Chapter 108 The Emperor Returns
Chapter 108 The Emperor Returns
After two days of non-stop speeding on the immortal boat, Emperor Yun Che and his entourage finally passed through layers of clouds and mist and once again set foot on the familiar yet mysterious peak of the Nine Heavens.
Their destination was the Biluo Palace, which was suspended in the void and looked like a fairyland.
This palace is not only a treasure above the nine heavens, but also a holy place that countless immortal cultivators dream of.
This journey home was a little more bumpy than before.
The reason was that while they were traveling in the fairy boat, they were suddenly attacked by a monster.
The monster was huge and exuded a frightening demonic aura. It was obviously not an ordinary creature.
However, this battle also consumed a lot of their time.
According to the original plan, they should have been able to arrive at the Biluo Palace ahead of schedule, but now they are delayed because of this accident.
Despite this, when the immortal boat finally passed through the last layer of clouds and mist, and the majestic and magnificent Biluo Palace came into view, everyone's fatigue seemed to be swept away.
They looked at the palace, their hearts filled with awe and longing.
They are finally home, what a wonderful feeling!
……
Emperor Yun Che, dressed in a dazzling array of gorgeous clothes, stepped on the void, like a god descending from heaven.
He waved his sleeve lightly, and a majestic dragon emerged from the clouds. The dragon's body was covered with dazzling golden scales, its eyes were bright and powerful, and it looked majestic.
Yun Che stepped on the dragon’s back. The dragon raised its head to the sky and let out a long roar. Then it flapped its wings and flew high into the sky, piercing through the vast sky and rushing towards the Spirit Beast Valley.
The Spirit Beast Valley is a mysterious place where all kinds of rare and exotic animals from all over the world gather. The valley is filled with spiritual energy and vitality.
Yun Che's purpose in this trip was to visit his two close friends, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu.
As the giant dragon gradually approached the Spirit Beast Valley, the spirit beasts in the valley seemed to sense Yun Che's presence and poked their heads out, gazing at this distinguished guest with gentle yet awe-inspiring eyes.
The giant dragon slowly landed on an open field. Yun Che gently jumped off the dragon's back. The dragon's eyes were slightly closed, as if it was enjoying the tranquility and harmony of this land.
In the quiet and mysterious pool in the forest on the back mountain, a huge ancient rock that has experienced the vicissitudes of life stands proudly, like a silent guardian, quietly witnessing the passage of time.
On the huge rock, two powerful men, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu, were concentrating with their eyes closed, immersed in the profound realm of cultivation.
Their breathing was long and deep, blending with the natural atmosphere around them, as if they were weaving a legendary chapter together with this ancient forest, this boulder, and the clear pool.
In this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu suddenly felt a sense of connection. A powerful and familiar aura slowly came from the direction of the Spirit Beast Valley.
That is the unique aura belonging to the Emperor.
Suddenly, an indescribable joy and excitement welled up in their hearts, as if they saw the dawn of hope in the darkness, or as if a long drought had finally brought rain, nourishing their dry hearts.
Without any hesitation, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu immediately opened their tightly closed eyes, with determination and expectation flashing in their eyes.
Tan Yuan looked at Yan Wu, his eyes filled with a hint of anticipation and anxiety, and said softly, "It's been five days, and the Emperor is finally back.
This long wait filled my heart with desire and curiosity about Jin Xi's trial in Lingshan Academy.
When we meet the Emperor later, we will definitely ask him in detail about everything Jin Xi experienced in that trial ground."
His words revealed his deep concern and expectations for Jin Xi.
Upon hearing this, Yan Wu nodded slightly, with determination and pride shining in his eyes.
She responded softly, "Yuan, Jin Xi is our common child and the pride of our hearts.
His trials at Lingshan Academy will surely demonstrate his extraordinary talent and perseverance.
Let's go meet the Emperor together and hear about Jin Xi's glorious achievements in that trial ground."
As they spoke, the two smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and trust between them became even deeper at this moment.
