Azure seas, blue skies, green mountains, and clear waters.
He was finally out.
As he looked at the clear skies and thought back to his experiences, Ye Zichen inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.
In the end, he hadn't gone to see the old Demon Emperor.
His reason was laughably simple: he was afraid of death!
A human's life could be lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. Ye Zichen could sacrifice himself, and he could do it without hesitation. But if there was no value in dying, he wouldn't do it.
He had far too many things to take care of, and he had to deal with the unknown Demon Emperor.
He didn't dare take the risk!
That heavy pressure made it hard for him to breathe. He'd thought he'd met enough experts, but after running into the Venerable of Numinous Treasure and the enraged Demon Emperor, he realized how narrow-minded he'd been.
He believed that in the vast Three Realms of Gods, Yao, and Demons, there would surely be even more powerful existences hidden from the world.
He just didn't know how the Great Sage was doing!
Before entering the third floor, Ye Zichen was worried about the Great Sage's condition. He'd seen how grievous his injuries were.
Little did he know, Yang Jian and the others, who'd brought the Great Sage out to treat his injuries, were right outside the dungeon. As soon as Ye Zichen appeared, they approached. However, only Yang Jian and Pu Jingwan were present. The Great Sage was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Zichen looked around carefully, but couldn't find any trace of the Great Sage.
When he looked at Yang Jian and Pu Jingwan's expressions, they didn't seem worried in the slightest.
"How come it's just the two of you? Where's the Great Sage? Why aren't you with him? How are his injuries?"
"He …."
"I, Ol 'Sun, am here!"
Before Yang Jian could finish speaking, a familiar, resonant cry reverberated through the sky.
The Great Sage, standing atop an auspicious cloud, tumbled down from the sky. He didn't look injured in the slightest.
"What's going on?"
Ye Zichen was dumbfounded. He'd clearly seen the Great Sage gravely injured, and he looked dispirited. It'd only been six hours. Even a divine pill couldn't heal him this quickly.
Could it be Su Yan?
As soon as the thought occurred to him, Ye Zichen dismissed it. Su Yan was still on the Tenth Divine Mountain. She'd used up too much of her godhead's divine power to save the Outsiders. Given how much Su Liu 'er doted on her, there was no way she'd let her do anything.
Besides, there was no way she would know that the Great Sage was heavily injured, since she was far away on the Tenth Divine Mountain.
The Hermit Emperor was no longer in the Sea of Innocence. The Great Sage's recovery was truly strange.
"You've recovered?" Ye Zichen was shocked.
"Heh, I, Old Sun, am very energetic now." The Great Sage grinned and patted his chest loudly. Yang Jian curled his lips and said, "He really is a stone monkey. At first, I thought it would be good if he died just like that. Who knew that this guy's life is so tough. He's alive and kicking in less than an hour."
"His cultivation seems to have increased a bit," said Pu Jingwan.
"My son, if I, Old Sun, were to die just like this, wouldn't you lose a good father like me? In order to see you grow up, I, Old Sun, will have to live on well and fight to see you die before me!" The Great Sage laughed.
"Stop and shut up, you can."
Yang Jian rolled his eyes and ignored him. "We wanted to go in and find you, but as soon as we entered the second floor, the Demon Emperor's aura prevented us from taking even half a step further. We had no choice but to come out and wait for you."
Ye Zichen didn't really care about that. He cared more about the Great Sage's injuries.
Ye Zichen nodded in response, then walked up to the Great Sage's side and placed his fingers on his pulse.
The Great Sage knew what Ye Zichen was going to do, so he didn't resist in the slightest. He simply let Ye Zichen's divine power flow through his body.
"Strange!"
Before long, Ye Zichen lowered his hand and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Isn't that right? I, Old Sun, am doing just fine."
The Great Sage laughed. Yang Jian said, "We've also investigated the monkey's condition, but to our surprise, his cells are far more active than before, and his divine power is even more abundant."
Ye Zichen nodded. The results of his investigation were exactly as Yang Jian had said.
By now, the Great Sage's cells were as lively as if he'd just gotten a freshman class. His divine power seemed to have been cleansed as well, becoming incomparably pure.
It was truly a spectacle, but the way Ye Zichen saw it, it wasn't necessarily a good sign.
He'd have to wait until they met the Hermit Emperor and have him examine him properly.
"Right, Ye-zi, how come you're the only one who came out? Did the Demon Emperor see you?" asked Yang Jian.
"I didn't, but I sent the Venerable of Numinous Treasure. He said he could speak briefly with the Demon Emperor on my behalf," said Ye Zichen. "I don't trust the Venerable of Numinous Treasure." Yang Jian's expression darkened. "That guy's always hard to read. I was already worried when he said he'd take you with him, and now he's the one going to see the Demon Emperor. Didn't they say the Demon Emperor hates yao the most? He's a yao too, right? What gives him the right to see the Demon Emperor?
How can he meet the Demon Emperor? Furthermore, the way this dungeon is acting right now is a little too peaceful. "
Before Yang Jian even finished speaking, the dungeon suddenly emanated a turbulent aura.
Since the dungeon was protected by seals, the aura it emitted had already weakened considerably. However, judging from the outside, it was clear that there was a battle going on inside.
The only people who could be weakened so much and still be detected were naturally the Venerable of Numinous Treasure and the Demon Emperor!
"Isn't that a slap in the face?" Laughed the Great Sage. "I just suspected Numinous Treasure, and then they started fighting. Isn't that a slap in the face? I don't think there's anything wrong with the Venerable of Numinous Treasure. He suits my tastes. "
"Isn't that because you two share the same interests?" Yang Jian curled his lips.
"Can't we share the same interests?" The Great Sage rolled his eyes. "Also, be more polite when you speak to me. Right now, I feel like my body has an endless supply of energy. If I hit you, heh …. I'm afraid your tiny body won't be able to withstand my torment."
After being injured, the Great Sage's cultivation had risen. Yang Jian wasn't stupid enough to fight him head-on.
Yang Jian ignored the Great Sage's mockery, crossed his arms, and sensed the fluctuations emanating from the dungeon. He couldn't help but shake his head.
"I still don't think this guy can be trusted."
Yang Jian didn't respond. The Great Sage was somewhat bored, so he ran off to the side to play with his phone. Pu Jingwan looked at Yang Jian with a strange expression.
"It's rare for you to be so sure of someone."
"A man's sixth sense is super accurate!"
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, still staring at the dungeon. From the moment he'd laid eyes on the Venerable of Numinous Treasure, he'd sensed something strange about him. Thinking back to his interactions with Ye Zichen, it was obvious he'd done it on purpose.
