<h4>Chapter 2590</h4>
It was just Zuo Qing who was shocked, the Ascetic and Elder Zhu were shocked too.
Someone capable of ascending to the third floor of the Divine Abode.
It could be said that Zuo Qing hadn’t met many capable of ascending to the third floor in her entire lifetime. Or it should be said that it had been a very, very long time since someone had gone up there.
But today, she’d been ordered to lead someone to the third floor.
That person was the man by her side.
Yet now, this great figure by her side was actually inviting someone who was merely at the Lord Realm to go up to the third floor with him!
Actually, Yang Ye was quite surprised too because he knew the man before him.
It was the deste race’s patriarch, the Deste Emperor!
He hadn’t expected the Deste Emperor to be here!
The Deste Emperor!
The Deste Emperor smiled, “You’re noting?”
Yang Ye smiled, “Then I shall! But I almost didn’t have the right to stay on the second floor, so the third floor…”
He gazed at Zuo Qing.
The Deste Emperor smiled, “It’s just a single floor. Come on!”
He turned around and walked up to the third floor.
Yang Ye cupped his fist to the Ascetic and Elder Zhu, “I’ll have to excuse myself for a moment.”
He followed the Deste Emperor once he finished speaking.
Zuo Qing seemed hesitant to speak when Yang Ye was ascending the third floor, but she seemed to have received some kind of order. So, she didn’t hesitate to follow respectfully behind Yang Ye.
The third floor was very spacious and only had two tables.
There was a jug of wine waiting on the table, and there were some fruits there too.
All of them were precious fruits. Of course, they were inferior whenpared to a Worldborn Fruit.
The Divine Abode wasn’t rich enough to entertain guests with that!
Only one existence in this world was wealthy enough for that, and it was Snowy!
Yang Ye and the Deste Emperor sat facing each other while Zuo Qing stood respectfully by the side.
The Deste Emperor didn’t ask her to leave.
He grinned and said, “I didn’t expect to see you here. I’m quite surprised.”
Yang Ye replied, “I didn’t expect to see you here either.”
The Deste Emperor took a sip of wine and said, “It’s normal for me to be here, but it’s not very normal for you to be here. So, was it the patriarch of the void spirit race?”
He nced at the surroundings while he spoke, “I don’t sense her presence, and you’re enveloped by a mysterious energy.”
Yang Ye shook his head, “I’m all alone here.”
The Deste Emperor nced at Yang Ye and smiled, “That’s good. You can gain some experience and temper yourself. Anyway, you’re much stronger than before now. Huang Ying may not be a match for you anymore!”
Yang Ye took a sip of wine and said, “I’m sure you didn’t bring me up to the third floor just to say that, right?”
The Deste Emperor said, “I’m afraid the matter between my deste race and the Eternal Kingdom is about to be done once and for all.”
Yang Ye remained silent.
The Deste Emperor gazed at him and smiled, “Alright, let’s not talk about those things. I brought you here mainly to ask you about something. How is that pool of lightning that you took from the Deste World?”
The pool of lightning!
Yang Ye was quite embarrassed. The Deste Emperor had brought him there to temper his body, but he let Snowy take the entire pool of lightning. That wasn’t a very nice thing to do!
The Deste Emperor smiled, “You have that little fellow with you, so they are lucky to be with you. Thus, I didn’t interfere that day.”
Yang Ye chuckled embarrassedly, “They are doing very, very well.”
The Deste Emperor nodded slightly, “That’s good!”
Yang Ye hesitated for a moment and asked, “Senior, this ce seems very special!”
The Deste Emperor grinned, “What do you want to know?”
Yang Ye said, “Please enlighten me.”
The Deste Emperor pondered deeply for a moment and said, “Alright, you can be considered to have the right to know about this ce. This is the Origin of Eternal Kingdom, and it’s thest Origin of a superior universe.”
Yang Ye frowned slightly, “Thest?”
The Deste Emperor smiled, “Thest. In the past, like during the Primordial Times, there were many other universes on par with Eternal Kingdom, but they are gone now. This ce is rtively special because it possesses things that many other ces do not. For example, the Boundless Water. It doesn’t exist in the outside world. Besides that, there are other mysterious existences, and people or treasures that have existed since the Primordial Times or even before that.”
He tapped the table lightly and continued, “It can be said that this ce is the essence of the universe. All ns, people, and organizations with sufficient strength woulde here. The people you can see here are very rarely seen in the outside world, and it’s even to the extent that existences like them may not even exist in an entire world. Every single person here is rarely seen in the outside world.”
Yang Ye smiled, “I’m not rare!”
The Deste Emperor shook his head slightly, “Your current strength cannot be underestimated. Of course, you’re still young, and you still have a ways to go.”
Yang Ye was about to say something when footsteps came from down below, and it didn’t take long for a middle aged man in a violet robe to walk up here. Zuo Qing gazed at him, hurriedly bowed, and then respectfully moved aside.
The middle aged man nced at the Deste Emperor and Yang Ye, and then he walked over to the window. Zuo Qing hurriedly served him a jug of thousand-year-old brew.
Meanwhile, the middle aged man suddenly asked, “You’re the Deste Emperor?”
The Deste Emperor smiled, “Why?”
The middle aged man gazed at him, “I’m just a little curious. I’ve always heard legends about you, but I’ve never met you for myself.”
