"Father, are you still going to stand by and do nothing?"
Ji Yaoxue looked at the Emperor of Great Zhou with a hint of reproach in her eyes. The heroic aura between her brows was domineering and she already had the unique dignity of an Emperor!
"Firstly, Su Zimo is my savior. If not for him in the ancient battlefield, I would have fallen into the hands of Jun Hao and the others a long time ago!"
"Secondly, Su Zimo is the number one Weapon Refinement Master of Great Zhou and will definitely become a Weapon Refinement Master in the future with a limitless future."
"Thirdly, and most importantly, Su Zimo has already unlocked nine spirit meridians and cultivated to the unprecedented Extreme Foundation Establishment realm. He is the second person in history apart from the Human Emperor! Isn't a paragon as such worthy of being recruited by the Great Zhou Dynasty? "
Ji Yaoxue's three sentences silenced the emperor completely.
In reality, the emperor was still moved by the third point.
If he could truly recruit an Extreme Foundation Establishment Cultivator, there was a high chance that the Great Zhou Dynasty could defeat the other three dynasties and unify the North Region of Tianhuang Mainland!
However, the Palace Lord of Blood Crow Palace came from the witch race, one of the Primordial Nine Races.
If he did not deal with it properly, it would be normal for the entire Great Zhou Dynasty to be destroyed instantly and reduced to ruins, let alone unifying the North Region of Tianhuang Mainland.
More than 10,000 years ago, a massive entity stood on this piece of land known as the Great Qian Empire!
Only by unifying all the dynasties and vassal states of Tianhuang Mainland could it be called an empire!
The strength of the Great Qian Empire was much stronger than the current Great Zhou Dynasty and its territory was even more vast.
Within the territory of the Great Qian Empire, there were many super sects and top factions of Tianhuang Mainland. Among the Buddhist monasteries alone, there were two major monasteries!
Buddhism flourished in the Great Qian Empire.
Unfortunately, a calamity befell them.
Almost overnight, the Great Qian Empire fell apart and the capital was reduced to ruins as well.
As a result, the North Region of Tianhuang Mainland was in chaos and the flames of war burned everywhere. Billions of living beings died and their corpses were tossed into the wilderness.
From then on, the Great Qian Empire vanished into thin air!
The world was in chaos and warlords vied for supremacy.
Four vassal states conquered cities and territories and rose rapidly. They were the current Great Zhou, Great Xia, Great You and Great Shang dynasties of the North Region of Tianhuang Mainland.
Which was also to say that the four great dynasties were established on the ruins of the Great Qian Empire!
The instigator of this calamity was one of the Primordial Nine Races!
The old ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had lived for more than 10,000 years. Back then, he had personally witnessed the destruction of a great empire. He still had lingering fear towards the Nine Ancient Races.
This patriarch was a Dharma Characteristic expert, a Dao Lord of a generation. It was not too difficult for him to take down a Void Reversion expert like the Palace Lord.
However, if he provoked terrifying existences like the mighty figures of the Magi race and the Ancestor …
Even if there were ten Great Zhou Dynasties, they would be annihilated!
The battle was getting more and more intense. Misty Peak's side was in a bad situation, and Su Zimo was also unable to save the situation by himself.
However strong Su Zimo was, he could not influence the outcome of the battle in the Nascent Soul Stage or decide the fate of Misty Peak!
Ji Yaoxue was anxious. When she saw the emperor's silence as though he was deep in his memories, she could not help but ask, "Father, what are you hesitating for? If you can't make up your mind, why don't you send a message to the patriarch of Great Zhou and let him decide? "
The emperor snapped out of his trance and shook his head, replying with certainty, "The patriarch will definitely not agree to it."
"How would we know if we don't try?"
Ji Yaoxue looked at the emperor unblinkingly.
The emperor could clearly sense the worry and urgency in Ji Yaoxue's heart. However, she was trying her best to suppress it and did not offend him with her words.
