The Venerable of Numinous Treasure sat cross-legged with a stalk of grass in his mouth, but his body didn't touch the ground. He was still a certain distance from it.
He cocked his head and looked at Ye Zichen. Yang Jian, the Great Sage, and Pu Jingwan were surely by his side.
After all this time, they'd long since become inseparable.
"What's he mumbling about? I'm very busy."
"Big Bro, just behave yourself. If Big Sister Xiang finds you, will you be happy?" reminded Yang Jian.
When he thought of Xuan-Yuan Xiang, the Venerable of Numinous Treasure couldn't help but shudder.
He rubbed his nose and said, "Then what on earth is he doing? It's already been an hour."
"Maybe he's contacting the Queen Mother." The Great Sage glanced at him. "Before coming here, Ye said the Queen Mother was looking for him. You might not know who she is, right? I have no choice but to tell you the story of how I wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court …."
"Just shut up. In the end, Rulai still suppressed him beneath the Five Elements Mountain," sneered Yang Jian.
"Looking for trouble?" The Great Sage's eyes widened.
"Can't you two just calm down for a bit? I'm getting tired of watching you two bicker every day." Pu Jingwan was speechless. In the blink of an eye, the Great Sage and Yang Jian were allies.
"Aiya, let's be careful. If Jingwan gets upset and goes looking for the Divine Rain, we won't be able to beat her."
"I know, right? She's proficient in the Three Great Daos. I'm afraid …."
So long as Yang Jian and the Great Sage were around, it wouldn't be too quiet. Although they kept pestering Ye Zichen, he pretended not to hear them. He was completely absorbed in his conversation with the Queen Mother.
They were currently on the Northern Divine Mountain.
Xuan Ji had asked Ye Zichen what his plans were, and he'd said he had too many plans. Coming to the Northern Divine Mountain to see the Demon Emperor was his first priority.
However, on the way, he received a letter from the Queen Mother regarding his previous proposal to transfer management to the Heavenly Palace and Underworld. The Queen Mother had agreed.
Without any hesitation, he contacted Wei Jie and told him to send the management to the Lower Realms through Xuan Ji or one of the other emperors. When the time came, the Queen Mother would naturally send someone to pick them up. However, after arriving at the Northern Divine Mountain, she found him again.
That was why the Venerable One of Numinous Treasures had to wait for an hour.
Only Idealism: The spiritual power in the Heavenly Palace has been fluctuating a lot lately?
Queen Mother of the West: It started three days ago, but I just felt it. It was Wu Gang who told me that it started three days ago. He has been cutting trees in the Moon Palace, so he can feel the movement of the tree very clearly.
Only Idealism: What kind of fluctuation is this?
Queen Mother of the West: This is hard to describe. However, if you look carefully with your naked eye, you can clearly see that there are ripples in the void space.
Queen Mother of the West: I think this ripple might be related to the ascension of so many people from the Heavenly Palace, Underworld, and Immortal Region.
Idealism: "I don't rule out that possibility."
In truth, given the circumstances, Ye Zichen should've immediately descended to investigate. However, he had to deal with the old Demon Emperor first before heading down.
In his plan, he would go to the lower world after the old Demon Emperor.
It was just that the news given by the Queen Mother was too sudden. There was actually a strange energy fluctuation in the Lower Realm recently.
Only Idealism: Don't worry, Queen Mother of the West. I'll send someone over to investigate. I still have some important matters to take care of. Once I'm done, I'll head over myself and investigate.
Queen Mother of the West: Thank you, Emperor Ye.
Only Idealism: It's no problem! I've already sent someone to manage them. Just send someone to pick them up. They're all members of the Upheaval Alliance. All you need to do is ask if they're from the Upheaval Alliance and confirm.
Queen Mother: Alright. Since Emperor Ye has important matters to attend to, I won't disturb you any longer.
Queen Mother: If you can find the Profound Maiden of the Nine Heavens, tell her to tell me she's safe. She's lived by my side since she was a child. She's like a daughter to me. I miss her so much that she suddenly ascended.
Only Idealism: No problem. So long as I can find the Profound Maiden of the Nine Heavens, I'll have her contact you.
Ye Zichen's conversation with the Queen Mother ended here. He closed the chat window and contacted Xiao Yumei. He told her to send a ruler or above to the Lower Three Realms to investigate the spiritual fluctuations.
Then he contacted Wei Jie and increased the search for ascenders from the Heavenly Palace, Underworld, Immortal Region, and Endless Beast Region.
Once he'd taken care of everything, he put his phone back in his pocket. Only then did he realize that Pu Jingwan was chasing Yang Jian and the Great Sage around in circles.
Ever since Pu Jingwan confessed her love for him, Yang Jian and the Great Sage had formed a rare alliance.
They shared a common hatred for Pu Jingwan, and they'd teased her every now and then.
"Alliance Head Ye, are you done with your work?" The Venerable of Numinous Treasure, who'd just slandered Ye Zichen for wasting time, no longer looked impatient. Instead, he smiled obsequiously and approached Ye Zichen.
"I've delayed you, Venerable." Ye Zichen cupped his hands respectfully. "It's no problem. I've lived for far too long. Even a hundred years or a thousand years pass by in the blink of an eye. Your business is far more important. Waiting for me isn't a big deal at all. " The Venerable of Numinous Treasure's expression had changed completely. He smiled warmly, and Ye Zichen nodded kindly.
Ye Zichen nodded, then frowned at Pu Jingwan and the others. "Stop messing around."
"Big Sister Pu, don't chase after them. Ye-zi's looking for us!" Yang Jian and the Great Sage yelled as they ran up to Ye Zichen. Pu Jingwan chased after them angrily and raised her hand, but Ye Zichen stopped her. "Alright, don't bother with them. It's not like you don't know what their personalities are like."
Suddenly, Pu Jingwan's face reddened.
"Let go."
Only then did Ye Zichen realize that he was holding Pu Jingwan's hand. Come to think of it, this was the first time he'd ever consciously reached out to grab her.
He thought back to the way Pu Jingwan had looked at him that day, and what she'd said.
Ye Zichen hurriedly let go, coughed, then cupped his hands at the Venerable of Numinous Treasure.
"Venerable, let's go in!"
"Have you thought it through?"
The Venerable of Numinous Treasure asked. They were currently in front of the Xue Family's dungeons. The Venerable of Numinous Treasure had been stationed here this entire time to keep an eye on the Demon Emperor on the third floor.
Before Ye Zichen and the others arrived, the Demon Emperor was still in a bad mood.
The Venerable of Numinous Treasure had already told Ye Zichen exactly what was going on inside, but he still insisted on going in.
"I've thought it through." Ye Zichen nodded.
