Capítulo 1258: Chapter 1249: Jade Emperor Holy Emperor

“Who is there?!”

Mo Wangchen suddenly became startled, and his body shot up from where he was sitting.

He looked as if he’d seen a ghost, staring at the holy seal floating in front of him.

“Little one, if you wish to repair the holy seal, five to six million jins of desolate energy are indispensable…”

From within the holy seal, that voice emerged again, without answering Mo Wangchen’s question.

“Who are you?”

Mo Wangchen was even more astonished in his heart. Within this holy seal, there existed someone?

No, to be precise, there was a soul spirit inside?!

“You can call me… Jade Emperor.”

The voice paused for three breaths, then emerged again, and every word transmitted clearly into Mo Wangchen’s ears.

“What?!”

Upon hearing this, Mo Wangchen’s body shook, and his face was immediately filled with disbelief, “You are the Jade Emperor?!”

How is this possible?

The supreme Holy Emperor who once ruled the three realms before ancient times still exists in this world?

“Stop pretending. The Jade Emperor had long turned into the dust of the era with the ancient heavenly court. Who exactly are you?”

After the surprise, Mo Wangchen’s heart clearly would not believe it. He grabbed the holy seal in his hand and shouted angrily.

“What good would it do for me to deceive you? Although I fell with the ancient battle, a wisp of my residual soul was sealed within this holy seal…”

That voice emerged again, and then the holy seal emitted a dazzling holy light, which gradually gathered in front of Mo Wangchen, transforming into the likeness of a middle-aged man.

This was a man of unparalleled elegance, with an invisible great dao divine power swirling around him. Though he showed no anger, he carried a natural mighty presence. His deep eyes seemed to contain billions of stars, exuding an indescribable sense of ancient history.

“Buzz…”

The man did not have a physical form but was a soul body, appearing semi-transparent. He was an ancient figure of divine aura, not belonging to this mortal realm.

He extended a finger, showing holy light. An indescribable terrifying aura spread, causing Mo Wangchen’s heart and spirit to tremble.

“Heavenly Subduing Technique of the Divine King?!”

On the holy light at the man’s fingertip, Mo Wangchen felt a familiar aura, which was indeed from the Heavenly Subduing Technique.

Or rather, it belonged to the Haotian Scripture, since the Heavenly Subduing Technique was merely an extension of the Haotian Scripture.

“Are you really the Jade Emperor?”

Thinking this in his heart, Mo Wangchen looked increasingly astonished, with an incredulous gaze at the middle-aged man floating before him.

“As expected, you are of the Ji family’s bloodline. Late Stage of Heavenly Immortal realm cultivation, your combat power is comparable to an ordinary quasi-god.”

The Jade Emperor’s gaze carried admiration as it fell on Mo Wangchen, and he smiled lightly as he spoke.

“How do you know about me?” Mo Wangchen frowned.

The ancestor of the Ji family, rumored to be the Jade Emperor’s blood brother, making the Jade Emperor also of the Ji surname.

“After the holy seal reformed, I have revived. All your actions during these days, how could I not know?” The Jade Emperor replied with a smile.

Seeing Mo Wangchen remain silent, he smiled once more, “Speaking of which, you are the reincarnation of Yihao’s son. In terms of seniority, we’re not too far apart, at most seven or eight generations… You can just call me Saint Ancestor.”

“You were really asleep within the holy seal for tens of millions of years?”

Even now, Mo Wangchen remained somewhat unbelieving. Could the former Jade Emperor still be alive in this world?

If this were to spread, it would surely cause a tremendous storm.

The Haotian Scripture is the Jade Emperor’s work. Only the Ji family’s Divine King Body can cultivate it. Mo Wangchen naturally wouldn’t doubt it, just found it hard to believe.

“Saint Ancestor just said, repairing the holy seal requires five to six million jins of desolate energy. Is that true?”

Mo Wangchen frowned. Such an amount was too vast and terrifying, seemingly impossible to gather.

Moreover, so much desolate energy might be enough to repair two holy seals, right?

Seeing the Jade Emperor remain silent, a peculiar expression spread across Mo Wangchen’s face as he looked at him, “Actually, to repair the holy seal, it probably doesn’t require that much desolate energy, does it?”

“Not long ago, I used three thousand jins of desolate energy to repair a crack on the holy seal. Just now, it took thirty thousand jins, yet it only repaired three cracks, which is already very unusual. Could it be that the excess desolate energy was absorbed by Saint Ancestor?”

The Jade Emperor’s residual soul, sealed within the holy seal for tens of millions of years, was long frail. With the sudden awakening now, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but suspect that the thirty thousand jins of desolate energy had been ‘swallowed’ by the other party.

“You little one, what kind of look is that? Isn’t it okay for me to absorb a bit of your desolate energy?” Seeing Mo Wangchen’s peculiar look, the Jade Emperor felt a bit embarrassed but maintained composure as he spoke.

Indeed, as Mo Wangchen said, the desolate energy needed to repair the holy seal wasn’t actually that much. Most of the thirty thousand jins of desolate energy was absorbed by the Jade Emperor, otherwise, his soul body wouldn’t have awakened so quickly.

If not for this, that thirty thousand jins of desolate energy would have been enough to repair most of the holy seal.

“You won’t continue absorbing desolate energy in the future, will you?”

Mo Wangchen felt at a loss. The desolate energy needed to repair the holy seal was already difficult to find, and now there was this god to ‘sustain’. Moreover, it seemed his need for desolate energy far surpassed what was needed for the holy seal many times over.

Thinking about this, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but feel a headache.

“Do you think I do it deliberately? My time within this holy seal has been too long, almost becoming one with it. I absorb the desolate energy passively,” the Jade Emperor said earnestly.

“Passively absorbing?”

Hearing this, Mo Wangchen felt even more troubled.

“How much desolate energy do you have left on you?” The Jade Emperor suddenly asked.

Mo Wangchen remained silent, with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, he wondered if he should reveal that he had seventy thousand jins of desolate energy left.

If he said it, and the other asked for it, being the blood brother of the Ji family’s first ancestor, he really couldn’t refuse, could he?

But if given, the seventy thousand jins of desolate energy wouldn’t even repair the holy seal and would just be like throwing it into water without any splash…

“What’s that expression? You got a total of one hundred thousand jins of desolate energy from the Qianyuan Sect. I know that. Why can’t you say it? Afraid I’ll snatch it?” The Jade Emperor said.

“Afraid.” Mo Wangchen seriously nodded his head.

He suddenly realized that the legendary Jade Emperor, who once ruled the three realms, wasn’t as majestic as he’d imagined. This kind of personality wasn’t much different from that dead dog on the Holy Mountain.

Could it be that all the gods of the ancient heavenly court were like this?
