Chapter 5208: You Can Live!

“This little guy was quite strong in his previous life. Looks like I have to help you again!” The true spirit’s eyes rolled around, and the fleshy whiskers at the corner of its mouth fluttered.
“Never mind, it’s all prepared for you sooner or later. Here, take this Demon Sealing Ring!” With a casual flick of its hand, a golden ring was thrown into the sky.
This action caused a furrow in Zhu Yi’s brow, the guardian of the Original Universe, She inwardly cursed, “This old guy is becoming shameless, casually throwing the eternal treasure to a mere Grand Yan Immortal.”
Although the true spirit controlled the Qishen Temple, she was created by the old master and was specifically responsible for overseeing the peak-level trials.
The trials for the Grand Yan Immortals across the five major domains of the world, corresponding to the five major domain realms of the Original Universe, were under the jurisdiction of her Vermilion Bird Temple. Now, due to the chaos caused by the true spirit, her plans were completely disrupted.
Peak-level trials emphasized fairness. By giving Huiqing special treatment, she had no choice but to distribute legacies to other primitive stars in advance.
“Zhu Yi, is that old true spirit overestimating the Grand Yan Immortals too much?” A powerful warrior in cyan armor strode into the ancient hall, clearly displeased.
Although she also disagreed with the true spirit’s actions, the Original Universe was her foundation. These selected Grand Yan Immortals, once successful in their Dao merge, would become her subordinates. Only the strongest few would inherit the Qishen legacy. As for the rest, after rigorous selection, they were considered outstanding talents. Since the Qishen Temple invested so many resources, they wouldn’t waste them; these talents would undoubtedly be brought under their wing.
In other words, these Grand Yan Immortals were under her command.
“Long Yi, why is the Bloodthirsty Continent eyeing those Emperors? What brings you here?” Zhu Yi’s face was stern, her voice low, “And these Grand Yan Immortals are mine. Whether it’s important or not, it’s not for you to judge! Hurry back to your Bloodthirsty Continent.”
“Haha, I like your temper!” Long Yi wasn’t offended; instead, he sat casually on a nearby throne, chuckling, “l do have important matters this time. I heard that Zhu Qi went to other universes to plunder and control the Ultimate Dao of Grand Yan Immortals. She was almost killed by a tier 6 Emperor. I’m just here out of concern, to take a look.”
It was true that the Grand Yan Immortals from the Original Universe couldn’t fully satisfy the most challenging trials of the Qishen Temple. Following the instructions of the true spirit, Vermilion Bird Temple sent out six remaining Vermilion Bird envoys besides her to plunder other universes. Unfortunately, in one universe, a tier 6 being was born, who severely injured Zhu Qi. Thankfully, it was a puppet she had refined, and she escaped barely, bearing precious treasures.
She knew the terror of a tier 6 Emperor because she also possessed tier 6 combat power. However, the first phase of the trial in the Original Planet had accelerated, compelling her to seize enough Grand Yan Immortals before the first phase ended, to initiate the second phase of the trial.
This time, she had plundered nearly ten thousand Grand Yan Immortals from other universes. Among them were over 100 who had half-step Emperors by mastering the Ultimate Dao. Others were either top-tier origin sources or the elites of their universes, each one a prodigy.
If those universes didn’t have tier 6 beings, it would have been manageable. But now, encountering one meant they were out of luck. If she wasn’t bound to guard the Original Planet, she would have sought revenge on that tier 6 Emperor long ago.
A local tier 6 Emperor, one who hadn’t even comprehended the universe’s secret techniques, didn’t concern her much. It was just that she didn’t have time to seek vengeance right now.
“Zhu Qi!s injuries have been healed. I thank you on her behalf. You can leave now!” Zhu Yi said impatiently.
Long Yi sneered and spoke again, “l came this time to discuss something with you. The situation in the Bloodthirsty Continent has changed. Not every one of these Emperors is straightforward. My Bloodthirsty Continent isn’t the Original Planet. There are billions of ethnic groups living there, all nurtured by me personally. Now, they are being raided recklessly by these Emperors. I can’t allow them to stay on the Bloodthirsty Continent any longer. If they continue, the continent will collapse inevitably.”
The Bloodthirst Continent was the main stronghold of the Azure Dragon Temple, covering a tenth of the universe’s expanse. Millions of diverse races inhabited the continent, giving rise to numerous powerful individuals. These individuals became part of the Azure Dragon Temple, considered direct disciples of Long Yi.
However, chaos ensued in the Bloodthirst Continent after the Emperors from the Original Universe entered. Instead of seeking inheritance, these Emperors engaged in fierce power struggles, causing the entire continent to teeter on the edge of collapse. Only the personal intervention of Long Yi managed to quell the chaos.
The trials for Emperors were exceptionally rigorous. The Qishen Temple intended to recruit every tier 3 Emperor, but the Original Universe Emperors were not yet fully assembled, and Emperors from other universes were rushing to this side.
According to the rules set by the Qishen, recruiting 10,000 people was the limit for tier 3 Emperors. Emperors below tier 3 were recruited as many as needed; a little profit was enough to make tier 1 and 2 Emperors willingly serve.
However, tier 3 Emperors were different. Their Daos were not fully realized, and they aimed for positions held by tier 4, 5 or 6 Emperors. Some exceptional individuals like Zhen Wuyang and Tongtian Buddha didn’t just target tier 6 Emperors; their ambitions extended far beyond. Even without the Qishen Temple, they had hopes of reaching the tier 5 Emperor status.
Their goal was the pinnacle of the universe. For Emperors like them, mere treasures or slight increases in power didn’t satisfy their appetites. Only core inheritances could satiate these formidable Emperors.
The Qishen Temple possessed numerous inheritances within its origin source sea, specifically designed to nurture the Yan Immortals and Grand Yan Immortals. The Universe’s secret techniques that made Emperors covetous were not casually offered. These Emperors were cherished children of the heavens and the earth, each a protagonist in their own right. They stood on a level far beyond the reach of Yan Immortals and Grand Yan Immortals.
Even the Qishen Temple couldn’t easily control them. Both sides had to exchange their respective needs.
Now, Long Yi e s arrival for help indicated that he couldn’t suppress those Emperors anymore.
“l heard there’s an Ultimate Emperor!” Zhu Yi asked curiously. Ultimate Emperors were incredibly rare in ancient times. An Ultimate Emperor appearing in the Original Universe was much more precious than tier 6 Emperors.
“There is indeed an Ultimate Emperor. However, the true spirit has agreed to negotiate with them separately,” Long Yi said with a faint smile. Although the other party was only a tier 5 Emperor, as an Ultimate Dao practitioner, there were very few throughout the long River of Time. Such Emperors were invaluable to the Qishen Temple.
It was a pity that this Ultimate Emperor wasn’t cultivated by the Qishen Temple. They wouldn’t pledge allegiance to the Qishen Temple in the future either. Such beings could only be befriended. While they were still growing, offering them some benefits could forge a connection. If they achieved great success in the future, they might be able to assist the Qishen Temple..
