Chapter 1542: Bronze Carriage, Request
Chapter 1542: Chapter 1542: Bronze Carriage, Request
The old man stood seven feet tall, with a lean face that exuded an immortal aura, his cultivation indeed reaching the level of a forty-fold Immortal Emperor, with an elusive presence.
The child appeared three feet tall, a boy.
He was dressed in brocade robes, with a youthful face, yet an extremely strong foundation, bright eyes, and a flame-shaped mark on his forehead, resembling a third eye.
His cultivation level was at the Divine Origin Realm.
This pairing looked like a kind great-grandfather walking with his great-grandson.
"So, it’s a Protector and an ancient prodigy’s reincarnation. What brings you here today?"
Ye Feng asked with a smile.
The Protector was only a forty-fold Immortal Emperor, so if they were seeking peace or cooperation, or merely visiting, there was nothing to worry about.
If they had come with ill intent, Ye Feng was not afraid either.
Though he was currently only at the thirty-eighth layer of the Creation Realm, his true strength far surpassed the usual forty-fold Immortal Emperor, capable of easily defeating them.
The old man clasped his hands and said:
"Sect Master Ye, this old man is the Bronze Celestial Emperor, and this is my disciple, Ding Si. We are here today to visit you."
Visit?
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.
"So it’s the Bronze Celestial Emperor and Ding Si. Since you are here for a visit, please follow me to the Sect Master’s Grand Hall of the Misty Sect, which serves as the reception room."
Ye Feng pointed to the distant Misty Peak.
Nowadays, the Misty Sect towered into the clouds, looking like a primeval mountain, making Ding Si and the Bronze Celestial Emperor feel its extraordinariness from afar.
"Hya!"
The Bronze Celestial Emperor, with Ding Si standing atop the dragon horse pulling his carriage, drove the Bronze Carriage, following Ye Feng into the billowing white clouds.
At the summit of Misty Peak, Sect Master’s Grand Hall.
The Bronze Carriage hovered and stopped.
Ye Feng, the Bronze Celestial Emperor, and Ding Si sat around a tea table, drinking the Enlightenment Tea personally brewed by Princess Hu Feifei.
"Excellent tea!"
The Bronze Celestial Emperor took a small sip and immediately felt his whole body fill with strength, feeling refreshed and with an accelerated insight, although it would last only a short time, it was enough to help him comprehend many laws.
"Is this truly the legendary Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea? It’s as formidable as the rumors say."
Ding Si said in a childish voice.
Ye Feng looked at Ding Si, saying, "This little friend, should I call you little friend or fellow Daoist?"
Ding Si set down the teacup, clasping his hands, "In my previous life, though I had a Sacred Body, I only reached the tenth level Immortal Emperor before choosing to reincarnate. I don’t have the qualification to be your peer, Sect Master Ye. Please call me little friend!"
"Alright." Ye Feng nodded.
"Sect Master Ye, I have an unreasonable request. I wonder if you could help?" The Bronze Celestial Emperor set down his teacup, broaching the subject with a face full of earnest pleading.
"Speak up!" Ye Feng said, "If I can help, I will, but since we’ve just met, I won’t offer help without compensation."
"Haha, we naturally brought gifts."
The Bronze Celestial Emperor took out a large bowl.
Ye Feng immediately let out a soft exclamation.
This bowl was pristine white, crafted from pure jade and could automatically absorb nearby Heavenly and Earthly Elemental Energy, condensing Origin within the bowl.
Only the Bronze Celestial Emperor introduced:
"This is a bowl I crafted from Heaven-Opening Precious Jade during the last Origin Era. It can condense a drop of Origin inside each day. Consuming it can heal injuries, enhance cultivation, and extend lifespan."
"Unfortunately..."
"There is a limit to the lifespan extension from the bowl’s Origin, with no user able to gain more than ten thousand years of life."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng nodded.
This bowl was already quite impressive.
In his opinion, he could help.
