Heaven's Devourer

Chapter 1714: Cave of Golden Light, Reality Origin Sky

At the 7200th level of Heaven, Mettle Sky.

Wu Yu had first sought out the Patriarch Bodhi in Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars. Since Taiyi Zhenren was another ancient and mysterious immortal emperor much like the Patriarch Bodhi himself, then they should be acquainted with each other.

Therefore, Wu Yu went first to the Patriarch Bodhi to ask him about Taiyi Zhenren and if he could provide any help on bringing the sleeping Ming Long back to life.

After all, Full Moon of Nanshan had heard the news from an ordinary immortal woman, and she did not have connections to Taiyi Zhenren. It was all just hearsay.

The Patriarch Bodhi was different, however. Someone of his status would definitely know many other powerful beings. He would definitely have met Taiyi Zhenren before, and they must have corresponded in depth before.

An ordinary immortal, even an immortal emperor, would find it exceedingly difficult to secure an audience with the Patriarch Bodhi. Even if he was free, he would not meet anyone for no good reason.

Even the Patriarch Bodhi’s disciples only saw him at lectures.

During other times, there were not many opportunities to seek a meeting with the Patriarch Bodhi.

However, Wu Yu was one of the Patriarch Bodhi’s favored disciples, and he had just reached the immortal emperor realm and made a name for himself all across the sky palaces. If Wu Yu asked for an audience, he would definitely be willing to meet.

In Bodhi’s Palace, the Patriarch Bodhi heard his tale of Taiyi Zhenren and Ming Long, and brooded for a while. "Taiyi Zhenren created a Red Lotus Divine Body and brought Nezha back to life. That tale is true. The son of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li was indeed saved by Taiyi Zhenren before. However, you must know that the immortal essence used was the Deathless Lotus, one of the most powerful immortal essences in this world!"

"Nezha was Taiyi Zhenren’s own disciple, which is why he was willing to use such a rare Deathless Lotus to save him. I’m afraid that he would not go to such lengths for you."

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head, killing Wu Yu’s hopes.

He could have guessed that the Deathless Lotus must be something very special. Even for the Patriarch Bodhi, Taiyi Zhenren would not take it out to save a stranger.

Taiyi Zhenren and Patriarch Bodhi were both very highly placed in the sky palaces, and they were very respectful towards each other.

But when it came to actual help, it could not be a one-sided affair.

Even if he was willing to help, one Deathless Lotus to save Ming Long would require an equivalent price.

Wu Yu felt disappointed by Patriarch Bodhi’s words.

However, Ming Long was still in slumber, and Wu Yu did not know how much time she had left. She might never wake up again.

Wu Yu could not allow that to happen.

No matter what, he had to give it a try, to see if Taiyi Zhenren was willing to do it, or if there was anything that Wu Yu could offer......

"Tell you what. Wu Yu. Master will take you to Cave of Golden Light at Reality Origin Sky to ask. Of course, you shouldn’t get your hopes up."

Patriarch Bodhi finally made this decision.

"Many thanks, Patriarch."

Wu Yu was gratified. He had not expected Patriarch Bodhi to personally make an appearance on his behalf. In this case, perhaps Taiyi Zhenren would give Wu Yu a chance to negotiate on the Patriarch Bodhi’s behalf.

Otherwise, if Wu Yu went alone, he might not even get a meeting.

LIkewise, if Taiyi Zhenren had a new immortal emperor disciple who came to visit the Patriarch Bodhi, he probably would also not be granted an audience, unless he represented Taiyi Zhenren himself.

And regarding something as important as a Deathless Lotus, a mere disciple would have no say.

Patriarch Bodhi’s willingness to bring Wu Yu to Reality Origin Sky with him was a huge favor. He again felt blessed. It was good to rest in the shade of a large tree!

With the Patriarch Bodhi backing him, many doors opened for Wu Yu.

Compared to the immortal emperor descendants whose parents waited hand and foot on, the Patriarch Bodhi had given Wu Yu much less help. Besides the Heavenly Devil Battlefield, he had never given Wu Yu any personal direction in cultivation.

All that Wu Yu had achieved was based on his own efforts.

The Patriarch Bodhi was an elder to him. In crucial times, he would shield him from the wind and rain; after all Wu Yu had offended many immortal emperors in the past. If the Patriarch Bodhi did not protect him, Wu Yu would still be cowering in Demon Immortal Realm right now.

