Imperial God Emperor

It was Hu Bugui and Nan Tieyi.  

Although many years had passed, the two people's appearance was no different from before. Nan Tieyi was still handsome as jade, Hu Bugui was still boorish and bold. Two thousand years of time did not seem to have left any traces on their bodies. Ye Qingyu's eyes were moist with tears the moment they appeared.  

While tears were already streaming down Liu Shaji's cheeks.  

Seeing these two familiar and distant faces, the originally lost memories all of a sudden like an opened gate, came flooding back. Many memories and stories that he did not get from outsiders were suddenly surging in Liu Shaji's mind. Everything he had lost, in this moment, returned to Liu Shaji's mind.  

He knew that he had completely recovered his true memory.  

From now on, he was the real Liu Shaji, and not a reconstructed body.  

“You...”

“Little Ye, and Old Liu?”  

The two figures landed, staring at Ye Qingyu and Liu Shaji in disbelief for a good while, and finally called out the two titles they had in the past. Ye Qingyu was called Little Ye and Liu Shaji was called Old Liu.

“This... my vision is not going blur from being locked up here too long, right?” Nan Tieyi rubbed his eyes several times with a look of disbelief.  

Hu Bugui let out a belch with a strong smell of alcohol, “No, I must be drunk... I'm drunk again...”

They had been trapped in this flower-scented paradise-like world for more than two thousand years. During this long period of time here, they had many times tried to leave, and also many times hoped for outsiders to come save them, but were disappointed again and again, and have had many hallucinations. Although later they focused on cultivation and these hallucinations rarely appeared, in this moment, the two people's first reaction was still disbelief. They still couldn't believe that Ye Qingyu and Liu Shaji have really found them.

“Is there even wine here?” Liu Shaji’s expression soon returned to normal, looking at Hu Bugui, he sniffed, “Bandit Hu, where is the wine? This fragrant aroma... it's like the Immortal wine.”  

Hu Bugui blankly stretched his hand out to touch Liu Shaji's face, saying, “It must be a hallucination, don't even think it deceiving me... Old Liu has died in battle, he is already dead, I won't see him again... Two thousand years, I have not been to Old Liu's grave once, I hate it... Who are you, how dare you pretend to be my brother Old Liu?” as though he drank a lot of wine and was really drunk, Hu Bugui sobbed uncontrollably. He knew that Liu Shaji had fought to the death in order to protect the two hundred young boys and girls of Heaven Wasteland Domain. This scene evoked many sad memories of the past, and coupled with his drunkenness, his feelings burst forth uncontrollably.

Liu Shaji flashed away, crying and laughing, “I have been resurrected, old bandit, it’s been too easy for you, You've been staying in this paradise-like world drinking wine and did not need to experience the great war of the star domains... It was Little Ye who resurrected me.” 

On the other side, Nan Tieyi's expression returned normal. His gaze swept back and forth between Ye Qingyu, Liu Shaji and the White-boned Battle Earth Dragon Little Ten, before it finally fell on Ye Qingyu with a suspicious look. “Really... it's you? You were also sucked in by the space-time cracks on the Yellow Spring River?” 

“We found some clues and followed them.” Ye Qingyu smiled and briefly explained what happened, before adding, “No need to be suspicious, you're not mistaken, and you're not hallucinating.”  

Hu Bugui curled his lips, expression changing abruptly, “No, no, no, where's Little Nine? You’re definitely not the real Little Ye. The real Little Ye is always followed by a shameless, greedy white dog, and not this white-boned beast... You’re a transformation of that demonic thing, yet dare think of tricking me? Hahaha... Little Nan, don't be blinded by that demonic thing.” While speaking, he dragged Nan Tieyi back, adopting a fighting stance. 

A body of qi burst forth.  

Ye Qingyu had long found that the aura of Nan Tieyi and Hu Bugui was different from before. Looking closer he also couldn’t help exclaiming out loud.  