They flashed and jumped down from the boulder, like two light lightning bolts, shuttling through the dense forest.
Their cries echoed through the valley, filled with sincerity and admiration: "Emperor! Emperor! You have finally returned!"
They searched everywhere for the Emperor's figure, each step filled with eagerness and desire.
In this ancient forest, they seemed to have transformed into two messengers in pursuit of light, trying their best to chase the figure that made them feel awe and yearning.
All of this stems from their deep respect and endless expectations for the Emperor.
Under the bright moonlight, Tan Yuan held Yan Wu's warm and soft hand tightly and walked slowly in the deep and mysterious forest in the back mountain.
Their eyes looked around, through the mottled shadows of the trees, across the winding paths, and from time to time they called out to the Emperor. Their voices echoed in the silent night forest, carrying a hint of eagerness and expectation.
Suddenly, Yan Wu stopped and a look of sudden realization flashed in her eyes, as if she remembered something important.
"Yuan, look at my memory. I forget everything when I get excited."
She said softly, with a hint of playfulness in her tone,
"Don't you have that magical flute? If you blow it, the Emperor will surely come upon hearing the sound, and we won't have to go through so much trouble searching everywhere."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yuan couldn't help but smile gently.
He gently patted the back of Yanwu's hand to show comfort and understanding.
"Yeah, how could I have forgotten about this."
The two smiled at each other, and then decided to find a quiet pavilion to sit down, and set out fine wine and spiritual fruits to congratulate the Emperor on his return.
They passed through a dense bamboo forest and came to a small and elegant pavilion.
The pavilion is surrounded by blooming peach blossoms, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of peach blossoms, which is refreshing.
They placed several exquisite wine glasses and a bottle of long-treasured peach blossom wine in the pavilion.
The wine was as clear as spring water, and its aroma was so fragrant that it seemed to be able to intoxicate the soul.
Under the soft and clear moonlight, Tan Yuan sat quietly beside the quaint and elegant pavilion. His figure was gently wrapped in silver light, appearing particularly peaceful and profound.
He slowly stretched out his hand, and in his palm, an exquisite flute quietly emerged, as if blending into the night, emitting a faint warm luster.
Tan Yuan gently placed the flute to his lips and took a deep breath. Then, a melodious and graceful flute sound floated in the quiet night.
The sound of the flute is sometimes like the gurgling of a spring, delicate and soft; sometimes like the breeze blowing on your face, light and elegant.
Sometimes it sounds like the singing of hundreds of birds, cheerful and enthusiastic.
Every note contains deep emotion, as if telling an ancient and beautiful story.
At this moment, Yan Wu was sitting upright on a stone chair in the pavilion, his hands supporting his cheeks, staring intently at Tan Yuan, his face filled with intoxication and admiration.
She nodded gently from time to time as the flute music rose and fell, as if she was having a silent conversation with the beautiful melody.
When the flute music reached its climax, Yan Wu couldn't help but praise him: "Yuan, your flute sounds more and more beautiful. Every note seems to flow from the bottom of your heart, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves."
Her voice was clear and pleasant, complementing Tan Yuan's flute, adding a touch of liveliness and harmony to the quiet night.
The two of them were immersed in the world of music, forgetting the passage of time, leaving only the melodious flute sounds and laughter, echoing for a long time in the moonlight.
Emperor Yun Che's figure flashed, like the brightest meteor in the night sky, and instantly descended into the ancient and elegant pavilion.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering, his eyes filled with amusement and laughter, and said softly, "You two are in such a good mood. In this quiet and elegant pavilion, one of you plays the flute and expresses your feelings, while the other listens quietly and enjoys the music. I am truly enviable."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yuan gently removed his fingers from the flute holes, and the melodious flute sound came to an abrupt end like the gurgling of a stream.
He stood up, bowed slightly, his face filled with a respectful and sincere smile, and said, "Congratulations to the Emperor on his return..."
