#2512 - If the Emperor wants you to die, you have to die!

Young Master Hua and the experts beside him arrived at a desolate wilderness.

With the naked eye, one couldn't discern anything, but upon entering a certain area, the entire vista changed dramatically.

After the space twisted, a rift in the boundary road appeared in their line of sight.

This was the passage through which they had come to this world.

"Young Master Hua, how are we to transmit messages back?"

The expert beside Young Master Hua wore a troubled expression.

Transmitting messages back through the boundary road was no easy task.

After all, their world and the heavens where the God-Ancient World was located did not share the same origin.

If it were an envoy sent by the sect, possessing a special secret art imprint, they could exchange messages with the sect across the boundary road.

However, he and Young Master Hua were not dispatched by the sect and did not possess any special imprint for contact.

"When did this Young Master say we would transmit messages back in such a manner?

This Young Master's intention is for you to return to the sect through the boundary road and bring the message back."

"I…"

That expert was speechless, his face filled with reluctance.

He had initially come with Young Master Hua, without the sect's approval.

Now, if he were to return alone, without Young Master Hua to shield him, given his status and position in the sect, he feared he would be punished…

"This Young Master knows what you're thinking.

Worried about being punished by the sect?

Rest assured, you haven't committed any major crime; at most, you'll be confined for introspection.

Although it won't be pleasant, it will pass with endurance.

When I return, I will naturally help you have the punishment lifted."

"This… alright then."

The man had nothing to say; he knew he had no choice but to return.

Subsequently, under Young Master Hua's gaze, he entered the world rift and disappeared.

"Hmm, I wonder how many people who can maintain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm the sect will send next time.

This boundary road clearly has the impact of this realm's order; exceeding the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal realm will be sensed and not allowed to descend at that level…

If it were a method used by a sect expert, then the previous batches wouldn't have sent Nine Heavens Saint Immortal realm people.

Could it be the means of that Supreme Existence?

If that's the case, I wonder if the sect can secure another opportunity…"

Young Master Hua sat down cross-legged before the world rift, gazing at the boundary road passage, lost in thought.

"A low-level cultivation civilization world, yet it has caused my Azure Water Sect to suffer repeated setbacks, truly hateful!

If not for this boundary road's restrictions and the protection of the Heavenly Dao's order, not to mention that Jun Wu Xie and the alliance, even ten thousand Jun Wu Xies wouldn't be enough for my Azure Water Sect to deal with in one breath!

Hmm, without the need for others from my sect to take action, if my realm weren't restricted by the order, a single finger could crush that detestable fellow!"

Young Master Hua recalled the scene from that day, his chest heaving with anger.

He regarded this matter as the greatest disgrace of his life.

What was his realm, yet he had almost died at the hands of a Divine realm cultivator; it was simply the greatest irony!

If he could swallow this humiliation, what was the point of his cultivation; he might as well bash his head and die!

…

Time passed in the blink of an eye, several days later.

In the Heavenly Astral Great World, a certain place of outstanding talent.

Here, the mountains are perpetually shrouded in mist and clouds, white clouds float in the sky, and the world's spiritual energy is extremely dense.

Ancient trees soar to the sky within the mountain range, the mountains are lush green, and waterfalls and clear springs all exude spiritual energy.

Within the vast mountain range, in a certain area, surrounded by mountains on all sides, in the middle is a large lake of emerald green.

The clear lake water reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and also reflects a mountain range suspended in the sea of clouds.

That mountain range is not on the ground, but floating in the air.

On that mountain range, there are many ancient and imposing buildings, palaces and halls, stretching and undulating, very grand, giving people a sense of majesty and a thick accumulation of years.

This is where the Azure Water Sect's sect is located.

Within that floating mountain range, deep within the Azure Water Sect, a place of pilgrimage, quite solemn and sacred.

Here stands an ancient hall, built of bluestone, carved with Dao patterns, forming patterns, and filled with an aura of majesty.

