Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 522: Rebirth of Divine Dawn

At that moment, Lian Xi was without a mask!

"Try not to stand out too much..." Yun Xiao had barely shouted these words when suddenly, two blazing white stars appeared out of nowhere above Sky Soaring City!

One star larger, the other smaller, their emergence instantly lit up the dark world, turning the whole city into daylight, even brighter than the day itself!

It was as if two Celestial Sourcecores of immense power had appeared in the sky!

This sudden change naturally startled everyone in Sky Soaring City. In an instant, the usually quiet city became noisy. Countless people came out of their houses, looking up at the sky!

Right above the two blazing stars was the very mansion of Sky Soaring City that now buzzed with voices, a short burst of chaos ensuing.

"What is that?"

Everyone's eyes widened, struggling to keep their gaze fixed on the celestial stars.

Soon, cries of astonishment rang out.

In no time at all, the words Primordial Doom Stars swept through the city, and Yun Xiao heard them clearly. He also saw that the girl in the white dress paid him no more heed, instead soaring towards those two blazing stars!

"These are not Celestial Sourcecores, but divine artifacts?"

Such a sudden and dramatic change was beyond Yun Xiao's expectations.

Why would such terrifying divine artifacts descend here?

Yun Xiao was still puzzled when a wave of exclamations crashed over the city.

"Didn't the Seventh Princess die? How could her bonded celestial treasure descend upon Sky Soaring City!"

"I don't know!"

"Look, from the direction of the mansion, someone is flying towards the Primordial Doom Stars!"

In no time, many of Sky Soaring City's inhabitants saw that streak of a white silhouette!

"Who dares so boldly?" From the direction of the manor, a figure of a man shot into the sky, pursuing the white-dressed girl, and shouted, "The arrival of the Seventh Princess's celestial treasure is not for the likes of common folk to approach!"

This man was none other than Lord Lu!! His appearance, indeed intimidating, managed to frighten many, but the crowd saw the girl in the white dress as if deaf to his threats still charging towards the blazing Primordial Doom Stars!

"Insolence!" Lord Lu bellowed deeply, stretching forth his hand from nowhere, and before his eyes, a hundred-meter-long astral arm formed, its hand wide enough to blot out the sky, reaching for the girl in the white dress!

A collective gasp rose from the crowd.

In that flash of lightning, the Primordial Doom Stars above suddenly descended, the two giant white stars rapidly orbiting the girl in white!

BOOM! The astral arm from Lord Lu struck the Primordial Doom Star, exploding on impact, disintegrating into dust.

"How is this possible?" Lord Lu looked on in disbelief.

Why would the Primordial Doom Stars protect this girl?

Amid this fierce brilliance, the girl in white, surrounded by the twin stars, suddenly turned, her gaze cold as she looked back at Lord Lu.

When her face appeared before him, it struck him like lightning, shaking him to the core!

His face turned ashen, his eyes wide with shock, as he hastily knelt in mid-air, bowing deeply and cried out, "This lowly Immortal did not recognize the arrival of Divine Dawn, and fears he may have offended. Please, forgive my ignorance!"

His panicked plea, in this deathly quiet moment, spread throughout Sky Soaring City.

"The Seventh Princess, Divine Dawn!"

After a brief silence, earth-shattering cries of astonishment swept through Sky Soaring City.

They all saw it! It was truly her! But... just yesterday, the Celestial Court had declared her demise! They had even issued a decree to pursue her killer! All of the Great Dao Celestial Realm had mourned for her yesterday. How was she alive tonight? Almost no one knew why!

THUD! THUD! THUD! Throughout Sky Soaring City, amidst shock and confusion, all the citizens knelt down, joining Lord Lu in worshiping Divine Dawn.

Suddenly, a declaration of authority spread far and wide.

"Heaven's way crumbles, the common folk suffer, the vermin never die, Divine Dawn does not perish." Following this proclamation, the blazing stars in the sky abruptly extinguished, and Sky Soaring City once again fell into the consuming darkness of the night.

The people were stunned into silence, slowly lifting their heads.

"Divine Dawn, she's gone!"

"What did her words mean..."

In the darkness of the night, the hearts of the people of Sky Soaring City were troubled for a long time. Even more troubled was Yun Xiao.

"From the Forbidden Tower to Sky Soaring City, she has but one name..."

