Chapter 500: Chapter 490: The Four Emperors Continent, the Cause Su Mu Casually Planted

Bai Yuechan and Ye Qingran followed behind Jin Yao, heading toward the central region of the Celestial Shepherd Divine Realm.

Although the cave residence where Ye Qingran and the others lived was already in the central area of the Divine Realm, it still took them more than half a day at full speed to reach the core central region, which shows just how vast the Divine Realm really is!

Upon entering the core central region, the two women saw a sea.

This sea was boundless, with Immortal Mist forming shadows of full moons that drifted across the sea surface. The environment suddenly became tranquil, with no human figures in sight, only occasionally an Immortal Crane flying low over the sea, weaving through the Immortal Mist.

The two women were very shocked, for there was such a sea in the central area of the priceless Celestial Shepherd Divine Realm.

After flying for a full three hours, at last, an Immortal Island came into view for the two women.

This Immortal Island was not very large, standing quietly in the center of the sea, with nothing around it, making it the sole existence.

Could this be where Master lives??

Owning a sea at the center of the Divine Realm, living on such a tranquil and serene island with Immortal Charm drifting around!

Jin Yao waved her jade-like hand, dispersing the Immortal Mist covering the Immortal Island, revealing an Immortal Cloud path leading to the inside of the island.

Jin Yao slowed her pace, waiting for the two women to catch up, then walked step by step on the Immortal Cloud path toward the Immortal Island.

The deeper they went into the island, the more Ye Qingran and Bai Yuechan felt the solidification of the Spiritual Power within them. Until the instant they landed on the island, they were shocked to find that they could no longer mobilize their Spiritual Power.

This Immortal Island hosted a powerful Grand Array that directly suppressed their Cultivation!

In fact, what the two women didn’t know was that every wisp and particle of Immortal Mist floating around the island was an independent Grand Array.

Altogether, there were over a million Grand Arrays protecting Nanmu Island, making this place the safest location in the entire Heaven Shepherd Alliance.

There’s no other way because Dong’Er lives on Nanmu Island, and since she cannot undergo Cultivation and has no Cultivation, she must be protected by all possible means; nothing must happen to her.

...

From a distance, the Immortal Island looks small, but once inside, the two women realized just how large it really was; in terms of size, it was comparable to a small realm.

Soon, Jin Yao led the two women to a small courtyard.

She gently knocked on the wooden door, and a dignified voice came from inside it: "Come in."

As they pushed open the wooden door, they saw a dignified man in a black robe sitting in the courtyard, looking at them.

The moment the two women’s gaze fell upon the dignified man, their bodies froze; this dignified man was like a towering mountain, so high that it could not be seen; just sitting there, he made them unconsciously feel a sense of insignificance.

"This is your Senior Uncle."

Jin Yao introduced Wu Zhong to the two women.

"Qingran greets Senior Uncle."

"Yuechan greets Senior Uncle."

The two women slightly bowed, greeting respectfully.

Wu Zhong glanced over the two new disciples of Jin Yao, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Truly, Fourth Sister has good judgment; every disciple she accepts is a dragon and phoenix among people, exceptionally outstanding.

"Sit."

Wu Zhong smiled, speaking to the three of them.

After sitting down, the two women were upright and cautious, appearing somewhat uneasy.

After some small talk, Wu Zhong inquired of the two women, "I hear from your Master that you come from a world called the ’Dark Inference Demon Realm’?"

"Reporting to Senior Uncle, both Chan’Er and I come from the Dark Inference Demon Realm."

"Only... when we left the Dark Inference Demon Realm, it was not called ’Dark Inference Demon Realm’, but ’Four Emperors Continent’."

Ye Qingran answered slowly.

Hearing this, Wu Zhong raised an eyebrow and continued to ask, "Then why did it later change its name to ’Dark Inference Demon Realm’?"

This information was not included in the intelligence Dong’Er provided him.

"I do not know; after leaving the ’Four Emperors Continent’, we have not returned since." Ye Qingran was somewhat surprised as to why Senior Uncle would inquire about these matters.

Because whether it’s the former ’Four Emperors Continent’ or present ’Dark Inference Demon Realm’, they are both considered weak and barren small worlds in the eyes of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, not worth mentioning.

Wu Zhong did not intend to beat around the bush: "I found a promising prospect and wish to accept him as a disciple, but he is somewhat unwilling."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingran and Bai Yuechan looked at each other, unclear of the intention behind Senior Uncle’s words.

Ye Qingran could only respond along the line: "Senior Uncle is powerful and highly esteemed; I think he’s simply someone who lacks discernment and ambition."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong smiled: "That person comes from the same place as you."

Upon hearing this, the two women’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

Because to their knowledge, the former ’Four Emperors Continent’ was exceedingly barren, with very slow Martial Dao development. To ascend from the ’Four Emperors Continent’ was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Moreover, after the departure of the ’Four Emperors’ later on,

the entire ’Four Emperors Continent’ had further declined, and it was only a matter of time before it fell into decay.

They were able to leave the ’Four Emperors Continent’ primarily by leveraging a Supreme Treasure—the ’Wood of Time’.

This ’Wood of Time’ was left by one of the former Four Emperors, who was their Master Ancestor.

They crossed the legendary River of Time aboard the ’Wood of Time’ to leave the ’Four Emperors Continent’.

In truth, to be precise, only Ye Qingran left the ’Four Emperors Continent’; Bai Yuechan accompanied her out of personal sentiment, unable to abandon her, hence bringing her along.

Thus, when they learned from Senior Uncle that aside from themselves, another ’fellow countryman’ also ascended and left the ’Four Emperors Continent’, reached the Celestial Shepherd Divine Realm, and caught the eye of Senior Uncle, they were extremely astonished.

They arrived at the Celestial Shepherd Divine Realm through nothing short of great fortune, being noticed by their Master; otherwise, the road to ascend here would have been long and arduous, requiring countless years and effort.

....

"What does Senior Uncle imply?" Ye Qingran could vaguely guess Wu Zhong’s intention but dared not assume, so she tentatively asked.

"Since you come from the same place, perhaps you know each other; perhaps you can meet."

"If in the future he truly becomes my disciple, you could be fellow disciples."

The meaning in Wu Zhong’s words was clear, suggesting whether Ye Qingran could open a breakthrough with Su Ming, at least to understand what attachment he cannot let go.

....

Hearing this, Ye Qingran nodded, saying, "Alright, I understand Senior Uncle’s intention."

The next moment, a Divine Thought was transmitted into Ye Qingran’s mind.

"He resides in this place, also within the Divine Realm."
