After leaving the Immortal Palace, Su Chen headed straight for the source code. Deity Donghua did not ask Su Chen where his destination was. She just followed quietly behind him, frowning from time to time as if she was thinking about something.
Su Chen tried to talk to her several times, but she did not respond.
"This Deity Donghua … seems a little dull. Is it because she has been asleep for too long and hasn't woken up yet?"
Su Chen shook his head and stopped caring about her. Anyway, no matter how far he went, Donghua Deity Lord would always be able to keep up with him. Moreover, her celestial shadow was traceless. Su Chen did not notice any signs of her moving at all. However, every time he turned his head, he could see Donghua Deity Lord following behind him in the same posture. Even the distance between them was exactly the same.
After hearing about Deity Donghua's Immaculate Celestial Body, Taibai Mingyue was also very curious. She wanted to talk to Deity Donghua several times, but she was like a statue and did not respond to anything in the outside world. Taibai Mingyue, who was asking for trouble, quickly gave up.
"Are all immortals so unique?" Su Chen asked curiously.
Taibai Mingyue smiled bitterly and said, "They are all old antiques who have lived for countless years. It is normal for them to have different personalities."
"So, you should be young?"
"When the Immortal Realm was sealed, I was just 15 years old when my grandfather sent me down to the mortal world. When I died of illness, I was only 16 years old."
"So young?" Su Chen looked at Taibai Mingyue with some surprise and doubt.
Taibai Mingyue could not withstand Su Chen's gaze. She immediately blushed and said quickly, "If you don't believe me, you can check my memory. I guarantee that I am not lying."
"Not really …"
Su Chen shook his head. He reached out and pulled Taibai Mingyue onto the horse's back. Then, he asked the centaur girl to speed up.
The Heavenly Court was vast and boundless. If they wanted to find the source code as soon as possible, they had to speed up.
They galloped all the way. During this time, Su Chen noticed that Deity Donghua disappeared a few times and did not catch up with them. However, she came back in the end. Su Chen did not pay much attention to it.
"Diandian, how far are we?"
"Soon. According to our current speed, we should be able to reach the coordinates in two hours at most."
Su Chen patted the Centaur Lady's head and said, "Work harder and increase the speed."
"Yes, Master. Sit tight."
The Centaur Lady's aura suddenly soared several times and her speed instantly reached a new level. She was so fast that the surrounding space was distorted.
In less than an hour, Su Chen arrived near the source code coordinates.
Dismounting from his horse, Su Chen walked to the top of a celestial mountain. Looking down, he saw a huge celestial pond in front of him. The celestial pond didn't look big, but it was magnificent. Even a small wave seemed to contain the power to destroy heaven and earth.
"What is this place?" Su Chen asked.
Taibai Mingyue was just about to speak when the Donghua Deity Lord suddenly walked over and said, "This place is called Yaochi. It is the place of Yao Guang Saint."
"Is Yao Guang Saint very powerful?"
Taibai Mingyue quickly changed the topic and said, "Of course. After all, Yao Guang Saint is the mother of the Flame Emperor."
Hmm?
Su Chen was slightly taken aback.
"Isn't the Flame Emperor one of the Twelve Ancestral Sorcerers? Why does he have a mother?"
As far as he knew, the Twelve Ancestral Sorcerers were extraordinary beings born from the chaos.
Taibai Mingyue was asked a question and didn't know how to answer.
It was the Donghua Deity Lord who explained, "It's a long story. Before the Flame Emperor established the Heavenly Court, he was reincarnated once due to some accident. He borrowed the life of Yao Guang Saint to be reborn. Later, when the Flame Emperor established the Heavenly Court and took control of the Underworld, he deliberately opened the door to the Nine Hells Purgatory and took back the soul of Yao Guang Saint. He helped her to be reborn and brought her to the Heavenly Court. She was given the title of Yao Guang Saint."
"I see. Speaking of which, I know someone called Yao Guang Saint. Is there some connection?"
"Yao Guang Saint and Yao Guang Saint were sisters. She is also the Flame Emperor's aunt. She also followed Yao Guang Saint to the Heavenly Court for a period of time, but later disappeared for some reason."
Ah?
He had guessed it right.
Wait a minute, the Kind Light Mother was his mother-in-law and the Flame Emperor's aunt. Wouldn't he be related to the Flame Emperor after all these twists and turns?
The world was really small.
Yao Guang Saint was Taotao's aunt, so it shouldn't be too much for him to call her aunt.
Since he was already here, he naturally had to pay her a visit. Besides, the source code might be here.
He just didn't know if Yao Guang Saint had awakened.
Su Chen didn't hesitate and stepped into the Jasper Pool.
The moment Su Chen stepped into the Jasper Pool, the Jasper Pool, which didn't seem very big, expanded countless times in size and turned into a vast ocean.
In the sky above the sea, a dazzling radiance shone, and a peerless immortal palace made of colored glaze and crystal appeared.
What a luxurious palace!
"Master, we can't go in … there's a barrier blocking us."
The centaur lady suddenly shouted at Su Chen.
Su Chen looked back and found that even the Dong Hua Immortal Lord was blocked by the barrier and was completely isolated from the outside world.
"Wait here, I'll go in and take a look."
Su Chen now knew that Yao Guang Saint must have awakened and might have recognized that he had the Flame Emperor Sword. That was why she let him enter the Jasper Pool Palace alone.
Su Chen took a deep breath and flew straight to the Jade Pool Palace. Soon, he arrived at the gate of the Jade Pool Palace.
Suddenly, the gate opened wide.
A fairy in a feathered robe came in with a lamp.
"Yao Guang Saint wants to see you. Please follow me."
"Alright, please lead the way."
Su Chen followed the fairy and entered the Jasper Pool Palace.
"What's your name, Sister Fairy?"
"Sister, your lamp is pretty. Is it an immortal item?"
"Sister, did you also just awaken from the seal?"
Su Chen tried to strike up a conversation with the fairy, trying to get some information out of her. However, the fairy was stubborn. No matter how Su Chen asked, she remained silent. When she was annoyed, she would even turn around and glare at Su Chen.
Su Chen felt that it was too difficult for him.
His heaven-defying charm and luck didn't seem to be of any use here.
