Chapter 19: Reborn Great Emperor

Heaven Dao Peak, ten li outside, a small riverbank.

Hahaha, after crossing mountains and rivers, enduring countless hardships, I finally made it to the place where the Chaos Heaven Pearl fell.

The betrayal of the past.

The deep grudge of a sea of blood from the past.

Once I obtain the Chaos Heaven Pearl, I will surely make you pay a hundredfold price.

By the riverside, a youth in coarse hemp clothing with a scorched-black face clenched his fists and swore fiercely.

And this scorched-black youth is named Zhou Tianming.

It seemed his oath was choking his throat.

He then lay again by the stream, gulping large mouthfuls of mountain spring water with glug-glug sounds.

Recalling the past three months.

To reach this place, he had chewed tree bark and grass roots all the way, truly enduring countless hardships.

Fortunately.

Heaven does not betray those who strive.

He finally arrived here.

He also sensed the aura of the precious treasure he had lost before.

And as long as he obtains that treasure, he can make a comeback.

Enemies from his previous life.

Enemies in this life.

All must die.

"Especially Great Dao Sect, after my rebirth I gave you my all, yet you tried to exterminate me; when the time comes, you will be the first to die."

Recalling his previous life.

He initially had poor talent, but by chance obtained the Chaos Heaven Pearl, gaining the Chaos Sacred Body, after which he soared to great heights.

Becoming a mighty Great Emperor among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

He could summon wind when he wanted wind, rain when he wanted rain.

Unfortunately, his resolve was weak; he fell for a witch he shouldn't have, and after she called him 'brother' twice, he lost himself.

In the end, he was tricked out of even his underwear.

Of course, things got even worse.

That witch not only toyed with his feelings, she took everything from him, and finally wanted to discard him after using him.

At his engagement banquet, that witch actually allied with several Great Emperors to jointly strangle him.

He died a most wrongful death.

He never even managed to hold her hand until death.

He, who sought invincibility all his life, could never resign himself to this.

Relying on the Chaos Heaven Pearl, a wisp of his soul successfully reincarnated within the Profound Yellow Continent, into a sect called the Great Dao Sect, becoming its Chief Senior Disciple.

However, after his rebirth, his Chaos Heaven Pearl was also lost here.

In this life.

Reborn, he resolved, following the wise notion of not falling into love, to start cultivation anew in the Great Dao Sect and soon find that witch for revenge.

Unfortunately, he used his previous life's Great Emperor memories to help the Great Dao Sect establish a Grand Sect-Protecting Formation, and he also imparted all his techniques.

However, he underestimated human nature.

As the Great Dao Sect developed, they saw he had no more use for them and was a cripple with lost cultivation.

They began to despise him for occupying the Chief Senior Disciple's position without contributing, blocking the Holy Maiden of the Great Dao Sect's path.

Thus they wanted to discard him after using him.

In order to let that Holy Maiden openly take the Chief position.

Zhou Tianming clenched his fists: "You all wait for me."

He rose, glanced at the distant Heaven Dao Peak.

The Chaos Heaven Pearl was there.

Obtaining it, he could make a comeback.

But just as he was about to leave,

he sensed a powerful aura approaching him.

His instincts immediately kicked in.

"Are the people of the Great Dao Sect chasing me here?"

"Or could it be the Azure Cloud Sect, discovering I trespassed?"

But he had no time to consider all that.

No matter who they were, he couldn't let them discover him.

Immediately.

He took out the Teleportation Talisman he had prepared earlier.

With a bang, he vanished.

———————

After Zhou Tianming disappeared, Lin Yang instantly descended here.

He looked around.

He saw no disciple meeting the criteria.

Just about to ask the system what was going on.

【Ding, detected that the qualified disciple used a teleportation talisman and left early.】

Upon hearing that,

Lin Yang froze.

Ran away?

It's not that they have a tacit understanding.

Are they mutually rushing toward each other?

How did they run away?

"System, where did that disciple go?"

【Ding, detected that the qualified disciple was transmitted to the main hall of the Azure Cloud Sect ten kilometers from here.】

After receiving the news again,

Lin Yang then turned into a streak of light and pursued.

He didn't believe that the disciple could still have run away.

——————

After using a teleportation talisman,

Zhou Tianming was extremely weak, pressing against a tree and breathing heavily.

Truly, a tiger fallen to flat ground, bullied by dogs.

Looking back, he was once a vibrant Great Emperor.

Now, however, he has ended up in such a sorry state.

If not for having learned some formation talisman papers in a past life and having someone at the Great Dao Sect craft some teleportation talismans, he would probably have suffered today.

Due to his low cultivation level,

He cannot control the exact teleportation destination.

He also doesn't know where he has just been teleported to.

Immediately.

He raised his head to look.

However, upon seeing that golden signboard again.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Azure Cloud Sect Elder Council Hall?

Isn't this just walking into a trap?

What's worse is,

The aura that had just come toward him is pursuing again.

He made a quick decision.

"Go!"

Immediately, he used another teleportation talisman.

——————

Soon after, Lin Yang descended here again.

"Where is the person?"

【Ding, detected that the qualified disciple used a teleportation talisman and is now transmitted ten kilometers away.】

Lin Yang was speechless.

Ran away again?

He doesn't understand what exactly the disciple is running from.

He was just about to give chase.

【Ding, detected that the qualified disciple used a teleportation talisman again and transmitted another ten kilometers.】

Lin Yang froze.

"Still running?"

After a headache, he didn't hesitate much; having finally gotten news of a second disciple, he naturally couldn't just let that apprentice run away.

He was just about to give chase.

But the next second,

The system's dense alert tones sounded.

【Ding, detected that the qualified disciple used a teleportation talisman once more and transmitted another ten kilometers.】

【Ding, detected that the qualified disciple used a teleportation talisman yet again and transmitted another ten kilometers away.】

【Ding, detected that the qualified disciple used teleportation talismans multiple times and the target has disappeared.】

"The target disappeared?" Lin Yang was completely speechless.

It was hard to come by a disciple who meets the qualification.

Not even a trace of them was seen.

Just like that, they vanished right from under his nose.

Saying it out would be quite embarrassing.

【Host sorry, the system's detection range is limited, and moreover, that disciple runs like a little grandson, able to run a lot; at least they've run three hundred kilometers now.】

Regarding this, Lin Yang is willing but unable.

Although he wants to catch up with that disciple.

But the other party ultimately intended to avoid him.

Everything depends on fate, after all.

What is yours cannot be escaped.

What is not yours cannot be held.

"Forget it!"

Lin Yang let out a long sigh.

He had just prepared to return home.

But he encountered a group of disciples hurriedly carrying some treasures toward the Elders' Hall.

The leading disciple, who was leading the team, shouted while cursing.

"Be careful, don't bump into anything; these items are all rewards for Sword Peak. If they get damaged, none of us can afford to bear the responsibility."

Upon hearing that!

Lin Yang, who had been pricking up his ears nearby, then let his ears droop.

"Rewards for Sword Peak?"

"What merits does Sword Peak have to receive so much?"

After much deliberation, since he had promised his wife to safeguard the Azure Cloud Sect, he decided to handle it himself.

Immediately, he walked with his hands behind his back.

He entered the Elders' Hall.
