Chapter 1104 Zhongzhou, Yunhe Tower
However, even though those old men, who were surrounded by the pressure of the Divine Emperor, used compasses, spirit mirrors and other detection treasures, and searched the void within a thousand miles three times with the runes flowing on their fingertips, and even did not miss a wisp of drifting spiritual energy, they still could not find any trace of the mysterious strong man who had raised his hand to repair the cracks in the void.
The space that was once distorted by the cracks has long since returned to clarity, leaving only a few wisps of the faint breath belonging to the strong that have not yet dissipated, like a candle in the wind, fleeting.
Finally, the leading old Divine Emperor stopped his actions first, and his skinny fingers slowly put away the bronze compass floating in front of him. A trace of disappointment flashed in his turbid eyes, and then he sighed heavily.
Seeing this, the other few people also retracted their magical powers, and all of them had the same helplessness on their faces. Heavy sighs were intertwined in the empty sky and earth, seeming particularly lonely.
"Alas, even if a powerful person who can single-handedly heal a rift in the void were standing right in front of us, as long as he wanted to hide his figure, with our limited cultivation level, we would still be unable to see his existence!!!"
The old Divine Emperor shook his head, his voice filled with self-mockery, and a bitter smile appeared at the corners of his dry mouth.
He had lived for countless years and met countless geniuses, but he had never felt the gap between himself and the top powerhouses as clearly as he did at this moment.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, with even greater disappointment in their eyes. They knew this better than anyone else.
The existence that can "fill the void with invisibility" has long surpassed the realm of their cognition. If the other party wants to hide, it will be in vain even if they turn the world upside down.
Not long after, the few people no longer stayed. Their figures flashed and turned into several streams of light that shot up into the sky and soon disappeared into the horizon.
The crisis of the void rift has been resolved, and there is no point for them to stay here. Instead of continuing to do useless work, it is better to return to the tribe as soon as possible and tell the children in the tribe what they have seen and heard today, so that they will know that there is always a bigger world out there.
Little did they know that the powerful man who had resolved the catastrophe of heaven and earth invisibly had already left the area with his two female disciples and was traveling freely around the world.
At this moment, he is accompanying his disciples to see mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, living a shameless life away from disputes and envying only mandarin ducks and not immortals.
He guided his disciples in their cultivation during the day, and at night he would find a quiet valley to brew tea and discuss Taoism. Occasionally, he would accompany his disciples to pick some wild fruits in the mountains. His life was very pleasant.
Three months after the void rift crisis, Ye Chen, wearing a moon-white robe and a jade pendant engraved with the word "Chen" hanging around his waist, stepped into the Zhongzhou area of this world with his two disciples.
As soon as you step into the territory of Zhongzhou, a strong and almost insoluble spiritual energy hits you in the face, flowing into your limbs and bones along with your breath, making you feel refreshed.
Zhongzhou is the undisputed central region of this world.
Looking around, the rolling mountains are like a giant dragon, with clouds and mist shrouding the mountains. Cities floating in the air can be vaguely seen, with runes flashing above the cities, exuding a majestic aura.
On the ground, wide stone roads crisscrossed, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road. Most of them were dressed in brocade clothes, and they all had more or less the aura of cultivators. Occasionally, you could see cultivators riding exotic beasts galloping past, leaving behind a gust of wind.
This place is not only the most prosperous, but also the most vast. It stretches from the endless sea in the south to the polar ice fields in the north, from the desert Gobi in the west to the vast forest in the east, encompassing almost all landforms in the world.
More importantly, Zhongzhou’s cultivation resources are the best in the world.
Spiritual herbs that are over a thousand years old can be seen everywhere, and the rivers flow with spiritual liquids that can nourish the soul. Even the concentration of spiritual energy in the air is dozens of times higher than in other areas.
It is also because of this that the number of strong people cultivated in Zhongzhou far exceeds that of other places. From the Divine Emperors and Divine Kings who rule over a region to the up-and-coming young geniuses, they can be seen almost everywhere.
Naturally, competition in Zhongzhou is more frequent and fiercer than in other places.
Here, just because you took a second look at a treasure in the market, you might become enemies with the children of a big family.
Even accidentally saying the wrong thing in a restaurant could lead to fatal consequences.
Many times, you would be rejoicing over obtaining a treasure one moment, and the next moment you might be being chased and forced to flee in a panic. In order to save your life, you could only try your best to escape from Zhongzhou and never dare to set foot on this land again.
In Lingxiao City, the core city of Zhongzhou, there is a most famous restaurant called Yunhe Tower.
