Chapter 6307: The Grudge Back Then
“Heavens! I knew you were powerful, big sister, but I didn’t know you were this strong! I have heard that only the most formidable figures in the Ancient Era are revered as emperors. If you defeated someone revered as an emperor in the Ancient Era, doesn’t that mean you are also...?”
Chu Feng looked at Long Zhuoyan with widened eyes. Could she have been an Emperor-tier powerhouse too?”
Looking at Chu Feng’s astonished expression, Long Zhuoyan burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! I am no pushover, but I had a capable assistant with me when I defeated the Dharma Emperor. I bet you have heard about that person.” Long Zhuoyan intentionally kept Chu Feng in suspense.
“Who is it?” Chu Feng asked.
“You’re a world spiritist. You should at least know who the strongest world spiritist in the Ancient Era is, right?” Long Zhuoyan asked.
“World Spiritist Emperor Qin Jiu?!” Chu Feng exclaimed.
“Yes, that’s right,” Long Zhuoyan replied.
“Big sister, you’re acquainted with the World Spiritist Emperor?” Chu Feng’s interest was piqued.
The World Spiritist Emperor was a truly formidable figure.
Chu Feng’s exceptional strength as a world spiritist could be greatly attributed to the Ruler’s Bloodline he inherited from his mother. However, when he first left the Ancestral Martial Galaxy, his world spiritist technique lagged far behind his peers.
He couldn’t even defeat Bai Yunqing back then.
It was after acquiring World Spiritist Emperor Qin Jiu’s legacy that his world spiritist techniques improved by leaps and bounds, allowing him to claim the advantage even against prodigies like Jie Tian, who had been carefully nurtured by Jie Tianran from a young age.
He might have never met Qin Jiu before, but he viewed the latter as his master and felt indebted to him.
If Long Zhuoyan was acquainted with Qin Jiu and still alive, could Qin Jiu be alive too? If possible, he would love to meet the World Spiritist Emperor in person.
“I’ve met him several times. We did somewhat become friends later, but that was my first meeting with him. Back then, he was not the World Spiritist Emperor yet. Both of us were still rising stars in the world of cultivation. We have built up a fair reputation, but it was nowhere near the extent of commanding respect from the entire world. In contrast, the Dharma Emperor was already revered as an emperor by then.
“You have to understand that the Ancient Era was far from peaceful. There had been so many wars that there were only five Emperor-tier figures alive then.” Long Zhuoyan even opened her palm to emphasize her point.
Chu Feng was hooked on the story. He was curious to know what happened among Long Zhuoyan, Qin Jiu, and the Dharma Emperor, so he patiently listened without interrupting her.
Long Zhuoyan continued, “Most of the remnants you see now are either left behind by earlier cultivators of the present era or those from the Ancient Era. There aren’t many Immemorial Era’s remnants around because the people of my era have unearthed practically all of them.
“But back then, there were some Immemorial Era’s remnants that hadn’t emerged yet. It happened during the emergence of an Immemorial Era’s remnant. The remnant naturally drew in many people.
“Shortly after I entered the remnant, Qin Jiu approached me and proposed a partnership. I was proud and aloof then, not to mention that Qin Jiu was a stranger, so I planned to turn him down. But Qin Jiu gave me a compelling reason to accept his request—his world spiritist technique was superior to mine. Thus, I gave in and accepted his partnership.
“It was only later that I learned how sly he was. He realized right from the start that this remnant had something to do with our Dragon Clan, and that I, a Dragon Clansman, have an advantage in the remnant. That was why he approached me for a partnership.”
Long Zhuoyan sounded displeased when she spoke about this matter. It felt like she had fallen for Qin Jiu’s ploy and was exploited.
“What happened next?” Chu Feng urged.
“We naturally reached the end of the remnant, but much to our surprise, someone else managed to do the same—the Dharma Emperor. Many notable figures gathered when the remnant emerged, but the Dharma Emperor remained hidden. As soon as I saw the Dharma Emperor, I realized the remnant was greater than I expected. Otherwise, someone of his caliber wouldn’t have joined the commotion.
“Of course, I panicked at the sight of the Dharma Emperor. He was already a renowned figure standing at the peak of the world of cultivation then, whereas I was merely a rising star. Even the Qin Jiu then wasn’t a match for the Dharma Emperor, let alone me.
“But Qin Jiu remained perfectly calm. He got straight to the point and said that the remnant could only be cleared by the two of us, and the Dharma Emperor had no choice but to work with us if he wanted to obtain its rewards.”
A smirk gradually formed on Long Zhuoyan’s face as she recalled that day. There was a brief silence before she continued, “It still shocks me when I think about it now. Where does he find the galls to request the Dharma Emperor to cooperate with us?”
She turned to Chu Feng and added, “But what shocked me more is that the Dharma Emperor actually agreed to it. As it turned out, the Dharma Emperor was almost useless in the remnant. Qin Jiu and I did the bulk of the work, and the Dharma Emperor only contributed in a few parts. Eventually, we cleared the remnant and obtained its power.”
Chu Feng couldn’t help but ask, “What kind of power is it?”
“It’s a power left behind by the Immemorial Era’s Dragon Clan. It harnesses the ability to enhance one’s bloodline. It is a power that can greatly benefit the three of us, so a conflict naturally arose when it came to the distribution of the power.
“I was much more cowardly then. I would have been thankful if someone as powerful as the Dharma Emperor shared even a tiny portion with us. The 10% he offered already surpassed my imagination. On top of it, it would be worthwhile if we could get on close terms with the Dharma Emperor over this.
“To my surprise, Qin Jiu rejected the Dharma Emperor’s offer. He even threatened the Dharma Emperor to split the reward equally, or he would get nasty. I honestly thought Qin Jiu was out of his mind back then, and I prayed hard that I wouldn’t be implicated in this madness.”
Long Zhuoyan suddenly stopped the story here and turned to Chu Feng. “What do you think happened next?”
“Big sister, don’t keep me in suspense,” Chu Feng urged.
“There’s no way the Dharma Emperor would play along with Qin Jiu. He tried to coerce us into submission. That was my first time witnessing the strength of an Emperor-tier expert. Much to my surprise, his overwhelming strength failed to hurt me and Qin Jiu.
“Qin Jiu had prepared a hand. There was no need for the Dharma Emperor to intervene while we were clearing the remnant. Qin Jiu laid a trap for him by asking him to help, and the Dharma Emperor fell for it. Through that, Qin Jiu obtained the power to suppress the Dharma Emperor in the remnant.”
