Chapter 462 - Mysterious Old Man
Looking at his brand new body, Su Zimo lamented to himself as he experienced the power surging within him, “The Human Emperor’s Palace is truly an ancient mythical object. To think that a single elixir from it would possess such wondrous effects!”
At that moment, Su Zimo’s appearance had already returned to normal after being washed by the energy of the elixir. With his elegant features, he wore a set of green robes once more.
There was no one else around other than that mysterious old man who had disappeared.
Since his disguise methods were most probably child’s play that would be seen through instantly in the eyes of the old man, Su Zimo had no intention of continuing with it.
He looked around and saw that the place was extremely spacious and boundless. Rather than a palace, it seemed like they were in another world.
The air was refreshing and the spirit qi was richer – the environment was even better than the ancient battlefield!
Concerned about Demoness Ji’s safety, he sped forward with his spirit wings.
Life was vibrant in that spacious land and it was filled with greenery.
Su Zimo’s heart clenched up as he asked hurriedly, “Where is she? We entered the Human Emperor’s Palace together! How can she not be here?”
“What are you getting anxious about?”
The mysterious old man rolled his eyes and harrumphed gently “I was merely saying that the lass is not in the same stone chamber as you.”
“Stone chamber?”
Su Zimo was confused.
Pointing at his feet, the mysterious old man remarked casually, “The world we are in right now is merely a single stone chamber in the Human Emperor’s Palace.”
Gradually, Su Zimo’s mouth fell open; he was dumbfounded and shock filled his eyes.
This world with skies and stars, possessing boundless land with mountains, lush greenery and countless incredible beasts… was actually just a stone chamber within the Human Emperor’s Palace!
What sort of powers were these?
The mysterious old man’s next sentence gave Su Zimo an even bigger shock such that he could not snap out of it for a long time.
“There’s billions of such stone chambers in the Human Emperor’s Palace,” The mysterious old man said casually with a calm expression.
Su Zimo: “… ”
A long time later, still worried about Demoness Ji, he asked, “How is that girl in pink?”
“Don’t worry, she won’t die. She’ll follow her own destiny,” The mysterious old man replied.
Su Zimo only heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
“Heh!”
Suddenly, the mysterious old man sneered, “Young man, you’re truly brazen to challenge the rules set by my master! If it wasn’t because my mistress was kind enough to speak up for you seeing how pitiful that girl is, she would have died long ago!”
Master, mistress…
Su Zimo blinked and asked in a testing manner, “Senior, the master you’re referring to is…”
“Can you get any dumber?”
Frowning, the mysterious old man glared at Su Zimo and said in a deep tone, “Since this is the Human Emperor’s Palace, my master is definitely the Human Emperor!”
Su Zimo was shocked.
Needless to say, the mistress should be the Human Emperor’s Dao companion!
The mysterious old man glanced at Su Zimo from the side of his eyes and sized up the latter while muttering, “This young man seems dumb. Could master have made a wrong judgment?”
Actually, Su Zimo was not entirely to blame.
Everything that he had seen and experienced after entering the Human Emperor’s Palace was way beyond his imagination.
There were things that he could not dare to believe even if he had guessed it.
Furthermore, even now, he wasn’t clear of the identity of the old man before him.
