NOVEL NEXT Chapter 767
Since that crisis passed, the Kunlun Realm has returned to its prior order and stability.
This time, the cultivators in the Five Domains are more certain than ever that Ye Tian Emperor is invincible, an unconquerable presence. Under his leadership, the Kunlun Realm is destined to enter an even more prosperous era.
It seems as if the backbone has returned, giving everyone confidence to face any challenge from outside the realm!
This is the strength brought by Ye Tian Emperor!
Celestial Court.
In a pavilion.
“Is what you said true?!” Hearing everything that happened outside, Empress Fuyao stood up, her eyes flashing with a sharp light as she pressed for answers.
To everyone, Empress Fuyao has always been calm and composed, but now, when she heard Xiang Jiba recount the battles in the outer starry skies, she reacted completely differently.
Amidst the shock was a hint of joy, as if she’d just received news from a long-lost friend.
“Senior, I swear it’s true! This is what Master personally witnessed! Now people are talking about it everywhere; they all know that Kunlun Realm has an ancient supreme being protecting it, someone of unparalleled strength, second only to the Creation Saint!”
Xiang Jiba felt a sting in his eyes and avoided Empress Fuyao’s piercing gaze, afraid to meet her eyes, replying hastily.
He only learned about this major news today from his Master, Panlong Wusheng.
Honestly, he couldn’t believe it at first.
If it weren’t for his Master describing it in person, he would have doubted the authenticity of the information.
After all, before the Celestial Court emerged, the Kunlun Realm had always been very backward and weak, previously seen as a prize to be taken by those with the strength to seize it, with no notion of sovereignty.
However, nobody expected that behind this seemingly weak Kunlun Realm, there was a peak expert comparable to the Dao Lord and Buddha Emperor quietly protecting it!
This time, when the Kunlun Realm angered the top ten powerful realms of the Divine Court, while all sides’ leaders wanted to intervene, that peak expert suddenly appeared to stop them, reshaping the entire universe’s understanding.
It turned out that he was one of the Four Absolutes of ancient Kunlun, who had once fallen into a trap set by the Nine Nether, leaving his fate uncertain. Many years had passed, and everyone thought he was no longer in this world. Who would have thought he’d reappear, now at the pinnacle of this starry sky with unfathomable power!
Now, no one dares to underestimate the foundation of the Kunlun Realm again, placing it as the third among the myriad worlds of the Divine Court.
Just one step away from the second rank during its peak!
So, after the shock, Xiang Jiba shared this news with Ye Junlin and Empress Fuyao.
Empress Fuyao had the most significant reaction.
Because she was very familiar with this person, it was Elder Changsheng, who had been on par with her among the Four Absolutes back in the day!
She once thought he was as good as dead, but unexpectedly he was still alive, even stepping up at a critical moment to protect the Kunlun Realm.
This left Empress Fuyao feeling very complicated.
Mostly, she felt like she had dragged him down, putting the burden entirely on her former friend.
But at the same time, she was genuinely happy that Elder Changsheng was still alive.
“Since you’re still here, why don’t you come see me? Even if just for a moment.” Empress Fuyao gazed at the endless sky, her thoughts drifting back to earlier times, murmuring.
But soon, she came to terms with it because she knew Elder Changsheng’s personality; he was always so reserved.
In any case, he must be somewhere, quietly protecting the Kunlun Realm.
“Turns out it was that chaotic outside.”
Ye Junlin rubbed his chin, a strange light in his eyes.
Honestly, if the other guy hadn’t stopped him, he should be at the Saint Ancestor Realm by now, right?
What a shame that this good fortune got interrupted.
Of course.
He was doing it out of goodwill! He didn’t know he had this “sudden trouble” cultivation cheat!
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering an option mission!]
[Option One: Upgrade the sundial to the top level, covering Kunlun Realm for ten thousand years, equating to just a hundred days outside, but the price is that the host will fall into slumber during this period, waking up after the time is up, and receive the ultimate grade Sacred Intent as a reward!]
[Option Two: Guard the Kunlun Realm for ten years during which you can move freely but cannot leave Kunlun Realm, gaining Respect Grade Sacred Intent!]
Suddenly, the system prompt echoed in his mind.
Ye Junlin was stunned, his brain racing, his eyes shining brighter.
The second option seemed decent; shorter time and more freedom, but thinking it through, the first option was way more worth it!
