Paying Respects to a Ruler, Questions
Mystic Firmament Void Market.
Liu Yi's clone, holding the pass token, prepared to pay his respects to Ye Xuanxiao.
Although he had glimpsed some of the secrets of the Ruler, he still had many doubts in his heart and urgently needed to seek confirmation from Ye Xuanxiao.
What qualities does Ruler possess?
Is the Dao Seed Martial Dao System as beneficial as he suspected in breaking through to the Ruler Realm?
Why would the other person help me?
A multitude of doubts lingered in his mind, and looking across the myriad realms, only this Ruler could provide him with the answers.
If one were to search for and verify this on one's own, it would take countless years, and one might not even be able to find the truth.
He infused his Law Power into the pass token, causing spatial ripples to spread, and a spatial gate appeared in front of him.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped into the portal.
In the blink of an eye, he had landed in a vast garden.
The garden is filled with Innate Spirit Root, Innate spiritual flowers, and all kinds of rare and precious herbs, and is permeated with Innate Spiritual Qi, which is extremely rich.
The rich floral fragrance filled Liu Yi's nostrils, and he felt his spirits lift, his very soul filled with joy.
"Holy crap, what kind of flower scent is this?"
Even my soul received a tiny bit of nourishment!
As expected of the garden of the Ruler's residence, it is truly filled with treasures, and to treat the Great Chiliocosm as a garden, the scale is truly grand."
He surveyed his surroundings; the garden was filled with wondrous flowers and herbs that nourished the body and soothed the soul.
A moment later, his gaze fell upon the pavilion in the center of the garden.
Inside the pavilion, Ye Xuanxiao sat quietly on a chair, dressed in black, without revealing the slightest hint of imposing aura.
Su Yaoguang, standing to the side, was dressed in a white palace gown, revealing her cultivation level to be at the Martial Lord Realm.
The two of them smiled and looked over quietly.
Liu Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and a wave of emotion surged within him.
He couldn't see through Ye Xuanxiao's cultivation level at all; the other party looked like an A Mortal.
However, it's obvious he couldn't be A Mortal.
Only Ruler could conceal their aura to such an extent.
Although he had suspected it before and was roughly certain that Ye Xuanxiao was the Ruler, he was completely certain after seeing it with his own eyes.
"Holy crap, Ye Xuanxiao really is the Ruler!"
Why did you, a dignified Ruler, go to the Azure Billows Realm in the first place and even play along with my act?
Are all Ruler so free?
How come Su Yaoguang's cultivation level is only at the Martial Lord Realm, and she's still practicing my Dao Seed Martial Dao System?
This is really strange.
Judging from their intimate relationship, they are definitely not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but rather should be dao companion.
But why is there such a huge difference in their cultivation levels?
He pondered to himself, but his face remained impassive.
As the Martial Emperor, and more importantly, the Dao Ancestor of the Dao Seed Martial Dao System, the Creator God of many worlds, and the Master of the Fairness System, he absolutely cannot show any surprise or ignorance.
He composed himself, a smile appearing on his face, and slowly walked along the garden path toward the pavilion.
Upon reaching the pavilion, he bowed respectfully to Ye Xuanxiao and said, "Liu Yi greets the Ruler!"
He then cupped his hands in greeting to Su Yaoguang, saying, "Liu Yi greets Fellow Daoist Su."
Su Yaoguang stood up and returned the greeting with a cupped hand. "Su Yaoguang greets Fellow Liu Yi."
Ye Xuanxiao smiled gently and said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities. We can simply address each other as fellow Daoists. Please have a seat."
As he spoke, he gestured to the only remaining chair in front of the table.
Thank you, senior.
Liu Yi dared not rashly treat the other party as an equal.
Even though he was confident that he could break through to the Ruler in the future, his current cultivation level was only Martial Emperor, and there was still an immeasurable gap between him and the Ruler.
A person's virtue lies in self-awareness, and proper etiquette should never be neglected.
His gaze swept over the jade table, which was laden with rare Innate Spirit Cuisine such as Innate spiritual fruits, fine wines, and Innate spiritual rice.
