CHAPTER 1099: CHAPTER 1099: EMPEROR WUJIANG

Sun Yuxiang never expected Xu Nian to write such words.

Even more unexpectedly, these words were actually acknowledged by the questioner.

The Immortal is but an ant, the Divine is not the end, if gods and demons deceive me, I shall slay demons and deities.

What domineering words these are.

The key is that she truly felt a sense of condescending arrogance from these words.

This arrogance was not feigned, but a genuine disdain.

Sun Yuxiang really couldn’t imagine how a mortal could say such things.

If this were to spread, everyone would probably think he’s blasphemous, an idiot dreaming.

But Sun Yuxiang believed that perhaps one day, this man before her could truly achieve this.

What a fascinating man he is.

But unfortunately...

Sun Yuxiang sighed in her heart.

The young man before her was undoubtedly a genius among the younger generation, yet she could not give herself to him.

Because her body did not belong to herself.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the ground began to tremble.

The stele before them burst out with an exceptionally bright light.

In the next moment, Xu Nian saw a shadow emerge from the void.

Seeing this shadow, Xu Nian felt an uncontrollable urge to kneel.

"Is this... an Immortal Emperor?" Xu Nian thought in shock.

Because the pressure emitting from this shadow was a grand celestial might.

However, this might was not tangible, otherwise, Xu Nian and the others wouldn’t have been able to stand.

"He is Emperor Wujiang, who once single-handedly slew several Immortal Emperor Level beings. This token on Shendang Mountain was left by Emperor Wujiang," Sun Yuxiang said to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian was slightly taken aback, not expecting this to be the formidable Immortal Emperor of Shendang Mountain.

"Greetings, Immortal Emperor!"

Both Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang respectfully saluted.

Even though this was not reality, Xu Nian still felt a trace of soul fluctuation.

It was clear that the shadow before them was the immortal soul mark of Emperor Wujiang.

Emperor Wujiang looked at Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang with a faint smile, especially soft when looking at Xu Nian, like an elder looking at a junior.

"Not bad, being able to activate my soul mark shows that you’ve answered my question. In the Immortal Realm, having such insight might not be strange, but in the Mortal World, very few possess it, so your appearance surprised me greatly," Emperor Wujiang said with a smile.

"Senior overpraises, it’s merely a heartfelt sentiment. Mortals may be weak, but their hearts are vast. Immortals and demons are just realms in cultivation," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

His tone was extremely natural as he spoke these words.

If other strong practitioners from the Cultivation World were present, they’d surely scoff.

But Xu Nian spoke these words from the heart.

His perspective was different, having been groomed by Wentian Demon Sovereign and Ye Tian God Emperor, even Dao Tian Rat; his vision had long transcended the Immortal Realm, heading towards the Divine World.

So these words were truly from his heart.

Yet to others, it might come off as pretentious.

Emperor Wujiang’s face showed a smile, seeing no arrogance in the youth before him, but appreciating him even more.

Sometimes, cultivation relies on passionate blood and an invincible heart.

"Not bad, with such realization, your future achievements may not be below mine. Young one, what’s your name?" Emperor Wujiang asked with a smile.

"Reporting to senior, this humble one is Xu Nian!" Xu Nian replied.

"Xu Nian, is it? You’re quite good, I have high hopes for you. I will be waiting for you in the Divine World; I hope you won’t disappoint me," Emperor Wujiang said with a smile.

Xu Nian was slightly taken aback.

Waiting for him in the Divine World?

Does that mean this Emperor Wujiang has already ascended to the Divine World, becoming a divine being?

"You’re not wrong, I have indeed become a divine. But the Divine World isn’t as wonderful as you think; it’s even more terrifying than the Immortal, Demon, and Devil World combined. Are you scared?" Emperor Wujiang asked with a smile.

"This junior is not scared. Even if it’s dangerous, I must visit the Divine World. Otherwise, would this life not be lived in vain?" Xu Nian replied naturally.

"Haha, interesting. To hear someone speak of becoming a god so lightly for the first time, young one, I am even more appreciative of you. Remember, if you come to the Divine World, use this mark to find me. Perhaps I can bring you many benefits; this mark also ensures you’ll be treated as an honored guest at Shendang Mountain because seeing the mark is akin to seeing me," Emperor Wujiang laughed heartily.

Then with a wave of his sleeve, a mark appeared on Xu Nian’s arm.

The shape of the mark was a sharp sword.

On the hilt of the sword, intricate patterns were carved. The entire mark, though small, was extremely delicate, lifelike.

Seeing this mark, Sun Yuxiang’s pretty face also revealed a look of shock.

She knew better than anyone what this mark represented.

This meant that Xu Nian would become an esteemed guest of Shendang Mountain, a high praise in the Immortal Realm.

Xu Nian was also a bit surprised, not expecting Emperor Wujiang to give him such an item.

"Alright, meeting such an interesting guy was quite unexpected, but I must remind you, cultivation is inherently defying the heavens, and at any moment, you might face death. There’s a long, long way before you can stand before me, whether you can achieve it depends on you." Emperor Wujiang said with a smile.

In the next moment, his form began to turn, eventually transforming into a mist of blood.

Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang were both a bit stunned, did Emperor Wujiang appear just to say these words?

Was there nothing else?

Indeed, Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang thought correctly; Emperor Wujiang left a soul mark solely to see who would obtain his legacy.

Emperor Wujiang disappeared, but the blood mist did not dissipate.

This blood mist gradually condensed, ultimately forming a blood-colored crystal the size of a grain of rice.

"Is this the Immortal Emperor Blood Crystal?" Xu Nian was taken aback.

As this blood-colored crystal condensed and formed, Xu Nian distinctly felt an overwhelming oppressive force wash over him.

Inside this blood-colored crystal was a vast energy and an indescribable energy fluctuation that Xu Nian couldn’t fathom.

Perhaps that was the Power of Laws, but not something Xu Nian and his companions could comprehend.

"You keep this Immortal Emperor Blood Crystal. You only need to tell me how to restore Murong Xue’s memory," Xu Nian said to Sun Yuxiang.

For now, he had no desire for this Immortal Emperor Blood Crystal.

Given his current strength, even if he obtained this crystal, it would be of no use.

As for aiding cultivation insight, the fluctuation emanating from the crystal was of the Fire Attribute, which offered no help to Xu Nian.

Therefore, he didn’t want this blood crystal at all.

"Thank you!" Sun Yuxiang directly accepted the Immortal Emperor Blood Crystal, then looked at Xu Nian, saying, "To restore Murong Xue’s memory, there’s only one way: kill the Tiancang Sect Master. As he set the seal, only by killing him can the seal be broken, there is no other method."

Xu Nian was startled, kill the Tiancang Sect Master?

Then his eyes emitted a fierce killing intent.
