In the end, Jiang Ming and Mountain Master Tian Yuan left.
Great Monarch Wan Lian opened his mouth and finally let out a long sigh. He was feeling somewhat disappointed. “The mortals often say that if you treat people with sincerity, people will treat you back with sincerity as well. If you are insincere, how do you expect people to treat you well?”
“What Jiang Ming and Mountain Master Tian Yuan said just now is true. We have been silent for far too long. We’ve long lost our fighting spirit and our motivation to improve. In fact, we no longer even dare to stand out in front of others!”
“What was the purpose of you wanting to invite Jiang Ming to be the Human Emperor? Did you really want him to be the Human Emperor? No! You just wanted him to stand in front of the stage and block off everything from the outside world. All so that you can continue hiding in a dark corner, a place where you feel you can charge forward or retreat as you wish to!”
“Yet, how many fools would there be in this world? Jiang Ming was only testing the waters with us. Yet, you’ve revealed the ugly side of you, Qing Yun!”
“From now on, there’s really no turning back!”
“Alas! The Hall of Human Emperor. Since it has remained coveted for such a long time, it might be better off to allow it to truly become a part of our history, a legend!”
“As long as Jiang Ming is around, even if he doesn’t take the initiative to do anything, our human race will still gradually straighten our spine because of him!”
“Guys…I won’t be going back to the Hall of Human Emperor anymore!”
Great Monarch Wan Lian’s body radiated light and soon enough, reached the other side. He was somewhat perplexed, yet inexplicably relaxed at the same time.
Immortal Venerate Qing Yun opened his mouth and smiled bitterly. He looked at Immortal Venerate Tai Xu and asked, “Are we really wrong?”
“Whether we’re right or wrong, it doesn’t matter anymore. Does it?” Immortal Venerate Tai Xu’s voice became extremely ethereal. “Qing Yun, haven’t you realized it yet? Whether Jiang Ming admits to it or not, he has already stepped up onto the stage. He is already standing at the pinnacle, placing himself at the center of the storm. He has already become the idol to the hundreds and billions of our human race. It no longer matters whether he chooses to follow the flow of civilization or actively participate in the dispute. He will no longer be at peace!”
“He has already stepped forward! Didn’t he? To be or not to be the Human Emperor, is there still any meaning to it?”
“Alas! The Hall of Human Emperor! Since it has remained coveted for such a long time, let’s just allow it to sink into the depths and become the heritage to our human race. We’ll consider it as a precaution if anything happens!”
“That’s also the reason why I didn’t dissuade you just now, knowing that you would anger the two! Our goal has not failed!”
Immortal Venerate Tai Xu saw the matter from another perspective.
“That’s right!” Immortal Venerate Qing Yun nodded suddenly, and then sighed, “Now that you mention it, this makes me even more stupid!”
“Do you care?”
“Do I care? Haha!”
At a distance far away, Mountain Master Tian Yuan smiled as he asked Jiang Ming, “Are you still angry?”
“I’m actually quite angry!” Jiang Ming said helplessly, “It didn’t matter whether I become a Human Emperor or if they show up. In fact, their goals can be achieved easily!”
“As expected of my brother, you’ve seen through such levels!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan nodded in relief. “Through the several great battles, you have really gained a firm foothold in the Heavenly Realm. Unless the Lord Buddha, Dragon Monarch and the likes join forces, they might only dare to make a move on you. Even so, they would be extremely cautious as well.”
“In this current time, you’ve become the strongest existence of our human race. You are the idol now, the legend, the myth!”
“Whatever the case is, you are already standing at the frontmost! Also, it won’t matter if you want it or not. You’d directly or indirectly influence many things in the future! Haha brother! You wanted to enjoy tranquility, yet you were so high-profiled when doing things. Let’s see how you’ll be able to enjoy tranquility in the future!”
Mountain Master Tian Yuan couldn’t help gloating.
“Big brother!” Jiang Ming muttered softly, “You are also a member of the Tianyuan Realm. If something happens, you must be the first one to charge forth!”
Mountain Master Tian Yuan’s breath suddenly stagnated as he said, “We must always respect the old!”
“And care for the young!” Jiang Ming retorted.
“You Jiang Ming! You must have schemed against me a long time ago!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan was furious.
“Hehe! You’ve boarded the same pirate ship as I’m on. It’s difficult to disembark now!” Jiang Ming laughed.
“It’s really a pirate ship!” Mountain Master Tian yuan shook his head helplessly.
“Big brother, why did you have to completely sever your relationship just now?”
