They arrived in front of the palace gate and entered immediately inside without anyone holding them back. Apart from being with Doju and Suho, Ze was also already known as an important part of the palace so that he could freely go in and out of the palace.
"How long has he been unconscious?" ask Ze while walking.
"About 10 glorious days." replied Suho.
"Why did you guys just look for me instead of directly looking for me from the beginning?" ask Ze.
"The crown prince thinks it's no big deal because other than being unconscious there are no other problems visible from the emperor's body" Doju replied.
They walked towards the residence of the saint spirit beast emperor. Along the way some of the bodyguards and servants they passed looked down respectfully at them.
They entered the emperor's residence without anyone to hold him back because of the order from Zili for the guards to let them go straight in if they had arrived.
Inside the emperor's room, Ze could see the emperor lying down like a sleeping man while Zili sat pensively beside the bed.
"Sir." Ze patted Zili on the shoulder making the young man flinch.
"You have arrived, Your Majesty. I'm sorry I didn't welcome you." said Zili.
"What's wrong with you? Why is there a problem like this you didn't tell me right away?" ask Ze.
"Sorry, your majesty, I didn't expect it to be like this" Zili said.
"Let me check the situation" Ze said, and Zili immediately stood up, letting Ze sit in his place.
Ze grabbed the hand of the saint spirit beast emperor then checked the pulse on his wrist. Ze tried to open the emperor's eyes to examine the emperor's pupils then let out a long sigh.
"It looks like I should use the eyes of the gods to ascertain what happened" Ze murmured.
Ze held the hand of the saint spirit beast emperor then concentrated. His pupils instantly changed color to a golden color. Seeing that Zili and the others looked solemnly at Ze.
"What really happened to the noble servant's father?" zili asked as she looked at Ze's pupils returning to normal.
"Your father is only through a long sleep that must be passed by a holy spirit animal that enters his age. This long sleep is indeed the thing that must be passed by the saint spirit beast once in your lifetime." explains Ze.
"Why don't you know what must have happened to your race?" ask Ze.
"For several thousand years this thing called long sleep never happened again. After all, a long sleep will occur at the whim of the owner of the body so that he can choose a safe place and make preparations such as protection for his safety. The emperor had a long sleep all of a sudden and we elders had even forgotten about this matter." explained an elder.
"Why is the obligatory cycle in the life of that saint spirit beast able to not occur for several thousand years?" ask Ze.
"We also no one knew the cause of it happening until we thought it might have been wiped out by the gods from our lifeline" the elder replied.
"It has to do with the loss of the strongest Gods and Goddesses that govern the harmony of the life of the entire universe. Things are starting to return as before because they have reincarnated but, it is still a bit chaotic because they have not returned to their previous position." explained the sword spirit.
"Are those the ones you also Silla mentioned earlier?" ask Ze.
"Yes, you just need to know and don't tell them about this." replied the sword spirit.
"Are we just letting the state of the saint spirit beast emperor be like that?" ask Ze.
"Actually before going through a long sleep the saint spirit beasts had to make some preparations so that when they woke up they would not experience any problems on his body. But since he suddenly fell asleep, you tried to do something so that he drank a mixture of holy water with mashed Yiyang leaves to maintain the stability of energy in their bodies." replied the sword spirit.
"What are the uses of long sleep?" ask Ze.
"They are the ones who made it through long sleep without interruption, they will rise in the level of attainment because before doing a long sleep they will usually find it difficult to break through the noble level and a small percentage of those who are very lucky will become heavenly spirit beasts." replied the sword spirit.
"Heavenly spirit means that the spirit animal has reached the perfection of rank. He would have a perfect soul and body and be able to stand on equal footing with the gods." explained the sword spirit.
"But it's almost impossible to happen. In the hundreds of millions of years that passed, only one of the saint spirit beasts had obtained the grace of being a heavenly spirit beast" said the sword spirit.
"Help me smooth some of the leaves of Yiyang and dissolve them in this holy water" Ze said as he thrust his holy water bag.
"Let the servant take his noble Yiyang leaves." Doju bargained and left after getting a nod of the head by Zili.
"The holy water and the leaves of Yiyang are ready noble" said Suho as he gave a container of water that he meant.
Ze opened the mouth of the saint spirit beast emperor then made the liquid move like it passed through a small hose entering the mouth of the saint spirit beast emperor.
"I'll make a protective seal around this place. No one needs to come closer to this room because it will be very dangerous for anyone. Because the seal I made will destroy anyone who comes close to the emperor of the saint spirit beast" Ze said.
"Good noble" said Zili.
"You guys come out, I'll make a seal right now" Ze said they immediately walked out of the room.
Ze walked out of the room and immediately joined those who were waiting for him.
"We need to get back to the underworld" Ze said.
"Let a....
"You are the crown prince who must replace the emperor as long as he has not woken up from that long slumber. You'd better stay in the upper world." Sela Ze's.
"Let us deliver the noble." hailed Doju.
"All right, you're on a glorious journey. I'll be calmer if you do that as long as I can't keep your majesty" Zili said.
They return to the underworld ushered in by Doju and Suho. They were immediately escorted to the Beicheng kingdom on Ze's orders. Doju and Suho did not stay by Ze's side because Ze argued that Zili was much more in need of them in his busy life during his time as a temporary impromptu emperor.
"It turns out you took us to the Beicheng Kingdom just to eat mooncakes from this store?" hui asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I've heard before that mooncakes here are the best. I didn't have time to try it before because there were a lot of things happening in a row. Now I have plenty of time before your wife is done with that tap so, I took the time to try it out right away." ze said with a smile to see some dishes presented various kinds of sweet cakes with a very tempting look.
"You sung....
"Stop babbling in front of good food. I want to eat quietly all these sweet and cute foods." said Ze then immediately devoured one by one the food.
"Ah I am very full" said Ze.
"You how not to be full, all the food served almost entirely you who eat it" said Hui tu with a surprised face.
"You're going to be a ball if you keep eating like this" he added.
"My wife does need a lot of food to be fuller. I feel guilty about this because his body is too thin. People might think I can't give my wife good food" Jin Hu said.
"Whatever, where are we going now? Is it straight back to the palace above the clouds?" ask Hui.
"We went to see Huo nan first. I wonder what she did to her mother and step-sister so she said that they can't do anything as long as she's with us before." Ze replied.
"I agree, I'm also curious about the ridiculous prince" Hui said.
"Whatever my wife wants, I'll follow." said Jin hu.
