193: The ancient Wu Emperor surrendered

Oh?

Qian Duoduo smiled faintly and sat back down.

He took out the jade bottle, removed the stopper, and the Medicinal Pill fragrance of the Nirvana Pill once again filled the entire hall.

Wu Luo's pupils changed, and a look of desire appeared in his eyes. As soon as the Medicinal Pill fragrance emerged, he felt a sense of Nirvana.

"This matter concerns the dignity of the Emperor Sect, so it naturally requires careful consideration!" Qian Duoduo said with a smile.

"Young Revered Master, is this a Low Grade Emperor Pill Nirvana Pill?"

Wu Luo couldn't help but ask. Having lived for a long time, he still had some knowledge.

"So Senior knows! That's right! This is indeed half a Nirvana Pill!"

Qian Duoduo was surprised, but considering the other party's age and origin from an Emperor Sect, his knowledge was naturally profound.

Wu Luo was incredibly excited upon hearing this.

Since he knew about the Nirvana Pill, he naturally understood its effects. Even half a pill would be enough to increase his Lifespan by at least ten epochs, and that wasn't even the most important part.

The Nirvana Pill could allow one to undergo Nirvana, and perhaps even enable him to Breakthrough his cultivation.

After a Saint Monarch Martial Artist Breaks through to become a Quasi-Emperor, their Lifespan increases by a hundred epochs. Thereafter, each Breakthrough adds thirty epochs.

Thirty epochs of Lifespan, no!

Even ten epochs of Lifespan would be enough for the Sect to produce another Quasi-Emperor powerhouse, and he himself might even have hope of advancing further, because the power of Nirvana within the Nirvana Pill would gradually improve his Aptitude.

Wu Xingqiong and the other person had also heard of the Nirvana Pill, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble.

The Nirvana Pill must be refined using Nirvana Fruits, both of which are legendary items. With the Nirvana Pill, Wu Luo would increase his Lifespan by at least ten epochs, resolving the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect's three-hundred-year crisis.

"I have to say, the Nirvana Pill is indeed what this old man needs most. This old man even had the thought of bringing out our hidden power to suppress Young Revered Master!" Wu Luo said with a wry smile.

A Hui's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, staring intently at Wu Luo and the two others. The three instantly felt as if they were being targeted by an abyssal beast, their sacred souls seemingly on the verge of collapsing.

"Hahaha! Senior is a smart person!"

Qian Duoduo smiled faintly, and that terrifying gaze instantly vanished. The three simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.

"Then, Senior, how have you considered it?"

"Young Revered Master, you should first tell us the origin of your Family. Otherwise, if you are spies of the myriad races, even if our Sect is destroyed, we will not submit to your Family!"

At this moment, Gu Batian slowly spoke.

Qian Duoduo showed a look of surprise in his eyes upon seeing that the speaker was Gu Batian.

"Xuanhuang Xu Family!"

Qian Duoduo said calmly.

"Xuanhuang Xu Family?"

The three of them frowned simultaneously. They recalled all historical records but found no mention of such a Family.

Suddenly, Wu Xingqiong thought of something and said, "A few days ago, Cangwu Academy recruited two True Kings. One of them is a Saint Eyes Wielder, and this person happens to be from the Xu Family. The Xu Family has a force under its command called Xuanhuang Hall."

At this point, Wu Xingqiong looked at Qian Duoduo, trying to discern something.

Wu Luo and the other person also knew about this matter, but they didn't expect the other party to be from that Family.

"That's right, that Saint Eyes Wielder is precisely my Clan Chief's younger brother, Young Revered Master Xu Yuan!"

Qian Duoduo admitted generously.

"Young Revered Master, forgive my frankness, but from ancient times until now, the Eternal Continent has produced one hundred and seventy-six Great Emperors. Among them, only five Great Emperors had the surname Xu, but none of those five Families used Xuanhuang as their clan name. You..."

Gu Batian was somewhat skeptical.

"I've said what needs to be said. As for the rest, you are not yet qualified to know! If our Family had not just revived and it wasn't time to emerge, why would we need to recruit external forces to act on our behalf!"

"You have no right to choose; you only have the right to be chosen by us. There are still fourteen other Families in the Wuqian Territory for us to choose from. We only need an obedient Sect to work for us!"

Qian Duoduo reined in his smile and said unceremoniously.

"You!"

Gu Batian's anger surged, and he was about to make a move, but upon seeing A Hui, his anger instantly dissipated by half. However, he felt extremely displeased inside.

