So What If I Was an Emperor in My Past Life

Gu Changge sensed the change in Ling Xi's mindset and nodded inwardly.

That's more like it. Whether you were an invincible Great Emperor in your past life or not, now that you're on my Purple Bamboo Peak, you must obediently be my disciple.

Gu Changge looked at Fang Hanyu, who was still reminiscing about the previous battle, and Xiao Ruobai, who was eager to try his hand. He slowly cleaned up the scattered melon seed shells in front of him and clapped his hands.

"Alright, come here, all of you. There's no rush for sparring; there will be plenty of time for that later."

He spoke softly, drawing the gazes of the three.

Hearing their master's voice, Ling Xi, Xiao Ruobai, and Fang Hanyu immediately restrained their thoughts, hurried to Gu Changge's side, and waited for his instructions.

Gu Changge's gaze first fell on Ling Xi: "Xi'er, your devouring power is indeed overbearing and unmatched, and your combat awareness is unparalleled. It is obvious that you have been through countless great battles, and your foundation is truly extraordinary."

"I won't ask what you've experienced in the past, but since you've come to Purple Bamboo Peak, you should stay grounded and start anew. No matter how glorious your past battle records were, that is ultimately the past. You must look forward."

As soon as Gu Changge's words fell, Ling Xi's newly calmed heart suddenly pounded uncontrollably, her face filled with absolute shock.

"Master must have seen through it?"

Being a reincarnated Great Emperor was her biggest secret, yet it had been seen through by her master at this moment.

Just who exactly was her master?

She had already overestimated Gu Changge as much as possible before. He was able to teach such outstanding disciples and casually bring out heaven-defying divine artifacts like the Prodigy Tower, which could reflect the projections of ancient Great Emperors.

Even if her master claimed to be a Great Emperor expert himself, she wouldn't be overly surprised.

But being hit right on the mark by her master's words now, she was truly and utterly shocked!

Just who was her master to be so unfathomably deep...

Gu Changge looked at the dumbfounded Ling Xi and thought to himself: Be shocked. So what if you were a Great Emperor in your past life?

The waters of this world are much deeper than you imagine. Did you think that by reincarnating and returning, you could see through all the mountains and rivers at a glance?

Little do you know, you have only just pushed open the door to a new world.

Without waiting for Ling Xi to reply, Gu Changge shifted his gaze back to Fang Hanyu and Xiao Ruobai: "Ruobai, Hanyu, always remember that there is always a heaven beyond the heaven, and people beyond people. Your junior sister hasn't been in the sect for long, yet she can already contend with you without falling at a disadvantage."

"Do you know that among the countless great worlds, the Xuanhuang Great World is merely one of them? In the broader skies outside, prodigies are as numerous as carp crossing a river, countless in number. There are definitely monstrous talents far stronger than you."

"Remember not to be complacent and never underestimate your enemies. You must walk every step steadily, reach the absolute limit, and even break through the extreme realm to fully develop your potential before advancing to the next realm."

Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu's eyes narrowed. Their master's words hammered heavily against their hearts, shattering the slight complacency that had recently arisen within them.

With serious expressions, they said respectfully, "Thank you for the awakening, Master. Your disciples will keep this in mind."

Seeing that they had taken his words to heart, Gu Changge casually flicked his sleeve, sending three specks of spiritual light flying toward Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Ling Xi.

"As your master, I recently gained some insights by chance. Comprehend this 'Can't Defeat Me' cultivation technique well."

The spiritual lights touched their foreheads and disappeared, followed immediately by an incredibly profound incantation surging into their seas of consciousness.

When the three of them finished digesting the information of the technique, they were all shocked by its powerful effects.

It wasn't a simple offensive combat skill, but an extremely powerful auxiliary technique.

During battle, there was no need to be distracted; with just a single thought, the technique would operate on its own.

Once the technique was running, it would draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao, creating a deep resonance with the heavens and earth to invisibly form a domain field.

This domain was like a miniature world. It could drastically suppress the opponent's technique circulation speed and the power of their divine abilities, while simultaneously enhancing one's own attack and defense.

It could also heighten one's spiritual perception, allowing one to easily see through the opponent's flaws and even predict their next move.

With this domain, one would basically stand in an inherently invincible position.

If two people were locked in an inseparable fight, suddenly activating this technique would be enough to frustrate the opponent to death.

In their seas of consciousness, the technique's incantations echoed and boomed like the heavenly voices of the Great Dao. Every single word contained supreme principles of laws that subverted their understanding!

Operating on its own! Heavenly Dao resonance! Domain suppression! Seeing through flaws! Predicting movements!

This could be said to be a heaven-defying battle method enough to drive any cultivator mad! It was a supreme authority that could forcefully tip the scales of battle in one's own favor!

The pupils of the three violently contracted. A technique could actually be like this?

"Op... operate on its own?"

Xiao Ruobai muttered to himself, the muscles on his rugged face twitching slightly. He suddenly looked up at Gu Changge, his voice changing pitch.

"Master! This... this technique... isn't this too... too absurd?! If we fight with this, how is the opponent supposed to play?!"

He imagined a scenario: two people of equal strength were fighting intensely, and suddenly, with a single thought...

The opponent would instantly feel as if they had sunk into a quagmire, their spiritual energy circulation hindered, and the power of their moves greatly reduced. Meanwhile, he himself would be as if aided by a god, with fiercer attacks, stronger defenses, and the ability to see through the opponent's next move at a glance...

This was no longer a battle; this was simply bullying! No, it was a crushing defeat! A total devastation!

Fang Hanyu's hand gripping the Absolute Beginning Sword trembled slightly. He felt that the importance of this technique was no less than his Primal Chaos Sword Body inheritance!

Ling Xi's feelings were the most complex and intense. She had been an Emperor in her past life and had seen countless top-tier techniques and secret arts, but there had never been a single technique like this one that could bring her such a massive psychological shock!

The concept of this technique was too advanced!

It completely jumped out of the conventional scope of raising spiritual energy and tempering combat skills, directly starting from the level of rules to create an absolute advantage!

This was simply... the ultimate auxiliary technique tailor-made for fighting against stronger existences!

This technique was definitely not just to let them dominate those of the same realm, but could be used to deal with terrifying enemies they might encounter in the future who far exceeded their current level!

It would give them a glimmer of hope for survival, and even... the possibility of counterattacking in true desperate situations!

Thinking of how her master had seen through her origins, thinking of that mysterious Eternal Prodigy Tower, and looking at the heaven-defying technique in her hands...

Ling Xi only felt a chill rise up her spine, yet it was accompanied by an indescribable sense of security and... excitement.

She restrained all her emotions and bowed deeply to Gu Changge with extreme solemnity, almost reverently: "Disciple Ling Xi thanks Master for bestowing this supreme dharma!"

Looking at the extremely excited and uncontrollably thrilled appearances of the three, the faint curve at the corner of Gu Changge's mouth became a bit more pronounced.

"Mm, it's good that you know its power. However, a technique is dead, while a person is alive. No matter how well you practice it, if your own foundation is unstable and your strength is lacking, even the strongest domain will be a castle in the air, broken with a single poke. Do not put the cart before the horse."
