Chapter 739: Chapter 767: Forming an Alliance with the Wayless Sect Chapter 739: Chapter 767: Forming an Alliance with the Wayless Sect Wansheng Heavenly City, within a palace hall.
Li Cheng was here, meeting alone with the ruler of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty.
The two shared the same face, with remarkably similar demeanors as well.
However, the ruler of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty exuded a more vast and majestic aura than Li Cheng.
“Li, Li Cheng, right? I, Li Cheng, on behalf of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, have come to congratulate you on successfully establishing your own dynasty,” said the Emperor of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty with a chuckle, hands clasped behind his back.
“You… I… never mind, let’s use different names for each other. You’re Li Cheng, and I’m also Li Cheng—it sounds too strange to hear it like this,” Li Cheng said with extreme helplessness, waving his hand dismissively.
“What you’re saying… when I was called Li Cheng, you hadn’t even developed a sense of self. I don’t mind, why do you?”
...
“Regardless, I just do,” responded Li Cheng firmly.
“Alright then, since that’s the case, I shall address you as, um, the Divine Emperor of the Grand Immortal Dynasty, and you can call me the Tang Emperor,” proposed the Emperor.
“That’s acceptable,” Li Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and promptly agreed.
“Look at you, someone of your stature, and you’re still bothered by a name,” the Emperor of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty said, glancing at Li Cheng indifferently.
That’s what he said on the surface,
but deep down, he was filled with immense emotion.
He would never have imagined that a city from his past could have come this far.
“A name is indeed important. Now, Tang Emperor, your visit today is not just to offer congratulations, is it?” Li Cheng inquired.
“Indeed, my visit could not possibly be just for one single matter. Besides congratulating you, there is another thing I wish to tell you. I hope that for the time being, you’ll govern your domain well and avoid offending others on a large scale. Do you understand?” the Emperor said, his face turning serious as he looked at Li Cheng, speaking word by word.
“Huh? What does that mean?” Li Cheng was confused.
Hearing this,
sigh.
The Emperor sighed softly, his expression a mix of helplessness and weariness.
He glanced around the palace hall,
finally finding a chair.
He quickly walked over it in a few strides and took a seat.
Only then did he look back at Li Cheng.
“Sigh, in any case, just do as I say. Your battle to establish the dynasty was not as simple as you thought. Otherwise, why do you think no one from my Great Tang came to aid you during the critical battle?”
“A mere Da Luo, how many do we have within my Great Tang?”
“I blocked the other major states from entering the East Divine State for your sake, leading the main forces to intercept them. But you, you have offended far too many people. A single battle to establish your dynasty even drew out the elder races of the Demon Race from other major states.”
“It was only because of your Respected Master’s message that those people hesitated, fearing to act rashly, that they finally gave up,” the Emperor could hardly believe it.
A battle to establish a dynasty managed to involve so much.
“This… this…” Li Cheng touched his head, puzzled.
What ancient tribes of the Demon Race? While establishing his dynasty, he hadn’t deliberately offended the Demon Race or anything.
Clearly, they were targeting his elder martial brother.
It was just that he hadn’t expected this Emperor of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty to take the blame.
“Divine Emperor, for the time being, rest up. We’ll talk about campaigns later,” said the Emperor, stressing his words.
He was genuinely afraid that Li Cheng might stir up some new trouble.
Although his Great Tang Immortal Dynasty was strong, facing so many forces at once was still a challenge.
“I understand, I understand. You needn’t worry, Tang Emperor,” Li Cheng hastily reassured.
He hadn’t even considered waging war against anyone externally in the near future.
“As long as you understand, that’s good. However, do you want to form an alliance with me?”
The Emperor looked at Li Cheng intently and asked.
“What? An alliance? Aren’t the Grand Immortal Dynasty and the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty already allies?”
Li Cheng was momentarily puzzled.
“Us? Of course, we are, but your Grand Immortal Dynasty’s foundation is somewhat lacking. I wish to elevate it slightly by forming an alliance between your sect and my Immortal Dynasty.”
The Emperor spoke in such a manner.
As soon as he uttered these words,
Li Cheng was stunned.
An alliance between his sect and the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty?
Was there a need for that?
“Rest assured, in my Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, there are Saints present. An alliance with your sect would only be a union of strong forces.”
The Emperor said with utmost seriousness.
How could there not be Saints behind him, when he had crafted the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty to this extent?
“In that case… I am not in a position to make such a decision.”
Li Cheng pondered for a moment and shook his head.
He was just a minor disciple of his Respected Master; how could he possibly make such a decision?
“Then you take me to see your Respected Master, and let me discuss it with him personally; that should be possible, right?”
Left with no other choice, the Emperor could only respond in such a way.
“It’s possible, but I’m currently very busy. The Grand Immortal Dynasty has only recently been established, and I simply can’t spare the time to take you there.”
Li Cheng declined, shaking his head.
This was not an intentional refusal.
It was simply the truth.
The Grand Immortal Dynasty was in a phase of reconstruction, and he, as the Emperor, had to devote all his effort to manage everything; he had no time for other affairs.
“That’s simple.”
The Emperor smiled lightly.
He stretched out his hand and tapped in the void.
Immediately, a Spatial Passage coalesced into being.
The Emperor’s formidable strength was without question.
In the Wansheng Heavenly City, where Da Luo had laid down Formations, it was a trivial matter for him to open a Spatial Passage.
The Emperor was at least a Da Luo being.
Li Cheng was unsurprised; he had long known about the Emperor’s powerful strength, so he found it quite normal.
His gaze landed on the Spatial Passage, curious to see what the Emperor intended to do.
In his line of sight,
Two figures walked out from the Spatial Passage.
One was the Eight Trigrams figure that Li Cheng had seen before.
The other was a man dressed in armor, girded with a treasured sword, exuding a valiant aura, his entire being wrapped in the air of a hundred battles.
“Subject Zhuge Wuming, pays his respects to Your Majesty.”
“General Han Yu, pays his respects to Your Majesty.”
As soon as the two emerged from the passage, they immediately saluted the Emperor.
“Dispense with the formalities. Divine Emperor, you see, these two men, one is the Prime Minister of my Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, the other the Great General of my Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, one for civil affairs, one for military. Leaving them here to assist you with the affairs of your Grand Immortal Dynasty should be sufficient, right?”
The Emperor said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this,
Li Cheng’s pupils contracted; he took a deep look at the two men.
Of course, he was familiar with them.
The Prime Minister of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty held power second only to the Emperor himself, handling all the political affairs of the entire Immortal Dynasty. It could be nearly said that half the reason for the Immortal Dynasty’s prosperity had been the Prime Minister’s contribution.
The Great General of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, an entity famed for his divine strategizing. It was rumored that when the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty had just achieved Ascension, it had been this man who skillfully directed the troops, engaging in battles all around and laying the fierce reputation of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty.
Rumors also said he had once led a group of Mortal soldiers, using military Formations to slay immortals, truly reaching the level where a Mortal could stand shoulder to shoulder with gods.
With the help of these two men, his Grand Immortal Dynasty wouldn’t need his personal efforts at all.
Li Cheng couldn’t help but think…
