Chapter 700: The New Ruler
Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
Within the Monarch Residence, in the cavern courtyard where Chen Jiu stayed, Xue Ying brought a flask of good wine with two to three lovely dishes to eat with Chen Jiu.
"I would never have thought that Monarch is willing to sit and eat with me." Chen Jiu chuckled.
"Still call me Monarch?" Xue Ying frowned.
"Hahaha, Dong Bo." Chen Jiu laughed, "That time when we went to the Xia Clan Crimson Rock Mountain, I was lamenting how you could reach Jian Huang, Meishan Clan Master, Lord You Lan and my standard in just 200 years. If you died in the Crimson Rock Mountain with that power, it'd be truly regretful since your comprehension talent is way much higher than us all."
"Now that I see, it seems that my foresight is accurate. After curing the hex poison, with the cultivation technique guidance left behind by that powerful existence of Crimson Rock Mountain, your improvement surged tremendously, becoming the most heaven-shattering person in your Xis Clan with a single fell swoop during that war. You have even become the disciple of the God-Emperor after entering the Deity world. In just a short 10 million years, you have exceeded most powerful existences in becoming the new ancestor."
Chen Jiu shook his head with melancholy: "If someone dared to tell me that this brat who had been inflicted with hex poison will become the new ancestor, and is much stronger than many powerful existences, I would say that he is mad. Haha…"
Xue Ying chuckled as he listened.
Time passed quickly.
Those matters on the Xia Clan World felt like yesterday. For the sake of that war with Great Demonic God and Sorcerer God, even his wife, Jing Qiu had almost died. Fortunately, Forefather Scarlet Flame was there to help. Even now, Xue Ying was filled with gratitude towards Forefather Scarlet Flame.
"I've returned to the Deity world." Chen Jiu said, "Hearing your matter and how wide the difference in our power is getting, I told myself I would never find you if I do not become a World Deity."
"Why the need?" Xue Ying shook his head.
Chen Jiu chuckled.
"I know that you had a true love when you were a Transcendent. You loved her very much, so if you are willing, I can request for a powerful existence to reincarnate her." Xue Ying said.
Chen Jiu was stunned. There was a slight pain in his eyes.
"There's no need." Chen Jiu shook his head.
"No need?" Xue Ying was surprised. He had been investigating in the dark and helping Chen Jiu behind the scenes. Thus, he was extremely familiar with his circumstances. 'Chen Jiu' could be said to be someone easily infatuated with a person. After his wife died, he had even become slightly deranged. Furthermore, it had always been the case over these years.
Chen Jiu smiled, "That time, I wanted to reincarnate my wife without caring about the price, but I was too weak. How could I find any powerful existence for help? Dong Bo, you were only a supervisor envoy then, and there was no need for me to seek you for help. But… over the years, time is ruthless. I have unknowingly changed over the years."
"I am no longer sad. I only feel that she is by my side, living in my heart for eternity." Chen Jiu chuckled, "I am not in a rush to reincarnate her. I have become a World Deity now, and will reach stage two and then stage three in the future… there might even be hopes of becoming a powerful existence one day. I could always reincarnate my wife when the day comes."
"If I can't do it, I could always request you, Dong Bo, for help." Chen Jiu mentioned, "Dong Bo if you are willing to help me, I'll be thankful for it."
Xue Ying nodded.
He felt that Chen Jiu's character was still somewhat deranged. But it ultimately depended on the other party's decision when helping out in relationship matters.
"Dong Bo, do you know the situation of Jian Huang and Meishan Clan Master currently?" Chen Jiu asked.
"They are Reincarnators from the Temporal Temple. What do you think their circumstances could be?" Xue Ying shook his head, "My relationship with the Temporal Island is dull. If I were to lend a helping hand, I might be harming them instead."
...
Within a vast starry sky.
"Hong~"
There was an incomparably huge array covering a total of five trillion kilometers wide, enshrouding this starry sky. Many veined patterns were swimming away in the starry sky, and these veins were emitting either a frightening flame power or an extremely cold water strength. The water and fire were constantly flowing in the starry sky and clashing against each other time after time.
"Hong hong hong hong hong hong!"
The frightening water and fire powers were clashing against each other, generating void energy. This void energy seemed weak, but it had an extremely destructive nature… even Rulers would not dare to withstand against it with their bodies. The moment they did, Rulers would die instantly. This was the 'Void Twin Extreme Array' constructed by 'Bloodshed God-Emperor' after he reached a higher level without heeding the price. Even the aloof and arrogant Primal Master knew that Bloodshed God-Emperor was very close to stepping across that crucial boundary since he had comprehended this technique.
