94: Heading to Xianlei Mountain

However, their messages did not receive a response from Gu Jixiao.

After all, Gu Jixiao was currently fully focused on his Cultivation; how could he have any attention to spare for the communication jade talisman?

Hearing this, Xu Daoshan pondered for a moment before looking at Wu Tianxie and speaking.

"I remember you mentioned that one of our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's branch pavilion masters became Your Majesty's concubine, right?"

"Yes, that branch pavilion master is named Shen Qingyu," Wu Tianxie hurriedly replied.

"In that case, contact Shen Qingyu and have her inform Your Majesty of this matter. We will head to Immortal Thunder Mountain first."

After giving the instructions, Xu Daoshan and several Great Emperors from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion rushed toward Immortal Thunder Mountain.

After all, that was an existence at least at the level of an Imperial Weapon. If they could obtain it, it would undoubtedly be a massive help to their Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Meanwhile, Wu Tianxie took out a communication jade talisman and contacted Shen Qingyu.

Almost a moment later, Shen Qingyu's voice came through.

"Pavilion Master, may I ask if there is some urgent matter for which you are contacting me?"

Wu Tianxie did not dare to delay and quickly informed Shen Qingyu of the situation in detail.

Shen Qingyu was now Gu Jixiao's woman, after all; perhaps she had a way of contacting Gu Jixiao that they didn't know about.

After he finished speaking, there was no response from Shen Qingyu's side of the communication jade talisman for a long time. This caused Wu Tianxie to frown slightly as he asked.

"Qingyu, are you listening?"

"I am, I'm listening. Pavilion Master, you don't need to worry about this. Currently, Husband has two Peak Great Emperors stationed there, and he has also successfully subdued the Tianguang Holy Land."

"Therefore, this matter shouldn't be a big problem for Husband."

Shen Qingyu's words were like a shot of adrenaline for Wu Tianxie, instantly putting his mind at ease.

After regaining his composure, Wu Tianxie remembered something and spoke with a somewhat awkward tone: "Qingyu, I have a presumptuous request."

"Please speak, Pavilion Master."

Wu Tianxie had taken good care of Shen Qingyu in the past, so unless it was an extremely excessive request, Shen Qingyu would not refuse.

"I want Your Majesty to hand Great Emperor Leiting over to me to deal with after he has been crippled."

"Ahem, but don't worry, Great Emperor Leiting must die. I just want to avenge the insult I suffered from him."

Wu Tianxie was extremely vengeful. If he couldn't get revenge on the spot, he would definitely look for an opportunity to retaliate in secret later.

Thus, there had always been a rumor in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion: you want to be safe after offending the Pavilion Master? Not that easy!

Shen Qingyu had originally thought it would be some excessive request, so upon hearing it was such a trivial matter, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't worry, Pavilion Master. I will mention this to Husband. If nothing unexpected happens, Husband shouldn't refuse."

Based on Shen Qingyu's understanding of Gu Jixiao, he was only fierce toward outsiders and treated his own people very well.

Moreover, this wasn't an excessive request, so Gu Jixiao likely wouldn't refuse.

Seeing this, Wu Tianxie breathed a sigh of relief and ended the communication.

After the communication ended, Wu Tianxie looked toward Immortal Thunder Mountain with a solemn expression. As if thinking of something, he bowed his head and murmured.

"I can't contact Your Majesty. Could it be that Your Majesty has gone to Immortal Thunder Mountain?"

Other than this possibility, Wu Tianxie couldn't think of any other explanation.

Meanwhile, in the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, Shen Qingyu put away the communication jade talisman and took out another specially made one.

As Gu Jixiao's women, the treatment Gu Jixiao gave Shen Qingyu and Ying Lanfeng was naturally different from others.

Therefore, both of them had a communication jade talisman specifically for contacting Gu Jixiao.

Injecting Spiritual Power into the communication jade talisman, Gu Jixiao, who was in Immortal Thunder Mountain, almost instantly felt the message from Shen Qingyu.

This caused his brow to furrow slightly, but he still connected the communication jade talisman.

"What happened?"

Shen Qingyu was his woman, after all, so if there was an important matter, he still needed to answer.

As Gu Jixiao connected the communication jade talisman, Shen Qingyu quickly recounted everything Wu Tianxie had told her.

Upon learning that the Thunder Holy Land and Violet Flame Holy Land were calling for an alliance of all Ninth-grade and above forces on the Heavenly Saint Continent to act against the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, Gu Jixiao laughed instead of getting angry.

"Hahaha, good. What I want is for them to be the first to make a move."

"You don't need to worry about this. As for what Wu Tianxie mentioned, I agree. You can just tell him."

After speaking, Gu Jixiao put away the communication jade talisman and focused entirely on absorbing and refining the power of thunder.

