Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 50 News
Inside the main hall, Di Yi sat in the main seat, with Zi Qian standing beside him, while the half-human wolf boy he had bought from the slave market stood below.

The boy appeared very reserved and fearful.

After becoming a slave, he endured countless tortures. If he was not careful, he would be whipped. He had an instinctive fear of humans other than slaves.

"What's your name?"

Upon hearing the voice, the boy looked up at the figure in black robes, and like his fellow clansmen who had been bought before, he knelt down and prostrated himself, replying, "Replying to Master, this servant's name is A-Le."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gentle force lift him up from the ground, and he stood there stunned.

The man in black robes who had been sitting down now stood up and looked at him with great interest.

"Ah Le, I bought you from the slave market because I value your martial arts talent. I will pass on my skills and techniques to you. From now on, your life is mine."

A glint of light gradually appeared in Ah Le's bewildered eyes, and he knelt down again.

"A-Le greets Master."

He was captured and imprisoned at a very young age and raised as a slave. He didn't know much about human relationships and social customs, only about them from the words of the guests. Only his master would pass on his skills and martial arts techniques.

When Di Yi said he would pass on his skills and martial arts techniques to him, he subconsciously referred to Di Yi as his master.

Ziqian's expression was somewhat strange as she looked at the wooden-faced boy below, truly unable to understand what the adults valued in him.

Di Yi was secretly thrilled. This was Ah Le, a man known as unkillable, a born assassin.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Technique, so he couldn't replicate Ah Le's configuration from the original timeline. However, he did have the Four Symbols Heaven-Reaching Technique, which was of a higher grade than the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Technique.

The Nine Revolutions Life and Death Technique is said to enable transformations through repeated cycles of life and death, but frankly speaking, it is not a cultivation method suitable for humans; it was specifically prepared for the Phoenix Clan.

Ah Le was able to master the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Technique by relying on his amazing talent and perseverance, turning the impossible into the possible.

With the Four Symbols Heavenly Technique of a higher grade available, Emperor Yi believed that A-Le's achievements would not be inferior to those of the original timeline.

Although the Four Symbols Heavenly Technique only has the first four levels, one can switch cultivation methods when reaching the Fish-Dragon Realm. Even if one cannot find a subsequent cultivation method, one can switch to cultivating the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving.

Of the six extraordinary books of the Kunlun Realm, the Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings created by the Heavenly Demon are undoubtedly the most suitable cultivation method for assassins.

After settling Ah Le down at the Qianlong Hall branch, it was already dark.

There is no moon tonight, and the entire royal city is shrouded in darkness.

In the middle of the night, a dark shadow descended from the sky and landed on the roof of the branch headquarters.

The shadowy figure sensed the location carefully and found its target. Just as it was about to head there, it suddenly stopped.

"not good."

The shadowy figure quickly dodged, but a sharp sword aura struck his back, causing intense pain.

"How is that possible? When did you find me?"

The dark figure stepped into the void, retreating dozens of feet away, an incredulous expression on his face. He was none other than a martial arts legend at the Heavenly Realm.

A swordsman with a jade-like face and black robes emerged from the darkness, holding a long sword, and calmly looked at the newcomer.

"I sensed someone was spying on me in the martial arts market during the day, but I didn't expect you to actually dare to come to my door."

Di Yi carefully examined the dark figure and said, "The leader of the Underworld Sect's branch in Yunwu County?"

The figure in black remained calm even after his identity was guessed, and said coldly, "Well done, Master of the Hidden Dragon Hall. I underestimated you. We'll meet again another day."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Since we're already here, why rush to leave?"

Emperor Yi took a step forward, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth gathered and poured into the long sword in his hand. He slashed the sword in the direction where the black shadow had retreated, and the sword energy transformed into a blazing flame that was dozens of feet long, like a red sun illuminating half of Yunwu Royal City.

It was a fragmented sword technique obtained from the Crimson Cloud Sect, the Blazing Fire Sword Art.

Seeing that he was relentless, the shadowy figure was furious. Assassins are supposed to retreat immediately if they miss their target, but that doesn't mean that this martial arts legend at the Heavenly Realm doesn't have powerful combat strength.

On the contrary, he was extremely powerful, with his cultivation reaching the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm, making him one of the top experts among the heretical sects of Yunwu County.

The shadowy figure turned around and unleashed a powerful palm strike. The palm print was thirty feet in size, radiating a dark blue light, and possessed immense power.

