Chapter 1214 - Chapter 1214 Chapter 759 Joyful Occasion in the Village

Chapter 1214: Chapter 759: Joyful Occasion in the Village Chapter 1214: Chapter 759: Joyful Occasion in the Village “Let it be, everyone has their own choices, perhaps the path he has chosen is, for him, the true broad and grand road,” Jiang Hui gently shook his head, his gaze withdrawn, seemingly not taking the matter to heart.

Afterward, he looked toward Jiang Panwang and smiled faintly, “You’ve done very well.”

Jiang Hui was actually not very skilled at praising others, especially since the other party was an old Immortal King who had lived countless tens of thousands of years longer than himself.

So after pondering for a moment, that was all he could manage to express.

But for Panwang, it was already enough.

As for Panwang’s little schemes…

They were just some minor thoughts of wanting to express his position in front of himself, and of course, the more the better.

“I thank you for your recognition, Emperor,” Panwang said with a smile, seizing the opportunity to climb higher.

“I’ll give you one as well.”

Jiang Hui considered for a moment, muttered inwardly, and then conjured another Emperor’s Way Droplet.

Although he didn’t think Panwang would be able to comprehend much from it, he had already praised the other party, and the other party had even endured a beating; it would seem somewhat unjustified if there wasn’t any tangible reward.

But Panwang was after all an esteemed Immortal King who had experienced many fortuitous encounters, having become an Immortal from an Undying Peach Tree, whose fruits could grant eternal life to living beings, so naturally, his resources were extraordinary.

Common items would surely not interest him; only things related to Emperor’s Creation could stir his heart.

The Emperor’s Law Droplet appeared like a droplet, suspended in front of Panwang.

Panwang was momentarily stunned, then tremblingly received the crystal clear Emperor’s Way Droplet.

There it floated above his palm, emitting a faint glow, as if it contained endless mysteries.

Panwang involuntarily pursed his lips, feeling a hot rush through his body, and was almost moved to let out a long howl.

The Rule entwined within the droplet-shaped imprint far exceeded his imagination; with just a bit of thought, it was clear that it likely had something to do with the Emperor Realm.

What did this imply?

It implied that he had already made a mark in the Emperor’s Heart.

The beating he had just endured was not in vain.

But it was prudent not to make a fool of himself in front of the Emperor.

So he quickly composed himself, leaving only deep reverence and gratitude.

“Emperor, I have no way to repay your generosity,”

Panwang’s voice sounded slightly choked up.

“Friendly reminder: Panwang’s Faith Value has increased significantly.”

“Friendly reminder: Panwang’s Faith Value has reached the level of utter loyalty.”

The emotionless prompt sounded.

Jiang Hui’s eyebrows moved slightly; evidently, he did not expect this effect.

Above utter loyalty is Messenger, and further up would be a zealot.

It seemed he did not yet have a follower of the Immortal King level who was a direct zealot.

But thinking back, having such an effect was naturally the result of many factors combined.

If he had rewarded the Emperor’s Law mark to the other party directly from the start, this effect would not have occurred.

Firstly, the other party needed to have the desire to earn his approval and to have made some sacrifices for it.

So, this was rather a fortuitous fluke.

“No need for many words, this is what you deserve,” Jiang Hui said with a light smile.

“Reflect deeply, but the Emperor Realm is completely different from the King’s Domain; even if I explained too much to you, it would be useless, everything depends on your personal comprehension.

If you grasp it, you will be able to advance further; if not, you may very well be stuck here for the rest of your life, so you need to be mentally prepared.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Emperor, I have taken it all to heart,” Panwang nodded, noncommittally.

“Go.”

“Yes.”

Panwang bowed and returned directly to Pan King City, eager to go into seclusion to attempt a breakthrough. Who wouldn’t want to break through from King to Emperor?

Even if his disposition had been tempered over the long years, in the end, he was still hard-pressed to restrain himself.

