Chapter 1226 - 1226 70 The Temptation of the Purple Emperors

Chapter 1226: Chapter 70 The Temptation of the Purple Emperor’s Legacy_2 Chapter 1226: Chapter 70 The Temptation of the Purple Emperor’s Legacy_2 Was it… really the Purple Emperor invading dreams?

Our cultivation had already reached the pinnacle, not needing sleep for a year, yet today, why did we suddenly dream?

In deep thought.

A message was heard, “Council!”

Instantly, the original five members gathered in one room.

“Just now, I had a dream… um, did you guys dream too?”

“Yes, I also dreamed. I dreamed about the Purple Emperor!”

“Me too!”

“Me as well!”

“I too, dreamed about the Purple Emperor discussing legacy.”

…

All five faces immediately turned solemn.

“If all five of us really dreamed this, then it must be true.”

“Our cultivation has reached such a state today that not sleeping for decades is nothing, let alone dreaming, which is even less likely. Since breaking through to the Heavenly Level, we haven’t experienced dreams in years.”

“Let alone five people having the same dream!”

“Except for a being at the pinnacle existence like Nine Colors, who could pull the five of us into a dream, no one else could possibly manage it.”

“So this matter must be true.”

The five quickly reached a consensus.

“The question now is, should we go through with it?”

The five looked at each other, seemingly consulting.

But each saw determination in the eyes of the others.

Let’s do this!

“It seems no one wants to pass up this opportunity?”

“Yes, our current situation is precarious, at any moment we could drop in rank. We might even be kicked out of the Three Mountains!”

“The loss in strength is too severe.”

“However, the legacy of the Purple Emperor could compensate for that, at least it would allow the five of us to advance greatly in a short period. Even though our cultivation might not increase, our combat power could definitely double. At our level, facing our peers from the other Three Mountains, we’re practically unbeatable.”

“If we are unbeatable, then we’re saving our base.”

“And the combat power of the upper-level disciples will also double.”

“We can compensate for the cracks in our foundation. At least breaking even is no problem!”

“With this, Supreme Mountain stands on invincible ground, preserving our place in the Three Mountains. So long as Heaven’s Path bestows luck according to the Three Mountains’ standing, with the Purple Emperor’s legacy, given a thousand years, we might even break into the two palaces!”

“At the very least, we have a fighting chance!”

“This deal is immensely beneficial, only a fool would reject it.”

“Then let’s do it!”

“Do it!”

The five clasped hands together, decisively shaking them up and down.

“Since we’ve decided, let’s seal it with a vow to Heaven’s Path. No turning back now!”

“Okay!”

Then, the five together, lit incense, knelt down, and earnestly, according to the Purple Emperor’s requirements, made their vows to Heaven’s Path.

Smiles appeared on their faces.

With determination set, the task was easier.

“Now that we’ve decided, let’s move in that direction. Next, we need to consider how to enter Zichen Lake.”

“If we expose our intentions, entities like Qing Ming would definitely not agree. It could turn into a disaster for us.”

“Let’s hurry over for now. Since people like Lord Qing Ming treat the Purple Emperor as evil, we should first see what they plan to do. Then we’ll adjust our plans.”

“Play it by ear, since this opportunity is critical, we can’t miss it.”

“Okay!”

…

The next morning.

People from Supreme Mountain immediately packed up and set off; over two hundred experts, all above Cloud Top, headed to Zichen Lake.

“The people from Supreme Mountain are also coming?”

Qing Ming was startled and even felt a bit relieved.

“In recent years, the actions of Supreme Mountain haven’t been very commendable, but now, facing a crisis of ranking and having closed their mountain, hearing of this significant event and still being able to come out with all their experts, they are indeed contributing to the continent.”

“They have not lost sight of the bigger occasion.”

Others nodded in agreement.

“Let them come in.”

Shortly after.

The five senior members of Supreme Mountain arrived together: “We pay our respects to all the great lords, elders, both palace masters, and our brothers.”

