This is a Great Immortal!

Those are beings who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation. In the vast and boundless mortal realm, how many Great Luo Golden Immortals are there? Only a handful!

These Great Immortals are all ancient monsters who have survived the test of time for countless years. They are not only ancient, but also the foundation of powerful forces behind them, possessing earth-shattering supernatural powers and unfathomable strength.

Looking at Ye Chen, according to Elder Peng, Ye Chen is probably not even ten thousand years old yet.

Yet this incredibly young person has already achieved the status of a Great Immortal, which is truly unbelievable and astonishing!

Although Elder Peng had always known that Ye Chen was exceptionally talented and a prodigy, he never expected that Ye Chen would be this prodigy.

In just a few thousand years, Ye Chen completed the astonishing leap from Martial Emperor to Grand Luo Golden Immortal. This speed of progress is simply astonishing and terrifying.

"I never imagined that in just a few thousand years, you would have risen to such an unattainable height!"

Elder Peng gazed at Ye Chen before him and couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion.

Faced with Elder Peng's praise, Ye Chen replied with a solemn expression and a sincere tone: "No matter what achievements I make or how high I reach, Elder Peng, you will always be my respected elder."

"If it weren't for your care and support in the past, I probably wouldn't be where I am today. I will remember this kindness for all eternity."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Elder Peng's weathered face was instantly filled with relief. He slowly raised his hand and gently patted Ye Chen's broad and sturdy shoulder, saying earnestly, "Child, go and pay your respects to the Palace Master! If the Palace Master knows that you have returned safely, he will be overjoyed and unable to contain his happiness."

"Alright, Elder Peng, then this disciple will take his leave."

Ye Chen nodded solemnly, then straightened his back and bowed deeply to Elder Peng.

This bow was filled with his deep gratitude for Elder Peng's meticulous teaching and care over the years.

After the ceremony, Ye Chen resolutely turned around and walked away with firm and powerful steps.

Deep within Ye Chen's sincere heart, only two people occupy the most important and irreplaceable positions in the entire human race's temple.

One of them was Elder Peng, who was standing behind him with a kind smile on his face.

For Ye Chen, Elder Peng was the one who gave him a second life. It is no exaggeration to say that without Elder Peng's casual act back then, Ye Chen would not have achieved such remarkable success today.

The other person was none other than the aloof yet incredibly kind and amiable Lord God Wuyan of the Human God Temple.

Since Ye Chen was fortunate enough to become Shen Wuyan's personal disciple, Shen Wuyan has always treated him like his own son and shown him great care.

Even back then, if Ye Chen hadn't suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, Shen Wuyan would have already planned to formally appoint him as the Divine Son of the Human Race Temple, entrusting him with even greater responsibilities and missions.

However, with Ye Chen disappearing without warning, the matter had to be put on hold.

After going through countless hardships to return to the Human Race Temple, what Ye Chen most urgently wanted to do was to see Elder Peng, who was like his own parents, and his master, Shen Wuyan, who had placed high hopes on him and loved him dearly.

...

Before long, Ye Chen arrived at the 90th floor as quickly as a gust of wind.

This place is the abode of his highly respected and unfathomably powerful master, Shen Wuyan.

As soon as Ye Chen appeared on this floor, a scene came into his view: a middle-aged man dressed in plain robes was sitting quietly cross-legged in the center of the hall.

The middle-aged man had a resolute face and an air of authority between his brows, but at this moment his attention was completely drawn to the various books he was flipping through, as if he was eagerly searching for some crucial information or answer.

So engrossed in his work, the middle-aged man was unaware that Ye Chen had quietly appeared.

And what about Ye Chen?

Seeing his master so engrossed in his work, he couldn't bear to interrupt, so he simply stood quietly in place, silently watching over him.

Time passed by, and the entire space was immersed in a tranquil and solemn atmosphere.

Finally, after a long wait, the middle-aged man slowly put down the book in his hand.

However, his expression was unusually solemn at this moment, and he even sighed softly, as if he were under some kind of immense pressure.

"Master!"

Just then, Ye Chen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

Although his voice wasn't loud, it sounded exceptionally clear and resonant in the quiet environment.

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Wuyan, who had been lost in thought, suddenly froze, his body trembling involuntarily.

At the same time, the heavy book he was holding slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a sharp "snap" due to the sudden fright.

"Chen...Chen'er!"

Shen Wuyan looked up in astonishment, his gaze falling precisely on Ye Chen's chiseled, handsome face.

Ye Chen was dressed in white, his posture upright, like an immortal descending to earth. His brows revealed a resolute and confident air that captivated everyone.

"Disciple Ye Chen greets Master."

Ye Chen knelt respectfully on both knees and kowtowed three times to Shen Wuyan. Each kowtow struck Shen Wuyan's heart like a heavy hammer blow.

"Get up...get up quickly!"

Shen Wuyan rushed to Ye Chen's side, taking three steps in two, and gently helped him up by firmly grasping his arms. Shen Wuyan was trembling with excitement, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

"Chen'er, it really is you! I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime!"

"You're not dead? That's great! That's wonderful!"

The god was so excited that he was incoherent, and tears of joy glistened in his eyes.

Over the years, he had been constantly worried about Ye Chen's safety. Now that he saw Ye Chen appearing in front of him safe and sound, a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

With Ye Chen's sudden appearance, the solemn expression on Shen Wuyan's face instantly vanished, as if all his troubles and worries had been thrown to the winds.

"Master, I'm sorry for making you worry all these years."

Ye Chen's eyes reddened slightly, and tears welled up in them.

He knew all too well how much pain and torment his disappearance had caused his master over the years, and his heart was filled with guilt.
