Next Chapter (Teaser) ›

The Azure Emperor’s official residence, Divine Farmer City:

“Gu Hai did not go out over the past few days?” the Azure Emperor asked.

“Yes. Not only did he not go out, but he also rejected all visitors. He claimed to be meditating on the Classic of Changes and cannot be interrupted.” Dan Wang nodded.

“What about the others?” the Azure Emperor asked.

“Sima Changkong is already crippled and is in recovery. Long Aotian, Long Sanqian, Ao Shun, Ensnaring Performance, Mu Chenfeng, and the others did not come out at all. They are all guarding Gu Hai in the Qian Nation’s residence,” Seven Kills said.

“Oh? Things are that quiet?” The Azure Emperor frowned slightly.

“The White Emperor went and got snubbed, failing to meet Gu Hai,” Dan Wang said.

“Humph! She did not meet him? That’s good,” the Azure Emperor said with a cold smile.

“Imperial Lord, I heard that His Holy Eminence is still in meditation? Can Gu Hai’s Classic of Changes really overthrow the Lianshan Classic?” Dan Wang asked out of curiosity.

“I don’t know. Gu Hai’s Classic of Changes seems very imposing. Perhaps His Holy Eminence is somewhat tempted,” the Azure Emperor said while frowning.

“An alliance between the Qian Nation and the Yan Nation? I wonder if that would be a blessing or a disaster,” Dan Wang sighed.

The Azure Emperor frowned, finding the future unpredictable.

As everyone chatted, a voice suddenly came from outside the palace hall. “Reporting to Imperial Lord!”

“Huh?” The Azure Emperor turned his head and looked. He saw a servant enter.

“Reporting to Imperial Lord, a black-robed man outside the residence is asking for an audience with Imperial Lord!” that servant said respectfully.

“Oh? Black-robed man? Who?” the Azure Emperor asked, feeling suspicious.

Given the Azure Emperor’s status, not just anyone could meet him. Furthermore, the servants would not report about just anyone, either.

“This servant does not know. He only gave me a small box. This servant took a look and found…” That servant handed a small box to the Azure Emperor.

The Azure Emperor opened the box and found five medallions in it.

The Azure Emperor’s pupils suddenly constricted.

“This is…,” Dan Wang said in surprise.

“The Black Emperor? These are the deployment medallions that the Black Emperor gave out,” Seven Kills said in shock.

“The Black Emperor’s medallions? The Black Emperor rebelled and died already, right? Are his medallions still of any use?” Dan Wang said in shock.

“It is of use. We five emperors used to have our own imperial dynasties. Later on, we joined the Yan Heavenly Dynasty. However, our subordinates have remained loyal to us. The White Emperor managed to return after reincarnating. Although the Black Emperor is dead, he said he would return before dying. His old subordinates are definitely still waiting for him.” The Azure Emperor raised his eyebrows.

“Then, these medallions…,” Dang Wang said in shock.

“When the Black Emperor died, his medallions vanished. We brought Purple Subtlety and Longevity back not just for their abilities but also to use them to find these medallions. With these, we could use the Black Emperor’s old subordinates. However, those two good-for-nothings do not know anything. Not a single thing at all,” the Azure Emperor said sullenly.

“Purple Subtlety and Longevity? Imperial Lord, where are they now?” Seven Kills asked, feeling curious.

“Them? I had them tossed in the east sea. They should still be millions of kilometers away now,” the Azure Emperor said.

“Then, these medallions?” Seven Kills exclaimed.

The Azure Emperor took out all of the medallions and carefully examined them. “They are real. There’s no mistake!”

“What about that black-robed man?” Seven Kills immediately asked.

“This servant brought him to the side hall,” that servant said respectfully.

“Bring him over!” the Azure Emperor said.

“Yes!”

That servant quickly went to invite the black-robed man over while the Azure Emperor and the others marveled at the five black medallions.

“Imperial Lord, the Black Emperor’s medallions can be used to command the Black Emperor’s old subordinates? Adding them to Imperial Lord’s subordinates, wouldn’t that mean that Imperial Lord has the manpower of two factions?” Seven Kills said in pleasant surprise.

The Azure Emperor nodded. However, he still harbored suspicions about the origins of these medallions. Who is the black-robed man?

