Rebirth wasn't a simple matter. Even the City Lord of the Wronged would need a few years to complete it. The exact time was uncertain, but it was certain that he would arrive at the True Martial Emperor Palace first.
"It will be a battle to the death, so from today onwards, the True Martial Emperor Palace will prepare for that battle," Emperor Zhenwu said in a hoarse voice.
He gave Long Chen the impression that he was on the brink of death. He didn't know how much combat power he could display in the future.
Emperor Zhenwu had lived for tens of thousands of years, and his lifespan had long since come to an end. He would definitely find a way to delay the arrival of the thousand-year time limit, but at the same time, he would be greatly restricted. After all, the thousand-year time limit was set by the heavens.
After that, the two of them remained silent. Long Chen thought that he had finished and was about to leave. However, at this moment, the other party suddenly said, "I wonder if you're interested in the position of Sacred Martial Emperor."
Long Chen had only heard of Emperor Zhenwu, but not Sacred Martial Emperor. He asked, "Sacred Martial Emperor? What is that?"
From the name, it should be a high position in the True Martial Emperor Palace.
Zhenwu Great Emperor didn't answer directly. Instead, he said, "The previous generation's Sacred Martial Emperor died during the Nirvana Tribulation a thousand years ago. The Zhenwu Emperor Palace hasn't had a Sacred Martial Emperor for a thousand years. In the past few years, I've discussed with the three Martial Honors and decided to select a Sacred Martial Emperor. If you turn back at this juncture and ask Wenren Xi to recommend you, fight for it yourself.
If even Emperor Zhenwu thought so highly of him, Long Chen guessed that Sacred Martial Emperor's position was even higher than the three Martial Sovereigns.
Seeing Long Chen's confusion, Emperor Zhenwu said, "Sacred Martial Emperor is my successor. If I die, you will be the new Emperor Zhenwu."
Long Chen held his breath when he heard this.
Emperor Zhenwu …
To the people of the Three Regions and Nine Realms, this was an incredibly high position. It represented boundless glory and godly might. Long Chen had learned about the Eternal God Domain, and his horizons were very high. But in his heart, he was still filled with reverence for the position of Great Emperor Zhenwu. He had never imagined that Great Emperor Zhenwu would trust him so much that he would let him take on the position of Super Godhood, which would inform the billions and billions of citizens of the Zhenwu Imperial Domain.
Therefore, for a moment, he was stunned.
The Sacred Martial Emperor was a unique tradition of the True Martial Emperor Palace. Even the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace and the Desolation Emperor Palace didn't have such a system. Mo Xiaolang was the son of the Desolation Emperor and was respectfully addressed as the Imperial Prince. However, there was no system that stipulated that the Imperial Prince would be the new Desolation Emperor after the death of the Desolation Emperor. The Sword Spirit Emperor Palace didn't even have the tradition of the Imperial Prince. However, the True Martial Emperor Palace was different. Every generation of the Sacred Martial Emperor was actually the crown prince.
"It all depends on you. If you are willing to serve the millions of people of my True Martial Imperial Domain and dare to take on this great responsibility, I will give you a chance to compete. Every generation of Sacred Martial Emperor is a glory, and my time is coming to an end. If you have the determination and perseverance to take on this great responsibility, and this sense of responsibility, then tell Wenren Xi."
Long Chen calmly pondered for a while. He understood that the position of Sacred Martial Emperor, although it meant that he would soon control the entire True Martial Emperor Palace, his name would soon spread throughout the ages, and no one would dare to underestimate him, it also meant a heavy responsibility. Especially with the imminent catastrophe of City Lord of the Wronged, it meant that he would soon rush to the forefront of the battle. For the sake of the True Martial Imperial Domain, he would go through fire and water without hesitation.
This was a major decision. He had just arrived and his foundation was not stable. He didn't feel a sense of belonging to the True Martial Emperor Palace as he did to the Myriad Kingdoms Domain. Therefore, he was very hesitant. On one hand, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to take on such a great responsibility. On the other hand, he felt that it was his duty to do so.
"Go back and think about it. However, if you really are the Sacred Martial Emperor of the True Martial Emperor Palace, I think the four great sword masters won't dare to underestimate you anymore. You and the reincarnated Sword Soul Old Ghost should have more hope. The old ghost's reincarnation this time involves many secrets that I don't know about."
Long Chen was a little surprised. Even the True Martial Emperor didn't know about the secrets involved.
Could it be that the matter of Lingxi's reincarnation wasn't as simple as he thought?
"He's right. If I can become someone like the Sacred Martial Emperor, I'll be second only to one and above tens of thousands. I'll be able to command the entire True Martial Emperor Palace and possess great strength. When I arrive at the Sword Soul Emperor Palace, no one will dare to underestimate me anymore …"
The matter of Lingxi and the great responsibility that he needed to shoulder made Long Chen have some thoughts about the Sacred Martial Emperor.
Of course, he still needed to think about it.
"Go, I have to sleep." The True Martial Emperor sighed.
As soon as he finished speaking, a force appeared out of thin air and brought Long Chen out of the five-colored vortex.
