My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Chapter 220: Selecting a Celestial Emperor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The demonic realm was now merged with the immortal realm, causing panic to spread throughout the latter. The demons have always been the bane of the immortal realm’s existence. It could be said that they were arch-enemies.

That day, the moment the vibrations stopped, the immortals in the vicinity came out to find out what was going on. Perhaps because Blackie was strict with his demons, there was no movement in the demonic realm. No demon came out to find out what was happening. That was why no fight broke out just yet.

But the immortals who found out what happened were shaken to their core. This was not just the appearance of the gates to the demonic realm – the entire demon race had migrated to their doorstep.

The demons have always been ferocious. Inside the demonic realm, there were ten Skyfiends who were even more ferocious. Skyfiends were equivalent to Celestial Emperors. Now the immortal realm was short of two Celestial Emperors, and the demonic realm had a Demon King that was stronger than all of them. If a fight really broke out, the entire immortal realm would be devastated.

Suddenly, all the immortals around the Emperor Ascension Stage moved away. Immortals from all the different continents were panicking, anticipating the beginning of the big battle between demons and immortals. Only the various Celestial Emperors in the Heavens beyond Heaven remained relatively calm.

What’s the big deal about the Demon King – we have the Exalted Goddess!

(づ̄3 ̄)づ╭~

The moment the various Celestial Emperors received the news, they thought about Shen Ying.

Therefore, the radishes who took so much effort to return to their bodies turned and gathered at Invincible Sect.

At the bottom of the hill, there was an entire row of rad.. Wait, they were Celestial Emperors. Lonemoon’s expression darkened.

Damn it, this bunch of freeloaders- weren’t they done? They had not even paid their fees for the last time they stayed here! Them aside – even Bai Ti was here now. So... Lonemoon added one more stroke to their debt to him.

Shen Ying could not be bothered with the radishes either. She gestured for Blackie to go over to her. She was going to leave them to their own business – anyway, none of them bothered to bring her anything to eat!

She could not tell whether it was because Lan Hua, the demon, was present to scare them, or because the Demon King’s scared demeanour left a deep impression in their heads. Both parties negotiated amicably and very smoothly. The various Celestial Emperors showed no disdain for the Demon King, and did not even try to pick a fight.

Everybody was very clear that this was very different from the original states of the two realms. At that time, when the Heavenly Pillar was holding things up, the two realms did not overlap. That was how they managed to continue to lead independent lives. Now that the immortal realm and the demonic realm were merged together, they could no longer run things separately. If one realm fell, the other would be affected as well.

The immortal realm was now in the same space as the demonic realm. That was a fact and there was nothing they could do to change it. All they could do was... deal with it!

The two realms were merged, but they still had their boundaries. As long as they consciously stayed out of each other’s paths, there would be no big problems. There would inevitably be some conflicts between the two realms – that was why they had to set some rules and regulations.

The various Celestial Emperors discussed with the Demon King for several days. Finally, they managed to set the rules and regulations governing any interactions between the two realms. The basic idea was for them to maintain the isolation of the realms – they were to minimise interactions as far as possible. In other words, they could each do whatever they wanted as long as they remained on their side of the realm.

Both parties had no opinions. They discussed more minor details and decided to adjourn the meeting. The Demon King updated Shen Ying and then quickly escaped back to its own side of the realm. The eight Celestial Emperors – who clearly had no sense of shame – remained in Invincible Sect.

“What?” Shen Ying paused. “The Bo Sea and Yi Shui... What?”

“Exalted Goddess...” Chu Xuan laughed nervously as he stepped forward. “Zi Chen is a demon and Xin Han has also fallen. Now, the Bo Sea and Yi Shui both have no emperors governing over them. We have to push someone up.”

“And then...”

“Given the Exalted Goddess’ cultivation level, you are clearly the best person to rule over both territories. What’s more, the Bo Sea and Yi Shui are connected, and coincidentally...”

“Coincidentally, they’re also connected to the demonic realm?” Shen Ying completed his sentence.

Chu Xuan: “...”

The Celestial Emperors: “...”

Must she be so straightforward? How were they supposed to carry on the conversation now?

