1484 Suspicion Of The Two Emperors And Their Uncle Master

The discussion of the three great experts was something that could shake the entire Rust Sky world, as its contents could be considered highly sensitive.

"If it's the Holy Topaz Empire, who is the likely culprit?" The Huiqing Emperor wondered.

"From what Sha'er and I felt, they are certainly a Transcendent Immortal." The old man replied.

"That much is given. And since they were able to scare the beast with just their bloodline, they must also have a strong bloodline." Emperor Feng spoke.

"That does reduce the candidates greatly…" the Huiqing Emperor muttered. "If its Transcendent Experts the Holy Topaz Empire only has two: The former emperor and the old ancestor." He stated.

"The former emperor does not have a beast bloodline." The old man spoke. "This is already an established fact as he is the emperor, he can only have the royal bloodline."

"That's correct." Emperor Feng nodded his head. "But what of the Old Ancestor?" he asked.

"Wouldn't be be the same if he is the Ancestor of the Holy Topaz Empire?" Huiqing Emperor asked.

"Not really…" The old man shook his head. "The Old Ancestor is an expert of a time before us. He isn't called the Old Ancestor for no reason."

"What do you mean?" The Huiqing Emperor asked. "Isn't he just one of the ancestors? All of our clans have them."

"No… it's different I then case of the Huiqing Empire. The old ancestor isn't just any ancestor, he is the ancestor who has survived even after several ancestors of younger generations of the Holy Topaz Empire has passed way." The old man spoke. "You can even say that the previous ancestors of the Holy Topaz Empire would have to call him an ancestor."

"This… how is it that we didn't know?" The Huiqing Emperor asked.

Since he was an emperor, there shouldn't be any information that was kept secret from him. And from looking at Emperor Feng, he could tell that the man was also in the dark about it.

"It isn't unusual." The old man replied. "The old ancestor of the Holy Topaz Empire has already withdrawn from the matters of his empire and this world. Not to mention, is longevity has already reached the edge."

"Wait! If he's a transcendent immortal too, shouldn't a transcendent tribulation come for him?" The Huiqing Emperor asked.

"No… He has frozen his longevity to survive." The old man said in a disappointed tone. "But at the same time it means that he is the same as a statue."

"What kind of technique is that?" The Huiqing Emperor was stunned.

He knew the value of a technique. After all, even if it left one as a statue, it would still be invaluable to keep one suspended for the future. Once that was done, one's descendants could look for opportunities to reinvigorate their ancestor.

"I don't know. It is something that we'll never find out. It could be from an n number of things. The old ancestor has explored other worlds and even gone to the Immortal court several times.

There are several avenues from where he could have obtained such a technique." The old man answered.

This information gave the two emperors quite a lot to think about.

"Hmmm… if its like this, then doesn't it mean that there is no such person in our world?" The Huiqing Emperor spoke.

"Indeed. And that only leaves on option…" Emperor Feng said as he looked up at the stars above him. "They have come from another world."

"An unauthorized entry? The Immortal Court will not allow for something like that to happen though." Huiqing Emperor said in doubt.

"There are many ways for one to overcome that, little nephew." The old man spoke. "You two chose to became the emperors of your land and thus restricted yourself to the limits of this world.

There are many experts that chose to wander the myriad of worlds for fortune and providence. It isn't unlikely for them to find an alternative method to enter our world." He explained.

After hearing this, the Huiqing Emperor couldn't help but grow silent.

"Will you assist us in this uncle?" Emperor Feng asked after a few minutes of silence.

"You two both know I am a neutral party here. I chose to break away from the matters of the Rust Sky world a long time ago. The only reason I informed you two of the transcendent expert was out of concern and my promise to your masters." The old man replied.

"Not to mention, you two are already stronger than me. I'm still stuck at the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm and do not dare to overcome the Transcendent Tribulation.

Do you really think I'll be able to do anything if an expert as strong as you acts against me?" the old man stated.

"Uncle Lao, you needn't fight with us." Emperor Feng shook his head. "What we need is your experience and knowledge." He added.

"Old Feng is right. Like you said, we two are have limited ourselves to the Rust Sky world and thus don't know as much as you, who has roamed many." Huiqing Emperor finally spoke. "If there is anyone that can figure out anything, it'll be you." He added.

Both the Emperors looked at their uncle master, making the old man sigh.

"Guess I'll only have myself to blame. I shouldn't have promised your masters." Old Man Lao shook his head. "Fine! I'll do it." He answered.

"Great!" The Huiqing Emperor exclaimed. "Where do we start, though?"

"The Holy Topaz Empire seems like a possible option. As for our own empires, that won't be an issue at all." Emperor Feng stated.

"Mmm, that won't be too hard, either. I already have someone in the Holy Topaz Empire as of now." Huiqing Emperor replied.

"Huh? Who'd you send there?" Old Man Lao asked. "And the Empire allowed you too?" he said in surprise.

"Of course, they wouldn't allow anyone if 'I' sent them. The one person who's there has gone of his own volition." The Huiqing Emperor replied. "It's one of my generals, Niu Juo." He revealed.

"Niu Juo… That half Orc giant?" The old man recalled something.

"Yes, him." The Huiqing Emperor nodded his head. "He's gone there to find a method of breaking through. Said he's reached a bottleneck in his body cultivation." He revealed.

Emperor Feng furrowed his brows and thought of something. "When did he go?"

"It's been a few months already." Huiqing Emperor replied. "Why?"

"It's just that, there were a few reports about the Holy Topaz Empire a couple of days ago." Emperor Feng replied.

"What kind of reports?" The Huiqing Emperor asked, finding it strange.

After all, if it was enough to reach the ears of an emperor, it must have been of some concern. Which also meant that he himself should have received a similar report.

'But there were no such reports… Niu Juo should have informed me too if there was something happening.' The Huiqing Emperor had a bad premonition.

"The report was mostly about rumors. There have been strange movements in the Middle Fort city. The information was mostly suppressed, but there is a great chance something has happened in the Desolate Blood battlefield." Emperor Feng answered.

"If they reached you, they aren't mere rumors, are they?" The Huiqing Emperor said, raising a brow.

"That would be the case normally. But this information wasn't brought to me by my usual informants." Emperor Feng replied.

"Then who told you this?" the Huiqing Emperor asked while Old Man Lao looked on in curiosity.

"My son did. He's been interested in the heirs of the Holy Topaz Empire for some reason and has been keeping tabs on them." Emperor Feng replied. "It just so happened that he spoke about this during our dinner a few days ago."

"You son… do you mean the crown prince?" Old man Lao asked.

"Yes." Emperor Feng nodded his head.

"Of course. He's the only one you would be willing to have dinner with. The others are not as accomplished." The Huiqing Emperor replied, a hint of desire in his voice. "I wish I had good heirs like that. Mine are just wastrels!" he complained.

"Isn't your crown prince already at the Fifth Tribulation stage of the immortal realm? And your crown princess at the fourth tribulation stage?" Old Man Lao said in confusion.

"Yeah! But they only do so by leeching of my resources and can't even do it quick enough. Can you believe they're four thousand years old and only at that level?" The Huiqing Emperor seemed to be quite disappointed with his children.

Though if other experts were to hear their conversations, they probably would have wanted to bury themselves in a hole. After all, a Four thousand year False Immortal was already a good achievement, not to mention someone that had reached Fourth of Fifth Tribulation stage of the Immortal realm!

It was evident that the standards of the emperors were far higher than the average expert.