As everyone waited, that servant led the black-robed man into the palace hall.

The Azure Emperor carefully examined that black-robed man, who appeared ordinary.

The black-robed man had a Golden Core Realm cultivator’s aura; his strength was simply not worth mentioning. However, the Azure Emperor had to take this person seriously, as he had brought the black medallions.

“Ah!” Seven Kills suddenly let out a startled cry in fright.

When the black-robed man approached, his appearance had given Seven Kills a scare. His face was covered in pustules, a very disgusting sight. With all those pustules, his original appearance was indiscernible.

“Who are you? Why are you not bowing when meeting the Azure Emperor?!” Dan Wang glared.

“Bow? None of you are worthy of my bow!” The black-robed man sounded hoarse, as though his vocal cords were broken.

“How insolent!” Dan Wang glared.

However, the Azure Emperor raised his hand, stopping Dan Wang.

“Who are you?” the Azure Emperor asked.

“Azure Emperor, you recognize those five medallions, right?” the black-robed man said.

“The Black Emperor sent you?” the Azure Emperor said.

“The Black Emperor? He is not qualified. Those are just five stepping stones. That’s all,” the black-robed man said indifferently.

“Oh?” The Azure Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

Who is this person? To think that he dares to take such a tone when he is only in the Golden Core Realm. Yet, he could take out these five medallions?

“Random rabble should leave first. It is better that they not know certain things,” the black-robed man said indifferently.

“You!” Seven Kills glared.

“They are all my trusted men. You can say whatever you have to say in front of them,” the Azure Emperor said.

The black-robed man looked at the Azure Emperor. “Can they listen in on a discussion about killing Jiang Lianshan?”

“Huh?” The Azure Emperor glared as he radiated a murderous intent from his eyes.

Seven Kills, Dan Wang, and the others gaped. Who is this person? How bold of him!

An intense murderous intent pressed the black-robed man.

The black-robed man immediately moved back, unable to withstand the pressure.

“Who are you?” the Azure Emperor demanded coldly.

“Azure Emperor, I advise you not to act rashly. Otherwise, I will go to the White Emperor or the Scarlet Emperor instead,” the black-robed man said, unyielding.

“We ask again. Who are you?” the Azure Emperor said coldly.

“Who I am is not important. The one who is important is the person behind me. He wants to make a deal with the Azure Emperor,” the black-robed man said indifferently.

“Oh? The person behind you? Who is it, and what is this deal?” The Azure Emperor scattered his murderous intent while still showing a cold expression.

After all, this Golden Core Realm cultivator was definitely just a puppet.

The black-robed man glanced at the rest.

“Speak. There’s no need to be concerned about them,” the Azure Emperor said.

The black-robed man nodded. “That’s fine. Since you want to let them listen, it’s not my problem. I won’t beat about the bush. The person behind me will help you establish a heavenly dynasty in exchange for preventing an alliance between the Qian Nation and the Yan Nation.”

“Huh?” The Azure Emperor narrowed his eyes.

The people behind the Azure Emperor did not dare say anything.

“Prevent an alliance between the Qian Nation and the Yan Nation? Haha! Why? How can the Qian Nation and the Yan Nation possibly be in alliance?” the Azure Emperor asked coldly.

“Why can’t they? Isn’t Jiang Lianshan already tempted?” the black-robed man retorted indifferently.

“You know quite a bit. However, what makes you so sure that the Qian Nation and the Yan Nation will ally. Because of Gu Hai’s Classic of Changes?” the Azure Emperor said coldly.

“Classic of Changes? Do you really think that Gu Hai wrote it?” the black-robed man said indifferently.

“Huh? What do you mean?” the Azure Emperor said.

“Do you really think that Gu Hai can write a Classic of Changes? Do you also think that Gu Hai wrote the Classic of the Dao and Virtue? A person under one hundred can have such a breadth of knowledge and experience to write these?” the black-robed man said indifferently.

“Gu Hai wrote the Classic of the Dao and Virtue during the Ten Thousand Sages Convention. He—” Suddenly, the Azure Emperor paused as though realizing something.

“The Ten Thousand Sages Convention was just a show put on by Long Zhanguo. Gu Hai is just Long Zhanguo’s puppet! It was the first time the Classic of the Dao and Virtue appeared. However, that is only the case in this world. It might not be the case in another immortal firmament,” the black-robed man said indifferently.

