The old man was momentarily stunned: Sneezing... even with the Lord Sovereign's cultivation level, he can still sneeze?
“Oh.” Snow Tear Cold gave a bitter smile, quickened his pace, and suddenly spoke, “When that person comes up, arrange for the welcoming personnel to guide him to East Extreme Heaven!”
“Yes.” The old man hurriedly replied, and then asked, “Should he be directly guided to the Eastern Emperor Palace?”
Snow Tear Cold said, “Before he has grown his wings, do not let him know what the Eastern Emperor Palace means!”
“Yes, I understand,” the old man replied.
With a sweep of his large sleeve, Snow Tear Cold suddenly vanished, leaving behind a faint, somewhat frustrated sigh: “...Sigh... I forgot he still has a... ultimately, it’s really troublesome…”
And with that, he completely disappeared.
The old man was left staring blankly at the sudden turn of events, hesitating for a long time before he finally shook his head and walked away, sighing as he went. He felt that nothing in his life had ever surprised him as much as what he had witnessed in just half a day in the lower realms.
“Originally, the Lord Sovereign's idea was not to bring him to East Extreme Heaven; but now he has changed his mind... Is he thinking of personally taking care of this guy?” the Prime Minister thought to himself: “Who is this kid, really…”
Beside him, countless people would bow and greet him respectfully whenever they saw the old man's figure, their expressions filled with respect.
The old man, however, seemed oblivious to this, his mouth still muttering as he walked away with a confused expression...
From this point on, a rumor suddenly spread in Nine Heavens Pavilion’s East Extreme Heaven: Did the Lord Sovereign have a disagreement with the Prime Minister and reprimand him? It turned out that a super expert, who shocked Nine Heavens Pavilion, was frightened into a daze... It seems the conflict is quite severe?
Thus, the rumor of 'discontent between the ruler and minister' in East Extreme Heaven quietly spread, having far-reaching effects…
Twelve people arrived at the depths of the forest, and as the host, Young Master Wei naturally led the way to a location that looked extremely desolate.
This spot was indeed much more desolate than other places, with nothing growing within a ten-zhang radius, covered in a thick layer of fallen leaves.
A hint of sadness appeared in Young Master Wei's eyes. With a wave of his hand, the fallen leaves suddenly lifted and flew away, revealing the bare ground beneath.
It seemed that this place used to be a spring, but it had undoubtedly dried up for many years. Maybe a hundred years, maybe a thousand years, or even ten thousand or a hundred thousand years.
“This is the entrance to the City of Spirits. Originally, this was a Heavenly Spirit Spring; the water that bubbled up from here could prolong life and cure all diseases. The reason this Heavenly Spirit Spring could form was because of the mist from the Spring of Life beneath the City of Spirits.”
Young Master Wei's voice was somewhat melancholic: “After the City of Spirits disappeared, the Heavenly Spirit Spring barely held on for three years before it gradually dried up, eventually turning into the state it is in now.”
“The once prosperous elven clan has thus vanished into the dust of time, just like this dried-up spring, with scarcely any vitality.” Young Master Wei sighed towards the sky.
“What should we do now to reopen the City of Spirits?” Chu Yang asked.
“As long as we irrigate the Spring of Life from here, the Spring of Life will naturally sink downwards until it reaches the original spring of the Spring of Life, nurturing the life force inside, and then nourish the adjacent Tree of Life. As the Tree of Life revives, it will inevitably trigger celestial changes and cause the heavenly crystal moonlight to shine upon here. Then the three aspects will cycle endlessly, gradually progressing, thus allowing the City of Spirits to regain its vitality and slowly become strong.”