“We heard something significant happened here, and we’ve come specifically to follow the great lords’ commands. We hope to contribute our strength for the sake of the people of the world.”

Qing Ming, the grand lord, laughed heartily, extremely pleased: “I am relieved that you think this way.”

After pondering for a moment, he recounted the situation at hand, saying, “…So, this place is dangerous and still in the exploratory stage. We are not sure how to handle it.”

“Since you from Supreme Mountain have come, why not join us in defending this place together? If we combine our strategies and efforts, we can transform this continental crisis into nothingness, which would be for the best!”

“Yes. We will follow the great lord’s arrangements! We at Supreme Mountain will brave any danger and would not hesitate to face death a thousand times!”

“Good!”

The five people’s expressions were resolute: “We are willing to take responsibility for one side, please arrange as you see fit.”

At that moment,

Green Shadow, the great lord, suddenly interjected, “Which side do you wish to take responsibility for?”

Qing Ming, the grand lord, was making arrangements and, under normal circumstances, Green Shadow should not have spoken.

But she did.

Hei Yun, Lan Dan, and others all looked at her with slight surprise.

For some reason, upon seeing the people from Supreme Mountain, perhaps due to prejudice against their previous actions or maybe due to a woman’s mysterious sixth sense, Green Shadow felt something was amiss.

That’s why she asked this question.

After asking, she also felt it was slightly impolite to Qing Ming and regretted it a little.

But since she had asked, she decided to follow through with it.

“Which side can we choose?”

Upon hearing this, the people from Supreme Mountain showed a look of surprise and said, “We thought we would take whichever side you arranged for us. Any side is fine with us, but if we can choose, either the east or the north would do.”

“East side or north side?”

Green Shadow silently repeated and found no issues.

Then she backed down.

“If that’s the case, then take the northeast side.”

“Although all of you are experts, trying to manage one side alone is still not feasible, at most, you can only be responsible for half a side.”

Qing Ming laughed and said, “For now, focus on defending fully to prevent any anomalies from emerging, and also take good care of those large trees on that side. We will provide further actions as arranged.”

“Yes! We will strictly follow the great lord’s orders.”

“Furthermore, no one, for any reason, is allowed to enter Zichen Lake!”

Qing Ming’s voice was deep, filled with a warning tone.

“This is an absolute command!”

The five glanced at each other and said, “We will absolutely obey in unity! We will not overstep the bounds by even a step!”

“Good.”

After the five left, they immediately took their disciples to the northeastern corner of Zichen Lake.

Standing tall, they gazed upon the vast waters of Zichen Lake, the unceasing waves moving rhythmically back and forth.

“Moving mountains to build… this time, it’s truly a grand gesture.”

“No wonder the Purple Emperor is so pessimistic. Anyone subjected to this would truly be without hope!”

“That’s why he thought of succession.”

“But, the mysterious matters Qing Ming spoke of…”

“It may not be as it seems. Didn’t he say even they haven’t figured it out yet? Who can say what it really is? Perhaps it’s the Purple Emperor’s final strategy to save himself.”

“But with the situation as it is now, even that strategy of self-preservation likely won’t work either.”

“Moreover, mysterious… what mystery? We aren’t young either and have tens of thousands of years of experience. When have we ever heard of such things?”

“That’s also true.”

“How then shall we enter the lake?”

“Let’s find an opportunity.”

“There will always be an opportunity! For the life and death of Supreme Mountain, and the foundation of our millennium heritage, if there’s no opportunity, we must create one!”

“Exactly.”

The several people, standing atop the tallest trees and discussing through transmitted voices, gazing into the distance, felt their spirits broaden considerably.

“We at Supreme Mountain still have a chance.”

This sentence, not transmitted through voice, but spoken softly.

All five nodded slightly.

Below, a small pine tree gently swayed its top.

Somewhat puzzled.

You from Supreme Mountain are in such a state, what chance could you possibly have?
