Chapter 2072: Chapter 891: I Guarantee You the Emperor of the Realm
"So, this Star Disaster, don’t overthink it. Just do what you need to do and don’t mess up your own pace! Of course, cultivation to improve your strength is always the top priority.
As for purchasing cultivation resources, buy them after you finish your enlightenment. The timing will be just about perfect," Deng Kui said.
"Thank you, Kui," Xu Jin replied.
"No problem. Hei’s brother is my brother! Besides, Hei said your combat power is strong and your potential is deep. In the future, old brother, I might need your help with something. If there’s anything, just tell me directly; the more direct, the better!"
Though Deng Kui spoke candidly, it was not off-putting at all for those who heard him.
After exchanging a few more words, Xu Jin saw Deng Kui off and started to take out a True Monarch Blood Crystal for enlightenment again.
The short-term primary goal: to fully perform and comprehend all the True Monarch Blood Crystals on hand, and to enhance the Law Path within the Chaos Cloud Tower as much as possible while continuously strengthening the Can Dou Star River.
Xu Jin believed that when the stars transformed from True Monarch Blood Crystals in the Can Dou Star River reached fifty, or even a hundred, they would surely elevate Xu Jin’s combat power to a new level.
Currently, there are only twelve stars of True Monarch Blood Crystal.
*****
Within the Star Island Commander Mansion of the Tongxuan Battle Zone, three Emperors—Kongyuan Emperor, Emperor Chiyang, Guicang Emperor—and the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment have been having a closed-door meeting for most of the day.
Guicang Emperor is considered the third person in the current Tongxuan Battle Zone, holding the position of Starl Island Guardian of the Tongxuan Battle Zone.
As for the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment, in some sense, he represents the status of the special envoy of the Emperor Dongxuan.
The meeting content naturally pertained to dealing with the Star Disaster.
Each person’s opinions differed.
Kongyuan Emperor’s opinion is to remain unchanged and adapt to changes, while Emperor Chiyang believes that defense must be strengthened, and Emperors must be dispatched. Neither could convince the other, and both had valid points.
Guicang Emperor and True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment listened to the opinions but did not express theirs.
Especially the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment, who appeared as if his spirit was elsewhere.
Yet, even so, it was inconvenient for the three Emperors to speak against the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment. The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment was very powerful, a Limit-breaking True Monarch, and also represented the Emperor.
However, they were unaware that the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment was communicating with Yu Kun Emperor through the Tongxuan Order at that very moment.
The primary topic of discussion was naturally the Star Disaster.
Mentioning the Star Disaster, Yu Kun Emperor had deep insights.
He was a lucky one during the last Star Disaster. At that time, he was just a Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch and seized a lot of opportunities, advancing all the way to Emperor.
He witnessed the rise of Emperor Dongxuan but also saw countless old friends turn into piles of bones or even left without a trace.
Those weaker than him, many died in battle.
Those who were stronger than him, even more, died in battle.
Talking about it with the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment now, they couldn’t help but lament.
"Yukun, you know about the Star Disaster! I don’t need to say more about the crisis of the Star Disaster, but the safest during the Star Disaster are still those Emperors of the Realm. You should have experienced this personally!"
"Indeed. Although some Emperors of the Realm fell due to the subsequent shifts in power, theoretically, as long as you don’t choose the wrong side, it’s still relatively easy for Emperors of the Realm to survive the Star Disaster!" Yukun Emperor said.
"Exactly. In the Tongxuan Imperial Palace, I’ve seen many records on this! So, Yukun, don’t you want to become an Emperor of the Realm?" the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment asked.
"Nonsense! Of course, I dream of it!
But the problem is, with the Star Disaster looming, even if I killed Xu Jin now, I might not necessarily obtain the Dongxuan Star Realm.
And any tiny trace of Xu Jin’s death linked to me would sever my association with the Dongxuan Star Realm." Yukun Emperor said.
This was the biggest disagreement between the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Yukun Emperor!
Initially, Yukun Emperor targeted Xu Jin to make the Dongxuan Star Realm perform poorly in the eyes of the Emperor so that the Emperor would reclaim control of this Great World of the Dongxuan Star Realm early, then seek to become its Emperor of the Realm.
