Gu Luolin followed Ye Zichen with small, quick steps.
From time to time, she glanced at the tunnel behind them. She could vaguely make out the silhouettes of a few elemental fairies at the entrance. They'd been standing there ever since Ye Zichen left.
Even now, she didn't understand why Ye Zichen had done this. Hadn't they come all this way for the sake of those elemental fairies?
"Are we really leaving, just like that?"
"Mm."
Ye Zichen was rather taciturn. From start to finish, he didn't so much as glance at the fairies.
He knew full well that the fairies could indeed strengthen his five elements. Since they'd transcended good fortune, with them around, Ye Zichen might transcend as well.
It was just that the end of an era meant he couldn't put the entire era in danger. If it was a matter of life and death, the fairies would run into all sorts of problems. It would be better to just ignore them and pretend that they didn't exist to think about how to defend against the enemy.
Along the way, Ye Zichen left a mark.
Following the mark, he and Gu Luolin returned to the entrance to the real room.
The thick stench of blood washed over them. The entire tunnel was dyed red.
Cang Xiong leaned against a stone pillar, hands behind his head, and hummed a tune Ye Zichen didn't understand. Meanwhile, Qinglan stood in a particularly thick puddle of blood. She stared at it and couldn't bear to look at it.
As for the Yao Lord, he'd already caught sight of him.
"It's over?"
Murmured Ye Zichen. Cang Xiong stuck his head out, dusted himself off, and walked up to Ye Zichen.
"Big Brother Qinglan, you're in a bad mood. Watch what you say."
"Little Friend Ye, you're back." Qinglan stepped away from the puddle of blood and said, "I can't sense any of those elemental fairies' auras on you."
"Mm, I didn't bring them with me."
"Then what did you do?" Cang Xiong glared at him.
Ye Zichen glanced at him. His gaze inexplicably made Cang Xiong swallow his next words. Then Ye Zichen turned to Qinglan.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Lan. Go back to the Yao-Sealing Pagoda and get some rest."
Qing Lan nodded and took out a small jade bottle to collect some of the blood on the ground before leaving.
Cang Xiong tried to follow, but Ye Zichen patted him on the shoulder.
"Cang Xiong, I'll have to trouble you for a while longer. If nothing unexpected happens, the people outside are all waiting for me. You don't have to do anything to them. The end of the future era will still require their help.
If I …. "
Before Cang Xiong finished, Ye Zichen spread his fingers.
"Here's your reward.
"Ye Zichen to say, to Ye Zichen, Ye Zichen, and Ye Zichen
"No problem, I will definitely take care of it for you."
At the entrance of the elemental fairies' residence, several elemental fairies sensed that Ye Zichen and co. had already left through their elemental senses.
"To Ye Ye Xian said.
. to to to talk to. to to to to to......
They were the leaders of the five elements, kings capable of manipulating the five elements of heaven and earth.
Gaining their support was the same as gaining the support of the five elements. Everyone had to be careful around them, but Ye Zichen left without so much as a backward glance?
If that was the case, what was he doing here?
"He really left," said the fire elemental fairy.
"We must have angered him. He doesn't want us anymore," said the wind elemental fairy carefully.
"It's all your fault!" Shouted the fire elemental fairy. The electric fairy glared at the fire elemental fairy. "If it weren't for your shitty mouth, would things have turned out this way?"
"If you hadn't been trying to shirk your responsibilities, would I have said all that?" shouted the fire elemental fairy.
"What did we shirk our responsibilities? Isn't that the truth? Aren't you always willing to stick yourself to pretty girls?" scolded the electric fairy.
"Am I not telling the truth?"
The fire elemental and electric fairies stared at each other. At that moment, the water elemental fairy knelt down and muttered,
"What should we do?"
"You're still slacking off. The Star Lord left because he saw you slacking off. He definitely remembered what I said. You skimped on the water barrier, and he felt that you were problematic, so he directly abandoned all five of us? "said the fire elemental fairy.
"What does that have to do with me!?"
"So noisy!"
A sudden rumble sounded out in the sky. The lightning elemental fairy's body flashed with the power of lightning, and she roared angrily.
"None of us are to blame for the situation turning out like this. What's more, this isn't the time for us to argue. We should be more concerned about the fact that the Emperor Star didn't take us out. What about our mission!? "
"Heh, since he's heartless, then don't blame us for being heartless!" the lightning elemental fairy snorted, then waved her hand to leave. The fire elemental fairy grabbed her. "Where are you going?"
"Go find someone else. Do you think we, the five elemental fairies, can't find a host?"
