The imperial aura froze and made them feel like drowning mortals.
âAncestor Ten-realm!â The two saw a handsome youth approach.@@novelbin@@
Ten different regions floated around him. The inhabitants worshipped him like a god.
He was the most talented and strongest emperor in Desolate Frontier. He was the successor of the Chen, rumored to take the eleventh-generation spot. His becoming a primal ancestor was only a matter of time.
After inheriting Tenth-gen Chenâs legacy, he would have a strong shot at becoming a supreme overlord.
Although considerably younger, he was stronger than Crimson Virtue Emperor, only one step away from obtaining a primal anima.
âAlch-deer, you have improved dramatically.â He said.
Alch-deer admitted that Ten-realm Emperor was the number one in the sect right now. The second rank, Crimson Virtue, didnât come close in power or talent.
âI recall when we first met, you were a fawn dropping paralyzed to the ground upon seeing people. Yet in just a short time, you became an emperor. Looks like the young generation will surpass us in time.â Ten-realm commented.
With regard to actual age, Ten-realm might be younger than the deer demon. Thus, although it sounded as if he was praising Alch-deer, he was reminding him of the difference in talent.
Alch-deer nodded and said: âYes, when we first met, Ancestor, you looked like an unreachable god. You were my target for a long time, I dreamed of becoming as strong as you.â
âYou might just do that in the future.â Ten-realm smiled.
Despite the polite conversation, his aura and gaze still made it uncomfortable for Alch-deer.
âYour dao foundation has boundless potential. Why not visit Centurial Peak, perhaps you will gain something there.â He continued.
Huntblade heard the recruitment attempt and became alarmed. Alch-deer might be a new emperor but he had many students, being in charge of Hundred Peak.
âAre you saying Iâm not strong enough?â Ten-realm added more pressure.
Alch-deer nearly lost his footing. The disparity was too great; the opponent could kill him in the blink of an eye.
However, he straightened his spine and met Ten-realmâs gaze: âAncestor, it is up to you whether believe us or not. Just like how we are insects unable to gaze into the progenitorâs truths.â
âThere is no immortal after the progenitor.â Goldclad and Lostmetal thought Alch-deer was exaggerating.
âYou still donât recognize your folly. I have asked my ancestor and searched the past, such an ancestor does not exist.â Ten-realm said.
âBelieving and giving the plants are your choice. We are only messengers.â Alch-deer waved his hand.
âSince youâre here, send a message for me then.â Ten-realm said: âTell this so-called ancestor to leave Desolate Frontier before itâs too late. If he continues to cause trouble here, it will not go unpunished.â
âAncestor, you are being disrespectful.â Huntblade said seriously.
âDisrespectful? Then do you have any evidence proving this ancestorâs identity? If not, then change your stance already.â Ten-realm said.
The two messengers firmly believed in Li Qiyeâs identity. Therefore, this was unacceptable.
âAncestor, you are committing a heinous crime by disobeying.â Alch-deer said.
âAlch-deer, you are so courageous now but if you insist on going down the wrong path, not even Crimson Virtue can protect you.â Ten-realm said.
âYou are out of line, Ancestor.â Huntblade barked back.
âGo send the message to your ancestor now. Do not make me pursue this any further.â Ten-realm declared.
âNo need, I prefer not delivering such an unfilial message. Please conduct yourself differently, Ancestor.â Alch-deer refused.
