Chapter 891: A Magical Place

"A dying person?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Yi Feng furrowed his brows and quickly asked.

"I am a cursed person!"

Piaomiao Hong smiled bitterly and then explained everything in detail.

It turned out that 100,000 years ago, after Piaomiao Hong's ancestor established the Sword Valley, they ventured into a forbidden land. Upon returning, they discovered they were afflicted with a curse that would pass down through their bloodline. From birth, the curse would progress through three stages, ultimately leading to a violent death.

Thus, for generations, the Piao family of Sword Valley had been striving to break this curse.

Finally, they found a solution: using the horn of a dragon fish before reaching the final stage of the curse.

However, dragon fish were not easy to find, and as a result, 99% of the Piao family's bloodline perished due to this curse.

Now, it was Piaomiao Hong's turn to suffer under this curse, struggling desperately to break free.

But who would have thought?

They had finally found the dragon fish, but Piaomiao Hong had already passed the second stage and entered the final stage.

In other words, even with the dragon fish, it was now useless to her.

No wonder her reaction upon obtaining the dragon fish was so complicated.

She had found the life-saving medicine, but her illness was already terminal.

"It's nothing."

"For 100,000 years, the people of Sword Valley have grown accustomed to it."

Piaomiao Hong forced a smile and said, "Besides, this curse isn't entirely bad. At least since the curse appeared, the cultivation speed of our Sword Valley lineage has far surpassed that of ordinary people. Even though our lives are short, Sword Valley still stands proudly in the Heavenly Domain!"

She pretended not to care.

Clearly, she didn't want to reveal her vulnerability in front of others.

But the resentment in her heart weighed heavily on her, especially when facing Yi Feng, who stirred up many emotions in her.

Some people want to live but can't, no matter how hard they try.

Some people want to die but can't, no matter what they do...

"Don't worry, you will definitely live."

After hearing Piaomiao Hong's tragic story, Yi Feng smiled and encouraged her.

"Mr. Yi, there's no need to comfort me. I've already accepted my fate. It's no big deal."

Piaomiao Hong forced a smile.

"Accept what fate? You can't give up! You'll be fine. My words are blessed. Believe me, if I say you won't die, then you won't die."

Yi Feng clenched his fist and cheered her on.

Hearing such a story, he didn't know how to handle it and could only offer comfort in this way.

"Thank you, Mr. Yi."

Piaomiao Hong covered her mouth and laughed, not expecting this person to be quite endearing.

However, she could tell that Yi Feng was just trying to comfort her.

How could she possibly be fine?

None of her ancestors had escaped this curse, so why should she be the exception?

"Mr. Yi, we shouldn't delay. Let's head to the Heavenly Domain right away."

Piaomiao Hong said softly, "The sooner we fulfill your wish, the sooner I can rest in peace."

"But you..."

Yi Feng frowned. He couldn't bear the thought of this girl spending her final days accompanying him on his quest for death.

"Today, I received two dragon fish from you, Mr. Yi. I have no way to repay you, so my final wish is to help you achieve your goal." Piaomiao Hong said earnestly, "If I can't fulfill your wish, I fear I won't be able to rest in peace even in death."

Yi Feng opened his mouth but eventually nodded in agreement.

"Then how do we get there?"

Yi Feng asked.

Piaomiao Hong smiled and said, "Mr. Yi, you probably don't know this, but now that the Sage has emerged, the teleportation arrays between the Heavenly Domain and the Nine Realms have long been established."

"Of course, given the current situation, it's likely not just the Heavenly Domain. There are probably many teleportation arrays connecting other domains and the Nine Realms, though we don't know where they are."

"In any case, the Nine Realms are now a whirlpool of activity."

"Is the Sage really that amazing?" Yi Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Of course."

Piaomiao Hong didn't hesitate. When she spoke of the Sage, her eyes were filled with reverence.

"But how do you know who the Sage is?" Yi Feng asked.

"When the time comes, it will become apparent," Piaomiao Hong explained.

"For example?"

Yi Feng pressed.

After a moment of thought, Piaomiao Hong replied, "It depends on what kind of Sage emerges in the Nine Realms."

"If it's a Sage of Culture, the culture of the Nine Realms will surely flourish."

"If it's a Sword Sage, the path of swordsmanship in the Nine Realms will receive the blessings of the heavens, and all sword cultivators will greatly benefit."

"In short, different Sages will cause different reactions. With a little speculation, we can figure out what kind of Sage has awakened this time."

"I see."

Yi Feng nodded, gaining a rough understanding of the Sage.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, as his sole focus was on seeking death.

"How is the Heavenly Domain different from the Nine Realms?"

As they made their way to the teleportation array, Yi Feng asked.

"Of course, there are differences, especially some things that I think you'll find very interesting," Piaomiao Hong replied.

"Like what?"

Yi Feng was like a curious child.

"There's one thing that gives everyone an extra chance to rise, or even allows those who were originally incapable to enjoy privileges they shouldn't have." At this point, Piaomiao Hong paused, then continued, "Even if you're just an outer sect disciple doing menial tasks, there, you might receive the treatment of a high-ranking individual..."

"Oh?"

"Is there really such a magical place?"

Yi Feng's curiosity was instantly piqued, and he eagerly asked, "What kind of place is this?"

"It's hard to explain in just a few words. Once we get there and you experience it for yourself, you'll understand."

Piaomiao Hong smiled sweetly, then added, "Also, the dangers of the Heavenly Domain are not comparable to those of the Nine Realms. The laws there are much harsher."

"Is that so..."

Yi Feng pursed his lips, now genuinely curious about this Heavenly Domain.
