Eternal Holy Emperor

Chapter 1101 - 1006: The Mysterious Elder

Ye Chen, the Goddess, Yii Wu, and Chen’er entered the peaceful land, led by an old servant, to meet its master.

In fact, their hearts were stirred with surprise, as they hadn’t expected this peaceful land to have a master.

However, from the beginning, Ye Chen didn’t believe this place was masterless. As he discovered it, he had some guesses in his mind. Perhaps there was a peerless existence behind it, manipulating this vast Divine Battlefield, arranging and pushing its evolution, eventually transforming it into such a polar opposite land.

There’s always something strange when things deviate from the norm, and that’s precisely what this implies.

And this person is very likely the "master" who sent the old servant to invite them over.

Along the way, they traversed layers of Immortal Mountains and Divine Islands, riding the clouds and mist at an incredible speed, until they reached the depths of the peaceful land, where everything seemed harmonious, beautiful, and serene.

On the grasslands, Spirit Deer dashed about, while celestial cranes soared under the Heavenly Dome, accompanied by many small beasts filled with Spiritual Energy.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, glowing with radiant light, took root in the forest.

There was a vast garden lake, shimmering with light, and at its center stood a modest little island, not large, about thirty feet in diameter, with a thatched cottage built upon it.

It was simple and natural, without any particular Dao Rhythm, nor any overwhelming pressure, only a kindly old man, with white hair and beard, leisurely lying on a Taishi Chair, holding a bamboo rod while fishing on the lake, immovable, fully engrossed.

Everything seemed so simple, so natural.

Yet, the more it appeared so, the more Ye Chen felt the extraordinary nature of the elder.

The old servant led Ye Chen and his companions to land on the little island, first stepping forward to bow respectfully and salute: "Master, I have brought the guests."

The kindly old man nodded, giving Ye Chen and his companions a gentle smile, appearing very warm and amiable, with a sincere and straightforward demeanor, devoid of any swirling Dao charm, slowly rising and making a welcoming gesture: "Dear young friends, please have a seat."

There was a stone table, upon which a teapot and four teacups suddenly appeared out of thin air. The elder personally poured four cups of hot tea, inviting Ye Chen and the Three Immortals to savor it.

Ye Chen nodded, seating himself with the Three Immortals, and he was the first to pick up one of the teacups. It was small, and the tea within was light, with just a single tea leaf floating, yet it was apparent that this tea leaf was anything but ordinary, imprinted with a majestic Mountain and River Map, with sun, moon, and stars emerging on it, as if it contained within it a Great Ancient World, certainly extraordinary.

The elder smiled without speaking, merely inviting them to enjoy the tea.

"Brother Yue," Yii Wu was the most worried, concerned about any mishaps, as the other’s origins were unknown.

Ye Chen shook his head, signaling no harm, as he was the Combat Saint Body, and few toxins could affect him. Chen’er also chuckled, revealing adorable dimples: "Sister Yii Wu, there’s no need to worry, there’s no poison in the tea. It’s the finest Dao Tea, very helpful for Enlightenment."

The group was astonished, looking at Chen’er. Chen’er was Innately extraordinary, surrounded by rosy glows, Spiritual Energy swirling, solemnly nodding: "I feel the old grandpa has no ill intentions."

Ye Chen and the others remained silent; Chen’er found it easiest to commune with the Origin of Heaven and Earth, possessing a childlike heart, and could perceive emotional fluctuations in others’ hearts.

If she spoke thus, then it was likely nine out of ten times to be correct.

The elder also looked at Chen’er, initially startled, his gaze sharp for the first time as he stared at Chen’er’s forehead, quickly becoming restrained again, and sighed: "There once existed a type of person in this world, whose spirit platform was like a mirror, untouched by dust, with a childlike heart, sensing all under heaven, perceiving human hearts. It seems this young friend is one such person."

Such individuals were exceedingly rare. Even Ancient Great Powers could not always maintain a childlike heart, as worldly trivialities invariably troubled the mind, like dust covering a clear mirror, never achieving thorough transparency.

But Chen’er was perhaps naturally so, pure and without guile, her spirit platform ever untouched by dust, needing no polishing, maintaining a flawless clarity, offering incomparable benefits to Cultivation.

Ye Chen took a sip of the tea, and the moment it entered his mouth, it transformed into boundless Dao philosophies, flowing within him, surging towards his Sea of Consciousness, as if a Great World emerged within, magnificent and boundless, with all spirits awakening, flourishing in glory.

Boom—

Suddenly, peerless Dao Power emanated from Ye Chen, nearly shattering the entire peaceful land, but the elder merely stomped his foot to withstand it.

And at that moment, from the center of Ye Chen’s brow, a thirty-three-level Human Emperor Tower emerged with a slight tremble, flowing with Chaos Ancient Energy, calming Ye Chen down.

Ye Chen stared intently at the teacup in his hand, his gaze flickering. This was a cup of Dao Tea, and more than that, an extraordinary cup of Dao Tea, drinking it invoked endless insights akin to Heaven and Earth Creation flooding his mind, shaking his Dao to the point it wanted to break free and awe the Great World, facing the Heavenly King in Crossing Tribulation.

Ultimately, he managed to suppress it with the Human Emperor Tower, averting any incident.

Nonetheless, this elder was indeed remarkable, able to withstand his pressure with a mere stomp.

Extraordinary Dao Tea, extraordinary elder.

At the same time, the elder glanced at the Human Emperor Tower above Ye Chen’s head, his eyes showing a complex emotion, before lightly sighing: "It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this tower."

Ye Chen’s expression grew more serious, but the white-haired elder said no more on the matter.

The Goddess, Yii Wu, and Chen’er all drank the Dao Tea, immediately entering a state of Enlightenment, with a wealth of realization sparking in their hearts.

"Honored elder, the reason we’ve come this time is to find two small beasts, which are in this Inner Heaven and Earth."

Ye Chen spoke, revealing the image information of Yiyi and the Golden Little Divine Dragon.

Upon seeing the image of the two small beasts, the old servant’s expression changed, looking toward his master, unable to resist saying: "Master, this..."

The elder sighed softly: "Fate has been determined, there is no need to force it. The true people have arrived, and they should return to these individuals."

He swiped his hand, tearing the void, opening a colorful passage.

"Yiyi ya ya—"

From within the passage came the sound of a juvenile beast’s cry, along with another howling sound.

The elder beckoned with a smile: "Come now, those you’ve been waiting for have arrived."

Swish swish—

A white and a golden streak of light flashed, darting through the colorful passage, appearing on the little island.

One was completely white as snow, resembling a small white beast like a cat, with large, bright black eyes, looking so tender and adorable, endearing at first sight, able to evoke the maternal instincts of countless women, wanting to hold it tightly in their arms.

The other was a golden dragon, appearing plump, small in stature like a puppy, yet it was charmingly lovely, entirely contradicting the infinite majesty people associated with the True Dragon.

Yiyi, Golden Little Divine Dragon.
