The next moment, they disappeared from their original spot and appeared near the Kunlun Sky Light.
Above their heads was a bright, dazzling white halo.
Looking down, all I could see was a vast expanse of white; I couldn't see the ground at all.
At this moment, they should be on the edge of the human world.
Just then, countless rays of light spread out from above, like a waterfall of a woman's beautiful hair, cascading freely across the sky and illuminating Li Yao and Xiao Bai's faces.
A solemn and dignified figure slowly emerged from a beam of dark yellow light.
A woman dressed in a pale yellow Taoist robe, resplendent in gold and jade, with an exquisitely beautiful face, exuded a sacred and majestic aura, like a goddess, making people dare not look directly at her.
Who is this woman?
Li Yao frowned slightly, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Could she be...?"
"Who are you? Why do you trespass into the Kunlun Heavenly Light?"
The woman looked at Li Yao and Xiao Bai expressionlessly and asked indifferently.
Although his tone was calm, it exuded an air of authority that made it hard to breathe.
However, neither Li Yao nor Xiao Bai were ordinary people, and they remained unmoved by the woman's imposing aura.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden!"
Li Yao did not answer the other party's question, but instead asked a question in return.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, daughter of the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, possesses immense spiritual power. In the entire divine realm, only a handful of great gods, such as Zhurong, Houtu, and Yujiang, can compare to her.
She, along with Kuiyu Xuan Nu (Long Kui is actually Kuiyu's transformation from Fei Peng) and Xi Yao, are known as the three great goddesses of the divine realm, holding high positions and great power.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden appeared in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4".
She is the goddess worshipped by the Kunlun Qionghua Sect for generations, and once instructed the Qionghua Sect's ancestor in the "Man and Sword as One" sword technique in a dream.
Later, at the final moment of Qionghua's ascension, she reappeared and prevented Xuanxiao and Suyao from ascending to immortality.
She also warned everyone that if you want to cultivate immortality, you must first cultivate humanity, which made Su Yao realize her mistakes and reduce her punishment by five hundred years.
Finally, she cast the disciples of Qionghua into the East Sea whirlpool.
"Now that you have guessed my identity, you should know that this is not a place for you."
"I urge you to leave immediately to avoid suffering any undeserved calamity!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's face was devoid of any emotion, and her tone was icy cold.
"Hunter Yunyuan, do you still remember me?"
Li Yao ignored the intimidation from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and calmly uttered the name 'Yun Yuan'.
This Yun Yuan is actually an ancestor of Yun Tianhe.
Who are you?
How did you come to know Yun Yuan?
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could no longer remain calm.
She never expected to hear the name 'Yun Yuan' again after so long.
"Yun Yuan was just a hunter among the human race with extremely poor archery skills and an ordinary appearance, but he never expected to meet a noble Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in the Milky Way."
"Yun Yuan fell deeply in love with you at first sight!"
He pursued you shamelessly, but you, out of loneliness, treated him like a plaything.
"Little did they know that the feelings between men and women are the most mysterious thing in the world."
"You toyed with Yun Yuan as if it were a game, but you didn't know that it was the most dangerous game you had ever played in your life."
"You may appear indifferent to Yun Yuan on the surface, but you have already fallen for him in your heart."
"In order to give you a reason to love him, Yun Yuan bound himself to the 'Stardust Ruler' in the middle of the Milky Way, waiting for you to come and rescue him."
“However, Fuxi trapped you, so you ordered Lingxiaozi to go and rescue Yunyuan.”
"Unfortunately, three days passed, and Ling Xiaozi did not obey the order to go. Yun Yuan eventually died."
Li Yao calmly recounted the past between the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Yun Yuan.
The love story between the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Yun Yuan is enough to surpass any famous classic love legend in later generations.
Unfortunately, Fuxi had already established heavenly laws, strictly prohibiting the gods from intermarrying and procreating.
