At first, Baili Zhenyan only sensed the presence of an unfamiliar King of the Century in Lijiang City.
[For a true king to enter the Nine Domains, especially the "Primordial Domain" where his dynasty's core is located, to dare to act without paying homage to him, the emperor, is itself a great disrespect to the existence of the imperial realm!]
These nine realms have rules!
Of course, Baili Zhenyan isn't a tyrant. It's possible that this fifth-realm cultivator is new here and knows nothing; or perhaps he just happened to come across this pilgrimage and wants to use it as a medium to pay his respects. All of those are possible.
Therefore, he merely exerted his imperial power remotely, demanding that the foreign kings below kneel before him to fulfill their proper etiquette before considering anything else.
[Bai Li Zhenyan's sacred body is the "Peerless True Emperor Body," which provides a 21-fold increase in combat power, and also has an extremely cool special function suitable for showing off.]
He called it "Imperial Majesty," the effect of which was to make those who felt the imperial majesty submit to him, kneeling, prostrating, bowing their heads, and performing the earth-stomping ceremony.
[However, this pose needs to be practiced by Baili Zhenyan himself first, for motion capture and recording, before it can be used on others.]
"So, if he wants others to kneel, he has to find a corner where no one can see him and kneel down first, then record that posture into the Holy Body?"
Yun Shou pinched his chin: "I feel like my prestige has suddenly dropped. You're saying you have to kneel to yourself before you kneel to others, right?"
"I find it funny to think that Baili Zhenyan, who has been a powerful figure in the Nine Realms for 80,000 years, secretly knelt down in order to make everyone kneel down to him."
"Could it be interpreted as him kneeling only because others kneel before him, as an attitude he adopts before asking for favors?"
"And those who are influenced by the emperor's power kneel back, which can also be regarded as a return gift."
Yun Shou came up with some interesting ways to play.
"...Speaking of which..."
"Could such imperial power make the target adopt that pose on the spot?"
"For example, ** and **."
"Although it's embarrassing to have to record the pose beforehand, it would be amazing if the other person could suddenly do that!"
"The perfect way to prank someone!"
[In addition, there is a judgment condition and a quantity limit when Imperial Might is applied to a target.]
The condition for invalidation is that the opponent's "spirit, energy, and vitality" attributes must all be less than one-tenth of yours! Otherwise, the effect will not work.
[The quantity limit is: it has no effect on targets of the same cultivation level; for targets one cultivation level lower than oneself, Baili Zhenyan can make a maximum of ten kneel at once; two cultivation levels lower, one thousand, and so on, with each subsequent cultivation level lower increasing by a hundredfold.]
In short, when Baili Zhenyan discovered that Xu Ling'er possessed one of his attributes, which was more than one-tenth higher than his own, he was almost certain that she was a cultivator who had rebuilt herself from the sixth realm.
[Because Baili Zhenyan possesses the "Zunyuan Dao Seal," he can sense that Xu Ling'er's current system is of the same origin as his!]
"..."
"So you don't even have 1.1 million Thorns after all that? You really are a noob from the first level."
"In addition, this Yuan system is quite common."
Since they are from the same system, it means that if Xu Ling'er wants to surpass him by even one-tenth in any statistic, she not only needs to reach the fifth realm of perfection, but her Sacred Body's power level also needs to be five times higher than his!
But how could that be!? His "Peerless True Emperor Body" is enhanced in every aspect, including essence, energy, and spirit!
[Also, Baili Zhenyan didn't notice at first, but Xu Ling'er's position seemed to be below yours, while your aura could only be described as fourth-realm!]
This means you've also rebuilt your cultivation to the sixth realm, and even more times!
Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Baili Zhenyan's tone was somewhat urgent: "If that's the case, then the two of you must be going to cultivate the reincarnation method again?"
You said calmly, "Is His Majesty Baili telling us some kind of joke?"
"If we didn't understand the method of rebuilding, what stands before you wouldn't just be a fourth or fifth realm cultivator."
"Hahaha!" Baili Zhenyan laughed heartily, "It was I who was confused."
He then made a promise: "One of you cultivates the Venerable Yuan Method, and since the other cultivates in my Yuan Domain, I imagine you also have some cultivation resources produced here."
[In Baili Zhenyan's understanding, the "Zunyuan" system has another name. Although the pronunciation and characters are different after the languages of Yuanyu and Qingyu are translated, they still refer to the same thing, so it is also called "Zunyuan".]
"Guests from afar are naturally welcome to me. Even if you two were incredibly weak when you were rebuilding your cultivation, you are both at the same realm. In these Nine Domains, you should share my imperial might!"
"However—" A certain glint flashed in Baili Zhenyan's eyes: "Although I have been an emperor for eighty thousand years and have a long history, I have not yet taken the second step in the cultivation of the emperor realm. There are some things I would like to ask you two."
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions within him, and was about to speak.
But you waved your hand, abruptly interrupting him just as he was about to speak: "Don't rush—"
[Amidst Baili Zhenyan's stunned expression, you calmly raised your jade cup: "Let me have some tea first."]
After finishing their tea, the atmosphere became more relaxed. Baili Zhenyan paused for a moment, then opened his mouth again.
"Wow!" You stare at the young girls dancing on the stage in front of the seating area: "Shirako has such great legs!"
[Amidst your clicking "tsk tsk," the girls (not the same batch as the previous 9999 celestial maidens) finished their dance and left, and only then did you reluctantly withdraw your gaze.]
Seeing that his opportunity had arrived again, Baili Zhenyan coughed lightly.
"My dear disciple, look at that!" You pointed with astonishment at the performer on the side. "No wonder it's their livelihood; look at how well they've practiced it, it's truly masterful."
Veins bulged on Baili Zhenyan's forehead. For over eighty thousand years, he had been the supreme ruler of the Nine Domains, the undisputed sovereign for over eighty thousand years. Aside from those few instances, he had never been so disrespected…
However, this can be tolerated.
He no longer bothered with formalities or pretense, speaking directly: "Fellow Daoists, I have no other requests than to witness the method of rebuilding a Sixth-Realm Emperor."
His tone carried a strange undertone: "I've heard that if a rebuilt body dies, while the person won't perish along with it, it will suffer significant losses in various hidden ways, stagnating for thousands of years."
He stared at the two of you, master and disciple: "Not only am I willing to provide you with protection, but I can also supply you with all the resources you need!"
[His two superior conditions are useless nonsense. Which cultivator at the sixth realm wouldn't have prepared sufficient resources before rebuilding? As for protection, in these nine domains, if Baili Zhenyan doesn't take action, who can rival Xu Ling'er?]
So this is a threat before things have really come to a head.
