Chapter 17: The Rogue Heavenly Emperor, the Supreme Pure Daoist Master Transforms into a Master of Q
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. The Emperor's curse shocked the world, and the Ancestral Court was also affected.
The Ao family patriarch dared not delay any longer. After gathering all of Meng Chen's conditions, he and the Mu family patriarch rushed to the ancient star of the primordial wilderness.
The Ancestral Court has gradually lifted the blockade on the prehistoric world in recent days, and Meng Chen has also taken action to pull out many array patterns from the Separate Heaven and Earth Connection. The originally suppressed essence of heaven and earth has also shown signs of recovery.
Many secluded ancient lineages have begun to reappear in the world, but it will take some time for those immortal mountains and blessed lands to re-integrate with the ancient world.
In less than a century, the ancient star will recover to at least 50% of its former glory, if not its peak state.
In the Eastern Wilderness, the Sun God Tree stands tall between heaven and earth, its life essence vast and boundless, transforming into a crimson-gold ocean that nourishes the primordial world.
Above the crown of the divine tree stands a chaotic palace, surrounded by imperial might and encircled by ten suns, sacred and magnificent.
The maids of the Luoshen Clan walked through the palace; they were all peerless beauties, with skin as white as ice and bones as white as jade, and looks as beautiful as celestial beings.
The sons of the Lei Ze clan, clad in armor and wielding divine halberds, stood imposingly at the palace gate, their imposing presence intimidating even the most wicked.
"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor." ×2
In the Taihao Hall, the Ao family patriarch and the Mu family patriarch bowed to the majestic figure on the imperial throne, their arrogance gone, replaced by humility and respect.
The terrifying nature of the Emperor's curse made them truly realize the horror of the current Emperor, and they dared not show the slightest disrespect.
Seated casually on the imperial throne, Meng Chen enjoyed the breeze from the fanning of the Wa Clan maid beside him, showing no regard for the two patriarchs of the Ao and Mu families, and said in a calm voice:
"Where is what I wanted?"
Although the Ao family patriarch was dissatisfied with Emperor Chentian's attitude, he was powerless against the circumstances and the emperor's cultivation was far more terrifying than his own, so he reluctantly took out the items.
Twelve supreme dragon veins, three Nine-Turn Golden Pills, a bottle of Nine-Turn Immortal Elixir, a seed of an Immortal Medicine, two Primordial Life Stones, two Immortal Medicine Fruits, 500,000 catties of divine source, and nine golden dragons.
The Mu family patriarch was puzzled to see that there were some extra items, but he did not ask any further questions.
Meng Chen glanced at them, then raised his hand to take everything, and waved his hand as if shooing away mice.
"Alright, you can get out of here now."
The two old men were dumbfounded. "Wait, you've already taken all our things, shouldn't you be coming with us to guard the Imperial Pass? Why are you telling us to get lost!"
"Emperor Chentian, we have fulfilled all your conditions. Shouldn't you come with us to the Imperial Pass?"
The Ao family patriarch asked Meng Chen curtly.
Meng Chen ate the grapes fed to him by the maid of the Nuwa Clan, and after a long silence, he suddenly realized what was going on.
"It seems that's true, but my primordial world is in dire need of rebuilding, and I can't leave for the time being. How about this, I'll wait another two or three hundred years before I go to guard the Imperial Pass."
Upon hearing this, the Ao family patriarch's expression changed instantly, but before he could speak, the Mu family patriarch preemptively shouted angrily:
"Emperor Chentian, you have broken your promise!"
boom!!
A terrifying imperial aura suddenly appeared, enveloping the two old men.
Even though their cultivation had reached the Quasi-Emperor level, they were still nothing but ants in front of the Great Emperor. Their bodies shattered on the spot, and their souls were also severely damaged, leaving them on the verge of death.
Meng Chen abandoned his usual laziness, his imperial gaze turning cold as he stared at the two patriarchs, whose souls were now only fragmented, and spoke indifferently.
"I am satisfied that you have fulfilled my conditions, but I only agreed to let you guard the Imperial Pass, I didn't say when you would go. What, do you want to order me to go right now?"
