Chapter 2004 Emperor Feng And High Elder Juxue Meet The Ever Spring Mistress

As if Spring had arrived, a pleasing warm feeling washed over all those that were standing around the array. From the previous oppressively strong wave of Qi, it was now replaced by a welcoming aura. It was completely opposite and made one feel a bit perplexed.

But that was nothing compared to when they finally saw the source of it all.

"A… Girl?" Emperor Feng looked at the celestial that had just appeared.

She looked like a beautiful young girl, that would draw the attention of all those that saw her. And yet, when Emperor Feng looked at her eyes, he got an intense feeling of maturity. 'It's like I'm looking at an ancient forest…' Emperor Feng couldn't help but feel.

Even when he had met his grandfather, Emperor Feng hadn't felt like this. This greatly contrasted against the young girl's appearance and made it hard for one to comprehend how one could be a celestial looking like that.

After all, from what Emperor Feng had learned about Celestials or even the ones he had met before were all old people. Even the 'younger' looking Celestials seemed to have a middle aged appearance rather than that of a teenager like in front of him.

~step~step~step~

The young girl stepped forward with a slight smile on her face. She held a small branch in her left hand, while her pink hair fluttered behind her as she took every step.

She came to a stop in front of Emperor Feng and High Elder Juxue before speaking in a very mature voice.

"Hmmm… are you the ruler of this land?" She asked in a voice that didn't match her appearance.

It was unlike what Lin Mu had heard when the girl was talking with the Saintess. "Y-yes… I'm Emperor Feng of the Dao Wind Empire." He introduced himself, almost stammering his words.

"And you must belong to the Temple." The Ever Spring mistress looked at High Elder Juxue. "I can recognize that imprint anywhere."

"Honored Celestial is correct." High Elder Juxue cupped his hands. "I am High Elder Juxue of the Temple of the Four Guardians. May we know who you are?" He replied in a practiced manner.

Emperor Feng paid his full attention, as he too wanted to know who this 'surprise' guest was.

"I am the Celestial known as the Ever Spring Mistress." She answered, making the two feel confused.

They hadn't heard of any celestial like this before and tried to think about her background or association. But they were unable to come up with anything, which was understandable as there were many celestials that they had no contact with after all.

"May I have the Honor of asking, for what reason have you graced my empire with this visit?" Emperor Feng inquired respectfully.

"Haha," The Ever Spring Mistress couldn't help but laugh seeing the nervousness of the Emperor.

It was something she was used to and also why she would use her older voice with her younger appearance. 'Teasing the youngsters is always fun.' The Ever Spring mistress thought to herself before deciding to respond. "I must say the Rust Sky world is blessed." "Blessed?" High Elder Juxue raised his brows in surprise.

"Yes… it is blessed because it gave birth to someone special." The Ever Spring Mistress replied. "And who is that favored individual?" Emperor Feng asked in doubt.

"My disciple." The Ever Spring Mistress revealed. "I've come to the Rust Sky world to accept my Disciple." "This…" Emperor Feng's eyes went wide as he heard her words. 'A Celestial recruiting a disciple personally?' He was stunned.

While there had been other cultivators from the Rust Sky world who had celestial masters. There had never been a case where a Celestial Personally descended to the Rust Sky World to take them. As such, Emperor Feng couldn't help but question who that lucky individual was.

"Now then, I must hurry and meet my disciple." The Ever Spring Mistress said with a hint of impatience.

"P-please give me the honor of guiding you." Emperor Feng said hurriedly. 'If it's someone from my empire or any other place, I have to know it firsthand.' He thought to himself.

"Hmm… very well." The Ever Spring Mistress replied. "But make sure you can keep up." She said with a chuckle before turning to the south.

"Of course! I'll do my best." Emperor Feng said and took a step, following behind the Ever Spring Mistress.

But then she did something that left him lost.

~HUALA~

Countless petals formed out of thin air and filled the vast expanse of the sky. They rose from below the feet of the Ever Spring Mistress and formed a bridge that disappeared on the horizon. The Celestial took a step onto the bridge, causing it to start shrinking!

And as the bridge shrank, it took the Ever Spring Mistress forwards.

In just a second, she turned into a blur and couldn't be seen anywhere. The bridge made out of petals had disappeared too, and only a faint presence could be felt.

"She's already gone?" Emperor Feng couldn't believe his eyes.

~Sigh~

"You're really hoping to match a celestial's pace… Just go seek out her energy. You won't be able to catch up, anyway." High Elder Juxue shook his head.

Unlike Emperor Feng, he had a lot more contact with the Celestials due to being part of the temple. He also knew how eccentric a lot of them were and that even if one was a Transcendent Immortal, matching up against them was close to impossible.

"I'll go!" Emperor Feng understood that too now, and instead decided to seek out the energy traces of the Ever Spring Mistress.

Thankfully, it seemed like she didn't intend to hide and the Emperor was able to fly after her.

'She's going to the south?' He quickly realized, sensing the traces.

~WHOOSH~

He flew at his maximum speed and soon left the capital city. But after a few minutes of flying, he found it a bit strange.