This place is the manifestation ground of the Azure Water Sect.

At this time, the Master of the Azure Water Sect, along with several high-level figures, was standing respectfully in the ancient hall, bowing to the huge shrine directly above the ancient hall.

Within the shrine was a statue whose face could not be seen clearly.

The statue's face was shrouded in the mist of the Great Dao, making it impossible to look directly at it.

Even a powerhouse like the Azure Water Sect Master was incomparably respectful and fearful before the shrine.

Only because that was the Emperor's Image.

In the Heavenly Astral Great World, every force has a place of pilgrimage, all with Emperor Images enshrined.

It is said that doing so can obtain the blessing of an Emperor realm powerhouse, making the sect or family's fortune prosperous.

"That person is actually much stronger than this Emperor anticipated; since that is the case, this Emperor will bestow upon your Azure Water Sect a few more Emperor Talismans.

Remember, you must not fail again this time.

Similarly, lock onto the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm; disciples of different levels have varying strengths.

Your Azure Water Sect's opportunity is before your eyes; whether you can seize it depends entirely on yourselves."

The shrine statue emitted a majestic voice.

"The Azure Water Sect receives the Supreme Great Emperor's decree!"

The Azure Water Sect Master and the others all knelt down, their foreheads touching the ground, their bodies trembling slightly.

"Go."

Several rays of brilliant light flew out from the shrine statue, hovering in front of the Azure Water Sect Master.

The dazzling light gradually subsided.

Those were several Emperor Talismans surrounded by Great Dao patterns.

"Yes!"

The Azure Water Sect Master and the others retreated on their knees to the entrance of the ancient hall before standing up and leaving.

The hall door automatically closed with a rumble.

The entire hall fell into silence.

After a long while, the majestic voice echoed in the hall as if speaking to itself, "Who exactly is that person, to have such heaven-defying abilities, killing a Great Luo Golden Immortal realm cultivator while in the Divine realm, truly making this Emperor feel puzzled.

The matter instructed by that Existence, the information is vague; could it be that even he doesn't know?"

This Emperor realm powerhouse, who commands the Azure Water Sect, does not know Jun Wu Xie's origins at all.

But he had long suspected that he must be the reincarnation of some powerful existence.

Otherwise, that mysterious existence would not have asked himself and other Emperor realm powerhouses to kill a low-realm figure.

He had once deduced and tried to peer through the two realms to glimpse the truth, but as a result, his mind was shrouded in mist, almost causing him to lose his six senses, shocking him into a cold sweat.

This person should be the opponent that Existence feared in the past.

In this life, his growth is obviously far beyond his previous life.

Never has it been heard that anyone could kill a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Divine realm; such a thing, for that realm, is simply appalling!

"Regardless of who you were in your past life, you are too weak now; if the Emperor wants you to die, you must die!

If you grow up and step into the Emperor realm one day, learn the cause and effect of this matter, and come to seek revenge, that would be terrible; I'm afraid this Emperor would not be at peace…"

The voice gradually subsided, and the ancient hall returned to silence.

The light of the shrine gradually faded.

Only the statue in the shrine still had its face obscured by the mist of the Great Dao, making it impossible to see its face.

That Emperor realm powerhouse's divine sense had already left.

On the Azure Water Sect Master's side, after he and several high-level figures left the ancient hall, they did not stop for a moment and immediately ordered each branch to summon all the true disciples currently in the sect to the sect's main hall.

There are many true disciples in each branch of the sect, but most of them are cultivating outside, seeking their own opportunities and fortunes, and very few remain in the sect.

Usually, only those who have gained opportunities and fortunes outside will choose to return to the sect to cultivate in seclusion, refining resources or comprehending opportunities.

After all, the outside world is not safe, especially when comprehending, one needs to be fully immersed in it, and once interrupted, it will cause bad consequences.

Even more likely, because of the reduced perception of the outside world during cultivation, one may be successfully ambushed and lose one's life.

