The biggest change was the reconstruction of the five Sacred Islands. Cloud King Island, Sacred Heavenly Island, Flowing Mist Island, and Starfall Island had all changed their names and gained new names. There were new powers stationed on the Sacred Isle, attracting many strong people.
It was rumored that there were already Saints within the five reconstructed Sacred Isle. However, without confirmation, it was unknown whether this information was true or not.
In addition, the Qin Emperor also ordered the blockade of the island, not allowing anyone to approach it, even in memory.
Many people thought that Qin Xuan was protecting everything that Xi Hua Holy Lord left behind back then. After all, Qin Xuan was his successor, but they didn't know that Qin Xuan was worried that someone would accidentally barge into the Hua Tian Island and find out that Xi Hua Holy Lord was still alive.
Therefore, he sealed off the Hua Tian Island and let Xi Hua Holy Lord stay there quietly.
Time flew by, and the month Qin Xuan and Eastern Emperor Hao had agreed upon was just around the corner. Many people in the Xihua Islands did not forget about this matter, and even looked forward to this battle.
Just what kind of sparks would the collision between the top ranker of the Nine Regions and the top ranker of the Nine Realms, as well as the two peak-level geniuses, create?
Lone Smoke Island was a new island that Qin Xuan had opened in Xihua Islands. Because he missed Master and his senior sister who had stayed in Sunset Solitary Smoke City, he used Lone Smoke as his name.
The Lone Smoke Island was located in the nine Sacred Island's central region s, it had become a place where the stars formed an arch in the moon. Although it was just established not long ago, there were already many powers present, including some Sacred Island's First-class forces s, whose prosperity was not inferior to the nine Sacred Islands.
He could imagine that in the future, Lone Smoke Island would become the core island of the Xihua Islands.
In the center of the island, there stood an incomparably majestic and spectacular palace. Immortal light lingered around it and the atmosphere was majestic, it was called the Qin Imperial Palace.
At this time, in the tallest palace in the Imperial Palace, Qin Xuan was seated at the seat of honor. Below him were many figures, including Feng Qing, Lin Ru, Li Mubai, and the others.
"Tomorrow, I will set out for the Easternmost Island. At that time, I will leave everything on the Solitary Smoke Island in Big Brother Lin's custody for the time being." Qin Xuan looked down at Lin Ru and said with a smile.
"Alright, you can rest assured." Lin Ru nodded with a smile. Initially, he also wanted to follow them to the Easternmost Island, but the Lone Smoke Island had just been established not long ago and needed some people to guard. Moreover, he wouldn't be able to help if he went to the Easternmost Island.
"Do we need to inform Xia Wang Jie to go with us?" The Easternmost Island was the territory of the Eastern Kingdom, and the strong were like the clouds. Furthermore, the news of Qin Xuan and the Eastern Emperor's arranged battle should have already spread throughout the great power, and at that time, many powers would come to watch the battle.
If something like what happened on Saint's Island happened again, it would be difficult for them to end it.
"I have already informed Master of this matter. As for the decision, I believe Master will have his own judgment." Qin Xuan replied as he looked at Jiang Fengjue.
"That's good." Jiang Fengjue slightly nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Even if it is inconvenient for the Xia Wang Jie to appear, the Myriad Sword Island will send people there. Without sufficient reason, the various great power s should not target a junior for no reason." Li Mubai also said that since he had chosen to support Qin Xuan, then naturally, the Myriad Sword Island had to ensure his safety.
"It's the same for Ye Tian's family." Ye Tianqi softly said.
Qin Xuan looked at Li Mubai and Ye Tianqi, but did not say any words of thanks. With the many times Ye Tian and the Myriad Sword Island had helped him, they could not say anything to express their gratitude.
"In that case, it's decided." Qin Xuan said in a deep voice. A sharp glint flashed faintly in his eyes.
The following battle was of utmost importance.
The Eastern Kingdom already knew that he used to possess a phagocytic crystal. Previously, the Divine General of the Eastern Kingdom wanted to look through his memories to find the whereabouts of the phagocytic crystal, but he was forcefully stopped by the Eastern Emperor Haochen and set a date of one month.
He went to the Easternmost Island to fulfill his promise. If he won, the Eastern Kingdom might let him go, but if he lost the battle, it was very likely that the Eastern Kingdom would use this as a reason to forcefully detain him and ask about the whereabouts of the phagocytic crystal.
… ….
Within the crown prince's palace in the Eastern Royal City, the Eastern Emperor Hao stood there leaning against the railing, his eyes staring at the blue dome of heaven. His deep eyes seemed to be shining with a dazzling light.
"Royal brother."
At this moment, a voice drifted over as a group of silhouettes slowly walked over. The one in the middle was a young man, clad in luxurious robes and exuding an aura of nobility. This person was none other than the Eastern Emperor, Chen Yu.
Eastvictor Feng was by his side, as well as a few personal bodyguards.
The Eastern Emperor Hao turned his gaze, glancing at the Eastern Emperor, Chen Yu, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see my royal brother." Eastern Emperor Chen Yu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Eastern Emperor Hao moved his eyes away and continued looking at the sky. It seemed that he didn't have much interest in the Eastern Emperor Chen Yu, which caused the expression on the Eastern Emperor Chen Yu's face to freeze, making him feel slightly embarrassed.
