Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1256 - 1253: Attitudes of Each Faction

Li Chen’s sword strike shattered the heavens and the earth.

Even miles away, it could be seen clearly.

On Thunder Mountain, within the Soul Suppressing Pavilion, there were incredulous exclamations.

"Not good, quickly report to Martial Uncle Sect Leader, Martial Uncle Xuan Gan and Martial Uncle Bibo’s soul tokens have shattered!"

For a moment, the upper echelons of the Heavenly Thunder Sect were shrouded in dense clouds of sorrow.

Five Thunders True Monarch, hands behind his back, stood with a deep and grave expression, gazing at the starry sky for a long time.

After a long while, he finally sighed deeply and ordered, "Investigate Li Chen’s background, and before that, cease all actions against him and the entire Flame Dragon Dynasty!"

Jian Dynasty:

King Jian Gouchen, at this moment, was also gazing at the starry sky just like the Five Thunders True Monarch.

Just now, Wen Qing, the eldest son of Grandmaster Wenn Zhong, had entered the palace to report the sudden shattering of his father’s soul token.

In the entire Jian Dynasty, there were only three Divinity Transformation True Monarchs.

Great General Pei Xiong self-destructed his body, and Grandmaster Wenn Zhong’s form and spirit perished together.

Now, in the entire Jian Dynasty, only he remains among the ranks of the Divinity Transformation True Monarchs.

Their Jian Dynasty’s resources were far less abundant than those of the nine great sacred sects, such as the Heavenly Thunder Sect, and the situation they faced was naturally even worse.

If the Heavenly Thunder Sect losing two Divinity Transformation True Monarchs was a bone-deep injury,

then for their Jian Dynasty, it was a severe blow to their primordial energy.

Now, their Jian Dynasty, setting aside revenge, is faced with a dilemma of whether they can survive this life-and-death crisis.

One must know, their Jian Dynasty is surrounded by strong enemies.

It’s just that, with three Divinity Transformation True Monarchs holding the fort within their dynasty, other forces could only watch covetously from the shadows and dare not act rashly.

But now, with two of the Divinity Transformation True Monarchs gone, leaving only him as a lone commander, it is impossible to ensure that those hostile forces won’t seize this opportunity to act impulsively.

Jian Gouchen, looking at the festively arranged plaza, ordered with a sullen face:

"Someone, pass down the order to cancel tomorrow’s sacrificial ceremony. Also, temporarily cancel all actions against the Flame Dragon Dynasty and its new ruler, Li Chen!"

According to their previous plan, tomorrow Grandmaster Wenn Zhong was to escort that thief Li Chen back to court.

By then, they would execute Li Chen before millions of citizens, using his head and blood to honor Great General Pei Xiong and the million soldiers perished recently in the Flame Dragon Dynasty’s downfall.

This was meant to elevate the prestige of their Jian Dynasty and deter the covetous minor factions around.

But unexpectedly, it has ended in such a tragic situation.

Now, Jian Gouchen is also very interested in Li Chen’s background.

He decides to personally visit the Heavenly Thunder Sect to see if they already know Li Chen’s background?

In addition, he plans to quickly establish an alliance with the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

As long as the two sides form an alliance, whether against the surrounding enemies or their common enemy Li Chen, their Jian Dynasty can retreat securely, not in a worrying dilemma.

Besides these two, the Heavenly Thunder Sect and the Jian Dynasty, another pair of eyes is closely watching everything unfold.

This pair of eyes belongs to the Greedy Wolf Hall!

The name Greedy Wolf Star comes from the Greedy Wolf Clan.

Greedy Wolf Hall is also the core of the Greedy Wolf Clan.

Its terrifying power is self-evident.

In the past, saying that the entire Greedy Wolf Star belonged to the Greedy Wolf Hall was not an exaggeration.

Though the Greedy Wolf Hall no longer shines with its former glory,

a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Now, the Greedy Wolf Hall remains at the top of the nine great sacred sects.

