Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled! Chapter 258: Chapter 251: Lamentations Of The Chosen One!

Wengg!!

The silhouette of a person with his hands clasped behind his back appeared vividly on the temporal vortex as it hummed behind the big red temple gate.

"He's here!" exclaimed a group of people as they waited with anxious looks on their face.

This was the underground cave where the entrance of the Eternal Maze was located.

Tap! Tap!

"Huh? Why is everyone here?"

Upon stepping out from the vortex that connected the two worlds together, Duan Li was surprised to see that a crowd had already gathered before him.

"Foolish boy! Do you know how long you have been gone? You had us worried!" exclaimed the Princ.i.p.al, Bian Tianyu with an agitated voice.

"What? It's probably two days at most.." Duan Li shrugged off his shoulder after he thought about it.

"It's almost a week." this time, it was the calm voice of the Vice-Princ.i.p.al, Zhang Xi who spoke.

Hearing this, Duan Li's raised his brows.

A week?

The time dilation this time around was quite stretched out it seems..

Does that mean that subsequent regions after this would have an even more dilated time lapse?

"Kid, I seriously thought that you needed a rescue or something, so I was thinking about sending a group of elite people to come and fetch you. Thankfully, that wasn't necessary." a majestic voice spoke out as he led a group of powerful cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm behind him, along with several familiar faces.

"Paying respects to your Majesty!" Duan Li swiftly cupped his fists together and bowed a little upon the approach of the other party.

It was the Emperor of the Jiu Empire, Jiu Xian Ping!

While in terms of status he was practically higher than the Emperor, it was still not an official matter.

In addition, even if his t.i.tle were to become official later on, he would still feel the need to show the proper etiquette when greeting the other party.

An Emperor is an Emperor after all. At least, he would be spared from having to kneel before the latter during any official ceremony or events.

The Emperor shook his head with a slight chuckle, "No need to be on ceremony. How was your adventure in the.. hmm?"

The Emperor suddenly stopped between his words as a frown was etched onto his forehead. He then inched closer towards Duan Li as he shot a piercing gaze onto the latter, as if scanning him.

"Your body's internal state.. " the Emperor said in a low voice after a while with a troubled expression.

Oh?

The Emperor seems to be able to detect that I am grievously injured..

Maybe soul sense?

'If that is so, then the other Nascent Soul realm experts here should be able to notice the same thing as well..'

Therefore Duan Li nodded as it was pointless to hide anyway.

"Yeah, most of my meridians and Qi pathways are ruptured. However, don't worry too much about it, I will recover fully in about 3 months." Duan Li replied with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Hearing this, the Emperor was a little bit doubtful.

3 months of recovery for meridians and Qi pathways broken beyond recognition?

What method of sorcery did he used?

Usually, people would wail in despair if such a situation were to occur to them, but this kid here..

The more the Emperor thought about it, the more incredulous his expression seems to become. However, upon recalling on what kind of person he was dealing with here, the Emperor's gaze soon landed onto an open area to the side, as if lamenting somehow.

Hais!

Main characters sure has it easy..

He believed that there were chosen ones in the world, and Duan Li was indubitably that very same person.

Still, this had caused him to be much more wary of the vortex before him than ever before.

"Was the trial really that difficult? As you are now, you have already seemed to reach the pinnacle stage of the Core Formation realm.. a whole realm from where you were before entering the maze.. but for even someone like you to turn into such a state.." the Emperor subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"We would have taken in quite the loss if we had sent them in to help him.. worse case, everyone would just die.. " Fei Jin Fang, the Supreme Knight of the Emperor, shook his head as he sighed out in relief while looking at the people behind them.

These people were the selected, best of the best from the younger generations which they were about to send in before.

"I agree. The amount of resources we have put to nurture these young elite troops of the Jiu Empire would be for naught. To think that the level of the trial would be so insane." Liu Sheng Juan, the most richest person in the Jiu Empire, nodded to the latter's statement as he cast a complicated frown towards the vortex.

The reason why these three Big Guns of the Jiu Empire said all these with utmost seriousness was because naturally, they knew full well of how overpowered Duan Li was.

After all, even a Pinnacle Nascent Soul realm expert, a renown member from the Dark Sect even, has fallen under his might.

Realizing that they might have misunderstood the whole situation, Duan Li quickly waved his hand, "Well, the trial wasn't actually that difficult, my current state is but from a different story.." he said as he scratched his head, feeling a little bit embarra.s.sed.

...

After he explained the event from the beginning to the end, the three big guns of the Empire had finally calmed down.

"So that was the case.." the Emperor said with his mouth twitching is disbelief.

He was actually fine all the way during the trial, only to messed up at the very end, hence arriving at his current state..

Haaa!

"Alright, we shall hear more of the story next time. For now, I think you should go back and rest at your residence court. All of your followers should be waiting for you too." the Emperor said.

He then added, "But before you go, make sure you remember this. I've set the date of your coronation as the Imperial Overseer of the Jiu Empire two days from now on, so it would be best if you could recover for as much as you can before then."

'Two days from now on? I'm not sure I'm really ready though..' Duan Li cupped his chin.

Liu Sheng Juan by the side then continued after the Emperor, "There are envoys from the other Empires around, and they would surely try to poke their noses on where it did not belong. Make sure to not get into too much trouble, if you can."

Huh? Why does it seems like he was looking at me as if looking at a troublemaker?

Duan Li could not help but to have some shades of grey on his face as he thought on what he did wrong.

Fei Jin Fang, the Supreme Knight then seemed to recall something as well before saying, "As for your ident.i.ty, you need not be too concern about it. We shall handle the more difficult stuff for you."

Hearing all these, Duan Li could only sighed out helplessly.

Hais!

I should have been more low profile..
