"I just happened to come back to the Eldritch Wilderness to pay my respects to Brother Wukong. I'll be leaving soon," Ye Xuan said softly.
"Sigh."
Patriarch Subhuti let out a long sigh. "Your world is no longer limited to the Eldritch Wilderness. The Chaotic Universe is your stage. I wonder when we'll meet again."
"Senior Brother Ye, can I call you Senior Brother Ye?"
Suddenly, the girl carefully interjected and looked at Ye Xuan with sparkling eyes.
"Of course. Wukong is my elder brother. According to seniority, you can indeed call me Senior Brother," Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Ye, I've always heard Master talking about how powerful Senior Brother Wukong is. Who's more powerful between you and Senior Brother Wukong?" the girl asked curiously.
"This …?"
Ye Xuan was stunned and a wry smile appeared on his face.
This question was actually very easy to answer because it was obvious. However, Ye Xuan still thought for a moment and said, "If Eldest Brother was still here, then with his talent, he definitely wouldn't be inferior to me. Moreover, if it wasn't for Eldest Brother back then, there wouldn't be the Ye Xuan of today."
"Little friend, you're too modest."
Subhuti sighed. Although he could not see Ye Xuan's current cultivation level, Ye Xuan was already a Great Saint when he left. What he faced was a mutated Chaotic Divine Tribulation. After millions of years, Ye Xuan had probably reached an unimaginable level.
"Both Senior Brothers are so powerful. Senior Brother Ye, can you teach me some Dharma Formulations and Divine Abilities? I want to be as powerful as them," the girl said uneasily.
"You're Brother Wukong's Junior Sister, so you're my Junior Sister. Of course, there's no problem," Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"That's great!"
The girl did not know Ye Xuan's cultivation level, but she could feel that Ye Xuan was very, very powerful. At this moment, she cheered excitedly.
"Thank you for nurturing my disciple!"
Subhuti bowed to Ye Xuan. He knew that he didn't have much of a relationship with Ye Xuan. Everything was because of Sun Wukong. Ye Xuan only agreed to the girl's request because of Sun Wukong.
"Patriarch, there's no need to be so courteous. You are Brother Wukong's teacher and also my elder. This is what I should do. Consider it my compensation to Brother Wukong."
Ye Xuan didn't let Subhuti kowtow because this was the place where Sun Wukong turned into a five-colored divine stone. Ye Xuan had never forgotten this place.
Chanting the Great Dao and passing on the teachings for three days.
Ye Xuan stayed in Fangcun Mountain for three days to teach the girl. Naturally, Subhuti accompanied him. In fact, to a large extent, Ye Xuan was also teaching Subhuti. After all, Subhuti couldn't beg Ye Xuan because of his face. Ye Xuan naturally had to consider Subhuti's face.
"Here's a bottle of Three Yuan Pills. It's enough for Patriarch to steadily step into the Saint King Realm." On the day Ye Xuan left, he left behind a bottle of pills and flew away.
Watching Ye Xuan disappear into the horizon, the girl tugged at the corner of Subhuti's clothes and said in confusion, "Master, why do I feel like you're very afraid of him? Even your tone of voice is very unnatural."
Upon hearing the girl's words, Subhuti's face turned red. He was not afraid of Ye Xuan, but he knew what Ye Xuan had gone through in the past and what cultivation level he was at now.
It was like a sheep and a tiger. Although the tiger was very close to the sheep and didn't have any intention of harming it, the sheep was still very afraid because this was the natural chasm between the strong and the weak. It was simply impossible to cross.
To put it bluntly, it was the coercion of the superior to the inferior. Even if Ye Xuan had restrained his Yangsheng Realm aura, Subhuti could still feel the great pressure.
"Don't talk nonsense. Little Friend Ye is Wukong's brother. Why would I be afraid of him?"
Subhuti's face turned red and he gave the girl a hard slap with his ruler. The girl immediately screamed and begged for mercy.