(+_+)~

“Sect Master Shen...” At last, Chen Ge was the one to speak up first. “We did think of sending you to scare off the demons, but the Bo Sea and Yi Shui indeed cannot carry on without an emperor. Otherwise, trouble is bound to start there. Those territories are near the demonic realm as well, we cannot take it for granted that the demons would not try to invade them.”

“That’s right, Exalted Goddess!” Chu Xuan nodded furiously. “As of today, there is no immortal in the immortal realm who is a Celestial Emperor. We have no other solution that’s why-”

“I’m not going!” Shen Ying sat down on her chair. I reject the offer! It’s so troublesome to be an official. As a sect master, she’s already being forced by Lonemoon to water the radishes every day. Would she even have time to eat if she agreed to become a Celestial Emperor? No way!

“Eh!” Chu Xuan stared blankly at her. “Exalted Goddess...”

“Save it – she won’t go with you.” Lonemoon looked pointedly at the yawning foodie. What Celestial Emperor? She would push all her responsibilities to him in the end. “The Invincible Sect already has enough on its plate with all of these disciples. If you really can’t find someone, why don’t I give you a recommendation?”

“Who is he?”

“Of course it’s Tao Shu!” He sold the man out once again without any hesitation whatsoever. “DId he not just become an immortal emperor awhile ago? He’s a sword cultivator as well – he must be capable enough to be a Celestial Emperor, right?”

They all paused to think for a moment. That was indeed true. Immortal emperors were a whole cultivation level below Celestial Emperors, but sword cultivators were indeed stronger than ordinary immortals. If he were made a Celestial Emperor, he would truly be able to handle the masses.

“But even if Tao Shu can become a Celestial Emperor, he can only rule over one territory,” Bai Ti said. Tao Shu was only an immortal emperor after all. He could take care of one continent, but the public would be unhappy if he were allowed to rule over both the Bo Sea and Yi Shui. “What are we going to do about the other continent?”

“Why are you looking at me?” Lonemoon rolled his eyes. He already helped them to look for one Celestial Emperor, why couldn’t they think of the other person?

The various emperors fell silent. They were going to make a couple of suggestions when they heard a loud crash coming from outside. A great surge of energy filled the entire main hall, and it looked like it was going to condense to form something.

“This is...”

They all flew out of the hall in shock and realised that it was extremely dark outside. The entire sky was overcast and the immortal Qi in the surroundings were surging toward the rear hall. The pressure was making even the Celestial Emperors feel uncomfortable.

In the middle of the layers of immortal Qi, Yi Qing held on to a plate of pastries. In his other hand, he held a rolling pin. He had a nonchalant expression on his face.

“Yi Qing, it’s your lightning tribulation!” Lonemoon immediately realised what was going on.

“How could it be?” Yi Qing looked up at the overcast sky and started. In a flash, he appeared before the various immortals and handed the plate over to Shen Ying. “Master, your osmanthus cakes.”

“Oh, thank you!” Shen Ying received the plate.

He turned to Lonemoon. “Father Niu...”

“I know.” He was going to tell Lonemoon to cook for Shen Ying. Every time he went through the lightning tribulation, he gave the same instructions. How naggy! Lonemoon waved him away. “Hurry, the lightning tribulation is going to start.” If he didn’t move further away, the sect would be affected.

Yi Qing nodded, turned and mounted his sword, then flew far into the distance. He even forgot to set down the rolling pin in his hand.

Less than five minutes later, blinding flashes of lightning struck down where Yi Qing was. The ground began to shake.

“Young Emperor Yi Qing is going to ascend once again! We should celebrate!” The various emperors’ eyes twinkled as they exchanged meaningful looks. “Young Emperor Yi Qing is also a sword cultivator, right?”

“...” Lonemoon pursed his lips. Damn it, they just could not run away from these responsibilities. If he had known earlier, he would not have recommended Tao Shu.

“Young Emperor Lonemoon, it looks like the future Celestial Emperor of the Bo Sea would be...”

Lonemoon’s expression darkened. He immediately retrieved the jade flute from within his robes and said very seriously, “Various Emperors, it seems you have made your choice. Why not we talk about other matters, like the accommodation fees, utility bills and other service fees that you owe to my Invincible Sect for the past two times that you stayed here.”

He shook his jade flute, and it immediately turned into a white jade abacus.

F*ckers, you’re causing me so much trouble, my surname would not be Niu if I don’t make you pay for it!

The Celestial Emperors: “...”
