I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 2024: Chapter 2024: Emperor’s Will Breakthrough!

Is it kind?

Perhaps.

Lu Chang’sheng reached towards the Xuantian God’s brow and said, "In the future, you will go to the Mortal Realm and take on the position of a refiner at the Azure Heaven Academy. Pass down the Artifact Refining Technique properly."

Xuantian God slightly frowned, "Is that all? If that’s the only reason for sparing my life, why not keep the Dan Heavenly God as well?"

A golden light emerged from Lu Chang’sheng’s fingertip, planting the same restriction as Jiang Yiyu in Xuantian God’s soul and also removing the gray substance within his soul.

After finishing all this, Lu Chang’sheng said, "You will be informed if there is anything else."

Keeping Xuantian God indeed has its uses, seeing that when the time comes, we will definitely confront the Holy Court. Having someone from within the Holy Court makes future actions more convenient.

So why not keep the Cangtian God and Dan Heavenly God?

Of course, because Xuantian God has served as Lu Chang’sheng’s cheap "master" in the Immortal Realm for a time.

Due to this reason, Lu Chang’sheng chose to keep Xuantian God.

At this moment, a stream of light passed by, arriving beside Xuantian God.

It was the Goddess Jiang Yiyu.

However, the once radiant and extraordinarily confident Goddess had now lost her former glory.

Her once radiant gaze, now weary, swept over the surroundings. Although she had already guessed the outcome for the Immortal Realm, she couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

Xuantian God patted Jiang Yiyu’s shoulder and said, "Follow me in the future."

Jiang Yiyu shook her head and said, "Forget it, once the passage to Outer Heaven opens, I’ll venture out."

Xuantian God understood Jiang Yiyu’s sentiments. Looking at Lu Chang’sheng’s expression and seeing no change upon hearing these words, he nodded in understanding.

Then, Xuantian God and Jiang Yiyu stepped aside.

They knew it was time for the victors to relish in their spoils.

At this moment.

The people of the Lower Five Realms were already surrounding Lu Chang’sheng and his companions.

Seeing this, Lu Chang’sheng waved his hand and said, "I’ll leave things here to you. Don’t stay out too long; return to Longevity World soon."

Then he vanished directly.

Lu Chang’sheng had no habit of being surrounded by others for flattery and compliments.

The crowd was taken aback by this.

Xuanyuan Tianzhao came to Ye Qiubai and asked, "Is that your master?"

Ye Qiubai nodded.

Du Gubai shook his head with a bitter smile, "Truly, there are heavens beyond heavens; people beyond people. If this senior had intervened a million years ago, the Immortal Realm might not have mattered."

Millions of years ago?

What was Master doing back then?

Hmm...

Ancestry hadn’t even evolved into humans yet...

At this time, the Imperial Preceptor stepped forward and said, "Alright, after this battle, you all need some time to recuperate. Everyone has injuries, so first go heal yourselves and regroup."

Speaking of which, the Imperial Preceptor bowed to Hong Ying and said, "Your Majesty, let the old man handle the planning going forward. After this battle, Your Majesty and your senior brothers have reached a breakthrough state. Please go into seclusion first."

Hong Ying and the others had this intent already and nodded, "Then I leave it to you, Imperial Preceptor, but before that, there is one more thing..."

Everyone from the Lower Five Realms focused their gaze on Hong Ying, fervently, seemingly assuming Hong Ying as their sovereign!

Hong Ying stood above the Qingming Sea, her garments fluttering gently with the wind, her gaze sweeping over countless fervent and reverent faces below.

Having experienced a bloody battle, although the alliance army of the Lower Five Realms suffered heavy casualties, the hope and excitement from surviving the catastrophe burned in their eyes.

She took a deep breath, her clear voice imbued with the majestic authority of an emperor, resonating across the seas:

"This battle is not the merit of one person, but a heroic endeavor by all beings of the Lower Five Realms to resist foreign invaders and protect our homeland! All who fought, regardless of sect or rogue cultivator, are heroes. Fallen ones shall have their names engraved on monuments and be honored with incense for ages; the survivors will, based on their recorded merits, have post-war compensations and rewards discussed collectively by all realms."

With these words.

Everyone present finally exhaled the breath they had been holding!

They all cheered out loud!

For a moment, it seemed as though the entire Chaos Realm could hear the cheers!

