Chapter 221 - Assuming Duties as a Celestial Emperor (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Yi Qing’s heavenly tribulation came out of nowhere this time – he did not even notice it himself. Too many things happened in these few years – he broke the Divine Refining Clock, battled on the Emperor Ascension Stage and even engaged in the great battle between the sects. There were so many battles that even Lonemoon could feel himself getting closer to ascending into an Emperor. It therefore should not have been surprising that Yi Qing, the cheat, was experiencing a breakthrough just then.

For some reason, though, Yi Qing’s heavenly tribulation was taking an exceptionally long time. The lightning bolts struck one after another, each one feeling like it was going to shatter the earth

The heavenly tribulation was not supposed to take more than four or five days, but this one took close to half a month. Lonemoon glanced at the flashes of lightning in the sky and had a bad feeling in his heart. 36 flashes of blinding light followed after the lightning tribulation. They were supposed to be a fiery red, but Lonemoon could not figure out why they were purple deviant fire bolts. They lit up the entire sky so that it became purple. These took a total of six days and six nights.

Lonemoon was shocked. He watched the cheat silently. Given the intensity of this tribulation, it was surprising that Yi Qing was still standing strong, uninjured by whatever was being thrown at him.

One month later.

The sky cleared and the clouds dissipated. Yi Qing was back. There were holes and burns all over his dharmic clothing and his hair was much messier than usual. He looked a mess, but he seemed much happier than usual as well. The immortal Qi surrounding his body also felt several times richer. Lonemoon felt the pressure of a Celestial Emperor pressing down on him.

Wait.

The pressure of a Celestial Emperor?

Lonemoon: “…” Motherf*cker!

“Shen Ying!”

“Huh?”

“I’m going to talk about life with you now, immediately, at this very moment!”

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Yi Qing successfully ascended to become a Celestial Emperor and became the Celestial Emperor of the Bo Sea. As the director of administration and human resources in the Invincible Sect, Lonemoon stopped pushing away all the responsibilities. Immediately, he decided to move the entire sect to the Heavens beyond Heaven and allowed the other Celestial Emperors to think that they heard him wrongly before.

Lonemoon rolled his eyes at their situation and kept working at his abacus. What nonsense – the Invincible Sect’s halls were mostly broken from the battle before. They had no choice but to move to somewhere else to live. The only valuable herbs in the rear garden were also mostly dead thanks to the demonic array that Lan Hua set up.

That was why the disciples immediately got to packing all of their possessions. They were only left with packing the immortal meridian in the rear hall. The Invincible Sect seemed to be very quick in packing up and moving out. It only took them about an hour to pack all that they had and move out of the premises.

For the sake of convenience, Lonemoon allowed Lan Hua to set up a transportation array that led straight to the Bo Sea. He took that as Lan Hua’s accommodation fees.

In the blink of an eye, all the disciples arrived at the doorstep of the heavenly palace of Bo Sea.

The immortal guard who had just received news that he was to welcome a new Celestial Emperor: “…”

“Greetings… Greetings, Celestial Emperor!” The door guard finally reacted after a couple of seconds, cupping his fists and bowing to Yi Qing.

“Mm.” Yi Qing, the so-called Celestial Emperor, nodded. He was only in charge of cooking anyway.

Lonemoon, on the other hand, looked around and frowned. “Where are the other immortal guards? Why are you the only one in this heavenly palace?”

In the month that Yi Qing had spent going through the tribulations, Lonemoon did some research on the guards at the heavenly palace in the Bo Sea. According to his research there should have been at least six Mystic Immortals guarding the gates of the heavenly palace each day.

The various emperors had already announced that Yi Qing was going to take over as Celestial Emperor of the Bo Sea for fear that they would back out. An hour ago, Lonemoon also informed the managing immortal official that they would be coming. Even if they were early, it could not be that only one guard would be guarding the heavenly gate.

“Well…” The door guard became pale. A weird emotion flashed past his eyes. He could not, for the life of him, think of an excuse.

Lonemoon’s expression fell. He increased his Young Emperor’s pressure. “Where are the immortal guards who are supposed to be guarding the heavenly palace?”
