Xuanmo Realm, a small habitat close to the sea of fog. The entire realm is only about 200 miles in size, and the closest point to the edge of the sea of fog is less than 300 miles.
However, because it is close to the sea of fog, it has become a place for many practitioners to prepare, take a breath, and escape, and later gradually developed into a place for trading. As a result, the Xuanmo Realm has not gradually declined, but has shown some signs of prosperity.
Almost every day, a different number of Xuanists die in the Xuanmo Realm. All of these people escaped from the Sea of Fog, but were corroded by the abyss. They died in the Xuanmo Realm before they could return to their homeland... And this kind of misfortune finally befell the son of the King of the Xuanmo Realm a month ago.
Mo Xifeng, the current Realm King of Xuanmo Realm, although the realm he controls is small, he knows a lot of people and has extensive connections. To be able to support this realm in such a dangerous place, his cultivation must be extremely high. He had achieved the God Destruction Realm a thousand years ago. Although he can no longer advance at the first level of the God Destruction Realm, it is enough to provide deterrence.
His most talented son, Mo Qianyou, successfully broke through to the God Lord realm. With his father's permission, he stepped into the fog sea for the first time. However, he encountered a God Lord Abyss Beast at the outermost edge of the fog sea. Although he had a guardian by his side, he was still seriously injured. Abyss dust invaded his body and abyss corroded his heart, leaving him with no chance of survival.
Mo Xifeng, who received the message, felt like he heard a bolt from the blue. He rushed straight into the sea of fog like a madman. At the edge of the sea of fog, he saw his beloved son surrounded by gray fog. The erosion had not only penetrated his heart, but also his profound meridians and energy channels. As far as he knew, this was a completely unsolvable disaster that was sure to kill him.
As he howled in agony and despair, without the dignity of a Realm King, he saw a pair of gray eyes hidden in the thick mist, and received a gift that seemed like a dream...
A month later, Mo Xifeng stepped into the sea of fog again, bringing with him Mo Qianyou, whose wounds were almost invisible and whose aura revealed a hint of weakness.
Outside the fog sea, there is the Xuanmo Realm, which is convenient for rest and recuperation. There are many Xuan practitioners coming in and out of this area. Mo Xifeng, however, ignored it and pulled Mo Qianyou to kneel on the ground. He shouted to the foggy front: "Mo Xifeng, the king of the Xuanmo Realm, and his son Mo Qianyou, have come to thank the King of the Fog for saving our lives!"
His voice was loud and every word he said was sincere, attracting the attention of all the mysterious people in the surrounding area.
"The Mist Emperor rules the sea of mist, and his majesty is endless. I am just the king of a small world, and I really don't know how to repay the Mist Emperor's kindness. I can only present my heart here. If the Mist Emperor needs me, Mo Xifeng, in the future, I am willing to sacrifice my life for him!"
There is no telling how many Xuanists from all over the world come and go in the Xuanmo Realm every year. In such an environment, Mo Xifeng always treats people with loyalty and honors his promises.
"Qianyou, quickly thank the Mist Emperor for giving you a new life."
Only after Mo Qianyou kowtowed respectfully towards the sea of fog in front of him to express his gratitude did the father and son stand up.
Strange looks kept coming from all around, and Mo Xifeng naturally knew what these looks meant. According to rumors during this period, the Mist Emperor had saved many people, bringing them back to life from certain death, and they were all ecstatic... but no one had ever returned to thank him after a miraculous recovery.
Because publicly thanking the "Mist Emperor" would undoubtedly be disrespectful to the only emperor in this world.
When Mo Xifeng and his son were about to leave, something strange happened.
The roars of the abyss beasts all stopped in an instant, and the entire sea of fog seemed to have suddenly fallen into absolute silence.
The sky suddenly darkened, and a huge and boundless abyss of fog rose up and spread across the sky.
“This… this is…”
“Is it… possible…”
Mo Xifeng and Mo Qianyou, father and son, turned around abruptly and looked up blankly... Their sights were fixed on a pair of twisted grey eyes.
"Mist...Emperor!"
Mo Xifeng's throat rolled, making a sound that sounded like shock and fear.
The sea of fog was so vast, and the appearance of the Fog King was always short-lived. He never thought that his thanks would be responded to by the Fog King.
The mystics in the surrounding area all stood there in a daze, their whole bodies tense and their minds tense, staring blankly at the legendary vision.
"Moxifeng..."
The voice of the Mist Emperor came from the abyss of fog. That terrifying voice entered their ears and hearts, making them feel as if their souls were being torn into a bottomless abyss. "This emperor has shown me countless favors, and you are the first person to come and thank me."
"It seems that this dirty world is not full of dirty people."
Mo Xifeng quickly pulled Mo Qianyou to kneel down again: "The grace of saving my life is greater than heaven. The grace of the Mist Emperor, my father and I will never forget even a little bit in our lifetime, but I only regret... I don't know how to repay it."