But the unexpected outbreak of the Star Disaster changed many things and brought too many variables.
Even if Emperor Dongxuan reclaimed control of the Dongxuan Star Realm, the Emperor would most likely consider the position of Emperor of the Realm as a reward.
Whichever Emperor performed well would receive it.
This required risking one’s life.
The faster you charged, the faster you died.
This was the experience Yukun Emperor concluded from the last Star Disaster.
Moreover, after repeated failures targeting Xu Jin and losing two high-tier True Monarchs, Yukun Emperor wanted to withdraw.
One Eight Tribulations and one Space Seven Tribulations both fell, what more can be done?
Further action would require a Peak of Nine Tribulations or even an Emperor to act.
Emperors are not as common as cabbages.
In other words, further action would require him or Heavenly Punishment to act personally to ensure decisive control.
Heavenly Punishment would certainly not take such risks.
But as an Emperor of the Star River World, to enter the Star Ruins Battlefield without orders, would mean immense trouble if discovered.
Thus, he wanted to withdraw.
Giving up the kill wasn’t too bad.
But the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment was different.
The items on Xu Jin were more important and urgent for him now!
Whether it was the Star Killing Sword or the Thunder Chaos Material.
In the past, he could wait decades or centuries.
But now, he needed to acquire them in the shortest time possible to step upon the Emperor Path, hoping for a safe passage through the calamity of the Star Disaster!
And this led to the current offer.
Additionally, this was a plan that the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment had been calculating for a long duration.
"Yukun, if I say that I can help you secure the position of Emperor of the Realm of Dongxuan Star Realm shortly, would you be willing to continue pursuing Xu Jin?" asked the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment candidly.
This instantly shocked Yukun Emperor, "Heavenly Punishment, you mustn’t joke about such things! How certain are you?"
"Ninety-five percent!"
Within the Imperial Palace of the Tongxuan Domain, Yukun Emperor widened his eyes sharply upon seeing this three-word response, "Ninety-five percent, Heavenly Punishment, you must be kidding! Even the Lord’s young master couldn’t manage that."
"Yukun, I, Heavenly Punishment, never joke! As long as you follow my plan, I’m ninety-five percent sure that within five to ten years you will become the Emperor of the Realm of Dongxuan Star Realm.
But the premise is, you must help me capture Xu Jin alive and hand him over to me!" said the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment.
"Heavenly Punishment, I wish to become the Emperor of the Realm! But with all due respect, your proposal sounds more like mockery to me!
Ninety-five percent, how could that be possible!
That assurance requires, unless you’re an avatar of the Lord." Yukun Emperor stated, then he replied again, "Moreover, while I wish to kill Xu Jin, he’s currently within the Star Ruins, and I can’t even enter."
"As long as you agree, all issues can be resolved accordingly."
"This... Heavenly Punishment, can you tell me about your plan first?"
"Certainly!"
...
"Heavenly Punishment, I admire you, I’m truly impressed! To utilize the larger tide to such an extent, probably only you could achieve that! I’m convinced!
And I believe!
I’ve said before, I never joke!
The reason I claim to be ninety-five percent sure is only because there are too many variables, and I dare not guarantee it completely.
In my plan, it’s virtually flawless!
If you’d agree to my terms, I’ll start working on it now!" said the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment.
"Heavenly Punishment, I know you target Xu Jin, and you want him alive, then Xu Jin must have some treasure and secret that you need!
But to me, the position of Emperor of the Realm is worth more than any treasure and secret!
I agree!
I can even swear a Great Dao Oath that once I capture Xu Jin alive, I’ll deliver him to you!" promised Yukun Emperor.
"Great, I was waiting for you to say that; I’ll get started then."
...
At the Star Island Commander Hall of the Tongxuan Battle Zone, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment, who had been calm all along, suddenly spoke up, "Emperors, I believe, since the Daluo Ancestral Court has already issued a warning, we must take action and request for reinforcements.
If nothing is done and an accident occurs, when the Daluo Ancestral Court questions us then, who will take responsibility for this?
Who can bear it?"
The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment, worthy of being a close confidant of the central authority, in just one statement, left Kongyuan Emperor speechless, setting the direction decisively!
Immediately, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment personally took the helm and determined a plan to request reinforcements from the Emperor!
