Chapter 1036: South Emperor Seeking Guidance
The crowd took a deep breath from astonishment. They were quite perplexed by the gigantic gap between the two.
“How are people in the current generation going to compete for the Heaven’s Will?” A powerful youth lost his confidence right away. The Mortal King was strong enough in the eyes of the younger generation, but he was not worth mentioning when it came to South Emperor.
“The word ‘emperor’ alone is enough to tell the tale. Not just anyone can claim to be an emperor!” Another murmured.
“That’s an Era Evader for you.” A paragon spoke: “If the current geniuses don’t grow to the point where they are recognized by the Heaven’s Will, they simply can’t compete with him.”
One person even went as far to say: “Is that an Emperor Assailant? To blow the War God away with just one finger, truly unstoppable.”
Li Qiye didn’t look twice at what was happening. He was still nonchalant in his own world.
South Emperor approached and sat in front of him. He smilingly said: “Let this junior drink with you in this busy mundane world.”
With that, he casually flipped his palm and they instantly teleported away.
In the blink of an eye, the pavilion that Li Qiye was sitting on disappeared. Many people on top of the terrace looked over and realized that the South Emperor had teleported the entire building.
Somewhere in the southern region, there was a waterfall running with green pine trees everywhere as if it was a paradise.
At this time, the emperor took some of Li Qiye’s wine and began to drink even faster than Li Qiye, as if he wanted to compete with him.
Li Qiye sat there in contemplation. After a while, his mind returned and he glanced at South Emperor who was gulping down cups of liquor.
“Little Guo, if you want to drink, go take out your imperial brew from your mountain, don’t steal mine.” Li Qiye said slowly.
South Emperor’s name was Gu Guo. In the present times, no one knew his name and of course, no one would ever dare to call him “Little Guo”. Even Immortal Emperor Yin Tian was his junior, so who at Mysterious Bamboo would dare to call him Little Guo?
South Emperor didn’t really want to put the aged wine down. He felt the urge to pull on his hair with a suffering grimace.
“What’s wrong, Little Guo.” Li Qiye revealed a rare smile after looking at the emperor.
The emperor let go of his hair and waved his hands in front of Li Qiye: “I want to suicide, Sacred Teacher. You, you are pushing me to the edge right now.”
“Pushing you to the edge? I don’t think it has anything to do with me.” Li Qiye looked at the fella and laughed.
South Emperor reluctantly explained: “Can I get any unluckier? At fifteen, I met Empress Hong Tian. Fine, I accepted defeat. I evaded one era and came out at twenty. Oh well, I met Immortal Emperor Bing Yu. I’ll just attribute that to bad luck again, so I evaded another generation. At thirty, I made another debut only to meet Immortal Emperor Qian Li, so I hid again and finally came out now. My god, Sacred Teacher, you are personally doing it this time.”
“Teacher, are you purposely doing this to ruin me? Empress Hong Tian was your direct student, Immortal Emperor Bing Yu was given a new fortune by you. And as for Immortal Emperor Qian Li, you were her dao protector!” South Emperor bitterly spoke: “Every time I come into being, I just happen to come by you. I should just buy a bunch of noodles so I can hang myself already.”
South Emperor was indeed very unlucky. The first time he came out, he met Empress Hong Tian. Even the most brilliant geniuses would be finished, so he chose to run.
The second time, the Dark Crow granted a great fortune to the young Immortal Emperor Bing Yu. Others didn’t know about the existence of the Dark Crow, but South Emperor did. This was because the second emperor of Mysterious Bamboo was groomed by the Dark Crow!
At a certain level, the Dark Crow granting a fortune was akin to determining Immortal Emperor Bing Yu’s right to the Heaven’s Will, so South Emperor hid again.
The third time was even worse. The Dark Crow personally became the dao protector of Immortal Emperor Qian Li. South Emperor knew better than everyone else that no one would be able to bar the Dark Crow’s path. Thus, he evaded another generation.
This was his fourth time coming out, and worse turned to worst. The Dark Crow himself came out! Even if he was stronger, he wouldn’t have the chance to become the Immortal Emperor.
