Chen Qing was horrified and almost wanted to say something. However, Jian Wushuang covered his mouth tightly with his hand.
"Don't make a sound."
Chen Qing nodded, not daring to make another sound.
The flask that Yang Jun put away was filled with wine. After a rough journey, there was still more than half of it left.
Yang Jun removed the cork and began drinking with the other three Celestial Emperors …
Di Qing woke up from his coma. When he saw the four Celestial Emperors drinking, he was shocked beyond belief and hurried towards Jian Wushuang.
"Quick, let's go!" Di Qing whispered, his eyes filled with panic.
Jian Wushuang nodded. Although Celestial Emperor Six Ravens and Yang Jun and the other three Celestial Emperors were old acquaintances, that didn't mean they were safe.
After all, they were the ones who came up with the idea of entering the Celestial Court in the first place. Now that they were able to leave safely, it was already a blessing.
While the four Celestial Emperors were drinking, the five Celestial Emperors prepared to leave the Celestial Court.
"Hold it right there." Celestial Emperor Six Ravens' eyes glinted coldly. "Do you think you can just leave after coveting the Celestial Court's people?"
Cold sweat trickled down their temples. The pressure from the Celestial Emperors was so great that it made them feel as if they had fallen into an icy cavern.
"Six Ravens, you can kill them all, but not that young friend." Yang Jun took a big gulp of wine and pointed at Jian Wushuang.
"Why?" Celestial Emperor Six Ravens asked.
"Because that young friend is fated to be with us. He has a great responsibility on his shoulders." Yang Jun said mysteriously.
Celestial Emperor Six Ravens didn't refute him. He looked away from Jian Wushuang and looked at Di Qing, Chen Qing, and the others.
Suddenly, they all turned to look at Jian Wushuang because of the great crisis between life and death.
"You can't kill them all, senior."
Just as Celestial Emperor Six Ravens was about to attack, Jian Wushuang's calm voice sounded. He slowly stood up.
Having lost an arm, he had yet to fully recover. His body was on the verge of collapse, and his face was completely pale.
"We've been hunted down by the outside world all this time. It was by chance that we accidentally entered this former Heavenly Court. We didn't come here on purpose with covetous intentions. Moreover, we didn't do anything that would harm the Heavenly Court. If we were to be killed just like that, it would be too unreasonable."
Only Jian Wushuang's calm voice echoed in the heavily guarded hall.
When Emperor Six Crow heard this, he sneered. "If he doesn't covet it, why did he touch my real body?"
"I, I …" Di Qing looked at Jian Wushuang for help, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He furrowed his brows and quickly thought of a countermeasure.
A moment later, Jian Wushuang raised his head and said, "Senior, this is indeed our fault. We originally wanted to see the Emperor's true face, but we couldn't help but subconsciously touch the Emperor's true body. We are truly guilty."
At this point, he turned to look at Di Qing and said calmly, "Di Qing, lose an arm."
When Di Qing heard this, he was stunned at first, but then nodded without hesitation.
This was a way out for him by Jian Wushuang. He was willing to sacrifice an arm in exchange for a way out.
Without hesitation, he slashed at the arm with his palm. However, he soon realized that he couldn't do it.
When Jian Wushuang saw this, his heart sank. This meant that Emperor Six Crow had no intention of letting them live!
Emperor Six Crow, who was hovering in the air, snorted coldly. "You think you can settle this with just an arm?"
From Emperor Six Crow's cold tone, it was clear that he still had no intention of letting them go. However, Jian Wushuang remained calm and said, "Yes, just an arm."
"Buzz!"
An unparalleled Emperor's aura swept across the hall, almost crushing them into dust in an instant.
Then, Emperor Six Crow raised an arm and dragged Jian Wushuang into the air.
An indescribable sense of suffocation brought him closer to death.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Emperor Six Crow's emotionless voice rang out.
Jian Wushuang looked straight at him and said hoarsely, "I am, but fear can't solve everything. Instead of being afraid, why not find the best solution?"
The Heavenly Court was dead silent. It was so silent that one could hear the sound of breathing.
After some time, Emperor Six Crow, who was still like a statue, finally moved. His lips curled into a subtle smile. "This kid is not bad. I like him."
Emperor Yang Jun and the other two Emperors looked at each other and curled their lips. "Cut the crap. We liked him before you did."
"Cut the crap. You can't even protect yourselves. What help can you give him?" Emperor Six Crow's face was full of disdain. He then looked at Jian Wushuang.
"I like you, kid. I want to give you a great opportunity."
Jian Wushuang heard this. Although he was a little dizzy, he reacted immediately and shook his head. "My talent is mediocre. I'm afraid I can't take it. Forget it …"
The atmosphere froze. Everyone was shocked. Even Emperor Yang Jun and the other Emperors were shocked.
An opportunity bestowed by an Emperor, even if it was an Emperor's obsession, was enough to cause countless heavens to fall into chaos. Countless Grand Expansion Immortals would go crazy. It was a supreme existence that couldn't be sought.
But now, he was rejected!
Everyone was confused. Only Jian Wushuang had his own thoughts. There was no such thing as an opportunity for no reason. If one wanted to obtain it, one had to pay a corresponding price.
If he accepted Emperor Six Crow's great opportunity, there would be a corresponding task waiting for him.
Emperor Six Crow was stunned when he heard his rejection. He then said angrily, "You don't know what's good for you. You have to agree today even if you don't want to!"
After saying that, his shadow suddenly dimmed. Then, countless wisps of dark cyan light surged out from his body and directly entered Jian Wushuang's body.
The Heavenly Court trembled and collapsed at the same time.
"Listen, kid. My last obsession is about to die. The great opportunity I'm about to give you is not something ordinary people can accept. It's also not something ordinary people can understand."
"Now, I'm giving you my last obsession and understanding. Understand it well."
Monarch Six Crow's last shred of determination was disappearing. He stared at Jian Wushuang with his golden eyes and said, "If you ever reach that stage, don't forget to stab Zhen Wuyang with your sword for me. It'll be a consolation."
"The Six Crow Celestial Emperor Rune can be understood and used. But you can't walk down my path."
Jian Wushuang couldn't speak anymore. It was as if his soul was burning. Every cell in his body was exploding.
Strands of irresistible external energy entered his body. It left an indelible mark in his mind and consciousness.
His severed arm was rapidly growing back together with the terrifying Derivation Force.
The five dark green words "Six Crow Celestial Emperor Rune" turned into secret runes. They were accompanied by the aura of the Ancient Gazing Emperor. They lit up in Jian Wushuang's consciousness.
