Former Residence

"I trust my intuition!"

Nuotuo declared with absolute certainty, "Only the Emissary Lord of the Temple wear such exquisite and sturdy armor when they go out on missions. You must be the Emissary Lord! Emissary Lord, please accept my bow!"

"No, no, no, sir, this won't do, this won't do!" Luo Zhe quickly reached out to support Nuotuo's bent body.

"Dad, what are you doing?" The tall man, Nuoge, sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead. His father was really stubborn. Even though the person himself said he wasn't Divine Envoy, he still insisted that he was, and he even bowed to him.

Having sat cross-legged on the bed for a long time, his body was already a bit sluggish. With such a sudden movement, Luo Zhe felt half of his body go numb. Seeing that Nuoge had stopped his father, Nuotuo, he quickly moved his body on the ground to wait for the numbness to dissipate.

Then, with a thought, Luo Zhe's Tier 2 Force Battle Suit instantly shrank back into his body, revealing his bare upper body and a muscular physique.

He turned to the old man, Nuotuo, who was staring at him expectantly, and earnestly explained, "Sir, I'm really not an envoy from the Temple, and I only came here by chance. Although I'm very grateful to you for taking me in and protecting me, I still want to say that you've really mistaken me for someone else."

The tall man, Nuoge, chimed in, "Yes, Father. The Temple's messengers haven't visited our Noah Village for over three thousand years. How could they suddenly come like this? Besides, our Noah Village doesn't have any treasures worth the Divine Envoy messengers coming all this way for!"

You don't know anything!

The white-haired old man Nuotuo, his face flushed, pointed a trembling finger at Nuoge and scolded, "Our Noah Village is where Lord Noah rose to power! For so many years, every village chief has kept Lord Noah's former residence perfectly preserved. How could it not be worthy of Divine Envoy's special trip!"

Upon hearing the name Lord Noah, Luo Zhe instinctively thought of Noah Country Lord. Noah Village in the Noah Secret Realm? Could it be such a coincidence? This must be the village where Noah Country Lord lived in his youth?

"Uh, sir, is the Lord Noah you're talking about the ruler of the Noah Universe Country?" Luo Zhe asked tentatively.

Seeing that the two were just staring at him without saying a word, Luo Zhe took out a token from his Space Ring, with the characters "No" and "A" engraved on both sides, and asked, "Do you recognize this token?"

"Noah Token!" Nuotuo and his son exclaimed in unison.

Nuotuo immediately knelt down and respectfully bowed to the token, "Nuotuo, the 3,649th village chief of Noah Village, respectfully welcomes the Divine Envoy!"

Nuoge's expression changed, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally followed his father Nuotuo's example, pushing aside mountains of gold and jade pillars, and bowing deeply, "Shadow Guard Nuoge respectfully welcomes the Divine Envoy!"

"Huh!?" Luo Zhe was dumbfounded.

Wait, what's going on? It's just a small token, why are they kneeling down?

"Grandpa, you're so old, how can you just kneel like that! Get up, get up! If you keep doing this, I'll shorten my lifespan! And you, sir, don't just stand there! You're a World Lord recognized by the Universe Origin Law, how can you just kneel like that? Come and lend me a hand, help me up. My legs are numb, I can't move."

After much effort, they finally managed to get the father and son Nuotuo, up. To be precise, they mainly managed to persuade the stubborn old man to get up.

And you know what? This old man was really stubborn. No matter how much Luo Zhe pleaded, he insisted on completing the full kneeling ceremony before finally standing up, satisfied. ☜✌ ♠♔

"Emissary Lord, have you come here for Lord Noah's former residence?" No matter how Luo Zhe explained, ever since he took out that token, in Nuotuo's mind, Luo Zhe was a genuine Divine Envoy of the Temple.

"Well"

Luo Zhe scratched his head. How should he answer this? But he wasn't a proper Divine Envoy, after all. Who knew what a proper divine Divine Envoy would be doing here?

Nuotuo immediately understood, and with a bang of his drumstick, he struck Nuoge, who was standing there dumbfounded, and yelled, "You idiot, what are you still standing there for? Get out of here! Can't you see the Divine Envoy wants to enter the secret realm?!"

Luo Zhe was a little confused.