Moreover, its overall power far exceeds that of the second-ranking Sword God Mountain.

...

Flame Dragon Dynasty:

After Li Chen, using unimaginable Great Divine Power, brutally killed three Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, his prestige in the Flame Dragon Dynasty reached an unprecedented height.

Yet despite this, he felt no joy.

Ji Lingling was shattered into pieces by Grandmaster Wenn Zhong with a single palm.

Even Li Chen, as he is now, finds it difficult to bring her back to life.

Though Ji Lingling’s status was that of a maid, she was the first friend he met upon arriving on this unfamiliar plane, the Greedy Wolf Star.

Throughout their journey, they’ve shared life and death, forming a deep bond without realizing it.

Their relationship, although not reaching a romantic level, had surpassed mere friendship.

Now, the only thing Li Chen can do is to gather Ji Lingling’s body, preserve it within an ice coffin, and store it within his storage space.

He hopes perhaps one day he’ll find a way to revive her.

In the following three months, Li Chen remained secluded in the royal palace, focusing on his cultivation.

This time, by forcibly operating the Meteorite Heart, significantly absorbing the power of the stars, he unexpectedly illuminated the second star of the Nine Heavens Star Technique, elevating its level further.

If King Jian Gouchen were to seek him out now, Li Chen would indeed have the strength to stand against him!

During Li Chen’s seclusion, Guu Qingcheng replaced Ji Lingling, becoming his personal maid, handling his daily life.

Though Guu Qingcheng belonged to a noble lineage, she diligently fulfilled her role as a maid.

She no longer felt ashamed of her position as a maid; instead, she took pride in it.

Not only she, but Xia Ning’er, Zhou Yan’er, and Beihan Wu, these Heavenly Pride Girls, also felt the same.

After the brutal killing of Grandmaster Wenn Zhong and the three Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, Li Chen told Muu Xian’er that she could leave at any time.

Yet the Muu Xian’er, who once dreamt of escaping Li Chen’s grasp, inexplicably refused and willingly stayed by Li Chen’s side, content on being his "captive". Furthermore, she acted as a very obedient captive.

After completely illuminating the second star, Li Chen’s cultivation advanced from the late-stage Nascent Soul to the Nascent Soul Late Stage Peak.

However, to break through this bottleneck and enter the Half-step God Transformation Realm, a massive amount of resources is required.

Even if he were to exploit all resources in the Flame Dragon Dynasty, it would still be challenging to aid his breakthrough.

Therefore, to break through this bottleneck and reach the gate of becoming a Divinity Transformation True Monarch requires a great opportunity.

Of course, to find this great opportunity, he must leave the Flame Dragon Dynasty and venture into a broader world, undergoing life-and-death trials.

Before departing, Li Chen appointed Guu Qingcheng as the acting ruler.

Guu Family Master, Guu Qingcheng’s father, Guu Tianchun; Zhou Family Patriarch Zhou Zheng; Beihan Family Master Beihan Kuang; and former Du Family Chief Military Advisor Cao Bin together assisted her.

The first three are family heads, which is easy to understand.

However, the nameless figure Cao Bin, suddenly elevated to the same rank as Guu Tianchun, Zhou Zheng, and Beihan Kuang, is indeed puzzling to comprehend.

In truth, it’s simple, as it’s merely an imperial strategy played by Li Chen!

Cao Bin is Xia Ning’er’s man; having no substantial roots in the Flame Dragon Dynasty, he can only rely on Li Chen as his greatest support, swearing loyalty.

The Zhou Family and the Guu Family, while outwardly harmonious, engaged in fierce competition in secret, never truly reconciled.

The Beihan Family always maintained neutrality, not easily taking sides.

Thus, the four families maintained mutual checks and balances.

In this way, wherever Li Chen might be, he still retains control over the entire Flame Dragon Dynasty.

As for the Nanyan Family, once ranked alongside the Zhou, Guu, and Beihan families, it has now been marginalized due to choosing the wrong side, resulting in a very awkward position...