Moreover, Yun Yuan is just a mortal human.
Fuxi would never agree to let his beloved daughter marry a mortal.
Therefore, the love between Jiutian Xuannv and Yunyuan was destined to end in tragedy.
Chapter 572 Entering the Realm of Gods
"How...how do you know all this?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's expression changed drastically, and she was no longer calm as before.
Her relationship with Yun Yuan occurred before the ancient war between the three races, tens of thousands of years ago.
Moreover, besides herself, only a few people, including Yun Yuan, Ling Xiao Zi, and the Heavenly Emperor, knew about this at the time.
Yun Yuan is dead, and Ling Xiao Zi unfortunately died in the war between the three races.
The Heavenly Emperor Fuxi could not possibly tell anyone about this.
She never expected that anyone would know about this.
Who exactly is this young man in front of me?
How did you find out about this?
"The moment you held Yun Yuan's cold body in your hands, your heart died!"
"As the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, you truly deserve to have inherited Fuxi's bloodline!"
"After that night, you completely forgot the bone-chilling despair and sorrow on the Tianhe Plateau."
"Then, you will rule over all the gods and conquer the three races, forever only showing your divine might as a prison."
“Through your own actions, you have repeatedly proclaimed your father’s commandment to the gods: humans and gods should not be entangled, and the way of the gods should not be sought.”
"How pathetic, how lamentable!"
"I really feel sorry for Yun Yuan. He believed until his death that you would definitely come to save him!"
"Even though you are trapped by your father and therefore unable to go and rescue him."
"However, Yun Yuan hasn't left much of a mark on your heart..."
Li Yao said with a mocking expression.
"Hmph, you're right, I have never loved Yun Yuan!"
"He was just a mortal."
"One should not be attached to gods or humans, nor should one try to fathom the divine path!"
"He, a mere mortal, dares to presume to be with me! How naive and laughable!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden snorted coldly, her face returning to its perpetually icy and unyielding expression.
Immediately, her gaze turned cold, and she said in a chilling tone, "You have trespassed into the Kunlun Heavenly Light, committing a grave crime that is unforgivable!"
Before she finished speaking, she gestured with her slender hand, and a beam of light swept towards Li Yao, like an inverted rainbow, filled with destructive energy.
Whoosh!
The rosy light almost brushed past Li Yao's body, appearing incredibly soft, yet it was like an incomparably sharp divine sword, tearing the void apart.
Buzz!
Another ray of light swept towards Li Yao.
But this time, Li Yao did not dodge. Instead, he threw a punch that shattered the radiant light.
The magical energy surged out in all directions, directly shattering the surrounding void.
"No wonder he was able to get close to Kunlun Heavenly Light, he does have some skill!"
A chill ran down his spine, and he abandoned his previous contempt. With a flick of his right hand, a divine blade appeared in his grasp, which he slashed at Li Yao in mid-air.
Whoosh!
The incredibly sharp blade light contained boundless magical power and emitted a dazzling glow.
Divine light blazed brightly, soaring into the sky, and an unparalleled pressure surged forth, as if a vast ocean had submerged the entire world. Then, the world fell silent, and sound and time seemed to be frozen.
"What an amazing weapon!"
Li Yao's eyes lit up.
At the same time, a cloud of black mist rose up in front of him.
The blade's edge arrived in an instant, disappearing into the endless black mist.
"impossible!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's beautiful eyes narrowed suddenly, filled with disbelief.
The next moment, she felt a chill run down her spine.
"Oh no, it's a spatial ability!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden reacted immediately, dodging the blade she had unleashed.
Just as she dodged, she felt a powerful suction force, and the divine blade in her hand slipped out of her grasp.
"Sorry, your Heavenly Profound Divine Blade is now mine. Consider it a small punishment for you attacking me!"
In the void, only Li Yao's voice remained, while Li Yao and Xiao Bai had long since disappeared.
"Who exactly are you?"
