184: Chapter 184 Half-Step Earth Immortal, Celestial Realm Anomaly

On the surface of the sea, a gentle breeze blew, rustling the magnificent skirts of Empress Hai Ling and the others.

Xu Que was preparing to take them to the inner area where the Immortal Spirit Qi was more concentrated, when suddenly, one of the Nine Great Elders—a woman dressed in fiery red palace attire with a fiery temperament and an equally fiery figure—stepped out.

"Xu Que, although we have entered your world, that does not mean we will become your women."

"Indeed. If you have such sordid thoughts, I advise you to dispel them as soon as possible. Otherwise, we would rather perish than submit." Another elder echoed coldly.

Seveline, one of the six sisters of Selina, also mustered up her courage, stood beside the Nine Great Elders, and added, "That's right, we will not be your women."

For a moment, the atmosphere became tense and ready to snap.

Although the Yaksha King and Director Lan Xiyao did not speak, their tightly furrowed brows clearly indicated their stance.

Xu Que looked at the group of indignant beauties before him and, instead of getting angry, laughed.

His gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Empress Hai Ling, who was at the lead.

"Since things have reached this point, I will no longer hide my intentions."

The smile on Xu Que's face gradually faded.

"All of you must become my women and bear my offspring."

"Only in this way can I have absolute certainty in bringing all of you through this alive."

"Otherwise... everything you are doing will be meaningless, and sooner or later, we will all die together beneath the Gate of Ascension!"

His voice was not loud, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

"You are dreaming!"

"Arrogant!"

The Nine Great Elders were immediately furious, and their powerful auras erupted uncontrollably, churning the surrounding seawater.

However, at this moment, High Priest Hai Ming, who had been silent all along, suddenly nodded gently.

"I agree."

These three simple words were like a stabilizing needle, instantly freezing the heated atmosphere.

The Nine Great Elders, the Yaksha King, Director Lan Xiyao, and even Empress Hai Ling looked at her in astonishment.

"High Priest, you..."

High Priest Hai Ming did not explain; she simply looked back at everyone calmly with those eyes that seemed capable of perceiving eternity.

Her attitude caused a trace of wavering in the hearts of those who had been firmly opposed.

They might not believe in Xu Que, but they could not ignore the High Priest's prophecy.

Could it be that they were destined to become Xu Que's women...

Seeing this, the corners of Xu Que's mouth curled up again.

"Let's go. We will return to the inner area first, and we can discuss this matter later."

With that, he waved his arm, and a gentle force enveloped everyone.

Empress Hai Ling and the others hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not resist, disappearing from the sea surface along with Xu Que.

...

Central Area.

When Empress Hai Ling and the others reappeared, they were instantly stunned by the dense Immortal Spirit Qi before them.

By the Spirit Spring Pool, immortal mist swirled, and beneath the enlightenment tree, the aura of the Dao was naturally formed.

Lin Yutong, Bai Mengjie, Supreme Elder Qing Ni, Sect Mistress Yu Wuqing, and the other women were already waiting there.

When they saw that Xu Que had brought back another dozen or so stunning women, each with peerless beauty and distinct temperaments, the only thing the women felt, besides helplessness, was more helplessness.

Their man could always bring back a group of sisters every time he went out.

When would it ever end? It was truly worrisome!

"Husband, are these the sisters from the Sea God Palace?" As Xu Que's first woman, Lin Yutong took the initiative to step forward and greet them with a smile.

"Tongtong, come, let me introduce you all."

Xu Que smiled and introduced both sides to each other.

After some simple pleasantries, Empress Hai Ling and the others felt complicated emotions.

They could feel the friendliness from Supreme Elder Qing Ni, Sect Mistress Yu Wuqing, and the others, and the way they looked at Xu Que was filled with love.

This caused their originally firm hearts to waver once again.

Perhaps, becoming his woman was not as unacceptable as they had imagined?

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Xu Que's gaze fell on Seveline, who had been the most vocal earlier.

This little mermaid had given him quite a hard time back at the Sea Patrol Division.

"Seveline, come with me for a moment."

Xu Que's voice was not loud, but it made Seveline's delicate body tremble.

"I... I won't go!"

However, before she could finish speaking, she felt an irresistible force envelop her, and in the next second, she disappeared from the spot along with Xu Que.

Beneath the willow tree by the pond, on the huge and flat Taihu Stone.

The most sacred place of the Xu Family.

