Chapter 206 There Shouldn't Be Such an Emperor in the World
Under the desolate hill, on the stone path weathered by time, the starlight illuminated the stone path, and the firelight above the desolate hill illuminated the unknown young man.
Zhu Qiji looked at the young man in front of him and subconsciously took a step back, but had no intention of coming out.
Don’t trust people easily!
What's more, he is carrying a valuable treasure.
"It seems you don't believe me."
Luo Jiuyou saw through Zhu Qiji's concerns at a glance.
"It's not that I don't believe it, but I dare not believe it. If this friend has no ill intentions, you might as well wait a while. With such a big commotion, I'm sure that the Ming Dynasty's Nirvana master will arrive soon." Zhu Qiji said while standing in the corridor under the stone gate.
"To be honest, I am not interested in what you have in your hand. I am more interested in who it belongs to and whether he has truly reached the level of a human emperor."
Luo Jiuyou fixed his gaze on the jade box and said.
"But I don't have the patience to wait any longer."
Zhu Qiji looked at the young man in front of him and took a few steps back. He didn't dare to go out and gamble, so he could only bet that this seal could keep the people outside out.
"If this friend is truly upright, why wouldn't he be willing to wait a little longer?"
"You don't understand."
Luo Jiuyou shook his head and stretched out his hand.
"You don't understand what the Human Emperor represents, and what it means to become the Human Emperor in this world."
As Luo Jiuyou stretched out his hand, azure blue light emerged from the stone path, like lines, like a huge net, blocking the entire corridor.
Endless Taoist patterns appear and disappear in the void.
The entire corridor seemed to turn into a blue ocean in an instant.
And it was this azure blue Taoist magic that blocked the sword of Lord Huode just now without weakening it in the slightest.
At this moment, Zhu Qiji only hoped that the azure light could block the young man.
“Although this method is very exquisite and can stop the imposter who lost the Dao-breaking Arrow, it can’t stop me.”
Above the stone gate, Luo Jiuyou's palm gradually turned dark, like an extremely dark abyss.
This was his original method of cultivation, the "Nine Nether Secret Records" passed down from ancient times on the path to immortality.
Under Zhu Qiji's gaze, the pitch-black hand directly passed through the azure light and pressed on the jade box in Zhu Qiji's hand.
"Come out!" Luo Jiuyou pulled gently.
Zhu Qiji was pulled out directly and fell on the barren hill.
On the barren hill, there was now nothing but black burnt ashes and turned-up yellow earth under his feet. Zhu Qiji was thrown down in a very miserable state, with his whole body covered with ash and dirt.
Zhu Qiji raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.
He was regretting it now. If he had not opened the jade box, no one would have noticed that he had taken out the edict from the ancient emperor.
Luo Jiuyou didn't even look at him, but just reached out and pushed the jade box open.
A terrifying aura rushed straight into the sky, and the imperial aura spread out in an instant.
In the city of Jinling, the people who had just breathed a sigh of relief felt that horrifying aura again.
Life and death are decided in a single thought.
"No way, how could that be?"
Holding the jade box and looking at the black edict inside the jade box, Luo Jiuyou's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Impossible, there shouldn't be such an emperor in the world."
"The road to becoming an immortal has not yet been opened, and this world cannot support a human emperor."
However, the black imperial edict in the jade box seemed to explain everything; such an emperor really did appear in this world.
The patterns of real dragons and black birds decorated the imperial edict, and Luo Jiuyou would definitely not mistake that aura.
This... is truly the aura of the Human Emperor.
His power is as deep as the ocean, dark and unfathomable.
Luo Jiuyou was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He turned to look at Zhu Qiji and said:
"You are the one who took it out. You should know which emperor the decree came from."
"Human Emperor?"
Zhu Qiji felt a little exhausted. He was just an ordinary man. He stood face to face with Zulong's edict twice and was stunned by the terrifying aura.
"This is Zulong's decree."
"Zu Long?"
Luo Jiuyou looked at the imperial edict in his hand with complicated eyes.
"The edict of the First Emperor Ying Zheng? The First Emperor?"
"I never thought that after the ancient times, there would be such an emperor born in the world. In the post-ancient times, he could defy the will of heaven and become the emperor of mankind."
Human Emperor, these two words are as heavy as Mount Tai.
They are the backbone that enables the human race to stand proudly at the top of all races, and they also support the prosperity of the human race.
It can be said that they are the pillars of the human race, supporting the prosperity of the human race.
The birth of every Human Emperor is extremely difficult.
Go against the will of heaven and achieve self-realization.
It's just eight words to say, but when it comes to doing it, how many people can even reach the threshold?
"The Emperor of Man has come to the world, but is trapped under this starry sky?"
Luo Jiuyou looked at the imperial edict in the jade box, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhu Qiji came to his senses only at this moment.
He frowned as he listened to Luo Jiuyou's words.
Why does it feel like the person in front of me is saying that Zulong is not only a great emperor of ancient times, but also seems to have reached the level of the Human Emperor?
How does he judge the realm of the Human Emperor?
Whether it is the ancient emperor or the ancient human emperor, they are all high above the current cultivators, like the sun and the moon hanging in the sky, an insurmountable gap.
These monks cannot judge its superiority or inferiority in any way.
Could this be an avid follower of the First Emperor?
In the memory that Emperor Jianwen, the great uncle of Emperor Taizu, gave to Zhu Qiji, the First Emperor did have fanatical followers. They believed that Zulong had achieved the status of the Emperor of Man and therefore was worthy of the title of both Emperor and Emperor, namely the First Emperor.
But... when he came here, he clearly didn't know that this decree was from Zulong.
Could it be that... Zulong is really the Human Emperor?
A horrible guess appeared in Zhu Qiji's mind.
At this time, Luo Jiuyou slowly closed the jade box in his hand, and the imperial aura that permeated the area within a radius of dozens of miles slowly receded.
In Jinling City, ordinary people seemed to be wilted.
And just as Luo Jiuyou closed the jade box in his hand, a group of people wearing white masks arrived outside Jinling City in the distance.
On the barren hill, Luo Jiuyou glanced into the distance and seemed to have noticed someone coming.
"Your reinforcements are here."
After giving the jade box in his hand to Zhu Qiji, Luo Jiuyou looked up in another direction.
It seems that there are more than one party coming. After all, how could the things of the Human Emperor be placed in the hands of a mortal, even the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
"However, the man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure!"
Luo Jiuyou looked at Zhu Qiji, who looked incredulous and seemed not to believe that he would return the imperial edict to him, and said, "You'd better stay alive first!"
In ancient times, even if the emperors did not practice the imperial destiny well, they were protected by the destiny of the country, and cultivators were not allowed to approach them. But now, the destiny of the country is concentrated on the Prime Minister Zhang Dongsheng.
The title of Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is somewhat unworthy of his status.
