Master of the Demon Emperor

Faced with Su Yie's question, the white-haired old Daoist chuckled and said, "I am Qing Jushi. I have long heard of the Demon Emperor's might and tyranny, exceptional talent, and today, upon meeting you, I see it is indeed well-deserved." Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

Qing Jushi?

Su Yie frowned, wondering if one could even encounter advances in the Endless Ocean.

Seeing Su Yie's vigilant silence, Qing Jushi lifted his horsetail whisk and smiled as he asked, "Is the Demon Emperor perhaps heading to the Hai Chuan Alliance?"

Su Yie looked at Qing Jushi coldly. The man did not fear either the Great Dragon Emperor or his Demon Qi, which meant he certainly had some ulterior motive; Su Yie didn't bother to beat around the bush with him.

"Yin—"

Suddenly, the Great Dragon Emperor opened its mouth and roared at Qing Jushi furiously. The dragon's chant created rolling sound waves and stirred up the sea of clouds, causing the fierce wind to whip Qing Jushi's white hair wildly.

Qing Jushi did not appear embarrassed and still wore an enthusiastic smile, reassuringly saying, "Demon Emperor, please be at ease, I have no ill intentions in seeking you out."

Su Yie remained silent, just staring at him.

Qing Jushi's face began to show signs of embarrassment, and he sighed, saying, "I'll get straight to the point then. Demon Emperor, I believe you are qualified to enter the Imperial Sea Palace! I have a favor to ask, and I assure you it will not be to your disadvantage!"

The Imperial Sea Palace?

Su Yie raised an eyebrow. He had heard of the Imperial Sea Palace. It was said that the top three in the ranking battle of the various sea realm forces were allowed into the Imperial Sea Palace to seek opportunities for half a year, similar to the Realm of the National Treasures. However, compared to the Realm of the National Treasures, the Imperial Sea Palace held greater value.

It was rumored that in ancient times, an emperor as mighty as an Immortal God dominated the Ancient Wilderness and left behind a palace in the Endless Ocean. Within it lay a Little World, unlike the Realm of the National Treasures; its Little World was larger, the rules more complete, filled with numerous fierce beasts. Not only were there Treasures of Luck, but also various Cultivation Techniques, Divine Skills, and even a vast amount of Spirit Stone resources.

The most precious was the emperor's inheritance.

Over countless years, only a few had obtained it, and they were all earth-shattering figures.

Su Yie had already received the Primordial Yellow Dragon Emperor's inheritance and had made contact with the ancient emperors, knowing their power, so he was also plotting his chances with the Imperial Sea Palace.

However, achieving a top-three position in the ranking battle of the forces was incredibly difficult, wasn't it?

Moreover, this time he could only rely on himself; using any external help would disqualify him from the competition.

Seeing Su Yie's continued silence, Qing Jushi became anxious and continued, "As long as you help me find a Secret Treasure inside the Imperial Sea Palace, I will reveal to you the location of a Holy Artifact. With the Holy Artifact, joining the ranks of the immortals will be no difficult task."

A Holy Artifact!

Su Yie narrowed his eyes as if pondering, though in reality, he felt perplexed.

What is a Holy Artifact?

"A Holy Artifact, it is said, can be used to prove the Tao; to prove the Tao is to become an Immortal God. With the help of the Holy Artifact's power, one can obtain the merits of heaven and earth and Ascend to Immortality," Feng Long introduced to Su Yie, its tone filled with fervor.

If Su Yie could prove the Tao, it would be as if a chicken had ascended to heaven alongside a dog.

Feng Long had served many Sword Masters before, but it had yet to prove the Tao itself.

Su Yie was enlightened and asked Qing Jushi, "Holy Artifacts must be hard to come by. I don't believe there's anything more precious than the Path of Testimony in the Imperial Sea Palace."

Qing Jushi feigned a cough, stood up straight with his chest puffed out, and proudly said, "To be honest, I have proved the Tao before, it's just that I'm cultivating again in a new life."

Su Yie rolled his eyes, muttering, "Let's go."

The Great Dragon Emperor immediately turned its head and soared forward.

Its thousand-foot dragon body churned the rolling clouds, unstoppable in its advance.

Seeing this, Qing Jushi became anxious and hurriedly chased after.

...

In the Eastern Polar Seas, amidst the vast ocean, there is an archipelago shaped like a crescent moon.

This is the primary stronghold of the Hai Chuan Alliance, comprising a total of forty-nine islands.

