Master of the Demon Emperor

Under the guidance of Duan Chengjian, Su Yie reached the edge of the world and chose a serene floating island. Besides a palace in the center, there were several pavilions and courtyard houses surrounded by bamboo groves, which looked like a green ocean and were extremely picturesque.

After Duan Chengjian left, Su Yie settled into one of the courtyard houses.

That day, just after the entrance examination for the sect had concluded, a significant piece of news spread.

The Dustblade Sect had added a new Supreme Elder, only revealing his surname as Su.

The newly admitted disciples were incredibly excited and instantly thought of Su Yie, especially since he was personally welcomed into the sect by the sect leader.

"Is it true? Did this Supreme Elder participate in the entrance examination?"

"Ridiculous, don't Supreme Elders consider their accomplishments?"

"Becoming a Supreme Elder right after joining the sect? How arrogant is that?"

"Bullshit, how could it be that new disciple?"

"It's true, the sect leader personally escorted him inside!"

The matter of the new Supreme Elder caused a major stir, even sparking a heated argument among the new and old disciples.

Xia Tianyi was also brought to the same floating island where Su Yie was staying, led personally by his mentor, Former Deacon.

However, Xia Tianyi did not want to live with Su Yie. He wanted to follow the Former Deacon.

He came to the Dustblade Sect to cultivate, and though Su Yie was powerful, he also had his own cultivation routine, so he chose to follow the Former Deacon, aiming to climb the ranks step by step.

Su Yie did not insist but gave the Former Deacon a look, who immediately understood and left with Xia Tianyi.

From their interaction, one would think Xia Tianyi was the mentor if they didn't know better.

No sooner had they left when an elder arrived with ten male and ten female disciples.

"From today onwards, you must serve the Supreme Elder well, and if there are any slip-ups, you will be expelled from the Dustblade Sect!"

The elder spoke coldly, and once finished, he turned and walked towards the courtyard house with a smile plastered on his face, saying, "Senior Su, if you need anything, feel free to command them."

"Hmm."

A grunt from Su Yie came from inside the house, and the elder, not taking offense, promptly left.

Despite being much older than Su Yie, no one would mock him for calling Su Yie "Senior" as strength was what truly mattered.

The twenty disciples stood on the open ground outside the courtyard house, looking at each other with a touch of bewilderment.

"First, find rooms for yourselves to settle in. If I need something, I will call you."

Su Yie's voice emanated from inside the house, indifferent and seemingly heartless, yet it allowed the disciples to breathe a sigh of relief.

They bowed towards the courtyard house and then departed.

Inside the house, Su Yie took out the Small World of the Southern Heavens and scanned the situation inside with his Divine Sense.

After ensuring the Chaos beasts were living comfortably, he safely stored the Small World of the Southern Heavens and then sat cross-legged on the bed starting his cultivation.

Now that he had a place to settle, he planned to work on increasing his cultivation.

Though the Wan Qiu Family had suffered a great loss, the issue seemed unsettled, and to prevent the Chaos Imperial Clan from troubling him again, he needed to grow stronger.

While absorbing Qi, he focused on the list of names in his mind, considering he could still invite two more beings into the sect.

After hesitating for so many days, it was time to make a decision.

Emperor Su invited Nine Palaces Supreme to join Emperor Su's Sect!

Emperor Su invited Qin Emperor Shen Taidou to join Emperor Su's Sect!

Yin Yang God Shaker: Yo, Nine Palaces Supreme has also come.

Black Tiger Emperor: A newcomer!

Li Huahun: Have you guys heard about the Holy Realm Refinement? Hey, Godly Ancestor, can you open a back door for us?

Long Su of Divine Honor: There's no square without rules, how can there be a back door?

Dugu Heavenly Clan: Eh? Shen Taidou? The legendary Shen Taidou who caused chaos in the great ways with a zither?

Nine Palaces Supreme: Yin Yang God Shaker! What do you think you're doing, you thief?

Supreme Dragon Shaking: Don't open the back door? Is there no sentiment of kinship between sect members? Sect leader, erase him!

...

The invitation to Nine Palaces Supreme was because the name felt domineering.

As for inviting Qin Emperor Shen Taidou, it was purely out of boredom.

When there was nothing else to do, they would have Shen Taidou play a tune for them.

However, Nine Palaces Supreme did give him a surprise, actually knowing Yin Yang God Shaker.

From his tone, his power should not be inferior to Yin Yang God Shaker, otherwise how dare he be so arrogant?

Su Yie smiled, cultivating while waiting for the two newcomers to hand over the sect resources.

Before long.

Nine Palaces Supreme handed over the sect resources, a scroll of Divine Skills; Su Yie glanced at it, uninterested.

Shen Taidou, on the other hand, submitted a guqin, which made Su Yie even less interested.

His favor toward the two newcomers instantly plummeted.

...

Within a dimly lit great hall, without a top, above which darkness stretched, clusters of dark greenish flames floated, bringing some light to the great hall.

Below, a hundred-step stone staircase connected to a high platform, on which a figure sat on a throne.

He was enveloped in black mist, dressed in a black robe marked with strange blood patterns, his face square, and under bushy eyebrows, his eyes were tightly shut with three black lines on his brow, shaped like a trident, his withered hair hanging loose, reaching the ground.

He sat there, motionless, yet exuding an immortal majestic presence.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, stars twinkling within, as if hiding two galaxies.

"Come in."

He did not open his mouth, but his voice echoed within the great hall, reverberations unending.

Tap!

A tall man in black armor appeared out of nowhere inside the hall, kneeling. His body was robust, and even while kneeling, he stood five zhang tall, his neck covered with various scars; he looked up, his eyes blood-red, and said in a resonant voice, "Imperial God, Wan Qiuhai has mysteriously fallen, and the Chaotic Divine Army of the Wan Qiu Family has been annihilated in the Divine Shelter Universe."

Upon hearing this, the being known as Imperial God narrowed his eyes.

From his high position, he looked down at the man in black armor and asked, "The reason."

"According to my investigation, a descendant of Wan Qiuhai ventured to Hongmeng without authorization, disappeared for tens of thousands of years, and was killed by the Celestial Authority Demon Star. Wan Qiuhai then repeatedly sent people to seek revenge, eventually moving a Grand World to Chaos, located within the Divine Shelter Universe. Had it not been for Long Su of Divine Honor intervening, the Divine Shelter Universe could have been destroyed by their battle," said the black armor man with a deep voice, having thoroughly investigated the course of events in such a short time; his power was undoubtedly immense.

Imperial God, expressionless, said, "Wan Qiu Family's ranking should be lowered, halve the domains they control."

With just one sentence, he condemned the Wan Qiu Family to an abyss.

"What's the origin of the Celestial Authority Demon Star?"

Facing Imperial God's inquiry, the man in black armor frowned and hesitated, "I can't find out, his fate is odd, as if he has no past or future, but he's still very weak. If found, he can be easily eradicated."

"Hmm, look into it, but don't kill him for now."

Imperial God nodded slightly, then his expression turned serious, he said meaningfully, "Hei Yu, how goes your cultivation recently, and how confident are you about the Holy Chess Game?"

Hei Yu!

That was the name of the man in black armor, he pondered, "Two parts."

With a bang!

Hei Yu was struck by an invisible colossal force, directly knocked out of the hall; his form shot away like an arrow, vanishing in an instant.

"Useless!"

In the shadowy great hall echoed the slightly angry cold snort of Imperial God, clearly dissatisfied.