The Deste Emperor smiled, “You’re the Yin Lord of the Yin World, right?”
The middle aged man nodded slightly, “My wife, Madam Yin, was killed on the bridge. The bridge’s guardian did not say who did it, but I think that even if it’s in a ce like this, very few are able to kill my wife with ease. Of course, you are definitely one of them!”
Madam Yin!
Yang Ye frowned slightly. He wondered if the woman the man was speaking about was the same woman on the bridge who used cold winds! And Yang Ye was shocked to learn that she was dead!
The Deste Emperor shook his head.
The Yin Lord nodded slightly, “I apologize for disturbing you!”
He naturally chose to believe the Deste Emperor because such experts disdained to lie. If they killed someone, they would admit it!
They had their own pride.
Meanwhile, the Yin Lord suddenly gazed at Yang Ye, “My wife came into contact with you before she died, right?”
Yang Ye nodded, “She almost killed me!”
The Yin Lord said, “But she is dead, and you’re alive.”
Yang Ye shrugged, “Do you think I can kill her?”
The Yin Lord gazed at Yang Ye for a long time, “What about your elders? I’ve been following you for a long time, and I didn’t notice anyone protecting you.”
Yang Ye replied, “I came here on my own!”
The Yin Lord grinned, “You don’t have the ability to do so.”
Yang Ye thought for a moment and said, “A person called the Unfettered One sent me here. He’s a sword cultivator too, and he should be in Eternal Kingdom right now. You can go look for him if necessary.”
The Yin Lord took a deep and long nce at Yang Ye, and then he walked toward the stairs. But he stopped right before the stairs and said, “I hope you aren’t lying to me. Otherwise, I’ll kill you no matter where you go!”
He walked down the stairs.
Once he left, the Deste Emperor smiled, “You lied!”
Yang Ye replied indifferently, “He would kill me if I didn’t!”
The Deste Emperor smiled and gazed at Zuo Qing, “How long before it begins?”
She replied softly, “One day!”
The Deste Emperor nodded slightly, “Then I’ll wait!”
Yang Ye asked, “What is it?”
The Deste Emperor smiled, “The Divine Abode obtained a precious treasure, but they cannot uncover its secrets. So, they’ve invited people from all over the universe to try helping them.”
Yang Ye asked, “Aren’t they afraid of being robbed?”
Zuo Qing nced at Yang Ye and remained silent.
“Haha!” The Deste Emperor shook his head and smiled, “It wouldn’t be the Divine Abode if it could be robbed. Kid, you are still too young. Let me exin it like this. Perhaps the joint forces of two experts like me might have a chance at robbing them.”
Zuo Qing nced at him and then remained silent with her head lowered.
Meanwhile, the Deste Emperor nced at Yang Ye, “You should stay too.”
Yang Ye smiled, “I’m afraid I wouldn’t be qualified!”
The Deste Emperor smiled, “You’re the person with the most secrets I’ve ever met. Perhaps you may be able to uncover its secrets. It’s a feeling of mine!”
Yang Ye hesitated for a moment and asked, “Senior, is the Yin World beyond the Eternal Kingdom?”
The Deste Emperor nodded, “There are a myriad of worlds outside Eternal Kingdom. Actually, Eternal Kingdom is part of those worlds. However, they isted themselves. Of course, I know what you wish to know. Some of these worlds remain out in the open, but some are hidden. Even my Deste World used to be hidden in the past.”
He gazed at Yang Ye at this point, “Do you know why my deste race and Eternal Kingdom are not at war yet?”
Yang Ye shook his head.
The Deste Emperor smiled, “Because we must deal with the other worlds. Otherwise, it would be bad if they try to reap the rewards after we start fighting. Besides that, the reason my deste race chose to retreat all those years ago was mostly because the Sprite Progenitor of that time chose to take their side in the end. Moreover, she made some promises to the powerful organizations of all the other worlds. My deste race was forced to retreat because all of these organizations and powers suddenly stepped forward against us.”
Yang Ye nced at the Deste Emperor. While thetter was speaking very calmly as if it was a very normal thing, Yang Ye could sense that he wasn’t calm at all. The Deste Emperor felt very, very dangerous to him at this moment!
The Deste Emperor grinned and took a sip of wine, “If they dare to interfere again, I will abandon the deste race and bury all the worlds with us.”
The world feared the Deste Emperor in the past, and if it wasn’t for the sake of keeping the deste race safe, everyone who interfered in that battle would have died.
For the sake of protecting the deste race, the Deste Emperor had stopped. Because if he fought, he could kill them all, but he would be the only survivor from the deste race!
…
Eternal Kingdom.
Once the Yin Lord stepped foot into Eternal Kingdom, some of the hidden powers here started searching for a sword cultivator known as the Unfettered One. In the end, the entire Eternal Kingdom started searching for him.
Because the Yin Lord sought help from the Eternal Lord!
The Eternal Lord had to give the Yin Lord some face.
Before a mountain wall of unknown name, a sword cultivator seemed to be slightly absent-minded as he stared at it.
There was a line of words on the mountain wall.
A long time passed before the sword cultivator suddenly drew his sword, and then another line of words appeared on the mountain wall, “My thousand-year journey of the sword is at its end, but who can be my match? Sigh!”
