Chapter 2123 - 2120: Qing Zhu Emperor General
This...
Is this Ye Xuan?!
A thought rose in the hearts of the eight Great Saints; they didn’t dare to make a move at all.
Too powerful!
They simply couldn’t withstand it.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the Phoenix flew out from the Heavenly Domain Gate.
Then it flew far away...
The eight Great Saints were left dumbfounded for a long time, their faces incredibly pale.
They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Such an existence, let alone them standing guard—it is unlikely that even Great Saints from the Sixth, Seventh, or even Eighth and Ninth Layers could stop it.
Meanwhile.
On the closest ancient Immortal Mountain to the Heavenly Domain Gate within Emperor Mu’s Heaven.
This ancient Immortal Mountain was a lone peak, resembling a straight Divine Sword, with green bamboo covering the summit.
At the topmost point, it seemed to have been directly flattened, leaving a smooth, mirror-like Dao field.
On the Dao field were various Dao Patterns, manifesting a myriad of textures in the air.
These textures allowed one to directly feel the Daoist Rhythm within.
In the center of the Dao field, a tea table was placed.
On both sides were prayer mats.
One prayer mat was empty, while on the other sat a person.
This person wore a long, green robe, with graying temples naturally draping down from his ears.
Yet his appearance seemed to be that of a young man.
The only puzzling thing was that his eyes were green.
Incredibly strange.
The young man lightly waved his hand, and two tea sets appeared on the tea table.
He moved gracefully and amiably, poured tea for the opposite seat, then sat there straight, closing his eyes to meditate.
With each breath, his aura was long and smooth, prompting the surrounding Dao Patterns to flow, driving the operation of the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
If someone had witnessed this scene, they would have been incredibly shocked.
But if anyone were truly here, they wouldn’t be surprised.
Because this was Qingzhu Mountain.
And the owner of this Cave Heaven Blessed Land was none other than Qing Zhu, one of the ten Emperor Generals under Emperor Mu.
A lone ranger.
Apart from Emperor Mu, he had no interaction with other Emperor Generals.
Even when the Revenge Lineage caused chaos in the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Domain last time, Qing Zhu also merely watched as though it had nothing to do with him.
At the moment.
Qing Zhu was still leisurely drinking tea, seemingly unaware of the urgent situation in the Heavenly Domain.
Boom!
In the next moment.
A sudden formidable aura flashed above the firmament.
Right afterwards.
A majestic Phoenix approached rapidly from afar.
When it drew near, it seemed to threaten to overturn the entire Qingzhu Mountain.
The numerous green bamboo on Qingzhu Mountain swayed continuously, with bamboo leaves rustling to the ground.
Yet the Daoist Rhythms on the Dao field were unaffected, continuing their natural, harmonious movements.
Just like Qing Zhu, steady as a mountain.
Facing the terrifying Phoenix, Qing Zhu showed no surprise, even revealing a smile.
Meanwhile.
Outside Qingzhu Mountain, a purely green Big Python raised its head high, looking down with cold green eyes at the Phoenix.
This was the momentum of Qingzhu Mountain.
The force of Heaven and Earth, the force of Dao.
The force of Qing Zhu!
Seated at this place, Qing Zhu was like the wandering Ye Xuan in the Forbidden Land, with no place he cannot go.
The Heavenly Phoenix Emperor stopped steadily outside Qingzhu Mountain, waiting for Emperor Ye to make his way up the mountain.
Ye Xuan slowly descended from the back of the Heavenly Phoenix Emperor, one hand behind him, playing with a Dragon Ball picked up along the way, walking unhurriedly.
This Dragon Ball was enshrined within a major force under Emperor Mu.
It was said to have been bestowed by Emperor Mu.
This major force was so eager to curry favor that they directly renamed their sect to Dragon Ball Sacred Land.
That Dragon Ball was treated as their ancestral treasure by Dragon Ball Sacred Land.
Now.
The ancestral treasure was gone.
Leaving the ancestor of Dragon Ball Sacred Land wailing there.
Behind Ye Xuan.
Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu followed closely like protectors on his left and right.
That Dragon Ball was essentially the handiwork of Qiankun Ancestor.
He went and directly gouged out the Dragon Ball, even killing two ancestors from Dragon Ball Sacred Land who defended it with their lives.
"Tell me, if you had chosen that path, wouldn’t you be an Azure Dragon by now?"
Ye Xuan arrived opposite Qing Zhu, sitting directly on the empty prayer mat with a smile.
Seeing Ye Xuan’s arrival, Qing Zhu stood up, shook his sleeves, and with a solemn expression, bowed formally to Ye Xuan: "Qing Zhu pays respects to Emperor Ye."
"Greetings to both seniors."
Next, Qing Zhu also individually saluted Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu.
Ye Xuan casually tossed the Dragon Ball, regarded as an ancestral treasure by Dragon Ball Sacred Land, into an empty teacup, waving his hand: "Don’t be so ceremonial, or later I won’t feel good about attacking you."
Qing Zhu was silent upon hearing this.
Ye Xuan looked at Qing Zhu, speaking calmly: "Nothing you want to say?"
Qing Zhu opened his mouth, but eventually sighed. In his emerald eyes, there was a hint of melancholy.
Qing Zhu looked at Ye Xuan, speaking solemnly: "Was the incident of that year investigated clearly by Emperor Ye?"
Ye Xuan slightly shook his head: "All you need to know is that those two have betrayed me, and that’s the result."
Qing Zhu hesitated for a moment, finally bowing: "I believe there’s something fishy about this matter, which is why I’ve been investigating it for the past ninety thousand years. However, due to Emperor Mu’s side, I couldn’t do proper investigations, but the only thing I know is that Emperor Mu switched his cultivation techniques afterward..."
By the time he mentioned the last sentence, Qing Zhu’s expression had notably become much heavier.
A Great Emperor.
Why switch cultivation techniques?
Mind that the Great Emperor’s Immortal Skills created by a Great Emperor are the most unbeatable techniques in this world.
Yet Emperor Mu changed his cultivation techniques after becoming an Emperor.
This is highly unusual.
Ye Xuan’s eyes remained calm, speaking slowly: "And hence?"
Qing Zhu offered a wry smile: "It seems Emperor Ye is unwilling to let go."
Ye Xuan said nothing but rather picked up the teacup filled with tea.
Pouring tea to the brim.
Indicates a lack of welcome to the other party’s arrival.
This was Qing Zhu’s stance.
Regardless of having spoken those words.
His attitude remained unchanged.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, choosing not to drink the renowned Qingzhu Sacred Tea, tapping the rim of the cup with his index finger.
Buzz ————
A faint sound.
Then the Qingzhu Sacred Tea in the cup rippled, sending waves out at this moment.
The ripples seemed to ignore the cup, directly spreading in the Void.
Also at this moment, the practically immovable Daoist Rhythms of Heaven and Earth in the face of the powerful pressure from the Heavenly Phoenix Emperor shattered like a mirror meeting an obstacle.
The entire Daoist Rhythm of Qingzhu Mountain became extremely chaotic.
Qing Zhu’s face turned pale as he staggered back two steps, his eyes filled with gravity.
