Chapter 1165 - Emperor of Longevity
Chapter 1165: Emperor of Longevity
In front of an Immortal Emperor, people of the Emperor clan could do nothing. The methods of the Emperor clan that could threaten Immortal Kings was useless to an Immortal Emperor.
The Emperor clan could preserve an attack from an Immortal Emperor as their trump card but an Immortal Emperor could slash out thousands of such attacks at any time.
The Emperor clan relied on the methods left behind by the Immortal Emperors. However, the current Immortal Emperors were the source of power. They didn’t rely on anyone.
Other than the four elusive great Celestial Venerates, they were the most powerful ones in the world.
Hence, to the Moon Emperor, punishing a peak-stage Immortal King was nothing.
Even if the peak-stage Immortal King was just a step away from the Immortal Emperor Realm, this step was huge.
Lu Xuan had been an Immortal Emperor for a period of time. He had even been a Celestial Venerate, so he understood the mentality of these people. One realm’s difference was huge.
It could be said that the Immortal Emperor was the only people who could do whatever they wanted, just like how an Immortal King could kill a Great Luo Golden Immortal with a single thought; he did not even need a reasons or excuse to do it.
“It’s strange that the Shi Family seems to have stopped their petty actions against the Great Void Pavilion all these years!”
Han Xian’er said in puzzlement.
Although the Moon Emperor had grounded all the Immortal Kings of the Shi Family, they had a lot of other resources. It was not difficult for them to make trouble for the Great Void Pavilion.
The Immortal Kings outside the Shi Family were not grounded. Even though those Immortal Kings were probably afraid of Lu Xuan, it was still easy for them to target the Great Void Pavilion.
“They did not make a move because of the lesson given to them by the Moon Emperor. At least, they did not have the guts to make trouble before the Moon Emperor’s anger subsided. Secondly, they are terrified by my killing!”
Lu Xuan calmly spoke as he knew the Shi Family very well.
“There’s also another reason. They are waiting for one person to return. If I’m not wrong, that person will come back soon!”
At the mention of that person, Lu Xuan’s eyes narrowed. If there was someone in the Shi family that he felt was extremely troublesome, it would be that person.
To the current Lu Xuan, that person was an extremely troublesome person!
This person was the current Longevity Immortal King, the future Longevity Immortal Emperor!
The reason why the Shi Family dared to place all their hopes on the Longevity Immortal Emperor was that the Longevity Immortal Emperor was the grand disciple of the Stone Immortal Emperor back then.
The Longevity Immortal Emperor revealed his innate divine talent when he was young. He had a fortuitous encounter when he was little and accidentally entered a ruin. That ruin was left behind by the Stone Immortal Emperor, and the Longevity Immortal Emperor obtained his inheritance.
Just like the heroes in novels, he got his great power from this incident. He came out of the ruin as an immortal. At that time, he was not even twenty years old.
Ever since he came out, he considered himself as the successor of the Stone Immortal Emperor, and because of that, he was even suppressed by the Shi Family. Later on, for some unknown reason, the Longevity Immortal Emperor met the Shi Family’s chief and became her partner.
In the end, after going through many trials and tribulations, he finally became an Immortal King and gained the recognition of the Shi Family. Later on, he even became the Guardian Immortal King of the Shi Family.
His story was a hero’s success story, a wild dream for even a web novelist.
Moreover, it was extremely difficult to become an Immortal Emperor in such an era.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Xuan found the Longevity Immortal Emperor an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. In his previous life, Lu Xuan had fought with the Longevity Immortal Emperor, so he knew how terrifying the latter was. There was no way he could contend against the Longevity Immortal Emperor unless he reached the Immortal Emperor Realm.
The difference in strength between the them was too great.
Even with Lu Xuan’s current strength, he was still far inferior to the Longevity Immortal Emperor. If the Immortal Emperor wanted to kill him, he only had a 30% chance of escaping.
It would cause a huge commotion if news of this got out. After all, escaping from an Immortal Emperor was a record that would shake the world.
It would make him one of the best among the Immortal Kings!
Since the ancient times, less than ten people had achieved such a feat. And these people, without exception, had all become Immortal Emperors.
Hence, these people were considered as future Immortal Emperors. Ordinary Immortal Kings could never escape death if they fought with an Immortal Emperor. All they could do was fighting with all their might and dying with dignity.
Lu Xuan still remembered that this was the only time that he truly felt helpless and he was on the verge of death.
The Longevity Immortal Emperor inherited the Stone Emperor’s inheritance. Although he didn’t get along with the Shi clan in the early stages, he was ultimately indebted to the Shi Family. After becoming the Guardian Immortal King of the Shi Family, he also received the full resources of the family. Naturally, he owed them a favor.
Otherwise, how could the Shi Family get the Longevity Immortal Emperor to deal with Lu Xuan?
During that battle, Lu Xuan used all his methods but in the end, the Longevity Immortal Emperor destroyed his cultivation base, making him a mortal.
However, he didn’t kill Lu Xuan considering that Lu Xuan also had the bloodline of the Stone Emperor. He spared Lu Xuan’s life.
Even the Shi Family believed that Lu Xuan would die and that there was no chance for him to recover.
No one had expected that Lu Xuan would actually benefit from this misfortune. He began cultivation again and found a new path of cultivation.
Before this, Lu Xuan’s cultivation methods were very complicated. He did not enter a famous sect nor did he have a master teacher to guide him. Basically, he leant whatever he could get his hands on and cultivated different methods in different realms.
Although it seemed fine on the surface, in reality, his foundation was completely crooked. It was almost impossible for him to advance further with such a foundation.
So after the defeat, Lu Xuan re-established his foundation and started cultivating again. In just a hundred years, he managed to rebuild his cultivation base, and it was even stronger and more terrifying.
In another three hundred years, he broke through to the Immortal King Realm and in another five hundred years, he broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
To Lu Xuan, this near-death experience was akin to rebirth, in which he rebuilt his cultivation system.
Hence, to Lu Xuan, the Longevity Immortal Emperor did him a favor. He spared his life and didn’t kill him. So when Lu Xuan reached the peak of his cultivation, he beat the Longevity Immortal Emperor until half of his body was paralyzed. He also spared Longevity Immortal Emperor’s life, considering it a draw.
It was fair and just!
