Chapter 521 Ah Ying's wish comes true, see you in the underground palace
Without further ado, Wenwen released Aying and pointed to the top of the stone hall, saying, "Aying, go take a look."
Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin watched helplessly as A Ying flew up in a flash.
After a while, they heard Ah Ying chirping, "Master, master, it's me, it's me, chirp chirp chirp! It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to me without any effort at all!"
Aying chirped excitedly and swooped down towards Wenwen.
Wenwen was speechless...
Who said it was effortless? Did she say that? It clearly took a lot of effort, didn't it?
Wen Chengjian and his brother asked, "Little sister, what's wrong?"
Before receiving her reply, the two brothers both looked up.
The three siblings all looked up at the top of the stone hall.
At this moment, the light shining through the five small holes could be seen to slowly converge into a beam of strong light. This beam of light swayed back and forth in the stone hall, sweeping around the room as if searching for a target.
Just as the three siblings were stunned, the beam of light stopped on one of the stone walls.
The next second, a rumbling sound rang out, and then a door opened in the stone wall.
From the outside, it appears to be another dark, deep cave, with steps leading downwards.
"This is..." Wen Chengbin said in disbelief, "...an underground palace!"
He had barely finished speaking when a faint voice drifted out from inside the door, "You've arrived? Come in!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the three siblings were lifted down by a suction force.
Ah Ying froze for a moment, then screamed at the top of her lungs, "Master—is that you?"
Wenwen knew that Aying wasn't calling for her, its new owner; it was calling for its former owner.
So the three siblings stared wide-eyed as Aying flew down into the underground palace like an arrow.
......
Deep in the underground palace.
After descending the long staircase, one arrives at a grand hall with a prominent circular platform in the center.
At this moment, on the round platform, a faint, illusory figure sat cross-legged, with a piece of soul-nourishing wood placed in front of the figure.
Two people were sitting on the round platform, meditating and cultivating.
It was none other than their grandmaster and Ye Jingchuan.
After the grandmaster and Ye Jingchuan left Xingyu City, the old dragon led the two of them to Yuanling Dalu with ease, guided by the celestial master. They did not stop in any city, but rested directly in the Misty Forest.
While waiting for the secret realm to open, the master and disciple trained by slaying monsters in the Misty Forest. Although the grandmaster was old, he refused to admit his age and fought monsters even harder than Ye Jingchuan. As a result, the grandmaster's cultivation bottleneck loosened a bit.
Just as the grandmaster was about to press his advantage and hunt down another wave of monsters, the secret realm opened.
So, under the guidance of the Celestial Master, the master and disciple took the opportunity to sneak into the secret realm just before it was about to close.
Thus, they became the miracle that managed to sneak in by taking advantage of the chaos.
After entering the secret realm, the Celestial Master guided them all the way to the underground palace.
The underground palace is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in this secret realm. In fact, the underground palace has a hidden entrance and exit, which most people do not know about.
So, the grandmaster and Ye Jingchuan settled down in the underground palace, hunting monsters during the day and meditating and cultivating at night. After more than a month, their cultivation finally made a breakthrough.
On this day, just as the day was breaking, the grandmaster and the others were about to go hunting when the Celestial Master stopped them.
"You can focus on your cultivation in the underground palace today. I expect they should be arriving by now," the Celestial Master said.
Ye Jingchuan asked with curiosity, "Who exactly are the people you're talking about, senior?"
Upon hearing this, the grandmaster scolded, "Xiao Chuan, be careful what you say."
The Celestial Master said, "It's alright, everyone has curiosity! You'll find out soon enough, just wait and see!"
Alright, since I can't go out today, I might as well just focus on my cultivation. Anyway, the mystery will be revealed soon, so there's no rush.
The grandmaster glanced at Ye Jingchuan, who, having received the grandmaster's warning, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
You can't blame him for being curious!
Throughout this journey, the Celestial Master never revealed why they had come here. He only instructed them to go out and kill demonic beasts during the day and return at night to cultivate.
Following the principle of seeing things through to the end, one would expect that by now the Celestial Master's request should have been fulfilled. However, it hasn't; the Celestial Master still says he needs to wait for someone.
Okay, let's just wait!
They finally relented today, and the people are almost here, but who exactly are they? The Celestial Master won't say again!
Ugh!
Those who are powerful have a voice.
Previously, the Celestial Master was clearly very weak, but as soon as he entered the underground palace, his aura gradually became stronger, and his fleeting phantom slowly solidified, revealing his appearance and features.
Time passed slowly, and just as the Grandmaster and Ye Jingchuan were immersed in cultivation, the Celestial Master suddenly said, "Finally, it's here."
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a familiar bird call coming from afar. Not long after, an echo of "Master—is that you?" resounded throughout the underground palace, and then a small bird flew in.
"Ah Ying, it's been a long time," the Celestial Master said with a smile. "How have you been?"
"Master, you're still alive! Master... Waaaaah... Chirp chirp chirp—Ah Ying missed you so much, Master... Chirp chirp—"
Aying burst into tears instantly, her cries heart-wrenching and filled with unbearable grievances. This scene left her master and Ye Jingchuan speechless. "Aying?"
But what surprised them even more was yet to come.
Before the two masters could recover, Wenwen and her two siblings appeared in the hall.
"Grandmaster, Uncle?" the three siblings asked in confusion.
"So it really is you?" Wen Chengbin lunged forward, hugged his grandmaster, and cried out, "Grandmaster—I missed you so much!"
The sudden burst of enthusiasm instantly silenced the hall, even stopping Aying's crying.
Only then did Aying see her grandmaster and Ye Jingchuan below the round platform. She tilted her head, her little eyes darting around a few times, before finally realizing, "So that's how it is, grandmaster! You've really tricked me!"
The grandmaster was speechless...
One person is enthusiastic while the bird is blaming him; he hasn't even figured out what's going on yet, so how did he get onto the charge of deception!
"Ah Ying!" the Celestial Master said in time, "It's not the fault of Fellow Daoist Master, but the fault of our shallow fate that prevented us from meeting at Changming Peak. However, it's not too late to meet now. Look at you, you've recovered your health, haven't you?"
"Yes, they're almost ready..."
Aying flew around the Celestial Master a few times before stopping in front of him and starting to chatter with him.
Meanwhile, the grandmaster pushed Wen Chengbin away from his arms with a look of disgust.
"You brat, what kind of behavior is this? Get out of the way!" After saying this, the grandmaster sniffed the air. "What are you holding?"
Wen Chengbin raised his hands high, "Oh, grilled fish! Grandmaster, would you like some?"