Each island is protected by a Formation, and the collective activation of these forty-nine Formations can repel all attacks.

The Hai Chuan Alliance is not a Cultivation Force, but rather an entity similar to the Commerce Alliance.

Its Alliance Hierarch is incredibly mysterious. It is said to have been well-favored by the Sea Emperor, supported by him from the beginning. Gazing across the entire Endless Ocean, the Hai Chuan Alliance is also the wealthiest force, similar in nature to the Heavenly Machine Tower. However, compared to the Heavenly Machine Tower, it is more domineering; anyone who dares to provoke it will inevitably attract swarms of powerful entities for a counterattack.

An endless stream of beings flew in and out, some even aboard Magic Ships.

Whoosh—

A huge Magic Ship, shrouded in a semi-transparent barrier, suddenly broke through the surface of the sea, majestically heading towards the Hai Chuan Alliance.

As power ranking battles approached, representatives of more and more forces hastened to arrive.

"Yin—"

A heaven-shaking dragon's roar resounded through the sky dome, causing countless creatures to turn their heads and look.

One could only see Great Dragon Emperor carrying Su Yie as he flew over.

Trailing behind Great Dragon Emperor was Qing Jushi, his face filled with a bitter smile, utterly helpless.

He had entangled Su Yie for three days and nights, but Su Yie refused to agree.

Su Yie demanded that he prove himself to be a cultivator who had achieved the Path of Testimony, yet he could not prove it, thus he became labeled a deceiver.

"What a divine and spirited Azure Dragon!"

"Nonsense! That's not an Azure Dragon, look at the dragon horns, they are clearly from an Ancient Heavenly Dragon!"

"The Azure Dragon Clan surely doesn't have such an imposing presence."

"Who is that demon? Riding upon a dragon, truly arrogant!"

"Tsk tsk, had I known, I would've also found a dragon to ride, too cool."

The creatures were all discussing animatedly, their gazes towards Su Yie filled with suspicion, mockery, envy, and even concealed murderous intent.

Soon enough, Great Dragon Emperor transformed into a human shape and followed behind Su Yie, flying towards Hai Chuan Alliance Archipelago.

"Demon Emperor, wait for me!"

Qing Jushi shouted loudly, quickly following after Su Yie.

Without turning his head, Su Yie said, "Go find someone else."

"No one believes me!"

"As if I believe you."

"But you are very strong, and you hold great promise of success!"

"Yet I do not believe you."

"What would it take for you to believe me?"

"Go die."

"..."

Seeing how relentless Qing Jushi was, Su Yie felt somewhat irritated; had they not been without grudges, he would have acted against him long ago.

Great Dragon Emperor looked back at Qing Jushi and made a mocking face, taunting, "Old scammer, go back to your dreams, still talking about the Path of Testimony—don't flatter yourself. If you're an immortal, then I'm an Immortal Ancestor!"

Qing Jushi was so angry that his face turned from pale to flushed, but still, he gritted his teeth and continued to follow.

Su Yie had once inquired within Emperor Su's Sect; no one had heard of Qing Jushi, which only increased his disbelief.

"Is the one approaching the Demon Emperor of Ten Thousand Monsters Court? The one rumored to have the Great Cang Invincible Body?"

Just at that moment, a jeering laugh came from the front.

A group of young cultivators rose from an island, and the speaker was an elegant, handsome youth in blue clothes who also held a fan, an accessory typical for showing off.

"Great Cang Invincible Body? Hahaha! That's hilarious!"

"I've heard Sheng Tianjiao has already arrived; this is going to be fun to watch."

"Don't talk nonsense, maybe he really does have the Great Cang Invincible Body. After all, I have the Zi Wei Star Body!"

"You have the Zi Wei Star Body? I am the possessor of the Undying Emperor's Body!"

"Right, and we're all bearers of Emperor Zi Wei Star's Taoist Fruits!"

The young cultivators began to mock Su Yie, even bursting into laughter.

Su Yie's eyes were flashing with cold light, while Great Dragon Emperor and Xiao Bai gritted their teeth in anger towards them.

For no good reason!

With a cold snort from Su Yie that sounded like thunder, killing intent swept over them with a cold wind, abruptly putting an end to their laughter.

The lead speaker, the youth in blue, was undaunted; he took out a long sword with a flip of his hand and sneered, "Killing you, we could seek a reward from Sheng Tianjiao!"