The sword light and the palm print collided, and the palm print was cleaved apart.

The shadowy figure was startled by what he saw, gaining a deeper understanding of the strength of this Hidden Dragon Hall Master. Seeing him unleash two more sword strikes, the flames blazing in the sky, displaying unparalleled dominance, the shadowy figure immediately abandoned any intention of competing with him.

Having withstood the residual force of the first sword light, he quickly fled and disappeared into the night of Yunwu Royal City.

The clash between martial arts legends at the Heavenly Realm was so powerful that it shook the entire city.

Di Yi did not continue the pursuit. The leader of the Underworld Gate might not have come specifically to kill him. The Hidden Dragon Hall is now thriving and its reputation has spread throughout the entire Yunwu Kingdom. The Black Market naturally needs to find out exactly how strong he is.

Of course, for the assassins of the Underworld Sect, if he were too weak, killing him would be a simple matter of one palm strike.

Before long, two powerful auras appeared near Di Yi.

One of them is Liu Chuanshen, the owner of Wushi Money Shop in Yunwu County.

The other was Wan Chengzhong, the Grand Commander of the Royal Guard and the top military figure in Yunwu County.

Liu Chuanshen was a middle-aged man who looked very amiable, showing no trace of the majesty of a martial arts legend, as he landed on the long street.

"Master Yi, have you been able to determine who attacked you?"

Di Yi returned his sword to its sheath and said calmly, "The Burial Yin Palm Technique is a unique skill of the Underworld Sect. The one who used it must be the leader of the Underworld Sect."

"It was him?" Liu Chuanshen caught a glimpse of the three sword lights that descended like heavenly fire from afar. He knew that if he were to face them, he would most likely be unable to withstand them. However, he did not expect that the one fighting against him was the leader of the Underworld Sect who was in the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm.

If three swords can defeat a mid-stage Heavenly Realm cultivator, then what kind of strength does this seemingly young Hidden Dragon Hall Master possess?
Liu Chuanshen couldn't gauge Liu's true strength and marked him as someone not to be trifled with.

Wan Chengzhong was a very burly man, born into the Barbarian Elephant Half-Human race, and extremely powerful. If it weren't for the kindness shown to him by the Prince of Yunwu, he wouldn't have been appointed as the commander of the Imperial Guard.

Unlike Liu Chuanshen, he did not step forward. He merely glanced at Di Yi from afar before leaving on his own.

Fighting in the streets is forbidden within the royal city, but if two martial arts legends at the Heavenly Realm are locked in combat, even the royal city's imperial guards cannot intervene. After their conversation, Liu Chuanshen took his leave.

When Di Yi returned to the courtyard, Zi Qian and the four elders were already waiting there, with A Le beside them.

"My lord, how are you?"

Ziqian anxiously stepped forward, vaguely sensing that the leader of the Underworld Gate would come looking for her, which was related to her, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"With his strength, he can't hurt me."

Di Yi smiled faintly, "With tonight's battle, the Hidden Dragon Hall has finally gained a firm foothold in Yunwu Royal City."

Not long after, a palace attendant delivered something.

It was an invitation personally written by Prince Yunwu, inviting him to attend the Winter Solstice Heaven Worship Ceremony three days later.

The winter solstice ceremony to worship the heavens is a major annual event in the Kunlun region.

Legend has it that only on the winter solstice each year will the gates of the divine realm open, bestowing divine marks upon all living beings.

On this day, both cities and villages offer sacrifices to the gods in order to obtain the mark of divine power.

The grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to Heaven in the royal city is the most magnificent ceremony in the entire Yunwu Kingdom, and it has always been presided over by the King of Yunwu.

After several days of heavy snow, the entire Yunwu Royal City was covered in silver, resembling an ice and snow world.

A massive altar had already been erected in the center of the royal city, with countless wild beasts and livestock bound beneath it.

When Di Yi arrived, the high platform facing the altar was already full of distinguished guests.

The Prince of Yunwu and his queen sat in the main seats, with the civil and military officials of the Yunwu Kingdom behind them.

"Master Yi has finally arrived. Please take a seat."

Prince Yunwu laughed loudly and took the initiative to rise to greet him. He was of medium build and had held a high position for many years, so he carried a natural kingly aura. His cultivation was also not to be underestimated.

"Your Majesty is too kind."

Di Yi replied indifferently, and then, led by the eunuch, sat down in a seat not far from Prince Yunwu, right next to Liu Chuanshen.

