"Who is Jin Wuji?"
Seeing the little fox acting so wickedly, Bai Xiaole and the others were shocked.
The little fox was usually fearless, but upon hearing this name, its body trembled uncontrollably, and its eyes were filled with terror.
"How is that possible? Wasn't he supposed to fail to prove himself emperor, be blasted to death by the Emperor's Tribulation, and be reduced to ashes? The little fox screamed in terror, even its voice turning hoarse.
Long Chen and the others had never heard of Jin Wuji's name, not even the name of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan, but upon hearing the words "Emperor Proved," their hearts raced wildly.
The Emperor represents the strongest in a world, the supreme being who transcends all laws and order, truly standing tall above the mortal world, looking down on all beings.
On the Tianwu Continent, there were five Great Emperors in total. All of them knew Long Chen. Even though Long Chen was proud and aloof, he always held them in deep awe. Compared to them, he was like a firefly competing with the bright moon, seeming so insignificant.
Long Chen had always been proud, but never dared to claim to be equal to the Great Emperor, because they were idols he admired. Their compassion alone was something Long Chen could never achieve in his lifetime.
If Long Chen was the only one he dared to stand shoulder to, it was probably only Emperor Hanwei. Although the other four emperors treated Long Chen like a brother, giving him endless help and guidance.
But for some reason, while Long Chen only admired and felt grateful to the other four emperors, he genuinely felt a sense of closeness to Emperor Hanwei. Perhaps they were the same kind of people.
On the Tianwu Continent, the Five Emperors are the highest level of existence. Although there are also Three Sovereigns below them, Long Chen scoffs at them. In his view, the Three Sovereigns aren't even worthy of carrying shoes for the Five Emperors. There's a dimensional gap between them, and they simply can't be compared.
An emperor is an unsurpassable existence even in front of a powerhouse of Long Chen's level. Therefore, when everyone heard the words "proved emperor," their expressions changed.
They finally understood why Xiao Jiu, who feared nothing and everything, was so fearful.
"Lord Jingyuan, are you sure you're mistaken? In my inherited memories, Jin Wuji is already dead. He was blasted to death by the Emperor's Tribulation, so there's no chance of reincarnation." The little fox looked at Lord Jingyuan, his eyes full of anticipation. How he wished Lord Jingyuan had made a mistake.
Master Jingyuan said, "Your inherited memories have been artificially altered." "
You mean Jin Wuji is still alive?" The little fox's face turned ashen.
The Master of the Pure Courtyard shook his head and said, "This actually involves a secret. Back then, Jin Wuji unified the demon clan, forcing other demons to submit to him. In doing so, he gathered the entire clan's fortune to witness the emperor's tribulation."
He had planned everything perfectly, but during the tribulation, someone forcibly interrupted him, resulting in his failed ascension to emperor and the end of his Dao. "
Interrupted by force?"
Even Long Chen was left speechless this time. There was actually such a melodramatic event—could the Emperor's Tribulation be interrupted? How terrifying must this person be?
"You mean he's dead?" The little fox didn't care who interrupted it; it only cared whether Jin Wuji was dead.
"He died. However, because the imperial tribulation was interrupted, he knew he had no hope of becoming emperor. Before dying, he staked the fortune of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan to preserve his chance for reincarnation.
In the end, he won the bet. After successfully reincarnating, he chose to seal himself. According to my calculations, he would lift the seal when the Nine Heavens Connection was completed, striving for another chance to become emperor.
So, you need to think carefully about whether you should hide your strength before deciding to fight him to the death. "Master Jingyuan said.
Lord Jingyuan was always subtle, but this time, he made it clear, which was essentially a warning to the little fox. It was clear just how terrifying Jin Wuji was.
The little fox nodded and said, "I will hide my strength. If I don't ... it,"
"No need!"
Long Chen interrupted Xiao Jiu, who was stunned.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "There's really no need to hide or not. What's meant to happen will come. Do what you need to do. If you run into Jin Wuji, the boss will stand up for you." "
Boss..."
The little fox pressed its mouth shut, tears streaming uncontrollably. At this moment, it was so moved that it couldn't say a word.
Long Chen looked at Lord Jingyuan and said, "Sorry, Lord Jingyuan, please forgive my rudeness. Because the cultivation method I practice does not allow me to retreat, nor do I allow me to escape." "
This time, having cultivated the true Great Brahma Heaven Scripture from the Nine Heavens Passage, passed the true Nine-Star Disciples, and met the powerful figures of the imperial clan, Long Chen felt as if he had witnessed a brand-new world and truly recognized himself."
After comprehending the true essence of the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique, the Great Brahma Heaven Scripture, and the Dragon God Body Refining Technique, Long Chen became determined to walk his future path. He would continue on this path.
He wanted to return to his true self and restore his true nature. He wanted to reclaim the mindset he had when he first set out from the Fengming Empire. That was his weakest period, but also the time of his greatest confidence.
Within the Nine Heavens Passage, he understood that a person's strength does not depend on how many trump cards they have, but on whether they have the confidence to face any danger.
Lord Jingyuan smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Since you've made up your mind, it means you have absolute confidence. That's a good thing." "
Rest assured, Lord Jingyuan. As long as the opponent is at the same level as me, I have absolute confidence. This confidence is not blind but an iron rule forged through countless battles and will never change." Long Chen said confidently.
Hearing Long Chen's words, the Dragon Blood warriors were filled with passion. This was the leader in their hearts, and this iron rule also applied to the Dragon Blood Legion.
"By the way, Lord Jingyuan, could you tell us who interrupted Jin Wuji's Emperor Tribulation?" Long Chen asked, and the others also perked up their ears. They all wanted to know what was going on.
"That's just a coincidence. Mainly, Jin Wuji is quite unlucky. The cause and effect of this matter are too complicated to discuss.
As for that person's name, it was even more forbidden; revealing their name would shorten their lifespan. "Master Jingyuan said.
"Shorten your lifespan?"
Long Chen and the others were horrified. Uttering a single name would shorten their lifespan—this was too domineering and terrifying, even more terrifying than being tainted by karma.
"Getting off track!"
Suddenly, the head of the Pure Courtyard slapped his forehead: "I'm getting old, my mind isn't sharp, I almost forgot the main thing." As
he spoke, Lord Jingyuan took out an exquisite wooden box, which exuded an ancient aura—clearly an old item.
Opening the wooden box, there was a brocade handkerchief. To everyone's surprise, inside was a hairpin.
The hairpin was jet black all over, and on its head was a black bat. Though it was a hairpin for women, it radiated a fierce aura that made one's soul tremble.
Lord Jingyuan stared at the hairpin, standing there in a daze for a long time, as if lost in distant memories. After a long while, Lord Jingyuan looked at Long Chen and said, "
Child, I am entrusting you to help me with something in my own name."
