Chapter 1622: Each Has Their Own Path (2)

Editor: Atlas Studios

He wore a purple-gold robe that gently swayed in the residual waves of lightning and fire, as if dragons and phoenixes danced among the flowing fabric, showcasing his n.o.bility and mystery.

On his head rested a purple-gold crown adorned with gemstones, intricately carved with dragons and phoenixes, lifelike and awe-inspiring.

The aura emanating from his brows revealed an extraordinary presence that could not be overlooked.

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and stepped forward.

His footsteps were steady and powerful, seeming to tread upon the very rhythm of time itself.

Heaven and earth s.h.i.+fted their colors, and the winds and clouds surged wildly.

The lightning and fire here swayed.

As he took several steps forward, his figure entered the sword furnace.

He appeared before the two sword embryos

The sword embryos emitted a humming sound.

They emitted a sharp aura.

However, the young man remained unfazed. His gaze was deep and bright, as if he could perceive all things in the world, yet it carried an air of indifference and chill as he looked at the two sword embryos and spoke softly.

“In this furnace, you both not only await your final formation, but every transformation of the metal within this process serves as a trial of your minds.”

“This furnace is like a cauldron, containing the essence of heaven and earth; your minds are like mirrors, reflecting the vastness of the universe.”

As the youth finished speaking, the flames in the furnace seemed to be even more exuberant. Waves of powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emitted from the furnace, causing the entire s.p.a.ce to tremble.

Under the baptism of this power, the nourishment received by the two sword embryos became even greater.

“This opportunity is very good.”

The young man’s voice was calm, yet it carried an undertone of authority.

“But history cannot be altered, and events cannot be replaced. Everything that has happened, whether this history is a mirror image or not, cannot be changed in the slightest!”

“I allow you to ride the waves of history, to gain opportunities as the current flows.”

“However, if you harbor any thoughts of altering history, I will personally erase you, stripping you of your qualifications in this fourth realm.”

“Remember, maintain order!”

Qianjun and Piyi fell silent for a few breaths when they heard this before emitting a sword hum that contained obedience.

They could tell who the person was and the path he was taking.

This was a matter of allegiance and trade.

Their choice was to uphold order anyway, so there was no conflict.

The young man’s figure became blurry, and he eventually left the sword furnace, reappearing outside the raging flames.

There, his follower was waiting.

Seeing the youth appear, the follower lowered his head and followed behind.

The two of them walked out of the area where the sword furnace was located and into the immortal palace.

On the way, all the Immortal Palace cultivators who saw this youth had respectful expressions as they greeted him.

“Greetings, True Monarch.”

In the Aurora Immortal Palace, the t.i.tle of ‘True Monarch’ was exclusive to the four direct disciples of the Aurora Immortal Lord.

This t.i.tle carried a unique prestige.

While three of the disciples were outside, the only one remaining in the Aurora Immortal Palace was the fourth disciple!

This young man was indeed the fourth disciple of the Aurora Immortal Lord. Although his ident.i.ty and status seemed to be just below that of the young lord, in the hearts of the people, he held an even higher regard.

Thus, the fourth True Monarch, after smiling in response to everyone, led his follower back to his own True Monarch Hall.

The moment he stepped in, the follower took a deep breath and respectfully spoke.

“Sir, Qianjun and Piyi?”

“They are upholding order.”

The youth calmly spoke.

The follower wasn’t too surprised.

His true ident.i.ty was Zhou Zhengli!

After coming to the fourth realm, he was actually the first to recognize Star Ring’s ident.i.ty. This was because not only did the two of them come from the Eastern Starfield, but they also chose the same path.

They wanted to maintain the history of this fourth realm and allow this history to progress normally.

However, to maximize the benefits gained from this process, they needed rebels to suppress.

Maintaining order to perfect their Ordinance.

‘Qianjun and Piyi are easy to find, but Xie Lingzi and Li Mengtu are hidden quite deeply… and as for Jiang Fan and Yuanshan Su, there are currently no leads.’

Zhou Zhengli looked at Star Ring.

Star Ring, who had taken the ident.i.ty of the fourth True Monarch, had a calm expression. He looked at the sky outside the hall and calmly spoke.

“In this period of history, there are two people who are the focus.”

“One is the Immortal Lord, and the other is his son.”

“Those who wish to change history will surely focus on them.”

“The former can’t be touched, so we should focus our efforts on that young lord.”

“He is like bait, destined to attract many fish, gathering towards him…”

“For example, the daughter of the Nine Sh.o.r.es Immortal Lord.”

“There’s also that heaven’s chosen Li who challenged him.”

“Even the study companion.”

Star Ring slowly spoke.

Zhou Zhengli fell into deep thought. A smile appeared on his face and he was about to speak.

Star Ring shook his head.

“I actually don’t care about any of them, but there’s someone you’ve neglected, and so had I.”

“It was only when this person made a move in the third realm and ruined one of my arrangements that he entered my eyes.”

“I wonder what his ident.i.ty is in this fourth realm?”

…

Six hours pa.s.sed.

At the Thunder Punishment Cliff, the lightning that surrounded the heavens and the earth was incredibly punctual, as if fearing even a moment’s delay might cause misunderstanding.

In an instant, it dissipated.

The restraints binding Xu Qing in midair also vanished in that moment, and he stumbled slightly before landing on the ground.

He stood in front of Zhong Chi.

His clothes were tattered, and his injuries appeared quite severe; however, these were merely superficial wounds, looking more exaggerated than they actually were.

Zhong Chi put on a pained expression and hurriedly helped his young lord put on the clothes he brought.

After that, he spoke in a low voice.

“Young Lord, heaven’s chosen Li made a bold statement in the arena. He said that such an unfair victory can wait for you to recover before going.”

“Also, that fox demon beauty is also there…”

When Xu Qing heard this, he calmly spoke.

“There’s no need. I’ll go now!”

As he spoke, he took a step forward.

Zhong Chi shook his head inwardly, thinking that this fellow was indeed a flirt; even after such punishment, he still wanted to rush over at the mention of a beauty.

Though he thought this in his heart, the words that came out of his mouth carried a different tone.

“Young Lord is mighty, wise, and exceptionally talented; his courage is astonis.h.i.+ng, and his immortal arts are profound.”

“In the future, when the Young Lord ascends the throne, he will surely bring prosperity to the star ring, ensuring the people live in peace and harmony, ushering in an eternal era of tranquility and stability.”

As these words reached Xu Qing’s ears, he couldn’t help but pause in his tracks and glance back at Zhong Chi.

Zhong Chi blinked, secretly wondering if Xu Qing was dissatisfied with hearing these familiar praises.

With a sigh, he reflected on the character he inhabited, known for his knack for flattery, which he found challenging. His mind raced, and he spoke again.

“Although the Young Lord has yet to voice his thoughts, the intent in his eyes is clear to me; I am deeply moved!”

“Thanks to your generous praise and kindness, I am immensely grateful and will do my utmost to serve you. However, I must express a heartfelt sentiment: even with your grievous injuries, you still intend to fight to fulfill your promise. Such bravery indeed commands respect far and wide, s.h.i.+ning like the stars, truly a hero of this age!”

Xu Qing no longer bothered with him. He retracted his gaze and his body swayed…

He walked out of the Thunder Punishment Cliff.

When he appeared, he was already in the Immortal Palace.

Gazing into the distance, the sky was brilliant, and all was harmonious. The sky bore the sun and moon, and there was no crimson aurora.

A prosperous scene was reflected in his eyes.

“This is the s.p.a.cetime of the Aurora Immortal Palace in the past!”
