Chapter 572: Reunion after a long separation
With a sigh, the Spirit Emperor shook his head and said:
" I know the identity of this fellow Taoist . He is an old acquaintance of mine. He is someone I must deal with with caution, so I have to come out of seclusion."
"Sister Liu, go and invite Fairy Nangong and the others. I will go to greet this Taoist friend!"
As she spoke, Tian Miao Ling Huang's figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, without a trace. No one present could notice how she left.
Seeing this scene, Liu Qing sighed inwardly. If the Spirit Emperor could survive this great heavenly tribulation, there would probably be a great hope for him to reach the Mahayana stage.
But it is extremely difficult to survive it successfully. After all, this is the twenty-fourth great heavenly tribulation. There are not many combined cultivators in the history of human race who can survive so many great heavenly tribulations.
Tianmiao Linghuang and Xuanwu Bahuang were already among the three emperors of the human race during the last demonic calamity. They have been in the late stage of fusion for tens of thousands of years. One can imagine how profound their skills are.
It is conceivable how terrible the bottleneck of the Mahayana period is, which makes even the most outstanding people among the human race unable to break through.
Thinking of this, Liu Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then flew out of the palace to find Fairy Nangong and others.
However, she was somewhat confused as to why the Spirit Emperor invited these people here. Could it be that this suddenly appearing peak fusion expert had any relationship with Fairy Nangong and the others?
Thinking back to the time when the Spirit Emperor asked her to investigate Nangong Wan and others, Liu Qing seemed to understand something.
Lord Ling Huang has won over a powerful person at the peak of the fusion level by protecting Nangong Wan and others?
Could this person be the successor chosen by Lord Spiritual Emperor?
Just as Liu Qing was flying towards the palace where Nangong Wan and others lived with full of doubts, Nangong Wan and others also came out of their respective residences, gathered together, frowned and felt the powerful aura in the distance.
"Sister Nangong, this aura... why do I feel it is somewhat familiar?" A hint of doubt appeared on Yuan Yao's pretty face, and she looked into the distance with some uncertainty.
"I have the same feeling. Why does this aura resemble my husband..." Nangong Wan's face showed hesitation, as if she couldn't believe it.
No matter how bizarre their fantasies were, they could not believe that such a powerful aura belonged to Ye Changsheng. After all, this aura was far beyond that of an ordinary fusion cultivator.
Even though they were very confident in Ye Changsheng's cultivation, they felt that his current cultivation level should at most be at the peak of the Refinement Realm or the Fusion Realm, and it was definitely impossible for him to reach such a shocking realm as the late Fusion Realm.
"Such a familiar aura, even if it's not my husband, it must be someone related to my husband. We should go over and take a look!" Ling Yuling said.
"Yes, that's right!" As the girls echoed, a ray of light flew quickly and Liu Qing's figure appeared in front of them.
"Senior Liu, what are you doing..." When Nangong Wan and the others saw Liu Qing's figure, their hearts immediately skipped a beat, and they seemed to vaguely realize something.
"Lord Linghuang asked me to invite you over. It seems that someone related to you has come to Linghuang City!" Liu Qing said to the girls with a complicated expression.
Upon hearing this, the girls looked at each other, with a hint of disbelief and surprise quietly emerging in their eyes.
After Ye Changsheng released his aura, he flew towards the direction of Linghuang City at a leisurely pace. When he was less than a hundred miles away from the towering tree, the light shield covering the tree in front of him flashed, and a door appeared in front of him, and then figures flew out from the door.
The person in the lead, wearing a white dress, looked like a fairy, and her cultivation seemed to be at the peak of the fusion level.
There were several figures behind him, a fusion cultivator and several void-refining cultivators.
Ye Changsheng did not recognize the woman in the lead, but when he saw her, he sensed a familiar aura.
He didn't need to think too much to know where this familiar feeling came from, so he laughed, cupped his hands, and said:
"Fairy Miaoyu, it must have been hundreds of years since we last met!"
That’s right, this woman is the mysterious woman Miaoyu whom Ye Changsheng met outside Tianyuan City. Ye Changsheng once explored Master Qianbao’s cave with her and went to Yubi City.
