道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

[Oh? Assigned to keep an eye on me was it?]

Contrary to Bai Yuechu's expectations of Yi finding this arrangement of Ye Gui Feng's to be unpleasant the latter seemed more amused by it instead.

"I assume you're agreeing to this then?"

[I don't mind. In fact it should be nice to have someone to talk to while I make a few necessary arrangements down the line.]

Having said these words Yi can't help but look to Bai Yuechu in a strange manner. How is it that the former is able to move in this region of the world where the flow of time has been halted?

"I allowed him to come to us."

As Yi turns his skeptical eyes to Duo Tian the latter shrugs his shoulders and answered the question he had on his mind.

[I see.]

"I don't have a lot of time on my hands so I intend to make my debt collection a swift one."

Pondering for a brief moment Yi nods and-

[I'll accompany you to meet with Long Feng Zi after that I... Hmm perhaps a bit of break might be in order before I begin making my arrangements. I need to have a better grasp of this world's situation beforehand.]

"Then let's not waste any time."

Spreading his divine senses outwards in the form of a sphere that covers both Yi and Bai Yuechu Duo Tian snaps his finger and-

*...!* following a sensation of discomfort that is associated with high speed movement Yi and Bai Yuechu abruptly finds themselves in the skies of the Primordial Continent of Immortals.

"..."

Looking at the Starry Seas that rests beneath his feet Bai Yuechu draws in a breath of fresh air as a feeling of nostalgia fills his heart.

Qinyin Gates, the sect that Ming Yue Yao had belonged to in the distant past originates from this continent and because of this it wasn't completely wrong to say that this continent is Bai Yuechu's homeland.

From the brief bit of information that Ye Gui Feng had obtained during his conversation with Wu Gongchen Qinyin Gates has continued to exist till this day for Exalted Celestial Ling Tian Hao is rumored to be a part of this sect.

[What's wrong?]

"No. Just that..."

[I heard it's common for people to look in the direction of home when they are lost in thought. Even if everything no longer looks the same your instincts as a living creature should still work. In that case is your home in that direction?]

Pointing towards the direction where Ling Tian Hao's domain is Yi looks for Bai Yuechu for confirmation.

The domain of Ling Tian Hao is the smallest when is compared to the other Exalted Celestials' territory and the only thing that stood out in it is the grand temple that is situated at its center.

This grand temple is made entirely out of white stone with veins of water flowing throughout its surface.

With how abstract these water veins are the temple gives off a futuristic impression to the eyes of those who are seeing it for the first time and forcing the temple to stand out further is the archaic design of the structures that surrounds it.

(...It's as if the lands surrounding that temple is severely lacking in technical knowledge.)

These would be the perfect words to describe the temple's relationship to its surroundings.

One side possesses a monopoly over an advanced generation of technology while the other is still stuck on the concept of a stone wheel.

"At this point it's difficult to call it home and I don't recall there being such a temple in my memories."

[Oh?]

"You'll have plenty of time later to make a visit and file a complaint. For now..."

As Duo Tian shifts their group towards the direction of Long Feng Zi's domain Yi immediately notices that something is off about it.

[Hm?]

"Noticed it have you?"

Placing a hand to his chin Duo Tian looks to Long Feng Zi's domain with a sense of amusement.

Situated at the center of a colossal landmass is a majestic kingdom that takes up a bit more than 50 percent of this supersized continent.

Positioned at the center of this kingdom is a towering mountain whose peak stabs into the white clouds and surrounding this mountain that the masses of this kingdom has come to call the Mountain of Dragons and Phoenixes are five statues.

The similarities that two of the five statues bear to Shen Sha Zi and Luo Sen readily gave the identities of these five individuals away as the five faithful servants of Long Feng Zi.

[...]

Despite how grand this kingdom's outward appearance may be the longer Yi looks to it the more apparent his frown becomes.

If it was someone beneath Yi's realm of cultivation they wouldn't possibly notice the oddities of this kingdom but-

[Yes. This entire kingdom- no this entire landmass is dead. He...]

Thinking about Long Feng Zi who is probably the only person to be alive on this landmass Yi raises a sigh while shaking his head.

"...?"

Towards Yi and Duo Tian's conversation Bai Yuechu raises a puzzling look but he didn't bother to ask them about it in detail.

"Let us move on then."

As the group begins to move towards the landmass their destination quickly becomes clear to Bai Yuechu that it is the central mountain's peak.

Navigating through the white clouds a dome shaped building is revealed to the group and upon landing it is revealed that the building is held up by 25 pillars of polished white stone.

One couldn't possibly call the interiors of this building well-decorated for all it possessed is a spring of warm water that is current frozen by the effects of halted time and floating by the side of this spring is an unusual chair.

This unusual chair that was originally a genuine moon had been cleanly cut down to the shape of a crescent and was further shrunken down into its current size making it a rather bizarre piece of furniture.

Unfazed by the unusual creation process of this chair Duo Tian readily sat upon it before looking towards the young man who stood on the opposite end of the spring.

[...]

Looking to the same young man nostalgic memories rapidly appear in Yi's head.

The golden haired young man who is dressed in a white set of imperial robes decorated with the patterns of dragons and phoenixes is none other than the owner of this entire mountain, Long Feng Zi.

"Wait."

[Hm?]

Just as Yi is about to help Long Feng Zi with escaping from the effects of frozen time Duo Tian calls for him to wait.

[...]

Noticing the subtle movements of Long Feng Zi in his current state Yi is surprised for a brief instance and as this movement that started out subtle increases in intensity a faint smile appears on Yi's face.

Following this he chooses to take a step back while lowering his right hand.
