Chapter 1471 Ancient Wasteland Alliance

Chapter 1471 Ancient Wasteland Alliance

The golden cicada youth’s gaze shifted to Zhao Yuanji, the empress, Zhao Tailai and the principal of Qinglu Academy.0

Lin Xun also noticed that among the powerful Quasi-Emperors currently distributed across the Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory were a dozen of tyrannical figures including Ancestor Blood Lotus, the blood-coloured moth, Wu Jiuzhong and Gou Tianxing.0

It was unknown when the Sever Dao Tribulation had been resolved, but the remaining Quasi-Emperors were all recovering and tending to their injuries.0

They were unaware that, except for them, the other Quasi-Emperors had already been subdued and contained by the golden cicada youth. 0

“Elder, where are you taking them?” asked Lin Xun. 0

“Ancient Nebula Road,” stated the golden cicada youth. “Zhao Yuanji has survived the Sever Dao Tribulation, so it won’t be long before he sets foot into the true Emperor Stage. If he could breakthrough in the Ancient Nebula Road, then perhaps he might be recommended to join the Ancient Wasteland Alliance.0

“The Ancient Wasteland Alliance is made up of powerful figures at the Emperor Stage. When a new Emperor member joins, they can bring three to five Quasi-Emperor as followers with them.0

“Although they are called followers, anyone who joins the Ancient Wasteland Alliance and trains alongside an Emperor expert has a higher chance of overcoming future tribulations and becoming an Emperor.”0

Lin Xun exclaimed, “Ancient Wasteland Alliance?”0

The golden cicada youth smiled faintly, “When you step onto the Ancient Nebula Road in the future, you will learn about the Ancient Wasteland Alliance.”0

Only then did Lin Xun understand that the golden cicada youth was doing a favor for Zhao Yuanji, the empress, and also Zhao Tailai.0

“But, those guys...” Lin Xun looked doubtfully at Ancestor Blood Lotus, Wu Jiuzhong, Gou Tianxing and the others. 0

“To you, they are enemies, but no matter what, they are still Quasi-Emperors and have hopes of becoming Emperors in the future. The reason that I am taking them with me is because I not only want to give them a chance, but also give the Ancient Wasteland Domain a chance.” The golden cicada youth explained, “Moreover, quite a few of the ancient sages of their respective clans are now part of the Ancient Wasteland Alliance. If I take them with me, then the sages of their respective clans will owe me a favor.”0

At this point, Lin Xun truly understood the golden cicada youth. His every move and every action had deep meaning; he was preparing for the future!1

“Then the Quasi-Emperors who have been subdued...”0

Before Lin Xun could finish, the golden cicada youth interrupted with a smile, “The Conflict of the Nine Domains is near. As Quasi-Emperors, they should contribute to the Ancient Wasteland Domain. This is exactly what I wanted to entrust you with.”0

He handed the ice snow leaf to Lin Xun and instructed, “When you go to the Nine Domains Battlefield, if you have a chance, take this to the Frontline Battlefield that is guarded by Quasi-Emperor experts. At that time, if the sealed Quasi-Emperors want to be freed, their only choice is to serve the Ancient Wasteland Domain and atone for their sins.”0

A feeling of respect and admiration surged up in Lin Xun’s heart, and he accepted the ice snow leaf with both hands. 0

Every arrangement that the golden cicada youth made was in the interest of the Ancient Wasteland Domain. His great mind and ambition moved Lin Xun deeply. 0

This reminded Lin Xun of influential figures such as Sword Emperor Taixuan, Saint Buddha Xingjia and Battle Emperor Mo Yang, who shared the same ambition: Make every effort within their powers to benefit the world and to benefit the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain!0

“The time is near, say goodbye to them,” said the golden cicada youth aloud. 0

Lin Xun looked taken aback, and he quickly gathered his thoughts and looked at Zhao Yuanji, Zhao Tailai and the others in the bowl of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Transformed World.0

To his surprise, Zhao Yuanji and the others seemed to have already been notified, and they all expressed their feelings. 0

“I could only overcome the Sever Dao Tribulation today because of Lu Boya’s guidance back then. Lin Xun, I owe Lu Boya a huge favor, and I will pay it back one day. Lin Xun, you must also continue to work hard and strive to set foot on the Ancient Nebula Road one day.” Zhao Yuanji had a rare gentleness in his expression and then he sighed emotionally. “I won’t say any more. I just have another piece of advice for you: The great dao is full of hardships, but keep forging ahead. Take care, kid!”  0

Lin Xun felt a warm, fuzzy feeling. 0

Ever since he entered the Forbidden City, he rarely had any encounters with the man who wielded supreme power in the empire.0

But he knew that the other party was always silently watching over him. 0

Back then, it was also under Zhao Yuanji’s orders that Blood Kill King Zhao Tailai gave him and his Lin Clan a helping hand many times!0

“Elder, thank you for your teachings,” Lin Xun responded solemnly.0

“A part of Qinglu Academy is also Lu Boya’s hard work. Lin Xun, if you want to know the truth, you must be fully prepared,” said the principal of Qinglu Academy in a gentle voice. 0

“Hahaha, boy, I hope that when we meet again in the future, we can fight side by side and kill to our heart’s content.” Zhao Tailai laughed heartily.  0

“From now on, the affairs of the empire will be left to the Heavenly Seer of the stargazing platform.” When the empress said that, her expression changed strangely, “Also, you must take good care of Jingxuan. If I find out that you have bullied her, I won’t let you off.”0

Lin Xun nodded, a little taken aback. Are they going to entrust me with Jingxuan?0

“Is this your response?” The empress sounded a little dissatisfied. 0

Lin Xun inhaled deeply and reassured her in a serious tone of voice, “Elder, don’t worry, I guarantee that I will take good care of Jingxuan and won’t let her suffer.”  0

