246: Expand your power, Emperor Tianji

“After a long while, you let out a soft sigh.”

“Immediately, your gaze returned to the spiritual items Xiang Ping carried.”

“You carefully studied each of them.”

“But you didn't find anything miraculous among them.”

“Although most of them possessed considerable power and wondrous uses, they offered no help to your current self.”

““It seems Xiang Ping’s situation is entirely due to himself…””

“You sighed again and busied yourself with other matters.”

“Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several months passed.”

“Since you didn't conceal anything when you killed the Tianji Great General earlier, the news quickly spread throughout the entire Linyuan Region.”

“Many Cultivators in the Linyuan Region learned that you could instantly kill a Dao Palace Cultivator, which made your previous recruitment plan even smoother.”

“At the same time, the Tianji Immortal Court frequently sent envoys to persuade you.”

“They expressed willingness to pay a large amount of resources in exchange for Xiang Ping’s life.”

“However…”

“You rejected all of them.”

“Because, in your opinion, you had already formed an enmity with Xiang Ping.”

“Such hatred is difficult to mend.”

“Although Xiang Ping seemed quite righteous, through the soul-searching of the Dao Ling Village Cultivators, you could clearly see that this boy was by no means a benevolent person.”

“If you let the tiger return to the mountains, it would surely leave trouble for yourself.”

“On the other side.”

“The Tianji Immortal Court, repeatedly rejected by you, did not give up. Instead, they continued to send envoys to the Six Paths Demonic Palace to persuade you, constantly increasing their offers.”

“Eventually, the resources the Tianji Immortal Court was willing to offer reached an extremely terrifying number; if you were to hand them over, it might even cause the Tianji Immortal Court to collapse!”

““Emperor Tianji definitely knows something, otherwise he wouldn’t pay such a high price for Xiang Ping.””

“You muttered to yourself.”

“A feeling like a thorn in your back grew in your heart regarding Xiang Ping and the Tianji Immortal Court.”

“You began to have your subordinate Cultivators try to kill Xiang Ping.”

“But without exception, they were all affected by the power of heaven and earth.”

“If they forcibly attacked him, only one outcome awaited them—death!”

“The one hundred thirty-second thousandth year.”

“In these years, you extensively recruited low-level Cultivators, expanding the Six Paths Demonic Palace’s territory exponentially.”

“Under your leadership, the Six Paths Demonic Palace grew increasingly powerful.”

“A large amount of fresh blood poured into the Six Paths Demonic Palace.”

“Those who were once core members became deacons, training one Cultivator after another under your guidance.”

“The one hundred thirty-third thousandth year.”

“You felt the time was right.”

“Since you couldn't kill Xiang Ping, then you would first move against the Tianji Immortal Court behind him!”

“You ordered all Cultivators of the Six Paths Demonic Palace to march out, heading straight for the Tianji Imperial City, ensuring that no member of the imperial Xiang family was spared.”

“And you, along with Gu Ziyan, went all out, heading directly for the Tianji Imperial Palace!”

“A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.”

“You cleaved through the protective formation with a single sword, quickly infiltrating it.”

“But who would have thought that at this time, there were only a few Dao Lotus Cultivators in the Tianji Imperial Palace, and the two Dao Palace Cultivators were nowhere to be found.”

““Hmm?!””

“You frowned slightly, immediately grabbing several people for soul-searching.”

“However, even when you soul-searched the imperial princes, in their memories, they were completely unaware of the movements of high-level Cultivators.”

““Something’s not right…””

“Your pupils constricted slightly.”

“You then realized that they must have gone to the Six Paths Demonic Palace!”

“Without any hesitation, you immediately activated Celestial Travel and grabbed Gu Ziyan.”

“Three breaths later, you returned to the Six Paths Demonic Palace.”

“And this place had just been breached, with a large number of high-level Cultivators pouring in, searching for Xiang Ping’s whereabouts.”

““They really are here!””

“You snorted coldly.”

“You never expected the Tianji Immortal Court’s speed to be much faster than yours.”

“If it weren't for Celestial Travel, they would surely have rescued Xiang Ping on this trip!”

“You and Gu Ziyan immediately fought your way back into the Six Paths Demonic Palace.”

“But just then, an boundless oppressive force suddenly came from the depths of the sky!”

““Boom!!!””

“A golden Fist Intent descended from the heavens!”

“Accompanied by dazzling Protective Aura, it was like a great sun in the sky, instantly blooming!”

“The terrifying attack immediately drew everyone’s attention.”

“They could even clearly feel that even the surrounding Spiritual Qi was crushed by this unparalleled power!”

““Die for Us!””

“A thunderous voice came from the sky, and its owner was none other than the wielder of the Fist Intent—Emperor Tianji!”

“At this moment, his eyes were wide with fury, and the constantly gathering Fist Intent in his hand tore through layers of the Void Realm, colliding with you!”

“The terrifying explosion stirred up a thousand zhang of dust, sweeping across countless lives, drawing the attention of all Cultivators!”

“However, when the dust dissipated, you were still standing perfectly unharmed!”

““Weak!””

“You sneered.”

“Under the blessing of the God of One-on-One Battles, close-range attacks like Emperor Tianji’s could no longer harm you in the slightest.”

“However, having said that, when facing a Dao Palace Realm Cultivator like Emperor Tianji, your attacking methods also didn’t have much effect.”

“To awe the crowd, you immediately raised your hand lightly and unleashed a Fatal Strike!”

“A terrifying great seal suddenly appeared.”

“And Emperor Tianji, who was closest to you, naturally bore the brunt, being the first to feel the powerful might accompanying the great seal.”

“He could clearly feel the terror of the great seal.”

“It was irresistible!”

“He wanted to escape, but in his eyes, this great seal seemed to be in a state of stagnation.”

“It looked very slow, but no matter how he tried to dodge, he couldn't move an inch.”

“From Emperor Tianji’s perspective, everything around him disappeared.”

“It was as if in heaven, on earth, and in the human world, only this sudden great seal remained.”

“He had nowhere to hide!”

““Ah!””

““Impossible!!!””

“Finally, at the instant the great seal was about to fall upon Emperor Tianji.”

“All the Spiritual Qi and Dao essence in his body erupted like a volcanic explosion, finally successfully breaking free from the strange state before him.”

“He hastily pulled out the Imperial Seal of the Nation and held it in front of him.”

“He tried to use the Luck of a nation to contend with the great seal before him!”

“However…”

““Bang!!!””

“The next moment, the great seal and the Imperial Seal collided in the air from a distance.”

“Boundless Luck continuously surged out, trying to obliterate the terrifying power carried by the great seal!”

“However… this was ultimately in vain!”
