Transcendence.
This was a realm above rulers, a supreme realm.
Throughout the long river of history, only the First Era's Lord of the Stars had succeeded in reaching this level. This level was unheard of in the Third Era.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but be stunned by Qing Lan's calm tone. He couldn't believe that this expert, who looked just like an Imperial Emperor, was so confident that he could save his life in the face of a transcendence expert.
"Brat, what's wrong with you? You don't believe Big Brother Lan?"
Cang Xiong swung his fist and charged forward. Even though he did not feel any divine power being injected into his fist, the space around him was as fragile as a piece of paper. Coupled with his bulging eyes, which were as wide as copper bells, it was truly a frightening sight to behold.
Cang Xiong wasn't trying to pick a fight. When Ye Zichen heard Qing Lan's explanation, a hint of disbelief flashed through his eyes.
This was very difficult to conceal. When one clearly knew that the Transcendence Realm was a supreme realm, and an Imperial Monarch actually told one that he could save one's life when facing the Transcendence Realm, one would feel that the Imperial Monarch was boasting shamelessly.
"Cang Xiong!"
"You don't know how to appreciate favors."
As soon as Qing Lan glared at him, Cang Xiong snorted angrily and lowered his fist. In the end, Cang Xiong even cursed him. Qing Lan was displeased.
"Little Friend Ye, it's fine if you don't believe me. Besides, it's far too difficult to become a transcendence expert. Little Friend Ye, you only need to remember that we'll help you out once. Anything else is not for you to worry about, "Qing Lan smiled at Ye Zichen, giving him a good impression of her.
When he heard this response, Ye Zichen swallowed his questions about how he could be so confident.
However, Ye Zichen wasn't completely unconvinced. Since he'd said that, there was no reason for him to be so confident. Besides, it was just as he'd said: encountering transcendence experts was far too difficult. If he called them out when he was in dire straits, who knew? Who knew?
The green-clothed Qing Lan cupped his hands together toward Qing Lan and spoke with a mellow smile.
"Before I came here, I heard that you're here for the God Emperor's Tomb's key fragment?"
"That's right." Ye Zichen's expression instantly froze. "Senior, may I ask if you have the key fragment?"
"You have to …"
Before Qing Lan could speak, Ye Zichen noticed a flash of light from the corner of his eye.
After that, he sensed a stream of air assaulting him from behind. This stream of air felt like it had been formed by a sharp object piercing through space. However, this sharp object was too fast, to the point that he was unable to react before it had already arrived at his back.
This was the Yao-Sealing Pagoda!
All the demon servants in the pagoda regarded him as their leader. Although the two demon emperors, Qing Lan and Cang Xiong, were not as subservient as the previous demon servants, they would not plot against him.
At this moment, someone actually wanted to kill him!
The Qi in his body instantly condensed into an astral wall. Everything was as he had sensed. There was indeed a sharp weapon coming at him from behind, but the sharpness of the weapon was far beyond his imagination. The astral wall he condensed was pierced through in an instant.
"Xuanyuan!"
Ye Zichen roared inwardly. The Xuan-Yuan Sword instantly appeared on his back, but before it could leave its scabbard, Qinglan had already reached behind him and firmly grabbed the sharp weapon.
After all, whether it was Ye Zichen condensing an astral wall or summoning the Xuan-Yuan Sword, everything happened in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint.
However, the azure-robed expert in front of him moved even faster than his thoughts.
"This guy …" Qinglan shook his head and smiled wryly. Cang Xiong snorted, "That fire bird did something I've always wanted to do but never dared!"
A fire bird!
It was obvious that the fire bird Cang Xiong spoke of was a yao from the fourth floor of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, and had yet to show its face. Combined with what he'd just said, it seemed that this fire bird really did want to kill him!
"Don't spout nonsense."
Qinglan glared at Cang Xiong, then glanced at the northwest building.
"You're not going to come out and meet me?" "I might as well not meet you!" A voice suddenly echoed through the air. "And here I thought the successor of the Five Elements would be an extraordinary genius, but it seems that's all there is to it. How disappointing. Qinglan and Cang Xiong agreed to help you, but don't think that I'll do the same. If you were an extraordinary genius, then forget it.
Such a mediocre person …. isn't worthy of my help. "
"....."
Ye Zichen stood in the middle of the bamboo garden, speechless. He'd never said how monstrous his talent was, but even amongst the God, Yao, and Demon Races, he was a genius.
He'd broken through to ruler in a hundred years. Any family would devote all of their resources to nurturing someone like that.
The great emperors often praised him. Although Ye Zichen knew that was a bit of a compliment, he couldn't deny that his talent was extraordinary.
When he'd first ascended the Divine Mountains, didn't he get a crystal card with the word "Absolute" on it?
But now that they were on the fourth floor of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, they were clearly yao servants bound by the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Ye Zichen, as the pagoda's owner, could be considered their master in name. Yet, they'd insulted him to the point of no return.
They didn't know how to appreciate favors.
They were nothing more than that.
Mediocre people.
Unworthy of fighting.
Ye Zichen was truly curious. Why on earth had the Five Elements Great Emperor captured these arrogant fellows when he was alive?
Was he here to make trouble for his descendants?
Or perhaps the Five Elements Great Emperor had never even considered the possibility of his death? He'd wanted to recruit these yao servants while he was still alive, but his luck had run out and he'd fallen at Zhou Wu's hands?
"Third Zu, you're going a bit too far, aren't you?" laughed Qinglan.
"I've always said what I wanted to say. Mediocre people are mediocre people. Just because he's the owner of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, do I have to bow and scrape up to him? Not even the Five Elements Great Emperor could do that, let alone a useless brat like him. "
"I …."
He had to endure!
Even a clay figurine had a temper, and Ye Zichen was the Emperor Star's Lord.
Ye Zichen was infuriated to hear the yao servants criticize him so thoroughly, but he had to admit one thing: his cultivation really wasn't as high as the yao emperors on the fourth floor.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he'd never shown his face, given that he was on equal footing with Qinglan and Cang Xiong, he obviously had some strength.
Their goal here was to retrieve the key fragment. If they wanted to spout nonsense, so be it. At most, they'd never see each other again.
"Third Zu, that's enough," said Qinglan, trying to smooth things over.
"Hmph!" The voice transmission in the void was followed by another cold snort. "I can't be bothered to speak to such a mediocre person. I've already given you the key fragment of the God Emperor's tomb that Wuxing gave me before he died. Don't disturb my cultivation in the future. I don't care if you live or die, but don't bother me.