Liu Chuanshen was an extremely talkative person, and he quickly took the initiative to start a conversation with Di Yi, talking about the winter solstice ceremony and the princes of the Yunwu royal family.

The Prince of Yunwu has nine princes, among whom the seventh prince is the son of the queen and is the most talented of the nine princes. He entered the Yuntai Sect at a very young age and became an inner disciple of the Yuntai Sect. It is said that his cultivation has now reached the Earth Realm. His talent is so high that few people in Tianmo Ridge can match him.

However, the Seventh Prince was far away in Tianmo Wucheng, deep in the Tianmo Ridge, and did not return to Yunwu County this winter solstice.

Besides the Seventh Prince, the Fourth Prince Zhang Shaochu and the Ninth Princess Zhang Yuxi also had decent martial arts talent. The remaining princes and princesses were of average talent and did not meet the eye of Liu Chuanshen, a master of the Heavenly Realm.

Of course, if we're talking about the most useless one, it has to be the Ninth Prince, Zhang Ruochen.

Di Yi's gaze fell on the royal family members not far away, and he spotted Zhang Ruochen's frail figure among them.

A handsome but sickly young boy, who looked like he wouldn't live for more than a few years.

That makes sense. If he hadn't died, how could Zhang Ruochen, the wise crown prince from eight hundred years ago, have been reborn in his body?

Therefore, no matter what, he was destined to die.

Zhang Shaochu was a chubby little boy. When he saw Di Yi's gaze, he excitedly said to the girl beside him, "Ninth Sister, it's that Qianlong Hall Master looking at us. Could it be that he's taken a liking to my martial arts talent and wants to take me as his disciple?"

Zhang Yuxi rolled her eyes at him and laughed, "Fourth Brother, stop daydreaming. What kind of person is the Master of the Hidden Dragon Hall? Even Father treats him as an equal. How could he possibly be interested in you? It would be more likely to be Seventh Brother."

Mentioning Zhang Tiangui, Zhang Shaochu couldn't help but feel disappointed. The Seventh Prince's talent was too dazzling, making everyone else in the royal family pale in comparison.

Di Yi withdrew his gaze, while Liu Chuanshen, standing beside him, changed the subject and brought up another matter.

"I heard that Master Yi is collecting information about the fragments of the Luo River?"

The disciples of the Hidden Dragon Hall were gathering information from all directions, and it was not surprising that Emperor Yi knew about Liu Chuanshen's knowledge of this matter.

“Indeed, I have heard that the fragments of the Luo River are incredibly sturdy and can be forged into divine weapons. I’ll find them and forge them into a True Martial Treasure that suits me.”

"I see, that's pretty much what I guessed." Liu Chuanshen chuckled. It's not unusual to use fragments that fell from the sky to forge True Martial Treasures. There are weapon-forging masters in the Martial Market Bank who have an extreme fondness for meteorite iron.

"Speaking of the fragments of the Luo River, I recall that when Prince Yunwu was chatting with me, he mentioned that the Taiyuan Halberd, the national treasure weapon of the Zhang family of the royal family, was a ninth-order True Martial Treasure forged from fragments of the Luo River."

"Ok?"

Di Yi was surprised, but his expression remained unchanged.

It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.

The fragments of the Luo River were right beside me.

The recent plot has been met with feedback that it's been a bit boring, padded out, and meaningless. After reading this, the author has reflected on it seriously and feels that there's some truth to what everyone is saying. The plot of Tianmo Ridge is mainly for two purposes: first, to recruit subordinates (Zi Qian, A Le... Han Qiu will not be arranged for the time being), and second, to create opportunities. Now that the people who needed to be recruited have been recruited, the rest can be rushed through.

Then the author felt that the most critical problem was that the updates were too slow. Slow updates meant slow plot progression, which in turn resulted in a poor reading experience...

During the new book period, the daily update is around 4,000 words, and it takes about four rounds of recommendations. However, for the author, getting two rounds of recommendations for an Eternal Fanfiction is already satisfactory, and getting three rounds is considered a bonus.

So, there's a super update today!

Unnecessary plot points will be streamlined as much as possible, but essential plot developments will still be indispensable.

I'll do my best to update more frequently after it's released.

Finally, please continue reading, please recommend, please vote with monthly tickets, especially continue reading, because who would refuse another round of recommendations!

Kneel down and thank you! ! !
