Chapter 2572: The Five Radiance Domain!

"Jade-faced Swordsman, Luo Yunqing?" Ye Yuan frowned, looking at the newcomer, muttering to himself.

This was the first time he had seen an ascender other than himself.

The person before him did not conceal his strength but openly displayed it.

This aura had clearly broken through the Great Ultimate Heavenly Rank, reaching the Infinite Heavenly Rank!

Moreover, this person walked calmly, yet like a sharp sword, forcing others to squint.

Strong!

This was the first impression the Jade-faced Swordsman gave Ye Yuan!

A hint of solemnity also flashed across Ye Yuan's face.

This person was too strong; he simply could not match him in strength.

Judging by Zhao Kun and the others' reactions, the visitor meant trouble!

Luo Yunqing approached slowly, seeming slow but fast, reaching them in a few breaths.

"Young man, come with me! The True Yang Domain is not suitable for you!" Luo Yunqing looked at Ye Yuan and said calmly.

Ye Yuan was startled, clearly not expecting that Luo Yunqing had come to recruit him.

Zhao Kun said in shock, "The Jade-faced Swordsman Luo Yunqing personally came as a guide!"

Ye Yuan was completely baffled, having no idea what they were talking about.

Although he had been in Tai Ming Yu Wan Tian for some years, he was confined to a corner of the Eastern Lin Kingdom and knew little about many things.

For instance, this 'guide.'

Ye Yuan looked at Luo Yunqing and frowned, "Guide?"

Luo Yunqing seemed very patient and said with a light smile, "Ascenders are scattered everywhere, but among the five domains nearby, apart from the Five Radiance Domain, the other four domains are extremely hostile to ascenders. They even kill on sight! Therefore, the Five Radiance Domain has sent many guides deep into the four domains to lead ascenders into the Five Radiance Domain!"

Hearing this, Ye Yuan suddenly understood.

The Five Radiance Domain, pitting one domain against four, naturally needed fresh strength.

But ascenders were spread across all domains, and few survived except in the Five Radiance Domain.

Hence, the need for guides!

However, judging by Zhao Kun and the others' expressions, this Luo Yunqing held a high status among the guides.

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Sorry, I have no plans to go to the Five Radiance Domain for now!"

Zhao Kun's eyes bulged, his face full of shock.

That was Luo Yunqing!

Luo Yunqing personally came to fetch him—this was a tremendous honor—yet this guy didn't appreciate it!

Luo Yunqing, however, was unperturbed and smiled, "You cannot go to the Jade True Heavenly Sect. Believe me, if you go to the Jade True Heavenly Sect, you will surely die!"

Ye Yuan frowned, "I don't believe it!"

Luo Yunqing appeared very patient and said, "I know your alchemy skills are extraordinary, but you don't know the attitude of the Jade True Heavenly Sect's higher-ups toward ascenders!"

Ye Yuan asked curiously, "Oh? What attitude?"

Luo Yunqing said, "The stronger your strength, the more the Jade True Heavenly Sect will fear you! Because the founding ancestor of the Jade True Heavenly Sect, Yan Yuzhen, was severely wounded by a great power from our Five Radiance Domain and ultimately perished! Moreover, the sect's supreme treasure, Mount Tongtian, was lost as a result. Therefore, the higher-ups of the Jade True Heavenly Sect harbor extreme hatred for ascenders! If you go to the Jade True Heavenly Sect, you will surely die!"

Ye Yuan listened, his mind unsettled for a long time.

He hadn't expected that Yan Yuzhen had died at the hands of a great power from the Five Radiance Domain!

If what Luo Yunqing said was true, then going to the Jade True Heavenly Sect would indeed be walking into a trap.

Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Kun and said solemnly, "Is what he said true?"

Zhao Kun said blankly, "I... I don't know!"

Luo Yunqing smiled, "Ordinary disciples know very little about this matter; only those old fogies know. But it is an indisputable fact that the Jade True Heavenly Sect is extremely hostile to ascenders!"

Ye Yuan took a deep breath, appearing hesitant.

Luo Yunqing continued, "Whether I speak truth or falsehood, you will know in the future. But it's clearly not worth taking the risk now. You are a smart person; you know how to choose."

Ye Yuan looked at Luo Yunqing and said, "You seem to know a lot about me."

Luo Yunqing smiled, "I have been lurking in the Eastern Lin Imperial City for nearly ten years! If you hadn't suddenly decided to go to the Jade True Heavenly Sect, I wouldn't have revealed myself. If I act here, the Jade True Heavenly Sect will presumably not vent its anger on the Eastern Lin Kingdom."

Ye Yuan was secretly shocked, never expecting that he had been under surveillance for ten years!

But what Luo Yunqing did was indeed considerate of him.

He knew that Ye Yuan valued his connections in the Eastern Lin Kingdom, so he deliberately chose to act at the border between the two countries.

With Luo Yunqing's strength, forcibly taking him away would be effortless.

Yet such a powerful figure had lurked for ten years for his sake!

Moreover, he was patiently persuading him here, clearly showing that he valued him greatly!

Luo Yunqing had treated him with extreme courtesy.

It would be unreasonable to be ungrateful any longer.

"Alright, I'll go with you!" Ye Yuan made up his mind.

Luo Yunqing smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Brother Ye!"

Thud!

Just then, Zhao Kun suddenly knelt down and pleaded tearfully, "Sp... Spare me, Lord Luo!"

Clearly, they were extremely terrified of this Luo Yunqing.

Luo Yunqing said nothing, and in a flash of cold light, the four were instantly killed!

Ye Yuan's pupils contracted sharply; with his eyesight, he couldn't even see how Luo Yunqing had drawn his sword!

Strong!

Truly strong!

After killing the four, Luo Yunqing acted as if he had done something trivial, still smiling lightly, "My sword is easily recognizable; the Jade True Heavenly Sect will not vent its anger on the Eastern Lin Kingdom! Now, do you have any more questions?"

Luo Yunqing killed them precisely to let the Jade True Heavenly Sect know that it was his doing.

This way, the sect's矛头 would point at him, not the Eastern Lin Kingdom.

His consideration for Ye Yuan was truly thorough.

Ye Yuan understood clearly that Luo Yunqing valued him because of his alchemy abilities.

Ascenders could not refine pills, so the number of celestial pharmacists in the Five Radiance Domain must be extremely scarce.

Moreover, limited by affinity, the level of celestial pharmacists there was probably not high.

Thus, a top expert like Luo Yunqing would lower himself to treat Ye Yuan as an equal.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "I want to know about the Five Radiance Domain!"

Luo Yunqing nodded slightly and began to explain in detail.

It turned out that the region where the five domains were located was just a corner of Tai Ming Yu Wan Tian, called the Yuqing Continent.

Originally, there were only four domains on the Yuqing Continent, not the Five Radiance Domain.

The native forces had always maintained a repressive attitude toward ascenders.

Countless ascenders had died at the hands of native forces.

Naturally, the ascenders were unwilling to sit idly and wait for death.

Thus, they united to resist the native forces.

Ascenders had boundless potential; once they gained a foothold, their strength was formidable.

But compared to native forces, ascenders were too scattered and too few.

No one knew how long it took, how many great battles were fought, or how many ascenders died, before they finally carved out a domain by sheer force, named the Five Radiance Domain!

From then on, the Five Radiance Domain became one of the five domains!