At that time, Miaoyu looked like just an ordinary Void-Refining cultivator. There was nothing extraordinary about her either in terms of strength or appearance. However, in his interactions with her, Ye Changsheng had already discovered something unusual about her.
Moreover, later in Yubi City, when the Shengyuan clan's combined cultivator saw Miaoyu, he obviously regarded her as a cultivator of the same level. At that time, Ye Changsheng vaguely guessed that Miaoyu's true identity was most likely Tianmiao Linghuang, the most mysterious figure among the Three Emperors.
Now that they met, it was indeed true. Although the two of them had very different appearances and figures, there was not much difference in their auras.
I think that Miaoyu, who was in the Nascent Soul stage at that time, should have been a puppet of the Spiritual Emperor. After all, this Spiritual Emperor was known to be the best puppeteer of the human race. It should be easy for him to create a puppet whose identity could not be identified.
The gorgeous woman opposite smiled sweetly upon hearing this and said softly:
"It turns out that Brother Ye had already seen through my identity at that time. I thought I had concealed it well!"
The conversation between the two shocked the high-ranking officials of Linghuang City behind Linghuang, but they also felt relieved at the same time.
It turns out that this newly appeared cultivator at the peak of the fusion stage is an old acquaintance of the Spirit Emperor. This is very good. It seems that this person is not here to cause trouble!
After Ye Changsheng confirmed the other party's identity, he did not beat around the bush and asked directly, "I heard that all of Ye's family members have come to Linghuang City?"
"Yes, after the alien siege of Tianyuan City ended, I arranged for them to come here. Not long ago, Elder Gu from Tianyuan City sent me a message telling me about Brother Ye. I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw Brother Ye appear today, I had to believe it!"
The Spiritual Emperor said this with a complicated expression on his face, and there was still a hint of shock in his eyes.
How could she have imagined that he was just a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation stage more than 600 years ago, but today he has suddenly become an existence at the same level as her. This is too incredible!
In the history of human race, there has never been anyone who can cultivate so quickly. After all, this is not a low level realm like Jindan or Yuanying, but a high level realm like Lianxu Heti.
In fact, Ling Huang herself still values Ye Changsheng very much, and this degree of importance exceeds that of any other person she has ever met before.
During his contact with Ye Changsheng, the Spirit Emperor concluded that he would have the hope of advancing to the fusion stage in the future, and that this time would not be too long.
It was for this reason that she went to inquire about Ye Changsheng's news after returning from Yubi City. When she learned that Ye Changsheng's fellow Taoists were in Tianyuan City, she immediately invited them over.
The purpose of her doing this was of course to win over Ye Changsheng. Why not pay a small price to gain the favor of someone who has a high probability of becoming a fusion cultivator?
And if she made a mistake and Ye Changsheng eventually died in the wilderness, it didn't matter. The qualifications of Nangong Wan and other girls were also very good and worthy of her training. She would definitely not lose out.
This was Ling Huang’s original idea, but even though she valued Ye Changsheng so much, she could not have imagined that Ye Changsheng could achieve such success today!
Seeing the look in her eyes, Ye Changsheng knew what she was thinking. With a faint smile on his face, Ye Changsheng said:
"It's just luck that Ye has achieved this level of cultivation today!"
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Emperor thought to himself, everyone is lucky to be able to cultivate to this level, but your luck is a little too good.
She shook her head, suppressed the shock in her heart, and said sideways: "Brother Ye, please come in. I have asked someone to invite Fairy Nangong and others. I believe you will be able to meet again soon!"
"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist!" Ye Changsheng felt excited and flew forward. He entered the Holy Tree of Heavenly Spirit with Ling Huang and others and flew to a palace.
The Spiritual Emperor brought Ye Changsheng into the hall. After a while, several streams of light from a distance flew towards this side rapidly. Ye Changsheng took a look and immediately felt the familiar aura in the streams of light.
Nangong Wan, Ling Yuling, Bai Yaoyi, Yuan Yao, and one more...Xu Qianyu, she is here too.
Sensing the auras of the women, Ye Changsheng couldn't stay here any longer. He suppressed his excitement, turned his head and bowed to the Spirit Emperor and said:
"I will remember your kindness in protecting them, and I will repay you in the future. Now I will take my leave!"
