Tan Xiu knelt on the ground and looked at Star Tears' incredulous expression. Then, he bitterly said, "I'm Xiu, your nephew, Auntie Star Tears! I was indeed dead, but now I'm alive again. "
Star Tears took out a sharp dagger and stabbed it into her thigh under everyone's watchful eyes. Blood flowed and a piercing pain appeared. She pulled out the dagger and couldn't control her Immortal Force to seal it. She threw herself to Tan Xiu and knelt on the ground. She tightly grabbed Tan Xiu's arms, widened her eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "You … you're really Xiu?"
Tan Xiu nodded heavily and let his tears fall. Then, he said word by word, "It was you who tortured me 10,000 years ago and made me lay a solid foundation on the path of cultivation. 9,000 years ago, it was you who took me to the Demon Realm and fought with the Demon Clan's experts for three years. 8,000 years ago, it was you who went to the Asura Realm alone to find the Udumbara Flower in order to refine the Primordial Chaos Pill for me. 7,000 years ago, it was you who broke into the Desolate Secret Palace alone to save me and brought me out after a narrow escape. 6,000 years ago, it was you who personally slaughtered a Five-clawed Golden Dragon and extracted its tendon to refine the Seven-colored Phoenix Zither for you. 5,000 years ago, it was you who gave me the Nine Revolutions God Soul Art, which made my spiritual sense soar. 4,000 years ago, it was you who … "
"Enough! Enough!"
Star Tears hated tears the most in her life, but at this moment, her face was already covered with tears. She completely lost control of her emotions and hugged Tan Xiu in her arms, wailing loudly.
Once …
She learned that her nephew failed to transcend his tribulation and his soul was scattered. She was in so much pain that she felt like thousands of ants were gnawing at her heart. She crossed hundreds of Immortal Domains to rush to the place where her nephew transcended his tribulation. She searched there for 100 years, but she couldn't find her nephew's body.
Once …
She blamed herself countless times for not rushing to protect her nephew when he crossed his tribulation. She didn't even see her nephew for the last time.
It had been 700 to 800 years.
She lived in pain and self-blame every day, praying countless times that her nephew's soul was not scattered. She prayed that her nephew was still alive in some corner of the world.
The dream had come true.
Star Tears hugged Tan Xiu's body and cried like a child.
"Mas … Master?"
Apotheosis Myriad Notes, Soaring Plumb, Nine Immortal Fingers, and Enchantress Yu were completely dumbfounded. They had made countless guesses about Tan Xiu's identity over the past year and thought of countless possibilities. However, they never dared to dream that their Master, Star Cultivation Great Emperor, was actually still alive.
Master had passed away.
The four of them were in great pain. If not for the fact that the Rosefinch Holy Sect was attacked by a powerful enemy, they would have gone into seclusion for thousands of years, guarding the place where they had spent time with their master.
Now.
Master had actually come back to life and appeared in front of them again. He had even risked his life to rescue the four of them from Heaven Mountain.
No wonder!
It was no wonder that someone was willing to take the risk of becoming enemies with a Supreme-Being and rescue the four of them from the sky. This person was Master!
"Plop …"
The four of them knelt behind Tan Xiu and cried like children.
After a long time …
Tan Xiu released Star Tears' arm and reached out to pull her up from the ground. He then turned around and pulled Apotheosis Myriad Notes and the other three up one by one. Looking at these disciples he had raised and trained, Tan Xiu patted Apotheosis Myriad Notes' shoulder and bitterly said, "It's been hard on you all these years."
"It's not hard on us, Master."
Apotheosis Myriad Notes shook his head desperately.
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and turned to look at Star Tears. Then, he said, "Auntie Star Tears, please take the Soul Plate. But I must cast the Soul Seal Curse on you. "
The Soul Seal Curse?
Star Tears pondered for a moment and immediately understood Tan Xiu's thoughts. She directly relaxed her mind and said in a deep voice, "Even if you didn't mention it, I would've told you sooner or later. The news that you're still alive must be concealed. It's because of my insistence that you had to reveal your identity. That's why I cast the Soul Seal Curse on us. Once any of us is captured in the future and the other party wants to read our memories through Soul Search, it will trigger the Soul Seal Curse and directly erase all our memories. "
Apotheosis Myriad Notes also firmly nodded and said, "You're right, Master. We haven't broken through to the Supremacy Stage yet, so we'll still be threatened by Soul Search. Only by casting the Soul Seal Curse on us will your identity not be exposed in the future. "
"That's right."
"Come on, Master!"
Apotheon Soaring Plumb and the other two also spoke.
Tan Xiu took a deep breath. Not only did he cast the Soul Seal Curse on Star Tears and Apotheosis Myriad Notes, but he also asked Tan Xiu to cast the curse on Apotheon Mu and Gu Yan 'er.
