Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427: Taichu Immortal Emperor
"Greetings, Senior Brother Xu Nian!"
Xu Nian walked out of the Supreme Tower.
The passersby around kept saluting Xu Nian.
In the past, these people would completely ignore Xu Nian.
But now, the way they looked at Xu Nian was filled with utmost respect.
Xu Nian responded to each of them without a trace of arrogance.
It has been three years since the incident at the Sky-reaching World.
In these three years, Xu Nian has been diligently cultivating.
Basically, his routine was a triangle between his residence, the Sky-reaching World, and the Supreme Tower.
Just now, Xu Nian successfully passed the third level of the Supreme Tower, taking only 15 minutes.
This meant that Xu Nian’s control over law manifestation had reached an almost perfect state.
Nevertheless, he was still a bit away from the Perfect Realm.
Once law manifestation reaches perfection, its power surely doubles.
"Junior Brother Xu Nian, do you still remember me?"
At this moment, a blue figure appeared in front of Xu Nian as if condensed from water mist, smiling as it spoke.
Xu Nian was taken aback and immediately recognized that this blue figure was the same senior brother who had once guided him in law manifestation.
This was also the sixth direct disciple of Taichu Immortal Emperor, Zhao Qiong.
Taichu Immortal Emperor had a total of six direct disciples.
Zhu Xin was the fourth, Lu Jiang the fifth, and Zhao Qiong was the sixth.
"Of course, I remember, Senior Brother Zhao Qiong." Xu Nian respectfully greeted.
He still held a deep respect for this senior brother in front of him.
Not to mention Zhao Qiong had been good to him, Zhao Qiong’s cultivation at the Immortal King Peak Level was enough for Xu Nian to respect.
"Not bad, you still remember me. I initially wanted to pull you into my combat team, but unexpectedly, the fourth sister got the jump on me." Zhao Qiong said with a laugh.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for thinking highly of me." Xu Nian said with an embarrassed smile.
"It’s fine, after all, we are from the same sect. Following the fourth sister is certainly better than following me. I’ve come to find you today under the orders of our master. He wants me to take you to see him." Zhao Qiong smiled.
"Master?"
Xu Nian was surprised.
Registered disciples usually have a hard time meeting the master.
There’s only one disciples’ lecture every hundred years when they get to meet him.
And now, Taichu Immortal Emperor was actually summoning him alone.
Could it be...
"You’re right in guessing, the master intends to take you as a direct disciple. He witnessed your performance in the Sky-reaching World." Zhao Qiong said with a smile.
Xu Nian was a bit stunned.
He didn’t expect Taichu Immortal Emperor to watch his battles.
"Let’s go, don’t keep the master waiting too long." Zhao Qiong saw Xu Nian’s astonished expression and smiled.
"Alright!" Xu Nian nodded.
With a wave of Zhao Qiong’s hand, the next moment a wave of water attribute elements enveloped Xu Nian.
Then Xu Nian felt the world spinning around him.
When they reappeared, they were already at the entrance of a palace.
"Senior Brother, what law is this?" Xu Nian asked, somewhat surprised.
What Zhao Qiong had just used wasn’t the space law.
It seemed more like a divine skill similar to instant teleportation.
However, reaching the realm of instant teleportation would be impossible in the Immortal Realm without Immortal Emperor Level strength.
"This is the law I comprehended, encompassing all things, enabling rapid movement in an instant, thus having the effect of instant teleportation. However, this kind of movement is only suitable for traveling and escaping, not for combat." Zhao Qiong said with a smile.
Xu Nian nodded, marveling in his heart.
Being able to move so swiftly was indeed impressive.
"This is the master’s usual residence. Although the master isn’t here most of the time, whenever he returns from the Sealing God Battlefield, he meets us brothers here. In the future, if you wish to see the master, you can also come here." Zhao Qiong said with a smile.
Xu Nian observed the surrounding scenery.
This was the peak of a mountain.
The entire mountaintop was cut flat by a single sword.
