Amidst the blazing flas, a figure as ethereal as the wind, difficult to take form, slowly beca more solid under the terrifying and powerful aura of the Taiyin Emperor.
The shape that materialized was none other than Baili An.
This intangible spectral form, drifting in the firelight, appeared gloomy, as fragile as glass.
One might feel that if the fire were any fiercer, the swirling gale could easily scatter his soul.
In just a few days, from heaven to earth.
Capable of gathering his shattered spirit, scattered like countless grains of sand across the universe, into its current form and successfully reshaping the Divine Sense.
In the Six Realms, only the Netherworld Lord, who rules over billions of yin spirits, possesses such heaven-reaching abilities.
Baili An looked at the handso man standing before him with a broad yet soft aura, nodding slightly, exuding both severity and kindness.
In the crackling firelight, that face, exuding heroic spirit, bore an awe-commanding authority that one could hardly et directly, its pupils shimring with deep light, resembling the eyes of a solitary eagle in a frozen desert.
The man standing before the swaying, burning netherworld fire differed from the leaders of the Three Sects of the Heavenly Dao.
And unlike the Tianxi Thirteen Swords, worshipped by the Hundred Immortal Sects, the Cangwu Ten Hidden Palaces, or the Taixuan Nine Classics.
Between n and immortals, the difference was as between heaven and earth.
Yet the gap between him and the venerated Venerable Immortal, worshipped by all, was not rely a cornerstone of heaven and earth.
He was the absolute superior among the Six Realms, encompassing the vast earth, boundless Nine Heavens, and misty Nine Nethers, existing rely in legendary tales as one of the Four Saints.
Facing this exalted immortal emperor unmatchable even by the celestials and deities of All Heavens, Baili An felt as though a lifeti had passed, softly calling out: "Grandfather..."
The Taiyin Emperor raised his eyes slightly, and the icy emotion in them seed to soften at the call of ’Grandfather.’
He turned back to the two endlessly abundant trees planted within the nether soil of the imperial platform.
These trees, once nourished by myriad herbs and spiritual essence, nurtured by Houtu, matured in the long netherworld, are of unparalleled value.
A tree grows an inch every thousand years, and each inch bears a spiritual mushroom, a supre spiritual object of heaven and earth.
And now, each of these two endless abundant trees in the hand of the Taiyin Emperor was nine inches long, boasting a history of nine thousand years.
Throughout the Six Realms, even in the imperial treasury of the Upper Pure Immortal Realm, such an item might be unattainable.
For such exceedingly rare spiritual objects, the Taiyin Emperor didn’t even blink.
Casually tossing them into the netherworld fire altar as if throwing firewood into a commoner’s hearth.
The cold, burning bright blue flas shot up several zhang high, the endlessly abundant trees consud by the netherworld fire turned into threads of the most pure Immortal Energy, flowing into Baili An’s spirit platform.
The two nine-inch-long spiritual trees astonishingly burned out a vast ocean-like montum.
Baili An’s ethereal soul form solidified with an observable speed, becoming more stable.
The outline of the Divine Mansion gradually appeared between his brows.
"A bunch of troubleso little things!"
The Taiyin Emperor snorted coldly, his tone sounding like an annoyed elder disappointed with uncooperative juniors:
"Your mother was like this, and so are you! Baili Yu of the Xijian Sect is not overly capable, yet he happens to be the Evil Star of my fate, causing both my daughter and grandson to be utterly destroyed by him!"
After two hundred years, Baili An didn’t expect Grandfather to still dislike Father so much. He shyly touched his nose and said, "Grandfather, if I rember correctly, wasn’t the Ghost King’s Heart you left on Bai Tuo Mountain?"
The Taiyin Emperor’s eyelid flickered as he angrily slapped the table.
"You impudent brat, Baili Yu that beast hard my beloved, so what if I threw a lamp on his mountain to quash his fate!
Although I have long disliked Ying Xiu and had intentions to destroy him,
yet his fate prevailed, recreating him in your likeness from life.
Just facing that face, your mother protected him like a treasure.
Who would’ve foreseen that he could use the Ghost King Lamp to turn the Mortal World upside down!"
Witnessing his grandfather’s significant anger over these two hundred years,
upon eting, grievances erupted like rapid arrows without pause.
Even though arbitrarily tossing that Ghost King Lamp into the Mortal World and ignoring it seed absurd,
how could the Taiyin Emperor admit it was wrong to discipline Baili Yu over this matter.
He laughed coldly, speaking with a frigid voice: "If it didn’t cause you tribulation in the end, it might as well be said Ying Xiu did a splendid job in venting one’s anger.
The Mortal World’s crowd of gutter worms and ants I have long found displeasing, by his antics, the army of a million cannibals cleared the Mortal World, upon reclaiming the Ghost King Lamp, exterminating the entire cannibal race, won’t the Mortal World be pristine and pleasant to the eye?"
If it were anyone else, they would consider this as venting in anger.
But Baili An understood that he was serious.
The Taiyin Emperor was a stubborn character who integrated love and hate thoroughly.
If he loved soone, he would overprotect them irrationally, ignoring reason.
If he bore a grudge against soone, no amount of kowtowing or sincere repentance would sway him.
Mortal kings wielding power might obliterate nine generations of grave sinners,
but to him, it would an grudging your entire clan, even the big yellow dog guarding the back gate.
Petty and vengeful described him well.
When the Taiyin Emperor disliked soone, reasoning or pleading further wouldn’t matter, nor would appeals to the innocence of the world, the people, or the mortals.
The joys and sorrows of all things in the world never aligned, for the Taiyin Emperor is the deity presiding over the life and death of all beings.
