Chapter 1049 Gathering Essences

These weren’t the only rumors spreading in the Immortal World. There is also a rumor that the Crown Prince of the Everlasting Moon Empire, Prince Yue Leiya had recently broke through the Emperor realm receiving the imperial title, the Immortal Lightning Moon Emperor and because of this news, the eyes on the Ancient Moon Clan and the Regal Lei Clan had been even more than the usual. The Everlasting Moon Empire’s main city had been bustling ever since this news had spread. There are also rumors spreading in the Everlasting Moon Empire saying that the current Emperor and Empress might be stepping down soon. After all, only an Emperor Realm cultivator can lead an empire.

The current Everlasting Moon Emperor, Yue Yuya, is said to have broken through the Tribulation Realm after his last breakthrough. It’s just that none of his children had reached the Emperor realm to take his throne and can only continue to sit on it until now. Even though there are lots of problems happening after the last breakthrough of the Immortal Sun Emperor to the Great Emperor Realm and adding to the fact that the Fairy Queen had injured the Moon Goddess had spread all over the Immortal Word. It is just that after leaving the Blood Sea, no one knows where these two had disappeared to again.

In the Black Cloud Academy. Yueguang Peak.

The Immortal Sun Emperor was watching the Moon Goddess meditating to stabilize her soul. He had been guarding her ever since she had fainted that day. She would need to meditate more than two hours a day just to stabilize her soul. Before she no longer needed this and only needed to eat a few nourishing pills everyday and that would be enough to sustain her soul. But after being injured again, her soul had gotten weaker. She felt sleepier and would need to meditate at least three hours a day to keep herself awake and ate a lot of nourishing pills to stabilize her soul.

Upon finishing her meditation, Yue Xuexia opened her eyes to see Shen Jueyang looking at her worriedly. The Immortal Sun Emperor upon seeing her awake immediately went to her and supported her.

He asked worriedly, "How are you feeling, Xue’er?"

"Don’t worry, Jueyang. My state isn’t that bad yet. I can still keep myself awake," said the Moon Goddess.

Seeing her pale complexion, the worry in the Immortal Sun Emperor’s eyes deepens and carries her in his arms. But one can see how much emotion Shen Jueyang is holding back seeing her current state.

"Don’t walk. I will carry you down," said the Immortal Sun Emperor.

He looked like he was blaming himself for what happened to her. Her soul injuries were stable and healing, but because she had to appear on the day all just to protect him, this thing had happened again. This is also one of the reasons why he wanted to become so powerful. He didn’t Yue Xuexia getting hurt at all. To do that he needs absolute power to protect her at all times.

Meanwhile, the Moon Goddess upon seeing him frown couldn’t help but feel bad for him. Not the same worry a woman has for a lover as that is something she could never understand at the moment. She sees her as her family and seeing him grief like this makes her uncomfortable. She didn’t want to see him with this kind of expression. She reached out her hand and suddenly pulled Shen Jueyang’s cheeks making the Immortal Sun Emperor suddenly stop walking and lowered his head to look at him with a surprised expression.

Seeing the silly look on Shen Jueyang, the Moon Goddess unconsciously smiled and said, "Don’t frown. It makes you look fierce. Do you want my timid disciple to act like a hamster in your presence? Also, do not blame yourself. What happened to me is not your fault. Who would have expected that bitch to appear like that. Either way, with how much she hated me, it’s not impossible for her to act insane."

"But if not for me, you won’t be there and she won’t appear there," said the Immortal Sun Emperor.

The Moon Goddess said, "You keep blaming yourself. Are you making me feel guilty? Don’t stress on it, that wasn’t even your fault or I am going to ignore you."

Sigh~

Shen Jueyang upon hearing this hugged Yue Xuexia tightly and whispered beside her ears, "Please don’t ignore me. I cannot bear it."

"Alright. I will not ignore you as long as you don’t blame yourself," Yue Xuexia said. "Moreover, it’s not like I cannot be healed. Once I’ve removed the Death Qi in me at the Nirvana Cleansing Pool I will be able to heal my soul much faster."

"I will find a way to get the keys to open the Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Nest. It will be soon," said Shen Jueyang as he lowered his head again and kissed Yue Xuexia’s forehead.

The Moon Goddess smiled slightly and said, "Jueyang, I have no heart. I might not understand your affection fully but I truly care for you. Can you please not get hurt in the future?"

"Alright. I promise you I will try to avoid getting hurt," said the Immortal Sun Emperor.

After having his conversation, the Immortal Sun Emperor had carried Yue Xuexia down to the dining hall where everyone else was waiting. This time the assassin king, Hei Yu and the Elf Lord Shi Chuan had left early. One to scout at what happened at the Blood Sea after they left and the other tried to find ways to grow immortal herbs that nourishes souls. Both focusing on the area they excel with.

The two Moon Princes, Yue Xuehua, the three from the Regal Lei Clan as well as the two principals were waiting for their arrival with Shen Taiyang and the Tan Family. As for the others that came with Shen Taiyang, they had tasked them to gather information about what happened after they left the Blood Sea Territory. After all, the rumors which were spreading about that place didn’t sound good, especially the fact that no one had escaped except for those who had left right away with the Teleportation Talisman.

"Good morning, Xue’er!"

"Morning!"

After exchanging greetings, Shen Jueyang gently placed Yue Xuexia down to a cushioned seat prepared by the Tan Family. They had heard what happened to Tan Shengyu and didn’t expect for such a thing to happen. That Fairy Queen is truly a menace. She simply loves making people hate her to the bone. They felt that the whipping she had received from Princess Meiyu wasn’t enough. They should have just crippled her directly or killed her.

Principal Wu Yao asked, "Xue’er, how are you feeling right now?"

"Shizun, don’t worry. My soul is stable for now. I will just need to sleep frequently from now on. It’s not that bad as long as I have a soul nourishing pill. My state would restore to how it usually is before I got hurt. Also Jueyang said he will find a way to enter the Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Nest. As long as I entered there most of my soul injuries could be healed," said Yue Xuexia.

The Immortal Thunder Emperor looked at the Immortal Sun Great Emperor and asked, "Jueyang, what do you plan to do? Where can you get the keys to open those ruins?"

"There is no problem with Dragon Blood Essence with Long Tianhei here. I will have to go visit the Ice Phoenix Divine Beast Race for their Blood Essence. If they are good, then they can be spared. If not..."

The Immortal Sun Great Emperor didn’t have to complete his words for others to know what he planned to do if the Ice Phoenix Divine Clan doesn’t give him their blood essence. With his current realm as a Great Emperor, most Emperor Realm cultivators are helpless against him. If there are people who can contend against him that will be another Great Emperor Realm cultivator or a Tribulation Realm cultivator. He needs to check with the Phoenix Ancestor of the Xue Clan if the Ice Phoenix Divine Race has an ancestor higher than Emperor Realm.

Shen Taiyang said, "I am going with you!"

"You will not. You will escort the Yue Family and the Lei Clan back home and schedule a meeting about alliance collaboration. That change in the Blood Sea is not normal. The possibility of the Blood Demon Emperor waking up is high now. If he truly wakes up completely then the whole Immortal World would become his battlefield," said the Immortal Sun Great Emperor, Shen Jueyang.

Prince Suyu of the Regal Lei Clan said, "I support this. After all, if the information in the books is right then the possibility that the Ancient Blood Demon Emperor was either a Great Emperor like Shen Jueyang or even higher realm. It’s an existence that lived through primordial times."

"We also need to prepare for Lei’er coronation. There is a lot of things to do and everything must be done step by step," said the Immortal Thunder Emperor, Lei Yuye.
