The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 982 Bladelord Era Emperor

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty." Threesword sighed in relief. He thought that with Han Li's train of thought, he would be punished as well.

He knew he was already discovered the moment Han Li stepped on the plateau. It's just Han Li ignored his existence as if he didn't sense him there. He was aware that there was no escape for people who Han Li branded as enemies as, so he didn't even think about fleeing for his life and instead owned it up.

Fortunately, Han Li was in the mood to forgive him. He was a powerful emperor but he was nothing but a fly in Han Li's eyes.

"You spent resources to invest in this land, and find an opportunity to prove your Word." Jin Rou said, "But with your level, it's more difficult than the previous ones."

Threesword Era Emperor was an 8-Words Era Emperor. He was already an extremely strong emperor by this level and no one would dare threaten him or his sect. And now, he was trying to attempt to become a 9-Words Era Emperor. But he couldn't see the exact opportunity and his luck.

He had been here for so many years now, but he couldn't feel a chance to prove his Word here.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'm already stuck and don't know how to advance further. The plateau is not helping me much." Threesword shook his head with a sigh. He was still here because he was hoping to success in the end.

"The concept of Word Proving is an endless depth. You cannot fathom how difficult it will be or how easy it will be. You're already here for at leasta hundred thousand years now with no fruits." Jin Rou said, "It's because the place is not the right place you should be."

"So Hundred Dragons Plateau will not help me?" Threesword's voice shook. He spent so much in this land already and he couldn't go without getting anything.

"You assumed this piece of land will help you, and even spent resources for it. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen." Jin Rou drilled this reality to Threesword, "Threesword Era Emperor, this land will never help you advance."

He's saying this out of considerations for his big brother. He didn't want Threesword to spend his life here and just got nothing in the end.

"So where can I advance, Your Majesty?" Threesword's expression was dark. There was no need to doubt Han Li's words. He had no reason to deceive him, a lowly emperor.

"Threesword, it seems you are taking Word Proving lightly due to your easy path towards imperial." Jin Rou tried to remind him, "If you can just find opportunities in a vast land and pour resources to it to generate luck, do you think many era emperors will be low-leveled until now?"

Jin Rou got a point. Proving a Word required many factors and resources wasn't the only thing it needed to exact luck and opportunities.

Threesword was instantly enlightened and realized he had been going the path the wrong manner. He clenched his fists and said, "Threesword understands now. Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."

Era emperors like Threesword needed guidance the most especially their paths were getting harder and more arduous. However, more often than not, they couldn't even seek guidance as emperors liked to move alone and find the answers themselves. It was always the routine and would always be the routine.

It was very rare to have an advice from extraordinary beings like Han Li. So meeting him and being guided by him was a blessing of heaven and earth itself.

"Oh right, I remembered something." Jin Rou suddenly remembered something when Blade Immortal popped in his mind, "I killed your ancestor wielding ten blades. When Coinlost appeared in the north, your Blade Immortal wanted to have a piece of that pie despite being here in the west."

Hearing this, Threesword's blood turned cold. Those idiots actually reached their hands in the north and even offended His Majesty? It seemed that he had to make an official decree and discipline his people, "I will make sure to give appropriate measures, Your Majesty."

Jin Rou nodded and shifted the topic, "Your big brother, is he still alive?"

Threesword shuddered after hearing the question. He found it difficult to answer and how to answer this question.

Seeing this, Jin Rou already got the answer he was looking for and sighed, "I see. So even he couldn't survive the trial."

"Big Brother Bladelord has always admired you to the fullest extent, Your Majesty. He always treasured your advices and guidance to him. He wanted to be stronger and become of help under you." Threesword was gloomy as he said, "Unfortunately, the Emperor Trial killed him, too. Just like..."

He was talking about Bladelord Era Emperor, the second emperor of Blade Immortal. Out of all the emperors under the lineage, he was the one who stood out and shone the most.

Being a 10-Words, Bladelord Era Emperor managed to sweep realms after realms by a single command of his hand. He was like a brilliant sun shining the day with his light. Many had adored and idolized him. Some even treated him like a god.

Unfortunately, it was all a short-lived fantasy when Bladelord tried to overcome Emperor Trial. It was a trial for era emperors with 10-Words. Once you overcome the trial, you would have the chance to become an 11-Words, or if luck would have it, become a 12-Words even.

But the thing was, Emperor Trial had killed many brilliant emperors in the past. It had a mortality rate of 97%. Meaning, out of 100 10-Words Era Emperors, 97 will die and 3 would overcome it successfully.

Jin Rou sighed and remembered that Han Li taught Bladelord how to hold his blade and make it sharper to slash enemies with one shot. His memories suddenly flooded Jin Rou as he felt an indescribable pain inside.

Bladelord held an important place in Han Li's heart as he was one of the students he truly nurtured with all he got.
