Chapter 904 - 904 Fallen Royalty
"Check in at the depths of the Celestial Tomb?"
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly stunned.
The dark valley where he was currently located was roughly in the middle region of the Celestial Tomb, still quite a distance from the deepest part.
Moreover, the depths of the Celestial Tomb were obviously an extremely dangerous place.
Even Supreme beings didn't dare to venture there recklessly.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind.
But now that his physical body had not yet been reconstructed, relying solely on his primordial spirit to enter the depths of the Celestial Tomb was indeed somewhat dangerous.
Jun Xiaoyao planned to restore his physical body before entering the depths of the Celestial Tomb to check in.
In the time that followed, Jun Xiaoyao continued to wait for his physical body to recover.
Additionally, his primordial spirit had also completely recovered.
After all, the Immortal Spirit Indestructible Technique was not just for show; it had extremely strong recovery power for both physical body and primordial spirit.
And as Jun Xiaoyao's physical body was being reconstructed and restored.
Those threads of aura and pressure also became increasingly powerful.
The entire Celestial Tomb had chaos energy permeating through it.
This disturbance finally attracted the attention of some royal clans from other realms in this region.
After all, the Celestial Tomb was an ancient forbidden land, extremely sensitive, and easily drew attention.
Tens of thousands of miles away from the Celestial Tomb, there was an incomparably magnificent city.
This city seemed to stand amidst wind and snow, with ice-blue walls built from ten-thousand-year-old mystic ice.
This was the residence of one of the hundred great royal clans of the other realm, the Ice Spirit Royal Clan.
The Ice Spirit Royal Clan, at its peak, was once one of the top ten royal clans.
But during a certain era's great war between the two realms.
The Ice Spirit Royal Clan suffered heavy losses, with many of their powerful experts falling.
Even an ancient ancestor who had reached the level of quasi-immortal had perished.
This dealt a fatal blow to the Ice Spirit Royal Clan.
From being one of the top ten royal clans, they fell to the bottom of the hundred great royal clans.
If not for some ancestral legacy and foundation, they might not have even been able to maintain their status as a royal clan.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Ice Spirit Royal Clan was a declining royal clan.
And now, in a central ice palace hall within the city.
A silver-haired middle-aged man sat on the throne.
Below him were the elders and generals of the Ice Spirit Royal Clan.
In the center stood a beautiful young woman wearing a blue snowflake dress.
From her appearance, she looked only about eighteen years old.
But for cultivators, appearance could never determine a person's true age.
Cultivators under a thousand years old were all considered very young.
This beautiful young woman had snow-white silver hair, smooth and silky.
Her eyes were actually silver as well, as gorgeous as ice crystals.
Her oval face was exquisitely beautiful, her nose straight and delicate, her lips bright red.
Her figure was also excellent, with flowing curves.
Most eye-catching was her skin, as white and transparent as ice and snow.
The whole person looked like a beauty carved from ice and snow.
"Father King, why have you called for Qingxue?"
The silver-haired young woman named Fei Qingxue asked as she opened her lips.
"There have been some unusual occurrences at the Celestial Tomb recently. There might be some opportunities, perhaps a way to restore the Ice Bone in your body," said the Ice Spirit Heavenly Venerable.
Fei Qingxue's father, the Ice Spirit Heavenly Venerable, was a Great Heavenly Venerable expert.
He was also the current clan leader of the Ice Spirit Royal Clan.
"Qingxue understands." Fei Qingxue nodded her snow-white chin, but her expression didn't change much.
When she was born, she had an Ice Bone in her body.
Everyone in the Ice Spirit Royal Clan believed that Fei Qingxue was a sign of the clan's rise.
But fate was cruel.
The Ice Bone in Fei Qingxue's body was actually naturally defective and shattered.
This turned the clan's hope for Fei Qingxue into disappointment.
"By the way, there's another matter," the Ice Spirit Heavenly Venerable said, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.
For some reason, Fei Qingxue's heart skipped a beat.
