Chapter 1260: Chapter 950: Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor Ends Seclusion

Time passed, and only after a long while did the voice of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor enter from the inner sanctum.

“Wu Peng, are you sure the Great Emperor’s Tomb really exists?”

“You should know, what consequences you will face if you deceive me.”

Covered in sweat, Wu Peng immediately prostrated on the ground and said, “Please rest assured, Honorable. We have already sent people to preliminarily confirm it, and there is a high possibility that the Star Domain contains the Great Emperor’s Tomb.”

As soon as Wu Peng finished speaking, he instantly felt the pressure on him intensifying.

The Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor coldly said, “Possibility?”

Wu Peng hastily replied, “We have not yet determined the exact location of the Great Emperor’s Tomb, so…”

Before Wu Peng could finish, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor cut him off.

“Since you haven’t confirmed the location of the Great Emperor’s Tomb yet, you dare to disturb me. It seems you really do not know the meaning of death.”

As soon as Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor finished speaking, he came out directly from the inner sanctum, and the next moment, his figure appeared in front of Wu Peng.

The Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor had graying hair and wrinkled skin, looking aged and frail.

Seeing the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor leave the inner sanctum, Wu Peng slightly paused. He hadn’t expected the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor to come out so quickly. He thought only after the discovery process of the Great Emperor’s Tomb had been reported would the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor emerge.

After all, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor was already at the stage of breaking through to become an Emperor Level cultivator. If it weren’t for a necessary matter, he definitely wouldn’t appear. The news about the Great Emperor’s Tomb wasn’t certain; if after coming out it turned out that the Great Emperor’s Tomb did not exist, wouldn’t the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor have wasted a trip and delayed his time for achieving Emperor Level due to a non-existent tomb.

What Wu Peng didn’t know was that the main reason the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor came out so easily was that he found some problems with the method of becoming an Emperor, causing his cultivation to be somewhat hindered.

Otherwise, Wu Peng wouldn’t have been able to awaken him so easily. He originally planned to solve his own problems first before going into seclusion again.

However, he hadn’t expected Wu Peng to come at this time, saying that the Great Emperor’s Tomb had been discovered, so he took the opportunity to come out directly.

After Wu Peng came back to his senses, he hurriedly said, “That Star Domain was locked down with restrictions by a mighty power and even erased from the star map. Even if there is no tomb of the Great Emperor, there must still be treasures.”

Hearing this, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor paused for a moment. The entire Star Domain was set with restrictions?

Only an Emperor Level could achieve this. In that case, the Star Domain Wu Peng mentioned really might contain the Great Emperor’s Tomb.

If there were no treasures, or a Great Emperor’s Tomb, such Emperor Level powerhouses wouldn’t have taken the trouble to seal off the entire Star Domain, let alone go so far as to erase it from the star map.

Throughout history, most discovered tombs of Great Emperors were in areas locked by restrictions or from places erased from star maps.

Since the place Wu Peng mentioned not only has restrictions but also was erased from the map, it proves that if there indeed exists a Great Emperor’s Tomb there, the Emperor buried in that Star Domain is definitely not an ordinary Great Emperor.

At this thought, a subtle smile appeared on the face of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor. He hadn’t expected his luck to be this good. Originally, he thought it hopeless to become an Emperor within five thousand years, but unexpectedly, an opportunity had quickly come knocking at his door.

If he could obtain the Spiritual Medicine or treasures from inside the Great Emperor’s Tomb, especially the opportunity to become an Emperor, perhaps he wouldn’t need five thousand years to achieve it.

With the opportunity found inside the Great Emperor’s Tomb, the previous method of becoming an Emperor could also be discarded.

Although that method could also help him become an Emperor, the cost of becoming an Emperor was simply too great. It required the burning of his own Lifeblood Essence, and most importantly, he was not sure if he could endure until the moment he became Emperor.

Originally, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor was a graceful young master, but because of practicing that method of becoming an Emperor, he had now turned into an old mess. Although in the cultivation community, appearance isn’t particularly important for the strong, the Quasi-Emperor still cared somewhat about his looks.

If possible, he wouldn’t want to use that method of becoming an Emperor, but the allure of becoming an Emperor was too great. Moreover, there was a chance to become an Emperor within five thousand years. Faced with such temptation, what Quasi-Emperor wouldn’t want to try it?

However, after trying it out, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor suddenly wasn’t as eager to become an Emperor anymore. The process of burning his Lifeblood Essence was too painful, and he couldn’t even enter the state of meditation, which is why he was awake when Wu Peng came to wake him.

At this moment, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor said, “If your information is true, and you have indeed discovered the existence of the Great Emperor’s Tomb, there will be a great reward. But if it turns out to be a wasted trip for me, you should know the consequences.”

Wu Peng promptly replied, “This junior understands, this junior understands.”

The Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor then said, “Alright, rise.”

As his voice fell, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor waved his hand, and in an instant, they were in the great hall of the Dragon-Riding Sect. The several black dragons in the hall, upon seeing the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor, were so frightened that they lay on the ground, daring not to move.

At this time, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor asked, “How has the Skyfire Clan been recently?”

Wu Peng answered, “The Skyfire Clan has already sent people over. They said they want to pledge loyalty to the senior and become a subordinate force.”

Hearing this, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor chuckled lightly, then said, “I really thought they would oppose me forever for that so-called Heavenly Emperor. It seems their faith is not all that strong after all.”

The Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor continued asking, “By the way, has there been any movement from Mu Qinglan?”

The Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor had long been fond of Mu Qinglan and had wanted to make her his woman. However, because he had always been focused on breaking through to Emperor Level, this matter had been delayed.

His initial plan was to become Emperor first, then marry Mu Qinglan. In this way, Mu Qinglan would have no way to refuse him.

The Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor also knew that the Skyfire Clan was quite special. If Mu Qinglan were to use all her strength, even facing him, she would have a chance to fight. Therefore, before becoming an Emperor, the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor couldn’t be sure that he could win over Mu Qinglan.

But it would be different after becoming an Emperor. The gap between an Emperor Level and a Quasi-Emperor is like that between a star domain and sand. Once he became an Emperor, with his Emperor Level strength, Mu Qinglan, no matter how unwilling, could not escape his grasp.

Wu Peng replied, “According to the information this junior has gathered, she has been in seclusion in the Imperial Mausoleum of the Skyfire Clan and has hardly ever come out.”

At this point, Wu Peng suddenly remembered something and then said, “This junior recalls that she did come out once. It’s said that two Tributors of the Skyfire Imperial Family didn’t recognize her and offended her. In a fit of anger, she killed those two imperial Tributors and afterward, many tributors from the Skyfire Imperial Family left the Skyfire World.”

“Not long afterward, the Fire Emperor sent someone to the Dragon-Riding Sect, expressing a desire to pledge loyalty to the senior.”
