After Chen Junye figured this out, his mood improved greatly.
As long as he, in his identity as the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor, sensed where his wife was hiding, his goal would be achieved.
Then he could simply go find her as the father of their children.
Even if his wife could detect a perception at the Immortal Emperor level, she would not know that the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor was him… which meant no flaws would be exposed and no trouble would be brought.
That way, the blame could be left for the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor to bear.
…But how could he just dump the blame on himself?
Chen Junye felt that this must be a side effect of those three years of raising the kids, and it was not his problem.
The next moment, the perception of a peak Immortal Emperor swept out.
And it expanded rapidly.
In an instant, the entire Southern Heaven Immortal Domain was fully within his sight.
Chen Junye, of course, could not be more familiar with his own wife’s aura.
He figured that his wife was not as powerful as he was now. So no matter what secret techniques she used to hide her aura, she could not escape his insight!
He only needed a single trace to leak out, and he could lock onto Xia Zhiyao!
“Nothing…” Chen Junye stood at the edge of the sky and quickly discovered that there was no trace of his wife in the Southern Heaven Immortal Domain.
Then he intensified his perception, spreading it out toward other Immortal Domains.
The Immortal might was vast, causing all things to tremble.
…
At the same time.
The great powers of the Southern Heaven Immortal Domain, sensing that some strong cultivator was brazenly releasing his perception, all had slightly stiffened expressions.
Which bastard was being so arrogant!?
Releasing perception like this was no different from invading their territory! Exposing them!
What if it was an enemy and they were already locked on, with nowhere to hide!? How would they deal with that?
It was extremely unpleasant, to say the least!
They immediately wanted to find the source!
But they still overestimated their own strength.
The protective sect arrays of their various major powers all emitted groaning sounds, as if the array spirits themselves were trembling.
“Not good, the immortal arrays can’t block this perception!”
One by one, their eyes showed shock, because this meant their guardian arrays were nothing but decorations!
The internal affairs of their powers could all be observed! Exposed…
This kind of dominance was simply too excessive!
“With such power, it must be the work of an Immortal Emperor!”
If they could not provoke it, could they not just hide from it?
“Look, what is that!”
After a cry of alarm, a dark Eternal Night became visible in the sky and began to descend.
Endless stars revolved, twinkling with specks of light, forming a galaxy.
“It’s him…”
How is that possible?
That man has returned!
The Eternal Night Immortal Emperor!
Could this really be true?
But how else could this scene be explained?
“Releasing perception with this level of intensity, actually forming a tangible Eternal Night… what exactly does he want to do!”
The major powers were hopping with anxiety.
Azure Mystery Dao Sect.
At this moment, it had also fallen into turmoil.
The various Grand Elders immediately appeared!
“Whoever it is, don’t even think about seeing inside our Azure Mystery Dao Sect!”
After all, they were the top dogs of the Southern Heaven Immortal Domain. Such behavior was nothing less than a provocation and an insult!
“Raise the formation!”
If they could not block this, they might as well forget about saving face!
However, in just the next second, that formation was already penetrated with irresistible force.
Along with the descent of Eternal Night, everyone was stunned.
“It’s him, it’s him!”
The Eternal Night Immortal Emperor!
How is that possible?
Hadn’t his cultivation been completely scattered? Was he back at his peak now?
“…”
Wasn’t this a bit too monstrous?
Many Elders drew in sharp breaths, their faces grave.
The situation was even more out of control than they had anticipated!
They knew that Chen Junye had returned, but they had never expected that Chen Junye had already reached this level.
Wasn’t this countless times more powerful than when he was at his peak before?
Mo Qingrou had not mentioned this to them!
To ignore other Immortal Emperor greats like this was nothing short of arrogance!
But what exactly did he want to do?
“It’s Junior Brother!” On a mountain peak, Mo Qingrou was stunned for a moment when she noticed this.
Then her heart also trembled. “Junior Brother seems to be even stronger than before…”
Unbelievable.
She had thought Junior Brother had only recovered his foundation, but she never imagined he was even more terrifying now!
And she also understood that Junior Brother was probably sparing no effort to find his wife, Xia Zhiyao.
Then what did he mean by asking her to find Xia Zhiyao before?
Making her work for nothing…
…I get it. Junior Brother must have used that as an excuse to come and see his Senior Sister.
It could not be that Junior Brother’s brain had become dull after getting married, could it?
“After so many years, Eternal Night descends once more…”
A faint smile appeared on Mo Qingrou’s face.
Then her emotions became mixed. It was a pity that the peak no longer belonged to Azure Mystery Dao Sect.
