Founding a Faction, Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water
On a snow-capped mountain cliff.
Emperor Yu stood tall and straight. Opposite him, the three closest people were naturally the three emperors: Yan Rulong, Madam Scorpion, and Fang Tianque.
Later.
They were a group of powerful Rogue Cultivator from the Vast Land.
Those qualified to climb this cliff are no ordinary people.
There are many Saint King Realm, including Great Saint and Saint King.
At this moment, everyone responded to Emperor Yu's words.
"The might of Emperor Yu is known Vast Land; we are willing to submit!"
"We all have different pasts, and most of us are related to the God Clan. There is no place for us on this Vast Land anymore. Now that we have gathered sand into a sea, we can at least help each other."
"Emperor Yu of high virtue and prestige; he should be our leader!"
This is the opinion of almost everyone.
This also demonstrates that Emperor Yu's illustrious reputation was indeed quite significant.
In response to this...
The three emperors had no objections.
However, Emperor Yu spoke directly, "I am grateful for your trust, but I must make it clear beforehand that the power you have established today is only temporarily managed by me. The true leader is someone else."
"What?"
"What kind of being could make Emperor Yu willingly serve him?"
Everyone was filled with doubt.
Yan Rulong and Madam Scorpion both frowned slightly.
"May I ask, Emperor Yu, who is it that commands your utmost attention? Could it be some Saint Venerable?"
Fang Tianque asked calmly.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating it. If Saint Venerable were truly in charge, this force would be as stable as Mount Tai and would not fear the God Clan.
Emperor Yu laughed and said, "This person is not Saint Venerable; his cultivation is only at the Great Saint Early Stage at this moment."
"What? The Great Saint? Did I hear that right?"
"Has Emperor Yu gone mad, or have I? How can the Great Saint become the leader of our force?"
"May I ask, Emperor Yu, who exactly is this person?"
Emperor Yu laughed and said, "This man is my disciple, Chen Ning."
"Chen Ning?"
Many people frowned and looked around, and soon they remembered this name.
"Could it be that rising star who single-handedly defeated the Little War God of War?"
"It should be him. I heard that the young man came from a small world. He initially became Emperor Yu's disciple, and now he has gone to the Light God Clan to marry the Divine Daughter of Light."
"To stand out from the small world at such a young age and surpass the younger generation of the God Clan from all sides of our Vast Land, he is probably second only to Divine Son of Kunlun Li Changsheng."
"Even if he is a top prodigy among the younger generation, he will ultimately find it difficult to command respect. There are powerful experts at the Emperor Realm present! There is no way he should be the leader."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Yan Rulong and Madam Scorpion also looked somewhat displeased.
They had complete faith in Emperor Yu as their leader.
But others.
But they don't have that qualification.
However, Emperor Yu had anticipated this scene. He calmly said, "You all have various entanglements with different God Clan, making it difficult for you to find a place to stay. My disciple also rose from humble beginnings. Like you, he has offended many God Clan. With him as the leader, we can ensure that this force will remain true to its original purpose in the future."
"Besides, do you all doubt my judgment? Those I value will surely become gods one day!"
"Of course, if you do not wish to, you may leave. It is up to you whether you stay or leave; I will not force you."
Upon hearing this statement...
Everyone present was shocked.
Given the high hopes placed upon him by Emperor Yu, perhaps Chen Ning truly is capable of attaining godhood.
Now.
They were all somewhat hesitant.
At last.
Fang Tianque spoke first, "Emperor Yu's discernment is extraordinary. The person you value must be exceptional. If your disciple truly achieves godhood in the future, then we will also be protected and honored. I am willing to join!"
With Emperor Fang Tianque taking the lead...
The others quickly made their decisions as well.
They flocked to serve him.
In reality, they had nowhere else to go. The rise of Emperor Yu's new power would surely serve as a warning to many God Clan, prompting them to intensify their purge of these people in order to prevent the emergence of a second Emperor Yu.
Similarly.
Once this power is established, most of the independent Rogue Cultivator who oppose the God Clan will pledge allegiance to it. If they continue to act as they please, they will be completely defeated by their respective enemies.
Unlike Chen Ning, who possesses unparalleled talent and is accepted by the God Clan, many God Clan have mutually beneficial relationships and would not choose to make enemies with other God Clan for the sake of people like them.
Therefore.
Emperor Yu was their best choice.
"Very well! Since there are no objections, from now on, you are all under my command. However, I must make it clear that once you join my faction, you must abide by these rules. If you violate them, you will be punished as well. But you need not worry, the rules will not restrict your freedom and will be much more lenient than those of the God Clan."
This was something Emperor Yu had decided long ago.
Many of these people are those who cannot tolerate the rules and regulations of the God Clan and pursue freedom and unrestrained living. Therefore, this force must not restrict their freedom at all times.
"Rest assured, Your Emperor Yu, we will abide by the sect rules. After all, we are not people who enjoy doing evil."
"By the way, Emperor Yu, I haven't asked you yet, what is the name of our force?"
Someone asked.
Instantly.
Everyone present looked at Emperor Yu expectantly.
The latter smiled faintly and said, "Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water!"
"Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water?"
"A flower in a mirror, the moon's reflection in water—like a dream, an illusion, elusive and unattainable... What a wonderful name!"
Many people nodded in approval.
From this day forward, they will have an alliance and will no longer fight separately.
"Madam Scorpion."
Emperor Yu looked at the alluring woman and said, "I'll leave the selection of members to you. What do you think?"
Madam Scorpion moved her red lips slightly. "I will take care of it."
"Yes, Fang Tianque will be in charge of communication and command transmission among the members."
"Rest assured, Your Emperor Yu, I've got it covered."
Fang Tianque readily agreed.
He was the most quick-witted among the three emperors and the most suitable for this job.
Soon.
The crowd dispersed.
Calmness returned to the snow-capped cliffs.
Emperor Yu gazed into the distance, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
In the future, Chen Ning will definitely need his own power, and what Emperor Yu needs to do is to personally create a powerful force that will make the Vast Land tremble, and then give it to his beloved disciple.
The story of Emperor Yu creating the illusion of Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water quickly spread Vast Land.
With the illustrious reputation of Emperor Yu, this power grew rapidly, and its call was answered by many.
After all.
The Vast Land is immense, and the number of Rogue Cultivator is even greater.
Many cultivators of humble origins, who had no way to serve the God Clan, now had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
At this point...
Many of the God Clan were getting restless.
If it were just Emperor Yu, they could tolerate it, but Emperor Yu's actions seem to indicate that he intends to unite all the Rogue Cultivator in the Vast Land. If they do not stop him, he may become a major threat.
The various God Clan, especially the Darkness God Clan, were particularly uneasy.
Once the Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water becomes reality.
It would be much harder to strike again then.
Then.
The Darkness God Clan have resorted to another tactic, attempting to stop the rise of Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water...
