Chapter 342: Chapter 342 – Egotistical Emperor Zhao
Liu Wuji remained silent, making Zhou Xuanji feel quite annoyed.
“Don’t you want to revive? If I’m killed by your fleshly body, you’ll die as well,” Zhou Xuanji said as he coldly harrumphed. If he died, the Ancient G.o.d Swords’ souls would all perish as well.
Of course, he did not feel that he would die; he was very powerful in his current state.
Sovereign Xuan said, “He has no face to speak. Back then, he did not willingly discard his fleshly body.”
Oh?
Could it be that the strongest in the human race had been threatened?
Zhou Xuanji felt quite curious and just as he was about to ask, Liu Wuji began to speak.
“Ai, after I ascended, I divined this karma. However, I could not go down, so I could only use my divine will to find a legatee to guard my body. However, there will always be people who do anything for power.”
His tone was quite gloomy and incredibly complicated.
Who wanted their fleshly body to be coveted by others, even if it was just a corpse?
“How powerful do you think your fleshly body is by now?” Zhou Xuanji asked. After all, knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemies could result in countless victories.
“I’m not sure; after all, I’ve separated from that fleshly body for over 100,000 years. Even though my corpse’s cultivation has declined, at the very least it will have the strength of a Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortal. If it has absorbed essence qi, its strength will increase,” Liu Wuji said uncertainly. Even he was not sure.
Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortal…
Zhou Xuanji’s eyelids twitched; this was enough strength to slap Tian to death!
Moreover, when that fellow had run out 50,000 years ago, he definitely had strength greater than that of a Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortal.
He hurriedly asked, “Can you control it?”
Liu Wuji sighed as he said, “I’m just a trace of a remnant soul now, and I don’t have enough power. Otherwise, this Ancient G.o.d Sword would be even stronger.”
That was true.
If he could control his Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortal fleshly body, the Ancient G.o.d Sword would most likely exceed the Intimidating Spirit grade.
Zhou Xuanji felt a headache coming on—how should he deal with Liu Wuji’s body?
Emperor Zhao chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, even though Liu Wuji was called the strongest in the human race, that was only limited to the human race. What’s more, it’s just a corpse—it’ll never slaughter the mortal realm!”
Liu Wuji coldly harrumphed, sounding quite displeased.
Zhou Xuanji narrowed his eyes as he asked, “You mean to say that there are other experts hidden in the Northern Wilderness?”
He thought of Baihao Yixin.
Even Great Emperor Heartless could reincarnate, so perhaps there were other Great Emperors in hiding.
“There are always people who can’t get used to living in the Upper Realm, so they come down and hide in the mortal realm,” Emperor Zhao said casually. This fellow always spoke so casually and idly, like a loiterer.
However, Zhou Xuanji did not underestimate him; after all, this fellow had been an Emperor of the human race back in his age.
He was also the only Human Emperor who had conquered the ocean.
After becoming a Great Emperor and ascending, he had left behind many legends. There were many temples and ancestral halls that had his stone statues.
Emperor Cang Hai suddenly said, “Don’t worry, the ocean has many races hidden there, and if you can’t beat Liu Wuji’s corpse, you can go to the ocean. As long as you don’t say that you’re from the Northern Wilderness, it will be very easy for you to hide there.”
Ocean?
Zhou Xuanji frowned.
Emperor Zhao said disdainfully, “You’re all full of half-truths! You have no idea how mighty my human race is!”
Emperor Canghai was not infuriated and did not reply.
Zhou Xuanji asked them a few more questions before preparing to put away the sword.
“If you’re not confident, you can go to Juedi Cliff. I hid a treasure there, and when the time comes I’ll take you to find it to deal with Liu Wuji. Heh heh, I had always felt regret that I was not able to fight with the strongest in the human race, but now I might have the chance,” Emperor Zhao once again spoke and laughed, sounding quite excited.
Even though this fellow was a chatterer, he was quite domineering and was not any inferior to the cold and aloof Liu Wuji.
Liu Wuji did not say anything; Zhou Xuanji did not know if he was afraid or too disdainful to reply.