…
A similar scene occurred in other Immortal Domains.
But the Eternal Night continued to spread, showing no sign of stopping.
To the point that what was originally a simple act of perception had become extremely terrifying.
Supreme Way Immortal Domain.
Supreme Emperor Palace.
“How utterly outrageous! The Barren Emperor Hall was so despicable before, and yet they still have the audacity to come and discuss a marriage alliance!” Palace Lord Leng Jueshuang was so angry that even her state of mind had changed.
“It seems they still have not given up their wicked designs on you!”
Xia Zhiyao was the prodigy that their Supreme Emperor Palace had cultivated with all their might, a young Immortal Emperor hidden in secret!
Many years ago, when Xia Zhiyao came out of seclusion and went to see the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor’s grandeur, she happened to meet the emperor son of the Barren Emperor Hall, and was secretly ensnared.
Everything happened.
As a result, the relationship between the two major powers was now extremely strained! But just a few days ago, the Barren Emperor Hall sent people, claiming they wanted to turn hostility into jade and silk, to resolve this misunderstanding and prejudice. Could the Barren Emperor Hall take a step back, make a sacrifice, and be willing to form a marriage alliance?
Their skin was truly thick! They would not even admit to their dirty deeds, yet they still had the nerve to act so arrogantly!
They had really thought it through.
Xia Zhiyao had not tied up her hair, simply letting her jet-black hair hang loose.
At this moment, her face was also icy cold.
“Palace Lord, just tell them to scram!”
She was only at the 1st level Immortal Emperor realm now and could not change much. Even with the power of Supreme Emperor Palace, if the Barren Emperor Hall was shameless, they did not have a very good way to deal with it.
“I’ve already told them to scram!” Leng Jueshuang said with anger.
Although this was a good way to resolve the enmity between the two major powers, they would not sacrifice Xia Zhiyao, who they had raised with so much effort! If they did, it would seem as if Supreme Emperor Palace was creating trouble out of nothing, which would be utterly ridiculous!
But Xia Zhiyao had sacrificed herself to a mortal boy, which was also enough to make her spit blood.
And she also understood that the reason the Barren Emperor Hall was doing this was still because they coveted Xia Zhiyao’s Exquisite Immortal Physique!
All just to make that emperor son, Bai Yuan, stronger…
Then Leng Jueshuang looked at Xia Zhiyao and said, “Zhiyao, are you really not planning to bring Yuan’er and Hao’er here?”
“We are not completely powerless against the Barren Emperor Hall! If Yuan’er and Hao’er do not come and just follow their father, I am afraid their entire lives will be ruined!”
A high starting point was always a good thing, after all.
As the Palace Lord of Supreme Emperor Palace, she naturally knew about Xia Zhiyao giving birth to a son and a daughter.
But Xia Zhiyao had been forced to combine with a mortal to preserve her life, so she could not blame her.
She could only blame the Barren Emperor Hall’s despicable methods!
Xia Zhiyao shook her head. “Palace Lord, there is no need to mention this matter again. Until the Barren Emperor Hall is destroyed, I will not have such thoughts.”
She understood very well what the Palace Lord was thinking. Since nothing could be stopped, the Palace Lord only cared about the bloodline she had left behind, wanting to cultivate it. How could she possibly think highly of her husband?
As a mother and a wife, she had to consider her husband’s feelings and think of her small family.
So this was not the best choice.
Furthermore, because of the matter with the Barren Emperor Hall, a conflict could break out between the two major powers at any time. If the Barren Emperor Hall learned of her husband and children, they would surely be caught in the crossfire!
Only when all karmic ties were resolved could she return in peace… and that might take a very long time.
Leng Jueshuang naturally understood Xia Zhiyao’s thoughts.
If it were exposed, she was afraid her husband and children would be implicated.
But it was one thing that Xia Zhiyao had lost her virginity, something unavoidable. Now her children still would not come to Supreme Emperor Palace for training…
Pain, so much pain!
To the point that she felt even more displeased with Xia Zhiyao’s husband!
That boy really had incredible fortune! Wasn’t everything Xia Zhiyao did for him!?
And all the endless efforts of Supreme Emperor Palace had been taken advantage of by him! Who could be okay with that?!
“Fine, I respect your choice.”
Let Xia Zhiyao have her way.
But she still felt she needed to send some people to talk to Xia Zhiyao, to make her interested in bringing Yuan’er and Hao’er to Supreme Emperor Palace!
At the same time, both of them sensed a power sweeping over them, and their pretty faces changed slightly.