The emperor sighed internally.
In reality, the one who resembled him the most among the younger generation and had the aura of an emperor was not the princes, but his daughter!
However, Ji Yaoxue was a woman and could not inherit the throne.
"I admit that Su Zimo is at Extreme Foundation Establishment and the second Human Emperor. He's an unprecedented paragon with an unfathomable future. However …"
The emperor changed the topic and said in a deep voice, "Su Zimo is about to die. How can he achieve anything without a future? This time round, Misty Peak and Su Zimo are doomed. I can't think of any way for Misty Peak to break out of this situation! "
Ji Yaoxue said in a huff, "Nothing is absolute."
The emperor said in a deep voice, "If … if Su Zimo can survive this calamity, then …"
The emperor did not continue and merely raised his head to look deeply at Ji Yaoxue.
At that moment, the emperor made a decision.
If Su Zimo could survive this calamity, he would go against everyone's wishes and pass the throne to Ji Yaoxue!
…
On the other side of the forest.
"There's no chance,"
Gu Xi shook her head. "That person isn't here. Misty Peak is done for."
"Auntie Gu, is there any other way to save him?" Demoness Ji frowned.
"I'm at late-stage Nascent Soul and I can at most stabilize the Nascent Soul battlefield. However, that old ferocious beast of Misty Peak above the clouds can no longer hold on."
Gu Xi said regretfully, "It's a pity that Su Zimo, the second person in history to reach Extreme Foundation Establishment, is going to die before he can mature."
Demoness Ji's eyes dimmed.
Gu Xi sighed. "The calamity 10,000 years ago left a deep impression on the cultivation world. For the sake of Misty Peak, no cultivator or sect would be willing to offend a great enemy like the witch race! "
…
Beneath Misty Peak, blood flowed like rivers and corpses piled into mountains.
On the battlefield of Jin Dan, Su Zimo made use of his strong physique and terrifying movement techniques to ensure that he was not defeated.
However, on the battlefield of Nascent Souls, Misty Peak was completely defeated!
More than half of the hundred odd Genying Zhenjun were dead. The remaining Genying Zhenjun were severely injured as well and could only barely defend as they retreated.
It was only a matter of time before Misty Peak was completely wiped out.
Above the clouds, the old immortal crane's situation was even worse!
The old immortal crane did not have much lifespan to begin with. If she could not advance any further, she would only be able to last for a few more decades even without this calamity.
Although her true form was a Bi Fang, an ancient pure-blooded ferocious bird, she was already old and her combat strength was not even half of her peak.
She was fighting against five Void Reversions and one of them was even from the witch race. By now, the old immortal crane was already at the end of her rope.
She was covered in injuries and her eyes were dim. Countless feathers fell and the flames burning on her body were gradually extinguished as well.
Waving his bone staff, the Palace Lord shot out a blood arrow with a torrential evil aura.
"Pfft!"
The old immortal crane could not dodge in time and a bloody hole the size of an arm appeared on her wing.
The wound sizzled and corroded the flesh around it, emitting a pungent stench. The old immortal crane grunted dully.
The next moment, the attacks of the other four Void Reversions landed on the old immortal crane.
Poof! Poof!
Two more wounds appeared on her body and blood gushed out.
The old immortal crane's body almost exploded and one of her legs was snapped. It was a tragic sight and she was on the verge of collapsing.
Ever since the Ancestral Master of Misty Peak passed away, the old immortal crane had guarded Misty Peak for thousands of years. She had truly given everything she had and fought till the very end without backing down!
Everyone from Misty Peak was devastated when they saw that.
"Senior crane!"
Patriarch, Ling Yun and the others cried out tragically.
The outcome of the battle was set. Once the old immortal crane died, the other cultivators of Misty Peak would be fish on the chopping block.
"Fufufufu!"
The Palace Lord sneered, "Old beast, I've said that I'm going to slaughter everyone from Misty Peak today! Not a single soul will be spared!"