However, Gu Jixiao didn't notice that under his absorption, the power of thunder was actually slowly decreasing.

On the other side, outside Immortal Thunder Mountain.

Great Emperor Leiting and Great Emperor Ziyan arrived outside Immortal Thunder Mountain one after the other.

Feeling the violent power within Immortal Thunder Mountain, both of their expressions turned solemn.

"It seems that some kind of change has occurred at the peak of Immortal Thunder Mountain. At the very least, a treasure at the level of an Imperial Weapon or higher has emerged."

Great Emperor Leiting was the first to speak, and then he charged into Immortal Thunder Mountain.

But the moment he entered, the violent power of lightning poured down, forcing Great Emperor Leiting back.

"What!"

Great Emperor Leiting showed a look of shock because he felt that the power of this thunder had actually strengthened.

One must know that Great Emperor Leiting had tested it before; with his strength, he could completely reach a distance of about a hundred feet from the peak of Immortal Thunder Mountain. But now, he was blasted out just after entering?

Feeling this change, Great Emperor Leiting's expression became even more solemn, but his heart was faintly filled with excitement.

After all, with such a huge change, didn't it mean that the grade of the supreme treasure appearing in Immortal Thunder Mountain was extremely high?

To the side, Great Emperor Ziyan also felt this commotion. His expression was solemn, and he also secretly began to prepare.

Once such a supreme treasure was obtained, it would likely be enough to have an unimaginable impact on the entire Heavenly Saint Continent.

In the next moment, Great Emperor Tianguang also arrived.

Upon seeing Great Emperor Tianguang, Great Emperor Leiting snorted coldly.

"Tianguang, now that we have brought together all the Ninth-grade and above forces of the Heavenly Saint Continent to act together, are you still going to remain stubborn?"

Hearing this, Great Emperor Tianguang's expression remained unmoved, and his tone was flat.

"I'm sorry, my Tianguang Holy Land has no intention of interfering in the disputes of other forces, so you should give up on that idea."

"Good, good, good! In that case, we'll see what your Tianguang Holy Land will do after we take down the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty!"

The blatant threat in Great Emperor Leiting's tone still didn't cause a change on Great Emperor Tianguang's Face.

Seeing this, Great Emperor Leiting ignored him and looked toward Immortal Thunder Mountain, waiting for the commotion to disappear.

After the three of them, more Great Emperors arrived one after another.

But upon seeing the three of them—Great Emperor Leiting and the others—their expressions changed, and they immediately retreated.

These three were the strongest existences on the Heavenly Saint Continent. If they had their eyes on the supreme treasure of Immortal Thunder Mountain, wouldn't anyone else making a move be seeking death?

Between certain death and retreating, they knew how to choose.

Inside Immortal Thunder Mountain, Gu Jixiao was focused on his Cultivation, and his own cultivation base was rising at an extremely fast speed.

As time passed minute by minute, soon two full days had gone by.

Outside Immortal Thunder Mountain, Great Emperor Leiting and the other two were already prepared. Feeling the power of thunder within Immortal Thunder Mountain gradually weakening, they waited for the moment it dissipated to charge in.

The moment the power of thunder dissipated, the three of them rushed toward the peak of Immortal Thunder Mountain without a word.

Upon entering Immortal Thunder Mountain, the power of thunder they had previously expected did not fall again.

This left the three of them bewildered. What exactly had happened to make the power of thunder in Immortal Thunder Mountain disappear?

However, the three of them didn't slow down in the slightest.

Without the interference of the power of thunder, the three of them appeared at the peak of Immortal Thunder Mountain in just a single breath.

Floating at the peak of Immortal Thunder Mountain was a purple orb the size of a fist, its surface still entwined with streaks of lightning power.

The moment he saw that purple orb, Great Emperor Leiting's breathing became rapid.

Perhaps because he Cultivated a lightning-related Cultivation Technique, Great Emperor Leiting could see the extraordinary nature of that purple orb with just one glance.

Naturally, Great Emperor Ziyan and Great Emperor Tianguang could see it as well.

In the next moment, all three of them wanted to directly seize the orb.

But to their surprise, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the purple orb and took it into his hand.

Seeing the orb being taken, Great Emperor Leiting's expression couldn't help but turn angry as he charged toward Gu Jixiao.

"Kid, hand that thing over to me!"

To the side, Great Emperor Ziyan did not follow suit. Instead, he looked at Gu Jixiao with a wary expression.

Although Gu Jixiao did not emit a particularly obvious aura, perhaps because Great Emperor Ziyan was the strongest among the three, his intuition told him that Gu Jixiao was likely extremely powerful.

Looking back at Great Emperor Tianguang, he was completely stunned the moment he saw Gu Jixiao.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Gu Jixiao to appear here.

