Xu Yan nodded in agreement.

Ah, the Jade Court was finally near. Would he be able to meet the Three Masters of the Jade Court? And how would the Jade Court regard him, a being born of the Domain?

“Ming Yu, why are you all alone, so far away from the Jade Court?”

Xu Yan was very curious. Ming Yu wasn’t particularly powerful, yet she was far from the Jade Court, close to the region of the Great Wilderness, or perhaps closer to the location of the Imperishable Temple. Why was this?

Given Ming Yu’s status and position in the Jade Court, she shouldn’t need to perform such errands.

“I went to see the Domain.”

Ming Yu didn’t hide anything, saying, “The Three Masters asked me to look at the Domain but not to enter it, just to observe from afar. They said that if I didn’t see it this time, I might not see it again. So, I went to look at the Domain.

“Who knew what madness those guys from the Divine Temple were up to, trying to capture me, how infuriating.”

Look at the Domain!

Which Domain to look at? Naturally the Great Wilderness!

Moreover, for what purpose did the Three Masters of the Jade Court instruct Ming Yu to observe the Domain?

If, as they mentioned, not seeing it this time meant possibly never seeing it again, was it because the Unchanging Divine Master planned to devour the Domain, or was the Jade Court itself also planning something against the Domain?

Xu Yan considered, if the Jade Court intended to act against the Great Wilderness, why instruct Ming Yu to observe the Domain now?

They could see it before taking action.

Therefore, the Three Masters of the Jade Court knew about the impending threat from the Imperishable Temple, and even understood the purpose of the Unchanging Divine Master.

Among the three Masters of the Jade Court, Ming Yu was most familiar with the Third Master. She rarely mentioned the Second and First Masters, but the Third Master was frequently mentioned. And every time, it was the Third Master who instructed her.

“Ming Yu, did you see the Domain? Why didn’t you enter it?”

Xu Yan asked curiously.

“I did see it.”

Ming Yu tilted her head, “Entering the Domain might not be good, the Third Master told me just to observe from afar, so I didn’t go in. The Domain is very beautiful, like a bright pearl.”

At this point, Ming Yu blinked at him, “Xu Yan, how did you create your small Domain? It’s just like a real Domain. Do you come from that Domain?”

Xu Yan nodded, “Yes, I come from that Domain, the Great Wilderness Domain. The reason my small Domain feels real is because of that great mountain.”

“Great Wilderness? Wasn’t the Domain called Taicang?”

Ming Yu was puzzled.

“Taicang was the old name. It’s become history. The current Domain is called the Great Wilderness. You can enter the Great Wilderness. The Domain’s scenery is far beyond comparison to this Land of Chaotic Imperishable.

“The landscapes within the Domain, along with its people, customs, and the warmth and chill of human life, are all worth seeing.”

Xu Yan said with a smile.

“Then… if there’s a chance, would you take me there? Could I visit you as a guest?”

Ming Yu’s eyes lit up, expressing her eagerness.

“Sure!”

Xu Yan nodded.

“Xu Yan, you’re so nice!”

Ming Yu exclaimed happily, “When you’re at the Jade Court, I’ll definitely treat you well, so don’t stand on ceremony with me.”

“Thank you very much!”

Xu Yan beamed.

“Look, there it is, the Jade Court!”

Ming Yu raised her hand, pointing with a clear and beautiful smile.

Xu Yan looked up. Amidst the chaos, a faint jade white glow appeared ahead, resembling a jade disk nestled in the land of chaos.

The Jade Court, true to its name, was pure and flawless, as if constructed from magnificent jade. Being there felt like entering a world within jade.

The houses, gardens, pavilions, and towers seemed as if carved from exquisite jade.

The Jade Court was vast, like a small Domain. At the entrance, there stood two gigantic Jade People.

The massive and towering Jade People, standing like jade sculptures, held large spears. Their eyes lacked black pupils, looking more like carved eyes glinting with a silvery light. Ṝ₳NÖ𐌱ЁŞ

As the Flying Boat approached, the Jade People held their spears in a defensive stance.

“Xu Yan, follow me. I will speak with them. They won’t give you any trouble.”

Ming Yu disembarked from the Flying Boat.

Xu Yan put away the Flying Boat, following closely behind Ming Yu, his curious gaze on the spear-bearing, defensive Jade People, slightly startled inside.

