Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1384 - 810: Emperor? When did I ever meet any Emperor?

Chapter 1384: Chapter 810: Emperor? When did I ever meet any Emperor?

The resolute words echoed among the four majestic peaks, speaking for all the disciples of the Bodhi Sect.

Master Xuanwei and Chi Yunzi exchanged glances, not feeling too surprised; this was something they had anticipated from the very beginning. However, witnessing this scene with their own eyes still brought a wave of fatigue in their gaze.

With Shen Yi’s strength, if things were to proceed normally, he would still dominate the younger generation.

Even though hiding his cultivation was somewhat inappropriate, it wasn’t that big of a deal; it merely required ceding some benefits to silence the murmurs of the monks.

After all, at the outset of the debate, most Second Grade Cultivators were resistant to the position of Immortal Emperor. Since someone was willing to take it up, and it was indeed a junior disciple with clear lineage, why not let him have it?

But the issue lay in the fact that this first disciple of the Three Immortals Sect first led the immortals to mercilessly execute actions in the East Continent, inciting the monks’ fury, and then deliberately slew many Bodhisattvas during the debate.

Each of these incidents would become layers of obstacles for him to ascend to the great position.

Moreover, he directly exposed the Immortal Oath, showing the monks the possibility of killing him.

One cannot have both fish and bear’s paw.

The thrill of revenge left resentment in the hearts of the Bodhi Sect disciples, which had now converged into a thick barrier before him that even the emperor would find hard to break through.

"It cannot be him!"

The Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva bowed again; he was a dignified Great Aspiration Bodhisattva, yet at this moment, he willingly withdrew his Tribulation Power, smashing his forehead until it was bloody and mangled.

Being a highly regarded Bodhisattva within the sect, he was almost equivalent to Master Xuanwei of the Three Immortals Sect.

His decisive stance wasn’t entirely due to inner grudges but mainly because he witnessed the decline of his Great Sect.

The Bodhi Sect, one of the rulers of heaven and earth, was actually declining due to one person; this sounded absurd, but it had already become a reality.

The actions of the Jade Void Universe True Monarch were like a great mountain, firmly pressing on the heads of the monks. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

The Bodhi Sect disciples were still standing, wholly supported by the fire of anger in their hearts; if that young man were to become the Immortal Emperor, once they bowed, they would never rise again.

More importantly, due to the Immortal Oath established by Shen Yi, they clearly saw hope and the possibility of avenging their comrades. If they took a step back now, wouldn’t it mean that the senior brothers and elders who had fallen in that black cloud died in vain?

Retreating this step would dissipate the morale of the sect’s followers, and the fortunes of the entire Bodhi Sect would dwindle like a river, with no chance of resurgence.

"..."

Facing the united opposition of the monks, Li Shan and the disciples of the Three Immortals Sect felt at a loss.

The words of the Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva seemed to imply a concession, as he only said that it couldn’t be Senior Brother Shen Yi, without saying that it couldn’t be a cultivator from the Three Immortals Sect.

But how was that possible... if he couldn’t become the Immortal Emperor, Senior Brother Shen Yi would only have the path of perishing with his Dao disappearing.

With this in mind, everyone looked up toward the Heroic Peak.

Compared to the sharp confrontation between the Joyful True Buddha and Lady Houtu, Emperor Dongji, who cared most about the great tribulation, instead appeared to sit calmly.

This was the situation he most desired to see.

Before coming to the East Continent, Emperor Dongji deliberately invited Lady Houtu, who was not interested in the great tribulation, and prevented other emperors from intervening. This had resulted in the current situation where the only one who could assist Shen Yi was himself.

This Jade Void Universe True Monarch, pressured by the Immortal Oath, if he wanted to survive, could only rely on the East Pole Emperor’s Mansion.

He hadn’t thought that Shen Yi was lying.

After all, from any angle, this Immortal Oath did him no favors and would only serve as a hindrance; in other words, if it wasn’t known that he must become the Immortal Emperor, the Bodhi Sect’s attitude might not have been as firm as it is now.

Emperor Dongji’s fingers slightly clenched, as if grasping someone’s lifeline, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

This time, he didn’t hastily speak to voice support for Shen Yi; instead, like a mediator, he stood up: "Everyone, calm down first, discuss among yourselves, and we will meet again in three days."

With the emperor’s words, the immortals paused for a moment, somewhat dazed. This trip to the East Continent was initially intended to hold the Bodhi Sect accountable for the incident where the Great Freedom Lotus Pearl Bodhisattva attacked and killed Chu Xi of Chi Yun Cave.

Later, it inexplicably turned into a debate, and if they could seize the opportunity to complete the great tribulation, so be it. But now, with the significant casualties among the immortals and many Golden Immortals in slumber, their vitality was gravely injured.

But ultimately, it still came back to a situation where verbal negotiation was needed.

So... what was the meaning of it all?

After going around in a huge circle, they suddenly realized they had returned to where they started.

Unsettled, they followed Emperor Dongji as he withdrew beyond the East Sumeru.

Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva slowly raised his head, coldly watching the backs of the immortals with the dense and upright figures behind him.

Return to the distance? They probably couldn’t return anymore.

...

People of the East Continent rarely found that lately, there seemed to be no trace of the Gods and Buddhas Immortal Venerable, yet life went on as usual.

Those beings who lived high above the clouds no longer had the energy to manage the human world.

In the deep night, inside the Three Pure Ones Hall in Nanping Prefecture.

Under the flickering candlelight, Emperor Dongji sat high on the altar, with the immortals arrayed below him, junior disciples kneeling neatly, while Lady Houtu remained absent-minded, leaning against the door frame, gazing distantly at the stars and moon.