The Spiritual Emperor, who knew his mood, smiled and said, "Brother Ye, just go ahead. When you have some free time, I will treat you to tea!"
Ye Changsheng bowed, turned around and flew out. From afar, he saw the pretty faces in the rays of light.
The surprise and excitement on his face and the tears of joy made Ye Changsheng's heart also excited. He immediately jumped over and greeted the girls.
Liu Qing was very tactful and had left quietly at some point, leaving only Ye Changsheng and others in the area.
Xu Qianyu was a little hesitant and didn't dare to move forward. She slowed down a bit and fell behind the four women in front.
Nangong Wan, Ling Yuling and others had no taboos at all, they rushed forward with red eyes.
"Husband!"
"Husband, you are finally back!"
"Husband, we have waited for so many years, and finally you are here!"
…
Sweet cries rang out, and a fragrant breeze blew over. In the blink of an eye, Ye Changsheng was surrounded by four girls, who threw themselves on him. They couldn't help but cry with joy and talked in low voices.
For a while, the place was bustling with beautiful girls. Seeing the husband they had been thinking about day and night appear, even though the girls were not love-sick little women, they still couldn't help but lose their composure and their joy and excitement overflowed.
Ye Changsheng had a gentle smile on his face. He stroked their cheeks, wiped away their tears, ran his fingers through their soft hair , and held them in his arms.
However, there were still too many women present, and he was more or less overwhelmed. If he met each of them individually, Ye Changsheng would be able to pour out all the sweet words and tenderness he had accumulated in his heart according to their personalities.
In this situation, he was a little flustered and some words were difficult to say.
On the contrary, he also has to pay attention to his attitude towards each woman, trying to be fair and just. He cannot say a few more or a few less words to any one of them, and he has to consider the words he chooses for each one.
After all, women are still very sensitive, especially when they meet again after a long separation, they will pay special attention to words, body movements and the like.
If you show excessive concern for one of them, the others will definitely think that in your heart, they are not as important as that woman.
How could Ye Changsheng, who has always been philanthropic and claimed that he would treat every woman equally, make such a mistake?
So after he exchanged a few words with Nangong Wan, he immediately asked Ling Yuling a few questions with concern. After Yuan Yao lay on his chest and sobbed for a while, he immediately and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Bai Yaoyi's eyes.
Finally, he did not forget to show a warm smile to Xu Qianyu, who was embarrassed and didn't know whether to leave or stay. He said a few words to her with concern, which eased her embarrassment and gave her a reasonable reason to stay here.
It was broad daylight and it was not appropriate for me to be so affectionate in such a public place, so not long after, Ye Changsheng and the girls returned to the palace where they lived.
In an attic, Ye Changsheng and others sat around a table, with Nangong Wan and Yuan Yao sitting on both sides of him, and Ling Yuling and Bai Yaoyi sitting opposite him.
As for Xu Qianyu, after arriving here, she naturally didn't feel comfortable to continue following, and went to another place with a slightly melancholy look on her face.
Across from him, Ling Yuling looked at him with sweet eyes and said happily, "Husband, you are finally back. If you don't come back, we sisters will consider going into the wilderness to look for you!"
"Yes, we plan to enter the wild world to track down your trace after we all break through the refining realm!" Yuan Yao also said with a smile.
The four girls are now at the peak of the Spirit Transformation realm and have not yet broken through to the Void Refinement stage. However, it seems that they have the ability to break through the Void Refinement bottleneck.
"Nonsense, the wild world is so dangerous, how dare you have such thoughts?" Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng immediately scolded in pretended anger.
Nangong Wan smiled lightly and said softly: "You can't blame us sisters for this matter. My husband, you have been gone for hundreds of years, and we have been worried about your safety all the time!"
"Yes, we didn't know that you were so powerful, my husband, and you had cultivated directly to the peak of fusion. We thought you were suffering in the wilderness!" Bai Yaoyi smiled and said softly.
After the surprise of meeting each other, the girls began to feel a little resentful. After all, being separated for hundreds of years was not easy.
Ye Changsheng chuckled and changed the subject: "I will tell you about my experiences in the wilderness when I have the chance. But I am very concerned about your experiences in the human world and what you encountered after your ascension!"
