Chapter 1652 Origin of the Great Wilderness
After saying that, the Human Emperor looked up at the firmaments and sighed. “I’ve got to return. There are still many people on the other side that I have to protect.”
When he heard that, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he asked hurriedly, “Senior, have you heard of the Great Wilderness?”
“Great Wilderness?”
The Human Emperor was slightly stunned before nodding. “The Great Wilderness is one of the upper worlds where ferocious demon beasts roam and are extremely strong. It’s considered as one of the strongest medium chiliocosms in the upper world!”
Su Zimo’s eyes were filled with ecstasy.
Up till this point of his cultivation, he had finally obtained definite news!
The Great Wilderness was one of the medium chiliocosms!
As long as he could ascend to the upper world successfully, he would have a chance to meet Die Yue!
Although Su Zimo was still a distance away from Die Yue, the two of them were getting closer.
Just as he was about to leave, Su Zimo took a deep breath and finally asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time. “Senior Human Emperor, do you know Die Yue?”
“Die Yue?”
The Human Emperor pondered and shook his head.
Su Zimo sighed internally and a look of disappointment flashed through his eyes.
However, he quickly understood.
The upper world was way too huge!
It was formed by a thousand medium chiliocosms and every single medium chiliocosm could accommodate countless Tianhuang Mainlands.
Since the Human Emperor was not in the Great Wilderness, it was only natural that he had not heard of Die Yue.
No matter what, this time round, Su Zimo found out about the origin of the Great Wilderness.
That gave him endless motivation!
Tossing out his palm, the Human Emperor returned the Human Emperor’s Brush to the Palace Guardian and nodded slightly. “Yue Hua, well done. It’s been hard on you to guard the Human Emperor’s Palace all these years as well.”
“The matter of Tianhuang Mainland has come to an end for the time being. It’s time for you to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence. If you drag on for a little more time and your blood qi deteriorates, the chances of you surviving the Tribulation Transcendence will be greatly reduced.”
“Thank you, master,”
The Palace Guardian received the Human Emperor’s Brush and bowed respectfully.
“Is there any candidate for the next Palace Guardian?”
The Human Emperor asked.
He knew very well that there was another important reason why Yue Hua did not undergo the Tribulation Transcendence-he had not found a suitable successor for the Human Emperor’s Palace.
“Not yet,”
The Palace Guardian sighed and shook his head gently.
The successor of the Human Emperor’s Palace did not only require extraordinary talent and terrifying combat strength. More than that, he needed a strong mental state.
Throughout history, there have been many powerful Emperors. However, if most of them were like the Emperors in this generation who only cared about their own cultivation and ignored the safety of the human race, they would not be worthy of being the successor of the Human Emperor’s Palace.
In title, this was just the successor of the Palace Guardian of the Human Emperor’s Palace.
However, in reality, this would also be the successor meant to protect Tianhuang Mainland and the human race!
“I’ll recommend someone to you,”
The Human Emperor shifted his gaze towards the storyteller not far away.
It was an honor to be acknowledged by the Human Emperor!
A rosy glow appeared on the storyteller’s face as he suddenly straightened his body. His essence, qi and spirit seemed to have reached their peak!
All the experts present sighed gently.
All of them could tell that the storyteller was in his final moments of lucidity prior to his death.
Before long, the storyteller would die here!
“He…”
The Palace Guardian said, “Indeed, with his temperament, he can inherit the Human Emperor’s Palace. However, he only comprehended three supreme divine powers. His combat strength is insufficient.”
“Most importantly, he doesn’t have much lifespan left!”
The Palace Guardian gave a look of pity.
The storyteller paid an extremely tragic price for summoning the Human Emperor forcefully this time round and expended all his lifespan!
“Thank you for your high regards, Senior Human Emperor,”
The storyteller smiled. “However, I feel that I don’t have much time left and truly don’t have the strength to inherit the Human Emperor’s Palace. Now that I have received your acknowledgement, I can die without
regrets!”
“Master!”
Lin Xuanji arrived before the storyteller and knelt down.
Initially, it was a joyous matter that the human race was out of danger. However, Lin Xuanji could not bring himself to be happy at the moment.
From the day he acknowledged his master, he had been fooling around with the storyteller.
There had never been any etiquette or hierarchy in front of the storyteller.
If it was any other stiff and traditional cultivator, they would have disowned Lin Xuanji as their disciple a long time ago. However, the storyteller did not take it to heart.
Lin Xuanji had never expressed such emotions in front of the storyteller.
However, at that moment, he knelt in front of the storyteller with tears streaming down his sleeves.
“There’s no need for that,”
The Human Emperor smiled gently. “Ling Long knew that you would exhaust your lifespan by releasing that secret skill. When I descended, she gave me an elixir.”
As he said that, he beckoned to the shimmering crack in the firmaments.
It was only then that everyone noticed a small jade-green bottle floating in the firmaments.
This was something that fell when the Human Emperor’s body was shattered.
However, that scene was way too shocking and nobody noticed the existence of the small bottle.
The small medicine bottle was already filled with cracks-it must have endured an immense impact traveling down from the upper world.
“Thankfully, this small medicine bottle is safe,”
The Human Emperor took out the elixir from the bottle and flicked his finger, sending it before the storyteller. He nodded slightly. “Eat this elixir pill.”
“This elixir pill was refined by Ling Long using immortal herbs of the upper world. It’s an immortal pill that can increase one’s lifespan,” The Human Emperor explained.
“Ah!”
The storyteller’s heart skipped a beat.
In Tianhuang Mainland, once a cultivator was at the Emperor realm, any elixir pill that could increase one’s lifespan no longer had any effect on them.
To think that the Human Emperor would descend with an immortal pill refined by Fairy Ling Long personally!
The Human Emperor replied, “Of course, this immortal pill doesn’t add much lifespan either.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine!”
The storyteller was excited and received the immortal elixir hurriedly, swallowing it in a single mouthful.
For those who were about to die, no matter how little their lifespans were extended, they could at least survive!
Furthermore, there was hope as long as he survived.
At the very least, the storyteller could choose to attempt the Tribulation Transcendence and take the risk!
After a brief pause, the Human Emperor continued, “Of course, it’s only enough to extend your lifespan by tens of thousands years.”
The storyteller was stunned.
Psst!
Gasps could be heard from the crowd as well!
A lifespan extension tens of thousands of
years!
This meant that the storyteller would recover to his peak after consuming this elixir pill!
“Senior Human Emperor sure is bold in his words!”
Little Fatty muttered softly at the side.
Shi Jian let out a look of admiration. “As expected of the Eternal Human Emperor. An increase in lifespan by tens of thousands of years is nothing in his eyes.”
The moment the immortal pill entered the storyteller’s stomach, a terrifying lifeforce burst forth and swept through his body, bloodline, organs and Essence Spirit rapidly!
The storyteller’s white hair fell off and his black hair regrew at a visible speed.
The wrinkles on his face vanished and his beard was gone. He looked absolutely hale and hearty!
Lin Xuanji was stunned and his eyes were filled with tears, completely dumbfounded.
What was going on?
The old man had regained his youth in the blink of an eye and even looked younger than him!
He had cried for nothing?!
“Good disciple, hurry and get up,”
The storyteller looked at Lin Xuanji and said with a smile, his eyes filled with mockery.
“F*ck!”
With a whoosh, Lin Xuanji leaped up from the ground and turned to leave. Without even wiping away the tears on his face, he grit his teeth. “Old man, you have no morals at all! How dare you mock me!”
