Who was the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch?


    To the three men, he was the moon in the sky, someone that could not be superseded. Even the four Supreme Thearchs were so important that the three had not even seen any one of them before; what more the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch?


    Who would have thought that Jiang Yi was the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch''s sessor?


    Jiang Yi was actually the most brilliant of minds in human history, the most learned martial arts prodigy… the most powerful Heavenly Thearch''s sessor. If Jiang Yi''s identity was made known, perhaps even Azure Supreme Thearch and the other Supreme Thearchs had to bow and greet him, right?


    Phantom King and Wintry Sovereign finally understood why Earth Emanations Sovereign regarded Jiang Yi so highly and why he had said Jiang Yi was the crux to the human race''s survival.


    Now that the human race''s demise was nigh, they precisely needed someone strong and powerful to lead the human race to resist the Netherworld Race. As the four Supreme Thearchs deigned to submit to each other while the Nine Yang Army and Demon-Killing Army wouldn''t yield to them four—if Jiang Yi was the Heavenly Thearch''s sessor, he could use his status to rally everyone, using the Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon to order everyone to battle!


    Of course…


    This all depended on Jiang Yi having sufficient strength and power. If not, his identity and weapon would only create trouble and doom for himself.


    "Phantom King, are you going or not?"


    Earth Emanations Sovereign''s voice shattered the silence. "If you don''t go—when your grandson bes the ruler of this world, he might not even acknowledge you even if you acknowledged him."


    Phantom King''s eyes glistened as he stared at Earth Emanations Sovereign and asked, "Earth Emanations Sovereign, are you sure you''re not lying to me?"


    "Go if you want; I can''t care less anymore!"


    Earth Emanations Sovereign did not waste his breath as he immediately deactivated the castle''s restrictions and left briskly. Simrly, Wintry Sovereign did not hesitate and left at the same time. Phantom King gritted his teeth and shouted, "Yi Tu, scram in here!"


    Swish!


    Yi Tu flew in as Phantom King hurriedly instructed him. "I am making a trip to the Heaven Domain; when I am not around, you will be the Yi n Head. If I am not able to return, you will lead the Yi n. If something bad happens, act ording to our contingency n."


    "Majesty Father!"


    Yi Tu grew anxious as Phantom King roared, "Do not ask so many questions. Also, keep Piaopiao in the Saint Prison. She is not to know about anything happening outside."


    Swish!


    After speaking, Phantom King''s body shed as he headed out. He asked Earth Emanations Sovereign and Wintry Sovereign, "Do you guys need to make any more arrangements? If not, let''s teleport to the Chaos Sea."


    "Let''s go!"


    They have made all the necessary arrangements. Wintry Sovereign looked at Qi Qingchen for a moment as the three immediately rushed into one of the Yi n castles. Soon, a beam of light shed as the three were teleported to the Chaos Sea.


    "Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch, if you can hear me, please protect your citizens…"


    Qi Qingchen''s expression wasplicated as she prayed towards that beam of light in the sky. Yi Tu, Yi Buhui, andpany stood nkly, watching that pir of light. They had all guessed what the three were going to do.


    Heaven Domain!


    For the people from the Earth Domain, that was a very dangerous ce; they could easily lose their lives. Whether the three Sovereigns could return from the Heaven Domain depended on heaven''s will.


    …


    The three teleported to the Ethereal Spirit Ind. Ten King-Ranked guards were on the ind. Phantom King andpany thought that these King-Ranked guards would be trouble. However, after they indicated they were going to enlist in the Heaven Domain, no more questions were asked. The Teleportation Formation was immediately activated for them.


    The trio didn''t bother gathering news in the Chaos Sea. Since the Teleportation Formation had been activated, they didn''t think anymore and decided to head to the Heaven Domain first.


    After teleporting for more than twenty hours, the three finally appeared within a Teleportation Formation in the Nine Yang City. The trio''s auras were very strong and immediately attracted the attention of many guards near the Teleportation Formations. One Senior Commander looked over and asked, "Who are you three? Are you from the Earth Domain?"


    Although this was the Heaven Domain, it wasn''t the Phantom King''s first visit; he had previously been a Great General Lord in the Crazed Supreme Thearch Army. Although this Senior Commander was also King-Ranked, he was far weaker than Phantom King. Phantom King took out amand token and tossed it over, keeping mum and standing upright.


    "Oh? It is General Yi Hu!"