Seeing so many Innate Spirit Cuisine for the first time, I was inevitably shaken, but my expression remained unchanged, and I tried my best to stay calm.
Now that we are facing a Ruler, we must not let our minds wander, otherwise our thoughts will be easily seen through by him.
Seeing Liu Yi sitting cautiously in his seat, Ye Xuanxiao couldn't help but chuckle.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so reserved. Just relax and be at ease."
As the Dao Ancestor of the Dao Seed Martial Dao System, the Creator God of the Xuanyi World, and the Master of the Fairness System, you have a very high chance of Ruler in the future. You and I can be considered equals.
Besides, you've always been a free and unrestrained person, why be so reserved?"
"Hehe, you're quite famous on the system's social media platforms, so there's no need to be so reserved here."
Su Yaoguang covered her mouth and chuckled softly, as if she had witnessed something very amusing.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Liu Yi's face.
All the system hosts know about his dark past.
What do you mean by carefree and unrestrained? To put it bluntly, it just means frequenting brothels!
But he only went for a massage and didn't do anything else; his reputation really did ruin him.
In a flash, he became secretly alarmed.
Ye Xuanxiao was indeed aware of his identity as the master of the Fairness System and the creator god of the Xuanyi World. Fortunately, the other party was unaware that he had 129,600 inner worlds within him.
This shows that the other party was not monitoring him at all times; otherwise, such a major secret could never have been kept hidden.
Of course, perhaps the other party deliberately chose not to mention it.
Although he was unclear about the unfathomable power possessed by the Ruler, he was certain that it far surpassed that of the Martial Emperor.
With his current Martial Emperor cultivation level,
If you deliberately focus on someone, you can easily uncover all their secrets, not to mention Ruler whose realms surpass yours.
Upon reaching this conclusion, Liu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Ye Xuanxiao is not the type to pry into other people's secrets, nor is he constantly watching me.
Upon closer examination, it makes sense. The other party is Ruler, someone of such status; why would they waste their energy on him?
Even if he himself were curious about someone, he wouldn't be constantly paying attention to that person.
Furthermore, the other party stated frankly that he had a very high probability of becoming Ruler, which must have been because they saw an opportunity to break through to the Ruler level in him, hence their evaluation.
Furthermore, Su Yaoguang cultivates the Dao Seed Martial Dao System, and his previous guess that the Dao Seed Martial Dao System could help cultivators break through to the Ruler might actually be true.
His spirits lifted slightly.
If true, to become Ruler, one mostly needs to achieve a perfect unity of "essence, energy, spirit, and the Way".
Therefore, it seems that Ye Xuanxiao's words were not merely polite, but rather a genuine belief that he was worthy of being treated as an equal.
Being overly reserved makes one appear Lower Vehicle.
Since that's the case, he no longer tried to maintain his composure and smiled slightly:
"Fellow Daoists, you jest! Those rumors circulating outside are nothing but hearsay and misinformation; they should not be taken seriously! They should not be taken seriously!"
"Hahaha!"
Ye Xuanxiao and Su Yaoguang both burst into laughter upon hearing this.
This was the first time the two had ever seen Liu Yi in such an embarrassed state, and they found it quite amusing.
The laughter gradually subsided, and Ye Xuanxiao slowly spoke, "I know you have many questions in your mind, and I will explain them to you in detail later."
"For now, why not sample the delicacies on the table? These Innate Spirit Cuisine are probably something you haven't tasted before, fellow Daoist."
As he spoke, he picked up the jade chopsticks and began to taste it.
Although Liu Yi had many questions in his mind, he suppressed his curiosity.
Since the other party said so, there was no need for him to rush. He had nothing urgent to do anyway, so he might as well enjoy the rare Innate Spirit Cuisine on the table first.
Time passed slowly, and after several rounds of drinks and dishes, the meal was enjoyed.
Ye Xuanxiao looked up at Liu Yi, a smile on his face, and slowly said:
"Fellow Daoist must be very curious as to whether my wife and I went to the Azure Billows Realm specifically for you?"
