Chapter 1397: Emperor Wen
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
An elder wearing a Confucius robe walked out of a cottage. He didn’t have any forces. Instead, he looked very simple and down-to-earth.
He was the grandfather of the Saint Lady, Nalan Mo.
Everyone in Kunlun’s Field knew about that name, as he had been one of the nine emperors eight hundred years ago, Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen was more than three thousand years old eight hundred years ago. He was arguably the oldest person in Kunlun’s Field.
Emperor Wen looked like an elder who was around seventy years ago. He was gentle and solemn. He looked to the Saint Lady who was standing near him and said, “Martial Way prospered in the past eight hundred years, and ten people became supreme saints, led by the empress. They’re strong enough to replace the previous nine emperors. I’ll be laughed at if I go interfere with the affairs among the young people.”
The Saint Lady smiled and said, “The ten people you mentioned are not a thousand years old, but only you would consider them young people.”
Emperor Wen smiled kindly like a normal old person. “What’re you here for, my granddaughter?”
The Saint Lady said, “The crown prince of Sacred Central Empire showed up, conquered Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, and killed Lingxiao Heavenly King and Blue Moon Ancestor.”
Emperor Wen smiled. “Nothing to be surprised about. He’s just a crown prince, not Emperor Ming himself. Are you asking me to deal with a child? I’m definitely not going.”

Saint Lady rolled her eyes and said, “I’m certainly not asking you to attack him. Something strange happened. When they were fighting Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, a terrific person sealed Tianji and concealed the entire thing from the Heaven and Earth Altar. Uncle said that person’s mind power is stronger than that of the leader of Immortal Palace.”
“Are you suspecting me?” Emperor Wen could tell what Saint Lady was thinking about.
Saint Lady squinted her eyes and said, “Who else except for you has better mind power than the leader of Immortal Temple?”
Emperor Wen said, “There’re many powerful beings that you’ve never learned of. Even I don’t know everything about Kunlun’s Field, not to mention you. I can tell you for sure that I had nothing to do with it.”
“How come…”
The Saint Lady frowned and started to ponder.
Meanwhile, the branches of the legendary peach tree shook, and traces of saint light turned this place into a wonderland.
The Saint Lady bowed at the legendary peach tree and said, “Grandpa Legendary Peach.”
A hoarse voice came from the legendary peach tree. “It’s Seven-color Begonia. I can sense her forces.”
“Seven-color Begonia?”
The Saint Lady looked more confused.
Obviously, Emperor Wen knew much more than the Saint Lady. He asked, “I heard that Granny Begonia has been staying in the sword pavilion the entire time. How come she walked out of the sword pavilion?”
Legendary Peach Tree said, “She owed an ancestor of Zhang family for something that happened hundreds of thousands of years ago, and then, she became the protector of Zhang family, and she was named Begonia Spiritual Ancestor. As for me, I was born in the same era as her, but I’m the protector of Chi family.”
“I always thought the guarding spirit race of Sacred Central Empire was also a myth. Can’t believe they actually exist.”
The Saint Lady felt that a door to a new world had been opened to her. She always thought that she already knew all the secrets of the world, but now, she realized how little she actually knew.
Umm?
Emperor Wen seemed to have sensed something. He looked up at the sky.
Whoosh!
A trace of seven-color light spread across the space, followed by a dimming fragrance.
A silver-haired old woman in red walked out of the red light. She looked very old and hunchbacked, and her skin was also wrinkled. It seemed that she was about to die.
Emperor Wen smiled. “No wonder you’re Begonia Spiritual Ancestor. You can break my mind power heaven and land and get it with no problem.”
The Saint Lady pouted, as she was seeing someone who was as ancient as Legendary Peach. A creature like that was no different from a living fossil.
Granny Begonia walked to Emperor Wen and said, “That girl from Chi family has already left her Star Soul God Constellation and become a God. Peach, Nalan Mo, should we also join and comprehend the way to become Gods?”
Emperor Wen looked to the sky, and he saw thirty-three gleaming stars.
Any creature with strong enough mind power could see the thirty-three stars being connected, which formed the shape of Empress Chi Yao.