Because the first option enables the sundial to perform a crucial function: ten thousand years equating to just a hundred days outside. It would be a great blessing for the Kunlun Realm, benefitting all beings, and he himself just needed to take a nap to wake up and receive the legendary ultimate grade Sacred Intent!
As for the second option, it was just too small-minded, and the final reward was merely Respect Grade Sacred Intent. The disparity between these two was immense!
Having figured this out, Ye Junlin made up his mind.
He couldn’t imagine how flourishing the Kunlun Realm would be after a thousand years, believing that even if he wasn’t around, the powerful beings that emerged would be able to dominate the myriad worlds, truly creating a radiant era where everyone was like dragons!
“Ye Dao Friend, what’s wrong with you?” Empress Fuyao noticed the reaction of the silver-haired youth, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
“To be honest, I happened to acquire a treasure that can alter the flow of time in this world. My cultivation level has now reached the requirement to officially activate this treasure and cover the entire Kunlun Realm to speed up its development,” Ye Junlin said casually, a serious tone in his voice.
For him, Empress Fuyao was someone he could fully trust, wholly devoted to revitalizing the Kunlun Realm, and while Xiang Jiba was from the outside world, his past experiences had proven that he was honorable and kept his word, also worthy of trust. Otherwise, he would have kicked him out long ago.
Since he was speaking up, there was no need to hide anything; that just wasn’t Ye Junlin’s style.
Boom!
Upon hearing this, Empress Fuyao and Xiang Jiba froze, almost doubting their ears.
What kind of treasure was this that could change the flow of time in the world?
You have to know, if any realm had such a thing, it would definitely rise to prominence!
Empress Fuyao knew Ye Junlin wasn’t joking about something like this, yet disbelief flashed in her eyes because it was the first time she had heard of such a thing.
“Ye Dao Friend, what exactly can your treasure do? Is it reliable?” Empress Fuyao asked, holding back her excitement.
Ye Junlin replied, “It’s absolutely reliable! If I put my all into it, the effect can last for ten thousand years, and only a hundred days will pass outside. This is an effect that all beings in the Kunlun Realm will experience!”
Receiving a positive confirmation, Empress Fuyao’s heart nearly leaped out of her chest, her body trembling slightly, borne from uncontrollable emotions.
Ten thousand years!
Now, the Kunlun Realm was already a mid-tier holy realm, fully unleashing the vast potential hidden in the eternal grade Star Core. At this rate of progress, ten thousand years would definitely allow it to ascend to a large holy realm.
During this time, how many saints would be born? That would absolutely be a massive number!
Similarly, she would also have enough time to reach for new heights, building up to catch up to someone like Elder Changsheng!
After all, the current problem with Kunlun Realm was that its rise had been too short; with ten thousand years, it would definitely be able to truly catch up to the Western Sky Realm and the Primordial World, becoming a super realm at the peak of the holy path!
Most importantly, only a hundred days would have passed outside!
A hundred days!!
The more Empress Fuyao thought about it, the more excited she became, looking at Ye Junlin with a totally different gaze. She couldn’t help but admit that he was truly the master of the revival of the Kunlun Realm, someone she genuinely appreciated and respected!
“You two don’t worry; I absolutely won’t leak this out. I, Xiang, vow on the path!” Xiang Jiba realized the seriousness of the situation and declared without hesitation.
Saying this, he immediately made a vow.
This meant he wouldn’t leak this secret to the outside world, not even to his own Master!
Ye Junlin smiled and patted his shoulder, teasing, “Look at how tense you are; I naturally believe you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have mentioned it in front of you.”
“Thank you!” Xiang Jiba felt touched; this sense of being trusted was just wonderful.
“So… can I stay?”
He then awkwardly spoke up, knowing that with a thousand years here, only a hundred days passed outside—he certainly didn’t want to miss out on this golden opportunity to shorten the gap with his peers.
“Of course you can.”
Ye Junlin replied nonchalantly.
“Awesome!”
Xiang Jiba was quite excited, then suddenly thought of something and said solemnly, “Ye Dao Friend, if the Kunlun Realm faces any difficulties in the future, I will stake my life to help! As long as I’m of use, I won’t hesitate!”
That was his promise!
Ye Junlin chuckled and patted his shoulder, teasing, “Don’t be silly; how could there be difficulties in the Kunlun Realm in the future? This opportunity likely won’t come again!”
“True…” Xiang Jiba was caught off guard, scratching his head and revealing an awkward smile.
At that time, if such a prosperous Kunlun Realm still had difficulties, then he might as well change his name to Ji Ba straight away!