The empress snorted coldly. “Are you still calling me ‘elder’?” 0

Lin Xun was taken aback again, feeling a little wronged, but he still reassured her, “Auntie, don’t worry.”0

The empress nodded as if she was satisfied. Immediately, her face clouded over. “Actually, I really want to arrange a wedding for you two before leaving...”0

Lin Xun was so embarrassed that he did not know what to say.0

Zhao Yuanji interjected, “Alright, let the youngsters take care of their own affairs. You and I should not give them more trouble.”0

The empress snapped, “What do you mean by trouble? I am talking about the future of our daughter. As parents, should we not care about it at all?”0

Zhao Yuanji’s expression froze, and he smiled helplessly.1

Lin Xun was speechless. 0

“Little friend, don’t forget about Sunset Current Valley.”0

Suddenly, the white-clad young man called Fei Lan, who was the transformed blood-colored moth, spoke aloud, “Since my old friend has acknowledged your identity, you must not let him down.” 0

“Golden cicada, please return the bow to the little friend.”0

Fei Lan fluttered his sleeve and the No-Nonsense Bow soared into the air. 0

“The No-Nonsense Bow…”0

The golden cicada youth stretched out his hand and the bow appeared in front of them out of nowhere. He studied it for a brief moment, eyes glowing with wonder. “The person who created this bow back then is an extraordinary person. Of course, the bow’s weapon spirit is also extraordinary.”0

As he spoke, he handed the No-Nonsense Bow to Lin Xun. “The master of this bow is called ‘Tianque,’ and he was an archenemy of an ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan. One day, Tianque mysteriously disappeared while exploring the Kunlun Dominion and only the bow returned to the world. It was from then on that the weapon spirit of the bow vowed to eradicate the Golden Crow Clan.0

“It’s a pity that the bow alone was no match for the ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan. As a result, the bow’s weapon spirit was suppressed and brought back to Sunset Current Valley, while the bow ended up in Return Dominion.”0

Lin Xun finally learnt about the origins of the No-Nonsense Bow, and his emotions fluctuated like a roller coaster. 0

Only then did he know that the master of No-Nonsense Bow was a powerful figure called Tianque!0

He couldn’t help asking, “Elder, who was the ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan?”0

The golden cicada youth thought for a moment before he answered, “When you find the weapon spirit of the No-Nonsense Bow, you will naturally understand.”0

The feud involved a lot, and he did not want Lin Xun to get involved now unless necessary.0

“Golden cicada, why don’t you tell him that the ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan is the Demon Crow Great Emperor who now serves as the Grand Steward in the Ancient Wasteland Alliance?” The white cicada maiden suddenly sniggered. “That old guy has a surly and perverse personality and is very vindictive. If he knows that the No-Nonsense Bow is now in that boy’s hand, haha…”0

The golden cicada young man frowned. “A’Bai...”0

“I already told you that you’re not allowed to call me that name again!” The white cicada maiden’s beautiful face was overcast with a fierce frown. 0

 “Fine.”0

The golden cicada youth sighed and with a flick of his sleeve, blocked off the connection with the Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory.0

Lin Xun then asked aloud, “Elder, is the Demon Crow Great Emperor the culprit who suppressed the No-Nonsense Bow’s weapon spirit?”0

The golden cicada youth nodded. “However, this matter has nothing to do with you. Even if the Demon Crow Great Emperor knows that the No-Nonsense Bow is in your hands, he won’t be able to return from the Ancient Nebula Road.”0

“But what if I enter the Ancient Nebula Road one day?” asked Lin Xun.0

The golden cicada youth went silent for a moment before he answered, “Then, you have to be wary of the Demon Crow Great Emperor like he is your number one enemy.”1

That sentence sent a chill to Lin Xun’s heart and made him realize that the Demon Crow Great Emperor had to be an extremely terrifying emperor-level existence.1

“It’s time to go.” The golden cicada youth seemed to sense something as he suddenly raised his head. 0

“Little friend, you should leave too. Take care!” He turned around, gave a warm smile and then waved his sleeve. 0

Shua!0

Instantly, stars seemed to be shifting before Lin Xun’s eyes and when his vision was restored, the others had already been teleported away from the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace.0

“All good things must come to an end. Little friend, quickly go.” The clear and pleasant voice of the golden cicada youth rang from the palace entrance. 0

Then, the entire Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace quaked fiercely, followed by multiple cracks splitting the sky, producing a terrifying taboo aura that made everything turn dim and dark. 0

The Confinement Barrier Tribulation!0

Since ancient times, it had turned the Ancient Wasteland Domain into a prison cage, blocking the cultivators from exploring the cultivation paths in the outside world!0

Swoosh!0

Then, high above the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace, a young man was treading barefoot up the sky, the bowl of Ten Thousand Tribulation Transformed World in his hand. His hemp garment billowed in the air as he rose higher and higher towards a crack that appeared, treating the sky like a set of steps. 0

He had a look of utmost tranquility on his face, and his movements were confident and relaxed. Soaring into the sky, he exuded the authority and superior power of the Emperor Stage.   0

The taboo tribulation power was swept away, crushed, and eliminated in the cracks before they descended upon the world. 0

Lin Xun’s eyes shot wide open and bulged with astonishment and fear.0

The Emperor Stage!0

He was indeed a great Emperor!0

Boom!0

When Lin Xun recovered from the shock, the figure of the golden cicada youth had grown infinitely larger in the sky, spanning the entire void.0

Then, he rapidly ascended like a trapped dragon rising into heaven!0

The scene would be etched on Lin Xun’s mind for eternity. A great Emperor had set off on a journey, making it impossible for any disaster or tribulation to come near!