"Speak, what is the matter?"
Ye Feng accepted the jade bowl.
The Bronze Celestial Emperor glanced at Ding Si, who immediately stood up, clasped his hands toward Ye Feng, then took off his clothes and turned around, revealing his back.
Ye Feng looked over.
On Ding Si’s back appeared a Buddha statue, but its eyes were eerily dark red. Upon closer inspection, it was a pair of demonic eyes.
[Name: Buddha Demon Statue]
[Grade: Thirty-third Layer Immortal Emperor]
[Description: A Buddha turning demonic, killed thereafter, creating a remnant thought that invades a cultivator’s body to gradually devour their power]
[Note: Harmful]
Upon seeing this, Ye Feng understood.
"Bronze Celestial Emperor, given your level beyond forty-fold Immortal Emperor, how could you not dispel the Buddha Demon Statue?"
The Bronze Celestial Emperor looked very awkward.
"I’ve tried, but without Ding Si having enough cultivation, my methods would certainly erase the Buddha Demon Statue, but at the severe cost of corroding his potential, turning him into a cripple."
As he spoke, he looked helpless.
Ding Si by his side kept sighing.
"When did this happen?" Ye Feng asked.
"In my last life, the reason I reincarnated after achieving the tenth level Immortal Emperor was because my arch-enemy used the Buddha Demon Statue to poisonously attack me, causing my forced demise. Little did I expect that after reincarnation, the Buddha Demon Statue would follow me to this lifetime too."
Ding Si explained.
"I see." Ye Feng nodded, "I can cure your condition, but just with the bowl, it’s somewhat lacking!"
"I can offer the Bronze Carriage!"
The Bronze Celestial Emperor gritted his teeth.
Ding Si was his future; nurturing Ding Si into a top-level powerhouse was the only way for the Bronze Celestial Emperor to break through.
For the future, he was willing to give up the Bronze Carriage.
Ye Feng looked at the Bronze Carriage and waved his hand, "I don’t want this carriage."
"Then what do you want?" The Bronze Celestial Emperor was surprised and quickly asked.
"Agree to a condition of mine." Ye Feng said.
"What condition?" The Bronze Celestial Emperor pursued the question.
"I haven’t thought of it yet, but rest assured, I won’t make you do anything against your Dao heart. In the meantime, if you’re willing, reside in Whitefloat City. When I’ve thought of it, I’ll let you know."
Ye Feng added, "If I never come up with something for you, it might even become void."
"Such a condition exists?"
The Bronze Celestial Emperor was taken aback, "Alright, I agree. From now on, Ding Si and I will reside in Whitefloat City and practice peacefully here."
"Good." Ye Feng nodded, "I will now personally erase the Buddha Demon Statue from Ding Si. If luck permits, he might absorb its power and see a drastic increase in cultivation."
"Really?"
The Bronze Celestial Emperor and Ding Si were overjoyed.
"Indeed." Ye Feng took out a stockpiled Great Pan Peach from his microcosm, handing it to Ding Si, "Eat this first to ascend to One-Turn Quasi-Saint. During your breakthrough is the best time to erase the Buddha Demon Statue."
"Great Pan Peach!"
Ding Si was ecstatic.
Crunch!
He took big bites of the Great Pan Peach, making the Bronze Celestial Emperor next to him a bit envious.
As Ding Si consumed the Great Pan Peach, he immediately felt his cultivation soar, breaking through dozens of levels in succession.
Boom!
In the depths of his consciousness, thunder rumbled.
As Ding Si absorbed the power of the Buddha Demon Statue, not only did his cultivation surpass the One-Turn Quasi-Saint, but he also awakened a pair of powerful eyes.
"Really?"
The Bronze Celestial Emperor and Ding Si were overjoyed.
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded, "From this day forward, reside in Whitefloat City, please!"
"Yes."
Both Ding Si and the Bronze Celestial Emperor nodded in unison.