This restaurant is built against the mountain. The main building is nine stories high and is made entirely of white jade. Countless glazed lamps are hung under the eaves. They shine brightly during the day and are brightly lit at night. From a distance, it looks like a crane spreading its wings to fly, very majestic.
Yunhe Tower is the most expensive restaurant in the entire Zhongzhou. Two guards in golden armor stand at the door, emitting the aura of an early-stage God King. Their eyes are as sharp as knives as they scan the passers-by.
Ordinary monks would be forced back by the guards' gazes if they just stayed at the door for a moment, let alone stepping into the restaurant.
People without any wealth don’t even have the courage to approach Yunhe Tower.
Of course, the services provided by Yunhe Tower are naturally top-notch.
Whether it is the maids in the building or the servants responsible for serving the dishes, they have all undergone rigorous training and their words and actions are elegant and appropriate.
The decoration inside the restaurant is extremely luxurious. Calligraphy and paintings by famous artists of all ages are hung on the walls. The tables and chairs are all made of thousand-year-old red sandalwood, and the tabletops are inlaid with tiny gems that sparkle under the lights.
Apart from anything else, the ingredients of Yunhelou alone are beyond the reach of many other restaurants.
Take the Taichu Green Lotus Seeds for example, this treasure only grows in special secret realms.
If you want to pick the Taichu Green Lotus seeds, you have to fight with strange beasts for life and death. Every time you pick them, you have to pay a huge price, and you may even lose your life!
Moreover, even if you can ask a powerful cultivator to help you pick them, you may not be able to find any trace of the Primordial Green Lotus Seeds.
The location where the Taichu Green Lotus Seed grows is constantly changing, and trying to find it in the vast secret realm is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, Taichu Green Lotus Seeds are extremely precious in the outside world. One can cause countless people to scramble for it in the market, and may even lead to bloody conflicts.
However, in Yunhe Tower, as long as the customers pay enough treasures.
For example, if you have divine crystals containing the power of laws, or natural treasures that can improve your cultivation, you can enjoy the delicacies made from the Taichu Green Lotus Seeds!
Whether it is clear-boiled lotus seed soup or lotus seed cake, it can retain the spiritual energy of the primordial green lotus seeds to the greatest extent. It tastes sweet and refreshing, and can nourish the soul of the cultivator, which is of great benefit to spiritual practice.
In addition, Yunhe Tower has an even more amazing dish - Thunder Prison Dragon Liver!
The Thunder Prison Dragons are a powerful tribe in Zhongzhou, with many strong people in the tribe.
The Thunder Prison Dragon Clan is violent and vindictive. Any force that provokes them will end up being exterminated. Therefore, many forces in Zhongzhou are in awe of the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan and dare not provoke them in the slightest.
But the liver of the Thunder Prison Dragon is a rare delicacy!
It is said that the liver of the Thunder Prison Dragon is dark red and covered with tiny golden lines on the surface.
After cooking, it has bright color, emits rich aroma, melts in the mouth, has a delicate and soft texture, without any fishy smell, but with a faint dragon power, which makes people excited after eating it.
Moreover, the liver of the Thunder Prison Dragon condenses most of the essence of the Thunder Prison Dragon's body, and contains majestic dragon energy and the power of laws.
If a cultivator eats the liver of a Thunder Prison Dragon, he can not only quickly improve his own cultivation, but also strengthen his body, and even have the opportunity to comprehend the laws of thunder attributes!
However, the biggest problem in eating the liver of the Thunder Prison Dragon is that you must have the courage to endure the hatred and pursuit of the Thunder Prison Dragon clan!
There was once a powerful God-Emperor-level warrior who, after hearing about the deliciousness of the Thunder Prison Dragon's liver, could not suppress his curiosity. He ignored the advice of others and directly broke into the habitat of the Thunder Prison Dragon clan. He hunted down a God-King-level Thunder Prison Dragon, took out the dragon's liver on the spot, and ate it raw.
Even that powerful Divine Emperor stood in front of the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan's habitat and declared, "It's an honor for you, a mere little dragon, to be eaten by me. You should be grateful!"
Even though he knew that his actions would arouse the wrath of the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan, he didn't care at all - in his opinion, no matter how powerful the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan was, they would not dare to attack a Divine Emperor.
After these remarks were made, they indeed caused the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan to be completely furious!
The entire tribe was furious as never before. The tribe's ancestor personally issued an order, vowing to grind the bones of that powerful God Emperor into ashes and make sure he died a miserable death!
