Chapter 558: Entering Yu Ting_2
Xu Yan nodded in agreement.
Yu Ting ah, we're finally about to arrive. Will I be able to see the Three Masters of the Jade Court, and what attitude will they have towards me, a being from the Domain?
"Ming Yu, why are you alone, so far away from the Jade Court?"
Xu Yan was curious. Ming Yu's strength wasn't strong, moving away from the Jade Court and approaching the area of the Great Wilderness, or rather, the area near the Imperishable Temple. What exactly was she doing?
With Ming Yu's status in the Jade Court, she shouldn't need to be running errands.
"I went to observe the Domain."
Ming Yu didn't hide anything and said, "The Three Masters told me to go have a look at the Domain but not to enter, just to observe from afar. They said if I didn't look now, I might never get the chance again. So, I went to observe the Domain."
"Who knew the guys from the Divine Temple would go crazy and actually try to capture me? They were really awful."
Observe the Domain!
Which Domain? Naturally, the Great Wilderness!
Moreover, what was the intention behind the Three Masters of the Jade Court asking Ming Yu to observe the Domain?
They also said, if she didn't look now, she might never see it again—is it because the Unchanging Divine Master wants to devour the Domain, or is the Jade Court itself also planning to strike at the Domain?
Xu Yan thought for a moment. If the Jade Court was planning to strike at the Great Wilderness, why urge Ming Yu to observe the Domain now?
They could see it before striking.
Thus, the Three Masters knew that the Imperishable Temple was going to devour the Great Wilderness, and even knew what the purpose of the Unchanging Divine Master was.
Among the Three Masters of the Jade Court, Ming Yu was most familiar with the Third Master. She mentioned the Second and First Masters rarely, but the Third Master many times, and every time, it was the Third Master asking Ming Yu to do something.
"Ming Yu, did you see the Domain? Why didn't you enter the Domain?"
Xu Yan asked, puzzled.
"I saw it."
Ming Yu tilted her head, "Entering the Domain might not be good, the Third Master told me to just take a look from afar, so I didn't go in. The Domain is very beautiful, like a bright pearl."
As she spoke, Ming Yu blinked her eyes at him, "Xu Yan, how did you create your small Domain? It looks just like a real Domain. Are you from that Domain?"
Xu Yan nodded, "Yes, I come from that Domain, the Great Wilderness Domain. My small Domain looks real because I used that mountain."
"Great Wilderness? Wasn't the Domain called Taicang?"
Ming Yu looked puzzled.
"Taicang is the old name, it has become history. The current Domain is called the Great Wilderness. You can enter the Great Wilderness; the scenery there is far beyond what The Land of Chaotic Imperishable can offer."
"The Domain's all living beings, local customs, human interactions, the warmth and cold of society, all are worth your visit,"
Xu Yan said with a smile.
"Then... if I get a chance, you take me there. You host me; I'll visit. How about that?"
Ming Yu's eyes brightened, her face full of hopeful expression.
"Okay!"
Xu Yan nodded.
"Xu Yan, you are really too kind!"
Ming Yu was very happy, "I will treat you well in the Jade Court, and you don't need to be polite with me."
"Then, thank you!"
Xu Yan's smile was radiant.
"Look, that's the Jade Court!"
Ming Yu pointed with her hand, her smile clear and beautiful.
Xu Yan looked up and saw a faint jade-white glow emerge amid the Chaos, like a jade disc adorning that chaotic land.
The Jade Court, true to its name, was flawless white, seemingly constructed from a colossal piece of beautiful jade, stepping into it felt like entering a world of jade.
The houses, gardens, pavilions, and towers were carved as if from fine jade.
The Jade Court was vast, like a small domain on its own. Entering the gate of the Jade Court stood two enormous Jade Persons.
The burly, enormous Jade Persons, like jade sculptures, held spears and stood guard, their eyes lacked dark pupils and appeared sculpted, emitting a faint silver glow.
As the Flying Boat approached, the Jade Persons with spears assumed a defensive posture.
"Xu Yan, follow me. I'll talk to them; they won't make it difficult for you."
Ming Yu disembarked from the Flying Boat.
Xu Yan stowed the Flying Boat and followed behind Ming Yu, his gaze curiously turning towards the Jade Person holding a spear in a defensive posture, his heart secretly taken aback.