Yan Wu also stood up, smiling broadly, his eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.
She walked lightly to Yun Che's side and said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat. Tan Yuan and I have specially prepared the finest peach blossom wine and fresh spiritual fruits for you. I hope you enjoy them."
As she spoke, she pointed to the exquisite wine jug and fruit plate placed on the stone table. The peach blossom wine was crystal clear and fragrant; the spiritual fruit was colorful and mouth-watering.
Yun Che glanced at the delicacies on the stone table, a faint smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.
He waved his hand, his tone somewhat carefree and casual: "You two should enjoy it."
Yan Wu looked anxious, her eyes gleaming with concern. She hurriedly asked, "Is Jin Xi doing well in Lingshan Academy? Has she encountered any troubles or difficulties adapting?"
Yun Che nodded gently upon hearing this. His voice was gentle yet firm, as if carrying a soothing force: "Well, it's good.
Jin Xi is doing well at Lingshan Academy. You two should relax and don't worry too much. Just practice hard and improve your strength."
Afterwards, two black pills gleaming with a faint glow appeared out of thin air in Yun Che's palm, as if being pulled by some mysterious force.
He gently handed the two pills to Yan Wu in front of him, his eyes filled with solemnity and depth.
"Yanwu, these two pills are enhanced versions of contraceptive pills. Each one contains a hundred years of amazing efficacy."
Yun Che's voice was deep and magnetic, and every word seemed to contain unspeakable power. "I am about to go into seclusion to practice..."
Yan Wu stretched out his hands and carefully took the two black pills.
Her eyes flickered over the pill, a hint of surprise and emotion flashing in them: "This time, the pill's effect lasts so long! Emperor, you're so considerate of me, I feel a little embarrassed."
Yun Che smiled faintly, that smile carrying a hint of ridicule and helplessness: "Yan Wu, don't say that.
I don't want to have to perform a caesarean section on you after I come out of seclusion, or even have to take care of the child for both of you.
You must remember to take this contraceptive pill, don't let me down."
At that moment, Tan Yuan seemed to be touched by an invisible force. His knees bent involuntarily and he fell to the ground in an instant, his face full of sincerity and gratitude.
He raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination. His voice trembled slightly, yet it was filled with deep gratitude as he spoke, "Your Majesty's great kindness and virtue will be etched in our hearts and will never be forgotten."
"Yan Wu and I are willing to protect this Biluo Palace to the death, to protect this sacred place in our hearts.
Don't let any threats get close to the Emperor and every inch of land in this palace.
Our loyalty will shine like the stars and will never go out."
"Get up."
Yun Che said softly,
"I already know your intentions, just practice well."
Tan Yuan stood up and looked at Yun Che with a determined look, "Thank you, Emperor."
Yun Che sighed softly, a trace of helplessness and emotion flashing across his eyes, and he slowly said, "For the past hundred years, I have had to carefully teach my disciples while also taking care of the children for you two. The trivialities and hardships involved have truly delayed a lot of my time for cultivation.
I could have devoted myself to cultivation and the pursuit of a higher realm, but now I am often hindered by these mundane affairs."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wu burst into laughter, his laughter full of ridicule and mockery: "Haha, Emperor, you really don't know how to appreciate your blessings!
You practice with Sister Wan every day, and that kind of sweetness and tacit understanding is what many people wish for.
Why, you still think it's not enough, and you even sent her to Lingshan College, so far away from you, isn't this asking for the pain of missing you? "
There was a hint of joking in Yan Wu's words, but he also revealed his envy of the deep relationship between Yun Che and Sister Wan.
He knew very well that although Yun Che complained, he could not let go of his love and concern for Sister Wan in his heart.
Sending Sister Wan to Lingshan College might also be out of consideration for her growth and future, but only Yun Che himself knows the bitterness and joy involved.
"Alright, I'm going to go into seclusion."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared into the night sky like a shooting star, leaving only the melodious flute sounds and joyful laughter echoing in the pavilion.