“I don’t want to be entangled in these trivial problems in the future! Even Great Monarch Wan Lian, who seemed to be annoyed and left, had also come to the same conclusion. Even Immortal Venerate Tai Xu saw through what happened. That was why he didn’t intervene at all. In the Hall of Human Emperor, there’s inevitably some peerless experts who are prideful, hiding in seclusion. If they heard about you not recognizing what’s good for you, there’s bound to be some among them that would go to the extreme. If such a time comes, I’ll be able to directly suppress the problem, without needing to scruple!”
“As the saying goes, an old man in the family is akin to a treasure! It’s really true!”
“Music to my ears!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan stroked his beard. He suddenly became serious and said, “Now that Tai Wuji has emerged, he will definitely cause trouble for us. Are you going to kill him?”
“Of course!”
“Alright then! Let’s take the initiative to attack. Find a chance to kill him entirely. We’ll then uproot Taishang Sword Sect after. Since they are the enemy, it’s better to not leave any behind. Wait till you step into the Saint Lord Realm, we’ll even kill the sect’s Saint Lord as well!”
“Big brother, you really dare to say such things!”
“It’s not that I dare to say so, but that I believe in you!”
“Alright then! In order to be worthy of your trust, big brother, I will have to reluctantly sanctify my Dao quickly.”
“Now that’s the right way to do it!”
The two chatted and laughed together.
As for the return of the Saint Lord of the Taishang Sword Sect? The both of them didn’t take it seriously at all.
If he were to return, they would just flee into the Chaos.
If they couldn’t escape, then it would just be death that awaits them. What was the big deal?
As time went by, numerous experts gradually arrived at the scene.
Among them were the Dragon Monarch, Heavenly Buddha, Vermillion Bird and many others.
One after another, the auras that shot through heavens had caused the time-space torrents outside of the domain to tremble non-stop. The vibration even created a million mile distance of area with pure vacuum.
The ground beneath their feet was seeming unable to withstand the gathering of so many peerless beings.
“Good gracious! There’s so many Venerate?” With just a glance, Jiang Ming could see that there were already more than a hundred people already.
However, it was clear that this was far from the limit.
Take the Dragon Clan for example, there were three Venerates that had arrived. And there were at least another three who didn’t come.
As for the rest of the ten great ancient races, how many Venerates would they have?
“The Heavenly Realm is way too vast, hidden with many peerless beings. Even I myself don’t know how many of these terrifying existences are hidden in the world!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan lamented and continued, “Take the Great Demon Venerate for example, who would’ve thought that he actually had twelve Venerates hidden under him. If it weren’t for the Heavenly Emperor, with the resources from the Abyss, even the Fo Sect could’ve been overturned!”
Jiang Ming nodded in agreement.
In fact, the Great Demon Venerate’s plans were already quite remarkable.
If he was in the Tiancang Great Chiliocosm, he could’ve fiddled the Heavenly Emperor Cang Xuan to death easily. It was unfortunate that he stumbled upon such a terrifying existence like Tai Yuan.
Looking across the vast world, Jiang Ming was afraid that other than himself, there was no one else who knew that the one that had died was merely an avatar, an avatar among three others.
Even Jiang Ming himself felt his scalp tingle from time to time thinking of this.
When everyone could no longer feel that there were other Venerates coming through the torrent of time and space, Yu Fei came out of the crowd.
Clad in a wide-sleeved immortal skirt with her blushed face and bare-footed, every sway of her body seemed to be able to evoke the “Law of Temptation”. Even the Venerates could feel their hearts trembling slightly.
Such beauty! Such deliciousness!
As everyone looked over at her, they could see different temperaments from her appearance that fit a perfect image of her deep in their subconscious.
She was like a beauty incarnate.
“Everyone, according to the Heavenly Emperor’s decree, the throne of the Heavenly Emperor belongs to whoever kills the Great Demon Venerate!” Yu Fei glanced around with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Her tone of voice was tactful and didn’t seem forceful at all, making the others feeling itchy at heart, “The Great Demon Venerate has fallen in my hands. Heavenly Buddha, Dragon Monarch and Vermillion Bird can attest to that! I will now take up the position as the Heavenly Emperor. Who concurs and who opposes it?”
After hearing so much of what she had to say, Jiang Ming’s face couldn’t help revealing a little bit of astonishment.
That was just too direct! Wasn’t it?
However, with the alluring charm of Yu Fei, speaking directly like that was conversely even more charming.
“This woman! If placed on the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Heart Bed, it would be enough to…”
A strange thought flashed through Jiang Ming’s mind.
He then looked over at Chong Shan.
It seemed that a great show was about to start soon.
