Peerless Taoist

When he heard this name, Lu Yu was shocked and quickly asked, "Is he outside the palace?"    

"That's right," the eunuch replied respectfully. At the same time, he looked at Lu Yu in surprise. This was the first time he had seen Lu Yu so excited.    

Lu Yu did not waste any time and left the palace. His figure turned into a phantom and instantly appeared outside the palace.    

At this moment, in front of the palace's gate, a burly man with a rough face and a thick beard was chatting with Yi Sheng.    

The burly man was only wearing a piece of beast skin. It was unknown what kind of beast it was, but he was barefooted as if he was a barbarian. This man was none other than Que Hou!    

Que Hou was the Marquis of the ancient Heavenly Court. The people called him Que Hou. Back then, when the Demon Race broke into the Heavenly Court, he was the last Golden Immortal who guarded the Two Realms Mountain.    

Back then, in the lower realm, it was also because of Que Hou that Lu Yu had embarked on the path of cultivation.    

It could be said that Que Hou was his life's cultivation mentor. He had opened up a brand new path of cultivation for him.    

"Your Majesty!"    

When the surrounding guards saw Lu Yu coming over, they all bowed.    

They were still cautious. With Que Hou's appearance, he was like a barbarian who had walked out of a wild mountain. Moreover, he was emitting a powerful aura. Anyone who saw him would think that he was not a good person.    

If it wasn't for Yi Sheng accompanying him, the surrounding Qin soldiers would have long since swarmed over and captured Que Hou.    

"Lu Yu, we meet again!"    

What was surprising was that Que Hou did not speak the ancient language this time. Instead, he spoke the language of the modern world. His words were clear and his pronunciation was perfect. It seemed that he had experienced a lot in such a long time.    

"Que Hou!"    

Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a bright light as he walked out.    

"Why are you here?"    

After sizing up this once-great ancient Immortal, Lu Yu could immediately tell that Que Hou should be at the second level of the Heavenly Realm. His soul power was extremely abundant and his mana was deep.    

With such strength, he would be considered quite powerful in the ancient Heavenly Court. However, at this moment, such strength was nothing.    

In the past, Lu Yu was just a junior in front of Que Hou. But now, Lu Yu had the right to look down on him.    

"I have something important to tell you."    

Que Hou was still as stingy as before. The two of them had not met for a long time, but they did not exchange pleasantries. Instead, he directly stated his purpose for coming here.    

Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a bright gleam. "Alright, please come in."    

After saying that, Lu Yu cupped his hands at Yi Sheng and said, "Master, I have something important to deal with today. Please help me preside over the court."    

Yi Sheng naturally knew Que Hou's background. This once-great Immortal had suddenly descended here. There must be something urgent, so he agreed.    

Lu Yu brought Qu Hou to a secret room in the Imperial Palace. This place was quiet enough, and only Lu Yu would enter this place when he was discussing important matters.    

Lu Yu did not expect Qu Hou to be even more cautious. He raised his hand and slapped it, causing countless flying runes to appear in his palm. They floated in all directions and completely sealed the surrounding space.    

With this, the space here was completely isolated from the outside world. From the outside world, no one could use the Spiritual Sense to observe the situation inside the secret room.    

"Qu Hou, why are you so cautious?"    

Seeing that Qu Hou was actually so cautious, Lu Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.    

However, Qu Hou did not directly answer. He sized Lu Yu up and exclaimed, "You are indeed as I expected. You are truly a peerless genius. Now, it seems like you are the Son of Heaven of this era."    

Lu Yu did not pretend to be pretentious when he heard such praise. He only looked at Qu Hou, waiting to see what he would say next.    

Qu Hou did not hide anything either. He told Lu Yu what had happened later.    

It turned out that after Lu Yu left the Lower Realm, many changes had occurred in the entire Heaven Realm. The Heaven Lake where Qu Hou's residual soul originally was at had also obtained shocking Spiritual Qi and became a holy land.    

Qu Hou was originally a person with extraordinary talent. During the catastrophe of the ancient era, he did not die. It could be seen that his luck was extraordinary. He actually relied on his residual soul to forcefully condense the Spiritual Qi of all directions into a physical body and resurrected.    

"To me, this is also a fortuitous opportunity. I have broken through the mysteries of the Heavenly Realm and finally broke through from the Earth Realm to the Heavenly Realm."    

He said.    

"Why didn't you come to find me?" Lu Yu asked the question that he had been wanting to ask.    

"I have something more important to do. You were too weak at that time, so you couldn't help me." He shook his head.    

Just as Lu Yu had guessed, when Lu Yu left the Lower Realm, the Great Yu Imperial Court was in a storm. Lu Yu was fighting with the Great Tang.    

At that time, although Lu Yu had a small reputation in the Heaven Realm, he was still too weak in the eyes of Que Hou.    

"What's the matter that you need help with?" Lu Yu asked.    

"To tell you the truth, what I did was to search for the true source of this world. Other people underestimated this world. Even the gods of the ancient era didn't realize how precious this world was."    

He said.    

"The source of the world?"    

Lu Yu suddenly thought of the source of the world he had obtained in the Prehistoric Era of the Jade Capital.    

That source of the world had allowed Lu Yu to grasp many laws, and his understanding of the Great Dao was even deeper. His cultivation level had also advanced by leaps and bounds.    

However, Lu Yu had never been able to find the real source of the world.    

There were many worlds in the outside world, including the Dark Yin Heaven and the Dark Mortal Heaven. They were all named because the source of the world belonged to someone.    

As for the name of the "Heaven Realm", it was only a name for people who lived in this world. In fact, strictly speaking, this place was an ownerless land, so it naturally did not have a name.    

"It seems like you have found the origin of the world," Lu Yu asked.    

"If I really had mastered the origin of the world, I wouldn't have come to look for you."    

Jiang Hou shook his head and sighed, "Let's talk about this again."    

"In the Prehistoric Era, our world had a glorious past. There were many ancient and powerful existences."    

It was a glorious era. There were countless experts born in this world, and they had the ability to overturn rivers and seas and destroy the heavens and earth.    

However, as time passed, that era suddenly disappeared like a flower in the spring. All that was left was ruins and a desolate land.    

Even the ancient Heavenly Court knew very little about it. Amongst the gods and buddhas, only Jiang Hou was searching for the traces of that era.    

"In the Prehistoric Era, even if there were countless experts, they were not even ten percent of the glorious era. I can now confirm that there were at least ten legendary experts in our world."    

A proud expression flashed across Jiang Hou's face. "What is the Supreme Purity Heaven? What is the Eternal Night Heaven? Our world is the true priceless treasure!"
