Chapter 1326: Chapter 785 Villains at Work

"Bastard... Bastard!"

After leaving Heavenly Tower Mountain, Qi Xian cautiously held the Emperor’s Statue, still full of indignation despite having left Kaiyuan Prefecture.

He put aside his inner barrier and personally visited Lingxu Mountain, appealing emotionally and rationally from start to finish, giving ample face to this up-and-coming talent.

Where did the other party get the confidence to be so arrogant, even refusing to restrain himself in front of the Emperor?

"Please rest assured, Emperor, I will go find Li Shan and definitely teach this arrogant boy a lesson!"

"..."

The clay statue’s expression remained unchanged, only a gleam in the eyes revealed a hint of amusement, and the voice was still gentle: "With your skills, you can’t teach him a lesson, but if things continue this way, he’s bound to suffer some setbacks."

As one of the controllers of heaven and earth, Emperor Dongji, just based on Shen Yi’s final actions, had already glimpsed some of his original intentions.

Moving the Emperor’s Statue signifies that this young man has not yet recognized the essence of the Immortal Emperor, believing the Lord of Heaven and Earth to be above all, even disregarding the great sect behind him.

To put it bluntly, this child has a rebellious heart.

The two sects are pushing for a great calamity, selecting an Immortal Emperor to replace the Human Emperor for the sake of stability and longevity. How could they let such a being similar to the Human Emperor sit on the final throne?

"He will return."

Emperor Dongji had already understood this person’s life. After struggling to stand out, finally unleashing his accumulated resentment, feeling somewhat arrogant is quite normal.

What the Human Emperor holds is the entire Human World, already far beyond the level of the Six Emperors, even making the Sect Hierarch envious.

Now such a colossal existence has fallen.

Even an Emperor must seize this opportunity to gain as much advantage as possible, to reconsider the hierarchy after the calamity.

Therefore, Emperor Dongji is willing to give this promising young man who hopes to control the North Continent another chance.

"Disciple respectfully sees off the Emperor."

Qi Xian felt the temperature on the clay statue recede and hurriedly bowed in the air.

Once he stood up again, his expression changed quickly. The Emperor had already reached the pinnacle, of course, no need to rush, but how long could he delay?

After all, as long as they can ensure enough incense for the East Pole Emperor’s Mansion, who becomes the Lord of Heaven and Earth is of no concern to this Emperor.

Qi Xian didn’t want to become another True Master Yun Miao.

"I must go find Li Shan to discuss, see if we can seize any opportunity."

Just as he was about to step forward, countless streams of light swept down from the sky, one quickly falling into Qi Xian’s hand, transforming into a Jade Slip.

He furrowed his brows slightly, a bit puzzled.

This was clearly a proclamation from many Golden Immortals together, seeing the number, seemingly having the stance of encompassing all Third Grade sect members, quite a daunting array.

"What’s happening?"

Qi Xian grasped the Jade Slip, infusing his Divine Soul into it. Moments later, his expression changed slightly, seemingly shocked by the content of the Jade Slip, but soon, joy appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man.

Isn’t this the opportunity!

...

Kaiyuan Prefecture, Heavenly Tower Mountain.

Shen Yi silently watched the Emperor’s Statue leave, stood in silence for a long time, and then turned back into the Immortal Temple.

Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, not only the likes of Southern Emperor, such a free Wild Demon, but even the White Deer brothers, who were more familiar with the Immortal Sect, were apprehensive, still immersed in the Emperor’s majesty.

Though in heaven and earth Yuqing Sect Master and Present Buddha are revered, below are the other two sect leaders and Buddha, and further down are the Five Directions Emperor and various True Buddha.

It sounds like three levels, with the Emperor ranking at the bottom.

But don’t forget, those who rank First in the world are only these seventeen people, representing the source of myriad Great Skills.

Their status has already surpassed the heavens above.

That his master dared to move the statue from the altar... this is truly a daring act.

Several Town Stones trembled in fear.

Shen Yi didn’t seem as composed as he appeared. If one were genuinely bestowed cultivation by the Heavenly Dao as a Daluo Golden Immortal, there wouldn’t be such fear of the Emperor. In any case, one’s life could be preserved.

Unfortunately, he lacked this condition.

But regardless, he must refuse the Emperor’s invitation, forcing himself to forge ahead.

The reason is simple.

Shen Yi never intended to take the Immortal Emperor’s throne. The reason he remains in the calamity is knowing the Human Emperor has hidden measures, ready to clash fiercely against the two sects.

That man’s idea is to wait until the two sects completely suppress the Four Continents, and as they begin to fight over unequal distribution leading to heavy losses, then make a move.

The things Shen Yi wants to accomplish aren’t many. He just feels that if the great sects are to fight, it shouldn’t necessarily be at the expense of the lives of the Four Continents’ populace; perhaps there’s another way.

For this reason, he chose to join the lesser-known Lingxu Cave.

If he were to bow to Emperor Dongji today, Shen Yi couldn’t even think of how he could continue to muddle along under this First Rank Giant.

If he were to follow the path arranged by the other party, wouldn’t his hard work over this period genuinely turn into competing for the Immortal Emperor’s throne?

Exerting all efforts to become a loyal dog led by the two sects, then he might as well find some tofu and knock himself to death.

"Phew."

Shen Yi casually sat on the altar, rubbing the statue beside him.

The situation in the North Continent now is almost progressing entirely according to his plans. The people aren’t great, but at least they aren’t suffering to death, with a semblance of human likeness.

But this seems to be the limit.

Clad in the guise of a disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, all his unusual actions can be explained as internal competition, ultimately to compete for incense, so those Golden Immortals won’t find it strange.
