Chapter 528: 160 Heading to Emperor’s Mansion (In Need of Monthly Ticket) _1
Crossing the familial grand hall and entering the back courtyard, a puppet-like figure was already there, drawing water from a Spiritual Spring to a stone table, with a small stove in hand, boiling some water to prepare tea for the three ancestors of the Shi family.
In a flash, three figures appeared in the back courtyard, and with another quick movement, they arrived at the stone table.
Leading the way was the ancestor of the Shi family, followed by the ancestors of the Mu Feng Commerce Association and the Tai Yuan Commerce Association. All three Nascent Soul True Monarchs had a radiant glow in their eyes at this moment, as if they were gathering the brilliance of the stars. They draw upon all their might, exuding an immense force of immortal dao spirits.
The concurrence of their three sacred auras did not disturb the surrounding space in the slightest.
However, in the eyes of the puppet-like figure, two deep blue and one bright green celestial forces were pressuring him with a monumental force.
These energy forces faced an invisible barrier a yard away from this figure, stalling their progression entirely.
Just as the spring water boiled, with a wave of a hand, four Spirit Jade cups were placed on the stone table. The boiling spring water was poured into a teapot and within two breath’s time, guided by a finger, four strands of Spiritual Tea was drawn out of the teapot and into four cups.
Having completed these preparations, the puppet-like figure looked up at the slightly sterner looking ancestors, smiled lightly and stretched out a hand inviting them to drink: “Would the three Taoist Friends care for some tea?”
The ancestor of the Shi family’s pupils shrank in surprise as he stared at the invisible barrier standing a yard in front of the figure.
This is not a power from the Tao Realm.
Then what could this invisible barrier be?
He noticed a ripple in space but did not consider it as a spatial power.
After staring at the barrier for a moment, the ancestor of the Shi family began to suppress his own imposing power. The other two ancestors followed suit in noticing this change and likewise quelled their energies.
The three of them casually took steps forward, prepared to sit down and converse with the puppet-like figure.
However.
Just as they approached the one yard barrier radius of the figure, the previously faced invisible barrier once more obstructed their paths.
The Shi family ancestor’s gaze became colder as they turned to the puppet-like figure, saying quietly: “It seems our friend does not welcome us.”
He stared into the figure with intensity.
He observed the figure’s aura and saw that its power was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Could this being that is of such little power dare to make such demands?
The figure chuckled, picked up a teacup and took a sip. Without looking at the Shi family ancestor, he said: “Three Taoist friends came uninvited, also bringing in tow servants, invading the dominion of this Island Master. Should I welcome you?”
“If I as the Island Master were to breach the boundaries of Shi’s island, perhaps Taoist friend Shi would not even break into a smile.”
Only then, the puppet-like figure looked at them again, “If you three Taoist Friends don’t sit down now, this Spiritual Tea may go to waste.”
The eyes of the Shi family ancestor and his two companions hardened.
The invisible barrier still blocked their path.
The figure’s words proved quite clear; unless they were strong enough to breach the barrier, they would not be deserving of sitting in his company, having tea, and hence calling him a fellow Taoist friend!
Understanding this intent, the Shi family ancestors became furious, what audacity!
Merely at the first level of Nascent Soul Realm, he dared to challenge the three of them?
“Hmph!”
The ancestor of the Shi family huffed coldly and manifested his dao spirit once more. It shrouded everything in the vicinity and seemed to shake the earth and sky. The world around the Huangling Mountain became shrouded in dimness. Huang Pu, the Black Jiao Priest, and Taoist Fujiang all wore expressions of change. Under the looming anger of the Shi family patriarch, they all experienced a feeling of suffocation.
Just like a mountain crushing heavily on their chests.
This dreadful sacred energy filled them all with fear.
“What?”
“What just happened to the backyard?”
“Are the True Monarchs going to fight?”
The hearts of Huang Pu, the Black Jiao Priest, and others trembled with fear, as they felt an instinctive panic.
After all, they were dealing with three True Monarchs!
Could a True Monarch be resisted by just one?
“Boom!”
In the backyard,
The Shi family ancestor concentrated his dao spirit. In an instant, he clashed hard against the invisible barrier in front of him. As visible to the minds’ eyes of the puppet-like figure and the two other ancestors, endless green immortal light was now raging against the invisible barrier with fervor.
Only when the dao spirit of the Shi family ancestor had reached its peak intensity-level, and when he was visibly grinding his teeth in exertion, the invisible barrier retreated backward.
When the puppet-like figure retracted the spatial barrier, the Shi family ancestor was caught off guard.
He experienced a sense of frustration, like punching into thin air.
The puppet-like figure laughed lightly, beckoned, and said: “Taoist friend Shi indeed has some strength. Please, sit.”
Subsequently, the puppet-like figure turned to the two Nascent Soul True Monarch ancestors from the Mu Feng Commerce Association and the Tai Yuan Commerce Association. Their cultivation was not very high.
The ancestor of Mu Feng Commerce Association was perhaps in the middle phase of the Nascent Soul Realm, while the one from Tai Yuan Commerce Association could possibly be in the later phase.
Compared to the ancestor of the Shi family, who was at the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm, there was quite a difference in strength.
At this moment.
The Shi family ancestor and the others looked at the puppet-like figure with a more solemn gaze, filled with a sense of deep-seated horror and shock, remaining unexpressed.
After all, upon their observation, the aura they felt from within the puppet-like figure had a cultivation base no more than the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Yet that invisible barrier was strong enough to resist the ancestor of the Shi family!
What does this mean?
It means that the puppet-like figure’s strength might be so great that the Shi family ancestor could not even combat it!
The three of them entered, sat down in silence, all of which transpired in a matter of mere moments.