Nuoge, a true World Lord Level powerhouse, and one who had a profound Law Comprehension of Fire and was recognized by the fundamental World Lord of Fire Origin Law, was rebuked by Nuotuo and didn't utter a sound. He simply stood up and walked out.

Nuotuo smiled, his face crinkling with wrinkles, and said, "Please forgive us, Divine Envoy. Our Noah Village has had 3,649 successors to this generation. Since tens of thousands of years ago, the number of times the Divine Envoy have descended upon the village has been decreasing, especially in the last three thousand years, we haven't seen a single one. My foolish son is ignorant and has been quite disrespectful to the Divine Envoy Divine Envoy. Please forgive Divine Envoy."

"You're too kind, sir. Actually, I..." Luo Zhe wanted to explain one last time.

Before he could finish speaking, Nuotuo took the drumstick and swung it at the stone bed. A hazy, seven-colored beam of light hit the spot precisely, as if opening a door to a new world. A portal of light appeared from the void and floated quietly in mid-air.

"My Emissary Lord, this is where Lord Noah once lived in seclusion and cultivated. After Lord Noah left, the first village chief unsealed the secret realm and placed Lord Noah residence inside." Nuotuo said, extending his hand in an inviting gesture, "This way, please!"

Luo Zhe hesitated for a moment, and under Nuotuo's expectant gaze, he thought to himself, "With the Noah Token in hand, this guy wouldn't dare to attack me, would he? Besides, that person was a World Lord expert after all; if he really wanted to, I wouldn't be able to resist."

With that thought in mind, Luo Zhe gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and crossed the gate of light, with Nuotuo following closely behind.

After stepping through the portal, Luo Zhe's vision went black for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

What appeared to be Lord Noah's former residence was actually an ancient Cultivation Residence located in a separate space, with air currents swirling above it.

Village Chief Nuotuo stood beside Luo Zhe Luo Zhe and introduced the place to him, saying, "This is Lord Noah's former residence. In the past, Emissary Lord came here would go directly into the residence, and every village chief of Noah Village would wait here as a guardian."

"Me, go in by myself?" Luo Zhe pointed to himself, looked at Nuotuo, and asked doubtfully.

"Yes, Your Emissary Lord," Nuotuo replied respectfully.

Luo Zhe glanced at the dilapidated wooden door, paused for a moment, and then strode forward.

Pushing open the wooden door, I entered the dwelling. It was empty except for a wooden square table and a few broken wooden chairs. A quilt was spread on the stone bed. It looked no different from an ordinary house.

"Um?"

Luo Zhe suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some words faintly engraved on the stone bed, next to the quilt. When he went over to take a look, he found that they were just a few scattered words, as if someone had dug them out of the stone bed with their hands.

These passages were all transcribed in the Universal Language, and they look somewhat like insights casually transcribed by a cultivator, without any discernible pattern.

Moreover, the text was either deliberately destroyed or due to its age, and it had become somewhat blurred, with some key words no longer legible. Although he could sense a certain special artistic conception from it, Luo Zhe was not very interested in it.

Although some unique insights can be of great help to ordinary cultivators, for Luo Zhe at this stage, only by reading complete cultivation insights can he achieve a comprehensive understanding.

Such scattered insights are like chicken ribs—useless and worthless.

After wandering around the room, Luo Zhe discovered that this Lord Noah was indeed a cultivation enthusiast. Even on that wooden table, he had casually carved some random and haphazard marks.

suddenly--

Luo Zhe discovered a very peculiar line of writing in a corner of the floor.

"Stick Intent?"

Looking at the peculiar characters in the corner, Luo Zhe squatted down, carefully examining and trying to understand them. Indeed, the seemingly random characters contained a power that originated from the same source as the Stick Intent that Luo Zhe had cultivated. However, this character was not Universal Language; it seemed to be some kind of special written symbol that Luo Zhe did not understand.

Asking Xiao Qi for help when encountering problems has become a habitual action for Luo Zhe.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, do you know what this writing is?" Luo Zhe called out to Xiao Qi through his consciousness.

But Xiao Qi seemed to be asleep, and Luo Zhe received no response at all. He couldn't help but frown. What was going on? Could it be that this space had the ability to isolate the intelligence of the Optical Computer?

Updates may be delayed until this afternoon or evening. I've been quite busy lately, sorry.