Because the cultivation base of these two people had long ago reached the realm of Martial Emperor, extremely strong, and much more powerful than Liu Shaji who had experienced the golden age of the Vast Thousand Star Domains as well the battle of the star domains. What was even more unbelievable was that the two people's power was the purest power of immortality. Upon a closer look, Nan Tieyi and Hu Bugui's body, both inside and outside, contained a strong, immortal substance.  

“It seems they have obtained fortuitous encounters in this strange world.”  

Ye Qingyu dispelled the Martial Emperor qi of the two with one thought, stopping them from operating the power in their body.  

Given his present strength, it was incredibly easy for him to suppress a Martial Emperor with one thought. 

But Nan Tieyi and Hu Bugui were indeed terror-stricken, rooted to the spot for a minute.  

“Ah, when did the power of the demonic thing become so terrifying?” Hu Bugui exclaimed strangely. 

Nan Tieyi was still staring at Ye Qingyu, saying, “You... really are Little Ye?”  

Ye Qingyu nodded, “Little Nine has left...” He recounted the course of events of Little Nine following the Divine Light Emperor’s body and entered the time-space door with Old Fish, and then introduced the origin of the White-boned Earth Dragon Little Ten. 

After he said that, Nan Tieyi completely believed him. 

While Hu Bugui was still skeptical. In one breath, he asked a lot of things of the past and before waiting for Ye Qingyu to answer, Liu Shaji already accurately answered everything. His memory had been completely restored, everything in the past was incredibly clear, and he was able to answer everything without anything missed out. 

“Is it really you?” Hu Bugui’s eyes lit up. He looked at Nan Tieyi, saying, “It seems to be true, although the demonic thing can read people's mind and distort will, it does not possess such strong power. Otherwise, we would have been dead long ago... Wow, Little Ye, it really is you? Why didn't you say that earlier?” 

As he was speaking, he rushed over and wrapped his arms around Ye Qingyu, and then loosened his grip to aim a fist at Ye Qingyu's left chest, “Brother, it's good to see you again.” As he was speaking he rubbed his eyes, trying hard not to really weep tears.

Ye Qingyu was speechless. He had told him long ago, but he didn’t believe him. 

From their previous dialogue, Ye Qingyu and Liu Shaji also learned that, in this strange world, there seems to be a magical existence called the demonic thing with the remarkably ability to read the minds of others. In the past, it had brought great trouble to Nan Tieyi and Hu Bugui, and thus they couldn't fully believe it was Ye Qingyu and Liu Shaji at first, but thought that it was an illusion created by the demonic thing.  

Hu Bugui then rushed forward to hug Liu Shaji, “Haha, you're really alive? To tell you the truth, I wanted to go to your grave to have a good drink, and bring the Immortal King Wine that I have personally brewed to your grave... now it seems there won't be a chance.” 

Liu Shaji was also speechless.  

Hu Bugui was still the same Hu Bugui. With just two or three words, he already makes people want to beat him up.  

Nan Tieyi's feelings were much more restrained in comparison, but he also came over, and hugged Ye Qingyu and Liu Shaji.

The four people met in Clear River Domain and became close friends. They had fought side by side, like real brothers, and could sacrifice their lives for each other. It was unknown how many storms they had been through, but now that they were able to see each other again after two thousand years, the blood in their chest was still burning, and the brotherly feelings were still greater than heaven.

“Hahaha, I didn't think you can find this world of immortals. Great, quickly come with me to the cave. I need to get my Immortal wine to drink with you. Hahaha.” Hu Bugui excitedly roared, “Haha, even the immortal king will be drunk from the wine brewed from the immortal fruits. Little Ye, you say you’ve surpassed the Martial Emperor realm? But you're still going to be drunk, do you believe it?”  

While talking, the group of people was taken to a mountain peak between the lush green mountains and jade water.  

There was a cave on the peak exuding the aroma of wine. 

The beautiful scenery was delightful.  

The air was full of an omnipresent, intense atmosphere of immortal substance.  

This reminded Ye Qingyu of another place he had been to before.
