Emperor’s Domination

One day, Bao Pu suddenly disappeared and people gradually forgot him. Once he appeared again, he was an immortal.

No secrets could be kept forever, hence the whispers and rumors. A few things were not entirely true, but not far from it.

Unsavory rumors couldn’t be avoided, especially when this immortal didn’t shine as brightly as Desolate Ancestor and Zhan Sansheng.

Today, Bao Pu and Primal Yin Immortal Ghost arrived together, clearly siding with Zhan Sansheng.

“Since my youth, my elders told me stories about you, Senior, your legends and contributions to our kind.” The lord spoke as if this were a friendly meeting, not a battle.

“Time changes all.” An old ancestor murmured while listening.

Desolate Ancestor’s current prestige belonged to Bao Pu once. Older cultivators also knew of the relationship between Bao Pu and the Lord of Life and Death.

In a sense, her branch was a continuation of Bao Pu’s branch. Thus, it wasn’t surprising for her seniors to tell her stories.

Now, she knew her once-revered ancestor visited her with malice.

“No need to dwell on the forgotten past or the yet-to-come future.” Bao Pu sighed.

No one could predict Bao Pu’s current emotions. Or, perhaps an immortal didn’t feel much at all.

“Your deeds are not forgotten, Senior. You once lit the path for Three Immortals and guided us all.” She said.

His past self was a savior, diligently searching for the right path to help everyone else. Now, he hid in the shadows and changed into something monstrous.

His past self couldn’t have predicted this future path. He became the very thing he hated the most.

“It’s all in the past, it’s all in the past.” He froze momentarily before answering. These few words contained countless tales and suffering throughout his life.

“Unfortunately, I cannot personally greet you and Luminous Master due to my tribulation. I apologize.” She said.

She showed no sign of anger at the hostile visitors and remained humble, winning the love of the crowd. Bao Pu and Luminous Master felt they were inferior to this rising junior. No wonder she had so many powerful cultivators willing to work for her.

“Your Majesty, we will have to offend you today.” Luminous Master said.

“You and Senior Bao Pu shouldn’t have come today, it is not fortuitous for either of you.” She said.

“Then Your Majesty, you are confident in surpassing this tribulation?” Bao Pu showed respect with his address.

“I am unsure of that. What I am sure of is that you two should listen to me and leave.” She said.

This sounded like sincere advice. However, the sincerity froze the two opponents.

Bao Pu wanted to stay hidden and deliver the final blow at the right moment. Alas, she spotted him and his remaining pride forced him to come out in the open.

“Circumstances force my hands, I apologize, Your Majesty.” Primal Yin Immortal Ghost took a deep breath.

“I don’t believe you two will leave unscathed. Reaching your level was not easy, so please reconsider.” She said.

Listeners became surprised due to her confidence.
