Chapter 556: Immortal Pearl Dew
And just like that, the three of them decided to visit the Southern Region where the Eonic Ragarwood Tree stood.
The three Celestials soared through the skies and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Since it was just the three of them, they didn"t need to slow down their speed.
Soon, they arrived in the forested area of the Southern Region.
They could already see the towering tree that pierced the clouds.
When they arrived near the Eonic Ragarwood Tree, they descended from the skies.
Jiu Shen swept his spiritual vision around them and discovered Elena who was hiding in one of the Eonic Ragarwood Tree"s branches. Her figure was covered by a translucent fog, making it hard for anyone to get a glimpse of her appearance.
Suddenly, enchanting laughter can be heard above them.
They turned their gazes and saw a silhouette that was covered by fog. They couldn"t clearly see her face, but the outline of her body was perfect.
"Oh my! Oh my! To think that three Celestial Emperors would visit me on the same day! How wonderful! It would be rude if I remain hidden in the presence of three great people..." Her melodic voice drifted into their ears.
The fog that covered her figure slowly receded.
Elena. A lithe and graceful woman with tantalizing beauty and overwhelming charisma.
Her snow-white hair was tied in cascading curls, making her look more elegant. Her mischievous eyes revealed a sultry look when her gaze moved towards Jiu Shen. "We meet again, Jiu Shen."
Even with his st.u.r.dy heart, Jiu Shen almost had his soul captivated by this fairy. He chanted a calming sutra in his mind and stared at Elena"s face with an unchanging expression.
Jian w.a.n.g and Asmodeus struggled for a brief moment, but they still managed to regain their bearings.
Seeing this, Elena smiled at them as if she was amused. She then focused her gaze on Jiu Shen. Earlier, she felt a fearsome power in the Central Region and she knew right away that it was related to the fight between Lao Gou and Jiu Shen. "It looks like you have managed to defeat him, Jiu Shen. I"m grateful."
Jiu Shen nodded his head upon hearing her words. He knew why she was grateful to him. After all, Lao Gou forced her to give him a seed of Eonic Ragarwood Tree and large amounts of Undying G.o.d Spring. The old b.a.s.t.a.r.d man must have come here often to demand more Undying G.o.d Spring for the seed he got from her back then.
"Now, tell me. What brings the three of you here? I don"t think you"re just here to receive my grat.i.tude, Jiu Shen." Elena was showing a clear interest in this man that she even ignored Jian w.a.n.g and Asmodeus.
Jiu Shen glanced at the two people behind him and nodded his head. "You"re right. We came here to know why you"ve chosen to stay hidden after so many years."
After observing her closely, Jiu Shen was finally able to perceive her power.
True essence. Late stage Celestial G.o.d Realm.
Anma. Early stage Celestial G.o.d Realm.
Spiritual power. Peak stage Celestial G.o.d Realm!
Her power shocked him. He finally knew the reason why this woman had such an overwhelming level of seduction. It was because of her spiritual power! It was even greater than his own!
Elena"s playful look suddenly became serious as she answered. "So you came here to know that, huh? You guys know about the Three Towers of Divine Dao, right?" This time, her gaze moved towards Asmodeus.
The three of them nodded their heads.
"A long time ago, I also tried to ascend that legendary floating city. And the result was..."
"Elena, you promised to never speak about the matters related to that place!" Asmodeus suddenly cut off her words, making Jiu Shen and Jian w.a.n.g surprised. They gazed at him with suspicion, but the man remained silent and just shook his head.
"Oops." Elena quickly covered her mouth with her hands, acting like a child who said something wrong.
"Asmodeus, what is happening?" Jian w.a.n.g glanced coldly at Asmodeus. He even grabbed the man by his shoulder.
Asmodeus shrugged him off and stared at him apologetically. "I"m sorry, Jian w.a.n.g, but I cannot say anything about it. I hope you understand."
Jian w.a.n.g sighed upon seeing him act like this. "Fine! But I hope that you will tell us one day."
Asmodeus revealed a look of hesitation and sighed. "Give me some time to think about it. I"ll leave you guys for now."
"Make sure to come after the reconstruction of the Heavenly Sword Region is completed." Jiu Shen said.
"Alright. I will be there." Asmodeus left after that.
"Just what is that guy hiding from us?" Jian w.a.n.g muttered to himself with an exasperated voice.
"Hehe. Enough about that. I"ll bring you guys to my humble abode." Elena giggled as she invited them to her home.
The two men nodded their heads and followed her.
As they walked inside the forest, they saw a small pond that glistened with a golden hue. The pond was releasing a sacred and untainted aura that prevented creatures from getting near it. This was the Undying G.o.d Spring.
"To think that the Undying G.o.d Spring is actually hidden inside this forest..." Jian w.a.n.g muttered as he stared at the golden spring.
Soon, the trio arrived in front of a huge tree house.
Elena pushed the door open and led them inside. She brought them to her tea room which was located on the second floor of the tree house.
"Take your seats."
Jiu Shen and Jian w.a.n.g grabbed a wooden chair for themselves and sat down.
Elena walked in front of a shelf and took one transparent bottle and two empty gla.s.ses. "This is a personal creation of mine that I called "Immortal Pearl Dew". You guys would be shocked if you knew what this thing is made of." She chuckled softly as she poured the contents of the bottle into their gla.s.ses.
