#429 - Chapter 428: Peach Blossoms in Full Bloom!
This was the first time Tao Hong had ever seen such a magnificent world!
Jade towers and pavilions, picturesque mountains and rivers, it was grand to the extreme, with her vision unable to even see the end of this sect!
The countless disciples of the Supreme Emperor Palace below all stood solemnly, offering the Tongtian Sect Master their highest respect!
The woman beside the Palace Master's cultivation was unreadable, but even without cultivation, no one in the entire God Realm would dare to touch someone who could stand beside the Palace Master!
Tao Hong had only heard Tongtian Sect Master mention it that day, and it wasn't until she had been inside the palace that she believed Tongtian Sect Master seemed to be a very powerful recluse, but at this moment, countless impressions materialized in an instant!
What a majestic and towering sect!
"Tongtian, this sect was also created by the Emperor..."
Tongtian Sect Master nodded.
"I have received the Emperor's grace and was able to enter the Supreme Ancestral position. Building the Supreme Emperor Palace is for the Emperor's power, to repay this kindness."
Then, Tongtian Sect Master waved his hand.
"It's alright, you may disperse."
Everyone bowed and left, leaving only seven people behind.
"The Five Immortals of Interception, plus that Nine Treasures, that's Five Immortals, those three with similar attire are the Three Heavens, who is Zhao Gongming?"
Hearing the woman who was tightly gripping her teacher's sleeve yet was still alive mention his name, Zhao Gongming immediately stepped forward, recognizing at a glance that this person's identity was not simple.
"This humble one is Zhao Gongming, may I ask what the lady needs?"
Hearing the word 'lady,' a light smile appeared on Tao Hong's face: "You actually call me 'lady,' how old do you think I am..."
Tongtian Sect Master said calmly: "Gongming has cultivated for eight hundred and twenty-three thousand six hundred and seventy-two years, so it is no problem to call you that."
Tao Hong was suddenly stunned.
Eight hundred and twenty thousand years...
She was only in her fifties, so it shouldn't be a problem to be addressed like that.
"Haha..."
Zhao Gongming smiled: "It's rare that Teacher still remembers my age."
"Yes, I remember all of your birthdays."
"Meet your Shimu."
Yunxiao and the others were all stunned.
Ah? Teacher, weren't you in seclusion? Where did you bring back a Shimu from...?
Tao Hong wore a smile on her face, watching the others step forward to pay their respects. Although she was a little happy, she also didn't know what to do. These people seemed to be much, much older than her. Where did these disciples who were so much older than her come from...?
"There's no need to be so polite, I'm just..."
"Since Teacher says so, we will naturally pay our respects."
Although they didn't know why, and didn't know why the ruthless Dao Lord Tongtian Sect Master would actually bring back a Dao companion, they were still extremely respectful.
But looking at this person, her fate seemed to be bad. One could see at a glance that she didn't seem to have cultivated, and didn't seem to be concealing her aura...
Tao Hong was a little at a loss for a moment, but quickly calmed down: "You all have very good appearances. It's the first time we've met, so I don't have anything to give you, but we've already passed the New Year there, so how about I give you some lucky money..."
Everyone scratched their heads.
What's that?
Then they saw Tao Hong give each of them a tael of silver. After examining it for a moment, it didn't seem to be anything rare, but then they heard Tongtian Sect Master speak faintly.
"This thing is a local currency I saw when I went to a vast world. It can be used to purchase local goods. You won't see it in the God Realm."
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
"So that's how it is, that kind of world. So Teacher hasn't been staying here all this time."
"Is this thing too precious...?"
Tao Hong looked helplessly at Tongtian Sect Master.
"There's no need to say it like that, it's just some silver money..."
"That's right, there are some things they don't know."
Tao Hong pondered slightly and then remembered.
The Emperor, right? You don't know who the Emperor is?
Okay, even their two sons don't know who the Emperor is...
But Tao Hong still couldn't help but take another look at Zhao Gongming.
The only man among the seven, right? The previous one was called Duobao, and is now in Nine Treasures, following His Highness the Crown Prince.
Hmm...
That's normal, after all, Tongtian Sect Master didn't have much cultivation in that place. If he said his name was Tongtian Sect Master, he would inevitably be beaten. He even had his stall overturned and was even punched a few times in the capital of the Tianxuan Continent...
That's understandable.
