Chapter 620

Little Shuan… still that familiar tone; this nickname—aside from Old Ancestor Qianzhong, no one would call me that, not even the Qianlou clan chief.

Hearing this, the Grand Elder's heart was moved; instantly tears streamed down his face, and he hurried forward to kneel on the ground.

Old Ancestor Qianzhong! It really is you! Unworthy descendant Yun Feiying pays respects to the Old Ancestor!

Seeing the Grand Elder kneel, the remaining Yun family elders and powerhouses present did not dare hesitate; they all rushed forward and knelt on the ground, in unison cupping their fists and saying, "We pay respects to Old Ancestor Qianzhong!"

All right, everyone rise; in the Emperor's presence there are not so many rules.

The Nirvana Immortal Emperor waved his hand indifferently.

Hearing this, the Light God Monarch behind him silently sneered, "No so many rules? Just take that talk with a grain of salt; only an idiot would believe it."

Back then, in his own Light Immortal Palace, an unlucky earth-rank Light Envoy was given a proper lesson in etiquette for ignoring him once and not greeting him; now the unlucky fellow's grave is overgrown with immortal grass thirty zhang high.

Old Ancestor, congratulations on your successful Nirvana rebirth," the Grand Elder said, rising excitedly and cupping his fists, "With you here, let's see if those restless major powers still dare to act.

Rebirth? When did the Emperor say I had returned via rebirth?

The Nirvana Immortal Emperor spoke while stepping forward, arriving before the couch, halting his steps, his gaze steady as he stared at the corpse of Clan Chief Yun Qianlou, old and worn, already cold for a while.

Truly incompetent; since childhood your parents held high hopes for you, and the clan elders even groomed you as the next clan chief, yet you could not best the Emperor in anything; the Emperor has not left the Yun clan chief position for many years, so you will never hold it in this lifetime.

Clan Chief Qianlou? Being trapped to death by a mere Ninth‑Layer Divine Monarch peak is a joke.

Nevertheless, no matter what, you are still the Emperor's brother; to spread word that the Emperor's brother died from exhausted lifespan would be a loss of face the Emperor cannot afford.

At that moment, the Grand Elder and the others behind finally reacted—Old Ancestor Qianzhong said he wasn't reborn? Then there is only one possibility! Hiss! Could it be…!

Boom!

Just as that thought arose in them, an overwhelming Immortal Emperor aura erupted instantly! It directly destroyed the entire magnificent pavilion.

My dear brother, in this world, the Emperor decides whether you live or die.

The Nirvana Immortal Emperor spoke lightly, then his heart stirred again; in the next instant, a flower that dimmed heaven and earth, brilliantly radiant, emanating endless Dao power—the Emperor Immortal Flower—manifested above his head.

Nirvana Dao, Yin-Yang reversal.

The overwhelming Nirvana Dao completely enveloped the divine form of Clan Chief Yun Qianlou on the couch, continuously channeling into his body.

Within the small world where the Yun Immortal Clan resides, winds and clouds suddenly shifted; endless immortal spiritual energy gathered and ceaselessly surged toward the couch below.

The commotion here was no small matter; all members of the Yun Immortal Clan were startled! The remaining elders and high‑realm clansmen rushed over at once, and even the junior prodigies in seclusion could not restrain their curiosity, stepping out of their doors.

What's happening? Such a terrifying aura! Could it be that the major powers have come to attack?

No… impossible! The clan chief may have just passed not long ago; they couldn't have found out this quickly!

Another possibility is that there is a traitor in the clan! The traitor leaked the news, and the major powers, unable to hold back, struck early! Damn it!

Stop guessing wildly; no one has attacked. Look over there—the Grand Elder and the others are present. Huh? Is that the clan chief? The clan chief hasn't fallen! Great!

No, that's not right—that's the clan chief's voice, but who is that corpse on the couch? And if the clan chief hasn't broken through, how did he suddenly become young?

That's not the clan chief! This bearing, this demeanor—this is Old Ancestor Qianzhong!

On this side, the Grand Elder and the others were already stunned, mouths agape!

Immortal Emperor aura! The Immortal Emperor‑exclusive Emperor Immortal Flower! The Immortal Emperor‑exclusive Dao! Old Ancestor Qianzhong is not reborn; he has broken through successfully!

The Nirvana Divine Monarch who once declared, 'Heaven does not tolerate me, I will not tolerate heaven; if heaven blocks me, I shall transmute myself into an immortal through Nirvana, for myriad myriad years, I shall become the sovereign among immortals,' has broken through to Immortal Emperor and returned!

After the Nirvana Dao completed a full circuit around the corpse of Clan Chief Yun Qianlou, a miraculous scene unfolded: a surge of vibrant life force erupted from his originally cold‑dead body, and in the next instant he slowly opened his cloudy eyes.

Where am I? Is this the world after my demise? Huh, Brother! Why are you here too? Have you come to fetch me?

Shut up; even if you lived, this body of yours would be of no use to the Emperor. Quickly cultivate your technique; the Emperor will lend you a hand.

Still dazed, Yun Qianlou heard those familiar words and immediately obeyed, circulating his technique; when his cultivation reached its peak, streams of chaotic divine power brimming with vitality flowed from his dantian to his limbs.

What difficulty is there in breaking a mere quasi‑Immortal Emperor seal? Break it for the Emperor!" Seeing this, the Nirvana Immortal Emperor again forcefully poured endless Dao power into Yun Qianlou's dantian.

Only three breaths later.

Boom!

A tremendously powerful quasi‑Immortal Emperor aura burst forth from him!

His aged, unsightly body instantly grew much younger: his gray‑white hair turned into a cascade of black locks, his cloudy eyes cleared, the wrinkles on his skin vanished completely, his stooped spine straightened, his frame no longer frail but became full of flesh and blood, strong and powerful.

No joke—if you gave him an immortal ox, he could plow the entire Mo‑Ying Immortal Continent with sheer bodily strength in one go, without even panting.

After the breakthrough, merely two and a half breaths later, Clan Chief Yun Qianlou had returned to a middle‑aged appearance, now looking very much like the Nirvana Immortal Emperor outwardly.

Rumble—!

Above the void of the small world, the heavenly tribulation for a Divine Monarch at the Ninth Layer peak breaking through to the Ninth Layer Great Perfection quasi‑Immortal Emperor realm duly coalesced.

Thank… Brother, I'll go first to undergo the tribulation.

Seeing his brother emanating a Chaotic Immortal Emperor aura, himself resurrected from death, and himself having broken through to the quasi‑Immortal Emperor realm, Clan Chief Yun Qianlou now understood everything.

He had much he wanted to say, but the pressing matter now was to finish the tribulation; only by surviving it could the breakthrough be deemed successful.

It turns out Brother didn't die in the tribulation; moreover, he has broken through to Immortal Emperor and returned in triumph, having painstakingly reversed yin and yang to revive me—I cannot let him down!

Screw that damn heart‑devil, the Emperor won't put up with it!
