Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1441: A Wish from 100,000 Years Ago
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
An instant.
The nine powerhouses of the Star Ancient Divine Sect were all subdued by the mysterious attack that appeared in the void.
The ground of the Goddess Palace was shockingly shattered, creating a massive depression as the nine powerhouses lay prostrate on the ground, overwhelmed by a pressure they couldn’t even lift their heads against.
Only the Master of the Star Ancient Divine Sect could lift his head.
Within the void.
The shadow, like a Black Dragon, vanished without a trace.
Nangong Jade, with a cold demeanor, walked over with hands behind her back.
Her eyes shone sharply as she asked word by word, "Master, are you exploiting my newly appointed position as the Goddess of Ancient, with my unstable foundation, to come and accuse the Ancient God Religion?"
"I misjudged the situation... "
The Master of the Star Ancient Divine Sect closed his eyes, feeling a strong sense of defeat, sighed deeply, and said, "Since there are God Emperor Territory Powerhouses as Protectors, our defeat is not unjust..."
"Hehe, rare indeed."
Nangong Jade laughed meaningfully.
The people of the Star Ancient clan have always been hot-tempered, with very hard mouths, yet now the Master of the Star Ancient Divine Sect has openly admitted defeat.
It can be seen how powerful the deterrent of Little Flower’s intervention was.
"I take back my words and am willing to compensate for all losses to your sect..."
The Master of the Star Ancient Divine Sect opened his eyes and said frankly.
"That’s good, after all, the three sects are as one, always valuing peace, and minor disputes typically don’t harm harmony!"
Nangong Jade smiled slightly, thus defining the nature of the situation.
Little Flower silently withdrew the pressure.
In that instant, the nine powerhouses of the Star Ancient Divine Sect felt their bodies lighten and stood up straight one by one.
They looked at Nangong Jade, their eyes showing a respectful and awe-inspiring gaze.
"Goddess of Ancient, please accept this token of sincerity..."
The Master of the Star Ancient Divine Sect took out a storage ring, respectfully handing it to Nangong Jade.
Nangong Jade glanced at it, smiling brightly as she accepted it.
"Let’s leave..." The Master of the Star Ancient Divine Sect waved his hand, preparing to lead the eight Vice Sect Hierarchs out of the Goddess Palace.
"Hold on."
Nangong Jade suddenly stopped the nine.
"Goddess of Ancient, are you worried... that we will publicize the identity of your Protector?"
The Master of the Star Ancient Divine Sect showed a wry smile, raised his hand solemnly and said, "Rest assured, we will swear by the Heavenly Dao never to leak even the slightest news about that Senior of Divine Emperor Realm!"
"The Master is wise and decent."
Nangong Jade smiled meaningfully, her mind easing.
Then.
The nine swore to the Heavenly Dao, then left the Goddess Palace.
"Nangong girl, I’ll accompany you for a while in the Goddess Palace, and once you break through to the God Emperor Realm, I’ll tour the Ancient Realm..."
Ye Yun stepped out from the void, smiling as he looked at Nangong Jade.
Nangong Jade smiled playfully, "Brother Yun, shall I be your guide?"
"No need, Nangong girl.
Your Ancient Realm has some places I’m interested in, exploring them alone will be more interesting; besides, you are now the Goddess of Ancient, need to handle sect matters, and usually busy..."
Ye Yun smiled and shook his head.
The next place he planned to visit was the Slaughter Emperor Gate.
This place is not suitable to bring Nangong Jade, the Goddess of Ancient.
"Brother Yun!"
Nangong Jade’s eyes reddened, suddenly rushing like the wind, hugging Ye Yun tightly.
"What’s this for?
Nangong girl, it’s not like we are parting forever, even if one day I return to the Divine Land, can’t I come to the Ancient Realm whenever I want?"
Ye Yun was slightly stunned, patting Nangong Jade’s back, smiling in comfort.
Hearing these words, Nangong Jade’s tears surged and she started sobbing.
Ye Yun was somewhat bewildered.
Women’s hearts are like needles in the sea.
This little girl Nangong Jade, is she trying to use the bitter flesh trick?
Thinking that by doing this, she could keep him in the Goddess Palace of the Ancient God Religion?
