Chapter 282 - Sun Hill, Fate Emperor River

Chapter 282: Chapter 282 – Sun Hill, Fate Emperor River

“Bring him up,” Zhou Xuanji said as he nodded. After receiving his orders, Xu Yang quickly descended the mountain.

Following this, Zhou Xuanji had every second generation disciple come up and report on their progress in cultivation.

These second generation disciples were all geniuses and had made great progress. None of them had stage fright and hoped that their Grand-Teacher would praise them.

Jiang Xue, Daoya Old Man, Huang Lianxin, Xiao Jinghong, Lin Changge, and the others sat behind Zhou Xuanji, silently watching.

All of them were sitting cross-legged and there did not seem to be any distance between them.

Fenyu Dragon King and the Four Mountain-Guarding Kings were sitting not too far away, conversing in hushed tones and seeming quite happy.

As the disciples reported their progress, if there was anything Zhou Xuanji was interested in, he would have them perform on the spot.

Currently, the lowest cultivation of the second generation disciples was at the Enlightening stage. This seemed quite low, but they were still young and had a lot of potential.

An hour later, Xu Yang brought Zhang Kuanglan up the mountain. The two of them sat on the side and did not interrupt the second generation disciples giving their reports.

The last person to report was naturally Xu Yang.

This fellow was quite crafty and did not say anything. Instead, he directly showed off the Thirty-six Paths Jade Xiao Sword, performing it much more impressively than the other disciples.

Zhou Xuanji looked at him, thinking to himself.

It was not that he was fascinated by his performance of the sword technique but that he was wondering which powerful ancient being he was reincarnated from.

After he finished, Zhou Xuanji directly waved his hand, signaling that he could go down.

Seeing this, Xu Yang’s expression became devastated.

His entire person seemed to deflate, and seeing this, the other disciples covered their mouths and secretly laughed.

Zhou Xuanji waved his right hand, and Zhang Kuanglan leapt over the disciples’ heads and landed in front of him.

“This boy’s cultivation...” Zhang Kuanglan inwardly felt quite shocked. Every time he met Zhou Xuanji, he seemed to be even stronger.

This was too terrifying.

He felt that if he continued to antagonize Zhou Xuanji, he would never be able to turn his situation around.

“Speak,” Zhou Xuanji said as he looked at Zhang Kuanglan.

At 31 years old, he had experienced endless battles and killing, and he could easily give off an immense might that was difficult to be described. When facing him, ordinary disciples found it incredibly difficult to stay calm.

He had grown to become an expert whose name shook the world.

The Sword Emperor of the current age!

“If I tell you a shocking secret, you must stop tormenting me. I also hope that in the future you will give the Haotian Sect a chance,” Zhang Kuanglan said as he knelt before Zhou Xuanji and gritted his teeth.

Over the past few years, he had done a lot of thinking.

He felt that Zhou Xuanji would change the status quo in the Northern Wilderness, and it would be very difficult for the Haotian Sect to stand up against him. As such, he wanted to dispel the enmity between the two sides.

“That depends on what the secret is,” Zhou Xuanji did not immediately promise, and Zhang Kuanglan glanced at the disciples, hinting for Zhou Xuanji to have the second generation disciples leave.

However, Zhou Xuanji did not do anything.

Zhang Kuanglan sighed and began to tell this massive secret.

“Back then, the Haotian Sect and Tanhua Sect dominated the demonic path and even suppressed righteous sects. If it wasn’t for the Hegemon Sword Emperor becoming a Great Emperor, how could they have gone into decline? What I’m going to tell you about is how the Hegemon Sword Emperor became a Great Emperor, and why there were no more Great Emperors after him!” Whenever Zhang Kuanglan brought up the Hegemon Sword Emperor, he would gnash his teeth.

The Haotian Sect and Tanhua Sect were mortal enemies, but the Hegemon Sword Emperor was their common enemy.

Zhang Kuanglan revealed that there was a method to become a Great Emperor, which was to find Fate Emperor River.

As long as one had sufficient cultivation and could withstand the washing of Fate Emperor River, one would become a Great Emperor and become unrivaled.

Even after ascending to the Upper Realm, Great Emperors could dominate a whole area.

After the Hegemon Sword Emperor became a Great Emperor, he had sealed Fate Emperor River. Very few people knew about this, and only the Tanhua Sect and Haotian Sect had clues about it. They did not spread information about this, nor were they able to break open the seal.