What was that name? Undoubtedly, it was Divine Dawn. She was the Empress known as Divine Dawn. She was also a young princess of the Martial Emperor Clan surnamed Divine. Perhaps, she was also the fallen Seventh Princess.

"Is that what it means?" Yun Xiao hoped it was so. Because that would mean they were one and the same, they were both still here!

"But it seems she was disappointed in me, perhaps all that has transpired was because of my appearance, because I was too heartless..."

And so, she had left him.

Yun Xiao sat down slowly in the courtyard, his heart restless for a long time. All of Sky Soaring City was in turmoil, much like his own heart.

At some point, the little black beast jumped onto the table before him, rolling its eyes.

"Where's the little white tiger?" asked Yun Xiao.

"Of course it ran off," replied Blue Star with a shrug, "Those two big stars are probably a Pomelo too, that old hag always leaves treasures everywhere, it's like she's running a white tiger zoo!"

"What on earth is going on!" Yun Xiao exclaimed, clutching his hair in utter dismay.

"You've predicted correctly, and you're about to strike it rich," Blue Star chuckled.

"What?" Yun Xiao was momentarily stunned, then he grabbed Blue Star by the throat and demanded, "You're not joking, are you?"

"Joking? As if!" Blue Star rolled his eyes. "She already gave you a huge clue. From the Forbidden Tower to the Celestial Court… who was the saintess of the Forbidden Tower? It means at least Chen Xi has returned!"

"And what about Lian Xi?" Yun Xiao asked.

"She's there too," Blue Star replied.

"How can she leave me if she's so attached to me?" Yun Xiao was puzzled.

"It's precisely because she left you that it confirms Lian Xi is definitely here," Blue Star raised an eyebrow.

"Why?"

"She trusted you so much. Yet, you stabbed her right in the heart with a dagger. How could she not be mad? Especially since it was for another her! Wouldn't you be angry if it were you?" Blue Star laughed.

"..." Yun Xiao was utterly bewildered.

"That works?" His chaotic heart finally found some peace. "So, the gamble... it really succeeded?"

"Maybe the Seventh Princess of the Celestial Court also dreamt about you, so unexpectedly, her deceased spirit was also brought along. Her spirit must be in those two white stars. Her coldness towards you, it could even be because the three have merged into one," Blue Star explained.

Yun Xiao didn't know what to say. After a long moment, he exclaimed in awe, "That's incredible..."

"It proves you did the right thing," Blue Star said nonchalantly.

"How so?" Yun Xiao asked.

"The Divine Dawn of the Celestial Court is dead, obviously her attempt to transcend calamity failed miserably, resulting in her restless spirit. If it weren't for you bringing Lian Xi across the only way up, this place would've been beyond redemption. Now... there's hope again. Not only here, but also for your mortal realm," Blue Star explained.

"Would you look at that," Yun Xiao said, his voice hollow with disbelief. He hadn't anticipated that his actions would trigger such a series of unforeseen events.

"By the way, she won't go back and report me to the Primordial Immortal Ancestor, will she?" Yun Xiao asked.

"With the calamities of the Celestial Court still unresolved, why would she, who has barely reincarnated as an incarnation of transcending calamity, wish to die?" Blue Star retorted.

"True... The only bad news is, it seems she's come to hate me," Yun Xiao said, massaging his head, feeling a real headache coming on.

Just an hour ago, Lian Xi was still doting on him, utterly smitten. And now, she had declared, "I will never love you again!"

Who could endure such a shift?

As he worried, Blue Star rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, stop it. Your love and hate drama tires me. One moment it’s all sweet nothings, the next it’s bitter quarrels. In the end, you'll end up together anyway."

"This time it's really complicated," Yun Xiao shook his head. He could feel her disappointment in him. It was severe! This was a big problem.

"By the way, why did you just say I'm going to strike it rich?" Yun Xiao asked.

"I know why!" Red Moon grinned, saying, "She has those two stars and the resources from the Seventh Princess. Her cultivation is bound to skyrocket soon, and don’t forget, your third session hasn't happened yet, has it?"

"..." Yun Xiao fell silent.

Blue Star let out a sly laugh. "She hates you, right? When the time comes, she'll definitely take her revenge on you."

"Shut up," Yun Xiao bit his lip, "I can’t wrong her anymore."

Blue Star chuckled. "When the time comes, it won’t be up to you."