This short journey was like a dream. Long Chen was a little dazed. It took him a long time to recover and process the information he had received. At the same time, he felt a smooth hand grab his wrist and pull him down into the huge True Martial Emperor Road. Long Chen didn't need to look to know that Lin Junyao was protecting him. Otherwise, the pressure here would have been enough to make his body collapse.
Indeed, experts couldn't be looked down upon.
Lin Junyao didn't ask anything, but Long Chen saw Wenren Xi. Lin Junyao smiled sweetly and said to Wenren Xi, "Don't be nervous. You can have your man back."
Wenren Xi smiled awkwardly and continued to lead Long Chen down. After taking two steps, Wenren Xi asked, "Long Chen, did the Emperor Lord tell you about the Sacred Martial Emperor, also known as the Young Emperor?"
Although the Sacred Martial Emperor wasn't necessarily stronger than the three Martial Venerables, his status was indeed second only to the Emperor and above billions of people. Also known as the Young Emperor, it was the dream of countless experts of the new generation. At the very least, any martial artist under the age of five thousand could become a Young Emperor. Of course, those with great potential and strength had priority. The greater the potential, the greater the chance.
"The Emperor Lord said that I can fight for it if I want to."
Long Chen understood that he was following Wenren Xi. It seemed like there was competition between the three Martial Venerables. It wasn't as harmonious as he had imagined. Wenren Xi naturally took Long Chen in. Having someone to protect him in the Martial God Palace was a good thing. Wenren Xi was a good person, so Long Chen simply went with the flow.
In any case, his goal was to cultivate and become stronger.
"The Sacred Martial Emperor is the dream of all Martial God Palace disciples. You don't have to think too much about becoming the next Emperor. After all, it's everyone's dream. The competition is very fierce. If you want to, there are two opponents that you have to pay attention to. They are the experts of the new generation of the True Martial Emperor Palace. They are even stronger than Huang Yu."
"En." Long Chen was very curious about whether there were geniuses like Wang Chen in the True Martial Emperor Palace.
Wenren Xi chuckled and said, "Actually, a few months ago, the situation of our Martial Emperor Palace was similar to that of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. There was a young martial artist from Ye Futu's faction who was known as the 'Little Martial God'. He was recognized as the strongest expert of the new generation of the True Martial Emperor Palace. He was as famous as Wang Chen of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. Below the Little Martial God, there were people who were at the Martial Dao Perfection Realm. They were extremely talented and had various bloodlines. There were a few who were at the same level as Huang Yu. However, because of the Emperor Spiritual Qi Tide, the situation of the new generation of geniuses has changed."
Ye Futu was one of the three Martial Venerables. He was known as the Slaughter Martial Venerable.
Just by hearing this name, Long Chen could tell that he was a peerless God of Slaughter.
Before the Emperor Spiritual Qi Tide, the True Martial Emperor Palace was the same as the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. There were many experts. The Little Martial God from Ye Futu's faction was a super genius.
"The Emperor Spiritual Qi Tide. Did someone pass the Nirvana Tribulation?" Long Chen guessed.
This was because Wang Chen and Mo Xiaolang had both entered the Nirvana Tribulation on that day. As one of the three great Emperor Palaces, the True Martial Emperor Palace probably had some geniuses who were stuck there.
Wenren Xi nodded and said, "That is indeed the case. As expected, the Little Martial God passed the Nirvana Tribulation and stepped into the Nirvana Tribulation Realm, causing his strength to skyrocket. However, what is surprising is that there is an unknown little girl from Lin Junyao's lineage who also passed the Nirvana Tribulation and became a Nirvana Tribulation Realm cultivator. You are very familiar with this little girl, she is your old rival, and her name is Feng Zhilin. Because of her appearance, the Little Martial God also has an opponent, hehe …"
Wenren Xi looked like a teenager, but he spoke very maturely.
"Her."
Long Chen was startled. When they separated, he killed the one in Feng Zhilin's body. He didn't expect that Feng Zhilin and Yang Lingqing would both benefit from a disaster.
Now that he thought about it, he should go to Yang Lingqing's place.
Wenren Xi said, "Yes, I know that she was once fused with a Divine Martial Soul. Later, she benefited from a disaster and obtained his Dao seal. That's why she could enter the Nirvana Tribulation Realm so easily. Of course, it's very difficult for a martial artist like her to pass the Nirvana Tribulation, but she had the willpower to endure it. She's a good child. She has a strong heart and is even stronger than some men. Nowadays, the children call her the Witch of Wind, hehe …"
This was the extent of the Great Dao of Soul Fusion's help to Feng Zhilin.
She still had to rely on herself for the rest of her cultivation.
"You can defeat an ordinary Nirvana Tribulation martial artist, so this little girl shouldn't be difficult to deal with. However, the child Ye Futu adopted has a special constitution and a strange undying body. I've seen him before. He's practically unkillable. Even if his head is crushed, he can still come back to life. His body's recovery ability far surpasses that of an unparalleled golden body, and his fighting will is extraordinary. Although this little Martial God is a little brawny and simple-minded, he won't be easy to deal with. And this time, Ye Futu clearly wants him to become the Holy Martial Emperor."
"Oh …" Long Chen nodded.
Actually, he was still hesitant. Was he able to take on such a great responsibility?
The City Lord of the Wronged had brought about a catastrophe.
