Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 762: Chapter 762: Divine Fruit Tree, Limitless Sword Seal

”Youyu, please get up.”

Ye Yun waved his hand, and a surge of Mana swept out, forcibly lifting Youyu’s body.

”Senior, I...”

Youyu had a troubled expression, wanting to speak but hesitating. He had promised Ye Yun to acknowledge the Wine Fairy as his master, but he had just failed.

Wouldn’t his life be at stake again?

”You showed kindness to Lu Linlang. Although you harbored malicious intentions, without you, she would not have survived for 100,000 years. Your merits outweigh your faults, so...”

Ye Yun paused here.

”Senior...” Youyu clenched his fists, looking nervously at Ye Yun.

”From now on, you shall acknowledge me as your master!” Ye Yun said solemnly.

”Greetings, Master!”

Youyu was overjoyed and immediately fell to his knees before Ye Yun, kowtowing repeatedly in excitement. With such a terrifying senior backing him, he truly had nothing to fear.

After all these years, hiding in the void, not daring to show his face easily—wasn’t it precisely because he feared others would come looking for trouble?

Don’t forget, there were still six other Rivers of Time out there.

And there were always ambitious individuals who wanted to reassemble the seven Rivers of Time into a single, complete one.

Once the River of Time was completely reassembled, it would surpass the God Level and enter the Super God Level.

Such a treasure could be said to be invincible in the world.

Looking at the excited Youyu, Ye Yun said calmly, ”Swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao.”

”I understand, Master.”

Youyu looked solemn. He immediately raised one hand and swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

He also understood very clearly that he could not easily win his master’s trust with just a few words.

And if he were to violate his oath to the Heavenly Dao, both his body and soul would be obliterated.

Seeing Youyu so compliant and decisive, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

”From now on, your clone will continue to act as the Time Elder. Your true body will return to the black hole to sleep and recover your cultivation base.”

Glancing around, Ye Yun slowly continued, ”As for the masters of the remaining six Immortal Palaces, they will obey Lu Linlang’s orders in the future. For now, we’ll spare their lives.”

”Yes, Master,” Youyu respectfully replied.

”Just call me ’Lord’,” Ye Yun instructed.

”Yes, Lord!” Youyu’s expression grew respectful, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

He suddenly glanced at the Ruyi Jade Spider.

That’s when he remembered that the Ruyi Jade Spider also addressed Ye Yun as Lord.

”Master, it’s wonderful that you’re all right!” Lu Linlang said emotionally.

Seeing this disciple of his, Youyu felt extremely ashamed and said quietly, ”I have wronged you all. I always intended to devour you to enhance my cultivation base. Alas...”

”That’s all in the past, Master. Please don’t dwell on it anymore,” Lu Linlang comforted.

Youyu silently nodded.

Ye Yun fumbled at his wrist for a moment, then took out a small green tree and gently tossed it to the ground.

Once this small green tree landed, it immediately took root and began to grow vigorously.

”Youyu, this is a Divine Fruit Tree,” Ye Yun said softly. ”It bears one fruit every 10,000 years. From now on, you can enhance your cultivation base by consuming Divine Origin Fruits!”

”Thank you, Lord!” Youyu was moved to tears.

He had never dreamed that his Lord would gift him such an extremely precious Divine Fruit Tree.

This Divine Fruit Tree radiated a vigorous life aura. Although he had never seen such a thing, he could sense that the tree was extraordinarily precious and of exceptional quality.

A Divine Origin Fruit from this tree matured every 10,000 years. Within the Changhe Immortal Palace, the fruit would naturally be assimilated by its energies. After consuming it, his cultivation base would be greatly increased.

From now on, he would no longer need to devour his disciples to enhance his cultivation base.

It could be said that what his Lord did had helped him solve a major problem in one fell swoop.

”Ruyi, remove the poison from the Poem Fairy, Painting Immortal, and the other three as well!” Ye Yun looked down and ordered.

”Sure!”

The Ruyi Jade Spider chuckled and, with a grasp in midair, drew streams of energy out from the Wine Fairy Palace.

With the poison removed, the Warrior Fairy, Poem Fairy, and the others immediately recovered.

They released their Divine Sense and saw Youyu standing there in mid-air.

Five rays of light soared up and arrived before Youyu.

”Master, this outsider definitely has some malicious intentions! You must act quickly and capture him!” the Warrior Fairy cupped his fists and said urgently.

The Sword Immortal also said gravely, ”Master, this fellow killed the Dragon Fairy! We absolutely cannot let him go!”

”What nonsense are you all spouting?”

Youyu was so furious his beard trembled and eyes glared. He raised his hand and, swift and sharp, slapped each of these disciples across the face.

SMACK! SMACK!

The slaps were crisp and loud. Half of each disciple’s face immediately swelled and reddened.

”Master, why did you hit me?” the Warrior Fairy covered his face and asked, aggrieved.

”You little bastards! If you want to live, shut your mouths this instant!” Youyu cursed angrily.

Warrior Fairy: ”...”

Sword Immortal: ”...”

Guqin Fairy: ”...”

The five exchanged bewildered glances, completely dumbfounded.

What in the world was happening?

Why had their dear Master not only failed to help them, his disciples, but had instead helped an outsider slap them?

This was utterly inexplicable.

”Lord, if these worthless disciples displease you, why not just kill them?” Youyu turned around and asked with utmost respect.

”There’s no need to kill them. Let them live. You can explain the situation to them yourself,” Ye Yun said with a light smile.

He took Lu Linlang’s hand, and they vanished on the spot.

”My Lord and his confidante are off to enjoy themselves. Where am I supposed to go?” the Ruyi Jade Spider stomped her foot and muttered, her face crestfallen.

”Daoist Ruyi, my previous attitude was somewhat offensive, and I deeply apologize. I have prepared some simple wine. Would you do me the honor of joining me?” Youyu cupped his fists, extending an extremely courteous invitation.

”Okay!” the Ruyi Jade Spider promptly agreed.

「One month later.」

Ye Yun emerged from the main entrance of the Wine Fairy Palace holding Lu Linlang’s hand, his face glowing and his spirits high.

”Girl, focus on your cultivation. If I have time, I will come to see you,” Ye Yun said with a smile, lovingly touching Lu Linlang’s brow.

”Brother Yun, I will cultivate diligently and strive to catch up to you soon!” Lu Linlang smiled happily.

Brother Yun had accompanied her for a month, leaving her deeply content.

Back then, Brother Yun had many female confidantes; he rarely spent so much time with any single one.

Now, for Brother Yun to be able to stay with her in the Wine Fairy Palace for so long was already a miracle.

Thus, after a month together, Lu Linlang was utterly content.

She also knew that Brother Yun had important matters to attend to, and her current cultivation was still low; she absolutely could not hold him back.

There was another reason: she couldn’t leave the Changhe Immortal Palace for extended periods. If she stayed away too long, her body would undergo changes detrimental to her cultivation.

”Girl, I’ve imprinted three sword-lights in your body. If anyone means you harm, just release them!” Ye Yun said softly.

Using the Heaven-Slaying Sword, he had executed the Limitless Sword Technique to imprint three sword-lights within Lu Linlang’s brow.

This Limitless Sword Technique was a supreme sword art Ye Yun had recently comprehended, one he had previously used against Youyu.

Its power was even a notch stronger than the Binary Sword Chant.

If Youyu were to harbor malicious intentions, a single Limitless Sword Seal released could easily take his life.
