Mei Ling and the others entered the room together. What they saw was the normal pavilion, with beautiful decorations... some of the workers were cleaning the ground of the dead bodies of shadow creatures, while performers were performing on the stage, and a gentle young man with a divine face was sitting at a seat. Beside him was another handsome man also emitting an extraordinary aura, while a child was eating food.
Looking at that beautiful man, Bai Liuli froze. Her whole body shook in fear. She had met Immortal Sovereigns before, but even an Immortal Sovereign had never felt this deep and terrifying in her eyes.
She immediately bowed, and alongside her everyone else did the same.
"Junior Mei Ling, Bai Liuli, Xiao Yu, and the other elders of the Jade Serenity Palace greet Your Highnesses..."
Huai just nodded, then looked at Bai Liuli directly while taking a cup that Wuhe filled for him from the table. "Bai Liuli? Good name! Good name!"
Bai Liuli showed her genuine smile. "Your Highness! In front of you everything fades. Even my name is a little trinket in front of you..."
Others looked at Bai Liuli in horror. Even an immortal addressing that person with courtesy means he is even more powerful than an immortal?
Mei Ling also looked at Huai with horrified eyes.
Huai didn't say anything. He just looked at little Xiao Yu hiding behind Mei Ling, peeking at Huai from time to time. Huai smiled at her... and gestured for her to come before him with his hand. But Xiao Yu didn't move at all.
Huai chuckled. "Lin Yu! Come here..."
This time, not only Mei Ling but Xiao Yu also became dumbfounded. That name, how did this person know that name? It was Xiao Yu's real name. After joining the Jade Serenity Palace, Mei Ling had changed her name.
Mei Ling asked warily, "Your Highness! If you don't take any offense, can you please tell me how you know that name?"
Xiao Yu also came out from behind.
Huai didn't say anything. He just waved his hand, and a projection of a handsome young man appeared in front of everyone... wearing a white sect uniform, an Eternal token hanging from his waist.
Xiao Yu's eyes immediately became teary. She ran toward the projection, looked at the figure carefully, then stammered slowly, "Brother! Is it my brother, Lin Feng?"
She looked at Huai with that question. Mei Ling immediately came toward her and rubbed her head. "Xiao Yu! How is it possible? Isn't your brother already dead? I think you made some mistake?"
Xiao Yu shook her head frantically, pointed her finger toward the picture, and said while crying, "No, I'm sure he is my brother!"
Huai chuckled at this moment. "You're right, Lin Yu! Your brother is a disciple of my Eternal Sect. He has been searching for you everywhere for the last few years..."
Xiao Yu immediately became happy. "My... my brother is alive?" She smiled with every ounce of her power. Huai nodded.
But on the other side, hearing the name Eternal Sect, everyone froze. Mei Ling, as a council member of the Fourteen Sovereigns of humanity, knew well about the Eternal Sect, it had suddenly appeared a few days ago and gained the holy title from the Nexus.
And the most important thing is, the person who is the sect leader of that sect is The Divine Physician.
Mei Ling looked at Huai and asked, stammering, "Are... are you the Divine Physician?"
Huai nodded nonchalantly. But again, this time even the people who had stayed there before and everyone in the hall except Bai Liuli, Wuhe, and Yan, bowed toward him. "We were blind to not see your presence, Your Highness, the Divine Physician."
Huai waved his hand, and a gentle force helped everyone stand up.
After everyone stood up, Bai Liuli said, "Your Highness! Thank you for saving my life... if you didn't save me in time, maybe I'd have died in a few years..."
Huai waved his hand while saying, "Don't worry about that little poison. Even the poison was crookedly made... I didn't need to use much of my aura to cleanse it."
Bai Liuli became dumbfounded. That poison almost cost her her life, even an Immortal Sovereign-level medicines didn't work for her, and this person is saying that it didn't take much of his aura...
She didn't say anything, just stood there thinking about it, while Huai said at this moment seriously, "I wanted to ask you something!"
Bai Liuli nodded, then looked at the people around them and said in worry, "But, Your Highness! This contains the secret of the Immortal World. I don't want them to know about it..."
Huai nodded and stood up, then came toward little Xiao Yu. He rubbed her head once and said, "I'll tell your brother that I found you. He'll come to meet you soon..." She became happy immediately.
Then with Wuhe and Bai Liuli, he disappeared from the pavilion. Yan was still eating nonchalantly without looking at anyone...
Seeing Mei Ling standing there dumbfounded, he said, "Hey girl, bring me some food. My plate is empty..."
