Chapter 1127: "Flaw"

The independent mystic realm naturally collapsed and would not normally have affected the outside world. However, the destruction of the Phantom Sea Ancient Well was too devastating. At the moment of its annihilation, it stirred up an incredibly violent spatial turbulence, tearing open hundreds of spatial rifts and instantly swallowing Phantom Sea Island.

The Three-Star Realm disciples guarding Phantom Sea Island had no time to react and were swallowed by the spatial rifts, disappearing from the world along with Phantom Sea Island.

The originally calm sea surface surged wildly towards the vanished Phantom Sea Island, pulled by the spatial turbulence. For hundreds of miles around, chaotic whirlpools inexplicably formed, and towering waves rose without any wind.

News of the Emperor Immortal Grass's aura appearing on Phantom Sea Island had long spread. By this point, a large number of powerful individuals from nearby star realms were arriving from all directions across the sea. Many of them were from middle-tier star realms.

The inexplicably rising huge waves startled everyone. But before they could investigate further, their expressions all drastically changed. Their bodies, which had been flying at full speed, came to a dead halt, daring not to advance another step.

Because the world ahead was covered by an incredibly terrifying pressure, vast as the sky and boundless as the earth. Those who dared to come here were all formidable figures, dominating their respective regions, or even ruling an entire realm. Yet, in the face of this aura, they felt as insignificant as ants, trembling with fear from body to soul.

They dared not advance, nor even retreat.

"This... this is... what kind of power?" an old man whose profound energy had reached the Divine King realm stammered.

"Could it be... a Divine Master... has descended?"

The same thought flashed through everyone's mind, instantly turning their faces pale and intensifying their terror a thousandfold.

Divine Masters stand at the pinnacle of the divine path, supreme beings truly deified within the cosmos. Countless profound practitioners in the God Realm had heard legendary tales of Divine Masters, looking up to and yearning for their existence, but throughout their lives, they never dared to hope of witnessing one, let alone personally enduring their unparalleled might.

The terrifying aura they now perceived infinitely surpassed their understanding of the profound way. It seemed to be a terrifying power capable of overwhelming even heaven and earth. In the face of such power, their own proud abilities, cultivated over half a lifetime, felt infinitely insignificant. The words "Divine Master" emerged in their trembling souls.

All spatial rifts healed. Phantom Sea Island completely vanished, leaving not a speck of dust. After the chaotic raging of whirlpools and turbulent waves, the sea finally began to calm down.

Then, the pressure that had nearly shattered the hearts and souls of countless strong individuals suddenly disappeared.

Everyone nearby felt their entire body relax, as if a towering mountain had suddenly lifted from them. Yet, the fear in their eyes remained undiminished. They all turned around and quickly fled in the direction they had come from. Not one person dared to approach another half-step.

Above the vanished Phantom Sea Island, Mu Xuanyin and Jasmine gazed at each other from a distance. The surrounding waves churned, but the sea beneath them was as flat as a mirror, without a single ripple.

Their profound energy remained unleashed, but both had simultaneously concealed their profound light and ceased fighting. After a brief silence, Mu Xuanyin spoke coldly: "Princess Caizhi, the Star God Realm King's youngest daughter, born with a weak constitution, the most unremarkable among all his children, and neglected due to her mother's early death. Yet five years ago, she perfectly inherited the power of the Heavenly Wolf Star God. It is also rumored that she is the only perfect inheritor in the Star God Realm's history."

"I never expected that I would one day cross paths with the Heavenly Wolf Star God!"

The blood-red wolf eyes on the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Sword closed. With a flash of blue light, the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Sword vanished from Jasmine's hand.

After retracting the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Sword, Jasmine's aura immediately shifted, and her eyes regained their clear and lively sparkle. She wasn't surprised at all that Mu Xuanyin had accurately revealed her identity and name. With a curl of her lips, she crossed her arms and mumbled softly, "Not only were you fortunate enough to fight this princess, but you weren't even defeated. You must be incredibly pleased with yourself."