"How can I repay you?" The voice of the Mist Emperor suddenly became cold and piercing, and every word was like a cold blade that cut through the soul: "This entire world of the Abyss was saved by me. When have you ever repaid me? How can I repay you!"
"...Huh?" Mo Xifeng was stunned. All the Xuanists who heard this voice were stunned, completely confused.
The entire abyss... was saved by the Mist Emperor?
What kind of absurd statement is this?
"Mo Xifeng, considering your actions today, I may grant you another grace."
The deep fog surged, and a black light flew towards Mo Xifeng.
Mo Xifeng quickly reached out to take it and found that it was an ordinary abyss stone with a thin mist rising from it.
"If you encounter an unsolvable disaster, crush this stone in the sea of fog, and I will grant you an audience with the emperor."
"After today, the abyss of the sea of fog will no longer disperse to the Mysterious Desert Realm. Even if the isolation barrier is removed, the abyss of the Mysterious Desert Realm will be much weaker than before. You go ahead."
The deep fog rolled in, and in an instant it merged into the endless sea of fog, leaving no trace.
The voice of the Mist Emperor disappeared into the sky, leaving Mo Xifeng and his son stunned on the spot, as if they were in a dream.
It was not until the roar of the Abyss Beast, which had been silent for a long time, sounded again that the group of Xuanists, who seemed to have lost their souls, woke up from their dreams. However, they no longer had the mind to practice, and their hearts were all filled with the excitement and shock of the legendary Mist Emperor.
When Mo Xifeng and his son returned to the Xuanmo Realm, they found that all the core elders were floating outside the realm, and seemed to be checking the barrier that isolated Yuanchen.
"What happened?" Mo Xifeng stepped forward quickly.
"King Kai, something strange has happened." Several elders gathered around, each with a look of intense excitement and even greater confusion: "Just now, the concentration of the Abyss Dust in the city suddenly dropped sharply. We thought that King Kai had strengthened the isolation barrier in some way, but now we find that the Abyss Dust outside the realm has also weakened to this extent."
"..." Mo Xifeng and Mo Qianyou looked at each other, both speechless for a long time.
"King Kai? Could it be...something big really happened?" Their strange expressions caused all the elders to look at them sideways.
Mo Xifeng held the seemingly ordinary abyss stone tightly in his hand, but he did not answer the elders' questions. Instead, he stared with his eyes wide open, and muttered in dismay, "It's actually true... It's actually true..."
"Then... he really is... the Emperor of the Sea of Mist..."
…
Deep in the sea of fog, Yun Che walked slowly out from the rolling abyss of dust. As soon as he stood still, Li Suo's voice suddenly rang out:
"What are you doing?"
Mo Qianyou has reached the Divine Lord realm, and has a guardian at his side. As long as he doesn't commit suicide, he won't encounter any major danger at all at the outermost edge of the fog sea... But unfortunately, he encountered a Divine Lord mid-stage Abyss Beast at the outer edge of the fog sea, which should have been full of low-level Abyss Beasts.
Because it was controlled by Yun Che.
“As usual, I spread bait everywhere.” Yun Che said casually, “Look, today someone finally took the bait.”
"That's not what I'm talking about." Li Suo said, "Although your ability to control the Abyss Dust is increasing day by day, you still need to spend a lot of energy to control the Abyss Dust on the periphery so that it does not spread towards the direction of the Xuanmo Realm, and you will have to spend several hours every day to maintain it. You... really have to keep..."
“You can tell with your toes that this is impossible.” Yun Che sat on the ground. As his eyes closed, the surrounding abyss of dust all moved towards him. “It won’t last long. This is just another bait. The most important thing is actually the stone thrown to Mo Xifeng.”
"The news of today's events and the sudden fall of the Abyssal Dust in the Mysterious Desert Realm will surely spread. Rumors that have not been seen with one's own eyes will always remain just rumors, but the changes in the Abyssal Dust in the Mysterious Desert Realm are facts that everyone can sense. In this case... it's time to move the Pure Land."
His voice was cold and calm, and even Li Suo, whose soul was connected to his, could not sense the slightest ripple.
In this short year, Yun Che's ability to control Yuan Chen has become more and more terrifying. Or to put it another way, his body has become more and more compatible with Yuan Chen, who is feared by everyone in the world.
A year ago, he appeared for the first time as the "Mist Emperor". In order to gather the abyss dust that was enough to conceal the aura of the Abyss Kirin God, it not only took him a very long time, but also almost cost him half his life.
Now, with just a slight movement of his mind, the deep fog he stirred up could cover the sky and block out the sun.
Li Suo had a vague feeling… Rather than saying that Yun Che was trying to make his body and strength fit with Yuan Chen, it would be better to say that he was quickly recovering the inseparable affinity that already existed between him and Yuan Chen.
