Facing the extremely arrogant Gu Qingfeng, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes and the others fell into a period of silence, their expressions extremely ugly.
"Do you still want the Origin or not? Come and snatch it!" Gu Qingfeng clamored. He even took out the Black Lotus of Calamity, tossing it back and forth in the air between his left and right hands.
However, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes did not make a move. He did not want to let Gu Qingfeng make a fool out of him.
"Gu Qingfeng, do you think this Emperor will fall for it? You want to use this Emperor's attacks to absorb the calamity and strengthen yourself. This Emperor has already seen through your trick!"
Gu Qingfeng smiled disdainfully, "Do you think that just because you do not attack, this Emperor cannot become stronger? There are plenty of calamities in this world. You might be able to protect these people, but can you manage the entire world?
Admit it, you are already at your wit's end. Right now, the only thing you can do is watch helplessly as this Emperor becomes stronger, until I become an Immortal Emperor.
When that time comes, jie jie jie...
This Emperor has memorized the appearances of every single one of you. In the beginning, you all wanted to snatch the Origin, right?
Do not be in a hurry. Wait until this Emperor becomes an Immortal Emperor, and I will settle the score with you one by one!
Of course, this Emperor can also give you a way out right now. That is to obediently come over and be this Emperor's dogs. After all, an Immortal Emperor also needs subordinates, right?"
Gu Qingfeng's arrogant posture made it seem as if he had surrounded an Immortal Emperor and numerous Immortal Venerables, rather than the other way around.
Although Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes and the others wanted to retort, they did not know what to say. Some of the more cautious Immortal Venerables even genuinely started to consider Gu Qingfeng's words.
This was because everything Gu Qingfeng said was the truth. No one could stop him at all. He could not be killed, and he could not be sealed. They could only watch helplessly as he grew stronger bit by bit.
The Eternal True Realm was not lacking in calamities. Sooner or later, he would become an Immortal Emperor, and a top-tier one at that.
Facing such an existence, the smart thing to do was not to make an enemy out of him, but rather to become his friend.
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes's expression changed again and again. It seemed he had made a great resolution as he said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, there is no deep hatred between you and me, and you have not suffered any injuries. Do you think we can reconcile?"
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes also wanted to yield. He really had no other choice. Rather than forming a grudge with someone destined to become an Immortal Emperor, it was better to befriend him before the conflict escalated.
Reaching their realm, they saw many things very clearly. Face was certainly important, but in reality, it was not that important.
Without face, he would still be a high and mighty Immortal Emperor.
But if he lost his life, then he would have nothing.
"Oh?" Gu Qingfeng revealed an intrigued smile. "Who was it just now that was clamoring to kill this Emperor and seize the Origin?"
A trace of awkwardness appeared on Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes's face. He forced a smile and said, "This Emperor admits that I spoke a bit too loudly just now.
But it is better to squash enmity than to keep it alive. If you agree to reconcile, this Emperor will not only let bygones be bygones, but can even help you speed up the collection of calamities. Otherwise, it would not be a bad idea for you and me to become sworn brothers. That would be a wonderful tale."
"Jie jie jie... Someone like you is worthy of calling this Emperor a brother?" Gu Qingfeng smiled arrogantly. "What kind of thing are you? You want to fight when you feel like it, and reconcile when you feel like it? Today, this Emperor will lay it out here: the day I become an Immortal Emperor, the first one I will destroy is you!"
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He said angrily, "Gu Qingfeng, do not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Do you really think this Emperor has no way to deal with you!"
"Yo, not convinced? Make a move then!"
Looking at Gu Qingfeng's mocking and arrogant appearance, since when had Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes ever suffered such humiliation? He almost could not hold back from attacking.
However, he still held back, because he knew that attacking would not only fail to hurt Gu Qingfeng, but would actually increase the other party's strength.
"Hmph, Gu Qingfeng, this Emperor indeed has no way to deal with you. But if you think there is no one else in this world who can handle you, then you are gravely mistaken. Since you are unwilling to reconcile, this Emperor will report this matter to the Five Directions Immortal Emperors. With them taking action, you will undoubtedly die!" Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes sneered.
