Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 650: Saying Goodbye to Her

The Imperial Princess knelt silently, and within and without the Ancient City, all fell as quiet as if gripped by the chill of winter. Moreover, she showed no intention of rising.

Several young Big Shots turned an ashen hue, gnashing their teeth in anger, yet they were helpless.

「Nine Heavens, Southern Region.」

Chen Pingping clenched his fists, seething with murderous intent. A stream of words burst through his gritted teeth, "Very well! Fine! This is quite something, daring to treat my teacher like this! Once I charge onto the Ancient Road, I'll chop those bastards into pieces and throw them into the sea to feed the fish! Then I'll annihilate the Ancient City! All those Big Shots, all those powerful races, all those young geniuses, and those cowards who only blabber behind our backs—I'll kill them all, not sparing a single one!"

The White Emperor said nothing.

"Damn it..." Chen Pingping snorted coldly. "Huh? Big Shot, why aren't you speaking?"

"Is there a possibility," the White Emperor asked, her voice deep and eerie, "that your teacher is casting a spell?"

Wen Yuqing's act of kneeling had precedent. It once occurred in ages past, resulting in the slaying of several Emperor Realm powerhouses, along with many from the Great Saint Realm, a group of Saint Kings, and others, all of whom perished as a consequence. The scene had been startling, intimidating all of the Nine Heavens. Even five or six of the Ancient Roads had been severed; it was truly frightening.

Chen Pingping was shocked. "What do you mean?"

The White Emperor murmured, "When the Imperial Princess kneels, the Heavens above and all below shiver with cold. Roughly interpreted, it means she is casting a spell."

It was a terrifying spell, a Secret Technique that could summon the Sovereign of the Dynasty, resurrecting him. As for how it was done, no one knew. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

What was truly frightening was that in the great battle that led to the dynasty's downfall, this Sovereign of the Dynasty had been personally crushed by several great figures. His flesh and blood had turned to dust, and his Divine Soul had utterly dissipated, leaving no chance to enter the cycle of Reincarnation. This meant the Sovereign of the Dynasty was dead beyond any possibility of return. Yet, how could Wen Yuqing summon him back?

The White Emperor spoke quietly for about ten minutes. The more Chen Pingping listened, the stranger, more baffled, and bewildered he became. Then, his expression turned to one of utter incredulity. Kneeling and calling for backup from one's ancestors? Is such a thing even possible?

"Your teacher wasn't forced; she did so willingly, and it was for you," the White Emperor said, looking at him. "When you were forging the Emperor Weapon, a Big Shot wanted to intervene, but your teacher stopped them. Later, during the battles in the Northern Border, when you were slaying the Demon Emperor, another Big Shot intended to make a move. Had your teacher not stood guard on the Ancient Road, you might have already fallen into Reincarnation or perished, your cultivation path destroyed. Your Wuji Sect would also have been annihilated because of this."

She wasn't joking. The "Big Shots" who emerged from the Ancient City, though not as powerful as those truly great figures, still possessed terrifying strength, especially when combined with the Golden Soldiers. Even just a few of them could sweep across many of the powers in the Nine Heavens.

The White Emperor continued her explanation quietly.

Chen Pingping listened in silence, but his heart was a maelstrom of emotions, unable to find calm for a long time. So, my teacher knelt on the Ancient Road, all for my sake.

But the great war is over now. Why is she still doing this?

Seeing Chen Pingping's puzzled expression, the White Emperor explained, "She had no choice but to kneel."

Once she stood up, those powerful beings would swarm them. At that point, no matter how powerful Chen Pingping became, regardless of the Wuji Sect's foundation, they couldn't resist the slaughter from the Ancient City. So, Wen Yuqing showed no intention of rising, even now.

How long must she kneel? No one knew, but everyone understood she was doing it to protect her outstanding disciple. If the Ancient City dared to make a move, she would summon the Sovereign of the Dynasty, just as she had done in the past, even if the cost was immense. The several young Big Shots from the Ancient City didn't dare to gamble, so they dared not overstep.

"Fuck..." Chen Pingping cursed angrily. "It's always the Ancient City, the Ancient Road, and those goddamn Big Shots!"

"You should calm down."