However, even though the true disciples currently in the sect account for a very small proportion of all the true disciples, in terms of numbers, they are actually not few.

In the past, they were indeed underestimating the enemy, leading to the failure to complete the task given to them by the Supreme Great Emperor.

Who would have thought that a mere Divine realm cultivator would have such heaven-defying abilities?

To defy the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the Divine realm is inconceivable, like a fantasy, too outrageous; even mythological stories dare not write like this!

Because throughout the ancient and modern worlds, in all the heavens and universes, there has never been heard of such a heaven-defying person!

The Azure Water Sect Master had to admit that the youth named Jun Wu Xie in the God-Ancient World, which he considered to have a backward cultivation civilization, had completely broken his cognitive limits on the abilities of Divine realm cultivators!

This time, he could not make mistakes again!

Before, it was information asymmetry; he never thought that the Divine realm could be so strong!

Now, he already understood the strength of that Jun Wu Xie and could not make such low-level mistakes again!

This time, he would send true disciples to the God-Ancient World!

The true disciples of each branch are all outstanding talents who have emerged from millions of elite disciples of each branch, and each of them is a powerhouse who has stepped into the Thousand Autumn Myth realm!

They have extremely high talent, and their realms are basically in the Great Luo Immortal Monarch realm!

If not for the boundary road's restrictions and the God-Ancient order's forced suppression of realm, any true disciple going to the God-Ancient World would be enough to crush that Jun Wu Xie with a single finger!

Thinking of this, the Azure Water Sect Master couldn't help but shake his head.

If the Heavenly Dao order of the God-Ancient World would not forcibly suppress the realm, he would have wanted to cross the border personally, regardless of his identity and status, to kill that person!

After all, this was the Supreme Great Emperor's decree!

"Sect Master, our disciples have all arrived; what exactly is the matter that requires all the true disciples in the sect to be called here?"

Several middle-aged men entered side by side, their eyes sharp, the power of the Dao flowing on their bodies, and a layer of azure immortal light flowing on the surface of their clothes.

"The task given by the Supreme Existence has failed!"

The Azure Water Sect Master said in a deep voice, his expression solemn.

Losing a few disciples was nothing.

After all, the strongest of those disciples was only at the bottom of the core disciples.

Their bloodline talent was not very outstanding, and their Divine Forbidden Domain was only in the late stage of the Ten Directions Myth.

However, he was very concerned that the mission's failure would negatively impact the sect's image in the eyes of the Supreme Great Emperor.

Fortunately, the Great Emperor did not issue an imperial punishment to reprimand the sect for its poor performance.

Heaven knows how apprehensive he was kneeling before the Emperor's statue in the shrine.

"What? This… how is this possible!"

"How could this be?"

"The disciples we sent to the Godly Ancient World were core disciples! The cultivation civilization in the Godly Ancient World is backward, with the strongest being only at the God Realm!

Our disciples were protected by the Emperor's Talisman, capable of locking in the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm. How could they be defeated in that barbaric land?"

… …

The heads of the various branches of the Azure Water Sect all found it unbelievable!

This matter was simply too absurd!

A Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm cultivator descending into such a world should be an absolutely invincible existence, sweeping across the starry skies, suppressing the universe, overlooking all living beings, and controlling the rise and fall of heaven and earth!

But they failed. Not only did they fail to complete the mission of killing the target, but they were also killed!

"Sect Master, what exactly is going on?"

The heads of the various branches found it hard to believe and couldn't understand how the disciple sent, who could lock in the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, had fallen.

"If you find it hard to believe, how could the Sect Master not?

But the fact is just that!

They were all killed by Jun Wuxie!"

"But Jun Wuxie is only…"

"That's right! He is only at the God Realm, but he did indeed kill the people we sent!

Regardless of how he did it, that is the truth!

We should not dwell on how he did it now, but rather focus on how to resolve his matter as soon as possible!"