Five Directions Immortal Emperors?
Hearing these words, related memories immediately surfaced in Gu Qingfeng's mind. He had devoured quite a few Immortal Venerables, so he naturally possessed their memories. However, he was usually too lazy to read them, as he had devoured too many people.
But the moment the words Five Directions Immortal Emperors came out, the relevant memories were immediately activated.
As everyone knew, the Five Directions Immortal Emperors were five individuals.
They were known as the five strongest Immortal Emperors, standing above all other Immortal Emperors.
Because the five of them had each established an Immortal Court, suppressing the East, West, South, North, and Center, the five regions, they were thus called the Five Directions Immortal Emperors.
These five people were, respectively, the Time Immortal Emperor, the Space Immortal Emperor, the Devouring Immortal Emperor, the Creation Immortal Emperor, and the Eternal Immortal Emperor.
The Eternal Immortal Emperor governed the Central Immortal Court, while the other four Immortal Emperors guarded the four directions.
As could be seen from their names, these Immortal Emperors respectively controlled the Origin of Time, the Origin of Space, the Origin of Devouring, and the Origin of Creation.
Meanwhile, the Eternal Immortal Emperor controlled the Origin of Power.
Recalling the information about the Five Directions Immortal Emperors, Gu Qingfeng could not help but feel slightly startled. Space and Time, Devouring and Creation, as well as Power... these types of Origins were likely the most top-tier. They truly deserved to be the five strongest Immortal Emperors.
However, he did not panic in the slightest. After all, wasn't there an old saying?
Time is supreme, Space is king, Devouring is boundless, Creation is unparalleled, Power is the highest, and the System is the strongest.
Leaving aside the System, just speaking of Calamity alone, it was not the slightest bit weaker than their Origins.
Because the two sides were not on the same level.
All Origins were born based on the Eternal True Realm, but Calamity was the sole exception; it was born to destroy the Eternal True Realm.
The Eternal True Realm represented life, so Calamity was its opposite, representing destruction.
Based on life, all Origins such as Time, Space, and Power were born. But based on destruction, only the Origin of Calamity was born. The disparity between them could easily be imagined.
Once Calamity grew up, they would all be little brothers!
"What kind of things are the Five Directions Immortal Emperors? Even if you do not call them, this Emperor will go looking for them sooner or later," Gu Qingfeng said disdainfully.
"Good! You just wait!" Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes threw down a harsh remark and directly left with the Immortal Venerables. He could not leave the Immortal Venerables behind for Gu Qingfeng to use to grow stronger.
After returning to Nine Extremes Mountain, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes had a dark face and flew into a terrible rage.
After becoming an Immortal Emperor, he had never suffered such great humiliation.
To think that he, a dignified Immortal Emperor, had lowered himself to seek reconciliation with an Immortal Venerable, yet the other party did not know what was good for him and dared to refuse. Instead, he even explicitly stated that after becoming an Emperor, the first person he would kill was him. How could he not be furious?
"Bastard!! This Emperor will have you die sooner or later! Gu Qingfeng!!"
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes erupted with a thunderous roar. The entire Nine Extremes Mountain was enveloped under the might of an Immortal Emperor, trembling in fear.
Following beside him were those previous Immortal Venerables.
The Immortal Venerables had long lost their previous majesty. Feeling the violent Emperor's might rushing at their faces, each and every one of them was tense to the extreme, deeply afraid that Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes would use them to vent his anger.
"Lord Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes, what should we do? At a glance, this Gu Qingfeng is someone who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. If he becomes an Emperor, there will definitely be no way out for us in the future!"
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes's gaze flashed like cold lightning. He looked at the crowd and said icily, "Then it would be better for you all to die by my hands first. That way, Gu Qingfeng won't be able to take revenge on you."
The Immortal Venerables were instantly struck with terror. The hot-tempered ones even started cursing out loud. Why was every single one of them like this?!
Were all these damn Immortal Emperors cut from the exact same cloth?
No wonder they themselves could never become Immortal Emperors, it turned out they just weren't as utterly shameless as them.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead?

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