Mu Xuanyin: "..."

"But... but!!" Jasmine's voice suddenly grew louder. Her eyes wide, she stared at Mu Xuanyin: "You... why are you so powerful? Are you truly just a Realm King from a middle-tier star realm? I've met all the Realm Kings of the upper-tier star realms, but there are only a handful of people as powerful as you."

"But according to the information about you, you should only be a Level Four Divine Master. Why are you... And you're so powerful, even if your star realm is insignificant, you alone should be enough to elevate it to an upper-tier star realm. Why is the Snow Song Realm only a middle-tier star realm? Have you been hiding your true strength all this time?"

"If people knew there was someone as powerful as you in the Snow Song Realm, even my father would be startled. The entire Eastern Divine Region would probably be stirred, and there would definitely be one more upper-tier star realm."

"None of your business!" Mu Xuanyin's gaze was cold. She hadn't put away her Snow Princess Sword, still pointing it at Jasmine... even though the other party was Princess Caizhi, someone capable of making all realms bow. "Answer my previous question! Why were you secretly following him?!"

Princess Caizhi tilted her head: "Hmph, I won't! I just want to follow him; you can't tell me what to do. Haha! How dare you be so rude, even after knowing this princess's identity? Aren't you afraid of making this princess angry?!"

Mu Xuanyin's icy eyes narrowed: "Could it be... you know about his relationship with your sister?"

Mu Xuanyin's probing question made Princess Caizhi's eyebrows twitch, and her face snapped around: "You... how do you know that?"

"Indeed!" Mu Xuanyin's delicate brows furrowed: "What else do you know about him?"

Princess Caizhi's lips parted slightly, then she said frankly, "I know his name is Yun Che, and he's from a distant lower realm. He came to the God Realm to find my sister. I also know he's here to search for the Emperor Immortal Grass, also to see my sister."

With each sentence Princess Caizhi spoke, Mu Xuanyin's eyes grew colder. "How do you know all this?! He would never tell anyone about this!"

"Then how do *you* know?"

"I am his Master!" Mu Xuanyin said coldly. "Of course, I know everything about him."

The Snow Princess Sword glowed with icy light, enveloping Princess Caizhi within its aura. "Now it's your turn to answer my question. He absolutely couldn't have told you himself. How exactly did you know... what other weaknesses does he have?!"

Weaknesses?

Observing Mu Xuanyin's grave expression and sensing the chill from her sword's aura, Princess Caizhi finally understood something. Her expression relaxed instantly, and she laughed, "You seem to care about him a lot."

"I am his Master, of course, I care about him!"

"Then why were you so fierce with him just now, and you even..."

"Answer my question!" Mu Xuanyin's tone grew colder.

"Hehe, alright." Princess Caizhi's wariness and tension vanished, and she said with a smile, "You really do seem to care about him. And since he's willing to tell you about my sister, he must trust you a lot."

Mu Xuanyin: "..."

Princess Caizhi said, "Actually, it's not really a weakness; it's just a bit of a coincidence."

"Coincidence?"

"About half a year ago, I think? This princess secretly ran out to play and met a bad uncle. This princess originally wanted to throw that bad uncle around for fun, but he suddenly rushed over and helped this princess scare him away." Princess Caizhi twitched her nose: "He used the first sword of the Heavenly Wolf Hell God Manual to drive away the bad uncle."

Mu Xuanyin: "..." Her gaze sharpened.

"That sword had form and power but no divine essence, and he even incorporated fire into it, so others surely wouldn't have recognized it. But this princess is the Heavenly Wolf Star God, the one most familiar with the Heavenly Wolf Hell God Manual. After my brother's death, I should have been the only one capable of using the Heavenly Wolf Hell God Manual. But my sister told me there's another person in this world who, without relying on the power or bloodline of the Heavenly Wolf Star God, has also cultivated the Heavenly Wolf Hell God Manual, though only its first sword."

