Chapter 897 Their Other Shore

Ye Wuming glanced towards the southwest again.

Zhao Changhe sent Ling Ruoyu to go find his master, and he hugged Ye Jiuyou, found a cloud to sit on, bit his ear and whispered, learning everything he had just seen in the world of immortal cultivation.

The two of them were leaning against each other sweetly, with their feet dangling in the clouds. They looked so suffocating.

Ye Wuming didn't even bother to listen to what the two were whispering. In a flash, he appeared on the altar of the Four Symbols Sect.

Xia Chichi, the leader of the sect, was reciting a prayer: "..."

Sanniang, Huangfu Qing and a group of high-ranking officials of the Twenty-Eight Mansions were all stunned.

The top executives didn’t even know who this beautiful woman was... and she had short hair, a hairstyle that had never been seen in the world, but it was surprisingly free and easy and suited her very well.

Then they all realized that this was the Night Emperor. The hazy night, the eternal moonlight, the heart of the sky hanging high, watching all living things, how could this be other than the Night Emperor? Especially since everyone was practicing the Night Emperor system, the resonance and pressure were more obvious when they saw the Night Emperor than when Zhao Changhe was in person.

No, boss, did we call you?

Everyone's sacrifice is of a kind of "borrowing power" nature, communicating with the power of heaven and earth to borrow. If you say summoning, it refers to your divine power and will, not really summoning people down.

Everyone is communicating with Yedi. Are you Yedi now? What are you doing here? This time Ye Gong likes dragons and doesn't even know how to say hello.

Hello...what's your name?

The former emperor? That refers to a dead person. The emperor emeritus? You are not Zhao Changhe's mother. Are you talking about the remnant of the previous dynasty? Let's capture her and present her to Your Majesty?

For a moment, the entire altar was silent. Everyone stared at Ye Wuming stupidly. After looking for a while, they lowered their eyes.

That kind of pressure is unbearable... Especially since she is so beautiful. One glance at her makes people feel inferior and they subconsciously avoid looking at her.

Only the three leaders of the Four Symbols Sect stared at her with burning eyes. It was unclear whether they were looking at the late emperor or the remnants of the previous dynasty. Their expressions were extremely complicated. Ye Wuming was also looking at Xia Chichi, focusing on her lower abdomen.

Xia Chichi took a half step back, covering his lower abdomen with a vigilant look.

Others won’t give out abortion pills randomly, but it’s hard to say about this person... maybe she came here just for this!

Ye Wuming's mouth twitched, and he finally spoke, his voice majestic and indifferent: "Why do you pray sincerely and summon me?"

Xia Chichi: “Climb.”

The twenty-eight constellations buried their heads even lower, and some were already trying to hold back their laughter.

Ye Wuming flicked his jade finger. A breeze blew past, and the people on the altar disappeared completely in an instant, being transported outside the surface of the earth. Then he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

Xia Chichi stiffened his neck and said, "Our husband slept for thirty years to save you. If you have the nerve to kill us, come and kill us. Do you really think we are afraid of you?"

Ye Wuming said coldly: "Jiuyou Piaomiao, you are more or less right to say this to me. Each of you is using my inheritance, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this? Originally, you gathered together because of me, and I secretly gave you countless fortunes and guidance, but you turned around and joined others. How dare you shout at me?"

Xia Chichi: "..."

Ye Wuming became more and more angry as he spoke: "Xia Chichi is fine, he drew the card related to you from the beginning, it was his destiny, it can be said to be fate. What about you two? One of you is trying to steal your apprentice's husband, and the other is trying to steal your best friend's man. You two old cows are fighting for the young grass. I can't even pull the red string between you two apart! In the end, you all apostatized and usurped the throne for a man. How dare you stand here and stare at me?"