…

…

In the village.

Nestled by mountains, wrapped in clouds and mist, ancient trees stretching skyward creating a serene and profound tranquility.

Upon hearing of Gu Chen and others returning from The Boundary Sea, Brother Tu immediately invited everyone to his home for a hearty drink.

The moon hung full and high.

Naturally, there was no end to the cheerful laughter.

The meal consisted of dishes expertly prepared by the War Goddess.

Twelve courses in total, each bursting with color, aroma, and flavor.

They had the warriors, who had long forsworn the mortal fare, salivating uncontrollably.

“Sister-in-law’s cooking skills are truly unparalleled.”

Gu Chen, unconcerned with the heat, directly grabbed a sizzling lamb chop with his hand and popped it into his mouth.

“Ha ha ha, as long as Brother Gu likes it, feel free to come over more often. Sister-in-law’s culinary talents are always at your service.”

Brother Tu laughed heartily, not hesitating to pick up the dishes with his chopsticks either.

The two old acquaintances naturally had no need for courtesies, especially since they had been in seclusion before, savoring these rare moments of peace.

Gu Chen felt genuinely happy for Brother Tu.

First, among all his acquaintances, he had known Brother Tu the longest. Even though they weren’t related by blood, their bond was even stronger than that of true brothers.

Moreover, he knew well the nature of Brother Tu, acknowledging that he was indeed a person with a strong sense of pride.

Gu Chen, the Ten Crown King, along with Banished Immortal, were all very pleased.

Brother Tu’s step into the King’s Domain meant that, once again, they could fight side by side,

In their years, it was rare to find someone so well known to them, someone to whom they could entrust their backs.

As for the realm above, the Emperor’s Realm…

It was not even a consideration for them at the moment.

After several rounds of drinks, Gu Chen suddenly spoke earnestly, “Brother Tu, now that you have reached the King’s Domain, according to Adult’s rules, I’m afraid you’ll need to go out and lead a King City. Have you thought about the location?

If you haven’t decided yet, we can help you ponder it. After all, the closer to the village, the better.

It doesn’t matter anywhere else outside the Immortal Domain, but if a great disaster falls, we must protect the village at all costs.”

“In that case, I’ll choose somewhere close,” Brother Tu promptly nodded without thinking.

“Yes, being close does indeed make it convenient for us to look after one another,” the Ten Crown King nodded in agreement and then continued, “There are a few places quite suitable. Let’s go investigate them tomorrow to see which is the best fit.”

“Thank you, Brother Gu,” Brother Tu raised his glass in gratitude.

Everyone around raised their glasses in agreement, clinking them together amidst the table full of joyous laughter.

During the meal, the War Goddess, seeing everyone so spirited and although she wasn’t fond of drinking, couldn’t help but take a few modest sips herself.

It was late into the night.

The bright moon was like a jade wheel.

Its clear brilliance draped like a sheer curtain over the countryside.

But at that moment,

A roar, deafening as a bell or drum, suddenly erupted.

So powerful, it made the mountains tremble, birds ceased flying, and stones rolled down.

“This is… the Black Python Protector!”

Brother Tu immediately recognized where the sound had come from.

“Could it be that the Black Python Protector is in danger?”

“That’s unlikely. This is the village, after all. Who in the world would dare enter the village right under Adult’s watchful eye?

Not to mention that the Black Python Protector’s strength is formidable, on par with a King’s.”

Banished Immortal shook his head as he analyzed the situation.

“Well, let’s go and see for ourselves,” impatient as ever, the Ten Crown King’s words barely finished before he took a step out, rushing toward a towering waterfall peak.

The others quickly followed suit.

Only upon their arrival did they realize a crowd had gathered, led by none other than Old Man Lin.

In addition to him, there were Lin Chen and Lin Zhuang, the two brothers, their bodies shimmering with golden light, illuminating the place as if it were daylight.