Even if he had spent all his time unraveling epochal immortal designs in Eternal Emperor Tomb and devouring eternal demon emperor corpses, he would probably not be at the eternal immortal emperor realm yet.

Wu Yu remembered the Patriarch Bodhi’s kindness to him. He would remember it for life.

This time, he was willing to go with Wu Yu to meet Taiyi Zhenren to discuss the matter of saving Ming Long. To Wu Yu, this was a great kindness that he might never be able to repay back......

300 levels up from Mettle Sky - Reality Origin Sky!

This was the 7500th level of Heaven, one of the higher ones already. Only Taiyi Zhenren was here, and sometimes other guests. It was fairly empty.

Compared to the relatively crowded Mettle Sky, you could walk the whole day in Reality Origin Sky without seeing a single soul.

Even in the Well of Eternal Life, Patriarch Bodhi had to request permission before he could take Wu Yu to the 7500th sky palace. Otherwise, ordinary immortals would not even be granted access.

Within Reality Origin Sky, there were lotus leaves and flowers everywhere. Each had a wonderful fragrance to them that tugged at one’s spirit and compelled one to linger.

Wu Yu followed Patriarch Bodhi to Reality Origin Sky, and marveled at the fields of lotus flowers. It was a world with little else.

It was his first time seeing such a pure sky palace. Taiyi Zhenren lived in a beautiful yet bizarre place.

Yet this breathtaking scenery hid many illusion immortal designs, which Taiyi Zhenren had personally designed. While they would not harm the target, they could trap them there for more than 10,000 years.

If not for Patriarch Bodhi leading the way, Wu Yu would have quickly gotten lost in the lotus roots for tens of thousands of years.

He followed Patriarch Bodhi, and the Cave of Golden Light was soon before them.

This immortal residence looked straight out of a fairytale, on a backdrop of greenery. The lotus flowers surrounded it beautifully.

"Heh, a rare visitor at this old coot’s humble Cave of Golden Light. Patriarch Bodhi, how many thousands of years has it been?"

A young man’s voice came towards them.

A young man in green robes appeared soon after. He wore a small smile on his face, and a deeper arrogance seemed to lurk behind his genial smile.

In his hand was a foldable fan, beautifully painted with lotus flowers. As he fanned it, the fields of lotus flowers in Reality Origin Sky seemed to sway along. It was magical to behold.

Looking at this young man, Wu Yu was irresistibly reminded of Full Moon of Nanshan. The two had the same easygoing spirit in their eyes, although this person looked a lot more mysterious compared to Full Moon of Nanshan. He was like a many-layered lotus flower, and no one knew what was in the innermost buds.

"This old coot is bothering Zhenren on behalf of the old coot’s disciple. He has a favor to beg of Zhenren, and I wonder if you would be free to consider it?"

Patriarch Bodhi said with a frank smile, wasting no time in getting to the heart of the issue.

The green-robed young man was immediately interested, and nodded excitedly: "So this is little Wu Yu!"

A hint of humor crossed his face and he stowed his fan. He addressed him: "Little brother Wu Yu has been very popular in the sky palaces recently. Even my humble disciple Nezha’s son Li Tianji was beaten. A prodigy indeed!"

"Ancestor Zhenren, you praise me too much. I, Wu Yu, have not been in the sky palaces for long. There are many rules that I am still unaware of, but I hope Zhenren can forgive me...... However, I need help that only Zhenren can provide to this junior." Wu Yu said very respectfully.

He had guessed that Taiyi Zhenren would recognize him. What he did not know was if he would be unhappy about Wu Yu defeating Li Tianji.

It was hard to tell from Taiyi Zhenren’s expression right now, as he maintained the same mild smile from beginning to end.

"Come in first, before we talk. Time is like flowing water, and flowing water never rests. There is always time. Isn’t that right, old coot?"

Taiyi Zhenren waved them in, still smiling.

Sudddenly, Wu Yu felt that their surroundings had changed. The Cave of Golden Light suddenly enlarged and enclosed him within!

By the time he had realized, the Patriarch Bodhi and him were in a quiet and peaceful immortal residence garden. There was a little bridge and flowing water beneath. Light rain fell and lilting flute notes came drifting from afar. They seemed to have been transported to paradise!
