The emergence of the Heavenly Deity from seclusion had a monumental impact!
Yet, unexpectedly, Shi Hao was not summoned. Instead, his residence remained tranquil. Qixia advised him to focus on enlightenment and not concern himself with other matters.
Clearly, she hoped that with the aid of the Immortal Exquisite Jade, Mo Xi would comprehend the supreme secret technique and pass it on to the Celestial Clan.
The younger generation of the Celestial Clan was disappointed. The higher-ups had not punished Shi Hao—on the contrary, they seemed to “dote” on him even more, assigning guards near the lake to prevent others from approaching.
Soon, attention shifted to another matter: Yun Xi and the other two prodigies had emerged from seclusion, successfully fusing with the Destiny Stone, embarking on a path of unparalleled destiny.
This event had a tremendous impact. In ancient times, there were six Celestial Beings who ultimately founded the imperial lineage of the Upper Realm. Now, such figures had appeared again, though they were still considered “seeds” for now.
Regrettably, there were originally four, but one had been slain along the way. Fortunately, another, though severely injured, had been healed.
Today, the entire city was in an uproar!
The appearance of the three prodigies made people temporarily forget everything else. Crowds lined the streets, cheering, heralding hope and glory—perhaps they would lead the Celestial Clan to rule the world once more!
Manjusaka and Fu Qu watched the three revered figures with complex emotions, especially the purple-robed woman. They couldn’t hide their sense of loss.
Before this, Yun Xi had been like them—not renowned for combat prowess or cultivation, but merely for her peerless beauty, standing alongside them as one of the three jewels of the Celestial Clan.
But the Destiny Stone had changed everything!
The clan possessed a discarded stone called the Destiny Stone, used to test the latent potential of the younger generation, determining who could perfectly fuse with the true Destiny Stone.
Yun Xi passed the test. She journeyed with a group to a mysterious land and ultimately stood out, merging with the divine stone. From then on, her path diverged entirely.
This was not unusual. The Celestial Clan was unique—they were divided into two stages: Human and Celestial. In the Human stage, mediocrity was allowed, but when it came to the Celestial stage, their potential would erupt!
Obtaining the Destiny Stone and fusing with it proved that these three possessed boundless future potential. In the Celestial stage, they would shake the ages.
As for their early foundations, it didn’t matter. The transition from Human to Celestial was a process of rebirth—their past paths would be “corrected.”
Starting anew was the true beginning of the Celestial path!
The Human stage was insignificant. The key was that once they underwent rebirth, they would unleash the brilliance befitting the Celestial stage.
How could Manjusaka and Fu Qu not feel disheartened? A girl once their equal would now become the most important figure in the clan.
Yun Xi’s beauty was no less than theirs—both were peerless beauties—but her status and future achievements would surpass theirs, destined to rise above them.
In the future, Yun Xi might rule the world, belonging to a realm beyond theirs.
At this moment, all eyes of the Celestial Clan were on Yun Xi. Clad in flowing purple robes, her hair lustrous and smooth, her forehead full and radiant, her arched brows delicate, her gem-like eyes sparkling, her cherry lips vivid, and her figure graceful and slender—she was ethereal, as if a fairy had stepped out of a painting, breathtakingly beautiful.
Moreover, she now carried an extraordinary divine aura, a result of her fusion with the Destiny Stone—recognized by the heavens, blessed with the wisdom of the cosmos, truly peerless in grace!
Many of the Celestial Clan’s younger generation stared at her in a daze, feeling inadequate in comparison.
Aside from Yun Xi, the other two were men, equally remarkable.
One, like Yun Xi, had not been among the strongest young Celestials before, but now, blessed by the heavens, he had risen, obtaining and fusing with the Destiny Stone.
The other was even more dazzling. Like Yun Xi, he had flowing purple hair, radiant like a waterfall, exuding a transcendent aura—a man of extraordinary divinity.
His name was You Yu—tall, robust as a flood dragon, his skin glowing, his gaze clear, his sword-like brows striking, handsome and majestic.
He was the Celestial Clan’s most formidable genius, a First-Generation prodigy who had already stunned the world. Now, recognized by the Destiny Stone, he was even more terrifying—unmatched!
Many young girls along the streets screamed, their eyes shining as they gazed at him. You Yu had long been hailed as the strongest of the younger generation.
After fusing with the Destiny Stone, his future achievements would be unimaginable!
Just as all young men looked at Yun Xi, all young women gazed at You Yu, some openly admiring him, calling out from the roadside.
Manjusaka and Fu Qu sighed inwardly, watching Yun Xi and You Yu walk side by side, a perfect match. Their synchronized steps and close companionship made them feel a pang of bitterness.
They knew that, barring unforeseen circumstances, these two would become a pair. The clan had such traditions—the strongest and most perfect Celestials would unite.