That won’t work.
Although Ye Yun liked Nangong Jade a lot, whether ten thousand years ago or now, he wouldn’t give up a forest for a single tree.
Moreover.
Ten thousand years later, what he seeks now is not the beauty of the forest, but the true purpose behind the Dragon Clan’s destruction and to capture the real culprit behind it.
After crying for a while.
Nangong Jade’s sobbing gradually ceased.
She lifted her tear-stained face, looked at Ye Yun’s charming face, and couldn’t help but gently stroke it with her hand.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Yun couldn’t help but laugh, holding down Nangong Jade’s hand to stop her movement.
"Brother Yun, do you know what my wish was ten thousand years ago?"
Nangong Jade looked dazed, murmuring to herself.
"What was it?"
Ye Yun asked.
"After you fell back then, I regretted too deeply, regretting not having given birth to a child for you, causing Brother Yun to always lack descendants..."
Nangong Jade sighed.
Hearing this, Ye Yun’s expression became peculiar.
This little girl, her biggest regret was not having a child for him?
What kind of regret is that?
Not just Nangong Jade, Ye Yun has so many confidantes, yet none bore a child either.
Back then, he possessed the Dragon God Bloodline with very high concentration, resulting in a drastically reduced fertility rate.
No matter how much effort, the hope of fruitful results remained elusive.
Thus, Ye Yun had long abandoned the idea of passing on his lineage.
Anyway, after signing in ten thousand years later, he is eternally alive.
Having descendants was something he never contemplated.
Looking at the pitiful Nangong Jade, Ye Yun softened in heart and also sighed gently.
"Silly girl, why put yourself through this?"
Ye Yun spoke softly.
He is different from ten thousand years ago; now possessing the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, the fertility rate is horrifyingly low.
It’s nearly impossible to propagate offspring.
"Brother Yun, I really fear that one day you might leave us, and back then, if I had given birth to a child for you, perhaps it could give me the courage to keep living..."
Nangong Jade, teary-eyed, spoke with deep sentiment.
"This is impossible, you know my body..."
Ye Yun began explaining, but suddenly his mouth was covered by Nangong Jade’s small hand.
"Brother Yun, we must strive, where there’s a will, there’s a way!"
Nangong Jade blushed, shyly smiling.
A layer of red gauze appeared out of thin air, isolating all prying eyes.
Ye Yun was helpless.
He could only wave his hand, retrieving the Dragon Tree and Little Flower from afar.
Little Flower’s cultivation base was relatively high, rendering the red gauze ineffective.
...
Alone pitying the wild grass born by the stream, upon which orioles sing in deep trees.
Spring tides accompanied by rain rush in the evening, while the wild crossing lies deserted, a boat horizontal.
A line of poetry, leaves nothing unsaid.
...
Time flies, three months later.
Nangong Jade successfully broke through to the God Emperor Realm, while Ye Yun left the Ancient God Religion, embarking on a journey of exploration.
After departing the Ancient God Religion.
Ye Yun waved his hand, summoning the Dragon Tree again.
Little Flower wasn’t used for the time being, so she didn’t appear.
"Buddha Lord."
Upon seeing Ye Yun, the Dragon Tree immediately clasped his hands respectfully.
"You are the Formless Tree, one of the four Great Divine Trees of the Ancient God Realm, now back in the Ancient Realm, it could be considered returning home; though your memory is fragmented, I hope during our travels we can help you recollect some useful clues..."
Ye Yun gazed at the distant ethereal clouds, smiling faintly.
"Yes, Buddha Lord."
The Dragon Tree smiled and nodded in agreement.
Though his Buddhist Law was gradually deepening, it wasn’t devoid of emotions, he still harbors inner sentiments.
Upon arriving in the Ancient Realm, the Dragon Tree frequently felt emotional waves.
He also hopes to piece his fragmented memories back together, finding the places where he once lived in the Ancient Realm.
...
A Celestial Boat carrying two people flew into the distance.
Though the location of the Slaughter Emperor Gate is unknown, it poses no difficulty for Ye Yun.
He is not in any hurry for now.
In Ye Yun’s plan, they first travel with the Dragon Tree for some time, hoping to find some minor clues.