The void energy was slowly sending ripples out. The ripples were striking at the array covering the vast starry sky. This piece of starry sky was being shattered again and again.
At the core of this huge array, the crimson-robed Bloodshed God-Emperor was seated cross-legged. He was controlling this scary array without being worried if the enemies would come attacking. With the power of the 'Void Twin Extreme Array', even several Rulers would die if they came. It's a pity that this 'Void Twin Extreme Array' had a huge flaw– the movement was slow. Enemies could easily evade it.
There was no choice. He had not stepped across that boundary, and borrowing on external materials to construct this array was surprising enough.
'Even though I have to move the array every single time when searching doing a carpet search, we will find their base in time.' Bloodshed God-Emperor's eyes were cold, 'A few million years of time is enough to search through the entire ten-starfields-big area. Our Cultivator Cosmos will not allow existences from other cosmos to act so rampantly.'
"Hu."
Suddenly outside the vast array, a figure appeared. He was a bald golden-robed barefooted male. The aura he was emitting could faintly cause every existence around him to pay allegiance. Even the world was paying allegiance to him. His eyes were unbelievably serene.
"Mn?" Bloodshed God-Emperor who was located within the Void Twin Extreme Array turned around. He could not help but be startled: "Monarch Green?"
"Teacher." The bald golden-robed male chuckled.
"You, you have?" Bloodshed God-Emperor felt this eldest disciple of his had utterly transformed. The past Monarch Green was reserved and had given an aura that made others have an urge to pay allegiance to him. And the current Monarch Green… was now emitting an oppressive aura which forced everything to give in to him. Even the world was giving in.
Furthermore, the past Monarch Green would wear a gray robe, and his hair was messy.
Now, he was wearing a more luxuriant-looking golden gown, and was even bald?
More importantly…
Bloodshed God-Emperor could feel the aura emanating from his eldest disciple being entirely different. It was much more majestic and grand.
"You have broken through?" Bloodshed God-Emperor asked.
Monarch Green nodded with a smile: "I was lucky to send an avatar into another cosmos. Those living beings on the other cosmos are vastly different. I could not even cultivate their cultivation system. However… examining them in the dark for many years, I was able to gain something eventually before breaking through to the Ruler realm."
"Hahaha, great, great, great!" Bloodshed God-Emperor revealed a joyous look: "Your teacher is currently employing the Void Twin Extreme Array to search through every crook and cranny for the base of the Ancestor Mother Religion. They will eventually retaliate. Thus, for you to become a Ruler at this moment allows for our Cultivator Cosmos to become overall stronger."
"If Teacher has anything you need me to do, just tell me." Monarch Green mentioned.
...
After Xue Ying returned from that world, he told his wife about how he had gotten seven absolute arts. Jing Qiu might be shocked, but she had chosen an absolute art regardless. Absolute arts were beneficial towards transcending!
After examining his disciples, he felt that they should continue to temper themselves further. Thus, he had temporarily not imparted the absolute arts to them.
"What."
Xue Ying who was currently discussing sword techniques with his wife had a considerable change in his expression; he was much shocked.
"What happened?" Jing Qiu was slightly startled too.
"I've just gotten the news." Xue Ying answered, "That my Eldest Disciple Brother Monarch Green has become a Ruler."
Jing Qiu was stunned.
Even though Monarch Green could fight against Rulers as a Paragon, breaking through that final step was tough. Even Pang Yi had broken through only after creating his new cultivation technique! And now, Monarch Green had broken through? Pang Yi and Monarch Green–one after another. That was fast.
"It seems that I'll have to go congratulate him after a few days." Xue Ying sighed while laughing at the same time, "My eldest disciple brother has accumulated a huge foundation, so it is normal for him to break through eventually."
"We will have to prepare a congratulatory gift if that's the case." Jing Qiu mentioned.
The news of Pang Yi breaking through was publicized.
Xue Ying and the others would have to give him a congratulatory gift if they visited him.
Many would congratulate those who became powerful existences. Such a huge matter of becoming a Ruler… was something to be celebrated!
...
After a few days, Monarch Green had sent out invitation letters unbridled–he had given out a letter to all Rulers and powerful existences regardless if they were from the Deity world or Abyss. This way of doing things made Xue Ying gasped, "My eldest disciple brother is usually simple living and low-profile. Why is he so ostentatious this time?"
But he still prepared a gift and brought along his wife and children to attend the feast hosted by Monarch Green.
