Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After a long while, Emperor Xi’s figure floated down to the ground and came to an empty spot. The once tall Turtle Peak had been reduced to a plain.

It was not just Turtle Peak. Huge chasms had appeared on Turtle Deity Island. Even the Divine Ocean Continent had been pierced through by the sword. The surface of the ocean was constantly roaring now as the ocean surged back into the land.

There was a huge hole down below. It was the place where the gigantic Xuanwu had slumbered. Emperor Xi stared at that spot, not saying anything for a long time. This Xuanwu had been his demonic beast companion. He had followed Emperor Xi for many years, and they had grown up together.

Many years ago, the Xuanwu began his slumber. Upon his awakening, he had perished to aid Emperor Xi in facing the divine tribulation.

“Emperor Xi, do not grieve,” said the Chief of Domain Chief’s Manor. “Brother Xuanwu has a righteous spirit. Aiding you in facing this tribulation must have been his wish. Do not feel so sad.”

The various top cultivators looked towards Emperor Xi. Although they were giant figures, for many of them, this was also their first time witnessing a divine tribulation.

There were three stages for a divine tribulation of the Great Path. Each was more difficult than the previous one. This had only been the first stage, and it was already so terrifying. They thought to themselves that if they were to face the tribulation themselves, they would not have done any better than Emperor Xi. They would have most likely perished during this stage. The Sword of Law was too frightening. Such a blow was enough to destroy them.

Now, Emperor Xi’s abilities could only be compared to the Chief of the Donghua Domain. The others did not have the confidence that they could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Emperor Xi.

“Teacher, please do not feel too sad,” the Thunder Punishing Skylord also spoke. Although he was a Skylord and a giant figure, he still called Emperor Xi his teacher and was very respectful. Back then, if it hadn’t been for Emperor Xi’s guidance, Thunder Punishing Skylord might not have been able to reach his current level.

Emperor Xi nodded his head slightly. He turned his gaze to the crowd who was comforting him and said, “Thank you, all of you. My intention for facing the tribulation this time had originally been to allow the world to witness what a divine tribulation truly was. I had made peace with whether I lived or died to it. It is just that I never imagined that I survived while the Xuanwu had taken my place in dying. Nevertheless, if I cannot make it through the second tribulation, I’ll go give him some company.”

Before the Xuanwu had perished, he had asked Emperor Xi not to face the second tribulation. However, Emperor Xi had clearly not taken his advice to heart.

Having cultivated until his current level, Emperor Xi had his own beliefs. Regardless of whether he lived or died, he would give things a try. It was still the same now.

However, after having felt the might of the first stage, Emperor Xi himself did not have high hopes of surviving the second tribulation.

The Sword of Law appeared during the first stage. What would appear during the second?

No one knew, but it would certainly be even more terrifying.

Right then, Emperor Xi lowered his head and looked down below. He extended his palm forward, and immediately, the power of the Great Path began to accumulate. The hole in the ground was filled up, and then a mountain rose from the ground. Its shape was the same as Turtle Peak before it. It was as though everything from before had been preserved just as it once was.

After reforming Turtle Peak, Emperor Xi took a step forward and landed on it. The cultivators from the various top forces also headed over to where he was. They soon landed on Turtle Peak. Many people were somewhat curious as to how much Emperor Xi’s abilities had improved after facing the tribulation.

However, they would most likely not have the chance to know. Emperor Xi would not display it to them.

“Although the process was somewhat saddening, I still have to offer my congratulations. A person who has passed the first stage of a divine tribulation has appeared in our Donghua Domain. Another legendary figure has emerged in the Divine Prefecture,” the Donghua Domain Chief said as he looked at Emperor Xi. It would have been inappropriate for others to have said this, but this person was instructed by Donghuang the Great to supervise the Donghua Domain. He was the Domain Chief. There was naturally no issue with him stating such things.

Emperor Xi replied, “The Divine Prefecture is vast and has countless cultivators. There are too many experts, and there are still hidden existences. The Donghua Domain is similarly full of cultivators. The crowd that came here today are all among the top figures. In the future, there will be a surge of prominent figures emerging. For me to be able to survive the tribulation this time was already pure luck. It is not worthy of praise.” He seemed to brush it aside casually. Experiencing this tribulation was equivalent to having a life-or-death experience. His mindset was more at peace.