A Master of Heaven and Earth level powerhouse!
Ming Yu, donning a happy smile, led Xu Yan to the entrance of Yu Ting and waved her hand, "Yu Da, Yu Er, this is my friend, not an outsider!"
The two Jade People looked at Xu Yan, then Ming Yu, thought for a moment, and put away their spears.
"Xu Yan, let's go."
Ming Yu stepped joyously into the gates of Yu Ting.
Xu Yan took a deep breath and followed closely behind, only then truly realizing the extraordinary status and identity Ming Yu held within Yu Ting.
Even Jade People of the Master of Heaven and Earth level obeyed her commands.
As they passed the two Jade People, Xu Yan carefully examined them, his heart slightly trembling as his gaze landed on a dim white light.
Yet, compared to looking at Ming Yu, he saw something much more.
Moreover, although these two Jade People were powerful, their quick thinking was inferior to Ming Yu's, lacking a certain "human" essence.
Stepping into Yu Ting, all that met his eyes was beautiful jade, even the sparse vegetation had a jade-like quality.
"Yu Ting itself is a Supreme Treasure!"
This thought reverberated shockingly in Xu Yan's mind, surpassing even the Hong Ze Domain.
"Yu Ting is quite large, and you're unfamiliar since it's your first visit, so there are some places you can't go yet. Let us first head to the courtyard where I live, and once you're familiar, you can explore more."
Ming Yu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss Ming Yu!"
Xu Yan followed Ming Yu deeper into Yu Ting. Along the way, they occasionally encountered other Jade People, and as Ming Yu had described, the weakest among them possessed Realm Master level strength, and noticing more about these Jade People, Xu Yan observed some disparities.
Although, it wasn't clear whether they were the same during combat, but in non-combat situations, these Jade People indeed had significant differences.
Aside from some behaviors, especially in terms of thinking, each Jade Person had their differences, and their ways of thinking seemed varied too.
Though they were beings with Spiritual Wisdom, they appeared slow, some looking downright foolish.
For instance, Xu Yan saw a Jade Person watering an unknown tree. Midway, the person lay down to lick the water off the tree roots, then continued watering while licking, which looked quite abnormal.
Similarly, he saw another Jade Person practicing Fist Techniques, which seemed ordinary and didn't match his strength, but as he shouted with each punch, he got stuck in a move and froze completely.
"I thought Ming Yu was somewhat slow, but compared to these Jade People, she's practically a genius!"
Xu Yan thought with amazement.
Every corner of Yu Ting was abnormal, yet such abnormal beings were highly guarded by the Imperishable Divine Temple, not to be underestimated.
"We shouldn't judge by appearances, these Jade People may look slow and dull, but in battle, they're anything but."
Xu Yan grew intensely interested in the Three Masters of the Jade Court.
Surely, the Three Masters of Yu Ting couldn't all resemble these slow and dull Jade People?
"Here we are, this is where I live."
Finally, under Ming Yu's guidance, they arrived at an elegant little courtyard.
Everything in the courtyard was flawlessly white jade, even a small pagoda within it; in the center of the courtyard, a small pond had several fish swimming about.
Just as flawless, the fish seemed carved out of beautiful jade.
Looking around the courtyard, Xu Yan felt more convinced of his suspicions.
"Sister Ming, you're back!"
From the pagoda, a young maid scurried out, appearing about fifteen or sixteen, delicate and cute, her bright eyes curiously gazing at Xu Yan.
"Xiao Jie, this is a friend I made outside, Xu Yan!"
Ming Yu introduced him, "This is... Xiao Jie, who takes care of me."
Xu Yan gave a warm smile, nodding, "Hello, Miss Xiao Jie!"

So Ming Yu even had a maid attending her.
Looking about fifteen or sixteen, Xiao Jie this maid also possessed Realm Master level strength, though slightly weaker than Ming Yu.
"Hello, Xu Yan... brother?!"
Xiao Jie tilted her head, blinking as she looked at Xu Yan.
It seemed she was pondering, trying to figure out how best to address Xu Yan, considering she called Ming Yu sister, and Xu Yan being Ming Yu's friend, naturally should be called brother?