She paused slightly, looking at the Imperial Preceptor, Xuanyuan Tianzhao, Du Gubai, and others beside her, continuing, "Although the Immortal Realm has collapsed, remnants remain, and the Holy Court outside remains a threat. We cannot afford to be complacent over a temporary victory.

From this day forth, the Lower Five Realms shall rebuild their alliance, establish a Heavenly Patrol Guard, oversee the passages of each realm, and guard against the return of external enemies."

"Additionally," Hong Ying turned, looking at Ye Qiubai, Mu Fusheng, Blackie, and other fellow disciples, "We have all reached a breakthrough opportunity and need to undergo seclusion for some time. During this period, if there are any matters, they will be handled by the Imperial Preceptor."

Most people nodded as a matter of course.

Only those leaders of the first-rate and top factions thought, "What a clever move to push with the flow!"

After this battle, Hong Ying’s prestige as a leader has reached its peak, backed by a master who can sweep the entire Immortal Realm in less than an incense stick’s time.

With these words.

Who would dare oppose at such a time?

Even the long disjointed Chaos Realm factions wouldn’t utter a word under these circumstances.

Otherwise, Hong Ying’s master’s intervention wouldn’t even be necessary.

Other factions eager to make a presence in front of Hong Ying would unite to devour them entirely...

This would mean more resources for distribution later.

Xuanyuan Tianzhao, Xu Youming, Mo Lin exchanged glances, also only able to nod.

Others also bowed to Hong Ying, saying in chorus, "Understood."

Just as all uttered these three words.

An invisible force gathered around Hong Ying.

A powerful Emperor’s Will suddenly erupted!

The crowd was taken aback.

It was the Emperor’s Intent!

Hong Ying’s imperial intent was nearing a breakthrough.

Seeing this, Ye Qiubai and the others exchanged looks, preparing to enter the surrounding space nodes to return to Longevity World.

Just before leaving, He Mengshen suddenly approached Ye Qiubai, smiling, "Come to the Hetu Clan once you break through."

He said this and left with a smile, not waiting for Ye Qiubai’s response.

Ye Qiubai and the others exchanged glances, a strange expression on their faces, and left the place.

After this battle, the power within their bodies was exhausted, refilled, then exhausted again, coupled with repeated polishing of their souls.

The aura within had already reached a critical point.

They could break through at any time.

Moreover, with the help of the Spirit Gathering Array in Longevity World, a large amount of Power of Law, and medicinal pills refined by their master, breaking through was just a matter of time.

...

After Ye Qiubai and the others left.

The people of the Lower Five Realms began tidying up the battlefield.

All factions returned to their respective sect territories, beginning rebuilding efforts and calculating losses.

As for the Immortal Realm...

The defeated naturally surrendered all of their foundation.

Xuantian God opened the treasure vault of the Immortal Realm, handing everything over to the Imperial Preceptor.

Except for some heavy treasures, everything else was distributed based on war merits to the major factions, as neither Ye Qiubai nor Lu Chang’sheng had any interest in them.

At the same time, the Imperial Preceptor understood Hong Ying’s intention.

The Cloud Phoenix Empire—rebuilt itself in the center of the Cangxuan Continent within the Chaos Realm, and constructed spatial teleportation arrays to other Great Realms and continents.

This also signified that the Cloud Phoenix Empire ultimately walked the same path as the Chaos Divine Dynasty.

However, the prestige and potential of the Cloud Phoenix Empire might far exceed that of the Chaos Divine Dynasty from the past...

On another side.

Within the Great Wall.

Lu Chang’sheng’s figure reappeared there.

Seeing Lu Chang’sheng’s return.

Du Zhong smiled and said, "Yo, it’s over, everything’s settled?"

Lu Chang’sheng shrugged, "Left it to those kids."

Du Zhong raised an eyebrow, "They genuinely have a good master."

Especially the last three words, Du Zhong said with heavy emphasis.

Lu Chang’sheng, as if not noticing Du Zhong’s sarcasm, raised his chin, "Don’t they?"

Nuwa beside them chuckled lightly.

"Alright, alright, stop bantering, the matters ahead are not simple, prepare well, and we should soon open the tunnel to Outer Heaven."

Lu Chang’sheng asked, "Can I refuse?"

Du Zhong shook his head, "No."

"So, how do we open it?"

Du Zhong smiled, "First, go back for a trip."

Lu Chang’sheng was puzzled, "Back?"

"Take a trip back to Hidden Dao Academy."