On the red carpet, Seveline discovered in horror that she could not move at all; she could only watch helplessly as that detestable man lunged at her with a wicked grin.

"You... what are you trying to do?!"

"What am I trying to do? Hehehe... what do you think I want to... do!"

In Seveline's eyes, Xu Que's smile was no different from that of a demon.

With a "rip" sound, the beautiful gauze dress on her body tore apart.

...

Meanwhile. Outside, in the Endless Sea.

The territory that originally belonged to the Sea God Palace was now deathly silent.

Suddenly, space fluctuated violently, and four teams exuding terrifying auras tore through the void from four directions and descended upon this place.

In the east, surrounded by countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, stood the Lord of the Dragon Palace, the Dragon Emperor, wearing an imperial crown and a dragon robe.

In the west, atop a massive whale that blocked out the sky, the Ocean-Covering Dragon Whale King of the Abyssal Whale Royal Court stood with hands behind his back, his gaze disdainful.

In the south, shrouded in black mist, with thousands of withered bones surrounding a throne of white bones, the Lord of Eternal Silence of the Nether Bone Domain sat silently, black flames flickering in his hollow eye sockets.

In the north, aboard a treasure ship refined from a giant conch, the Thousand-Faced God of Wealth Luo Zhouweng of the Myriad Demon Chamber of Commerce stroked his beard with a chuckle, though his eyes flashed with sharp light.

The four overlords of the Endless Sea, four Half-Step Earth Immortal powerhouses, all had ashen faces at this moment.

"The Sea God Palace... actually ran away on its own!" The Dragon Emperor's voice was like ice, containing endless rage.

"The secret agent I planted in the Sea God Palace sent back news that Empress Hai Ling was preparing to relocate her entire clan to a human's Small World. I thought it was a joke!" The voice of the Ocean-Covering Dragon Whale King was as deep as thunder.

"Hmph, not even a trace of aura was left behind. What kind of human did that woman, Hai Ling, find?" The voice of the Lord of Eternal Silence was dry and grating.

The Thousand-Faced God of Wealth Luo Zhouweng put away his smile and said gravely, "To be able to empty the entire Sea God Palace within an hour or two without leaving any traces... this human is not simple!"

They had rushed over the moment they received the news, but they were still a step too late.

The disappearance of the Sea God Palace was like a loud slap, struck hard across the faces of the four overlords.

Just as the four were talking, four streams of light streaked across the sky and instantly appeared before the Dragon Emperor and the others.

The newcomers were four cultivators at the Mahayana stage, the eyes and ears planted by the four major powers in the Heavenly Domain Continent.

"Reporting to the Dragon Emperor, something major has happened in the Heavenly Domain Continent!"

"Reporting to my King, there is an anomaly in the Heavenly Domain!"

The four Mahayana cultivators spoke almost simultaneously, their tones filled with shock and unease.

"What is the cause for such panic?" The Dragon Emperor frowned.

The Mahayana cultivator from the Dragon Palace swallowed hard and said tremblingly, "Reporting to the Dragon Emperor, just an hour ago, eight huge black holes appeared without warning in the sky above the Heavenly Domain Continent!"

"Inside those holes, there is extremely violent destructive energy; any living being that approaches will be instantly shredded! However... however, from those holes, strands of extremely pure Immortal Spirit Qi are leaking out!"

"What?!"

Once these words were spoken, the four overlords—the Dragon Emperor, the Ocean-Covering Dragon Whale King, the Lord of Eternal Silence, and the Thousand-Faced God of Wealth Luo Zhouweng—all had their expressions change drastically.

They looked at each other and saw undisguised shock and horror in each other's eyes.

Black holes? Destructive energy? Immortal Spirit Qi?

These words, when combined, instantly reminded them of the tragedy that had occurred at the Heavenly Roc Holy Mountain not long ago!

Could it be... the passage to the Immortal World?

"Damn it! There is no time to worry about the Sea God Palace. People of the Dragon Palace, follow me!" The Dragon Emperor roared.

Compared to entering the Immortal World, the disappearance of the Sea God Palace had become unimportant.

"Go! To the Heavenly Domain Continent!"

The Ocean-Covering Dragon Whale King made an immediate decision.

The next moment, the four overlords no longer cared about their grievances with each other; they led their respective subordinates and transformed into four streaks of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, rushing frantically toward the direction of the Heavenly Domain Continent.
