Chapter 1322: Chapter 783: You go ahead and look to the future, while Shen will keep watch over the present for you.

Divine Dynasty, Imperial City.

Two maidservants stood outside the quiet courtyard, watching the sword-wearing woman hurriedly approaching from afar, and both respectfully bowed.

The woman had no official position in the Divine Dynasty, not even a formal identity, but everyone in the Imperial City knew that she was the only person, besides the head of the Immortal Department, Lord Lin, who could enter the wine pool alone to have an audience with His Majesty.

"Mr. Ye, this way please."

The maidservant turned around, and with small steps led the way in front, for His Majesty had said that Mr. Ye did not need to be announced if she wished to see him.

"Thank you, both."

Ye Lan tightly clutched the jade slip in her hand. Even though she had been thinking of that person countless days and nights, she forced herself to hold back from using her divine soul to probe its contents.

She was well aware that with her own cultivation boundary, she was insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

If captured by any giant, she would be at risk of a soul search.

This letter from the North Continent could only be seen by the Human Emperor.

Soon, Ye Lan stopped her steps, standing around the wine pool. Only after the two maidservants quietly retreated did she take out the jade slip: "Please, Your Majesty, take a look."

"So soon there is another letter; what issue has arisen?"

The man leaned on the moist pebbles, waved his hand, attempting to magically take the jade slip, but awkwardly, the jade slip remained motionless in Ye Lan’s hand.

"Tsk."

A trace of helplessness flashed across his face, but this emotion quickly faded, replaced by his usual lazy demeanor: "Bring it over, don’t just stand there in a daze."

"..."

Ye Lan respectfully approached, placing the jade slip into the man’s hand, worry appearing in her eyes.

Although she did not know exactly what this master of Shen Zhou was doing, merely from observing his external state, the increasingly gray hair and visibly changing face, it felt as if each meeting showed he had aged another ten years.

This kind of situation should absolutely not happen to one of the Heaven and Earth Six Emperors.

She could distinctly feel that the Human Emperor and this wine pool seemed to be merging into one, but his control over external matters had drastically declined.

Ye Lan even began to doubt if, without the help of Lord Lin from the Immortal Department, His Majesty could still project his voice beyond this courtyard.

Could such a Six Emperors truly still protect Shen Yi?

"There is gain and loss after all."

The man seemed to see through Ye Lan’s thoughts, yet did not feel offended, instead chuckling casually.

He once, as the lofty Human Emperor, was naturally majestic and imposing, a mighty tiger in its prime, but now to fully mobilize the Divine Dynasty’s vast reserves, he had to endure many costs.

However, as he became more like a mortal, he could better understand the powerlessness that mortals felt when faced with gods and buddhas, it was indeed not a bad thing.

"Let me see what trouble this youngster has caused again."

The man appeared carefree, but his eyes held a certain seriousness.

He had given the token to contact the Divine Dynasty General last time; if even with that, the other party’s problem couldn’t be solved, then in his current state, he truly had no solution.

Do not be fooled by the Human Emperor’s seemingly evasive attitude when dealing with Shen Yi last time.

After all, he was the major contributor who defended the Southern Continent for the Imperial Court.

If something happened to him, how could he not grieve.

The Human Emperor carefully infused his divine soul into the jade slip, and after reading its content, he was silent for a long time before reopening his eyes: "Truly, it is somewhat unexpected."

"..."

Seeing the man’s serious expression, Ye Lan abruptly clenched her sleeves, her face changing suddenly.

Fortunately, the Human Emperor had no intention of continuing to frighten her and laughed loudly: "Look at you, he even took that monk with him, leaving you alone in this vast city, yet you do not resent at all. Were it in the peaceful days of the past, I would need to betroth you to him."

"Here, read it yourself."

The Human Emperor casually tossed the jade slip back.

Ye Lan now had no mind to pay attention to the old man’s teasing, hurriedly catching the jade slip and infused her divine soul into it.

Upon seeing the message Shen Yi had sent back, a look of astonishment gradually emerged on her face, finally understanding why the Human Emperor was silent just now.

Shen Yi had gone to the North Continent to escape the pursuit of the Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva, merely surviving and keeping a low profile was already quite an achievement.

Ever since hearing that Shen Yi seemed unwilling to walk the path arranged by the Human Emperor, Ye Lan’s heart had been uneasy.

What kind of place was the North Continent, the holy land where the Sanqing Sect Leader lectured, like a magnified Southern Sumeru tenfold, where casually walking on the road one might look up and see a Daluo Immortal passing by.

Trying to stir up trouble in such a place was akin to courting death.

Yet the content within the jade slip made one’s heart beat faster... Shen Yi not only entered under the seat of Lingxu Cave, but he also became a disciple going through worldly trials on behalf of that lineage, a status typically reserved for the personal chief disciple.

Even more extraordinary was that Shen Yi actually succeeded, establishing a foothold in the North Continent!

The calm tone of the writing suggested that troubles were cleared and everything was stable.

"He wants to know the situation of the other continents."

The man soaked in the wine, his expression slightly strange. This young man, who could barely protect himself, not only succeeded in standing firm, but also had the leisure to worry about the world.

It made him momentarily unsure who was the real Human Emperor.
