Wu Shattered Star River

The reason Jiang Han was so eager to inquire about Jiang Hen Shui's whereabouts was that his identity had been exposed, which meant his possession of the Illusory Void Blade might also be revealed.

However, his identity would be exposed sooner or later. After all, he had caused quite a stir in the God-Demon Battlefield. Anyone who put their mind to it could find out everything.

Therefore, he had to quickly figure out the relationship between Qingyun Celestial Emperor and Jiang Hen Shui!

He wanted to meet Qingyun Celestial Emperor for two reasons: first, to inquire about Jiang Hen Shui's whereabouts, and second, to seek Qingyun Celestial Emperor's protection.

Qingluan had a straightforward personality and was clearly not the type to be deeply scheming. So Jiang Han wanted to ask her a few questions to get a sense of things before asking her to take him to see Qingyun Celestial Emperor.

Based on feedback from various sources, he guessed that Qingyun Celestial Emperor should be a strong figure from his father's faction, or at least not an enemy.

Qingluan frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know. My father never mentioned it. However… he greatly admired and respected the Eastern Celestial Emperor. My father used to be a general under Qing Emperor, so he should know the Eastern Celestial Emperor."

"Good!"

Jiang Han, Yu Xi, and Immortal Reverent Wuyun exchanged glances, joy visible in their eyes. Since Qingyun Celestial Emperor used to be part of Qing Emperor's faction, then he was one of their own.

Jiang Han didn't hide anything and cupped his fist. "Miss Qingluan, actually, I've been hiding something from you. My father is the Eastern Celestial Emperor."

"Ah?"

Qingluan was stunned. Her big eyes blinked, and she said with a face full of surprise, "You're actually the Eastern Celestial Emperor's son? No wonder… you wanted to kill the Jade Emperor's grandson. The Eastern Celestial Emperor is said to be listed as a rebel by the Heavenly Court and is secretly being hunted down."

"Yes!"

Jiang Han nodded and made a request. "Miss Qingluan, could you arrange for me to meet Qingyun Celestial Emperor? I want to ask him about my father's whereabouts. I came to the Ancient God Star Region to find my father."

"I can!"

Qingluan replied without hesitation, but then quickly shook her head. "My father isn't in Rakshasa Realm. He went to the Ancient God Cemetery."

"Uh?"

Jiang Han was taken aback. Was his luck really that bad? The situation in Rakshasa Realm was so chaotic, with a great war likely to break out at any moment. What was Qingyun Celestial Emperor doing in the Ancient God Cemetery?

Qingluan explained, "There are three powerful Human Celestial Emperors in the Ancient God Cemetery in seclusion. My father was worried that the situation in Rakshasa Realm would worsen, so he went in to invite the three of them out to help guard the place."

"I see!"

Jiang Han suddenly understood and asked, "When will your father come out?"

"Soon, I think?"

Qingluan thought for a moment and said, "He left half a month ago. I guess he'll be back in a month at most. When I get the news, I'll take you to see my father immediately."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han nodded. Qingluan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Since you're the son of Lord Eastern, then joining my Qingluan Army wouldn't be appropriate. Of course… if you want to join, we're very welcome."

"Sure!"

Jiang Han grinned and said, "All three of us will join the Qingluan Army. We'll follow Miss Qingluan from now on. Miss Qingluan has to protect us in the future."

"Hehe! No problem!"

Qingluan immediately became happy, her eyebrows and eyes full of smiles. She didn't have the slightest bit of the majesty of a Celestial King powerhouse, and looked like an innocent and willful young lady.

Jiang Han asked curiously, "Miss Qingluan, how old are you this year? How did you cultivate so quickly?"

"Your talent completely surpasses the top of the Hidden Dragon List in the Heavenly Court. Looking at the entire Human race, your talent is probably a rare genius that appears only once every hundreds of thousands of years."

"Haha!"

Qingluan raised her head somewhat smugly, revealing her snow-white neck. She waved her hand and said, "My talent is passable, I guess. Of course… it's definitely several times stronger than those trash in the Heavenly Court."

"Well… the reason I was able to break through to Celestial King was actually because I obtained a heaven-defying opportunity. My father took me into the Ancient God Cemetery, and I accidentally obtained the inheritance of a powerful Ancient God, which is why my cultivation has been so rapid."

"The inheritance of an Ancient God?"

Jiang Han and the other two suddenly understood. The Ancient God race was already a heaven-defying existence. Back then, the Ancient God race swept through all races and suppressed an era.

Ancient Gods were already very powerful existences. Qingluan being able to obtain the inheritance of a powerful Ancient God, coupled with her own strong talent, made it only natural that her cultivation was so fast.

