187: Chapter 187 Immortal Emperor Pill, One-Year Term

As Gu Jixiao brought out those five Medicinal Pills and they appeared before them, Chen Guchuan and the other four's breathing couldn't help but quicken.

It was because they felt an incredibly strong attraction from those Medicinal Pills; had the person before them not been Gu Jixiao, and had they not been absolutely loyal to him, they would have long since lost control and rushed forward to seize the Medicinal Pills.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Lin Zilong swallowed hard and asked with a hint of anticipation in his heart.

"This is the immortal emperor pill. Once swallowed and refined, you will step into the Immortal Emperor Peak Realm within a year. As for the side effects, I'm sure you're all well aware: you will be unable to progress any further unless you have my help."

Gu Jixiao spoke in a flat tone, as if the Medicinal Pills in his hand were not anything particularly precious.

Looking at the five of them again, Li Xuan and the other three still had no concept of what an Immortal Emperor was. Thus, only Chen Guchuan, who knew exactly how powerful an Immortal Emperor was, realized how precious the Medicinal Pills before him were, and he immediately fell to his knees before Gu Jixiao.

"Thank you for your benevolence, Your Majesty! We will certainly work hard for Your Majesty and never fail the prestige of the Imperial Dynasty!"

The moment Chen Guchuan knelt, Li Xuan and the other three also suddenly snapped to their senses and knelt down one after another.

Seeing them all kneeling, Gu Jixiao's expression remained calm. He waved his hand, and they were instantly lifted back to their feet.

"I only care about results and never listen to flowery words. If you wish to repay me, then serve me well."

Having said that, Gu Jixiao placed the five immortal emperor pills into their hands.

Feeling the warm touch of the Medicinal Pills in their palms, which also radiated a faint sense of pressure, the breathing of Chen Guchuan and the others quickened once more.

But before they could say anything, Gu Jixiao waved his hand and sent them out, his voice transmitting directly into their minds.

"Go find a place to refine the Medicinal Pills now, and come serve me in one year."

In a year, his three children should be born. As a father, Gu Jixiao naturally wanted to accompany his children as they grew, so at that time, he would hand over full control of the Imperial Dynasty's affairs to Chen Guchuan and Li Xuan.

Hearing Gu Jixiao's words, the five of them looked solemn. After exchanging glances, Chen Guchuan was the first to speak.

"Let me lead you to your Immortal Caves. After this, you can Cultivate there within the Sacred Domain."

Chen Guchuan then led them toward the depths of the Sacred Domain, soon arriving before a massive mountain.

This mountain was the residence Gu Jixiao had prepared for the members of the Imperial Dynasty within the Sacred Domain. Although called a mountain, its size was that of a self-contained world, no less impressive than the Heavenly Saint Continent.

Under Chen Guchuan's guidance, the four of them quickly received their own personal Immortal Caves within the mountain.

"Alright, in that case, I'll see you in a year."

Standing at the entrance of his Immortal Cave, Li Xuan spoke to the other four. After bidding each other farewell, they each entered their respective Immortal Caves.

After entering the Immortal Cave and looking at the immortal emperor pill in his hand, Li Xuan's breathing quickened. His eyes then became incredibly determined, and without a second word, he swallowed the Medicinal Pill.

The moment the immortal emperor pill entered his body, Li Xuan felt an incredibly terrifying power disperse from the Medicinal Pill, flowing into his limbs and bones.

And his Realm began to soar continuously the moment the immortal emperor pill entered his body.