That was Empress Chi Yao’s Star Soul God Constellation.
Every creature that had become a God would leave a Star Soul God Constellation like that in the universe.
The godly light coming from Star Soul God Constellation shone upon Kunlun’s Field and made the spiritual Qi in Kunlun’s Field thicker. Her Star Soul God Constellation was also protecting Kunlun’s Field.
The light from Star Soul God Constellation could spread to astral domains that were far away so that all the worlds in the universe could know that a God had been born.
Emperor Wen said, “Danqing, you should leave now. Don’t let anyone know what’s going to happen here.”
The Saint Lady nodded and walked out.
“Let me ask two more people to join us.”
Granny Begonia reached out her hand, and a ripple showed up around her finger. She then reached into the space.
The leader of Earth God Temple, ‘Living Bodhisattva,’ was an old monk that was gleaming with golden Buddha light. He was sitting in a holy palace, but then, he was awakened by an enormous power.
“Who’s that?”
Living Bodhisattva looked up, and he saw a hand diving toward him.
As he chanted, a holy shadow of Buddha emerged behind him. It became larger and larger, three hundred feet tall, three thousand hundred feet tall, thirty thousand feet tall…
In the end, the golden Buddha shadow was one hundred thousand feet tall.
However, the golden Buddha shadow was crushed bit by bit by that huge hand.
Living Bodhisattva sighed and stopped resisting. He chanted, “Amitabha.”
In the next moment, Living Bodhisattva was dragged to the mind power heaven and earth of Emperor Wen by Granny Begonia. He sat on a lotus stand like a real Buddha in the secular world.
Granny Begonia then dragged another person into the mind power heaven and earth.
He was wearing black armor and holding a heavy sword like a God of War. The hostility coming out of him formed a blood-red cloud.
He was the leader of the Ministry of War, Chaos General, who was also the master of Chaotic World Mountain.
Both Living Bodhisattva and Chaos General were prominent beings. Though they were shocked to see Granny Begonia, Legendary Peach Tree, and Emperor Wen, they still remained calm.
Living Bodhisattva and Chaos General stood in Buddha light and saint light, respectively, and said, “Emperor Wen.”
They only knew Emperor Wen out of the three of them.
Emperor Wen stroked his beard and said, “You’ve invited both the supreme saints from the imperial government. Do you want them to hold us all up, Granny Begonia?”
Granny Begonia looked calm and said, “Supreme saints should pursue what supreme saints are destined to pursue. There’s nothing good about interfering with the battles among the youngsters, and besides, there’ll only be new supreme saints born from the youngsters after they battle.”
“What you said makes sense. Let’s start discussing ideas!”
It was a once in a lifetime chance to discuss ideas with Emperor Wen, so Living Bodhisattva and Chaos General walked toward them.
Granny Begonia shot them a glance and said, “You guys aren’t strong enough to discuss ideas with us yet. Just stand aside and watch. You’ll benefit a lot from it.”
Living Bodhisattva and Chaos General gave each other a look. They weren’t offended by it at all, and they walked back to the edge.
…
Tiantai Continent.
Qin Yutong gave Zhang Ruochen a list which documented the large amount of resources they’d gained after conquering Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion.
After checking the list, Zhang Ruochen said, “Give the top-tier saint weapons to Guarding Dragon Pavilion. As for the others, distribute them based on military credits.”
Almost all the weapons held by Guarding Dragon Pavilion were crushed by Blue Sky Pagoda, so naturally, Zhang Ruochen needed to give them the best saint weapons.
Qin Yutong walked out, and then, Han Qiu showed up and put her hands on Zhang Ruochen’s shoulders. She smiled and said, “Refining resources are the best thing to win people over with, regardless of the powers you belong to. Are you really giving such an important task to her instead of me? I can definitely do a better job.”
“Aren’t you going to the Fiery Domain to release Ghost King Shenchu?”
Zhang Ruochen then looked out from the camp, smiled and said, “The person I was waiting for is here now!”
Yan Kaixuan walked over rapidly. He said, stressed, “Your highness, a monk is waiting outside to see you. He said he’s Death Zen Elder. I reckon he’s a hostile person.”
