The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Chapter 1423: Chapter 1423: Run an Errand

Nie Suyuan, provoked by this sudden stimulus, immediately turned icy cold, and the power within her burst forth abruptly.

But at that moment, a formidable Spiritual Sense swept over her as though it were tangible.

Nie Suyuan’s face changed dramatically, and she hastily restrained her exposed killing intent, which finally caused the Spiritual Sense to disperse.

Yang Yan, though uncertain who was behind it, clearly understood that his suspicion was indeed accurate; a protector akin to Fu Xi had never left this place, silently guarding this land.

Yang Yan smiled gently, unwilling to further provoke the now silent Nie Suyuan, and walked straight toward the direction of the mystical barriers that, in memory, separated Earth’s Hidden World from the present world.

Nie Suyuan snorted coldly, her figure flashing as she passed everyone, closely following behind Yang Yan.

...

Meanwhile, in a place within the Hidden World imperceptible to outsiders, Immortal Qi rose, and exquisite palaces were scattered throughout.

Beneath a giant willow tree, a young man and an elder sat on the ground.

One of them was precisely the anciently dressed youth Yang Yan and others had met before—Fu Xi.

In front of them was a chessboard, depicting an endless starry sky.

And those chess pieces were the stars within the cosmos, flickering intermittently.

Fu Xi, appearing nonchalant, made a move and suddenly laughed, "Perhaps in future catastrophes, someone will help us share the burden."

Opposite him sat an elder in hemp garments, hair and beard completely white, with a whip made of a hundred herbs resting on his legs.

He shook his head and sighed, "This cycle of heaven and earth’s calamity arises with destiny, how could it be so easily overcome?"

Fu Xi laughed, "Shennong, I’m merely leaving behind some contingencies for the great calamity. Perhaps by then, he could truly become our assistance."

Sitting opposite, Shennong smiled without a word, picking up a piece of star and casually placing it down.

Seeing this, Fu Xi’s gaze suddenly deepened, admitting with embarrassment, "I indeed have lost this game!"

...

Yang Yan almost pushed his speed to the extreme, transforming into a stream of light flying toward the mystical barrier between the Hidden World and the present world.

As he got closer, he discovered only a few sparse cultivators guarding the entrance to the mystical barrier.

Sure enough, the mystical barrier seemed to have suffered considerable damage, the flowing light on it flickering, appearing somewhat unstable.

The guarding cultivators, seeing a group of unknown cultivators suddenly appear, felt tense and hastily drew their weapons, facing Yang Yan and the others.

And at that moment, a voice came from the guarding cultivators: "Stop it, all of you! Are you blind? Can’t you see it’s my brother, the Moonlight Emperor?"

For a moment, all the cultivators were astonished.

Moonlight Emperor Yang Yan?!

Immediately, everyone stared intently at the forefront, Yang Yan, whispering amongst themselves.

"Is this the Moonlight Emperor who once single-handedly fought against numerous armies of the Demon Race?"

"It’s said that the Moonlight Emperor at that time single-handedly killed dozens of Emperor-level demons."

"Indeed worthy of the Moonlight Emperor! With his current cultivation, isn’t he already at the Divine-level?"

...

Yang Yan, hearing this familiar voice, couldn’t help but brighten up.

Looking toward the voice, who else could it be but the Ice Emperor Ao Tian.

Not having seen each other for over three years, Ice Emperor Ao Tian’s charm remained, and his strength seemed to have made remarkable progress.

Yang Yan immediately teased, "Wow! After three years apart, I didn’t expect you to progress so much, reaching the early Nascent Soul stage and about to break through to the mid-stage."

Yang Yan wasn’t trying to belittle Ao Tian with his cultivation but was genuinely happy for his rapid progress in such an environment on Earth.

For as long as Ao Tian could break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the pills in his hands could finally be put to use.

Otherwise, with just a Golden Core, or even a half-step Nascent Soul, those Earth-level mid-tier pills would’ve been too much for him to withstand.

Ao Tian rushed over, embracing Yang Yan tightly, pounding his back heavily, then asked in confusion: "Nascent Soul? I’ve just barely reached the Divine-level. It was merely by chance I obtained later cultivation techniques and followed them to luckily break through."

Then, he smiled bitterly: "Honestly, I also don’t know what realm I’ve reached now."

Yang Yan was momentarily speechless, then joked: "You really are something, cultivating without even knowing the realms?"

Ao Tian exaggeratedly rolled his eyes, saying, "Isn’t there an old Huaxia saying, ’learning knows no bounds’? Can there be limits in cultivation realms? But you, I can’t even sense your true realm!"

Yang Yan, unwilling to provoke him, patiently explained the cultivation realms on Wandering Dragon Star to Ao Tian and informed him of the cultivation levels of those around him.

Ao Tian’s eyes widened, shocked and speechless: "What? What did you say?! You’ve reached the peak of Divinity Transformation, just a step away from breaking through to the Void Realm!"

Yang Yan smiled and nodded: "Unfortunately, I forcibly scaled down, and now I’m barely in the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation."

Ao Tian’s emotions surged, momentarily rendering him speechless.

Understandably so.

Previously, he had contemplated that should he ever again meet Yang Yan, he could use his own cultivation to slightly one-up him.

Yet now, it seemed this guy had once again worked miracles, racing ahead of him.

More annoyingly, while before he could still see his silhouette in the distance, now he was far left behind.

Yang Yan merely smiled in silence, and after a while, when Ao Tian had calmed down, he changed the topic.

"How’s the Earth’s present world now?" Yang Yan asked.

Looking at the Ten Swords beside Yang Yan, who had also reached the Nascent Soul Realm, and feeling their aura even more formidable than his, Ao Tian was momentarily dispirited.

He took a deep breath to steady himself: "With the Hidden World’s involvement, the Earth is showing signs of stabilization. It’ll probably stabilize in half a month. However, I feel there’s something odd, like some unknown force is involved."

Yang Yan, remembering Fu Xi’s warning, ultimately decided against revealing the existence of the ancient Great Powers to Ao Tian.

He contemplated for a moment then said, "Earth is just beginning to experience changes; as I understand, the mystical barriers will continue to breach until a prosperous mythological era reemerges."

Ao Tian looked at Yang Yan in disbelief.

With a wry smile, Yang Yan continued, "Due to my current strength, I need your help with something."

Seeing Yang Yan’s grave expression, Ao Tian solemnly replied, "Tell me, as long as it’s within my power, I’ll do it without hesitation."

Yang Yan laughed, "Though important, there’s no danger. I need you to head to the present world and bring back my confidantes and those little ones."

"Also, don’t forget the Eight Hundred Celestial Mist Dao disciples and the three thousand Liuyun Crowd, bring them all here."
