Chapter 1628: Chapter 989: Emperor Huanfen’s Request

Bidding farewell to the benevolent thoughts, Jiang Hui exited the space and returned to the attic.

Outside the attic, mist swirled around, and the Spiritual Energy fell like fine rain.

Inside the attic, it was quite tranquil.

Jiang Hui settled into a carved pear wood chair, massaging his temples, suddenly recalling Ye Fan’s ascension to Immortal Emperor.

Do not worry about scarcity, but about inequality,

since Shi Hao was rewarded.

The renowned Ye Emperor must not be treated unjustly.

Both are assured potential stocks.

Others are still uncertain.

But Emperor Huang Tian and Ye Emperor are sure to step into the Sacrificial Path State in the future.

The true potential stocks, born in response to destiny and calamity.

Investing now is not considered too early.

With this thought settled, Jiang Hui immediately sent a message to Old Man Lin, instructing him to deliver a congratulatory gift to Ye Fan.

At that moment, a light and rhythmic footstep was heard.

"Deng deng deng."

The sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs of the attic was as clear and pleasant as a mountain stream, falling on the heavy wooden boards without seeming heavy.

The sound drew closer.

Soon, a tall figure entered Jiang Hui’s sight.

Along with the appearance of this figure, a fragrance as refreshing as flowers and herbs permeated the air.

The scent was fresh and elegant, as if it could cleanse the dust from one’s heart, bringing peace and joy, as if even the chaotic mind could be calmed.

Jiang Hui understood, without needing to look, from the unique fragrance lingering around his nose and the light footsteps, he already knew the newcomer’s identity.

Emperor Huanfen.

"Fellow Daoist Emperor Huanfen, perfect timing, I just broke open two jars of Monkey Wine reserved for eons, now fretting that there was no one to share it with." Jiang Hui spoke with a smile, not even looking up.

Monkey Wine, brewed from various fruits along with precious Treasure medicinal plants, is a strong liquor, and the longer it is aged, the more flavorful the aroma becomes.

When the words fell, one could see Emperor Huanfen dressed in a purple arrow-collared dress, slowly entering the pavilion.

The purple dress was lightweight and adorned with patterns of white clouds, flowers, and trees, every thread and needle extremely exquisite, as if the most delicate brushwork of nature.

Despite the abundance of elements, it did not appear chaotic, but rather added a touch of grace and elegance, outlining Emperor Huanfen’s enchanting figure to perfection.

Her shoulders were slender, waist like a chord, her figure enchanting to the extreme, like a fairy walking out from a painting. Her skin was as smooth as condensed jade, fair and delicate, seemingly blushing with a gentle touch. Her features were delicately picturesque, each aspect just right, as if crafted by nature’s finest artistry.

"In that case, it seems arriving early does not compare to arriving in time."

Emperor Huanfen’s voice was crisp and melodious, like a mountain stream gurgling delightfully, yet as gentle and tender as the spring breeze blowing over a lake.

Jiang Hui laughed heartily, stood up to welcome her: "For Fellow Daoist Emperor Huanfen to come, it is just what I wished for. Come, come, have a seat, let’s enjoy the wine and talk."

Saying this, he led Emperor Huanfen to sit by a carved round table within the pavilion.

On the round table were several plates of exquisite pastries and fruits, along with a set of fine porcelain drinking utensils.

Jiang Hui personally poured two cups of Monkey Wine, the wine crystal-clear in color, its aroma intoxicating, rich and sweet.

He handed a glass to Emperor Huanfen, the two of them raised their glasses in a toast, sipping slowly, chatting and laughing.

As the wine went around three times, Emperor Huanfen put down her glass, parting her lips lightly, a note of incredulity in her voice:

"It’s been just a short time since my scripture reading, yet one after another has stepped into the Ultimate Path level, it’s simply unimaginable."

Throughout the ages, the birth of even one Immortal Emperor is rare, it’s the shackle of the Great Taoist, but now they’re appearing like a gushing spring, how can one not be astounded?

According to Emperor Huanfen’s original estimation, although these people possessed exceptional talent, talent alone could not determine an achievement of the Ultimate Path.

Among the many, achieving even one true step was already excellent, perhaps even none.

After all, in the endless universe, Great Thousand World, countless epochs passing by, talent is always lacking, but what’s ironically abundant are talents.

From ancient times, prodigies like quicksand in the water, as plentiful as fish crossing the river, and yet how many could step into the Ultimate Path, seen from where she stood above Heaven, not a single one.

This is the reality!

Of course, what amazed Emperor Huanfen the most, to the point of bursting into exclamations—

those who broke through, almost each of them, had deep ties with Jiang Hui.

He had life-saving grace for Ye Daoist.

For that first one, named Huang the Daoist, he had recognition, life-saving, support, promotion, and imparting path favor.

The rest were all followers of Brother Jiang of the Dao.

"Ultimate Path-level beings as followers, this is utterly extraordinary, I can hardly imagine such a scenario."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui’s lips curved into a humble smile, he softly replied: "It’s merely some luck on my part."

But Emperor Huanfen shook her head, downing the cup of Monkey Wine in one go, her eyes firm: "Brother Jiang of the Dao’s words are mistaken, for luck is also a part of strength. Without something extraordinary, how could there be such fortune?"

Jiang Hui smiled, refilling Emperor Huanfen’s drink, shifting the topic: "Your purpose in coming, fellow Daoist, surely it’s not just for these reflections, right?"

Upon hearing this, the laziness on Emperor Huanfen’s demeanor instantly vanished, she nodded earnestly: "I came specifically today indeed for another matter, yet I ponder whether to speak it or not."
