Peerless God Emperor

2Currently in the Di Family, even though there were many direct descendants, there were still faint traces of them being the main bloodline. The other direct descendents served as support, and each had their own bloodline that they wished to support.    

    

After all, none of the other direct bloodline geniuses were born, so they didn't have the qualifications to fight.    

    

If they were successful in forming a team, they would be able to make a comeback, but if they were in the wrong team, they would suffer losses.    

    

However, right now, each of the major direct bloodline had someone who they wanted to support. The discussion just now was just a dispute, and no one would agree on that.    

    

There were a lot of people supporting the four main bloodlines, and in terms of numbers, they were about the same. It was just that there were a little more people supporting Di Shifeng, because there were some people who were more conservative and were not willing to change their prince, which might bring about some bad consequences.    

    

Di Zhangkong's eyes swept over the crowd below him. After a moment of silence, his face turned solemn as he spoke, "Based on the results of the various elders' agreement, I've already made my decision. Everyone, you may leave. I will announce the rules of the test that day, so there's no need for you all to ask about it in private."    

    

When the elders heard this, they no longer asked any more questions. It was impossible for them to get anything out of the Patriarch, so they all excused themselves and left the hall.    

    

The reason why Di Zhangkong didn't announce the rules at this point in time was because he wanted to wait until the day of the test to announce them. Firstly, he wanted to give them a sense of urgency, telling them to go all out.    

    

Although the possibility of such a thing happening was small, in the face of great benefits, he had no choice but to be on guard.    

    

As the leader of the family, he had to be impartial. Not only did he have to allow the great bloodlines to compete with each other and increase his own strength, he also had to control his own strength and prevent them from killing each other.    

    

At Qin Fang Yuan, in a quiet and beautiful pavilion, a few young men sat around a stone table. They were Lu Jun, Wu Qiankun and the rest.    

    

At this moment, their faces were filled with worry. Since Qin Xuan still hadn't arrived, they were naturally very anxious.    

    

Lin Ru looked at them from afar, then walked towards them and asked: "Are the few of you still worried about him?"    

    

Lu Jun heard these words and looked towards Lin Ru. He nodded: "Of course I'm a bit worried, although I know that Eastern Emperor's luck is astonishing, but facing such a pursuit, how can he escape by himself?"    

    

"If he dies, the Martial Saint Palace's army will trample him to the ground!" These few days, he had been thinking about the identities of those people for a very long time. The greatest possibility was that they were the Heavenly Sword Sect s.    

    

The hatred between Donghuang Yu and Tianji Sword Lord was the deepest, and had already reached the point where water and fire couldn't tolerate each other. If Donghuang Yu died, then the happiest person would no longer be Tianji Sword Lord.    

    

"I do believe that he will be able to turn the situation around and escape that calamity, but, I wonder if he will be able to make it to the Haotian Island to participate in the test." Lin Yichen said. Although he had not interacted much with Donghuang Yu, he could sense a sense of confidence from him, so regardless of what happened, he would not be surprised. Since he dared to stand out, he must have some confidence.    

    

The other people also clenched their fists slightly. Their lives had been saved by Donghuang Yu, who abandoned them to save them, and so they all hoped that nothing would happen to him.    

    

Lin Ru's gaze captured all of the people's reactions, and a faint look of gratification appeared in the depths of his eyes. Although that brat was arrogant and unbefitting of a disciple, his popularity was not bad. It had only disappeared for a few days, and there were already so many people who missed him, so it was worth it.    

    

"Everyone, there's no need to worry about him. It's best for you to think about how to face the upcoming trials. There's not much time left for you all." Lin Ru said to everyone.    

    

When Lu Jun heard this, his expression changed slightly. He raised his head and looked towards Lin Ru, as if he was trying to find something from his expression.    

    

"Does senior know the situation of Eastern Emperor?" Lu Jun probed, his eyes carrying a deep meaning.    

    

Amongst them, the person who had the most relationship with Donghuang Yu was none other than Lin Ru, but Lin Ru did not seem to be anxious about his whereabouts at all. He even advised them to be at ease, there was only one possibility, Lin Ru might know of some things!    

    

Wu Qiankun, Lin Yichen and the rest also seemed to have realized something, and looked at Lin Ru.    

    

"Looks like I can't hide it anymore." A bitter smile surfaced on the corner of Lin Ru's mouth, then he said: "Donghuang Yu is fine right now, and is currently rushing over here, he should be able to arrive in time."    

    

When Qin Xuan was about to leave for the Haotian Island, he used a sound transmission jade to inform Lin Ru and obtained some information about the Haotian Island from him.    

    

Hearing Lin Ru's words, the hearts of everyone present finally dropped. It was a good thing that they were fine, if not, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.    

    

"Senior should have already known that he was fine, yet he still helplessly watched us being worried for him. Should he give us an explanation?" Lu Jun stared at Lin Ru and said.    

    

"That's right, Senior's actions are too unkind." Fan Hua also agreed, making them worry for nothing.    

    

"Cough, cough." Lin Ru coughed, he turned and walked towards the pavilion and muttered: "Recently I have been getting old, and my memory is also not very good."    

