Resurrection! Immortal Emperor's Imperial Decree!

The darkness of night could leave one helpless.

Mu Lingxi finally regained consciousness and struggled to open her eyes, tears still clinging to their corners.

"You're awake?"

Ye Zichen lit an oil lamp. Its bright light shone into Mu Lingxi's eyes, yet it felt so warm.

After shielding her eyes for a moment, Mu Lingxi finally came to her senses and sat up.

Ye Zichen walked to the bedside and wiped away Mu Lingxi's tears. "Come with me," he said gently.

Hearing this, Mu Lingxi got up.

Ye Zichen took Mu Lingxi's hand and waved his other hand. The two of them and Grandma's body vanished from the room.

Above the clouds stood a small courtyard, wreathed in mist like an immortal paradise on earth.

This was a small enclosed domain Ye Zichen had claimed when he first came to the Central Continent. It was a world unto itself, undetectable to anyone.

Ye Zichen and Mu Lingxi arrived there in the blink of an eye. He then led Mu Lingxi to a stone stool on the other side and had her sit down. Sitting opposite her, he brewed a pot of tea.

"A hundred reincarnations would be hard for an ordinary person to bear, let alone a child."

Ye Zichen spoke calmly as he poured Mu Lingxi a cup of hot tea and handed it to her.

"Brother Ye... so you..." Mu Ling's hand paused slightly as she took the tea, surprised.

So Big Brother had known from the very beginning...

"At the start, I saw your reincarnations, so I wanted to help you."

Ye Zichen took a sip of tea as he spoke.

"Then, Brother, are you afraid of me as I am now?"

Although she now knew how extraordinary this Big Brother was, she was also afraid of how to face Ye Zichen as she was now.

Hearing this, Ye Zichen couldn't help feeling helpless at how overly sensible Mu Lingxi had become.

He set down his teacup and went over to Mu Lingxi. Crouching down, he pinched her cheek as he usually did and said gently:

"Actually, if you want to cry, you can let it out, Lingxi."

At Ye Zichen's words, Mu Lingxi, who had lived through a hundred reincarnations, finally burst into tears. Her emotional defenses crumbled completely!

Seeing this, Ye Zichen gently embraced Mu Lingxi. This little girl, only eight years old, was finally free at this moment!

A long time passed,

and the sky began to brighten. The sound of Mu Lingxi's crying gradually faded.

"Brother Ye... can you still... save... save my grandma?"

After learning that Ye Zichen was an immortal cultivator, Mu Lingxi clung to her last sliver of hope and pleaded once more.

She wanted to hold on to her last remaining family in these hundred lives.

"Don't worry. I still hope the Lingxi I know will always stay this way, lively and adorable, full of anticipation for the world."

Ye Zichen stood up and smiled.

As long as a mortal's soul had not entered reincarnation, Ye Zichen could recall it and reverse life and death.

Under the influence of karma, whether or not those little thugs killed her grandma, the laws of karma would have caused someone else to do the same in the future.

To bring about Mu Lingxi's transformation, Ye Zichen had not stopped it from happening yesterday.

Now that it was complete, it was time to resurrect Mu Lingxi's grandma!

He waved his hand, releasing Grandma's body to rest there.

Then,

"By this seat's Imperial Decree as an Immortal Emperor, I summon your soul. Return!"

Ye Zichen issued a command as an Immortal Emperor, and the next moment, a soul returned to its body.

With Ye Zichen's abilities, he did not need an Immortal Emperor's Imperial Decree to recall a mortal's soul. But recalling it with the Imperial Decree could protect the soul's owner as she stepped onto the immortal path, allowing her to extend her lifespan!

From now on, Mu Lingxi and her grandma could be said to be free of the constraints of lifespan.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Zichen sat back down on the stone stool and waved his hand. Grandma's body disappeared and returned to that little room, where it only awaited her awakening.

"In that case, stay by her side and keep her company from now on," Ye Zichen said, looking at Mu Lingxi.

Mu Lingxi watched this miraculous scene and, hearing his words, knew her grandma had come back to life. She was bouncing with life again.

"Thank you, Brother Ye!"

Mu Lingxi stepped forward and hugged Ye Zichen to thank him.

"A Reincarnation Immortal Physique is destined to ascend to the throne of an Immortal Emperor. Here is a Cultivation Method. From now on, practice it whenever you have time."

Ye Zichen reached out and sent a strand of spiritual power into Mu Lingxi's mind.

"Huh? This... Big Brother, I shouldn't..."

Mu Lingxi felt that she already knew enough, so she was embarrassed to accept it.

Besides, Brother Ye had just said he was an Immortal Emperor! The knowledge in her head told her just what kind of existence an Immortal Emperor was! She was a little worried.

Ye Zichen flicked Mu Lingxi's forehead. "Consider it payment for half a year's worth of flower crowns."

"Then... thank you, Brother Ye!"

Mu Lingxi bowed deeply.

"It's getting late. Hurry back!"

Ye Zichen made to send her back.

"Um... Brother Ye, the tea you just made was delicious! Also, happy New Year!"

She waved goodbye and happily went back.

"That silly girl..." She had even given him a blessing before leaving.

Ye Zichen took off the exquisite flower crown and looked it over several times in his hands. "Happy New Year," he murmured.

He then put the flower crown away and composed himself.

"All right... now that she's gone, you can show yourself too, Heavenly Dao."

Ye Zichen resumed the bearing of an emperor, and the words he spoke were shocking!

"Heavenly Dao pays respects to Lord Immortal Emperor and wishes you everlasting imperial fortune!"

An ethereal voice rang out, and a figure whose gender could not be discerned materialized a zhang in front of Ye Zichen.

"This seat has been in this realm for several years. Have you finally deigned to show yourself?"

Without so much as glancing at Heavenly Dao, Ye Zichen poured himself another cup of tea.

"Please quell your anger, Lord Immortal Emperor. I have been unable to recover from my injuries. Only now that I have improved slightly have I been able to meet you!"

Heavenly Dao bent his knees, not daring to show the slightest negligence in his words. The Heavenly Dao of a lower realm could use the power of Heavenly Dao's rules to bar those at or below the Immortal Venerable cultivation level from descending from the Immortal Realm.

Those below the Immortal Venerable level could not easily descend in their true bodies, and even their clones would have their strength suppressed upon descending.

If they harmed the lower realm, they would be slain by a force that traced back to their true bodies.

But Immortal Emperors were beyond that scope, controlled by no one. Even the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm had no jurisdiction over them and could only offer advice.

"Enough. This seat knows about your little problem. Get to the matter at hand." Ye Zichen took another sip of tea and gave his instruction.

But Heavenly Dao suddenly said, "Then might Lord Immortal Emperor have a way to help me restore my strength?"

Since Lord Immortal Emperor had just said he knew the nature of his injuries, he should have a way to help him! He had to ask!

"That depends on this seat's mood. I think you're fine as you are. There's no need to recover."

Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered to help him. It would cost him a whole one percent of his strength! Too great a loss. He wouldn't do it.

"This... yes, Lord Immortal Emperor." Heavenly Dao knew Ye Zichen was unwilling to help him, but there was nothing he could do. He could only heal himself slowly.