She felt something was amiss.
"The Fire Rock Royal Clan has sent a message. The Flame Prince wants to take you as a concubine," the Ice Spirit Heavenly Venerable said gravely.
"Father King, that's impossible!" Fei Qingxue's mind buzzed, and she immediately refused.
As the saying goes, water and fire don't mix.
The Ice Spirit Royal Clan and the Fire Rock Royal Clan had never gotten along.
During the Ice Spirit Royal Clan's peak, they had kept the Fire Rock Royal Clan suppressed.
But now, after the Ice Spirit Royal Clan's decline, the Fire Rock Royal Clan had gained the upper hand.
The Ice Spirit Heavenly Venerable sighed deeply: "If it were just the Fire Rock Royal Clan, your father could still bear the pressure."
"But somehow, they've established a connection with the Black Peacock Clan."
The Ice Spirit Heavenly Venerable's words left Fei Qingxue standing rigid on the spot.
The Black Peacock Clan.
That was one of the top ten royal clans!
The Black Peacock King was also a renowned quasi-immortal expert in the other realm.
If the Black Peacock King could break through to become an Immortal King, the Black Peacock Clan would immediately rise to become a quasi-imperial clan!
Just like the Red Hawk Clan before.
It was no wonder the Ice Spirit Heavenly Venerable was so helpless, given the opportunity to establish a connection with such a powerful clan.
After all, what father would willingly let his daughter become someone else's concubine?
"Qingxue, you must consider not only yourself but the entire clan," the Ice Spirit Heavenly Venerable said with a haggard face and a helpless sigh.
"Yes, Lady Qingxue..."
The surrounding elders of the Ice Spirit Royal Clan all advised.
"Let Qingxue have some time to herself."
Fei Qingxue bit her red lips with her teeth and retreated.
...
Several days later, a procession left the city of the Ice Spirit Royal Clan, heading toward the Celestial Tomb.
Not only that, but other royal clans in this region also sent out teams.
Even some general clan beings were very curious about the changes in the Celestial Tomb and sent people to investigate.
Jun Xiaoyao naturally didn't know that his mere attempt to restore his physical body had attracted so much attention.
...
Whoosh!
A thousand-zhang golden sword light flashed in the dark valley, carrying an invincible momentum that seemed capable of cleaving the heavens!
It was as if the sky was about to be split in two.
"So this is the power of the Heaven-Cleaving Formula?"
Looking at the gradually closing huge void crack, Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit murmured.
One of the five divine formulas, the Heaven-Cleaving Formula, was indeed extraordinary in power.
When wielded by Jun Xiaoyao, who was now at the quasi-Supreme level, its power was even more formidable.
"Now I am far, far stronger than my past self, almost to the point where I could easily crush my former self."
Jun Xiaoyao was experiencing the realm of the seven levels of Supreme.
That feeling was as if the barrier between himself and the universe had disappeared.
As if he could touch the Great Dao with his own hands.
No wonder only at the seven levels of Supreme did one qualify to initially establish an inner universe.
After all, without a deep understanding of the Dao and its rules, one simply wouldn't have the ability to create an inner universe.
"Although I'm at the quasi-Supreme level, with my current strength and restored physical body, I estimate even a peak quasi-Supreme couldn't defeat me."
Jun Xiaoyao assessed his own strength.
At the seven levels of Supreme, forget about challenging across a major realm.
Even crossing a minor realm was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
For example, from early to mid-stage quasi-Supreme.
The gap might be greater than several major realms combined at the ninth level of Sage.
This was why it was so difficult to challenge across levels in the Supreme realm.
However, a freak like Jun Xiaoyao couldn't be measured by normal standards.
Jun Xiaoyao was now somewhat impatient to restore his physical body.
This way, he could emerge from the Celestial Tomb and meet the experts from the other realm.
And at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit suddenly revealed a strange expression.
"More beings have come to the Celestial Tomb, and this time... they are royal clan beings."