All the strong men in the clan came out in full force, searching everywhere for the trace of the Divine Emperor. For a time, the entire Central Plains was shrouded in the wrath of the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan.
At first, the powerful Divine Emperor thought that this was just a bluff from the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan.
After all, a Divine Emperor-level existence is already the top combat force in Zhongzhou. No matter how angry the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan is, they dare not really become enemies with a Divine Emperor. At most, they can just talk nonsense to avoid bringing shame to the clan.
But what he didn't expect was that the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan was serious this time.
Not only did the tribe send out all of their God King-level powerhouses, but the God Emperor-level ancestor also took action personally, setting up a tight net. In just three months, they found the trace of the God Emperor.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in a valley. The ancestor of the Thunder Prison Dragon used the forbidden technique of the clan, which mobilized the power of thunder between heaven and earth, and beat the powerful Divine Emperor without any chance of fighting back.
Finally, he smashed his soul with a palm, chopped off his head, and hung it on the most conspicuous stone pillar outside the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan's habitat, so that all the monks passing by could see it - this is the end of provoking the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan!
However, even such a powerful ethnic group did not dare to cause trouble for Yunhe Tower!
Because, on the menu of Yunhe Tower, there is actually a dish called Thunder Prison Dragon Liver!
Moreover, as long as the customers can afford enough treasures, they can taste this supreme delicacy in Yunhe Tower without any risk.
There is no need to worry about being discovered by the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan, nor is there any need to worry about being hunted down.
This shows how profound the status and heritage of Yunhe Tower is in Zhongzhou.
There is no other force in the entire Central Plains that can make the Thunder Prison Dragon Clan so fearful.
Ye Chen brought two disciples and came to Yunhe Tower today.
He walked slowly up the steps. Behind him, Youruo was wearing a light blue dress with delicate orchid patterns embroidered on the hem. Her long black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, making her look elegant and refined.
Xie Purou was wearing a lavender dress, with a curious look on her face and a pair of bright big eyes looking around, looking lively and cute.
As the three of them stepped into the restaurant, a rich aroma hit them in the face.
The aroma, a blend of the richness of spirit wine, the charred aroma of roasted meat, and the sweetness of spirit fruit, instantly whetted one's appetite. The sight that greeted them was even more astonishing.
The interior of the restaurant is much more spacious than it appears from the outside. The floor is paved with transparent crystal, and you can clearly see the spiritual spring flowing below.
Above the head, there are dozens of small fairy islands floating, each with an exquisite pavilion built on it. The pavilions are surrounded by clouds and mist, and occasionally cranes fly by, making crisp calls.
This place doesn't look like a restaurant at all, but rather like a huge sect with profound heritage!
Not long after entering, a man came up to greet me. He was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, with an upright figure, a handsome face, and a gentle smile on his lips, which made people feel good when they saw him.
"How can I help you, three people?"
The young man came up to the three of them, bowed slightly, and asked respectfully.
His voice is gentle and pleasant, which makes people feel comfortable listening to it.
The young man was wearing the uniform of Yunhe Tower. The overall color was moon white, and the fabric was delicate and soft. On the chest and back was embroidered with a crane with its head held high and chest puffed out in gold thread. The crane's wings were spread out, and it looked lifelike, as if it would fly out of the clothes at the next moment.
This young man's strength is surprisingly not weak, he has already reached the peak level of a Godly Lord!
You know, although the cultivation level of a peak God King cannot be considered a giant in the outside world, it is definitely not considered a weakling at the bottom. No matter which force he joins, he will be valued and will be successful wherever he goes.
But who could have imagined that such a cultivator at the peak of the Divine King level would actually be working as a receptionist in Yunhe Tower?
While the young servant was speaking, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Youruo and Xie Purou from the corner of his eye and was stunned by their appearance.
She is elegant and refined, with a temperament like orchid, and her eyes are as calm as water, but with an indescribable charm.
Xie Purou is lively and smart, with a sweet smile, just like peach blossoms in spring, which makes people's eyes bright.
The beauty of these two women can be described as "stunning". Even the young ladies from the big families he had met in Yunhe Tower could not compare to them.
His gaze subconsciously lingered for a moment longer, and his heart was filled with waves.
But as a waiter in Yunhe Tower, he had to remain professional. Staring at customers' faces was very impolite, not to mention that he looked so inappropriate.
His heart tightened, and he quickly forced himself to divert his attention, lowered his head, and looked at his toes, no longer daring to look at these two peerless beauties.