But thinking back to the abnormalities over the past two days, he was enlightened.

Indeed, if a wild supreme treasure appeared, how could the Peak Great Emperors of the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty not come?

The only reasonable explanation was that this commotion was caused by the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.

What shocked Great Emperor Tianguang the most was that when he last saw Gu Jixiao, he was only a Peak Quasi-Emperor. Why had he made a Breakthrough to Peak Great Emperor so quickly?

Yes, in Great Emperor Tianguang's heart at this moment, Gu Jixiao was already a Peak Great Emperor.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he could see through his cultivation base before but couldn't now.

In an instant, Great Emperor Leiting charged in front of Gu Jixiao and reached out to grab the purple orb.

Watching Great Emperor Leiting make his move, Gu Jixiao frowned slightly, raised his hand, and directly thrust out a spear.

The moment he saw that spear, Great Emperor Leiting's expression changed drastically.

Because that was a genuine Imperial Weapon, and combined with the close distance and his slight contempt for Gu Jixiao.

Great Emperor Leiting couldn't block this strike and was sent flying.

At the critical moment, Great Emperor Ziyan appeared behind him and stopped Great Emperor Leiting.

The stopped Great Emperor Leiting was pale, his eyes trembling, and Great Emperor Ziyan beside him was the same.

"Who exactly are you? There doesn't seem to be anyone like you in the Heavenly Saint Continent!"

Having taken that hit from Gu Jixiao, Great Emperor Leiting was already heavily injured. He looked at Gu Jixiao with a nasty expression and questioned him.

But Gu Jixiao didn't take Great Emperor Leiting to heart. He put the purple orb into the System space, and the information immediately appeared.

[tianlei orb: Immortal-grade supreme treasure, born of heaven and earth. It contains vast power of thunder and can recover on its own once exhausted.]

"tianlei orb? It's a good item. Now I can use it to Cultivate."

Gu Jixiao was surprised; clearly, he hadn't expected to obtain such a treasure.

Meanwhile, seeing that Gu Jixiao didn't even take him seriously, Great Emperor Leiting's anger flared up. He looked at Great Emperor Ziyan and spoke.

"Ziyan, let's attack together. After we take him down, the tianlei orb will be yours!"

At this moment, Great Emperor Leiting was extremely furious and impulsive, even willing to give up the tianlei orb.

After all, among the three Peak Great Emperors of the Heavenly Saint Continent, the one who cared most about Face was Great Emperor Leiting.

Although it was because he had looked down on Gu Jixiao that the sneak attack succeeded, it also fully proved that Gu Jixiao was at least an existence at the level of a Peak Great Emperor.

Therefore, only by bringing Great Emperor Ziyan along to attack together would it be possible to take down Gu Jixiao.

Hearing Great Emperor Leiting say this, Great Emperor Ziyan lowered his head and thought for a moment before looking at Great Emperor Tianguang not far away.

"Tianguang, what about you? Are you not interested in the supreme treasure?"

Looking back at Great Emperor Tianguang, Great Emperor Leiting also remembered the other's existence and spoke.

"Tianguang, let's attack together. When the time comes, the supreme treasure will be left for you two to distribute. I don't want any of it; I only want him dead!"

Great Emperor Leiting originally thought that since he had said this, Great Emperor Tianguang wouldn't refuse.

After all, the opponent was just one Peak Great Emperor, while they had three.

Although he was already heavily injured, he was still a Peak Great Emperor, regardless.

Moreover, since Gu Jixiao had brought out an Imperial Weapon, it fully demonstrated that Gu Jixiao was not simple and had a very deep foundation.

He wanted nothing and would leave it for them to distribute; no matter how you looked at it, they were the ones profiting.

But to Great Emperor Leiting's surprise, Great Emperor Tianguang walked straight up to Gu Jixiao and bowed without a word.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

As Great Emperor Tianguang's words fell, Great Emperor Leiting and Great Emperor Ziyan were first stunned, then quickly reacted, looking at Gu Jixiao and speaking in disbelief.

"You are the Emperor of that Ancient Heavenly Dynasty?"

"Gentlemen, let me introduce myself. I am Gu Jixiao, the Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty."

Gu Jixiao looked at Great Emperor Leiting and the other man with a gentle smile, but it carried a high-and-mighty pressure.

After speaking to the two, Gu Jixiao looked at Great Emperor Tianguang and reached out to help him up, his tone flat.

"You should be glad you didn't attack with them. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind leveling your Tianguang Holy Land to the ground."

Although Great Emperor Tianguang hadn't attacked, he could see that the other man had the intention to do so but chose to wait and see.

Otherwise, the moment Great Emperor Leiting attacked him, Great Emperor Tianguang should have stepped in to stop him.