Mei Ling pointed her finger toward herself. She is one of the powerful human sovereigns of humanity, and no one ever talked to her like that... She chuckled, wanting to scold this little boy. Although she couldn't do anything to Huai or the person beside him... she could take care of this young man...
She looked at Yan coldly, but the next moment a terrifying dragon phantom appeared behind Yan. The pressure made everyone in the room thump to the ground as if a mountain was pressing against their heads... only Xiao Yu was standing alone. She looked at her master in worry...
Mei Ling looked at Yan in horror. She remembered the details in the Human Federation about the Dragon Ancestor. She asked while gritting her teeth, "Are... are you the Dragon Ancestor?"
Yan chuckled and the pressure was gone in seconds... although he couldn't get his whole cultivation back, with his aura alone he could subdue any Galaxy Sovereign not in its peak realm.
Yan said, looking at Mei Ling, "Little girl! You were not there 10,000 years ago when I was a peak Galaxy Sovereign on the verge of breaking through to the Immortal Realm... so be careful before showing hostility towards strangers..."
Mei Ling almost cried. She cursed Yan in her head, 'It was you who provoked me. I can't even fight against a 12-year-old now... am I even a Galaxy Sovereign?'
She stood up and immediately went with Leng Yuehua to fill the plates for Yan...
Xiao Yu got close to Yan while he was eating... looking at the food in front.
Yan chuckled, "You're that chicken's sister?"
Xiao Yu tilted her head in confusion. What chicken?
Yan shook his head and said, "Sit down! Eat anything you want. Your master will bring back more food..."
Xiao Yu immediately became happy and started waiting while sitting. The other elders looked at their Holy Saintess eating with the Dragon Ancestor and sighed... After a few minutes Mei Ling brought many foods with her. Everyone looked at her in pity...
***
On the other side, Huai, Wuhe, and Bai Liuli appeared in a completely different place, where everything was covered with beautiful mist, changing colors from time to time. Those colors were even different from any humans could ever see... beautiful. From time to time, many phantoms of millions of mythical creatures appeared in the miasma.
In this place, standing alone, were two different mountains. One was extremely ordinary and small, only filled with some mortal trees. This was the mountain Huai always spent his time on at Earth. He always came to this summit to see the sunrise and sunset... In this world, the atmosphere was also at the time of sunset.
On the other side was the extraordinary mountain. Wuhe immediately understood what this place was. This was the mountain where he met Huai in this life... Same trees, same time for sunrise... yes, on this mountain it was the time of sunrise.
Wuhe looked at Huai in confusion. Why did Huai bring them to this place? But this was not the real mountain at all... at least the divine qi emitting from this place was not from Blue Star at all.
Huai took them to a place on the mountain with the sunrise. A beautiful courtyard appeared in front of them.
Wuhe became surprised again. 'Is this the courtyard where we spent our night together? Is this where Huai showed me his extraordinary swordsmanship?' he thought in his heart.
Yes, after a few minutes of walking, they came before a lake with beautiful lilies, and the air was covered with countless rose petals... it was the swordsmanship Huai had shown him last time.
Wuhe looked at Huai in confusion.
At this moment, Bai Liuli asked warily, because the moment she appeared here she felt even more fear toward Huai. This place was even more terrifying than their Immortal Realm... she asked, "Your Highness! Where are we? This is not the Immortal Realm... the qi here..."
Before she could continue, Huai answered, "This is my inner world. You wanted privacy, and this is the best place for that..." He looked at her.
On the other side, Wuhe became dumbfounded. Inner world! It's Huai's inner world! But why did he create those places inside his inner world? This question continuously appeared in his head...
Bai Liuli looked at Huai with wide eyes. She asked, "Your... Your Highness! You're not from the Immortal Realm?"
Huai nodded in answer. "I don't know anything about your Immortal Realm! That's why I wanted to ask you something."
Bai Liuli asked, terrified, "My lord! Which realm are you at right now?"
Huai said nonchalantly, "Divine Sovereign peak."
She looked at Huai in horror. 'Divine Realm! The realm above the Immortal Realm. Even immortals dream of that realm, never able to reach it in their whole life, and... and I'm standing before a being from that realm?'
She asked, stammering, "Your... Your Highness! What are you doing here in this lower plane..."
Huai shook his head and said, "I have some work to do here, that's why I'm here... but I wanted to know why beings from the Immortal Realm are lurking in this lower realm? What are you guys trying to do?"
Bai Liuli sighed. Although the truth was not good for the people on this plane, she couldn't hide it right now, at least not in front of this Divine being...
She said, "Actually, these lower realms are called the playground of Immortals."
Huai and Wuhe both frowned at Bai Liuli.
Playground? What playground? Playing with lower-level creatures?