“Huh? Are you saying that Gu Hai’s Classic of the Dao and Virtue came from Long Zhanguo’s Warring Nation Immortal Firmament? Long Zhanguo gave it to him intentionally?” The Azure Emperor narrowed his eyes.

“What else can it be?” the black-robed man said.

“However, why would Long Zhanguo do that?” the Azure Emperor said with confusion on his face.

“Let’s not mention that first. Jiang Lianshan’s Lianshan Classic has the Gen Hexagram as the leading hexagram. Why is that?” the black-robed man countered indifferently.

“Huh?”

“The Lianshan Classic means a classic of connected mountains. Gen symbolizes the mountain. Jiang Lianshan’s cultivation foundation is the mountain. Naturally, he would have the Gen Hexagram be the first. Gu Hai established the Han Royal Dynasty, with water reigning supreme. The Kan Hexagram represents water. If it were Gu Hai’s Classic of Changes, why isn’t the leading hexagram the Kan Hexagram?” the black-robed man continued.

[TL Note: The Han in the Han Royal Dynasty means vastness or ocean.]

The Azure Emperor’s expression changed. “The Qian Hexagram is the leading hexagram of the Classic of Changes. The Qian Hexagram? The Qian Heavenly Dynasty, Long Zhanguo? The Classic of Changes that Gu Hai wrote is Long Zhanguo’s work?”

Everyone showed a shocked expression.

Before this, no one would have noticed it. However, the black-robed man’s words seemed to explain everything.

“Did you think that you could have killed Gu Hai that day? Haha! Gu Hai was just using you to speak to Jiang Lianshan,” the black-robed man said indifferently.

“Why couldn’t we have killed Gu Hai? Could it be—” The Azure Emperor stopped in mid-sentence. His pupils suddenly constricted.

“You finally guessed it?” The black-robed man looked at the Azure Emperor.

The Azure Emperor’s face sank. “Tell me, is there a strand of Long Zhanguo’s consciousness with Gu Hai? Is that why he could tell Gu Hai what to write?”

“A strand of consciousness? Hah! You underestimate how determined Long Zhanguo is to ally with the Yan Nation. It is not just a strand of consciousness. Long Zhanguo has a projection with Gu Hai. If you had pushed him too hard, Long Zhanguo’s projection would have appeared and killed you. Do you believe that?” the black-robed man said.

“That’s impossible!” The Azure Emperor glared.

“Impossible? If not for Long Zhanguo’s projection, do you think they could have barged into Heaven City, captured the Supreme Genesis’s two sons, and still left safely?” the black-robed man said indifferently.

The Azure Emperor suddenly fell silent. Indeed, he had previously found it strange that the Supreme Genesis had become so agreeable. Gu Hai barging into Heaven City and causing a great upheaval should have been impossible.

If Long Zhanguo’s projection was there, then everything would make sense.

“Did you think that Jiang Lianshan was giving face to an insignificant person like Gu Hai, preventing you from killing him? It’s because he saw Long Zhanguo,” the black-clad man continued.

Everyone’s face sank.

“It makes sense that Long Zhanguo wrote the Classic of Changes. However, who are you? Why do you have the Black Emperor’s medallions? Also, why do you want to stop the Qian Nation and the Yan Nation from allying? Who is behind you?” the Azure Emperor asked coldly.

“Who do you think?” the black-robed man countered with a faint smile.

“Is the Eastern Monarch, the Supreme Singularity, behind you?” the Azure Emperor asked coldly.

“Him? He is not worthy!” the black-robed man retorted indifferently.

The Azure Emperor’s pupils constricted. The Eastern Monarch, the Supreme Singularity, is no less significant than Long Zhanguo or Jiang Lianshan; he is one of the strongest few in the world. Nevertheless, this black-robed man said that of the Eastern Monarch, the Supreme Singularity? However, who else would not be willing to let the Qian Nation and the Yan Nation ally?

“It is…” The Azure Emperor thought of a possibility but could not bring himself to believe it.

“I’m Heaven’s envoy!” the black-robed man said.

“Heaven? The Six Paths Immortal?” The expressions of everyone in the palace hall changed.