"How am I supposed to stay calm?"

"Your teacher sacrificed herself for you, willingly kneeling on the Ancient Road to block all powerful enemies for your sake. You should be calm," the White Emperor said, gazing at him.

"Yes, Big Shot, you're right. I should stay calm," Chen Pingping said, taking a deep breath. "Big Shot, I have another question."

"Go ahead."

"With my current strength, plus the overall power of the Wuji Sect, could we possibly force our way into the Ancient City?" he asked, a hint of desperation in his voice.

The White Emperor fell silent. The question was foolish and impulsive.

Undeniably, the Wuji Sect was currently very powerful and possessed a decent foundation; a member of Qingfeng's lineage had even slain a Demon Emperor. These achievements were substantial, truly astonishing. But this was the Ancient City.

Amidst the Nine Heavens, it was the most mysterious and terrifying place. There, numerous powerful races possessed terrifying bloodlines, and cultivators practiced Supreme Skills. Any young person from there, if brought out, would be enough to sweep across a vast region. Their powerhouses were just as formidable; a single one emerging could look down upon all creation. This didn't even account for the terrifying beings hidden in the shadows or the ancient 'Big Shots' and others of their ilk. The Ancient City... those two words carried too much weight.

Even she, the White Emperor, didn't dare to set foot there lightly!

Chen Pingping exhaled a breath of turbid air. "I understand now. My current strength is far from enough. I can't even step onto the Ancient Road; I can only gaze at it from a distance, let alone face the Ancient City. The Wuji Sect is in the same position, right?"

The White Emperor nodded. "Yes."

"So? Is my teacher going to stay kneeling forever?" Chen Pingping's eyes widened.

"I don't know. No one knows. Perhaps... perhaps even your teacher doesn't know what it will mean once she stands up," the White Emperor said.

"Is there really no power in this world that can suppress them?" Chen Pingping gritted his teeth.

There is, the White Emperor mused. But that was a very, very long time ago. And now, even she didn't know. She fell into thought.

Chen Pingping, indignant, said coldly, "Fine. When I grow strong enough, I will sweep across the Ancient Road, slay the 'Big Shots,' destroy the Ancient City, and rid the Nine Heavens of this cancer."

The White Emperor smiled. Throughout the long years, she had seen far too many young people like Chen Pingping, full of passion, rushing onto the Ancient Road, never to return. They were fervent and stubborn. But undeniably, sometimes, the world needed such young people. Their solitary courage might just bring a glimmer of dawn to this land. Even if they failed, it didn't matter. Others would always follow, one after another, until the day of success.

At this moment, the way the White Emperor looked at Chen Pingping changed significantly. She began to appreciate this young man. No wonder that demonic girl likes him.

Unfortunately, with different allegiances, their paths were ultimately destined to diverge.

"You may go," the White Emperor sighed softly. "Our conversation is over. Once you leave the Southern Region, do not return."

Chen Pingping was silent.

"Do you have anything else to say?" the White Emperor looked at him.

"Yes. After I leave the Southern Region, I may soon embark on my journey. But the Wuji Sect remains. If one day the Wuji Sect faces a great calamity, a true crisis of life and death, I hope you can help them, Big Shot," Chen Pingping said with utmost seriousness.

"Alright, I promise you this."

"One last request."

The White Emperor looked at him, clearly perplexed.

"I want to say goodbye to 'Big Brother'," Chen Pingping said with a sheepish smile.

"You're provoking me," the White Emperor's expression darkened.

"Big Shot, please see it this way," Chen Pingping said, his eyes darting around. "If I leave without saying goodbye, 'Big Brother' will definitely worry even more and will inevitably try to chase after me. What then? Although you are an Emperor Realm powerhouse, you can't keep 'Big Brother' imprisoned all the time, right?"

He elaborated, "So, here's the problem: if I leave without saying goodbye, Yue Wuxia will definitely sneak out to follow me. Given her character and temperament, that's highly probable. Conversely, if I bid her farewell, outline my plans, and reassure her, asking her to wait in Monster Emperor City, Yue Wuxia would undoubtedly stay here obediently."

Fuck! The White Emperor fumed internally. "Did you deceive Xia'er like this before?"
