After saying that, the Human Emperor looked up at the firmaments and sighed. "I've got to return. There are still many people I have to protect on the other side."
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly, "Senior, have you heard of the vast wilderness?"
"Vast wilderness?"
The Human Emperor was momentarily stunned before nodding. "The vast wilderness is one of the upper worlds. There are all sorts of ferocious demon beasts roaming within and they are extremely strong. It's considered as one of the strongest medium-class worlds in the upper world!"
Su Zimo's eyes were filled with ecstasy.
After cultivating for so long, he finally obtained a piece of accurate news!
The vast wilderness was one of the medium-class worlds.
As long as he could ascend to the upper world successfully, he would have a chance to meet Die Yue!
Although Su Zimo was still far away from Die Yue, the two of them were getting closer.
The Human Emperor was about to leave. Su Zimo took a deep breath of air and finally asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time, "Senior Human Emperor, do you know of Die Yue?"
"Die Yue?"
The Human Emperor pondered and shook his head.
Su Zimo sighed internally with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
However, he was relieved before long.
The upper world was way too big!
It was made up of thousands of medium-class worlds and every single one of them could contain countless Tianhuang Mainland.
The Human Emperor was not in the vast wilderness so it was only logical that he had not heard of Die Yue's name.
No matter what, Su Zimo knew of the vast wilderness' background this time round.
His heart was filled with endless motivation!
The Human Emperor tossed the Human Emperor Mirror back to the guardian and nodded slightly. "Yue Hua, you've done well. It's been hard on you to protect the Human Emperor's Palace all these years."
"The matters of Tianhuang Mainland have come to an end for now. It's time for you to transcend the tribulation. If you delay it for a little longer and your blood qi deteriorates, the chances of you transcending the tribulation will be greatly reduced. "
"Thank you, master."
The guardian received the Human Emperor Mirror and bowed respectfully.
"Do you have a candidate for the next guardian of the palace?"
The Human Emperor asked.
The Human Emperor knew that there was another important reason why Yue Hua did not transcend the tribulation – he had yet to find a suitable successor for the Human Emperor's Palace.
"Not yet."
The Palace Guardian sighed and shook his head.
The successor of the Human Sovereign Palace not only had to have outstanding talent and terrifying combat strength, but more importantly, they had to have a good temperament.
Since ancient times, there had been many powerful Sovereigns. However, if they were like most of the Sovereigns in this era, who only cared about their own cultivation and ignored the safety of the human race, such a person was not worthy of being the successor of the Mortal Emperor Palace.
Even though he was the successor who guarded the Human Sovereign Palace, he was still a disciple of the Human Sovereign.
But in reality, he was also the successor who protected Tianhuang Mainland and the human race!
"I can recommend someone to you."
Human Emperor's gaze landed on the old storyteller not far away.
What a great honor it was to be recognized by the Human Emperor!
The old storyteller's face was suffused with a red glow as he suddenly straightened his body. His essence, qi, and spirit seemed to have reached their peak!
The experts present sighed softly.
They could all tell that the old storyteller was in a state of terminal lucidity.
It wouldn't be long before the Old Storyteller perished here!
"He …"
The palace guard said, "With his temperament, he is indeed qualified to inherit the Royal Palace. However, his battle prowess is not enough. He has only comprehended three supreme divine abilities."
"Most importantly, he doesn't have much lifespan left!"
The palace guard had a regretful expression.
The old storyteller paid the heaviest price for forcefully summoning the Human Emperor this time round – he expended all of his lifespan!
"Thank you for your favor, Human Emperor,"
The old storyteller smiled. "However, I feel that I don't have much time left and am truly unable to inherit the Royal Palace. I can die with no regrets now that I can receive those words from the Human Emperor before I die! "
"Master!"
Lin Xuanji arrived before the old storyteller and knelt down.
Initially, it was a joyous thing that the crisis of the human race was resolved. However, at that moment, Lin Xuanji could not feel happy at all.
Ever since the day he acknowledged the Human Emperor as his master, he had been messing around with the old storyteller.
There was never any etiquette or hierarchy in front of the old storyteller.
If it was any other rigid cultivator, they would have chased Lin Xuanji out of the sect long ago.
However, the old storyteller was indifferent.
Lin Xuanji had never revealed such emotions in front of the old storyteller.
However, at this moment, he knelt before the old storyteller with tears streaming down his cheeks.
"There's no need for that,"
The Human Emperor smiled gently. "Ling Long knew that you would expend all of your lifespan after releasing that secret skill. When I descended, she stuffed me with an elixir."
As he said that, the Human Emperor waved towards the rift that shone with a blazing brilliance above the firmaments.
It was only at this moment that everyone noticed a small jade green elixir bottle floating in the firmaments.
That was something that fell out when the Human Emperor's body shattered.
However, that scene was way too shocking and no one noticed the existence of the small elixir bottle.
The small elixir bottle was already filled with cracks – it must have endured an immense impact after descending from the upper realm.
"Thankfully, this small elixir bottle is safe,"
The Human Emperor took out the elixir bottle and flicked it towards the old storyteller. He nodded slightly and said, "Eat this elixir."
"This elixir is refined from an immortal herb from the upper realm of Ling Long. It can be considered as an immortal elixir that can increase one's lifespan," The Human Emperor explained.
"Ah!"
The old storyteller's heart skipped a beat.
After cultivating to the realm of emperors, any elixir that could increase one's lifespan in Tianhuang Mainland would be useless to them.
To think that the Human Emperor would bring along an immortal elixir personally refined by Fairy Ling Long when he descended!
The Human Emperor said, "Of course, this immortal elixir won't increase your lifespan by much."
"It's alright, it's alright."
The old storyteller was excited as he hurriedly received the immortal elixir and swallowed it.
For someone who was about to die, no matter how little their lifespan was increased, they would at least be able to survive!
Furthermore, there was hope as long as they survived.
At the very least, the old storyteller could choose to transcend the tribulation and take the risk!
After pausing for a moment, the Human Emperor continued, "Of course, it's more or less enough to increase your lifespan by tens of thousands of years. “
The old storyteller was stunned.
Psst!
Gasps could also be heard from the crowd!
Tens of thousands of years of lifespan!
This meant that the old storyteller would recover to his peak after consuming this elixir!
"Senior Human Emperor, you're taking such short breaths!"
Little Fatty muttered softly at the side.
Shi Jian revealed a look of admiration. "As expected of the Human Emperor of history. An increase of tens of thousands of years of lifespan is nothing in the eyes of the Human Emperor."
After swallowing the immortal elixir, a terrifying lifeforce burst forth and swept through the old storyteller's body, bloodline, organs and Essence Spirit!
The old storyteller's white hair fell off and his long, black hair grew back at a visible speed.
The wrinkles on the old storyteller's face vanished and even his beard was gone. He looked radiant and full of life!
Lin Xuanji was stunned and his eyes were brimming with tears, completely dumbfounded.
What was going on?
In the blink of an eye, this old man was radiating a second spring and looked even younger than him!
Did he cry for nothing?
"My good disciple, hurry and get up,"
The old storyteller looked at Lin Xuanji and said with a smile with a mocking gaze.
"Screech!"
Lin Xuanji jumped up from the ground and turned to leave. The tears on his face had not even dried as he grit his teeth. "You're so unreasonable, old man. How dare you mock me!"