Manjusaka and Fu Qu had once admired You Yu, but now they stood no chance. Yun Xi and You Yu were clearly close, leaving no room for outsiders.
At this moment, Manjusaka and Fu Qu felt disheartened, even entertaining wild thoughts—what if they formed a bond with that detestable Mo Xi?
Perhaps, in terms of talent, Mo Xi was no inferior to You Yu?
They startled themselves. Was this desperation? Were they trying to compete with Yun Xi by associating with that hateful and shameless youth?
“Tell me, now that our three young sovereigns have emerged, can they suppress Mo Xi?” someone suddenly asked.
“They won’t lose to him!” one declared firmly, adding, “The reason Mo Xi could lift the Flying Immortal Stone, according to a True God, is that he might possess a special undying substance.”
This revelation shocked many. After learning the details, they regained some confidence!
“Regardless, I believe he’s no match for You Yu. Our First-Generation prodigy, fused with the Destiny Stone—who can rival him?!”
Many young Celestials nodded in agreement. Once a First-Generation prodigy appeared in their clan, it was a terrifying force—especially one fused with the Destiny Stone, destined to dominate his generation.
“Is Mo Xi truly strong?” You Yu, walking at the center of the street under the gaze of thousands, asked the beauty beside him.
Yun Xi nodded. “Extremely strong!”
The crowd was surprised. Even the three supreme prodigies had mentioned him.
“He slew a War King?” the other young man fused with the Destiny Stone asked.
Some gasped in shock.
You Yu nodded. “Rumors say the War Clan may have birthed a young War Emperor in this generation. I look forward to meeting him.”
His gaze was clear, his demeanor confident, his aura transcendent.
The trio had intended to visit Shi Hao but were told he was in seclusion and unavailable.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Clan’s higher-ups were deliberating.
“We’ve emerged from seclusion. It’s time to meet Mo Xi. To lift the Flying Immortal Stone and trigger supreme scriptures—remarkable indeed.”
“We must not disturb him now. Grant him the best environment for enlightenment. No one is to interfere.”
In the mist-shrouded hall, several Heavenly Deities were solemn, all valuing the foreign youth highly, hoping he would attain the perfect technique in the coming days.
This meant the Celestial Clan would gain a supreme legacy.
“Everyone, our scouts have returned. There may be surprises,” Heavenly Deity Qi Tuo announced, clapping to summon a shadowy figure.
Interest surged. These scouts had infiltrated the War Clan to uncover the truth.
“Through special channels, it’s confirmed—a young War King was indeed slain on the Bloody Plains,” the shadow reported.
“The War Clan kept this quiet. No word has leaked,” a Heavenly Deity sneered. They had lost a prodigy fused with the Destiny Stone, but the War Clan had lost a War King—a rough balance.
“My lords, the War Clan concealed this because of another extraordinary matter—the killer’s identity is unusual,” the shadow added.
“Oh? How so?” A Heavenly Deity’s oppressive aura filled the ancient hall.
“Rumors say… he is Huang!”
Silence fell. Then, an overwhelming pressure erupted—the Heavenly Deities were shaken.
“Huang?!” One stood abruptly, eyes blazing, divine chains weaving through the void.
Though lofty, they knew the name. In the Yuan Heaven Secret Realm, the Young Demon King Huang had battled prodigies, slain multiple First-Generation talents, and obtained golden scriptures.
The Celestial Clan knew much. Their ancient ancestor had once said those were likely the legacy of the Thunder Emperor.
“Heh, the War Clan hid this well. No wonder. I suspect they might take desperate measures to capture Huang!” a Heavenly Deity said.
This was no trivial matter. Huang possessed supreme techniques—who wouldn’t covet them?
“To think he appeared among us—unexpected!” another Heavenly Deity laughed.
“How should we proceed?” one frowned.
Huang held great secrets. His supreme techniques were world-shaking. Who wouldn’t want to seize him?
From another perspective, he had once humiliated the Immortal Palace’s heir, his talent astounding. If nurtured, he could become a fearsome deterrent.
“Summon him first. Let us meet him,” a Heavenly Deity decided.
Soon, Shi Hao emerged from seclusion and was led into the ancient hall. The guide was surprised—few were permitted here.
This hall was ancient, reserved for major decisions.
Shi Hao sensed the truth could no longer be hidden. Ascending the misty steps, he faced the Heavenly Deities.
To his surprise, Yun Xi and the two young men were also present, permitted to observe as core members.
“Who are you, truly?” a Heavenly Deity demanded, his voice imposing, seated on a mat wreathed in chaotic mist.
At this moment, Shi Hao was calm. With utmost composure, he answered, “I am Huang.”
“What?!” Yun Xi gasped, her eyes wide.
You Yu and the other young sovereign were equally stunned. This youth had another identity?
Above, the Heavenly Deities were silent. They hadn’t expected such frankness. The hall fell into stillness.
