Chapter 939 - 943: Coercion

This was Wu Tian’s first time seeing the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. At this level of power, the Emperor was already protected by Dragon Qi,

Of course, when one becomes Emperor, they are shielded by Dragon Qi. Once they abdicate, the protection of the Dragon Qi will not be theirs anymore.

Nine is the ultimate number of the heavens, the greatest power, that is, the dynasty of the Nine Star Forces. Yes, it must be a dynasty, and its emperor shall be guarded by Nine Dragons Protectorate,

whereas the emperors of the Upper Realm are protected by Ziwei True Qi.

In Wu Tian’s view, this Emperor should at least be guarded by three dragons.

Seven Star Forces, yet only guarded by three dragons,

One must admit,

this Emperor has somewhat failed.

"Are you Young Friend Wu Tian?" The Emperor looked at Wu Tian and noticed in his eyes a complete lack of the common people’s reverence for their monarch, making him frown slightly. He snorted and asked.

"Young Friend?" Wu Tian stared at the Emperor in front of him and couldn’t help but laugh. The laugh left the Emperor dumbfounded, with the civil and military officials bewildered,

unsure of Wu Tian’s meaning.

But Wu Tian’s next words were shocking: "In terms of seniority, I’m of your father’s generation."

Poof!

The Emperor was furious, wanting to say something, but Huangfu Meimu stepped forward: "Indeed, that’s the case. He is my lifelong friend, so his saying he’s of your father’s generation is not wrong."

The Emperor’s eyes burned with anger, but since his father said so, what could he do?

Daji smiled slightly: "This is your blessing. You should be grateful."

The civil and military officials were immediately in an uproar.

The Emperor glanced at Daji, subconsciously narrowing his eyes. He realized he couldn’t fathom the level of Spiritual Power on her. Generally, Spiritual Energy is always externally visible, and from this faint exuding energy, one could determine a person’s realm,

Of course, Wu Tian was an exception. Wu Tian’s Immortal Spiritual Power was different. In the eyes of the Emperor and others, it might still be considered as Spiritual Power,

at the Second Rank of the Heavenly King Realm. But judging Wu Tian’s realm with this was severely mistaken.

"Last night, someone among you created the ’First’," the Emperor brought the topic back, his expression solemn.

The ’First’ is extremely important to any faction.

If one could obtain the ’First’

that faction would undoubtedly prosper, and national ascent might not be difficult.

"Yes, someone among us created the ’First’, but it seems to have nothing to do with you," Wu Tian shrugged,

One’s esteemed status as an Emperor did not warrant respect or serious attention from him,

It could be said that in Wu Tian’s pair of starry eyes, those worthy of his serious regard were very few.

Huangfu Qilin stood aside, not expecting anyone to be so bold before a monarch, feeling that Wu Tian was courting death. Didn’t he know the principle of accompanying a monarch as accompanying a tiger?

No matter what backing you have, facing the monarch requires utmost respect; otherwise, death awaits.

Huangfu Qilin was confident as he stood aside, knowing the future imperial throne of the Celestial Dynasty must be his,

It must be known that his mother is not the current Queen but a Noble Consort,

Yet, this Noble Consort’s status was not ordinary, because she came from the Human Daoist Sect.

Now, the Human Daoist Sect works for the Undead Martial Sovereign, obtaining the Dharma bestowed by him, the Human Daoist Sect will grow stronger, and even the Celestial Dynasty must pay respect in the future.

Huangfu Qilin knew Wu Tian might be related to the Wutian Celestial Emperor, and he also wanted to capture these people to yield them to the Human Daoist Sect in exchange for the Dharma bestowed by the Undead Martial Sovereign.

Many people remain grateful to the Wutian Celestial Emperor for the blessings he granted the Human Clan,

such as the emergence of Dao,

Buddha,

Dynasties,

as well as printing and papermaking,

causing many gratitude-aware forces to superficially comply with yet covertly resist the Undead Martial Sovereign’s orders, appearing to capture those related to the Wutian Celestial Emperor while actually putting in little effort.

In Huangfu Qilin’s view,

Gratitude?

It’s the most wasteful thing in Human Clan emotions,

Gratitude?

It doesn’t grant one strength,

What’s the use of gratitude?

Huangfu Qilin knew about the advent of architecture, humans moving from nests to residing in houses due to the Wutian Celestial Emperor,

But Huangfu Qilin saw nothing great in it. That was Wutian Celestial Emperor’s folly. If he were the Wutian Celestial Emperor, wanting papermaking and printing from him?

Heh heh,

Absolutely impossible,

unless the learner swears eternal allegiance to him.

..."Wu Tian, let me ask you, are you willing to teach the ’First’ you created to my Celestial Dynasty, and not teach it to others?" the Emperor asked in a deep voice,

He still yearned to obtain the ’First’.

Throughout Human Clan’s history, many ’Firsts’ seemed ordinary at the time, but now, whoever possesses a ’First’ flourishes.

Take papermaking, seemingly inconsequential, yet if papermaking hadn’t existed now and only the Celestial Dynasty possessed it, the potential would be immense.

"I refuse," Wu Tian declined straightforwardly.

This time, he wouldn’t teach his ’First’ to others, and besides, others might not even learn it.

"He actually refused?"

"Does he know what he’s saying?"

"Boldly refusing the monarch in my Celestial Dynasty’s hall?"

The civil and military officials were shocked.

"So audacious, indeed admirable..." The Ninth Princess in the crowd smiled at the corners of her mouth,

Her father had told her about this man,

Initially, she was very resistant,

But now upon seeing him,

This young man,

was decent.

"You..." Seeing Wu Tian refuse, the Emperor’s face turned red with anger. The civil and military officials were also somewhat infuriated.

"Let it be, let it be, everyone just let it go." Again, Huangfu Meimu interrupted, laughing: "The matter is settled, no one should press young friend Wu Tian further. If a commotion truly starts, it will indeed be unseemly."

Huangfu Meimu,

was not blinded by the ’First’,

he was not greedy, calmly assessing the matter, he foresaw that pressing Wu Tian too hard would be absolutely inadvisable.

Wu Tian and his party were not simple,

even the Su Family had been wiped out,

who knew what capabilities Wu Tian and others might have?

The Celestial Dynasty,

should not make more enemies.

...The Emperor was not a fool. After Huangfu Meimu’s reminder, he knew not to force Wu Tian; if they became enemies, things would not turn well.

It could end in mutual destruction.

The Emperor stepped down from the throne, approached Huangfu Meimu, and whispered to seek his opinion, knowing that he, as an Emperor, was still lacking depth and should consult his father for the path of monarchy; his father was more knowledgeable.

"Boy, remember, being at odds with him, the dynasty could end," Huangfu Meimu whispered worriedly next to the Emperor, thinking of Wu Tian’s terrifying potential,

What?

The Emperor was utterly astonished, shivering all over, was this a joke? His vast dynasty couldn’t match Wu Tian and his few?

"I don’t know what Wu Tian’s Tongxuan Phenomenon is, but with Lava Element, Blood Element, Qi Element... think about where he might reach in the future?"