A Master of Domain level expert!

Ming Yu smiled brightly as she led Xu Yan to the entrance of the Jade Court, waving her hand, “Yu Da, Yu Er, this is my friend. He’s not an outsider!”

The two Jade People looked at Xu Yan, then Ming Yu, pondered for a moment, and retracted their spears.

“Xu Yan, let’s go.”

Ming Yu, with a happy stride, stepped through the Jade Court’s gate.

Xu Yan took a deep breath and followed her, realizing how extraordinary Ming Yu’s status was in the Jade Court.

The Jade People, of Master of Domain level strength, took orders from her.

As Xu Yan passed the two Jade People, he observed them closely, feeling a slight shock inside. What his eyes saw was a hazy white light.

But he perceived more than when looking at Ming Yu.

Moreover, although the two Jade People were strong, their agility of thought couldn’t match that of Ming Yu, lacking a certain “human” quality.

Stepping into the Jade Court, everything seen was made of beautiful jade. Even the few plants had a jade-like texture.

“The Jade Court itself is a Supreme Treasure!”

Xu Yan thought, deeply shocked. Even the Hong Ze Domain could not compare to the Jade Court.

“The Jade Court is vast. You’re new here and not yet familiar, so some places are off-limits for now. Let’s head to my courtyard first. Once you’re familiar, you can explore more.”

Ming Yu said with a smile.

“Thank you, Miss Ming Yu!”

Xu Yan followed Ming Yu further into the Jade Court. Occasionally encountering other Jade People along the way, just as Ming Yu had described, even the weakest in the Jade Court possessed Realm Master level strength. And seeing more Jade People revealed some differences among them.

Though it was unclear whether they were the same in battle, in a non-combat state, these Jade People definitely had some differences.

Besides some behaviors, particularly in terms of thinking, each Jade Person had their own variations, and even their ways of thinking seemed distinct.

Though possessing spiritual wisdom, they appeared sluggish, some seeming foolish.

For instance, Xu Yan saw a Jade Person watering an unknown tree. Halfway through, he sprawled on the ground, licking the water at the tree’s roots while continuing to water and lick. It looked abnormal.

Or another Jade Person practicing fist techniques, the technique seeming ordinary and not matching his skill level. Yet he kept practicing, shouting with each punch until he got stuck on a particular move, standing motionless.

“I thought Ming Yu was a bit dim-witted, but compared to these Jade People, Ming Yu is simply a genius!”

Xu Yan marveled to himself.

The Jade Court was filled with oddities, yet such odd individuals made the Imperishable Temple extremely wary, not daring to underestimate them.

“One shouldn’t judge by appearances. These Jade People may seem slow and clumsy, but in battle, they are neither slow nor clumsy.”

Xu Yan became deeply interested in the three owners of the Jade Court.

Surely, the three owners of the Jade Court couldn’t be as slow and clumsy as these Jade People, could they?

“Here we are. This is where I live.”

Finally, under Ming Yu’s guidance, they arrived at a quaint little courtyard.

Everything in the courtyard was pure jade white, even the small pavilion. In the center was a small pond with a few fish swimming around.

Just like the rest, the fish were pure white, seemingly carved from beautiful jade.

Looking at everything in the courtyard, Xu Yan increasingly felt that his speculation might be true.

“Sister Ming, you’re back!”

A little maid came trotting out of the pavilion, looking about fifteen or sixteen, charming and cute, with bright eyes curiously studying Xu Yan.

“Xiao Jie, this is a friend I made outside, Xu Yan!”

Ming Yu introduced Xu Yan, “This is my… my caretaker, Xiao Jie.”

Xu Yan smiled warmly, nodding, “Hello, Miss Xiao Jie!”

Unexpectedly, Ming Yu had a maid serving her.

Xiao Jie, this maid seemed fifteen or sixteen, yet her strength was also at the Realm Master level, although slightly weaker than Ming Yu.

“Hello, Xu Yan… brother?!”

Xiao Jie tilted her head, blinking while looking at Xu Yan.

It seemed she was thinking about how to address Xu Yan appropriately, reasoning that since she called Ming Yu “sister” and Xu Yan was Ming Yu’s friend, naturally, he should be called “brother”?
