Chapter 537

Black Emperor's face was full of respect, only the icy coldness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Feng Qingyang seemed to have sensed something, and he just stared straight at Black Emperor, dark red arcs flickering in his pupils.

So it's Black Emperor; I thought some great menace from the heavens had arrived.

Not only has your cultivation undergone an earth-shaking change, but your demeanor also seems to have turned into that of a beast.

Upon hearing that, Black Emperor panicked at once, couldn't keep up the act, and immediately flopped to the ground with a thud, his expression returning to its former state.

Sect Master! I was wrong, I shouldn't have put on an act in front of you!

Oh? Then tell me why you did that.

Sect Master, I was also afraid you'd punish me; after just taking the pill, I couldn't control my body, so attacking you wasn't my intention.

Black Emperor panicked beyond control; upon just waking on the Spacetime Dao Platform, he recalled this memory from before his slumber—he actually wanted to swallow the Sect Master in one gulp!

The heavens have collapsed! Isn't this useless?

Not to mention borrowing a few dog's courage, even if lent a few Immortal Emperor's guts, I still wouldn't dare do that!

For the time being, with no better plan, I could only resort to this—pretending to be foolish, or putting it nicely, acting as if my nature had drastically changed.

Haha, interesting, get up.

No matter what, you came here to sacrifice yourself and test the medicine for our sect.

Feng Qingyang laughed, saying he simply liked Black Emperor's interesting personality.

It brought much fun to his otherwise dull and boring life as Sect Master.

One thing is certain now: as long as one survives the Heavenly Blood Pill's aftermath, there are no further side effects—it can be called perfect.

Merely that Black Emperor, at the peak of Immortal Venerable cultivation, could directly ascend to God Master Eightfold Realm is somewhat terrifying!

Who knows how many times those people have refined such heaven-defying pills throughout history; just thinking about their foundation is frightening.

However, compared to me, they'd still lag behind; once the main quest is done, my Azure Cloud Immortal Emperor cultivation will be who-knows-what, and then I'll aggressively storm Heaven Outside Heaven!

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Black Emperor overjoyed, seeing that the Sect Master didn't pursue the matter shows his broad-mindedness.

No wonder the Sect Master can lead a sect; I'm just a... guardian divine beast of the sect.

Hey hey hey!

Black Emperor had just finished thanking when he let out a pained cry; Xiao Bai lunged from behind and grabbed its ear, saying, "Nice, second brother—not only are you acting as the Sovereign, you're even acting as the elder brother!"

Wrong, wrong, big brother, let go quickly!

Black Emperor hurriedly begged for mercy; Xiao Bai, the elder brother, knows exactly how he treats me.

Although my cultivation now overwhelms it, I still can't turn against and deny an acquaintance—does that still make me human?

No, this Emperor was never human to begin with!

After realizing this, Black Emperor's tiger body shuddered, and Xiao Bai was immediately jolted, almost losing his balance.

Second brother, I fuck—

Feng Qingyang stood to the side, watching their bickering with interest.

What fun is there in constant fighting and killing? That's what life is.

Moving forward is forced by the world, but joy cannot be lacking; otherwise, even immortality would be in vain.

No one helps me with my Azure Cloud ambition; I myself will climb the mountain and establish an imperial sect.

On the path to longevity, may we accompany each other; walking hand in hand to tread the heavens, we shall all rejoice.

【Sovereign: Feng Qingyang, Realm: God Master Eightfold Realm (half-step Immortal Emperor)】

【Divine Ability: Heaven-Annihilating Divine Eye, Words Become Law, Invincible Golden Body】

【Current Main Quest: Sweep the Upper Three Dao Realms, proclaim oneself sovereign of the Heaven Realm Great World】

【Current Side Quest: Sect Grand Dungeon Mission, note: rewards can be claimed】

【Cultivation Method: old routine, omitted; Martial Arts: omitted; Immortal Treasure: omitted】

【Sect: Azure Cloud Sect (Tier 4) Sect Value: 9,200,000/10,000,000 Prestige Points: 2,500,000,000 Merit Points: 25,000,000】

The Sect Value is rising too slowly, but as long as it's gradually increasing, that's fine.

Prestige Points increased by 500 million, likely due to this pill-refining conference; how did Merit Points increase so much? Did they jump by 20 million all at once?

Feng Qingyang was slightly surprised; before, the merit value increased as slowly as an old snail crawling, but I never expected it to increase so much this time.

I guess it's still related to the Pill Refining Conference; Elder Liu and Elder Long saved many pill refiners that day, and among them there should also be the reason for guarding that Celestial Blood Pill.

It's not that I'm easily startled; everyone knows merit value is the most valuable.

The items in the merit shop are all outrageous; for example, the one that can be exchanged for 100 million merit points: a single strike to kill an Immortal Emperor! Isn't that heaven-defying enough? And this is just the most inconspicuous one...

"Huh? System, why does it show a claimable here for the major dungeon mission?"

Just now I only glanced at it briefly; when I looked at the interface again, Feng Qingyang immediately noticed this line of small text.

What's going on? At this time, most disciples and elders haven't arrived yet, let alone start the competition to get rewards; could the bucket have a bug?

【"Ding, report to the Sovereign, the Yanling Continent where the Shengli Shenchao resides has already been swept and suppressed by the sect, so this dungeon is considered completed from the start."】

"Then why didn't you remind the sect?"

【"Sovereign, you didn't ask either..."】

"……"

"Okay okay okay, the sect is in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you; claim the reward."

【"Ding, congratulations host for completing the Yanling Continent dungeon mission, rewards have been issued."】

【"Congratulations host for obtaining one Immortal Emperor cultivation card."】

(As the name suggests, using it can instantly promote to Immortal Emperor.)

【"Congratulations host for obtaining a full set of Myriad Illusion Fairy Robe."】

(Myriad Illusion Fairy Robe: ever-changing, colorless and formless; wearing it allows one to never fall into reincarnation, shielding from any causality and law of the world; no shackles affect the wearer, no means bear fruit on them.)

(And this outfit also has a small effect: it can freely change appearance and physique, Master, don't use it to do bad things~)

Feng Qingyang: ……

This Myriad Illusion Fairy Robe is quite good, but what's with telling me not to use it to do bad things?

Is our sect really like this? System, get out here so we can have a talk!

After a round of output, Feng Qingyang's state of mind was still unsettled, only because that first reward was even more heaven-defying: Immortal Emperor Cultivation Boost Card!

Hiss! The surprise came too suddenly!

Now, in our Qingyun Sect, aside from the ancestor whose cultivation is unknown while still reincarnating in the Reincarnation Realm, no one has broken through to Immortal Emperor; the highest are just a few Quasi Immortal Emperors.

I will be the first to break through to Immortal Emperor!

Hmm... thinking it over, it actually seems reasonable: a sect leader's cultivation ought to be invincible, ought to crush anyone.

Not drawing a sword but not being without a sword is a principle that applies to you as well.

"Both rewards have materialized; use them all."

【 "Ding, Myriad Illusion Fairy Robe has been automatically equipped." 】

【 "Immortal Emperor Cultivation Boost Card used successfully." 】

ps: Many readers have reported that the protagonist's cultivation is too low; as everyone knows, I am an author who grants every request. The plot has been slightly revised; next is the protagonist and the sect's disciples chapter.
