Chapter 400 - Challenge From The Great Emperor From The Upper Realm (1/2)

The Lord of the Heavenly Hall, Sage Yutian!

Zhou Xuanji looked at him in his eyes calmly and asked, “What guilt do I have? ”

If Sage Yutian wanted to kill him, he would have already done so. Why would he need to talk so much?

They stared at each other in the eyes.

Zhou Xuanji was at ease, without a tinge of fear.

Sage Yutian replied with squinted eyes, “You obstructed Heaven’s will, and you think you are guiltless? ”

Zhou Xuanji laughed.

I have your mother’s guilt.

He said bluntly, “Xuanyuan Zhou forced me to become Tian. I was not willing, and he wanted to kill me. Can’t I retaliate? ”

“The Heavenly Hall slaughtered the human race. What’s your justification for that?”

He had no favorable feelings toward the Heavenly Hall.

He even wanted to fight him straightaway.

However, because the Northern Wilderness Region was still recuperating and could not go through another war, he could only suppress the rage in his heart for now.

Sage Yutian shook his head and said, “If not for Us, the Northern Wilderness humans would have been extinct already. This time, We could no longer protect them, so I sent the Xuanyuan Clan to eliminate the Northern Wilderness humans. You are a Great Emperor already and can escape this catastrophe. Enter the Heavenly Hall, and I will nurture you. How about that?”

Zhou Xuanji frowned. This change of topic made him silent.

No wonder the human ancestors wanted to obliterate the Northern Wilderness humans but they did not do so. So it was because of the Heavenly Hall’s resistance?

He felt no gratitude because the Heavenly Hall had already slaughtered two empires. Next, they planned to eliminate the entire human race.

Including Emperor Sword Court.

“If I agree, can you keep the Northern Wilderness Region safe?” Zhou Xuanji asked. He did not want to join the Heavenly Hall but was merely testing the water.

Sage Yutian waved his hand imposingly and said, “No. Other than you, everyone else must die.”

He said no lies because he was the Lord of the Heavenly Hall and needed his subordinates to obey him.

“Since we walk a different path, we should not come together, ” Zhou Xuanji smiled in reply.

Sage Yutian was not enraged. With calm-looking eyes, he stared straight at Zhou Xuanji and said, “If you are neither willing to join the Heavenly Hall nor ascend, you will die. It’s not that We want to kill you, but too many powerful cultivators are pressuring us. Wanghou should have already told you the truth.”

This guy knew Wanghou!

Zhou Xuanji felt stressed suddenly.

Could those ancestors in the Upper Realm be keeping their eyes on him?

Sage Yutian saw through his thoughts and said, “That is not so. They cannot spy on the mortal worlds without entering them, except for those whose cultivation has exceeded True God. ”

True God?

Is that a position or a stage?

Zhou Xuanji had heard of this term before but had not obtained the answer to his question.

He did not enquire further but was thinking about how many powerful cultivators were trying to decimate the Northern Wilderness humans.

“A big army of the Upper Realm will descend soon. The Heavenly Hall will show no mercy. You will regret it. Although you are already a Great Emperor, you are still too young.”

Sage Yutian left these words before he left.

He really admired Zhou Xuanji’s talent, which was why he came down personally to loop him in.

Since Zhou Xuanji disagreed, then forget it.

Zhou Xuanji gazed at the bright moon and did not return to Skyfall immediately.

He thought about it for a very long time.

And finally, he sighed.

“Still not enough.”

…

In the blink of an eye, it had been half a year since Spirit Sovereign Yan had died.

The Northern Wilderness Region made huge progress in their recovery. The internal conflicts of humanity were greatly reduced too. However, Nanhan Royal Capital became infested with bandits because the empire had been toppled.

This day.

Zhou Xuanji was teaching Xiao Jinghong ,Zhao Congjian, Lin Changge, Chen Bantian, Ning Zifeng, Meng Tianlang, and Beixiao Wangjian.

The group sat down together and shared their insights in the Sword’s Way.

Most of the time, Zhou Xuanji listened, only providing pointers occasionally. Every pointer was straight to the point and enlightened everyone.

First Class Great Emperor, Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortal.
