Xu Nian and Murong Xue arrive at Qinglan Star, intending to confront the Green Emperor about Leng Yanran's body. They travel to Heavenly Dao Star, where they are met by Xuan Kong, a God Emperor. Xu Nian inquires about the Green Emperor, but Xuan Kong claims ignorance. Xu Nian then asks to see Tiancang God Emperor, whom he knows. Tiancang agrees to help Xu Nian retrieve Leng Yanran's body and soul, despite acknowledging the difficulty due to the Green Emperor's pride and Xu Nian's connection to her legacy. Tiancang prepares to take Xu Nian to the Green Emperor.

In the vast void, the surroundings were as cold as deathly silence.

On a planet already extinguished, the figures of Xu Nian, Tiancang Divine Emperor, and Murong Xue appeared simultaneously.

Xu Nian surveyed the surroundings, discovering that life was utterly absent.

This was an immense planet that had died, devoid of any vitality.

"Could she be in seclusion on this planet?" Xu Nian asked, surprised.

"Indeed, she dislikes interaction with others, so she has been in seclusion in such a place. She should have sensed our arrival and will appear shortly," Tiancang Divine Emperor said.

Xu Nian nodded.

Having waited for so long, a brief moment would not matter.

Indeed, shortly afterward, a voice cold beyond measure resounded.

"Tiancang Divine Emperor, didn’t I tell you not to disturb me unless it’s important? Why did you bring outsiders?" The voice was icy, with a clear trace of displeasure.

Xu Nian immediately looked toward the speaker, his gaze turning sharp in an instant.

Yes, the person appearing before him was none other than the familiar Leng Yanran.

But her entire aura had changed; she had become a completely different person.

In fact, she really had changed, for the soul residing in her body was no longer Leng Yanran.

Sensing Xu Nian’s agitation, Tiancang Divine Emperor gently patted his shoulder and then spoke to Emperor Qing, "Emperor Qing, this is the successor of the Green Emperor, now already at the eighth level of the Unification Dao Realm."

"Oh, the successor of the Green Emperor?" Emperor Qing glanced at Xu Nian, her eyes revealing a hint of doubt.

She suddenly felt inexplicably familiar with the person before her.

"I am not only the Green Emperor’s successor but also the husband of the owner of this body," Xu Nian said.

At these words, Emperor Qing flared with anger, glaring at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian’s gaze also held a hint of fury.

Yanran’s body being occupied by others was something he could not tolerate.

"You are that Xu Nian; I thought you were just a common Divine, but I didn’t expect you to have reached the eighth level of the Unification Dao," Emperor Qing said.

"Senior, may I retrieve my wife’s soul and body?" Xu Nian asked.

"The soul can be returned to you, but not the body," Emperor Qing coldly replied.

"Why, Senior, do you intend to forcibly occupy it?" Xu Nian asked angrily.

"Insolent, who gave you the guts to speak to me this way? Do you believe I can’t kill you right now?" Emperor Qing shouted angrily.

"This is my wife’s body; why shouldn’t I want it?" Xu Nian’s gaze was sharp, devoid of any fear.

"Let’s discuss this calmly. Emperor Qing, this indeed is his wife’s body; it’s inappropriate for you to occupy it this way," Tiancang Divine Emperor immediately said.

"Tiancang, I haven’t settled the score with you yet. You brought people to disrupt my cultivation sanctuary. What are you planning?" Emperor Qing said arrogantly.

Tiancang Divine Emperor’s face showed some embarrassment.

This Emperor Qing remained as arrogant as ever after all these years.

"Humph, it is impossible for me to surrender the body. If you want her soul, you’d best watch your tone," Emperor Qing said.

After speaking, a light orb appeared in her hand, and within that orb was a figure, none other than Leng Yanran.

"Yanran!"

"Sister Yanran!"

Xu Nian and Murong Xue immediately became tense.

"If you want her soul not to scatter, you better leave quietly. There is no way I am giving up the body. I have invested heavily to raise this body to its current state. Do you think I will simply abandon it?" Emperor Qing said coldly.

Xu Nian’s gaze was fierce.

"Then give me Yanran’s soul first and secondly tell me what condition it takes for you to surrender the body. I can cover your losses," Xu Nian said with a firm gaze.

"You can cover it? Can you afford it? Well, since you proposed a condition, I’ll state mine: one Supreme Order, and I can give you the body," Emperor Qing said.

"Emperor Qing, that’s a bit too much," Tiancang hurriedly intervened.

"Is it too much? He himself said to propose a condition, and I only stated mine," Emperor Qing said with a cold smile.

She hardly thought Xu Nian would agree.

She was merely attempting to make Xu Nian retreat in the face of difficulty.

Supreme Order, how could a Unification Dao Realm Expert possibly obtain it?

"Okay, as long as I present a Supreme Order, you will return Yanran’s body?" Xu Nian’s gaze remained firm.

He had no other choice.

The body was in Emperor Qing’s hands, and pressing too hard would only lead her to destroy it.

Thus, Xu Nian had to negotiate.

Xu Nian’s words stunned both Emperor Qing and Tiancang Divine Emperor.

This guy actually agreed.

To know that was a Supreme Order.

"You truly agree to exchange for the Supreme Order? Can you acquire it?" Emperor Qing said with a cold smile.

"Whether I can acquire it or not is my concern. As long as I find the Supreme Order, you will return Yanran’s body, right? Are you sure?" Xu Nian asked.

"Yes, as long as you produce the Supreme Order, I will hand over the body intact," Emperor Qing smiled.

"Good, deal is made. Give me her soul first," Xu Nian said.

Emperor Qing did not hesitate, directly returning Yanran’s soul.

Xu Nian took the soul, checked it over, and then turned away.

"Let’s go."

With that, he took Murong Xue and broke through the void.
