On the second day after he ended his secluded cultivation, Zhang Tie had received the ambassadors from Star Emperor Immortal Palace, Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Emperor NvWa’s Palace. These people had been waiting for Zhang Tie for about one month in Dragon Emperor City.

Zhang Tie was crystal clear about the reason that the three top forces were eager to meet him so much.

Superficially, the ambassadors of the three top forces were here to congratulate Zhang Tie for his military exploits in Nine Heavens Big Domain; actually, they were here to acknowledge Zhang Tie’s current situation and his plan in the future out of fear.

Through the battle in Deities Plain, Zhang Tie’s name had been regarded as an unrivaled powerhouse in Motian Realm. Now that he could easily kill two demon emperors and the army of 100,000 demo generals in Deities Plain, Nine Heavens Big Domain, he could also inflict heavy losses on Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace if he wanted. If Zhang Tie was more ambitious, he could definitely break the existing pattern of human forces in Motian Realm.

Therefore, it was reasonable that the three top human forces in Motian Realm would like to care about and confirm his plan. Otherwise, if Zhang Tie really cast greedy eyes on the three top human forces, Star Emperor might have to be in secluded cultivation for a long time.

Actually, not only the three top human forces, at the critical moment when Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace rose and human forces in Motian Realm might face sharp turbulence, the other human immortal palaces, major sects and clans were also keeping a close eye on Dragon Emperor City. They’ve pricked up their ears and widened their eyes so as to get any intelligence possible from Dragon Emperor City.

As for those supreme-level immortal generals who wanted to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace at this moment, some of them might really admire Zhang Tie; undeniably, some of them had a deep speculative incentive. If Zhang Tie wanted to shuffle the human forces in Motian Realm, they would definitely win great benefits by standing on Zhang Tie’s side at this moment. Such adventurists were always seen among supreme-level immortal generals in Motian Realm.

If Zhang Tie was born in Motian Realm, he might really have such a plan. Pitifully, Zhang Tie had never intended to be an overlord in Motian Realm. The original intention that he ascended to the throne of Dragon Emperor and safeguarded the benefits of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was to prevent the properties left by the former Dragon Emperor in Motian Realm from being destroyed; instead of his desire for authority.

This original intention remained unchanged until now.

After ending the battle in Deities Plain, Zhang Tie most wanted to return to Taixia Country; instead of ruling Motian Realm.

Therefore, he cleared the obstacles for those elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace on the way to supreme-level immortal palaces. With the four supreme-level immortal generals on the back of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and the prestige that he had built in Dragon Emperor Big Domain and Deities Plain with the heads of numerous powerhouses, Zhang Tie was firmly convinced that no force in Motian Realm dared cast greedy eyes on Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace even though he disappeared in Motian Realm for 1,000 years in the name of entering secluded cultivation.

The former Dragon Emperor didn’t kill Demon Emperors in Motian Realm. Even so, his prestige still safeguarded Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for over 900 years after he disappeared, during which period, nobody dared attack Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Zhang Tie believed that the quality guarantee period of his prestige in Motian Realm should not be shorter than that of the former Dragon Emperor.

Before meeting the ambassadors of Star Emperor Immortal Palace, Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Emperor NvWa’s Palace, also in the early morning of the next day after Zhang Tie finished his secluded cultivation, Zhang Tie received a person in the study room of the former Dragon Emperor Pavilion——Tong Xuangui, the immortal lord of Five Elements Immortal Palace.

Tong Xuangui had been kneeling outside Dragon Emperor Pavilion for over one month. After Zhang Tie killed those immortal generals of Five Elements Immortal Palace and two demon emperors in Dragon Emperor Big Domain, Tong Xuangui had come here alone; instead of being bound or forced.

Besides the two demon emperors, Zhang Tie had killed more than 5 supreme-level demon generals in Deities Plain alone. Therefore, a supreme-level immortal general of Five Elements Immortal Palace was nothing but sh*t in front of Zhang Tie.

The slim chance of survival of Five Elements Immortal Palace and Tong Xuangui was in Zhang Tie’s hand. Tong Xuangui’s deed might be wise and sincere. Additionally, people could judge how Zhang Tie would treat those people who once offended Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace through Tong Xuangui’s result.

As Five Elements Immortal Palace once invaded Dragon Emperor Big Domain. After Zhang Tie’s return, even if Zhang Tie killed Tong Xuangui and asked Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to completely devour all the territories and cities of Five Elements Immortal Palace, nobody dared say no to his decision.

…

“Your Majesty, I’ve brought Tong Xuangui here!” a guard reported outside the room.

“Let him in…” Zhang Tie didn’t turn around; instead, he just watched the four words “I Die, People Live” on a wall that the former Dragon Emperor once hung. Previously, Zhang Tie took it away; now, he had people hang it over there again.

After the door of the study room was opened from outside, he heard a footstep from behind. Closely after that, he heard someone kneeling down on the ground as someone’s quivering and hoarse voice sounded, “My respect to Your Majesty, I’m Tong Xungui, the guilty person of Five Elements Immortal Palace…”

“Do you know why I have people take you here?” Zhang Tie didn’t turn around; neither did he feel like looking at Tong Xuangui and his expression.