…
On the other side.
Ye Xuan was strolling in the sky, heading in the direction of the Celestial Court. He wanted to go back to the Celestial Court to take a look, and then he planned to return to the Chaotic World, because he had many more important things to do.
However, after staying in Fangcun Mountain for three days, Ye Xuan really felt what it meant to be lonely at the top. A feeling of loneliness lingered in his heart.
In the past, Subhuti had treated him as a fellow Taoist, and the two of them had treated each other as equals. However, when they met again today, Ye Xuan could clearly feel the fear in Subhuti's heart.
Subhuti had been very careful in his conversation with him in the past three days, for fear of offending him.
Ye Xuan also finally understood that when a person was at the top, the people and things of the past were already in the past. There was already a difference between the strong and the weak when talking to someone who was not at the same level.
Although Ye Xuan had always understood this truth, when he personally experienced it, he still felt a little lonely. He also understood the saying that it was lonely at the top.
"Stop!"
When Ye Xuan came to the Southern Heavenly Gate unconsciously, a loud shout woke him up. He saw two golden-armored Celestial Generals blocking his way, looking at him angrily and majestically.
Looking at the two Celestial Generals in front of him, Ye Xuan did not know them at all. Obviously, after millions of years, the Four Heavenly Kings guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate had changed.
"May I know who you are and why have you come to the Celestial Court?"
One of the golden-armored Celestial Generals looked at Ye Xuan in confusion. He opened his Heavenly Eyes to observe Ye Xuan's cultivation, but to his surprise, he could not see through Ye Xuan's cultivation, as if he was standing in front of a mass of air.
"Is Kong Xuan in the Celestial Court?" Ye Xuan asked calmly.
"How dare you call the old Celestial Emperor by his name?" The two Celestial Generals were furious. They raised their weapons and looked at Ye Xuan with extremely unfriendly eyes.
"The old Celestial Emperor?"
Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. He remembered that he had passed the position of Celestial Emperor to Kong Xuan before he left. How did Kong Xuan become the old Celestial Emperor after millions of years?
"If Kong Xuan is the old Celestial Emperor, then who is the current Celestial Emperor?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.
Looking at Ye Xuan's puzzled expression, the two golden-armored Celestial Generals looked at each other. Could he be a Sage-to-be who had not appeared for a long time? Otherwise, how could he not know who the current Celestial Emperor was?
"The current ruler of the Untainted Land is Empress Qing Xuan," one of the golden-armored Celestial Generals said majestically.
"Empress Qing Xuan?"
Hearing this name, Ye Xuan felt that it was familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it.
"Who is making a racket at the Southern Heavenly Gate?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded. An old man in a white immortal robe walked over slowly. The two Celestial Generals' expressions changed and they hurriedly bowed to greet the old man.
"Sage-to-be Taibai, it was this Daoist who called the old Celestial Emperor by his name. We scolded him and disturbed your cultivation. Please don't blame us," the two golden-armored Celestial Generals said fearfully.
"Venus Taibai?"
Looking at the white-robed old man, Ye Xuan smiled. He did not expect that after millions of years, Venus Taibai had only cultivated to the Sage-to-be Realm and was still an official of the Celestial Court.
"How dare you call me by my name. Where did you come from, wild Daoist … could it be …"
Venus Taibai shouted and looked at Ye Xuan. He was the most senior official of the Celestial Court. Even Empress Qing Xuan had to be courteous to him. He had not heard anyone call him by his name for a long time.
"Hmm?"
However, when Taibai Jinxing saw Ye Xuan, his berating voice abruptly stopped, and a perplexed expression gradually appeared on his face.
"You … you are … you are …?"
After a full ten breaths of time, Taibai Jinxing's face gradually turned red. His eyes trembled as he looked at Ye Xuan, and he unconsciously took three steps back.
"You don't recognize me after not seeing me for millions of years?" Ye Xuan lightly smiled.