The palace in front was grand, giving off a dignified and solemn feeling.
"How magnificent and grand this palace is. Just the palace alone emits a strong oppressive presence." Xu Nian said in awe.
"Of course, it’s because the master has lived here for so long, naturally forming a wave of the Heaven and Earth Laws. Moreover, it won’t take long before the master becomes a demigod, at which point the law pressure here will be even stronger." Zhao Qiong said with a smile.
"A demigod?" Xu Nian was slightly surprised.
"A so-called demigod is an existence not far from condensing godhood. In the entire Immortal Realm, the master’s strength ranks in the top three, naturally capable of achieving a divine position." Zhao Qiong said, eyes filled with admiration.
Xu Nian was filled with countless emotions inside.
He was about to face one of the most powerful beings in the entire Immortal Realm.
But Xu Nian quickly calmed down. After having met Even Ye Tian God Emperor, why fear an Immortal Emperor?
"Let’s go, the master has transmitted a message for us to go directly in." Zhao Qiong said.
Xu Nian nodded.
Following Zhao Qiong, he walked into the palace.
The palace was extremely magnificent inside.
But the interior of the palace was completely different from what Xu Nian had imagined.
Instead of extravagant architecture, the palace was filled with books.
If someone said this was a Scripture Pavilion, Xu Nian wouldn’t doubt it at all.
At this moment, a white figure, holding a book, was floating in front of a bookshelf, silently reading.
"Is this Taichu Immortal Emperor?"
Xu Nian looked at Taichu Immortal Emperor before him with a look of surprise.
This Taichu Immortal Emperor looked no different from an ordinary scholar.
He exuded a very refined aura.
"You’re here? Zhao Qiong, you can leave now." Taichu Immortal Emperor said without looking up.
His voice was calm, yet full of authority.
"Yes, Master!" Zhao Qiong nodded quickly.
The next moment, he withdrew from the hall.
From then on, only Xu Nian and Taichu Immortal Emperor were left in the hall.
After a long time, Taichu Immortal Emperor finally looked up at Xu Nian and smiled, asking, "Xu Nian, what do you think is a god?"
What is a god?
Xu Nian didn’t expect Taichu Immortal Emperor to ask such a question.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think a god is still a person, just a more powerful human or other forms of life."
"Haha, what a good answer - a god is still a person. Do you know, with just this simple answer, there are few in the entire Immortal Realm who dare to say it?" Taichu Immortal Emperor laughed heartily.
His eyes became admiring as he looked at Xu Nian.
"Xu Nian, I know you have great talent and possess two divine artifacts, but do you realize that once you enter the Sealing God Battlefield, these two divine artifacts could bring you doom?" Taichu Immortal Emperor said.
"The disciple does not know." Xu Nian responded in surprise.
He had nearly forgotten about it.
After arriving in the Immortal Realm, it seemed that the other major forces had no desire for his divine artifacts.
So he gradually stopped paying attention to the fact that he owned divine artifacts.
Hearing Taichu Immortal Emperor’s words now, he remembered that possessing divine artifacts could indeed bring disaster upon him.
"Many Immortal Emperors already saw you use the divine artifacts in the Mortal World, so once you enter the Sealing God Battlefield, you’ll surely attract their attention. While Immortal Emperors won’t act personally, their disciples will not be so courteous, as there’s an agreement among Immortal Emperors not to interfere in their disciples’ conflicts." Taichu Immortal Emperor explained.
"So, what does Master mean?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
"I think you can delay the matter of joining the fourth sister’s combat team, no rush to enter the Sealing God Battlefield." Taichu Immortal Emperor suggested.
"Yes, Master!" Xu Nian nodded.
Indeed, with his current strength, going to the Sealing God Battlefield holds more risks than benefits.
"As for the matter of the direct disciple, I’ve decided to leave this decision to yourself." Taichu Immortal Emperor said.
"Leave it to me?" Xu Nian looked puzzled.