    Phantom King''smand token was the one he had when he was still in the Crazed Supreme Thearch Army. Although heter went back to the Earth Domain, he still kept his identitymand token. That Senior Commander inspected themand token and waspletely at ease now; he didn''t even bother checking Earth Emanations Sovereign and Wintry Sovereign''s identity. He cupped his hands and said, "What do you intend to do in the Heaven Domain this time, General Yi? If you wish to join the Nine Yang Army, I can report to amander-in-chief and immediately give you the best honors and treatment."


    "I''m so old; there''s no point for me to enlist. I hade this time just to take a spin."


    Phantom King casually cupped his hands and brought Earth Emanations Sovereign and Wintry Sovereign to an inn. The Senior Commander didn''t mind Phantom King at all. Some old folks from the Minor Chiliocosm would asionallye to the Heaven Domain; that was very normal.


    "Phantom King, why don''t we join the Nine Yang Army? If we do, won''t it be easier to get information?" After entering the inn, Wintry Sovereign immediately asked.


    "Hur-hur!"


    Phantom King grimaced as he said, "I am from the Crazed Supreme Thearch Army; although I have retired, I used to be someone of repute. How could I casually join the Nine Yang Army?"


    Phantom King paused as he then continued, "In any case, if I''m in the Nine Yang Army, it might be harder for me to gather news. There are still a few people from the Phantom Race within the Nine Yang Army; I can summon them to ask for information anytime."


    "Yes…"


    Earth Emanations Sovereign nodded in assent. Since they were not intending to enlist—if they did, it would be hard for them to withdrawter on. Since Phantom King could gather information easily, why was there a need to join the Nine Yang Army?


    Buzz!


    Phantom King took out a whitemand token as he injected heavenly powers into it. He closed his eyes to concentrate on it. Five minutester, he opened his eyes and said, "Alright, there is someone from the Phantom Race in the city; he will be here shortly."


    "Awesome!"


    Earth Emanations Sovereign raised his thumb in praise; he was really impressed. The Phantom Race nsmen were natural scouts and were weed everywhere. The Phantom Race''s disciples were everywhere in the world; every Heaven Domain faction had some. As the n King, Phantom King could conveniently summon anyone of them as and when he liked.


    The three waited patiently. After a mere fifteen minutes, the restrictions outside lit up. Earth Emanations Sovereign deactivated the restrictions as a wisp of wind floated in and congealed into a person. He genuflected and greeted, "Yi Ku pays his respects to n King and to my Lords."


    "Yi Ku?" Phantom King frowned as he couldn''t seem to ce this man. "Which lineage are you from?"


    Yi Ku reported, "Replying n King, I am from the fifth branch lineage; my eldest grandfather is Yi Xiang."


    "Oh, oh, you''re from Yi Xiang''s branch." Phantom King nodded slightly. Yi Xiang was a very important elder in the n. After ascertaining this person''s identity, Phantom King waited for Earth Emanations Sovereign to reactivate the restrictions as he asked, "Do you have news of Jiang Yi?"


    "Jiang Yi?"


    Yi Ku frowned as he thought for a moment and said, "News about Jiang Yi has been sealed; however, it shouldn''t be a problem finding out some stuff."


    "Sealed?" Earth Emanations Sovereign and Wintry Sovereign exchanged a nce. Could Qi Qingchen have guessed correctly?


    Phantom King thought for a moment and said, "I heard a rumor that Jiang Yi is trapped in Longtan Mystic Realm; have you heard of anything rted to this?"


    "Yes!"


    Yi Ku said very firmly. "That fateful day, Young Mistress Yun Bing had returned hurriedly. Following that, Heavenly King Yun himself headed out. It seemed as if their mission had gone wrong, and the Flying Feather Army had suffered heavy losses. If Jiang Yi hadn''t lent a hand, Young Mistress Yun Bing herself would have died…"


    "En?"


    The three old men looked at each other, slightly believing what they were hearing. This was, after all, Jiang Yi''s way of doing things. Phantom King gestured and said, "Go and investigate and ascertain if Jiang Yi really is in the Longtan Mystic Realm. Gather everything you can find."


    Yi Ku hurriedly retreated and floated out of the inn before his body formed once more. A cold sneer appeared on his face. He used a voice only he could hear as he murmured, "Old Thing, if you do not die, how is my eldest grandfather supposed to take the throne?"