This was the first meeting between the Four Symbols and the Night Emperor.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Sanniang said slowly, "Is that someone else? Wasn't that someone arranged by His Majesty himself? Why did Qing'er and I become more and more intimate with him? Wasn't it because we misunderstood that he was His Majesty's reincarnation? Especially Qing'er, if it weren't for this misunderstanding, how could we have started a relationship with him? Maybe the possibility of killing him would be higher. Later, His Majesty wanted him to forge the galaxy and inherit your wishes, and even arranged the position of Night Emperor for him. It's better to say that we catered to His Majesty's wishes than to say that we usurped the throne."

What he said made so much sense. Huangfu Qing, who was originally feeling a little complicated, suddenly felt calm.

I was very conflicted back then. I loved that man so much, but it was hard for me to accept that he was not the real Night Emperor. In the end, it was Turtle who reinterpreted the teachings and convinced me to push him up. So I was not completely a traitor. The cause and effect itself had something to do with Night Emperor himself.

Ye Wuming didn't know whether it was because Zhao Changhe had the idea of ​​the universe and the starry sky first, or because his deeper interactions with the Four Symbols Venerables led him to take advantage of the situation and arrange the subsequent plans. This entanglement of cause and effect was already a mess and it was difficult to tell.

Judging from the cause, it might be Zhao Changhe's own fault. Not every person on Earth has the ambition to reach the stars and the sea, or the courage to reach the stars. Once a person like Zhao Changhe is entangled with Ye Wuming and the Four Symbols System, it might become a spiral of mutual achievement. The fact that he could not break off the marriage between him and Sanniang Huangfu Qing should also have a lot to do with this.

Ye Wuming suddenly remembered his earliest comments to Zhao Changhe...The long river falls from the sky and merges into the rivers and lakes.

Did I already have a sense of it at that time?

If the evil fate between Zhao Changhe and Suzaku Xuanwu could not be severed because of this, then what about Ye Di herself?
Ye Wuming was lost in thought for a moment, and the three people from the Four Symbols Sect looked at each other, but they didn't confront each other anymore. To be honest, they really had no grudge against Ye Wuming, but the friendship between them really existed. If we really look into it, it's really that everyone is sorry for the former Emperor Ye. To be honest, everyone's dissatisfaction with Ye Wuming is just because their men are angry that she controls their lives, but if it weren't for her control, everyone wouldn't even know Zhao Changhe... In this way, we should thank her.

Well, did she ask Changhe to give everyone gifts before...

Huangfu Qing finally spoke to break the silence: "Your Majesty, are you here today because of our sacrifice?"

Ye Wuming had a blank expression on his face: "What else? Your sacrifice is to find the way of heaven. I have the same intention, so we can naturally cooperate."

Huangfu Qing said: "Your Majesty just separated from our husband... Why didn't you discuss cooperation with him, but came to us?"

Ye Wuming said confidently: "Because you sincerely invited me."

Ah, right, right. The three of them looked at each other, and suddenly a thought occurred to them: Isn't this typical tsundere? So the Night Emperor is actually like this...

"Ahem." Sanniang coughed dryly. "Your Majesty, you know our situation, right? There are some other women who try to trace the Heavenly Dao by arresting demon souls. We think their witchcraft is unreliable, so we want to find a solution ourselves. If Your Majesty can help with this..."

Ye Wuming said calmly: "There is a price to pay for asking for help, even sacrifices have sacrifices."

And installed it... Xia Chichi couldn't help but said: "Tell me first if you can do it... His Majesty the Night Emperor would never get something for nothing, right?"

Ye Wuming replied calmly: "What I can be sure of is that they can really..."

The three people from the Four Elephants Sect sat up straight at once: "Really?"

"They hid the corpse puppets of the Eldar land and collected so many residual demon souls. They are so complete from body to soul. Although witchcraft originated from the way of heaven, the rules are the rules. It is definitely possible to trace back the flesh and blood body from such a complete body, but there is a limitation..."

The three of them said in unison: "What limitations?"

"If the other party is well prepared and has set up clones outside in advance, it will be easy to be disturbed and unable to determine which one is the real body. It is possible to be misled and fall into a trap."

"That won't do... So what can we do to improve it?"

Ye Wuming glanced at the three of them and sighed in his heart.