"How could... such a thing be possible!?" The Snow Princess Sword slowly lowered, and Mu Xuanyin's aura gradually receded. She hadn't known that Yun Che possessed a divine art of the Heavenly Wolf Star God... To forcibly cultivate the first sword of the Heavenly Wolf Hell God Manual without the power or bloodline of the Heavenly Wolf Star God, truly, only Yun Che, with his Evil God's Profound Veins, could accomplish it in the entire world.

She was certain Yun Che would never reveal his connection with Jasmine to others, as the consequences would be incredibly severe if it reached the Star God Realm. Therefore, she had to know what other weaknesses he had that allowed Princess Caizhi to target him... It turned out to be such a bizarre coincidence.

He actually intervened to save the Heavenly Wolf Star God... and used the Heavenly Wolf Hell God Manual...

"Initially, I wasn't entirely sure he was the person my sister spoke of, so this princess secretly followed him. Then I realized that he resembled more and more what my sister described. Before long, this princess knew he must be the one my sister talked about."

"The fact that he came to the God Realm to find my sister touched this princess a little, so I followed behind him to protect him, to prevent him from dying before he could see my sister. However, since he has such a powerful Master like you, this princess probably doesn't need to worry about him dying anymore... I might as well go back and stay with my sister."

"How much did your sister tell you about him? And besides you, whom else did she tell?" Mu Xuanyin pressed.

"My sister told me a lot, certainly more than you can imagine. But she only told me." Princess Caizhi smiled: "I have my father, many uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, but my sister is my only true kin. And for my sister, I am her only true kin too."

She smiled sweetly, but behind her peculiar words, Mu Xuanyin sensed an unspeakable desolation.

"My sister often suddenly falls into a daze, and repeatedly brings up things about him. My sister is willing to give me everything, except for that red dress, which she often holds close but never allows me to touch even once."

"Whenever it's about him, my sister changes completely. I've always wanted to know what kind of person could make such a big difference to my sister. My sister also said that she would never be able to see him again in this lifetime, but I know that if she could, she would be very happy. Although she..."

Princess Caizhi suddenly stopped, leaving the rest unsaid.

Mu Xuanyin completely retracted her aura, and her gaze returned to normal, with only a hint of complexity stirring deep within. "You haven't told your sister about him coming to the God Realm, have you?"

"Of course not!" Princess Caizhi said without hesitation. "And you're not allowed to tell anyone either!"

"I don't need your reminder!" Mu Xuanyin said coldly. Her doubts and vigilance dispelled, she lingered no longer and spoke no further, simply turning and flying away. However, a deep sense of shock remained in her heart.

Princess Caizhi, according to rumors, completed the inheritance of the Heavenly Wolf's divine power only five years ago, becoming the new Heavenly Wolf Star God. In just five short years, with her divine power presumably only partially integrated, her strength has already reached such a level. In another five... ten... a hundred years... once she fully integrates the Heavenly Wolf's divine power, to what extent will she become powerful? It's simply unimaginable.

Legends say she is very likely to become the strongest Star God in the Star God Realm's history... This now seems to be no exaggeration.

"Ah... wait!"

A colorful blur flashed before Mu Xuanyin, and Princess Caizhi charmingly blocked her path. "Big sister, this princess answered your questions very seriously just now, so you... you should answer one of this princess's questions very seriously, okay?"

"...What question?"

"Um..." Princess Caizhi suddenly became coy, her face slightly lowered and faintly blushing, hesitating to speak. She glanced at Mu Xuanyin's generously endowed figure, straining against her snow-white robes, then at her own barely budding chest. Finally, she mustered immense courage and asked, "How... how can I grow up to be as shapely as you, with a prominent front and a defined back?"

Mu Xuanyin: "..."
