BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1223: Eternal Evergreen Tree
The atmosphere was still very clear and bright, but everyone in the city could sense the incoming storm.
Within the royal palace, everyone heard the domineering reply. Everyone fell silent but at this moment, from within the emperor palace, a blinding light erupted as a figure appeared.
This figure exuded boundless magnificence and was clad in green.
"Evergreen Immortal Emperor." All the experts here turned to that figure, only to see the Evergreen Immortal Emperor slowly soaring through the air as he spoke, "Adjudication rulings of the immortal realms? Please forgive I, Evergreen, for being ignorant. Everyone, which ancient emperor did you consult with to get the approval of the adjudication ruling?"
As the sound of his voice rang out, nobody could reply to him.
After all, even ordinary immortal emperors weren’t qualified enough to speak with the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.
"The era of ancient emperors has already become the past. The adjudication ruling was jointly invoked by all the powers in the Eastern Regions. Evergreen, don’t tell me you are planning not to comply and break the rules of the immortal realms?" In the air, a terrifying figure appeared. This person was mounted on a gigantic divine elephant that seemed to have the power to trample the heavens, crushing everything under it.
"Skymist Immortal Emperor." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor turned and glanced at the expert with a smile on his face. "To think that matters of juniors actually created so much trouble that the Skymist Immortal Emperor had to come here personally. I wonder if should I feel honored?"
"An immortal realm adjudication is a major thing. Since you refuse to comply, I can only show up personally. Don’t misunderstand." The Skymist Immortal Emperor spoke. With his appearance, everyone understood that this matter was far more serious than they had previously imagined.
Nobody knew what these supreme characters were thinking about. Maybe, they truly intended to use this opportunity to sink the Evergreen Immortal Empire into a state of eternal damnation with no hope of reprieve.
If the Evergreen Immortal Empire was destroyed, their vast land and resources would surely be of immense benefit to the Skymist Immortal Empire and the other peak powers. All the powerful cultivation arts would be taken, and the numerous geniuses born in these lands would be absorbed by them as well.
If these powers truly had enough strength to annihilate the Evergreen Immortal Empire, they would absolutely do so mercilessly. This was how cruel the immortal realms were.
The opportunity this time, was undoubtedly the best chance for all these powers to ally themselves, to deal with the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
"How many experts have decided to come this time? There’s no need to hide any longer, you guys can all directly come out." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor inclined his head and stared in the skies. As the sound of his voice faded, quite a few people appeared. Each and every one of them had an extremely terrifying aura that undoubtedly placed them at the emperor realm.
"Paragon Sword Emperor." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor stared at one of the figures. The figure road a flying sword and the space around him seemed to be a world of his own, a world of swords.
"Sky Demon Palace Lord." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor turned his gaze to another. This man was clad in black but he looked extremely young, only about twenty plus years in age. However, the light in his eyes was demonic to the extreme.
"Taihua Immortal Emperor." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor glanced at another figure. This man was clad in an emperor robe, radiating imposingness, unexcelled in the world.
The appearances of these experts caused everyone in the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire to feel as though their breaths were stifled. All of them thought that they had already overestimated the commotion of this event. But it turned out that they still underestimated it.
"Brother Violet also came together with Brother Eastern Sage?" Evergreen stared at the two figures in another direction. They were actually the Violet Emperor and the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
"Younger brother Evergreen, this time you refused to comply with the adjudication ruling and we have no choice but to do this. If you are willing to hand the people we want over, everything will be peaceful." The Violet Emperor faintly spoke. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor also nodded his head, his eyes casting a glance at Qin Wentian as coldness flickered within.
An immortal emperor actually hated an immortal-foundation character so much? This was truly a mystical thing.
He initially didn’t want to join in this storm. After all, his relationship with the Evergreen Immortal Emperor could still be considered not too bad. However, since the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect has joined in, it can be said that the peak powers in the entire Eastern Regions were here. It was very difficult for his Eastern Sage Immortal Sect to remain neutral. He had to choose a side.
And without a doubt, he had chosen to stand on the side of the Skymist Immortal Empire.
Before life and death, what is friendship? It wasn’t even worthy of a mention.
"What do the two of you intend then?" The Evergreen Immortal Emperor glanced at two directions, there were two more immortal emperors who appeared. One of them exuded a fearsome demonic air while the other seemed like the human emperor of this world.
"Just watching the show." The human emperor smiled. But who would believe his words?
These two experts were none other than powerful existences from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and the White Tiger Race. They clearly intended to participate in this matter today and had even urged the others on.
"The grudge formed by juniors when they were competing in the sacred academy actually caused two immortal emperors to come here to deal with them. How laughable." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor spoke. How could he fail to know where these two emperors originated from.
"Evergreen, hand the two of them over. Why must you gamble the lives of everyone in the Evergreen Immortal Emperor just for two juniors?" The Violet Emperor seemed to be kindly persuading the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. As for the two juniors he was talking about, everyone naturally understood who was that.
The daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor as well as Qin Wentian from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. The two of them were now standing together, with their heads inclined, staring at the immortal emperors gathered here today.
