Above the Ninth Heaven, the mist flowed like water, and the light was gentle and warm. Two people were playing chess in an octagonal pavilion above the pond.
"Di Zun isn't here, so you can't be conferred. Isn't that what you want?" The one who spoke was a man in a dark blue robe. Sitting opposite him was Emperor Mo, who was supposed to be conferred today.
"What does that have to do with me?" Emperor Mo said lightly, "If I can't be conferred today, I won't be conferred in the future?"
"You know why Di Zun isn't here," the man opposite Emperor Mo said in a low voice. "Aren't you going to the Human Continent? If you're conferred, how will you get there?"
Emperor Mo didn't say anything and silently put down a chess piece on the chessboard.
"The sooner Ye Zhen transcends into the Divine Realm, the two of you can be together," the man added when Emperor Mo didn't speak.
"She'll forget me." Emperor Mo's voice was cold. After all, Ye Zhen was just a mortal, different from him. If she really transcended into the Divine Realm and came to the Upper God Continent, her feelings for him would definitely be severed.
The young man laughed. "You're afraid she'll forget you?"
"No more." Emperor Mo threw down the chess piece in his hand. "Go back."
"If you're in such a hurry, others will know you haven't been conferred." The man smiled. "Let's play another game."
Emperor Mo frowned at him. "Did Di Zun ask you to be here?"
"Can't I be here?" the man asked.
"Yuxiu, where did Di Zun go?" Emperor Mo asked coldly.
"I really don't know. He likes to go everywhere. Maybe he's in the Human Continent or the Xuantian Continent." Yuxiu waved his hand helplessly. "Anyway, without him here, you don't have to be conferred today, and no one can blame you. As for Di Zun Linglong … you know she follows Di Zun wherever he goes."
Emperor Mo held the chess piece in his hand and played another game in silence.
"I heard you brought your wife and son?" Yuxiu asked with a smile. "Do you want to introduce them to me?"
"No." Emperor Mo glanced at him coldly.
Yuxiu shook his head and sighed. "You're too stingy. When sister-in-law transcends into the Divine Realm, won't we be a family?"
"She won't come here." Suddenly, his qi sea shook. Someone had left his enchantment. He stood up abruptly. "I'm going back."
"What's wrong?" Yuxiu asked in surprise when he saw that Emperor Mo's expression wasn't right.
Emperor Mo did not even reply. He had already disappeared from where he stood.
Yuxiu hurriedly followed.
…
…
At the Holy Emperor Mountain, Ye Zhen was facing off against Holy Emperor Hou Ze.
Hou Zequing stared at Ye Zhen with his round eyes, gasping for breath, showing how fast he had just arrived.
With a wave of his hand, he released Ming Xi and his spiritual pet egg.
Ming Xi came to Ye Zhen's side with the spirit pet egg, which had returned to its original white and fat state.
"You are raising a pig." Ye Zhen knocked on the spirit pet egg and scolded in a low voice.
"Even if it's a pig, it's still mine. I have to raise it even if I cry." An Ge was afraid that Ming Xi didn't want the egg, so she said with a smile.
Ming Xi glanced at the spiritual pet egg and put it back into his space.
Sage Emperor Hou Ze was already impatient. "Hurry, give me the Golden Essence Cultivation Pill."
"Here, ten of them." Ye Zhen threw the brocade box to him. "You said that you would return our son with ten Golden Essence Cultivation Pills."
"Yes, yes, yes." Sage Emperor Hou Ze opened the brocade box, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. It was indeed the Golden Essence Cultivation Pill, and it was even purer than his. From the fragrance, it was obvious that it had just been refined. It was impossible for her to have found it elsewhere.
"Stop!" Sage Emperor Hou Ze blocked Ye Zhen's path, his eyes fixed on Ye Zhen. "Did you cultivate this?"
Ye Zhen nodded. "Yes, I didn't find it elsewhere. What do you want? Are you going to go back on your word?"
"If you dare go back on your word, our city lord will not let you go." Fire Phoenix shouted in front of Ming Xi.
Sage Emperor Hou Ze waved Fire Phoenix away. "You refined it yourself. How many furnaces did you refine?"
"A dozen furnaces, ten per furnace. I gave them all to you as you said." Ye Zhen said, looking at Sage Emperor Hou Ze warily.
"What!?" Sage Emperor Hou Ze had a look of shock on his face. "A single furnace … produced ten golden pills?"
An Ge laughed and asked, "Milord Saint Emperor, could it be that there's something wrong with these golden pills?"
The biggest problem was that there was nothing wrong with them!
He could tell that Ye Zhen had yet to Transcend Mortality and enter Sainthood. At most, she was at the Emperor Stage. In the Xuantian Continent, she would definitely be a supreme expert. But here, even An Ge, who stood next to her, was above her. How could she possibly concoct such a pill?
"You refined it yourself? Is there no one to help you? "Saint Emperor Hou Ze asked aggressively.
"No! No! "Ye Zhen called out." When I was refining the pill, Sage An Ge was standing guard for me. Ask him. "
An Ge nodded. "Milord Saint Emperor, she really did refine it herself."
"I can't even compare to a woman …" Sage Emperor Hou Ze had a look of defeat on his face. He couldn't believe that he had refined over a hundred furnaces of pills and had only managed to refine three, while this woman had refined such a golden pill in just a dozen furnaces. How could he possibly refine pills?
Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow. "Who said that women can't refine pills?"
"What furnace did you use? What pill did you use? Where's the pill recipe?" Let me have a look! "Saint Emperor Hou Ze shouted somewhat crazily.
"That has nothing to do with you." Ye Zhen took a few steps back. No wonder An Ge said that this person was crazy about alchemy. All he did was immerse himself in the world of alchemy. He really did look crazy.
An Ge stood in front of him. "Milord Saint Emperor, everyone has their own talent in alchemy. Ye Zhen is quite talented in this area."
"Are you saying that I have no talent?" Hou Ze frowned as he looked at An Ge.
"I … that's not what I meant." An Ge laughed dryly. Actually, that was exactly what he was thinking. Comparing oneself to others would only make one angry.
Take him and Emperor Mo for example. He had clearly Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood long ago, but Emperor Mo was already a Saint Emperor while he was still a Minor Saint.
"You really do have no talent. Yesterday, you even refined a few furnaces of the simplest Spirit Deposition Pills," Ming Xi said seriously. "You should stop refining pills. Isn't it better to find other hobbies?"
"…" An Ge looked at her little disciple speechlessly. Being so direct would only get him killed!
Sage Emperor Hou Ze clearly wasn't willing to accept reality. "Show me your pill recipe. I want to know what's different."
That was too much! Who in the world would ask for a pill recipe so directly?
"Milord Saint Emperor …" An Ge wanted to stop him, but was swept away by a wave of his hand.
Just as Hou Ze was about to grab Ye Zhen, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the air. A black longsword shot towards his hand.
Hou Ze's eyes flashed as he dodged hurriedly.
Ye Zhen raised her head. "Ah Zhan!"
