CHAPTER 425: CHAPTER 401 CENTRAL STATE REGION

Shi Nian is quite confident in Qing Yi. As the Daughter of Fate, as long as her fate does not falter and she maintains her proactive attitude, most things she wishes to accomplish can indeed be achieved.

Qing Yi is similar to Feng Ying from the Lower Realm, a born leader.

Some matters, though extremely complex, become organized and clear when handled by them; this is undoubtedly a sign of talent.

Shi Nian also discovered something.

Though she has never shown herself, Qing Yi and Emperor Jiang have crafted an image of a Goddess in managing the Northern Domain, claiming that the Goddess was the one who defeated Feiyun and saved countless lives from catastrophe. Although Qing Yi and Emperor Jiang know Shi Nian prefers to stay low-key, they firmly believe that the only true ruler of the Northern Domain is Shi Nian, and only Shi Nian can be.

Shi Nian felt a mix of laughter and helplessness towards their thoughts, as she genuinely does not care about these superficial honors.

But since the two went ahead without her knowledge, clearly, they weren’t going to listen to her either, so Shi Nian didn’t bother to argue.

She no longer plans to meet with Emperor Jiang and Qing Yi, but communicated with them only through All-Worlds Communication before embarking on a solitary journey.

When she first arrived in the Immortal World, she was only at the Golden Immortal Stage. It was too dangerous to wander around the Immortal World with such Cultivation, as disasters might strike at any moment.

Hence, she secluded herself in the Lost Land to focus on enhancing her Cultivation.

Now, four years have passed, and her Cultivation has ascended from the initial Golden Immortal Stage to the Peak of the Immortal Emperor.

At the Peak of the Immortal Emperor, she is not only invincible within the Immortal Emperor Realm but can likely compete with most Immortal Venerates. Even if she couldn’t win, with the Sky Escape Technique, she could always escape.

Moreover, she only needs to complete one more advancement mission before she can progress to Immortal Venerate.

By then, she would truly be without peer in the Immortal World.

Now, she is ready to venture through the Immortal World.

Qing Yi and Emperor Jiang almost simultaneously received the farewell message sent by Shi Nian.

Fortunately, Shi Nian made it clear that she would definitely return within five years, and since they could contact each other at any time with All-Worlds Communication, Emperor Jiang and Qing Yi’s spirits weren’t too dampened.

At this moment, following the guidance of Xiao Tong, Shi Nian had already left the Northern Domain.

"Xiao Tong, which direction should we head next?" Shi Nian asked.

The System Mall once used an Eternal Flower, and logically, Xiao Tong should be able to sense its location.

However...

The Cultivation of that person was rather extraordinary. Even for Xiao Tong, the sensing was vague and intermittent, which was very unreliable.

Xiao Tong hesitated a bit, then said, "Host, the sensing has completely disappeared now. I don’t know the location anymore. However, one thing is certain, the Eternal Flower is not in the Northern Domain, and it’s probably very far from here."

Very far?

Shi Nian frowned slightly. The farthest from the Northern Domain should be the Southern Domain.

But since Xiao Tong only mentioned it was far, without specifying the farthest, it was hard to determine the exact location.

"How about you just wander around first, host? I’ll let you know when there’s a new sensation," Xiao Tong suggested.

Shi Nian nodded in agreement.

After practicing the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Technique, she had perfected the control over her aura.

Shi Nian adjusted her aura to the Golden Immortal Realm.

This realm, being most common in the Immortal World, made her inconspicuous as she traveled, fitting her low-profile nature perfectly.

Using the Sky Escape Technique to hasten her travel, Shi Nian’s next destination was the Central Domain.

The Central Domain, situated at the very center, is said to be where the Immortal Emperor of Central State, one of the strongest among the Five Extreme Immortal Emperors, resides.

Shi Nian was also curious about the sudden disappearance of all five of these Immortal Emperors.

Though they were just Immortal Emperors, their Cultivation was profound, having nearly touched the bottleneck of the Immortal Venerate Realm; even ordinary Immortal Venerates were no match for them.

But there came a day when the Five Extreme Immortal Emperor disappeared all at once.

Some Immortal Emperors would occasionally send avatars to check back in, while others simply vanished without a trace.

When she ascended, it was said to be in the Eastern Immortal Domain, a place relatively more orderly because an avatar of the Eastern Immortal Emperor would appear from time to time to maintain order.

But in the Northern Immortal Domain where the Lost Land was located, a bigger problem arose. The Beiji Immortal Emperor, having disappeared along with several other Immortal Emperors, never showed up again. This was why Feiyun could monopolize power and plunge the Northern Domain into chaos.

This Central State Immortal Domain, the situation remains unknown.

And what exactly are these Five Extreme Immortal Emperors up to?

Shi Nian was very curious, having a vague premonition.

Perhaps once this mystery was resolved, she could find the true body of her Junior Sect Uncle.

As Shi Nian pondered, she leisurely made her way to the first city with the strength of a Golden Immortal.

Just as she was about to enter, she was stopped by a guard, who then handed her a jade pendant of dripping blood.

Expressionlessly, the guard said, "Outsiders in Central State may not stay for more than three months. After three months, when the blood in the jade pendant disappears, please leave Central State within one hour or face the consequences."

After speaking so coldly, he stepped aside.

Shi Nian examined the jade pendant, somewhat surprised.

The material of the jade pendant wasn’t good, yet the blood inside it was flowing, which seemed rather eerie.

Outsiders can only stay in Central State for three months?

Shi Nian thought about it and asked, "I wonder how one can settle in Central State?"

The guard glanced at Shi Nian scrutinizingly and said, "To settle down here, you would need a Sect to accept you."

Shi Nian wanted to ask more, but the guard lost patience and suggested she figure it out herself in the city.

The cultivation displayed by Shi Nian was merely at the early stage of Golden Immortal, and these guards had higher cultivation, naturally paying little attention to her.

Shi Nian wasn’t bothered, thanked the guard, and honestly entered the city.

The style of this city in Central State was completely different from that of the Northern Domain.

The Northern Domain was rough and, under Feiyun’s management, chaotic from start to finish.

But the rule here in Central State was incredibly orderly, even to an extent that was hard to comprehend.

Shi Nian noticed that the people here adorned their waists with jade pendants of various colors and patterns, so complex and intricate that it was hard to keep up with.

Moreover.

It seemed that they recognized each other by the jade pendants they wore. Shi Nian even observed that a Golden Immortal wearing a white jade pendant was paying respects to a Heavenly Immortal with a green jade pendant.

This Heavenly Immortal carried an air of entitlement and arrogance.

This was somewhat different from the survival-of-the-fittest Immortal World that Shi Nian was accustomed to, sparking her curiosity.

She ordered a cup of tea at a roadside teahouse and continued her observations while sipping on it.

To survive in Central State, one must first understand what exactly this place is all about.

As Shi Nian silently observed, suddenly, the street got lively.

People suddenly began walking in the same direction.

Muttering something faintly.

Shi Nian followed along and listened to their conversations.