“You are too modest,” said the Chief. “Emperor Xi, are you willing to enter the Domain Chief’s Manor to cultivate? Or maybe the Imperial Domain? I am sure that His Highness also needs figures like you.”

Emperor Xi shook his head and said, “I’ve grown accustomed to idling about. Also, I do not wish to leave. In the future, I will continue to stay here and cultivate. Matters in the Divine Prefecture’s cultivation world still require the Chiefs to bear the burden of the Great Emperor.”

The Chief nodded his head. He was merely offering a suggestion. Such matters could not be forced.

“If that is the case, I will not continue to disturb Emperor Xi’s meditation,” said the Chief with a smile. He then glanced around at the crowd and said, “Everyone, if you have the opportunity, come visit the Donghua Heavens next year. My visit is somewhat abrupt this time. Next year, in the Donghua Heavens, I wish to meet with the prominent figures of the various continents.”

“Since Chief has invited us, I will naturally not turn down the offer,” the Ling Xiao Palace Palace Lord replied with a smile. This caused many people to give him a look. Ling Xiao Palace was originally located in the Donghua Heavens. He would certainly have no problems with this since he did not need to travel.

“I will consider it,” responded Sword Goddess of Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow. The others also give their own responses.

“We will also not disturb Emperor Xi’s cultivation. Farewell,” Sword Goddess declared. She was also someone with a flawless Great Path. Her cultivation was extremely potent, and she was known as one of the top existences in the Donghua Domain. Having witnessed Emperor Xi face the tribulation, she was inspired and planned to continue cultivating in seclusion once she returned.

If she were to invite a divine tribulation of the Great Path one day, would she be able to receive the Sword of Law?

“We will also bid farewell,” members of the crowd said one after another. The tribulation passed, and there was no need for them to remain. Although they were acquainted with each other, that was all just formality. They were not on very friendly terms. All of them had only come for the divine tribulation.

As it had passed, they should be returning home.

Emperor Xi nodded his head. He did not ask them to stay. Or rather, he was not in the mood to ask them to stay.

“May all of you have a safe trip home,” Emperor Xi said. All the cultivators slowly left Turtle Peak with their respective groups.

“Let’s go,” the Millet Emperor commanded Ye Futian and the rest. Everyone nodded in agreement and flew up to the sky. They followed the Millet Emperor and were ready to return to the Dongxiao Continent.

They left Turtle Peak and traversed in the sky.

“Hang on, Millet Emperor.”

A voice suddenly came from behind them while the Millet Emperor and his group were traversing among the clouds. The Millet Emperor stopped in his tracks. Everyone turned around and saw a group of cultivators approaching them. Very quickly, the approaching group caught up and stopped when the two groups were near. They stared at the Millet Emperor and the rest of his group.

When the Millet Emperor saw the approaching group, he frowned. Ye Futian and the others also revealed cold looks.

The person who had called out to them was the prince of Great Yan Ancient Royal Family. He stood at a distance from them with an imposing manner. He swept a glance over their group.

Behind the prince, the cultivators of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family were also here. They were all looking at the Millet Emperor. A formless pressure enveloped this part of the sky.

Previously, Ye Futian and the rest were already dissatisfied when Yan Dongyang from Great Yan Ancient Royal Family led the cultivators of the Yan Kingdom to the Wangshen Watchtower. Moreover, the two groups had bad blood with each other, to begin with. Emperor Yan and the Millet Emperor were not on good terms with each other. Now, most likely, nothing good would come from the prince calling out to them.

Far off in the distance in different directions, the people who were initially about to leave noticed the situation over here. They could not help but stop in their tracks. Their wills emanated from their bodies as they observed the situation over here.

It seemed as though the storm had yet to pass.

“Is there anything you need?” the Millet Emperor asked as he swept an indifferent gaze towards Emperor Yan. The old grudges between them ran deep, but they did not resort to blows. The Millet Emperor’s tone was clearly cold. He, naturally, would not give the other party face.

“Yes, there is,” Emperor Yan replied while nodding his head. He said, “Eastern Deity Island has once again begun to be active outside after so many years. They have actually emerged from Eastern Deity Island. Hence, I wish to demand a few people from the Millet Emperor!”