Our Lady of Wudang and the others were extremely curious about the Tao Hong who had appeared before them.
Well, they didn't dare to ask too much.
That was their teacher's business.
But the teacher's Dao cultivation seemed to be even deeper. The mountains and rivers map of the world imprinted on his robe was also more complete, and he had already made some progress in the Ancestral position.
"By the way, Teacher, what about the development of the Supreme Emperor Palace in recent years...?"
Tongtian waved his hand.
"There's no need to say more. I'm relieved to leave the Supreme Emperor Palace to you and Yunxiao. Moreover, most of them are old disciples of Interception, so you can handle it yourself."
"I still have important matters to attend to."
After saying that, he took Tao Hong and left.
The others scratched their heads again, looking puzzled.
"Eh..."
"This Shimu looks like an ordinary person, and it seems she's using a youth-preserving pill. She doesn't have any cultivation, and her fate is a little strange. It seems even Teacher can't interfere..."
Yunxiao nodded, confirming Our Lady of Wudang's statement.
"I think so too, but whatever Teacher does, he must have his own ideas. There's no need for us to say more, and that Shimu seems to have a very good temper and nature."
"Hehe, that's not for us to judge. Speaking of which, Teacher personally said that it's the currency of a vast world. I wonder what this thing can buy..."
"And that vast world, aren't you curious?"
Just as everyone was chatting, the four Great Demon Kings of the King's Seat arrived at the Supreme Emperor Palace.
The others looked back, and as expected, a figure pounced on Yunxiao and rubbed against her vigorously.
"Yunxiao-jie, I miss you so much..."
Yunxiao said helplessly: "It seems like we haven't seen each other for more than a few days."
"A day apart is like three autumns, Yunxiao-jie!"
Ye Yao chuckled, making Zhao Gongming on the side very envious.
"Fortunately, she's not a man, otherwise, I don't know how many women's Dao hearts would be stirred by those words. In this case, it seems I still have a chance..."
Yunxiao happened to know Chu Ning's identity and true strength, but she didn't reveal it. But in fact, she had been a little tempted before, but he was very good to his wife...
But this matter had already become a thing of the past, and it was very good to think about it at night.
Yunxiao rubbed Ye Yao's head.
"Why are you here again? Aren't you cultivating?"
"I heard that Uncle Tongtian has come out of seclusion, so I came over to take a look and say hello!"
"Then don't always hug me like this, there are outsiders..."
"Then how about we go to your cave and hug you..."
Yunxiao was helpless, and Bixiao on the side laughed and said: "Sister is very good at attracting children. Speaking of which, Yao Yao and Mumu's cultivation have improved so quickly, it's unheard of. Even that dog is about to enter the Supreme realm. The Golden Age is indeed well-deserved."
"Speaking of which, where's Uncle Tongtian?"
"He went over there."
"Oh, oh, then we'll go see him. We'll come back later!"
After speaking, the girl in green rode away on the dog, and Chu Mu cupped his hands in salute.
"I have important matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you."
He was also powerful.
The others looked at the backs of the two people and four dogs, and were also filled with emotion.
"As expected of the Demon Ancestor's people, even the dogs they ride are in the Supreme realm. Where would we have this opportunity...?"
"Well, there's nothing we can do since they're the Demon Ancestor's people, right?"
In fact, Yunxiao wanted to say something.
If she were to ride the Demon Ancestor, that Supreme High-Ranking Peak Demon Ancestor would have to come over and be ridden...
Forget it, it's better for you not to know these things, lest you feel uncomfortable when communicating with Fellow Daoist Chu and Fellow Daoist Ye in the future.
"Speaking of which, Yao Yao has good luck, even more prosperous than the Demon Ancestor, and I've heard that Yao Yao has countless female confidantes within the God Realm."
"Your confidantes, fairies, are so many, so Yunxiao is just one of them. It's so hot, I want you to come and accompany me..."
Yunxiao slapped the speaking Bixiao away.
She was just asking for a beating.
"Go do what you need to do, don't waste time..."
Everyone smiled and left.
Inside the White Jade City of the Supreme Emperor Palace, the two were strolling through the layers.
"Is this jade not as valuable as the wood in the palace?"
"This is at least the God Realm. The value of white jade in the God Realm is still very high. The value of one piece is higher than that of an entire Tianxuan Continent."
"Then what about this gold?"