We said we were vying for credit, but when we heard that the other party might fall into a trap, we had no intention of gloating, nor did we think that if they couldn't do it, we would have a chance. Our thoughts were all about "how can we help improve it?"

So what do you call competing for merits... It's just a fight for fun when nothing happens, and unity is strength when something happens. Ye Wuming sighed, "Perhaps this is also the complementarity between Jiuyou and I. Tiandao and I interfere with each other's consciousness, and it is difficult for each of us to trace the whereabouts of the other, but Ye Jiuyou can do it through the flesh and blood puppet. Similarly, it is difficult for her to sort out the rules and anchors, but I can sort out the rituals. Even if the other party has transformed into thousands of bodies and hidden from the past and present, I can also sort out the whereabouts of his destiny. Jiuyou needs Sisi and the others' help, and I also need your help."

Xia Chichi asked: "Do we need to gather together?"

Theoretically, it’s not necessary... For the Ye sisters’ practice, the whole world is just a room, it’s the same wherever they are.

But Ye Wuming still said: "Not for the time being, I will go to Miaojiang to watch, and come back to find you when they start. Remember, you summoned me to help."

The three members of the Four Elephants Sect: “?”

Does it feel like something is wrong?

Sanniang's eyes rolled around and she asked, "Your Majesty is helping so hard... haven't we given the sacrifice yet?"

"Oh." Ye Wuming had a blank expression on his face. "There are many types of sacrifices. As long as you pay something, it can be a sacrifice. What are you willing to pay?"

"How about this." Sanniang blinked her eyes: "We will try our best to fulfill your Majesty's wish..."

Ye Wuming had no intention of asking for any sacrifices at all. He just wanted to make good on the excuse that "you asked me to help you". He was ready to leave even without any sacrifices. He was too lazy to go into details at this moment. He waved his hand and said, "It's best if you have this intention. I'll remember it and wait for you to fulfill your promise."

After saying this, he disappeared.

Huangfu Qing whispered to Sanniang, "What tricks are you coming up with?"

Sanniang carefully transmitted her thoughts: "She has so many wishes, it doesn't matter which one is fulfilled... For example, to give her and her husband's child a complete home."

"Are you sure this is her wish?"

"No matter whether it is or not, if it is, we are debt-free and it is better than building a seven-story pagoda; if it is not, she will come and bite me... I, Xuanwu, was a traitor who instigated Zhuque to betray the religion. What do you think I am? A loyal and patriotic person... Isn't the pleasure of Ye Di's depravity more interesting than Zhuque and his apprentice fighting for a man?"

Huangfu Qing turned away in anger.

Who doesn't want to have fun? Can you not mention the matter of competing with your apprentice for a man?

Xia Chichi is still next to us!

…………

In fact, Zhao Changhe was whispering with Ye Jiuyou in the clouds, and it was not really a romantic scene. What they were talking about was quite serious.

Anyway, Ye Jiuyou had eaten enough in the past two days and was not hungry now.

Since he has reached the pinnacle of the third level of the imperial realm, he should be on the other side. Zhao Changhe did not want to consult Ye Wuming, as she was arrogant enough to think she wanted to be his master without teaching him three sentences. Of course, it would be more appropriate to ask his wife first.

Ye Jiuyou was once suppressed by Ye Wuming for an entire era, but now his realm is no lower than Ye Wuming, and they both belong to the pseudo-other shore. If there is any difference between him and Ye Wuming, it is mainly in two points.

First, Ye Wuming traveled the heavens and had a wide range of knowledge. Ye Jiuyou actually went out secretly in recent years. She was not by Zhao Changhe's side when he woke up because she misjudged the time when Zhao Changhe woke up and had not returned since she went out. But these thirty years of experience cannot be compared with Ye Wuming's travels throughout the era. Her knowledge is much shallower. At least she has not found Zhao Cuo yet.

Secondly, Ye Wuming is after all in harmony with the Heavenly Book, and it is impossible for anyone in this world to be stronger than her. But that was her victory through the hard power exerted by the Heavenly Book, and in terms of realm alone, there is indeed no difference between her and Ye Jiuyou.

