611: Chapter 200_5 611: Chapter 200_5 They knew that only after becoming an Earth Immortal could one reincarnate.
However, even among those with the ability to reincarnate, there must be varying levels of strength.
Peak Master Cao might be one of those top-tier reincarnated beings!
High upon the mountain, Li Ke had no idea whether or not others believed Cao Zhen’s words, but she certainly did not.
Her thoughts stirred and she directly transmitted her voice to Cao Zhen, asking, “How exactly did you do it?
How did you manage to see through all of his Divine Skills?”
“Even if you had shared with Long Aotian all the Divine Skills previously used by Star Lord Hao Yue, Long Aotian could have broken those.
But how did you break the Divine Skills that Star Lord Hao Yue used today?”
Upon hearing Li Ke’s words, without even thinking, Cao Zhen immediately replied, “It’s simple, because Long Aotian was indeed there just now!”
“Long Aotian was there?” Li Ke suddenly recalled the sound of Long Aotian’s voice echoing from her mind and frowned.
Every time Long Aotian sought her out, the duration was short, definitely not long enough to sustain an entire battle, and many times Long Aotian had stated that his time was limited before hastily taking his leave.
But why then could Long Aotian appear in Cao Zhen’s mind for such a long period?
Had Long Aotian previously deceived her?
But with Long Aotian’s cultivation base and capability, he had no need to deceive her.
Therefore, there was only one other possibility: Cao Zhen was in fact Long Aotian’s true successor.
Cao Zhen must have practiced Long Aotian’s techniques, which allowed Long Aotian to exist in his mind for a longer period.
That must also be why Cao Zhen, initially suppressed by Star Lord Hao Yue, eventually turned the tables and suppressed him instead.
It must be because Long Aotian had not shown up at first, so Cao Zhen was being suppressed.
After Long Aotian appeared, that was when Cao Zhen successfully overcame Star Lord Hao Yue.
Just as everyone was astonished that Cao Zhen could see through others’ Divine Skills.
A voice suddenly emanated from the high platform, the voice of the Emperor: “Good, very good.
I hereby announce that the winner of this Immortal Struggle Championship is Cao Zhen of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Cao Zhen shall be appointed as the State Preceptor of our Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
In addition, from the Hundred Peaks Sect, Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, Xiang Ziyu, Bei Yan, Li Ke, Liè Yàn, from the Thousand Caves Door Hao Yue, from Divine Dao Sect Zong Wuji, from the Sword Sect Wu Jianzi, disciples of Old Man Zhi Ran, Freely Child—be the ten Immortal Generals of our Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty!”
As his voice subsided, a chorus of cheers erupted from the direction of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
“Six Immortal Generals!”
“Mighty is the Hundred Peaks Sect!”
They cared about the position of State Preceptor and the six Immortal Generals, but their cheers weren’t merely for the honor of these positions; they were rejoicing because the Hundred Peaks Sect had triumphed over the other Immortal Sects in this championship—they cheered for the glory that brought!
Amidst the clamor of the crowd.
The Emperor’s voice rose again: “As I have ascended the throne, the time has come to appoint an Empress.
I have decided to marry the daughter of General Fang in five days and to establish her as my Empress.
Since you all are in the Capital City, there is no need to hurry away.
I hope everyone will attend my royal wedding in five days.”
Above the mountain, the crowd paused, startled by the Emperor’s proclamation.
Why such haste for a royal wedding?
There had been no prior whisper of it.
Additionally, the Grand Preceptor had always disliked the Immortal Sects, and the Emperor had always treated the Grand Preceptor as his mentor.
Why then invite all of them to stay for the wedding?
Soon, the Emperor’s voice came again, dispelling their doubts.
“Of course, should any of you have urgent matters and must leave, I would not force you to stay against your will.
Nonetheless, it is a day of great joy for me, as well as the day I appoint my Empress.
The Empress is not just my wife but the Empress of the entire Dynasty.
Thus, at that time, I hope all the Immortal Sects will present congratulatory gifts.
I have heard that the Immortal Sects have plenty of medicinal ingredients, and I would be pleased to receive some as gifts.”
At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded!
Was the Emperor shamelessly asking for gifts?
And specifically requesting medicinal ingredients, Spiritual Medicine, no less?
Is this something an Emperor should say?
Was this the Emperor or a bandit?
Before his coronation, even though the Emperor had not yet ascended the throne, he had already been in control of the entire country.
They did not hold the Emperor—who was only mortal—in any heartfelt esteem.
But being within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, and with the Grand Preceptor’s formidable presence, they had naturally sought to understand the Emperor.
They also knew that the Emperor was in all respects a wise ruler.
And now, this wise ruler, upon his ascension, had resorted to such bandit-like actions.
The crowd waited until they left and returned to the Immortal Reception House, unable to comprehend the Emperor’s actions, yet they speculated.
It didn’t take long for them to think they had figured it out.
“It must be because of the Grand Preceptor.
The Grand Preceptor must be close to entering his slumber, so they are preparing to make a great profit before the Grand Preceptor’s sleep,” they reasoned.
“But by doing this, aren’t they afraid of offending us?”
“Have they not offended many before?
The Emperor shamelessly requesting items must be preparation for after the Grand Preceptor’s slumber!”
“As for the gifts…” This update is available on NoveIꜰire.net
“The congratulatory gifts must be given.
After all, the Grand Preceptor is still present, and no one knows how long it will be before he enters his slumber.”