"Immortal gold, its value is still not low."
"That's very expensive."
"This is a sword Dao magic weapon, its killing power is extremely high, so its value is naturally high."
Tao Hong understood, curiously looking around along the way, and could be considered to have seen the world.
Suddenly, two figures and four cute dogs appeared.
They knew that Tongtian Sect Master had a lover in the capital of the Daqian Dynasty, but that person didn't seem to have any cultivation.
Those dogs were still a little cuter.
"Uncle Tongtian!"
Ye Yao shouted from afar, and Tongtian Sect Master also turned around.
In the blink of an eye, they had grown so big?
Oh, right, speaking of which, they are children, so their appearance won't change much in the years to come.
Tao Hong was also curious and looked over, slightly stunned when she saw the two fairy-like figures, one in green and one in white. She felt they looked somewhat familiar...
It was as if she had seen them somewhere before...
"Auntie Tao Hong, our father is Chu Ning, you should have met him!"
Tao Hong suddenly realized!
"So it's the two princesses. I didn't expect them to be so grown up. I've heard the Emperor and Empress mention them many times. No wonder they look so familiar!"
"Yes, we've also heard Daddy mention Auntie Tao Hong!"
Ye Yao immediately snuggled up to her, and Tao Hong was silent for a moment.
Well... it was exactly as Tong Tian said.
This little girl is a bit mischievous...
Then she is indeed much older than this little girl, quite a bit older. After all, they are only teenagers, and she is already in her fifties.
But speaking of which, people in the God Realm are often hundreds of thousands of years old. Tong Tian's age is even greater. How many years has he lived...
Tong Tian Sect Leader looked at Chu Mu.
"The Emperor should have told you about this."
Chu Mu nodded slightly.
"Father came to us today to explain this matter, and it's still about Tian Ran."
"Yes, although the Crown Prince is young, this kind of trial is actually enough. You can find an opportunity to return, after all, the longer the time, the greater the trouble."
"We are aware of this. By the way, Uncle Tong Tian is no longer in the Daqian Dynasty?"
"Taking Tao Hong out to walk around and see the world, visiting various places. The world is so big that even I have only surveyed it with my divine sense and have never personally set foot in it."
Chu Mu nodded slightly, while Ye Yao continued to snuggle against Tao Hong.
"Second Princess, this..."
"Auntie Tao Hong, the scent on you feels a bit familiar."
Tao Hong smiled: "The Empress did give me some fragrant creams and things like that. Perhaps the Empress used them before?"
"Understood!"
"Speaking of which, what is the situation with my little brother now?"
Tao Hong pondered slightly.
"I think the Crown Prince has a good personality, with a firm and unyielding Dao heart, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future. After all, the affairs of the Tianxuan Continent are a lie here. When the lie is exposed, no one knows what will happen. Actually, we don't know either, but if possible, the two Princesses should follow what Tong Tian and His Majesty the Emperor said and let the Crown Prince know some things, so that it won't be so troublesome for the Crown Prince to accept it in the future."
"Understood!"
Ye Yao snorted softly, looking proud!
"If that's the case, then it's simple!"
"I'll just suppress him with a Great Heavenly Creation Palm! Scare him to death!"
"Tell him that our father is very powerful!"
"This method is too confrontational..."
Chu Mu said indifferently: "If you're going to do that, you might as well not do it. If that's the case, you don't have to go. I can go alone. Anyway, you won't do anything serious if you go."
Ye Yao smiled: "Just kidding. I know this matter is because of me, but I'm a girl after all, so I won't go too far. But my brother is different. What's it like for a man to hug a woman like that? Okay, I understand. I will do as Daddy said..."
Tao Hong smiled and nodded: "Actually, the Crown Prince's temperament is very good, but the Emperor's idea is also correct. In any case, let the Crown Prince understand some things, and the trouble can be reduced. As for how the Crown Prince will choose in the future, we can't guess."
The two nodded.
"Then we're leaving! We're going to keep an eye on what that brother is doing all day long. Anyway, we have nothing to do..."
The two quickly left, and Tao Hong looked at their backs with some emotion.
"As expected of the Emperor and Empress's children. They are very beautiful, and those four doggies are so cute..."
But before she could finish saying 'cute', she suddenly saw the four doggies grow bigger, and then the two of them rode away on the doggies.
The doggies didn't seem so cute anymore...