"Good! I agree to it!"

Just then, Wu Luo suddenly spoke.

Wu Xingqiong and the other person were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but then their expressions turned somewhat grim. They indeed had no choice.

"This is the choice a smart person should make!"

Qian Duoduo smiled faintly and said, "Don't think I'm being an alarmist. If our Family truly wants to support a Sect, let alone Saint Monarchs, we can cultivate even Quasi-Emperors at will. Although your Sect has methods left by a Great Emperor, in our Family's eyes, they are merely so-so!"

"Because if our Family were to truly sweep through you, unless your Great Emperor ancestor descends, otherwise, in front of true Emperor Realm experts, how could your methods stop our Family's advance?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into an eerie silence.

Wu Luo and the two others were horrified. What did they just hear? They actually heard that the Xu Family had an Emperor!

"Some things are best kept to oneself, otherwise, I don't know what terrible things might happen!" Qian Duoduo said with a solemn expression.

"Young Revered Master, rest assured, what happened today will not be known by anyone outside this hall!"

Although Wu Luo didn't know if Qian Duoduo's words were true, he knew one thing: those top Emperor Sects all had Emperor Realm existences within their gates.

For example, the Three Associations of Alchemy, Artifact Forging, and Formations, the Heavens Secret Pavilion, Cangwu Academy, and so on—these forces were the ones who truly decided the situation on the Eternal Continent.

Why did the Tianwu Imperial Domain suffer the Calamity of Tianwu back then? It was because the Tianwu Imperial Domain had no Emperor, coupled with a Sect's supreme treasure, which led to the Calamity of Tianwu.

The young Quasi-Emperor of their Sect also perished in that great war, causing a dignified Emperor Sect to be surrounded by various Holy Lands.

And what Qian Duoduo had just said, that their Xu Family had just revived and it wasn't time to emerge, made him think of a rumor.

This was something he had heard from his Revered Master when he was young: a rumor that some ancient forces on the Eternal Continent constantly avoided the world, but whenever a great era arrived, they would emerge and send out Disciples to contend for the Opportunity to become an Emperor.

This was also the reason he was willing to submit, because if the Xu Family was truly a hidden great Family, then their Ancient Martial Emperor Sect might usher in an Opportunity.

As for an Emperor Sect submitting to other forces and its dignity, that was merely an excuse.

No matter how glorious the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect once was, that was in the past. Only with an undying Legacy could there be hope for the Emperor Sect to restore its former glory.

"Words alone are not enough!"

Qian Duoduo smiled. He didn't believe Wu Luo's mere promise, after all, he wasn't some sage who could make people prostrate themselves at first meeting!

Wu Luo's face also showed some embarrassment upon hearing this.

"Then, Young Revered Master, what do you need us to do?"

Qian Duoduo smiled faintly, and soon, four Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus imprints appeared in his hand, then landed in front of Wu Luo and the others.

"This is a Soul Restriction set by a Seven-Step Quasi-Emperor from our Family. You should know what to do!"

He had obtained this from the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus.

"This..."

Wu Luo and the two others hesitated upon seeing it.

"What? You don't dare? Or is your 'submission' just empty words? In reality, you're just after this half of the Nirvana Pill in my hand?"

Qian Duoduo's expression darkened, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

"Of course not!" Wu Luo quickly said, "Very well! I no longer have a choice, I just hope Young Revered Master doesn't deceive this old man."

With that, Wu Luo reached out to take the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus imprint. As soon as he touched it, the latter transformed into a streak of light and entered Wu Luo's glabella.

Wu Luo was about to resist, but then he remembered something and compromised.

Before long, his sacred soul was entangled by a nine-colored light, and a faint nine-colored lotus imprint appeared on his glabella.

Seeing this, Wu Xingqiong and the other person could only compromise, while Gu Xingkui had the Soul Restriction planted on him while he was unconscious.

"This is yours now!"

Saying that, Qian Duoduo tossed the jade bottle to Wu Luo, who happily caught it.

Seeing the Medicinal Pill in hand, Wu Xingqiong and the other person felt greatly relieved.

Qian Duoduo observed this scene.

"Interesting! Everyone says that in the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect, the Gu and Wu lineages are at odds, constantly scheming against each other for ten thousand years, even framing each other, causing many deaths!"

"Seeing it today, your Sect indeed has excellent methods, deceiving outsiders for a full ten thousand years."