“Fate Emperor River? Where is it?” Zhou Xuanji asked as he narrowed his eyes, and the others all had varying expressions.

Most of the second generation disciples felt quite shocked; they had never thought that the Hegemon Sword Emperor of the legends would be so vicious and selfish.

By doing this, he had cut off the hope of many later generations; this was incredibly despicable.

“At Sun Hill,” Zhang Kuanglan said as he sighed. Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.

Sun Hill!

Wasn’t that Yang Di’s territory?

The little black snake called out, “No wonder Yang Di is so heaven-defying! Is it because of Fate Emperor River?

“I knew it, otherwise how could there be such a ridiculously overpowered figure in the world!”

It subconsciously glanced at Zhou Xuanji and did not say any more.

“In other words, in order to find Fate Emperor River, I have to defeat Yang Di? How do we know if Yang Di has become a Great Emperor?” Zhou Xuanji asked. Yang Di could easily defeat the number two in the world; could it be that he had already become a Great Emperor?

Zhang Kuanglan shook his head and said, “If he had done so, there would definitely be world-shaking signs, and all creatures would know. Yang Di temporarily cannot break open the Hegemon Sword Emperor’s seal, but if he becomes the ruler of the world, he will absorb all living creatures’ Fate, causing himself to become stronger. His energy technique allows him to absorb Fate, and this is the reason he was able to rise so quickly,” Zhang Kuanglan said, his tone somewhat complicated. Having to look up at someone from a later generation was not a good feeling.

Zhou Xuanji looked at him and said, “After saying all this, what’s the point? In the end, I still have to defeat Yang Di.”

Even though this information was important, it was not enough for him to let off the Xinhao Sect and Haoqi Alliance.

Zhang Kuanglan sighed and said, “Defeating Yang Di is too difficult. By the time you complete your cultivation, he will have long since become a Great Emperor, and the gap between you will become greater and greater. However, if you let me go, I can revive the Haotian Sect’s Devil Ancestor. When the time comes, we can join with you and Xian Xianghua and might have a chance at victory!”

Haotian Sect’s Devil Ancestor?

Everyone was sent into an uproar; just from this name, they could tell that this was not a good person.

This was definitely a trap!

“Hmph, keep dreaming!” Chongming Demon Monarch said discourteously, “Worst comes to worst, we’ll just let Yang Di become a Great Emperor. After he ascends, we can take Fate Emperor River.”

Chongming Demon Monarch looked at Zhang Kuanglan as if he was an idiot, making Zhang Kuanglan tremble with anger.

“That’s right, keep dreaming. Yang Di can only be defeated by me!”

A cold and arrogant voice sounded out, causing everyone to stand in shock.

Jihuang Demon Lord!

The demon race’s sovereign had come!

He stood next to the cliff and looked at them with a smile that did not seem like a smile, and his gaze was locked onto Zhou Xuanji.

“Jiang Wudi has already headed to Duantian Cliff; who can help you now?” Jihuang Demon Lord coldly laughed as he asked, his voice filled with excitement.

The Tianxia Map was right in front of his eyes.

Facing this powerful enemy, everyone felt cold sweat run down their bodies.

That day, they had all seen the terrifying scene of Jihuang Demon Lord battling with Jiang Wudi.

Zhou Xuanji held onto two swords as he stepped out—the Ancient God Sword in his left hand and the Sky Extinguishing Sword in his right hand!

He walked in front of everyone and looked at Jihuang Demon Lord as he disdainfully smiled and said, “You know nothing about power.”

His current self could sense the spirit energy within any living creature.

Jihuang Demon Lord’s spirit energy was like a proud sun, and in comparison, the Great Realization stage Ning Zifeng and Lin Changge were like ordinary flames; they could not compare at all.

However, for him, Jihuang Demon Lord was not an unconquerable existence anymore.

Moreover, he did not seem like he was fully recovered from his severe injury.

Zhou Xuanji’s body became golden and heavenly lightning wrapped around him, making him look like a lightning god.

He walked towards Jihuang Demon Lord, and his powerful aura caused everyone behind him to feel a sense of safety and security.

“You’ve become stronger; no wonder you’re so arrogant. However, you dare to discuss power in front of me? What a joke!” Jihuang Demon Lord laughed as he shook his head. In his eyes, Zhou Xuanji was just a stupid boy.

No matter how strong a Spirit Refinement stage cultivator was, he could not contend with him!