"No, no! Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, please calm your anger!"
The Ao family patriarch begged for mercy repeatedly, but didn't forget to glare at the Mu family patriarch.
This teammate-sabotaging guy only asked you to witness it, not to nitpick!
Now look what's happened! We've angered this bandit emperor again. If we don't bleed a lot today, this won't end well!
The Ao family patriarch had personally experienced Meng Chen's ruthless and opportunistic behavior.
If the Mu family patriarch didn't make them compensate him for such an offense, the Ao family patriarch would even doubt whether the person sitting on the throne was still that bandit.
The Mu family patriarch was also trembling with fear. This Emperor Chentian was too unreasonable. He accepted the gifts but did nothing. Wasn't he just a scoundrel?
Throughout history, which emperor was as shameless as him?
"Hmph! The Emperor is supreme, revered by all. How dare you offend His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, and even want him to guard the Imperial Pass? What do you think Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is! I think you two old fools should go and guard the Imperial Pass yourselves!"
Although the King of Lei Ze arrived late, he immediately berated the two old men upon entering the hall.
When the Ao family patriarch saw the arrival of the Lord of Lei Ze, a man with an appetite even greater than that of a glutton, he trembled and tried his best to hide himself, letting the Mu family patriarch take the lead.
When the Mu family patriarch saw that the visitor was a lowly primordial being, he was furious. "Do you think you are an emperor? How dare you speak to me like that? Don't you know that I come from the ancestral court?"
"How dare you!"
"I think you're the one who's being audacious!"
Where there is a Thunder God, there must be a God of Fuxi. The God of Fuxi roared, and the powerful pressure of the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor emanated from his body, instantly overturning the Mu Cult Ancestor.
Does a mere Quasi-Emperor at the Second Level really think he's invincible just because he's from the Ancestral Court?
Immediately afterwards, the leaders of all the major Daoist sects of the prehistoric world arrived, and they all bowed to the Heavenly Emperor on the throne.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!" ×2
"No need for formalities." Meng Chen raised his hand slightly, and the group of leaders also straightened up. Their gazes swept over the two patriarchs, who were now only souls, with disdain, ridicule, and contempt...
The two patriarchs of the Ao and Mu families were furious. They were the ones who used to look at others with such eyes. When had anyone ever dared to look at them with such eyes?
Meng Chen looked at the two old men and said in a low voice, "Your attitude displeases me greatly. Originally, I planned to guard the Imperial Pass after dealing with the matters of the Primordial World, but now it seems that I will not guard the Imperial Pass after all."
"What! Emperor Chentian, you can't break your promise! We've already given you everything you wanted, how can you go back on your word!"
The Mu family patriarch was shocked and angrily rebuked Meng Chen, which provoked the powerful figures of the prehistoric world to speak up on the spot.
"How dare you! How dare you question His Majesty! With your attitude, you expect him to guard the Imperial Pass? You're asking for trouble!"
"Hmph! You've offended His Majesty, and you offer no compensation whatsoever, yet you expect His Majesty to guard the pass? You're dreaming! Without millions of catties of immortal gold and divine materials, even if your ancestral court's imperial ancestor were to be reborn, don't even think about getting His Majesty to guard the Imperial Pass!"
"That's right, apologize, or you won't be leaving this hall today!"
"Why waste words with him? Let's get him!"
Before the words were even finished, the Lord of Taiqing Dao took the lead. Everyone wanted to encounter an old Daoist who was usually unassuming and approachable, but who was even more impatient than the Lord of Leize Kingdom.
The old Taoist priest threw aside his ever-present whisk, strode forward, and kicked the Mu family patriarch to the ground.
"You lowly, despicable creature, how dare you..."
"Heavenly Venerable One, Holy shit!"
The old Taoist priest transformed into a master of manners, grabbing the Mu family patriarch by the collar and rubbing him against the ground, leaving everyone in the prehistoric world utterly astonished.
This was the first time they had ever seen the Taiqing Dao Master so fierce and refined. What deep-seated hatred could have caused him to abandon his usual dignified and otherworldly demeanor?
Meng Chen was also dumbfounded. This Daoist Master Taiqing was a versatile old baby!
