Chapter 1615: Chapter 675: Out of Control (50 Updates Seeking Monthly Tickets)

She actually broke through his Divine Power Restriction.

Xi Jiuye’s eagle-like eyes were filled with stormy clouds.

Although he hadn’t used his full strength, he knew very well that the Divine Power Restriction he set up couldn’t be broken even by a Human Clan expert at the Great Divine Power Realm.

This was the third time.

This woman, the third time, exceeded his control. ℯ

His fingertips still held the memory of the pleasing sensation of touching her skin—like the finest silk, intoxicating.

Just a moment ago, almost, he tasted her.

Was he mad, wanting to kiss a woman who was disgusted with him?

He had been with women before; he wasn’t a naive young man stumbling into romance.

Yet with those women, he felt only physical desire, never touching their lips.

Even with Lan’er, whom he cherished, he always stopped short, never truly intimate.

But moments ago, he had the urge to invade that woman’s lips, to make her body reek of his scent.

If he had really kissed her and tasted her, he feared he’d be lost forever, unable to let go.

That violent, almost mindless impulse was beyond Xi Jiuye’s control.

He repeatedly warned himself not to continuously yield to that woman.

Yet time and again, he hesitated.

His heart trembled at this completely unfamiliar self.

"Lord Xi, thank you for saving me."

From behind, Gongsun Zhi, who Xi Jiuye saved, timidly approached.

He was so terrified earlier that he dared not move, let alone peek.

He only knew Xi Jiuye had conversed and conducted some business with the Huangquan team leader, but sensed a peculiar tension between them.

Like lovers, yet like adversaries.

Before Gongsun Zhi could fully comprehend, he saw Xi Jiuye retreat with a grim face as the Huangquan team leader swiftly departed.

Xi Jiuye startled awake, remembering the presence of another person behind him.

"You’re from the Divine Realm?"

Ye Lingyue noticed Gongsun Zhi’s peculiarity; Xi Jiuye did as well.

With just one question, Gongsun Zhi fell to his knees before Xi Jiuye in fright.

"My lord... You... Who are you?"

Upon closer examination, Gongsun Zhi realized the person’s aura was ethereal and profound, an air ordinary members of the Human Clan could not possess.

Knowing he was dealing with a formidable figure today, Gongsun Zhi dared not hide anything further, spilling everything, including matters concerning the Jiu Provinces Cauldron.

Xi Jiuye was astounded upon hearing this.

He had spent several months in the Human Realm, diligently searching for the Jiu Provinces Cauldron and Hong Meng Fang Immortal, but to no avail, thinking he was misguided in his search. Yet he learned the Jiu Provinces Cauldron was already shattered into nine pieces.

No wonder he hadn’t found any clues.

With this revelation, his plan to refine a new Divine Realm using the Jiu Provinces Cauldron fell apart.

Finding one cauldron was already challenging; now fragmented into nine pieces across a vast region, it seemed hopeless.

While in Senluo Wanxiang City, he received a letter from Lan Chuchu.

It was her first letter after their argument, filled with affectionate details about herself and their unborn child, recalling their childhood shared hardships in the Ancient Village, without mentioning past disputes.

Xi Jiuye felt a pang of guilt upon reading it.

He had been unhappy with Lan Chuchu over the Divine Elixir issue.

Despite her temper, she was always understanding, pregnant now, due to give birth in a month to their first child, the Northern Territory’s first heir.

He needed to return.

Yet the fragmented Jiu Provinces Cauldron left the Northern Territory’s predicament unresolved.

Lan Chuchu and her child must endure in the cold Northern Territory; Ye Lingguang certainly wouldn’t return the seized ten thousand Divine Citizens.

Sensing the futility of finding the Jiu Provinces Cauldron, Xi Jiuye’s expression turned cold, his aura even more frigid.

But he was not entirely despondent.

The Jiu Provinces Cauldron, a Solid Rank Fang Immortal cauldron, mostly absorbed nature’s spiritual energy and had Spiritual Sense.

If he could gather the nine fragments and enlist assistance from Divine Realm’s Eight Pillar Immortals, the Jiu Provinces Cauldron might be restored.

"According to you, you possess a fragment of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron?"

"To be honest, my sister and I each had a half of the Tri-footed Cauldron Base Fragment, but... they were taken by the Huangquan team leader."

Gongsun Zhi mentioned Ye Lingyue with gritted teeth.

Observing Xi Jiuye’s expression, he knew the man also sought the Jiu Provinces Cauldron, devising a plan.

"My lord, I’m grateful for saving my life. You have an interest in the Jiu Provinces Cauldron? It’s a Divine Artifact cauldron, wondrous beyond measure. That woman has not only the cauldron base, but likely other Jiu Provinces Cauldron fragments."

Reflecting later, Gongsun Zhi realized Ye Lingyue’s Cauldron Breath was too potent for just one fragment and concluded she must have additional fragments.

Unable to seize them himself, he hoped to utilize Xi Jiuye.

"Oh? She possesses more fragments? Besides the Huangquan team leader, do you know the whereabouts of other fragments?"

Xi Jiuye asked calmly.

This explained why Ye Lingyue repeatedly escaped his grasp.

Though unfamiliar with Hong Meng Fang Immortal, the figure almost ranked among Divine Realm’s notable Holding Cauldrons Immortal.

The Eight Pillar Immortals, while not titled Divine Masters, wield great influence, reportedly even the Four Divine Emperors show them some deference.

Upon Xi Jiuye’s inquiry, Gongsun Zhi hesitated.

Considering his exposed identity and Ye Lingyue’s threat, Gongsun Zhi realized only this formidable figure could protect him.

Perhaps, if in good spirits, the lord might even return him to the Divine Realm.

"My lord, as I know, the Outer Heaven Tang Family in Ancient Nine Provinces possesses a fragment. But precisely which cauldron fragment, I don’t know. That’s all I know."

Gongsun Zhi grovelled.

"Tang Family?"

Xi Jiuye pondered.

"Yes, the Tang Family, my lord. I noticed that young lady Tang Tianqi seems fond of you. Just a gentle demeanor from you, and she might divulge the Tang Family fragment’s whereabouts." Gongsun Zhi suggested naïvely.

"Well, it’s late; you should get going too."

Gongsun Zhi was taken aback, suddenly overwhelmed by Primordial Power, before collapsing to the ground.

"A traitor to the Divine Realm, deserving of death."

Xi Jiuye sneered.
