(Just finished, there will be updates, thank you all for your support, extra content for the dear book fan ’Ban Yeyu’.)
This old antiques, who has lived for countless years and is old and frail, obviously holds extremely high prestige and status in Sealing Emperor City.
His words full of emotion spread out, causing the martial artists of the ten great families and the ten great sects in Sealing Emperor City to be completely stunned, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.
Even Xiao Ye, who was full of vigilance, was shocked.
This elder appeared, not to support the strong of Sealing Emperor City, but to speak on his behalf?
"Heavenly Elder, you have been the leader of our Sealing Emperor City for nearly a thousand years. Are you going to stand by and watch while an outsider controls our Sealing Emperor City?" The ancestor of the Yue Family, Yue Xing, stepped forward and asked loudly.
They considered this elder as their hope; seeing him speak for Xiao Ye, they naturally could not accept it.
"Heavenly Elder, our Sealing Emperor City’s martial artists would rather die than be controlled by outsiders."
"The martial artists of our Sealing Emperor City live freely in this space, why get involved in the conflicts of Central State? Heavenly Elder, please reconsider!"
"Exactly, why should our Sealing Emperor City’s martial artists involve themselves in Central State? Our ancestors of Sealing Emperor City moved here precisely because they were repulsed by Central State."
...
Following the lead of Yue Xing, the titled Emperor Martial joined in with resentful expressions.
"Hmph!"
"It seems it’s been too long since I appeared, and you’ve all forgotten how terrifying I am. Even a bunch of youngsters dare challenge me now!"
"Say another word, and I won’t mind erasing you!"
The attitude of these titled Emperor Martial from Sealing Emperor City clearly angered the elder. His cloudy eyes suddenly erupted with dazzling Divine Radiance, and an immense suppression surged from him, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
Boom!
An invisible momentum rolled in, instantly shaking the heavens and earth, forcing the titled Emperor Martial to retreat involuntarily, their expressions showing extreme fear, as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak another word.
In the presence of this elder, these titled Emperor Martial seemed as insignificant as ants, utterly incomparable.
"A Half-step Emperor!"
From afar, Xiao Ye felt the overwhelming suppression, his hair standing on end, as if bearing the weight of a mountain, barely able to breathe, his face full of shock.
Such an elderly figure is actually a genuine Half-step Emperor!
Heavens!
There is actually a Half-step Emperor in Sealing Emperor City!
"Little fellow, Sword Emperor, come with me!" At this moment, the terrifying suppression suddenly ceased, and the Heavenly Elder became indistinguishable from an ordinary old man, his gaze turning to Xiao Ye.
After speaking, he hunched his body, stepping slowly towards the distance.
A conflict was resolved, and the martial artists in Sealing Emperor City whispered among themselves, their expressions revealing undisguised shock, clearly still unable to believe that the Heavenly Elder spoke for Xiao Ye.
The titled Emperor Martial of the ten great families and the ten great sects exchanged glances, then left with complex expressions.
"Young rascal, let’s catch up quickly. With Heavenly Elder helping you, conquering Sealing Emperor City will definitely pose no problem." Sword Emperor excitedly communicated to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye nodded, not even having time to change out of his tattered, bloodstained robes, he grabbed Bing Ya and gave chase.
Although he suffered some injuries in the Heavenly Tribulation, he cultivated a Domineering Body, allowing him to rapidly heal, currently with no major issues, and having successfully Fish Jumping Dragon Gate, his spirit essence reaching its peak.
He kept his gaze fixed tightly on the Heavenly Elder, whose slow strides in the void were surprisingly rapid, heading towards the secluded area of Sealing Emperor City.
Xiao Ye led Bing Ya, exerting maximum effort to fly, barely keeping pace.
"Sword Emperor senior, who is this old man?"
"Do you have any agreement with this old man?"
Halfway, Xiao Ye couldn’t suppress his curiosity and asked Sword Emperor quietly, who was flying alongside him.
"He is a remarkable figure of our Sealing Emperor City from a thousand years ago, whose real name is now forgotten, respected as Heavenly Elder, of very high seniority."
"In his youth, Heavenly Elder’s martial arts talent was astounding, being the first Heavenly Pride of our Sealing Emperor City’s younger generation, far surpassing Yue Zifeng now, regarded by the martial artists of Sealing Emperor City as having an excellent chance to break through as a Half-step Emperor."
"Unfortunately, Heavenly Elder was too old with declining energy by the time he broke through to this realm, lacking the true power of a Half-step Emperor, only able to continue his life through long-term seclusion, leading the martial artists of Sealing Emperor City to believe Heavenly Elder failed in the attempt and had fallen."
Sword Emperor’s eyes showed a hint of nostalgia.
"Being the legitimate heir of Sealing Emperor City’s ancestors, I was summoned by Heavenly Elder, sharing my thoughts and your matters with him at the time." Sword Emperor suddenly looked at Xiao Ye meaningfully.
"Heavenly Elder agreed with my thoughts, and actively proposed to bet with me. If your strength is recognized by him upon returning to Sealing Emperor City, he will help you conquer Sealing Emperor City, accompanying you in battling Central State."
Sword Emperor said slowly.
"I see!" Xiao Ye was enlightened upon hearing this, feeling even more grateful to Sword Emperor in his heart.
Though Sword Emperor spoke simply, Xiao Ye understood that without Sword Emperor, Heavenly Elder likely wouldn’t appear for an outsider like him.
At the same time, a sense of regret arose within him for the Heavenly Elder.
Time is ruthless, even the most talented if aging and weakening, it’s difficult for the martial arts realm to reverse fate unless reaching heights akin to the Human Race Four Emperors.
Clearly, Heavenly Elder no longer has the opportunity to challenge the Supreme Realm.
As Xiao Ye reflected, he noticed Heavenly Elder flying into a residence.
This residence is very simple, situated in the westernmost part of Sealing Emperor City, extremely secluded, sparsely populated, covered in dust and fallen leaves, hard to imagine it’s the dwelling of a Half-step Emperor.
"Heavenly Elder!"
Xiao Ye brought Bing Ya down from the sky into the courtyard, respectfully saluting the hunched elder.
Even someone of Sword Emperor’s stature is respectful in front of Heavenly Elder.
"Although you’ve reached the Titled Emperor Martial, I still have some doubts about your strength." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"This is the ’Heavenly Ascension Stele’ used to evaluate the strength of Titled Emperor Martial in Central State, both you and the girl beside you should test your strength." Heavenly Elder hunched over, calmly pointed to a huge stele in the courtyard.
"Heavenly Ascension Stele?"
"Such a treasure exists in Central State!" Xiao Ye followed Heavenly Elder’s direction and looked.