"The reason for wanting me to hand over my daughter, is because of the adjudication ruling. What about the reason for wanting Qin Wentian? Could it be that too many of the juniors of your clans and sects died within the sacred academy?" The Evergreen Immortal Emperor spoke.
"Don’t you understand? Given the situation now, is there still a need for any reason?" The Violet Emperor spoke as a wave of cold qi swept over the heavens and earth.
That’s right, was there even a need for any reason given the situation now?
Strength was simply freedom.
More and more beams of light shot out from the royal palace as terrifying aura fluctuations shook the entire space. Numerous powerful experts who were the allies of the Evergreen Immortal Empire all appeared.
"We pay our respects to master." The disciples of Matriarch Ji bowed to a female expert. This female was middle-aged and her robes were luxurious, as though threaded from the power of space. Her entire body shone with a terrifying light and the imposing majesticness in her eyes was terrifying to the extreme. When she gazed over, it was like the edge of a sword slicing through space.
"I want to see who can bring my disciple away today." This female expert was none other than Matriarch Ji.
"Master." Qing`er’s silhouette flashed, appearing next to Matriarch Ji. She was clearly touched by this gesture. Her master actually personally arrived just for her sake.
"The vile beasts of the White Tiger Race also dares to come? Those juniors of your race being barbequed was because they were deserving of their fate. It’s already very good that I didn’t look for you to settle the debt. To think that you all actually dared to come here, wanting to revenge yourselves on the juniors." Matriarch Ji stared at the immortal emperor from the White Tiger Race, then to the immortal emperor of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. She then continued, "As a peak power in the Central Regions, even the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire sent out an immortal emperor just to take action against a junior? Do you even know shame?"
Matriarch Ji didn’t show any courtesy at all. The moment she appeared, she insulted two immortal emperors. The white tiger immortal emperor exuded a heavy baleful energy when he heard that, terrifying to the extreme. This woman actually dared to humiliate his White Tiger Race in public.
"Emperor Lord." Qin Wentian bowed to another expert who just appeared. It was none other than the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.
"Matriarch Ji and the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord also wishes to interfere in this?" The Skymist Immortal Emperor questioned.
"You are still not qualified to talk to me." Matriarch Ji glanced at the Skymist Immortal Emperor as she replied, not polite at all. Her words caused the expression of the Skymist Immortal Emperor to change.
In truth, the Skymist Immortal Emperor was considered a junior. Even in terms of cultivation base, there was a huge disparity between him and Matriarch Ji. Matriarch Ji was the same as the Violet Emperor, both were peak-level immortal emperors.
Also, Matriarch Ji was even more ancient compared to the Violet Emperor and she had nurtured countless supreme experts. She even had immortal emperors among her disciples. How terrifying was this?
Although she didn’t have the ambition to rule the entire immortal realms, there was no need to doubt the extent of her influence and power in the Eastern Regions.
"Matriarch Ji, this is the adjudication ruling. You cannot change it alone no matter how powerful you might be." The Violet Emperor spoke arrogantly, looking straight at Matriarch Ji.
"Don’t forget that this place is my Evergreen Immortal Empire." At this moment, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor suddenly spoke. When his voice rang out, an intense burst of light erupted forth all of a sudden, wanting to piece through the domes of heaven. In the direction where the emperor palace lies, an ancient tree suddenly manifested, shooting right up into the sky. It radiated intense vitality as its branches continued to spread and multiply as it grew larger and larger.
Swishing sounds rang out continuously. In just a few short moments, this terrifying tree had already enveloped the entire royal palace and was now extending towards the imperial city. Despite the distances of thousands of miles, the tree branches extended over in an instant.
The experts here all trembled when they saw this. This was too shocking, they saw the ancient tree’s top already breaking through the clouds, while the branches of the tree enveloped everything in the imperial city.
Within the the Evergreen Immortal Empire, a strange scene had appeared. It seemed like this tree, was so large that it was an entire world.
The divine elephant mount of the Skymist Immortal Emperor let out trumpeting roars, causing the earth to tremble, as boundless might akin to powerful meteors slammed down onto the light screen manifested by the ancient tree but all of them were directly absorbed and disintegrated.
In the air above, boundless astral light flashed. At this instant, the ancient tree begin to glow with a shimmering light.
"Eternal Evergreen Tree." The countenance of the Skymist Immortal Emperor turned heavy when he saw this. Since the Evergreen Immortal Empire was known as a peak power in the immortal realms, they naturally had extremely deep foundations.
And indeed, if war broke out in the territory of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, this was extremely disadvantageous to all of them.
Similarly, if the battlefield was in their Skymist immortal Empire, it would be the same for the Evergreen Immortal Empire as well.
Qin Wentian inclined in head and stared at the shocking scene before him. A single leaf was already so many times larger than him. This tree was like an ancient tree whose height reached the heavens. It was the protector of this entire royal palace, and the entire imperial city.
"The Southern Phoenix Clan also has their ancestral phoenix while the Evergreen Immortal Empire has this Eternal Evergreen Tree. Seems like all ancient peak powers have extremely deep foundations and immensely powerful trump cards!" Qin Wentian silently mused to himself.
