Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 896: Eastern Emperor Taiyi

Yun Xiao glanced at Eastern Emperor Taiyi, a strange expression surfaced in her icy beautiful eyes.

This guy, why is his behavior so peculiar?

Where exactly did he come from?

Although her personality became extremely cold due to cultivating the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path, Yun Xiao, after all, is a woman whose curiosity has not vanished.

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, aren’t you a cultivator from the Divine Land? Where do you come from?"

Yun Xiao coldly asked.

"I come from the Demon World..."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi smiled faintly, facing the blue-clothed beauty, he did not hide it.

"So you’re from the Demon World!"

A trace of realization flashed through Yun Xiao’s silver eyes.

There have been occurrences in the ancient history of the Divine Land where cultivators from the Demon World descended upon the Divine Land.

It’s extremely rare.

After all, the resources consumed for mutual teleportation between the Demon World and Divine Land are unimaginable.

Under normal circumstances.

Cultivators from both worlds do not covet each other’s realms.

After all, even if Divine Land cultivators went to the Demon World, it’s useless as that place contains Demonic Qi, unsuitable for Divine Land cultivators’ cultivation.

Conversely.

Cultivators from the Demon World entering the Divine Land are not particularly accustomed either.

Only if war broke out between the two realms, might they spare no cost to lead one realm to invade the other...

"Young lady, what’s your name?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi asked with a smile.

"Yun Xiao."

Yun Xiao responded coldly.

She is one of the Seven Great Celestials in the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace, renowned as she was, she naturally had no reason to hide her name.

"Lady Yun Xiao, I have just arrived in the Divine Land and am without a place to go, would you consider allowing me to follow you for a while?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi asked with a smile.

"No need, I’m accustomed to traveling alone!"

Yun Xiao refused unceremoniously.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi touched his nose with his hand, smiling indifferently: "Lady Yun Xiao, the red egg in your hand, the Divine Beast it’s nurturing is quite astonishing..."

Yun Xiao pressed her lips tightly together, looked at Eastern Emperor Taiyi with extreme vigilance.

This cultivator from the Demon World had a cultivation base two minor realms higher than hers; if he desired to snatch her egg, she feared a fierce battle would ensue.

"Lady Yun Xiao, don’t be nervous. Towards your red egg, I... cough... personally have no covetous intentions!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi waved his hands repeatedly.

During the conversation, he even coughed heavily twice.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s face showed a somewhat unnatural expression.

As the Ancient Demon Emperor of the ancient heavenly court of the Primordial World, he was accustomed to claiming imperial status, finding it difficult to change all of a sudden.

Even back in the Demon World, facing those of the Star Demon Clan, he always claimed himself as the emperor.

Those of the Star Demon Clan had long been brought under his banner.

Yun Xiao heard the nuances in Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s words and frowned: "Emperor? Are you the Demon Emperor of the Demon World?"

"No, no, I’ve just had a slip of the tongue. If I were the Demon Emperor, I would’ve taken it long ago!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi smiled faintly, waving his hands repeatedly.

Yun Xiao continued frowning, her face extremely cold.

This Eastern Emperor Taiyi, despite showing a gentle demeanor, unlike the fearsome Demon World cultivators of legend, who knows what intentions he has come to the Divine Land with?

Thinking of this.

Yun Xiao did not utter a word, turned and flew off in one direction.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi smiled bitterly, filled with regret.

"This young lady, although she appears extremely cold, is not a bad person..."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi muttered to himself.

He looked around, gazing at the flickering mountain fires, suddenly filled with a sense of loneliness.

Just arriving.

Without even a guide, this vast Divine Land, where should he seek the Chaotic Bell?

Deep in thought.

Suddenly, Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s heart stirred, transformed into a red light pursuing Yun Xiao’s direction.

Sensing a premonition, Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt that meeting this Yun Xiao lady upon first entering the Divine Land would bring him fortune.

"Why has this guy followed again?"

While flying, Yun Xiao suddenly frowned, turned with a cold face.

"No misunderstanding, I mean no harm..."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi repeatedly waved his hands.

"Are all Demon World cultivators so shameless?"

Yun Xiao sneered.

"Some indeed are shameless, but I am certainly not one of those. Imagine me, a dignified Heavenly..."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi realized his blunder and quickly closed his mouth.

This is not the Primordial World.

But another world.

No need to mention former glories.

Yun Xiao snorted and continued flying ahead.

"Oh, what a struggle!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi stood there, sighing deeply, filled with regret.

After a moment.

"This Yun Xiao lady seems to be searching for a certain stone..."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s eyes brightened, suddenly knowing what he must do.

He silently closed his eyes, releasing vast Divine Sense like a tide, instantly covering an extensive area of mountain fires.

"There are quite a few of those stones..."

A gleeful look appeared on Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s face. He suddenly opened his arms, surrounded by a faint layer of firelight.

Rumble...

Numerous mountains shook, the Sun Essence Fire Stones hidden within the depths of the mountains broke free, flying toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

"What is this..."

While flying, Yun Xiao gaped in astonishment, unbelieving.

Hundreds of Sun Essence Fire Stones fell into Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s hands.

"Lady Yun Xiao, this is a token of my good faith, to prove I bear no malice. I have just arrived in the Divine Land, friendless, merely wish to follow you for some time to learn about this place..."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi swiftly approached, holding a pile of Sun Essence Fire Stones, speaking earnestly.

"No need, I’ll find them myself."

Yun Xiao coldly replied, turning to leave.

"Sigh..."

Seeing his attempt to offer something backfire, Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s face showed immense regret.

In his last life.

He was deeply focused on cultivation, not adept at interpersonal interactions, especially with women.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi pursued truth-seeking through power throughout his life, but this vow remained unfulfilled even until his death.

Before dying.

He was merely a Semi-Saint, far from becoming a Saint.

After dying.

He mysteriously was reborn outside the Demon World, soon entered the Demon World... These complicated experiences changed the mindset of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, from before.

Yun Xiao flew over ten thousand miles, relieved to see Eastern Emperor Taiyi had not pursued.

"Master, I don’t think Eastern Emperor Taiyi is a bad person, also, I realize he’s not from the Demon Clan, but from the Demon Tribe..."

The red bird egg in her hand suddenly spoke.

"Demon Tribe?"

Yun Xiao was taken aback.

"He should also be of the Fire-attributed Demon Tribe, similar to my origin, of extremely high bloodline rank, giving me an inexplicable sense of closeness..."

The red bird egg said.

"This Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s origin is unclear, I fear he wants to snatch you away, it’s better we stay far from him!"

Yun Xiao replied coldly.

"Yes, Master, this Eastern Emperor Taiyi gives me a sense of danger, if a true battle ensues, you might not be a match!"

The red bird egg suddenly said.

"I’m not a match?"

Yun Xiao was stunned, not expecting the red bird egg to say this.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s level was two realms above hers.

If he truly belonged to the Demon Tribe, with extremely high bloodline rank, Yun Xiao admitted she might not be able to defeat Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Earlier, she felt an unexplainable sense of danger emanating from this Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