Qingluan saw the envious looks of the three and said somewhat smugly, "My father also obtained a portion of the inheritance back then, which allowed him to break through to Celestial Emperor. But I obtained the complete inheritance. My father said that my chances of breaking through to Celestial Emperor in the future are as high as eighty percent!"

"Amazing!"

Yu Xi gave a thumbs up and said, "It seems that it won't be long before we have to change our address and call you Celestial Emperor Qingluan."

"Tsk tsk, breaking through to Celestial Emperor before the age of one hundred. Miss Qingluan's talent is unprecedented and unmatched in the history of the Human race, right? I'm afraid only Qing Emperor and Jade Emperor can slightly surpass you."

"How can it be so exaggerated?"

Qingluan was a little embarrassed by the praise. She paused for a moment, and a cold light appeared in her eyes. "My biggest wish in this life is to unify the Ancient God Star Region, and then lead all the powerhouses here to kill the Heavenly Court. I will kill the Jade Emperor and avenge the tens of thousands of clansmen who died in my Qing family's name!"

"Um…"

Jiang Han and the other two exchanged glances. The three only knew that Qingyun Celestial Emperor was chased and killed back then, and was forced to come to the Ancient God Star Region. They didn't expect that the Qing family clan was slaughtered by the Jade Emperor?

No wonder Qingluan bowed twice to Jiang Han for killing the Jade Emperor's grandson.

… …

"Are you sure?"

While Jiang Han and the others were chatting enthusiastically, in another luxurious courtyard, Celestial King Bai Jie was questioning Bai Xue and her friend Liu Fei.

Celestial King Bai Jie originally wanted to inquire about Jiang Han's specific situation, but she didn't expect to receive an unexpected piece of news—Jiang Han had obtained the Illusory Void Blade.

"Absolutely true!"

Liu Fei happened to be in the Heavenly Court some time ago, and later secretly entered the God-Demon Battlefield, inquiring about a lot of news.

She said, "Jiang Han is a Pseudo Immortal. He is a body cultivator. He has only been in the Upper Realm for a few years. The reason he was able to kill Fourth Prince and Xing Gu and the others was because of the Illusory Void Blade. Also… he can tame Immortal Beasts. He has two Rank Four Immortal Beasts."

"The Illusory Void Blade!"

Celestial King Bai Jie's eyes were burning with passion. She murmured, "That is the fourth-ranked existence on the Divine Artifact Immortal Artifact List. There are even rumors that this Primordial Treasure should be ranked second, second only to the sword in the Jade Emperor's hand."

Bai Xue's eyes lit up and said, "Mother, should we report this matter to Great-Grandmother? If Great-Grandmother can obtain this blade, her combat power will definitely skyrocket, and the crisis facing our White Egret Mountain will be easily resolved."

Celestial King Bai Jie was somewhat tempted. Liu Fei hesitated at this moment and said, "A rumor is circulating in the God-Demon Battlefield. I don't know if it's true or false. This news should have been blocked, and many people don't know the inside story."

Celestial King Bai Jie asked, "What news?"

Liu Fei said, "It is said that… Jiang Han is the son of Eastern Celestial Emperor Jiang Hen Shui. He released the Bloodline of the God of War when he escaped from the God-Demon Battlefield. Many soldiers witnessed it with their own eyes."

"What?"

Celestial King Bai Jie's expression changed drastically. Bai Xue's eyes narrowed slightly, and she exclaimed, "The son of the Eastern Celestial Emperor? Then we can't mess around. Otherwise, if we anger the Eastern Celestial Emperor, even Great-Grandmother will die."

"How could the Eastern Celestial Emperor have such a young son?" Bai Jie turned her gaze to Liu Fei and asked, "Is this news certain?"

"Not very certain!"

Liu Fei said, "It's just a rumor. However, the previous point can be confirmed—the Illusory Void Blade is indeed in Jiang Han's hands."

"Investigate!"

Celestial King Bai Jie waved her hand and said, "Bai Xue, arrange for it to go down and mobilize all our forces outside to find out the truth of these two pieces of news."

"Okay!"

Bai Xue took Liu Fei down. Celestial King Bai Jie paced back and forth in the room, her expression constantly changing from pale to blue.

After a moment, she turned her gaze to the courtyard where Jiang Han lived and murmured, "Jiang Han, you must not be Jiang Hen Shui's son. The Illusory Void Blade… that is the Illusory Void Blade. If Great-Aunt could possess this blade, her combat power would probably be comparable to the Ten Directions Celestial Emperors, right?"