"If Ye Wuming named this realm the Other Shore, I agree with him." Ye Jiuyou said, "Except for her annoying personality, her knowledge is impeccable."

Zhao Changhe asked, "According to the rules, the sign of this realm is to break through the cage of this world... But theoretically speaking, I don't belong to this cage. Should I be considered born on the other side? But I haven't found a way to break through. I don't even have a feeling."

Ye Jiuyou said: "Your uniqueness can only be said to be that there are no obstacles to this realm, you will not be stuck, and you don't need to seek extra understanding like people in this world. But breakthroughs naturally still require the accumulation of practice and the search for the key."

"Accumulation... I'm afraid there's not enough time... How do I find the key? Or in other words, what is the specific performance of this realm?" Zhao Changhe said: "In the battle thirty years ago, my biggest regret was that I didn't face the enemy Tiandao head-on, so I didn't know the performance of this realm at all."

Ye Jiuyou said: "Can you fold the bridge of time and space like Ye Wuming and travel freely in the world? "

"I can fold the bridge of space and reach outside the boundary."

"Do you know the difference between this and Ye Wuming?"

"There are two points. One is that we can't be too far away. This is a quantitative difference. If I practice more, I can catch up naturally. The second is that her folding includes time. She may be able to reach any space on any timeline, but I can only reach space at present. This is a qualitative difference. Is that right?"

Zhao Changhe said this, thinking to himself that this was actually his ultimate goal in this world. If he wanted to go back to Earth, he could probably do it now as long as he knew the location. It would only take a little more effort. But if he wanted to go back to the time point when he traveled through time, he couldn't do it now.

If time cannot be changed, and I go back after these 33 years, it means that my parents will have to endure the pain of their son's disappearance for 33 years. The thought of this is heartbreaking.

Up and down, everywhere, from ancient times to the present, everywhere... Traveling in any time and space, coming and going freely, is this the typical symbol of the other side...

Zhao Changhe’s mind once again recalled what he saw and heard after coming out of seclusion this time. In front of him was Tang Buqi, who had a large family, and behind him was Tang Wanzhuang, who had an eternal beauty... The touch of that moment still lingers in his mind until now.

It turns out that this is not just the perception of the third level of the realm of control, this experience can continue to the other side.

The experience of traveling through ancient times with Piaomiao was also a heavy experience, and it is worth revisiting and pondering over again.

Seeing him lost in thought, Ye Jiuyou smiled slightly and said, "The cognition and mastery of Yu and Zhou is one of them... I can't compare with Ye Wuming in this aspect. But there are other expressive abilities that I have and she doesn't. Do you want to see them?"

Zhao Changhe came to his senses and said with a smile, "Of course I want it."

"Then follow me." Ye Jiuyou took his hand, and his body shook, reaching the abyss of Jiuyou.

A huge corpse floated in the endless darkness, and the end of the corpse could not be seen at a glance. The flesh and blood of the corpse had been chopped off by Lie Yidao, leaving only the appearance of a withered corpse, and the body had turned into steel, a standard corpse puppet.

This was the original land of the elves.

Ye Jiuyou stretched out her finger and lightly touched the iron-like surface of the corpse puppet. Zhao Changhe looked intently at the place she touched and found that the steel seemed to soften and regained its elasticity like flesh and blood.

"This is... rebirth from death?"

"No... I'm not reviving it. In other words, I'm just using it as a material. If it were alive, it would no longer be the same, just like the Broken Void Star Iron forged into a Dragon Bird."

Zhao Changhe's heart moved slightly, as if he understood Ye Jiuyou's meaning.

Ye Jiuyou said softly: "I was born from chaos to order, from darkness to light, from nothing to existence... My path is not extinction, but birth. This is my true nature."

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath: "So?"

"I'm creating humans." Ye Jiuyou smiled slightly: "The creator is the real god... At present, I still need such special materials to create, which is a bit embarrassing, so the other shore is still fake. If I can evolve to the void creation, or can create living beings with ordinary materials, then I will reach the other shore."
