Chapter 1917: Peaceful Sea Emperor (1/2)
“Brother, you look like a new face around here. Which family do you belong to?” At this time, a burly middle-aged man close to Huang Xiaolong’s seat turned to him and asked. This burly middle-aged man was a mid-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm expert.
Huang Xiaolong replied, “I’m from the Ele-lynx Clan.”
The middle-aged man beamed hearing that. “So, it’s a brother from the Ele-lynx Clan. Brother, you must be a peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch, am I right?”
“Several years back, I managed to advance to the peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm.” Huang Xiaolong answered. Of course, he was already an early First Order Emperor now.
The burly middle-aged man showed an envious expression hearing that. “Didn’t expect that brother is already a peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm expert. Brother is just one step across the line from Emperor Realm. Who knows, ten thousand years later, brother would be able to cross that line to the Emperor Realm, At that time, you will be a hegemon in one direction, an elite force in the Divine World even on your own.”
An old man on the other side snorted, “Merely a peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm. What does that count as? It is easier said than done to break through to Emperor Realm. Forget ten thousand years. Some can’t cross that line in a million years, even ten million years.”
This old man was also a peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch.
He then said to Huang Xiaolong, “Young man, I have been stuck at the peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm for over a million years. Let me give you a piece of advice. Forget Emperor Realm and what not. Amongst a hundred thousand peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarchs, there might only be one who can breakthrough.”
Hearing that, Huang Xiaolong smiled silently and did not mind the old man’s attitude. He said, “Who knows, maybe I am the one amongst a hundred thousand.”
The old man was taken aback by Huang Xiaolong’s nonchalant retort. He shook his head and sighed, “A million years ago, when I had just advanced to the peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm, my thinking was the same as you. But I have gradually understood that it’s nothing but a fantasy.”
Huang Xiaolong merely smiled and did not speak.
This old man spoke in a tone of teaching a junior in a family, making Huang Xiaolong too lazy to be bothered with him.
Seeing that the conversation had gone dead and the cold atmosphere, the middle-aged man quickly changed the subject. He said to Huang Xiaolong, “Brother, I saw that you arrived together with the Azure Firmament Emperor Palace’s Wu Yichun and Cui Yiting. Do you know them?”
Huang Xiaolong shook his head, “We met coincidentally on the road.”
The middle-aged man Wu Zetian smiled awkwardly and said to Huang Xiaolong, “I thought brother is familiar with them, so I thought maybe you could connect us.”
Huang Xiaolong smiled. His rare playful mood surfaced, and he teased Wu Zetian, “It’s alright. Honestly, I do know quite a few female Hall Masters, and they are prettier than that Cui Yiting. If you want, I can introduce them to you?”
Wu Zetian smirked, “Then please accept my thanks in advance.” Even though he thanked Huang XIaolong, he didn’t think too much about his offer. An Ele-lynx Clan’s disciple knowing a lot of female Hall Masters was less likely. Hence, Wu Zetian naturally assumed Huang Xiaolong was joking with him.
Suddenly, the Lightning Clan’s Elder in charge of welcoming guests yelled excitedly at the top of his lungs, “The Peaceful Sea Emperor Palace’s Peaceful Sea Emperor arrives!”
His announcement stirred the guests.
“What, the Peaceful Sea Emperor actually came in person for the celebration?!”
“It is said that the Peaceful Sea Emperor came out from seclusion not long ago, and he has already broken through to early Second-Order Emperor Realm. I wonder if that’s true!”
“Since there are such rumors, it is most likely true. I’ve heard that the Peaceful Sea Emperor Palace and the Myriad Swords Emperor Palace’s relationship is unusually close.”
“That is true, Peaceful Sea Emperor and the Myriad Swords Emperor Palace’s Ancestor Liu Hai are sworn brothers!”
Everyone was talking excitedly, rising from their seats and craning their necks.
Although the Peaceful Sea Emperor Palace merely ranked in the hundreds, the Peaceful Sea Emperor was an expert at the Emperor Realm. From the perspective of the Heavenly Monarch Realm experts, they could only dream of that.