"There's something wrong with your head!" The fire elemental fairy smashed the lightning elemental fairy's head. "Did you forget about the Demon Emperor last time? What's more, where are you going to find that person who is so compatible with the Dao of the Five Elements? Didn't you sense that the Five Elements Laurel is in his hands? "
The lightning elemental fairy's lips twitched, but she said nothing. The fire elemental fairy looked at the other elemental fairies.
"I told you long ago that when he came, we should just follow him!"
"Don't you have any shame? Weren't you the one lying in that girl's arms and not moving?" said the water elemental fairy speechlessly.
"Then I won't delay going with him. Isn't that girl with him?"
"What are you guys doing? Why are you arguing again?" Said the lightning elemental fairy. "Boss is right. That Emperor Star really is compatible with the power of the five elements, and the Five Elements Laurel is in his hands. Don't even think about finding another host."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
The elemental fairies were rather worried. Ye Zichen clearly didn't want to take them with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left so decisively.
"How about we go out and apologize to him?" suggested the wind elemental fairy carefully.
"We're elemental fairies, the emperors of the five elements. Don't you want to lose face?" glared the lightning elemental fairy.
"Then what should we do? As long as someone enters, the mausoleum will disappear in three days."
The other elemental fairies looked at the lightning elemental fairy. No matter what the fire elemental fairy had said, the lightning elemental fairy was still the one who had the final say.
The lightning elemental fairy was quite vexed. They absolutely had to leave before the mausoleum disappeared.
Ye Zichen's power of the five elements was the most compatible. Regardless of whether it was his fate with the elemental fairies or his luck, he was the best choice for them.
Going up to them and apologizing would be too humiliating.
"Let me think about it."
In the real room.
After the Sovereign Emperors left, the Sovereign Realm experts stayed behind, unwilling to give up their evil intentions.
Even now, there were still quite a few emperors in the real room.
Rumble.
Suddenly, a huge sound rang out in the real room. Everyone watched as a door opened behind the white scroll, and Ye Zichen, Gu Luolin, and Cang Xiong walked out.
"The fortune is in his hands!"
The emperors wanted to attack like mad demons, but Ye Zichen didn't so much as blink. Cang Xiong suppressed them with lightning speed before they could even conjure any Dao techniques.
Cang Xiong didn't stop for even a second. Along the way, every single person who showed any hostility towards Ye Zichen was suppressed.
Without the obstruction of the snowy mountains, they passed through them in less than six hours.
"Ye-zi can come out, right?"
Outside the tomb, Yang Jian and the other Imperial Monarchs surrounded the tomb.
The Great Sage and Yang Jian were both former immortals here. Considering that they might have to fight later, they'd set up a barrier around the mausoleum.
This was to prevent the energy from spilling out of their battle and destroying the entire plane.
"Kui Lin really is patient," said Great Emperor Bi 'an.
"Hmph, he's waiting for the fortune of transcendence. Who wouldn't be patient? Come to think of it, it's strange that Zhou Wu, someone so obsessed with transcendence, isn't guarding the mausoleum, "said Su Qingyan.
"It's even better that he's not here. That saves us a lot of trouble," said Great Emperor Bi 'an.
Ye Zichen's friends were all Imperial Emperors, and outstanding ones at that. But even if they didn't want to admit it, they had no choice but to admit that the God, Yao, and Demon Emperors were far stronger than they were.
Whether it was the Demon Emperor Kui Lin, the God Emperor Zhou Wu, or the Yao Emperor Taiyi ….
Even they could hold their own against several emperors on their own. Kui Lin was already giving them a headache. If Zhou Wu joined the fray, it would be hard to guarantee Ye Zichen's safety.
This was especially true for the Ocean Emperor. There was no water around the Howling Valley.
Without the sea, her combat strength would decrease by half!
"Hey, Ye-zi's still alive, right?" The Great Sage couldn't help but glance at Gu Li. Although he didn't want to chat with Gu Li, he was worried about Ye Zichen and couldn't help but ask a few questions.
"He's alive because …."
Gu Li frowned. When the Great Sage, Yang Jian, and Pu Jingwan saw this, their hearts trembled.
"What's that?"
"It seems this guy still hasn't taken the fortune inside."
Gu Li knit his brows. Before coming here, Gu Li had told him many things to do, including what would happen to Ye Zichen after he took the fortune inside.
He glanced at his empty right arm. It'd been so long, but Ye Zichen still hadn't taken the fortune. This didn't match up with what Gu Li had said.
At that moment, a ripple appeared in the air around the mausoleum.
Demon Emperor Kui Lin was the first to rush toward it. The Ocean Emperor and the other great emperors had already locked onto him, but they instantly blocked his path.
"Out of the way!"
