Chapter 25: I am merely a lowly Golden Core Realm cultivator

For those ancient antiques whose time is running out, there might only be hope for survival with significant effort; otherwise, it's a dead end.

Generally, many people fight for various treasures, techniques, divine powers, and potions, where extreme competition emerges.

Though not on the list, the strategies of people might be more impressive than those ranked.

In a landscape where few strong contenders exist, the powerful often think of other strategies to be implemented.

The notable ones on the list also sometimes fight against one another. Who could believe there are too many treasures?

This conflict breaks loose throughout the universe, so fervent that it scares weaker monks, leaving them feeling as though they are tiptoeing on thin ice!

On the other hand, the Star Domains lacking powerful personalities keep a strange serenity about them.

Xian Yue was idly fishing by the pond in the backyard of the Xian family when he suddenly sat up with a jolt. Xian Wu stood frozen before a huge stone that seemed to have materialized out of nowhere. It was heavenly reward-the Stone of Longevity!

At last he comprehended that somehow as he had ascended to the Great Emperor Realm!

"So, son, what was that thing you fused and absorbed for me earlier?" Xian Wu asked in amazement.

"The Great Emperor Dao Fruit!"

"Dao Fruit?"

"Yes, through fusion and absorption, it empowers one to be a Great Emperor!"

"But is there really such a miraculous thing in this world?" Xian Wu exclaimed, his eyes wide open.

"But you have only absorbed the Dao Fruit; you haven't really accessed the power of the Great Emperor yet. You will need time to get accustomed to the energy inside you; otherwise, a mere wave of your hand may signal doom!" Xian Yue warned.

This was a different cultivation level than what he initially signed up for. Knowledge of each realm's mysteries had been instilled in him by the system, making it easy for him to manage the power within his body.

"Dispose of a world?" Xian Wu gasped for breath.

He was aware of the destructive force running through his veins, but it felt a little beyond control.

"Do you mind sealing this power first? If it gets out of hand I shudder to think of what will happen!" Xian Wu urged, the desperation for his family's safety written across his face.

"Don't worry. As long as I'm here you won't lose control. Just be brave and get used to this power," Xian Yue said reassuringly, confident in his ability to suppress a Great Emperor's might.

Just at that moment, lots of his family members rushed into the courtyard and gazed at Xian Wu.

"What is it? Why are you all running here? Scaring my fish away!" Xian Yue grumbled irritably.

"Wu, aren't you that person on the Tiandao Golden List?" Yu Zhen asked abruptly, his gaze pinched in towards Xian Wu with shock.

They could hardly imagine that the man before them was really the one they knew from the list, since Xian Yue's name topped the list and any kind of deceiving could not be ruled out about him.

Xian Wu wanted to prove, but, seeing the younger clan members, he resolutely shook his head. "How could it be me? You all know I am only a minor figure in the Golden core realm. How could I suddenly become the Great Emperor?"

Great Emperor? Good heavens! He must certainly be some other fellow sharing the same name!

If such young generations were to know the rankings between themselves and Xian Yue, it would surely throw all of his world upside down.

The conceit and audacity of many disciples from important forces originated in their belief that they could do whatever they want, unrestrained, thanks to the support of their elders!

Even though the strength of the Xian family may increase, the younger members will never be allowed to take advantage of their family name for evil!

Even if Xian Yue's power was known later, he would strictly control his clan descendants and enact appropriate regulations.

"A second identity happens by coincidence? How is it that there are so many people with the same name as our clan on the Tiandao Golden List?" Xian Yin mused, bewildered. First, there was Xian Yue, and then Xian Wu—a super big coincidence!

"Ah, just an ignorance of the situation. The cosmos are vast, and there are millions with the same name!" An elder pushed forward, encouraging the young man to go back to his training.

Once the crowd calmed down, he asked again from Xian Wu.

"That man is me," Xian Wu confessed.

Yu Zhen gasped, quickly stuffing her mouth shut as she gazed at her husband.

"What on earth just happened?" the elder asked, in awe, his voice quivering. "How did you suddenly become such a Great Emperor?"

It was plausible that Xian Yue could restrain his power. However, entirely impossible that Xian Wu could do the same. After all, they had seen each other for many times already, and when Xian Wu was still the clan head, conflicts often flared between him and the other three families, even sometimes causing clansman to be killed.

Had they really possessed them, things would have turned out completely different!

"What else could it be? This is surely the doings of Xian Yue!" declared Xian Wu.

"Xian Yue?"

"Yes, he obtained a Great Emperor Dao Fruit somewhere. Then I absorbed and fused it, attaining the stature of a Great Emperor!

For a moment, all eyes turned back to Xian Yue. And in each of them could be seen amazement in their eyes. What exceptional means was he supposed to have to come across such an acquisition?

Yu Zhen was even more stunned than that, setting her mind to work to figure out what kind of unknown abilties her son might have.

"There's no need to make such a fuss over it; it's just a Great Emperor Dao Fruit. It's nothing special!"

No matter how mighty the Great Emperor will be, he's still in the mortal world and never become immortal.

"It's nothing special? That's the highest point of existence in the universe! I really think you are showing off!" the elder taunted.

"Show off? Never!"

"Truly, I'm telling the truth. Just as I said once, the Supreme Realm is so low, absolutely true. I am not boasting; you just don't know how high my current realm is, which made you think that I am boasting, but believe me, I am not!" Xian Yue said while setting aside his fishing rod.

"Perhaps we truly do not understand how high you have ascended!" The elder sighed, then moved forward, his smile shining brightly as a chrysanthemum. " Xian Yue, do you still have more of that Dao Fruit? I would love to try that too!"

Not just him—each and every elder present eyed Xian Yue eagerly.

A Great Emperor! Who wouldn't aspire to such power?

"It is not around currently, but I am sure plenty of more will come. Don't worry; if such treasure ever comes my way, I am sure to come forward and offer it to you first!"

"Well, that's good enough for me. I feel reassured at least!" The elders smiled and nodded with agreement.

Meanwhile, at Blossom Feast Hall Restaurant, the proprietress looked at Xian Wu, who surprisingly appeared on the Tiandao Golden List, and furrowed her brow. "I remember that the elder of the Xian family is named Xian Wu, isn't he?

"Sister Mei, are you kidding me? Are you seriously saying that Xian Wu from the Xian family in Feihua City is listed as the Great Emperor on the Heavenly Dao Golden List? Come on, Sister Mei. Not even you can fool me with this level of humor. If that little puny human is indeed a Great Emperor, then I guess I am some legendary immortal!"