After finishing, Tan Xiu said, "Auntie Star Tears, I actually succeeded in crossing the tribulation back then. It's …"
He told the truth from beginning to end and finally said, "I just didn't expect that the two brothers I once trusted the most would actually harbor evil intentions. They even wanted to cut the weeds and uproot the entire Rosefinch Holy Sect. Now that I've come back alive, it'll be their doomsday in the future. In the coming days, I need you to stay by my side and help me raise a huge army of immortals, as well as countless outstanding experts. I'll do everything I can to get cultivation resources and restore my strength to the Supremacy Stage. "
Star Tears said resolutely, "This isn't just about you. It's the common goal of all of us. Xiu, you'll be the Great Emperor of the Great Tang Empire in the future, and we'll all be your subjects. I firmly believe that the Great Tang Empire will continue to grow under your leadership and continue to produce peerless geniuses and true powerhouses. When the time comes, we'll attack the enemy's lair and exterminate them all. "
Time flew by, and the years passed by quickly.
In the blink of an eye.
It had been ten years since Tang Xiu returned to the Immortal World. During these ten years, apart from running around everywhere in the beginning, he spent most of his time in the Misty Spring Ocean, desperately cultivating and constantly changing the situation in the Misty Spring Ocean.
Now.
The entire Misty Spring Ocean had become an iron bucket under Tan Xiu's management. The starfield didn't occupy a very large area, but he had formed a huge army.
The Dragon Army had 500,000 people.
The Tiger Army had 500,000 people.
The Phoenix Army had 500,000 people.
The Martial Army had 500,000 people.
The four major armies had a total of two million soldiers. Although most of them were children who had been trained since childhood, they had achieved initial results after ten years of training. In the past decade, the four corps commanders — Tang Guang, Mo Awu, Hao Lei, and Chen Shaohua — had constantly led teams to sweep through the surrounding star fields to temper themselves in life-and-death battles. Hence, their combat experience was very rich.
Repose Cliff.
Tan Xiu stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the four rows of generals of the Great Tang Empire in front of him. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Start the expansion plan."
"Understood!"
Hundreds of generals of the four major armies in battle robes knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.
After a while.
After they left, Gu Yan 'er appeared next to Tan Xiu. With a smile on her beautiful face, she said, "Master, I just received news that Jin Shi and the members of the Shadow Division found the Secret Palace of Drunken Immortal Supreme in the Immortal Dongting Domain. There are about three years left before the opening of that Secret Palace. Experts from dozens of Immortal Domains are now rushing to the Immortal Dongting Domain. Should we join them? "
Immortal Dongting Domain?
Drunken Immortal Supreme?
A surprised look appeared on Tan Xiu's handsome face. He said, "80,000 years ago, Drunken Immortal Supreme was extremely tyrannical and had few opponents in the entire Immortal World. Rumor has it that when he ascended to the Gods Realm, he left a message saying that he left his inheritance in the Immortal World. I didn't expect that it would be discovered now, and it's even in the Immortal Dongting Domain. "
Gu Yan 'er sighed. "For hundreds of thousands of years, the number of powerhouses who ascended to the Gods Realm in the entire Immortal World is definitely no more than 100, and Drunken Immortal Supreme is also one of the most outstanding ones among them. The Secret Palace he left behind will definitely drive countless powerhouses in the Immortal World crazy. "
"If I remember correctly, according to historical records, Drunken Immortal Supreme said that the Secret Palace he left behind doesn't allow powerhouses at the Supremacy Stage to enter," said Tan Xiu. "Only Perfected Golden Immortals can enter and obtain his inheritance. Moreover, the higher one's cultivation is, the more dangerous it is inside the Secret Palace. "
"I think it's very suitable for us," said Gu Yan 'er with a smile.
Tan Xiu nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since it's a huge opportunity, we naturally have to go there. I don't have much interest in the inheritance left by Drunken Immortal Supreme, but the countless immortal treasures he left behind are what we need. You must know that the richest Immortal 80,000 years ago was none other than Drunken Immortal Supreme! "
"There are only about three years left before the Secret Palace opens," said Gu Yan 'er. "I'm afraid it will take us nearly two years to get there from here. If we encounter some troubles and delays on the way, I'm afraid it will take even longer. "
"Yan 'er, I want you to stay here and guard the Great Tang Empire for me," said Tan Xiu.
"I don't want to stay, Master." Gu Yan 'er forced a smile. "Just let Aunty Star Tears help you manage the Great Tang Empire."
"Aunty Star Tears' character is not suitable." Tan Xiu shook his head.
"But …"
Gu Yan 'er's lips squirmed and she wanted to say something.
Tan Xiu raised his hand to interrupt her and said seriously, "I understand your thoughts, Yan 'er. But those who can make me feel at ease are either too weak in cultivation or not good at controlling the entire Great Tang Empire. Only if you stay here can I fight for the opportunity with peace of mind. "
"I …"
"Promise me, Yan 'er."
Tan Xiu hugged Gu Yan 'er and whispered in her ear, "Yan' er, I'm afraid the Secret Palace left by Drunken Immortal Supreme is full of dangers. I don't want any accidents to happen to you after I get you back. Only by staying here can I feel at ease. I believe you are well aware of your Master's ability. If I don't have any burdens, the chances of getting the treasures in the Secret Palace will be greatly increased. Just wait for me to come back. "
Although Gu Yan 'er was full of unwillingness, she couldn't say anything when Tan Xiu took the initiative to hug her. She could only nod silently and said, "Master, you must take care of yourself. Even if you get nothing, you must return safely."
