Chapter 676: Chapter 676 Negotiation_1
“To sense the Dao with one’s being, to merge with the Dao through oneself, every word and action representing the will of the heavens, my heart is Tianxin, this is what it means to be a Saint.”
“The ancient Immortal Emperors held the view ‘I am all there is, my fate is mine to command, not heaven’s to dictate.’ Each Immortal Emperor tried to rise above everything. However, in reality, the will of the heavens cannot be defied. Who doesn’t wish to tread on the heavens? Yet, even Saints are beneath the heavenly Dao, and above it, the Great Dao is clear and bright, indestructible across countless calamities.”
Flowers Celestial Master spoke slowly.
Qin Changqing was beginning to understand.
“The Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm do not reign supreme over the Immortal World, and the Immortal Court is merely a force for coordination and management. The true rulers of the Immortal World are the Saints standing above the Nine Heavens.”
Flowers Celestial Master continued.
Above the Nine Heavens!
In the perception of ordinary Immortals, above the Nine Heavens lies the Outer Heaven Realm.
But in reality, above the Nine Heavens resides the true sovereign of the entire Immortal World.
The pinnacle of the Immortal World’s martial force.
Saints!
“Between Saints and Immortal Emperors, who is more powerful?”
Qin Changqing asked.
“As of now, it must be said that the Immortal Emperors are the stronger, they’re probably equivalent to the Great Dao Saints. Regrettably, the current Immortal World has evolved for too brief a period, and the strongest of the current Saints are but the Saints of the heavenly Dao.”
Flowers Celestial Master revealed more secrets.
She had never spoken of these matters to Qin Changqing before.
Now, perhaps feeling the time was ripe, she informed Qin Changqing.
The Immortal World now, has its evolution been brief?
The existence of the current Immortal World has been, at the very least, for hundreds of millions of years.
However, from the perspective of the Saints, compared to the ancient era that had Immortal Emperors, it does indeed seem somewhat brief.
“The Cultivation Techniques she created, whether in the current Immortal World, Devil Immortal Realm, or Monster Immortal Realm, no one can develop such methods. Therefore, Qin Changqing, this Ancient Emperor is certainly not so easy to deal with,”
Flowers Celestial Master added.
She was still concerned about the Ancient Emperor.
Nevertheless, the Emperor Scripture created by this Ancient Emperor was truly rare throughout the ages.
With just a single Cultivation Technique, one could fully and flawlessly resurrect oneself without any fault.
After the resurrection, one could perfectly integrate into a new era.
This Ancient Emperor was truly formidable beyond words.
How powerful she must have been in the past.
If it hadn’t been for encountering a Semi-Saint upon her resurrection, by now she likely would have completed a full revival and grown to uncharted levels.
At this moment, suddenly.
A twist of fate occurred.
Yu Wei, who had been sitting in meditation this whole time… suddenly opened her eyes! The moment Qin Changqing locked eyes with her, he realized… the consciousness of the Ancient Emperor had broken free.
And perhaps because her counterattack was too fierce, as soon as she broke free, she seized control of her body.
“She’s awake!”
The expression of Flowers Celestial Master became stern.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Qin Changqing had already made his preparations.
Although many Immortal Leaders had left, the Divine Continent Heaven still housed the Moon God and Flowers Celestial Master.
The Ancient Emperor, as powerful as she once was, belonged to the past.
Now, even if she, after resurrection, completely resolves the situation with Rain Wei Immortal Master and inherits everything from Yu Wei, she remains but a Semi-Saint.
The powerful methods she once had may not necessarily be deployable in this era.
Finally.
The times have changed!
To be able to resurrect through a Cultivation Technique is already defying the heavens.
To defy the heavens to such a degree is enough, one cannot go any further.
“You, well done,”
said the Ancient Emperor, looking at Qin Changqing and uttering three words.
Once upon a time, as an Immortal Emperor, for countless years, no one could best her.
Yet this time, Qin Changqing had managed to outmaneuver her.
At this time, her aura began to grow cold again.
Yu Wei was fighting back.
Over this past year, Yu Wei had been reclaiming lost ground and had already gained the upper hand.
The Ancient Emperor had just taken over the control of the body because her liberation was met with an arrogance that Yu Wei Immortal Master didn’t want to contend with for the time being.
“Rain Wei Immortal Master, let me talk to her.”
Qin Changqing spoke.
His words had an effect.
The surge in Yu Wei’s breath came to a halt, and the one controlling the body once again became the Ancient Emperor.
“Immortal Leader, I would like to speak with her alone. You don’t need to worry about my safety,”
Qin Changqing said to the Flowers Celestial Master again.
There were many things that were inconvenient to discuss with the Flowers Celestial Master present.
After all, this was Qin Changqing’s home turf, and besides, it wouldn’t be easy for the Ancient Emperor to harm him now.
Yu Wei would not allow it.
A year’s time was still a bit too short.
It was not enough time for Yu Wei to completely eliminate the threat of the Ancient Emperor.
But during this year, Yu Wei had accomplished a great deal; now, she could take the upper hand.
The only worry was this.
If the Ancient Emperor decided on a scorched earth policy, then Yu Wei’s soul might suffer a heavy blow.
Even as a Semi-Saint, if the soul sustains heavy damage, it’s an exceptionally troublesome affair; even if it can be repaired, advancing further becomes difficult.
Therefore, the best choice was not to fight.
It was to negotiate with the Ancient Emperor.
To persuade her to leave on her own.
If things could be resolved with words, that would be for the best.
“Alright, if something goes wrong, let me know at once,”
the Flowers Celestial Master left.
In the room, only Qin Changqing and the Ancient Emperor remained.
The Ancient Emperor’s gaze became somewhat dangerous.
She seemed ready to act if they couldn’t reach an agreement.
This kind of gaze did not intimidate Qin Changqing.
With a gesture from Qin Changqing’s hand, his throne, as if made of gold, appeared behind him.
Qin Changqing sat down.
“Let’s talk while sitting,”
Qin Changqing said with a smile.
After lingering on Qin Changqing’s face for a while,
finally, a throne also materialized behind the Ancient Emperor.
She sat down, crossed her legs, and her demeanor became lax and casual once more.
“What do you want to discuss?”
she asked.
Qin Changqing moved his hand, and an image appeared before them.
This was a view outside of Divine Continent Heaven.
“This is the Immortal World,”
he said.
The Ancient Emperor’s eyes moved to the image; it seemed she had anticipated this.
Her eyes did not show much surprise.
“And then?”
she asked.
Her tone was still somewhat carefree.
“Even if you were once the Immortal Emperor, you don’t have any other options now. The only thing that could make us wary is if you choose mutual destruction, but even with that choice, you can’t kill Yu Wei. At most you would hurt her, and you would not survive.”
Qin Changqing said.
The other party was the Ancient Emperor; surely she could see this clearly.
Her only leverage now was the threat of mutual harm with Yu Wei.
“You’ve analyzed it well,”
the Ancient Emperor said indifferently.
This attitude seemed as if she was the one with the advantage.
“So, your best option now is to cooperate with us,”
Qin Changqing said.
“Cooperate?”
The Ancient Emperor’s eyes showed a hint of amusement.
“That means, you can help me find a body and soul comparable to hers? Even if you did, the possession would nowhere near match the current situation.”
The Ancient Emperor seemed disinterested.
Qin Changqing shook his head, “No, your best option is to reincarnate. If the reincarnation is successful, your circumstances will be improved a thousandfold compared to now.”
