Chapter 1844: He Is My Student

Chenyong Emperor's injuries were so severe that not only had his foundation been destroyed, but his soul had already begun to dissipate. He had never intended to continue living, and never dreamed that the young master would bestow such a precious opportunity upon him, allowing him to save someone else!

If before, he acknowledged the other as young master because of the spirit god, now he was truly convinced and won over.

This young master, though sometimes unreliable and disregarding rules, had his own bottom line in dealing with people. No matter how difficult the situation, he would not give up his principles.

Perhaps this was his true charisma, the real reason countless disciples and beast pets willingly followed him, without regret even unto death.

"Teacher..."

Liu Yang clenched his fists.

Putting himself in the other's shoes, he would never have so easily given up the opportunity granted by a god to save someone else... Thus, teacher was teacher, worthy of admiration and respect.

"Having such a master is my fortune!"

Fire Xu Ancient Saint's eyes also reddened.

As a sacred beast, the greatest fear was entrusting oneself to the wrong person, a master who would disregard his beast pet for his own life... Throughout their journey, this master had not only failed to do so but had always considered its welfare. Acknowledging such a person as master, even if he truly died for him, he would do so willingly!

The same thought occurred to Mo Ling Ancient Saint. Everyone looked at the scene before them, each with their own thoughts and complex expressions.

"Young master, I am beyond saving. Don't waste the opportunity on me..."

His body trembling slightly, Chenyong Emperor struggled and shook his head.

The god's promise to act held immense value and effect for cultivators. His dying body was not worth wasting such an opportunity.

"Whether it's a waste, I, the young master, will decide!"

Looking up at the figure in the sky, Zhang Xuan said, "Well? Since the Spirit God instructed you to help me, you wouldn't be unable to fulfill my first request, would you!"

"He..."

The figure glanced down at Emperor Chenyong, frowned, and said, "Are you sure this is your request?"

"I'm sure!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

"Very well..."

The figure paused. "His life force is severely damaged. In this world lacking in power, it's nearly impossible for him to survive, unless... he is brought back to the Upper Realm! However, the spatial barrier is firm, and if I want to bring someone across, I will also suffer backlash from the rules... How about this: I can take his soul away and find a way to heal it, but as for his physical body, there is nothing I can do!"

"Even just the soul is fine!" Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

As a soul shaman, he knew well that as long as the soul remained, life still existed; at most, it would take some effort to refine a new body.

"Alright."

The figure said no more, and with a gentle grasp of her jade-like hand,

Emperor Chenyong, who had been sitting motionless, tilted his head, his breath ceased, and his soul immediately appeared in her palm, sealed by a special force.

Boom!

Having done this, the figure slowly floated upward toward the light, her figure growing fainter, as if she might tear through the spatial barrier again at any moment and vanish from this world.

Suddenly, she stopped and tilted her head slightly. "I finally understand why the Spirit God has a special fondness for you... But to find her will be fraught with countless difficulties. I hope you can persevere..."

With that, she grew fainter and fainter, and with a "bang!" disappeared from the spot, leaving no trace behind.

"I will..."

Watching the figure vanish before his eyes, Zhang Xuan clenched his fists.

Whoosh!

The light dissipated, and the ritual came to an end.

Zhang Xuan stood still, feeling a sense of loss.

Although he still hadn't obtained definite news of Luo Ruoxi this time, he already understood that truly being with her would be fraught with difficulties, and the first step was to break through, to shatter the void!

Only by reaching this realm would he have the opportunity to enter a higher world, to ascend to the heavens, and to seek his beloved.

"Master..."

"President!"

The Fire Xu Ancient Sage and the Mo Ling Ancient Sage approached.

Zhang Xuan turned his head.

"The three emperors of the Alien Spirit race have all fallen. Now the entire royal clan is without a leader. This Yang Liu, though confirmed as the Yong Emperor, is sorely lacking in cultivation and experience. I think we should..."

A gleam flashed in Mo Ling Ancient Sage's eyes, filled with murderous intent.

The Wu Soul lineage, enduring hardships and biding their time while lurking among the Alien Spirit race, had the greatest wish to annihilate them. Now, the time had finally come. With the president's strength and prestige, a single command would make it easy to replace them!

Without answering the two, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Liu Yang!"

Liu Yang came forward, his knees giving way as he knelt down: "Disciple Liu Yang pays respects to my esteemed teacher!"

"Disciple? Esteemed teacher?"

Exchanging glances, both ancient sages were stunned.

When had the young master (president) taken this new Chen Yong Emperor as his disciple?

"I am my esteemed teacher's direct disciple. I took him as my master over a year ago..."

With a light laugh, Liu Yang's internal cultivation method returned to normal, the killing aura on his body disappeared, his height gradually decreased, and he soon transformed back to his original appearance.

"You... you're human?"

Mo Ling Ancient Sage's eyes widened.

"Yes."

Liu Yang nodded.

Since there were no outsiders here, there was no need to continue hiding.

Mo Ling and Fire Xu Ancient Sages were both dumbfounded.

The Chen Yong Emperor had been on guard and had painstakingly sought out a successor, only for that successor to be the president's (master's) student. Didn't that mean that without even needing to seize it, the Alien Spirit lineage had already fallen into their hands?

"Alright, Liu Yang is my direct disciple. Now that he has just been confirmed as the Yong Emperor, there are bound to be many voices of opposition. You two assist him. Within a month, quell the rebellion, unify the Alien Spirit race, and establish him as the sole Alien Spirit Emperor!"

Saying no more, Zhang Xuan gave his orders.

Although the Ling Emperor and Xing Emperor were dead, their subordinates remained, and there were many kings in various regions that needed to be unified. Liu Yang had just received the inheritance and had a shallow foundation, so he naturally needed the support of these two.

With them around, no one in the Alien Spirit race could resist. It was only a matter of time before Liu Yang became the true Alien Spirit Emperor who controlled the world.

"Master (President), rest assured. We will fully assist by your side and help suppress the rebellion!"

Mo Ling Ancient Sage and Fire Xu Ancient Sage nodded simultaneously.

"Go. I will go into seclusion for a while. After you quell the unrest and truly control the Alien Spirit race, come find me here."

Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Everyone nodded in unison.

Consolidating the forces of the three emperors would certainly be fraught with difficulties. However, with the prestige of having slain a 'god' and the dying entrustment of the Chen Yong Emperor, Liu Yang's success would not be hard.

Watching them leave, Zhang Xuan remained quietly in place for an unknown length of time. Then, with a flicker of his body, he entered the folded space.

Now that he had some free time, he could see if he could refine the corpse of that 'god' into a soulless golden man!

Incidentally, he could refine the leg bones and foot bones for the Ruthless One, and find a way to make them grow flesh. He could also study and observe carefully, striving to reach this realm as soon as possible, and thus shatter the void!