    

"…"    

    

The crowd was speechless as they stared speechlessly at the departing silhouette.    

    

Older?    

    

Could this even be considered a reason?    

    

"He was actually deceived to such an extent. This guy, we can't trust him in the future." Lu Jun said softly, but his eyes no longer had that worried expression from before, as though he had relaxed. At least, he knew that Donghuang Yu was alright.    

    

A faint smile appeared on the faces of the others as well. Perhaps they didn't even realize that they were already treating Donghuang Yu as their pillar while they were hiding it.    

    

"I heard that in the past few days, the four main bloodlines of the Di Family have been trying to win over people. They even sent someone to Xin Fang Garden, but no one has set foot in this place. It seems that we have been looked down upon." Fan Hua suddenly said, his tone revealing a trace of helplessness.    

    

However, he could understand that when they first arrived here, they were just casually running into a few Di Family s. They did not even put them in their eyes, let alone those Heaven's Pride members that were direct descendants of their bloodline.    

    

Even if they wanted to win over more people, they would try to win over more powerful islands. Those who lived among the people waiting to be tested at Qin Fang Garden would most likely not have many who were qualified to be won over by them.    

    

"Whether they can rope us in or not is their problem. We can do it ourselves." Wu Qiankun said with a calm gaze, as if he did not care about all this.    

    

Lu Jun glanced at Wu Qiankun. He could tell that Wu Qiankun was still holding back.    

    

As the number one Heaven Martial Ranking of the Martial Saint Palace and also a Heavenly Dao Body, he had exceptional talent, but was unable to obtain first place in the battles of trials. As a result, he had been waiting for a suitable opportunity to completely unleash his talent.    

    

"If they don't try to rope us in, perhaps they will be the ones to regret it." Lu Jun joked.    

    

Wu Qiankun also looked at Lu Jun, and lightly nodded, then said to everyone: "Everyone go cultivate, do not be disturbed by other miscellaneous matters."    

    

After speaking, he started walking towards the pavilion, as though he wanted to continue cultivating.    

    

Seeing this, the rest of the people did not linger and returned to their own rooms.    

    

Unknowingly, two days had passed by at lightning speed. The day of the Haotian Island's trial had finally arrived!    

    

On this day, the Haotian Island was especially lively. However, it was not because today was a day of trials, but rather, there was a high possibility that the four main bloodlines would erupt into a battle. At the same time, it was also the day where they could decide who would be the next successor to the throne.    

    

Was it Di Shifeng who continued to be the prince?    

    

Or was he being replaced by someone else?    

    

Many people were filled with anticipation. For the vast majority of people, it did not matter who would become the prince since they could not enjoy too much of the benefits. They were only looking forward to this competition amongst the younger generation of Di Family.    

    

Although there were frequent clashes between the younger generation, there had never been a true war.    

    

Back then, Di Shifeng had defeated Di Hao and the other two with a peerless appearance, but now, would he be able to maintain his victory?    

    

This was also something that many people were extremely concerned about.    

    

Haotian Island was extremely vast, and even if one stood in the air, one would not be able to see the end of it. It was as though a huge castle was standing on the ocean surface, majestic and magnificent.    

    

In the southern part of the Haotian Island, there was an incomparably tall building, its entire body seemed to be made of white jade, the sunlight shining on it was reflected with an extremely dazzling silver radiance, from afar, it looked like a Battle stage that reached the sky, connecting the heaven and earth.    

    

This Battle stage was created using the Haotian's supernatural power's magical equipment, the Demon Suppressing Terrace. It had a total of ninety-nine floors and a height of over a thousand and six hundred meters. The trials that the Heaven's Pride from foreign islands used to participate in always took place here.    

    

At that time, Haotian's supernatural power used this powerful magical tool, the Demon Suppressing Terrace, to kill countless demons. Unfortunately, the Demon Suppressing Terrace had lost its trace after the ancient battle, and it was unknown where it was scattered. Di Family had searched for countless years but still could not find it.    

    

The Demon Suppressing Terrace was the most powerful tool in the Haotian's supernatural power, and as a result, the people of the Di Family all believed in it. According to the ancient records, a Battle stage similar in shape to the Demon Suppressing Pagoda was built in the Haotian Island.    

    

The people of the Di Family called this Battle stage a Holy Platform Haotian, precisely to commemorate the achievements of the Haotian's supernatural power.    

    

Although Holy Platform Haotian did not have the terrifying power of the Demon Suppressing Terrace, which could suppress all the evil spirits in the world, they were still initially cast after consuming the strength of dozens of Di Family Saints.    

    

In addition to that, after the death of the Di Family Saints, their souls would fuse with the Holy Platform Haotian, causing it to continuously become stronger. They hoped to use this method to create the world's most top-notch holy weapon.    

    

It had to be said that this idea was extremely crazy and bold. However, it might actually be possible.    

    

Just how powerful were the thoughts of a saint? If the souls of countless saints were absorbed into a magic tool, it was obvious how terrifying that magic tool would be.    

    

It was bound to be earth-shattering, like the weeping of ghosts and gods!    

    

This could also be considered the last contribution a dead saint would make to the Di Family.