“I… don’t,” Tong Xuangui said hardly.

Zhang Tie pointed at the calligraphy on the wall and said calmly, “Raise your head and watch the four words carefully. The four words were left by the former Dragon Emperor. It also explains why I chose to be Dragon Emperor. When I returned to Dragon Emperor Big Domain over one month ago, if you were in Dragon Emperor Big Domain, I would definitely have decapitated you. But now, I will keep you alive because of the four words; neither will I punish the actions of Five Elements Immortal Palace in the past. If you can promote to an immortal emperor in the future, hopefully, you bear in mind the four words which saved your life here today. Okay, you can leave now…”

…

Tong Xuangui left there. He entered Dragon Emperor Pavilion alive and left there alive too. Finally, he flew off Dragon Emperor City. It was said that Tong Xuangui entered Dragon Emperor’s study room. Although nobody knew what had happened in the study room, Tong Xuangui who once knelt down outside Dragon Emperor Pavilion finally left Dragon Emperor City alive.

When many people in Dragon Emperor City were hesitant, they heard another piece of news.

The Supervision Department of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had received the oral decree from Zhang Tie the incumbent Dragon Emperor——Release all the immortal generals and clansmen of Yun Clan who had been caught and taken back to Dragon Emperor Big Domain. Just drive them out of Dragon Emperor Big Domain.

After hearing the two pieces of news, many human forces were shocked. Meanwhile, the Dragon Emperor City which made numerous people’s hearts race finally became tranquil.

After that, all the other domains and forces in Motian Realm which had been restless for over one month also gradually became tranquil.

Closely after that, Zhang Tie sat below the four words in the study room of Dragon Emperor Pavilion and received the ambassadors of Star Emperor Immortal Palace, Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Emperor NvWa’s Palace.

Facing the ambassadors of the three top human forces, Zhang Tie only said a few words, “Emperor NvWa’s Palace, Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace are the pillars of humans in Motian Realm, as a member of humans, I don’t expect to see great turbulence in human domains of Motian Realm; neither do I want to see numerous families being destroyed and humans being killed or the fall of the three pillars of humans in Motian Realm. It took me prodigious energy to kill the two demon emperors. I’ve not fully recovered even now. I might be in secluded cultivation for a long period of time. During this period, hopefully, His Majesty Star Emperor and His Majesty Force Emperor could shoulder the responsibility to deal with demons…”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s stance, all the ambassadors of the top three human forces became completely reassured.

“Her Majesty Emperor NvWa asked me to invite Your Majesty Dragon Emperor to meet her when you’re free. The gate of Emperor NvWa’s Palace will be open to Your Majesty at any time!” Emperor NvWa’s Palace assigned a deputy president here, who was a supreme-level immortal general, also a woman with white hair and ruddy complexion who looked pretty noble. She then gave Zhang Tie a space-teleportation finger ring in front of the other two elders of Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace, “Here’s the item that Her Majesty Emperor NvWa asked me to present to you…”

“Oh, what’s inside it?” Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity when he received it.

“Her Majesty Emperor NvWa said the item inside it should belong to Your Majesty, Your Majesty can take a look at it!”

When he received the finger ring, Zhang Tie casually peeped his spiritual energy into it. Closely after that, he caught sight of the brilliant Heavens-Measuring Ruler…

‘Heavens-Measuring Ruler! It’s Heavenly Immortal Hunyuan’s Heavens-Measuring Ruler?’ This Heavens-Measuring Ruler once disappeared after being involved in the turbulence of time and space with him. Previously, Zhang Tie thought he couldn’t see this rarity anymore. Unexpectedly, it appeared again after so many turns and twists.

‘How did Emperor NvWa know that Heavens-Measuring Ruler was related to me? How did she get it?’ Many questions filled Zhang Tie’s mind in an instant. At this moment, the identity of Emperor NvWa whom Zhang Tie had not seen before instantly became profound and unpredictable…

After being stunned for a few seconds and considering a lot of possibilities, Zhang Tie instantly raised his head and watched the ambassador of Emperor NvWa’s Palace with bright piercing eyes before saying in a muffled sound, “Please tell Her Majesty Emperor NvWa that I will meet her in Emperor NvWa’s Palace in 2 months…”

…

After seeing off the ambassadors of the three top human forces, Zhang Tie watched the Heavens-Measuring Ruler inside the space-teleportation finger ring in the study room alone. Meanwhile, those familiar yet remote faces started to loom in Zhang Tie’s mind…

…

11 days later, Long Jiutian and Luo Yunshang promoted to supreme-level immortal generals in consecutive two hours on the same day. The abnormal phenomena that they aroused the attention of people within 1,600 miles centered on Dragon Emperor City. As a result, the entire Dragon Emperor Big Domain was shocked.

On the same day, after having a drink with Liu brothers and ending his concerns about Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie left Dragon Emperor City alone secretly…