While his control over Yuan Chen improved by leaps and bounds, his Xuan Dao cultivation…did not move at all.
"How long are you going to suppress your cultivation?" she asked.
He could have broken through to the fourth level of the Divine Lord Realm nine months ago, but he had been suppressing it.
“Oh…” Yun Che opened his eyes: “You did remind me. Meng Kongchan is now piling all his resources on me. With the perfect godhood on my side, it would be abnormal if I didn’t break through.”
"Then I'll make a breakthrough later."
He seemed to be talking about a small matter that he was forced to do.
"That's not what I meant." She once again asked the question she had asked several times before: "The reason you suppressed your cultivation before was to achieve a breakthrough in front of Hua Caili and Hua Qingying. Now, why do you want to suppress your cultivation by force? Given your current situation, I can't think of a reason."
“It’s strange that you could think of that.” Yun Che said with an arrogant look as if he had mastered everything. “You just need to know that this is very important. As for the reason…”
He still didn't give her a definite answer, but at the corner of his lips, he revealed a rather strange smile... a smile that was so strange that it made people shudder: "Don't worry, you will know."
Without staying for too long, he stood up. With just a simple movement of standing up, the surrounding abyss dust instantly gathered, completely submerging his entire body in the abyss mist, and then a pair of twisted gray eyes slowly appeared above the abyss mist.
"It's time to go check on this emperor's cheap disciple."
"I hope he can endure today's brutal training."
The Mist Emperor's voice was cold and gloomy: "If it wasn't cruel enough, if it wasn't painful enough, how could we remember such power and the difficulty of revenge!"
————
Abyss, pure land.
There was hardly a trace of gray in the white sky, only a faint golden glow that was barely visible.
This is the purest, most luxurious and most sacred sky in the entire abyss.
Trample! Trample! Trample!
The collision of armor symbolized the majestic steps of the knights. As the sound suddenly stopped, the Abyss Knight Bai Yu had already bowed to the ground: "I obey the call of Commander Yuchi, Bai Yu comes to receive the order."
The tall man in front of him slowly turned around, wearing a white heavy armor that reflected a star-like light.
The 24th Knight of the Abyss and one of the 36 commanders of the Abyss Knights - Yuchi Nanxing.
"Bai Yu," he said with his eyes downcast, his every word and action revealing the dignity of an Abyss Knight: "The so-called 'Mist King' has appeared again. This time, I want you to bring all your knights with you and go there in person to capture him."
Bai Yu did not immediately accept the order, but said: "The sea of fog is so vast that we can't find him anywhere. If we wait for him to show up, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"This time it's different." Yuchi Nanxing said, "There is a way to lure him out. However, everything about him is mysterious and strange. You must be cautious and don't underestimate him. If you can't capture him, you must also get a glimpse of his true form and recognize his aura."
"Yes." Bai Yu responded heavily: "In the name of the emperor, he must die without mercy! Now that the Abyss Knight has appeared, there will be no place for him in this world."
He stood up, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked as an equal: "Commander, the rumors about the 'Mist Emperor' have become more and more intense in the past year, and are gradually getting out of control. Do the Emperor Yuan and the High Priest have any clear instructions on this?"
Yuchi Nanxing said coldly, "Such a villain is not worthy of the attention of the Emperor Yuan and the High Priest. Besides, the Emperor Yuan has been in Paradise Lost for some time, so he should not care about other things."
"Yeah." Bai Yu nodded.
"Leave immediately." Yuchi Nanxing looked southward, his voice gradually becoming colder: "Go to the place called Xuanmo Realm."
…
As soon as Yun Che walked out of the cultivation space, he sensed that there was something different about the aura of the Son of God Palace.
As expected, Meng Kongchan was standing in the courtyard, and everyone in the God's Son Hall was waiting respectfully. When Yun Che stepped out, Meng Kongchan also turned around with a smile: "Yuan'er, I heard that you spent 80% of your time practicing this year. You really don't need to be so hard on yourself. As the son of this deity, it is only natural that you should enjoy luxury and pleasure."
As he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly flickered, and he showed an expression of surprise that he could not suppress: "Yuan'er, you... have made a breakthrough!"
At this moment, Yun Che was emitting the aura of the fourth level of the Divine Lord Realm.
“Yes, I just completed a breakthrough.” Yun Che also had a satisfied look on his face.
“Hahahaha!” Meng Kongchan laughed loudly, shocking half of the Dreamweaver Divine Kingdom. “That Huaxin Divine Venerable once said that you just completed a breakthrough to the third level of the Divine Lord Realm last year. It’s only been a short year, and you’ve made another breakthrough! You are worthy of being my Yuan’er, you are worthy of being my Yuan’er! Hahahaha!”