Zhou Xuanji nodded and said, “Alright.”
After saying this, he put the Ancient G.o.d Sword away before returning to the top of the mountain to continue to cultivate.
After talking with the nine souls, he did not feel at ease and instead felt even more worried.
An evil demon that surpa.s.sed Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortals, as well as peerless powerful beings hidden in the world.
He suddenly felt that he and Yang Di were just jokes. There were heavens beyond the heavens and people beyond people—that was completely true.
“Interesting, this is quite good. The more ancient experts there are, the more of a challenge it will be.” Zhou Xuanji’s mouth curved up and the worry in his heart turned into seeds of excitement, flowing through his bones and muscles.
He sat at the edge of the cliff and began to cultivate.
News of Liu Wuji’s revival had not yet spread in the Northern Wilderness; currently, the world was still talking about Zhou Xuanji establis.h.i.+ng a sect.
This was the most important thing to him right now.
Within a Daoist temple, Feng Kule was currently reading through an ancient book.
The fragrance of incense filled the temple, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
Apart from him, there was no one else within the Daoist temple, but demons’ roars could often be heard from outside.
At that moment, a person walked in.
Feng Kule looked over and his expression slightly changed as he asked in a low voice, “Who are you, sir?”
The newcomer was Baihao Yixin.
He was wearing elegant white clothes and held a paper fan, and he laughed as he said, “I’ve heard that you’re the person with the greatest accomplishments in the Way of Karma apart from the Heaven Executives. This Emperor wants to take you in, and in the future I’ll give you the opportunity to become a Great Emperor as well.”
Feng Kule looked surprised and his eyes narrowed as he asked, “You are Great Emperor Heartless?”
The only Great Emperor alive in the current age!
He immediately became calm again, but ripples surfaced in his heart.
Baihao Yixin casually walked in front of him while looking around and said, “Ever since I reincarnated, I’ve run into all kinds of problems, making This Emperor feel quite annoyed. Those fellows thought that just because This Emperor reincarnated, they can bully This Emperor as they wish. What they don’t know is that becoming a Great Emperor is not just dependent on one’s cultivating talent.”
Baihao Yixin put his hands on the table and leaned forwards as he looked at Feng Kule.
His eyes were filled with a sense of invasiveness and revealed his self-confidence.
“If you serve This Emperor, This Emperor will help you obtain anything you want. You will even be able to step on those two Tribulation Executives who looked down on you.”
Feng Kule’s heartrate sped up, but he did not act rashly.
He asked in a low voice, “Why should I trust you?”
Great Emperor Heartless had reincarnated for decades, but he had done very poorly for himself and had almost become a laughingstock; he could not help but be wary.
Baihao Yixin smirked and said, “This Emperor left behind a divine weapon and an army.”
Feng Kule’s eyes widened; could it be that Great Emperor Heartless had been planning for something 90,000 years ago?
“Liu Wuji’s fleshly body has revived; if you don’t rely on This Emperor, you’ll be dead beyond a doubt,” Baihao Yixin said smilingly. His words caused Feng Kule’s expression to greatly change.
“Do you know who Liu Wuji is? In case you don’t know, This Emperor will tell you—when he was still in the mortal realm, his cultivation was at a height that no other being could reach, and he was called the strongest in the human race. Even after ascending, he made great waves in the Upper Realm.”
Liu Wuji!
Feng Kule knew of that legend, and he was so scared that his face became pale, and he tried to calm himself.
At the same time, a trace of ambition grew in his heart.
This was his opportunity!
He closed his book and stood up as he asked, “Great Emperor, what do you need me to do for you?”
Baihao Yixin loudly laughed, feeling incredibly pleased.
Feng Kule held back his excitement and waited for instructions.
Baihao Yixin rubbed his hands together as he chuckled and said, “This Emperor needs you to do many things. But first, which single women in the mortal realm are the most beautiful?”
Feng Kule’s eyes widened, and he almost cursed out.
The pa.s.sion in his heart immediately dissipated and he felt incredibly unimpressed.
