Chapter 522: Passing on the Message

Xue Ying looked on from the side. It was easy for him to guess that his father-in-law must have used an isolating treasure to prevent people from finding the hidden object.
Ka~ Jing Qiu extended her tender, white hand and pointed forward. In response, a large part of icy layer on the planet’s surface was torn apart and began to float away. Quickly after, the enormous layer of ice also dissipated. Considering how powerful stage four World Deities were, they could easily destroy entire planets without having to use more than a strand of their power, nevermind this layer of ice that was no more than a few thousand kilometers deep.
The entire layer of ice melted into nothingness with the exception of several ice crystals which remained completely unharmed.
“This should be it.” As Jing Qiu waved her hand, the icy crystal dust landed on her palm. “Let’s go.”
The two returned to the Starfield Flying Ship. Back on board, Jing Qiu began to speak, “This should be father’s Cultivation Eden treasure.” Jing Qiu looked at the dust sitting on her palm. “Since father decided to send his avatar into the ruins of the Lake Heart Island, it’s only natural that he wouldn’t bring his cultivation eden treasure along with him. But now he’s stuck within Lake Heart Island, a place known to be riddled with danger. He’s even being pursued by the Nine Yang Palace Head and the other four, and there other experts might be joining in as well soon. Ai…”
Jing Qiu’s eyes were filled with anxiety.
“Jing Qiu, let’s just go to the ruins of the Lake Heart Island too. What do you say?” Xue Ying said.
Jing Qiu looked up at Xue Ying, a startled expression on her face. “Xue Ying, you want us to go over to Lake Heart Island? That, that’s just too dangerous! There’s no need to do such a thing. You have no obligation to risk your life for the sake of my father.”
In truth, Jing Qiu had also been planning to go over and help her father, but she wasn’t willing to drag Xue Ying along into such a dangerous situation.
“Hahaha, your husband’s true body is in the material realm, so what should I be afraid of? Should worst come to worst, this body will simply perish inside the ruins of the Lake Heart Island.” Xue Ying laughed out loud. “On top of that, lately, I’ve started to feel like I’m nearing a bottleneck in my cultivation. My affinity with the dao of spacetime is not very good, and it will be quite difficult for me to further my cultivation in it. More importantly, I haven’t experienced any refinement through dangerous encounters in a very long time! I can even feel my will starting to slowly weaken.
“I’ve got to sharpen it some if I want to keep going.”
“A blade will only get sharper if properly honed. If the live I live is too safe, it would only end up eroding my will,” Xue Ying said. “You and I both have the power of stage four World Deities, while ordinary ruins simply aren’t that dangerous. The Lake Heart Island, on the other hand, is brimming with danger, and that alone would still make this adventure meaningful! I wish to go out at this time not only for the sake of saving father-in-law, but also to refine myself.”
Jing Qiu was moved to hear all of this. Was there really any need for Xue Ying to enter the ruins of the Lake Heart Island just for the sake of refining himself? It truly was too dangerous of a location for such a thing! Such a place far surpassed the level of danger Xue Ying would normally accept to face just for the sake of refining himself.
Xue Ying sent her a meaningful gaze. “I’ve already decided to go take this risk and enter the ruins of Lake Heart Island. Will you come with me?”
Jing Qiu gave a heavy nod. “We’ll go together!”
“Haha, we’ll have to make some preparations before we leave, though.” Xue Ying revealed a grin.
“Indeed, we need to make sure we’re ready.” Jing Qiu was clear of how dangerous the place they were about to enter was. She was still not sure that bringing Xue Ying along would be the correct choice or not, but she was well aware that Xue Ying had already made his decision. Naturally, Jing Qiu’s heart couldn’t help but warm up at the sight of this.

Flower petals were floating amidst a continuous chain of grand palaces. Inside a specific palace hall, the white-robed, beautiful Seventh Mei Yu, was currently in distress.
She had already become a World Deity, but a stage one World Deity like her was in no position to participate in the matter regarding her father.
“Father!”
“What should I do, father is being pursued.” Seventh Mei Yu could feel herself getting more and more worried.
A short while ago, her teacher, Monarch Mother Whirlpool, had left her with some information as well as an order, “Disciple, one of your father’s bodies, Monarch Mo Xue’s avatar, was killed by a team of experts. His other body is currently hiding inside of Lake Heart Island, but it is also being pursued. I’m afraid I cannot do anything about this matter! For the moment, it would be best if you remained here. You’re forbidden from going out and acting as you wish.”
While the information regarding Monarch Mo Xue’s situation had yet to truly spread, most stage four World Deities and powerful existences were already aware of this matter. The resentful Nine Yang Palace Head and Old Mother Withered Tree had even signaled stage four World Deities to occupy the Mo Xue Empire in secret!
Just a few days after the news were transmitted.
“Your Highness Seventh, our country is currently on the verge of total collapse. Most neighboring empires have begun eating into our Mo Xue Empire, and it’s looking more and more like the empire is doomed to fall.”
“Your Highness Seventh, the World Deity avatar of the third princess destroyed itself, and her palace has been occupied.”
“Various World Deities have betrayed the empire.”
“Little sister, do not come here.”
“Little sister, we’re all fine, but the empire won’t be able to continue standing.”
A great volume of news had arrived, further increasing the worry Seventh Mei Yu was feeling. Monarch Mo Xue had sent her a single message, “Little Seventh, do not leave Monarch Mother Whirlpool’s side. She’ll definitely protect you! This matter I’ve gotten myself into is nothing for you to worry about.”
She should not worry?
