Chapter 351 - Dugu, Emperor Zhao’s Power (2/2)

Although magic energy was primary for cultivation, some schools emphasized resources, accompaniment, the correct ways, and a good location as well. External things were important for cultivation as well.

“Whatever about the inauspicious item. As long as you are powerful enough, even the evilest artifact will submit to you!”

Emperor Zhao snorted indifferently, which shook Zhou Xuanji to a realization.

Dugu looked at Emperor Zhao with a complex expression and said, “The Ancient Emperor indeed.”

He disagreed with how domineering Emperor Zhao should be.

There’s always something or someone more powerful. Who dared to think himself to be the most powerful and would not be backfired by any evil artifacts?

“Let’s go down first and not care about him. He cannot leave Judi Cliff.”

Emperor Zhao lost his patience and urged.

Compared to Dugu, he could not wait to see his puppet.

Zhou Xuanji nodded. He glanced at Dugu, before he leaped down into the valley.

Dugu did not leave and stood at the same spot.

“Liu Wuji? It sounds so familiar.”

He mumbled to himself and fell into deep contemplation.

However, he had no lead and could not remember no matter how hard he tried.

Zhou Xuanji descended along the mountain walls and saw a cave shortly after.

Under Emperor Zhao’s direction, he quickly entered it.

He asked about Emperor Zhao’s puppet while he moved forward.

“When I was in the ordinary world, I had nine hundred puppets with different spells and divine abilities. The most powerful one was a Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortal. The weakest were at least at the Spirit Refinement stage.”

“After my ascension, I upgraded these puppets, and all of them surpassed Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal. However, it was a pity that I’ve lost more than half of them during the previous battle.”

The more Emperor Zhao spoke about it, the sadder he grew. However, his words shocked Zhou Xuanji in his heart.

Nine hundred puppets that surpassed the Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal!

He had such a powerful army, yet he was so defeated so terribly and died.

As Zhou Xuanji was astonished, he could not hold it but ask about Emperor Zhao’s enemy.

Emperor Zhao did not reply to his question directly. Still, he gave an ambiguous reply that he could not reveal too much about the Upper Realm to the ordinary world, as there might be divine retribution.

After passing through the dark labyrinth of passages, he finally stopped.

A stone coffin was embedded in the wall ahead of him. Tree roots intertwined all around like a fortified web, constricting the coffin.

Although he was in darkness, he could see the stone coffin.

With his right hand raised, he sucked the coffin out before leaving.

Soon, he returned to the cliff and put the stone coffin onto the ground. Dugu was standing not far away and looked at him curiously.

With him around, the wandering ghosts dared not to close in on him.

“Open it straightaway!”

Emperor Zhao urged as though he could no longer wait.

Zhou Xuanji waved his sleeve, and the coffin cover flipped open. This made him raise his brow.

So easily?

If others were to find the coffin, wouldn’t the puppet be stolen?

He looked closely and understood immediately—no wonder this puppet could be preserved for seventy thousand years.

It was already turned into bones and was of no value.

He turned around to look at Emperor Zhao.

“Don’t worry. Wait seven days and nights to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and it will rise. At that time, I will give it orders for you to control, then you can teach Liu Wuji a lesson with it!”

Emperor Zhao chuckled in excitement as usual.

“Humph!”

A cold snort came from the Ancient God Sword. It was from Liu Wuji.

He could no longer endure Emperor Zhao’s arrogance.

You are really powerful as the Ancient Emperor.

But I’m the most powerful person in the human race, and I’m your ancestor!