His royal brother had a very proud and aloof personality since he was young. Other than a few big shots, he didn't put anyone else in his eyes. Other than cultivating, he wasn't interested in anything else.
Last time when he went to Xihua Islands, it was said that he publicly stopped the Divine General's actions and disobeyed the decree.
Looking at the entire Eastern Kingdom, he was probably the only one who would dare to do such a thing. Furthermore, royal father only chided him a little and did not punish him.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely be punished severely.
The Eastern Emperor Chen Yu glanced at the Eastern Emperor Hao, and then also raised his head to look at the sky, as if he was talking to himself: "The promised date between Brother Huang and Qin Xuan, based on my calculations, it should be here soon."
As these words were uttered, an undetectable trace of fluctuation flashed across the depths of the Eastern Emperor Hao's eyes. That day was indeed about to arrive.
"I just went to royal father's place. royal father told me to come here and pass a message to my royal brother." The Eastern Emperor, Chen Yu, spoke again.
"What do you mean?" Still, he didn't look at the Eastern Emperor's morning feather.
"Royal Brother must defeat Qin Xuan. At that time, royal father will keep him here as a reason." The Eastern Emperor, Chen Yu, replied.
In fact, he had some doubts in his heart. Other than using the Eastern Emperor's surname, Qin Xuan did not have many grudges with his Eastern Kingdom. With the background of the Xia Wang Jie behind Qin Xuan, royal father should not pursue the matter this way.
Offending Xia Wang Jie for the sake of a junior was very unreasonable. Not only that, he had even sent a Divine General to the Xihua Islands to capture him. It was even more inconceivable.
Eastern Emperor Chen Yu did not know that Qin Xuan had the phagocytic crystal, this was an absolute secret of the Eastern Kingdom. Only a few of the higher ups knew that, those who found out about it were all killed without leaving anything alive.
Of the younger generation, only Eastern Emperor Hao knew.
Eastern Emperor Hao naturally would not spread the news of this matter, the more people who knew about it, the more disadvantageous it was for the Eastern Kingdom.
"I will defeat him." Dong Huang Hao let out a voice from his mouth, under that calm tone, he revealed an incomparable sense of confidence.
It had always been a cross-border battle, and people of the same level as him were not qualified to be his opponent. Even though Qin Xuan was the strongest in the Nine Regions and had great talent, he was still going to lose in front of him!
Seeing that the Eastern Emperor Hao was still as proud and confident as before, the Eastern Emperor Chen Yu's face revealed a smile, "There is no need to say too much about Imperial Brother's strength, and among the same generation, who is your opponent? I just wonder what is so special about Qin Xuan that royal father thinks so highly of him?"
As the sound of his voice faded, the Eastern Emperor Hao's gaze slowly shifted over and landed on the Eastern Emperor Chen Yu. With an indifferent tone, he said, "This is not a question you should be asking. Go back."
The countenance of the Eastern Emperor Chen Yu instantly turned exceptionally unsightly. He didn't dare to voice out his anger, and the expressions of the others, including Donghuang Feng, all faltered as they held their breaths, as their heartbeats slowed by a great deal.
Right now, the Eastern Emperor Hao was simply too terrifying. Just by standing there, one could sense an extremely powerful pressure coming from him.
"Royal brother is leaving." The Eastern Emperor, Chen Yu, bowed towards Emperor Hao, then led everyone out of the crown prince's palace.
… ….
Xia Wang Jie, Abyss of Samsara.
An old man wearing a long white robe stood in the sky, his muddy eyes looked down at the endless abyss, and his gaze seemed to be able to see through the Endless Space, seeing the scene at the bottom of the abyss.
This old man was naturally Tian Shu. At this moment, his face had a grave expression on it, causing others to be unable to tell what he was thinking.
"Why did you suddenly come here?"
A voice suddenly sounded as an old woman slowly walked out. It was the second ranked out of the seven sons of Xia Wang Jie, Tian Xuan Zi.
"There have been some strange movements in the depths of the reincarnation cycle these past few days. It makes me feel uneasy, so I came to take a look." As he spoke, he continued to stare at the abyss of reincarnation.
"Strange movements?" Hearing this, Tian Xuanzi's gaze also became more serious as he looked down into the abyss.
She knew that the meaning of the existence of the Xia Wang Jie was, other than preaching to the world, another important matter, and that was to protect the Abyss of Samsara.
"The Abyss of Samsara only makes an unusual movement once every few hundred thousand years. Did you really feel it?" Before Grand Sage True Master left, he had allowed Tian Shu to take control of the Xia Wang Jie, so only Tian Shu was able to sense the movements in the deepest parts of the Abyss of Samsara.
"It's a bit blurry, but a lot of things have happened recently. It makes me feel uneasy." Everything in the world had its causes and effects, and it was only by chance that it was inevitable. If the general situation was going to happen, then it would be very difficult for a person to change his mind.
"I hope it's just an illusion." She had already been in the Xia Wang Jie for more than a hundred thousand years, but she had never seen anything strange happen in the Abyss of Samsara. She wondered what kind of scene that would be.
Before he left, True Lord Taishang had said that if there were any strange things that happened in the Abyss of Samsara, then many of the mysterious places in the Profound Sky Continent would also have strange things happen.
He had even predicted that, to the Profound Sky Continent, this might be a calamity, but at the same time, it would also be a heaven-defying opportunity!
