The Divine Realm.
Tai Chi City, Tai Chi Sect.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at the Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds before him, feeling a surge of admiration and pride for Xia Feng.
He and Xia Feng were both from Earth, and seeing one of their own so powerful naturally made Zhang Sanfeng feel powerful too.
It was like being out of town; if your fellow townsman suddenly became successful in another province, even the richest man there, you'd feel proud.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds, a figure who was once so powerful, could practically walk sideways in this Divine Realm, and Zhang Sanfeng himself would show him respect.
After all, the Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds was a peak Divine Venerable realm powerhouse.
No matter how illustrious or formidable a figure was in the past, he had now become Xia Feng's servant.
This was what Zhang Sanfeng admired about Xia Feng.
Divine Emperor powerhouses were truly formidable; Zhang Sanfeng had never witnessed it before, but now he finally understood.
"Lord Zhang, please, no need for such formality. I'll pour it myself, I'll pour it myself," the Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds quickly extended his hand to stop Zhang Sanfeng, who was about to pour him tea.
Today was different from the past; he was now Xia Feng's servant, and Zhang Sanfeng was Xia Feng's friend. Their statuses were quite disparate.
"Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds, you are a Divine Venerable expert. Your relationship with your master is your affair. Since you are here as my guest, it is only proper for me to pour you tea. Please, don't be so polite."
From his days on Earth, Zhang Sanfeng had always treated people with courtesy, especially now when facing someone even stronger than himself.
The strong deserved respect, regardless of their status.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds was very pleased to hear this and secretly thought highly of Zhang Sanfeng. He no longer declined and politely said, "Thank you, True Man Zhang."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds began to address Zhang Sanfeng as True Man Zhang, which was a sign of his politeness.
Mu Yunchen had offered to pour the tea from the start but was politely declined by Zhang Sanfeng.
Regardless of Mu Yunchen's relationship with Xia Feng, they were all guests here.
Lao Tiangou and Pu Buqi, sitting to the side, hadn't said a word. They had arrived earlier and were already accustomed to Zhang Sanfeng's courtesy.
Mu Yunchen was also from Tai Chi City, but she hadn't returned to her own estate.
As the saying goes, a wife follows her husband. Since Xia Feng had asked her to wait here, she had to obey Xia Feng's commands.
"Everyone, I'll offer tea in place of wine to welcome you to Tai Chi Sect as guests." Zhang Sanfeng raised his teacup and toasted the four of them.
"True Man Zhang, thank you for your hospitality," Lao Tiangou said in thanks.
"Thank you for the hospitality," the other three also expressed their gratitude.
Everyone had seen Zhang Sanfeng's hospitality, and it would be false to say they weren't pleased.
Among them, Mu Yunchen had the highest status; at least on the surface, she was likely to become Madam.
As for the other three, they were servants, and to receive such courtesy from Zhang Sanfeng, they were naturally delighted.
No matter where or in what plane of existence, everyone had a desire for strength and self-esteem, and wanted to be respected by others.
Though the three were servants, they were no exception.
"I've long heard that True Man Zhang is a rare divine being in the Divine Realm, adept at handling matters with perfect tact. Seeing you today, I am indeed impressed," the Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds said with an expression of admiration.
He had heard rumors about Zhang Sanfeng before, that he was the most amiable and approachable Divine Venerable, and his reputation had spread widely in the Divine Realm. When the Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds first heard this, he had scoffed.
He thought it was a rumor deliberately spread by Zhang Sanfeng, believing Zhang Sanfeng was putting on an act.
Upon meeting him today, the Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds realized he had been wrong. How narrow-minded and petty his perspective had been back then.
It was a typical case of not being able to stand seeing others fare better than oneself.
"You flatter me," Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Xia Feng's voice was heard from outside the hall: "True Man Zhang, I've troubled you this time."
The five people who were drinking tea were all energized by Xia Feng's voice, with Mu Yunchen showing the most obvious joy on her face.
"Young friend, the Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds mentioned you had urgent business and had to leave. How did you return in just two days?"
Before Xia Feng even entered the hall, Zhang Sanfeng was the first to ask.
"Thank you for your concern, True Man Zhang. The matter has been resolved." Xia Feng's figure appeared in the grand hall.
"Greetings, Master."
"Greetings, Husband."
Everyone quickly rose and bowed.
Mu Yunchen didn't know how to address Xia Feng, but she had a marriage connection with him. Although it wasn't official yet, in her heart, she had long considered Xia Feng her husband, willing to live and die for him, devoted and faithful.
After making several decisions in her heart, Mu Yunchen finally uttered the word "Husband."
"No need for formalities, everyone." Xia Feng waved his hand and walked towards the tea table, sitting down by himself.
Seeing this, Mu Yunchen quickly took a new teacup, filled it for Xia Feng, and sat beside him, not leaving.
"I need to ask you about someone," Xia Feng said after drinking a cup, looking at Zhang Sanfeng and the Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds.
"Speak," Zhang Sanfeng gestured for Xia Feng to ask, and the Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds nodded in agreement.
"Have you ever heard of a person named Amaterasu, a woman?" Xia Feng asked.
Upon hearing Xia Feng inquire about a woman, the Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds and Lao Tiangou exchanged looks of disbelief.
Zhang Sanfeng, however, fell into thought.
Because he also knew of Amaterasu; they were all from Earth.
"Are you asking about the Amaterasu from Yamato?" Zhang Sanfeng asked, looking at Xia Feng.
"Yes, it's her. Her brother and I are sworn enemies. She has saved her brother from my hands on multiple occasions, so I've come to the Divine Realm to find them first, to see if they are also here," Xia Feng nodded.
"It really is her. But I'm afraid I must disappoint you this time. She disappeared ten million years ago, and there's been no news of her since. How did she manage to rescue her brother from you?"
Zhang Sanfeng revealed information about Amaterasu and then asked Xia Feng how she could have rescued someone from his grasp.
After all, Xia Feng was a Divine Emperor, and she could still save someone from him?
The Lord of Ten Thousand Netherworlds and the others were also stunned. Anyone who could rescue someone from Xia Feng's hands would at least be a Divine Emperor expert, wouldn't they?
"She used a clone to rescue him back then; I was still a Divine Emperor at that time," Xia Feng explained.
Hearing Xia Feng say this, everyone finally understood.
"That makes more sense. However, she has been gone for too long, and I don't know where she is now. She came to the Divine Realm twenty million years before me. When I arrived, she was already a Divine Venerable expert," Zhang Sanfeng recalled the past.
Xia Feng nodded slightly, surprised by the woman's talent.
Did everyone who came from Earth do well?
"Besides you, who else has come from Earth?" Xia Feng asked curiously.
"Well, I know of a few. The others either perished in the Immortal Realm or in the Divine Realm."
Zhang Sanfeng thought for a moment before answering Xia Feng's question.
