Not mortal arrogance, but a strong one's self-knowledge

Qiongxiao stopped in her tracks.

Her emerald green fairy dress swayed gently in the wind, and her previously nonchalant face was now filled with astonishment.

What does the eldest sister mean by that?

What does it mean to say "truly just Human Emperor"?

"Big sister, what exactly did you mean by what you just said?"

"Although Di Xin possessed the Human Emperor's Luck and was incredibly powerful, he was ultimately just a mortal."

"Even if there are some supernatural aspects, how could they make you, elder sister, feel that he is 'not like the Human Emperor '?"

"Have you noticed something amiss?"

"Could there be some hidden secret about Di Xin that we haven't discovered?"

In Qiongxiao's view, Di Xin was indeed domineering and confident.

But at best, he was just a slightly more forceful mortal king.

Bixiao also came over, took Yunxiao's arm, and pouted.

"What else could it be but Human Emperor?"

"While it certainly has a lot of presence, it's nothing special."

"I think it's just that he's blessed with such strong Human Path Fortune that he stands out from the crowd."

"And what's with the saying 'I'm enough on my own'?"

"That's a torrent of Human Path Fortune that even we have to be extremely careful about, and dare not even touch."

"How can a newly enthroned Human Emperor, who has only been cultivating for a short time, guide us?"

"In my opinion, it's a miracle he doesn't get overwhelmed by Fortune."

The Ten Heavenly Lords followed behind, not interrupting, but their expressions clearly showed that they mostly agreed with Bixiao's views.

The Human Emperor is too arrogant.

They were so arrogant they were almost ignorant.

Yunxiao slowly shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the magnificent palace.

Her voice was very soft, as if she were answering her sister, or as if she were talking to herself.

"No, they're different."

"Didn't you feel it?"

"It wasn't simply imperial majesty, nor was it the oppressive feeling brought about by Fortune."

Qiongxiao and Bixiao exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat bewildered.

Yunxiao took a deep breath, seemingly organizing his thoughts, trying to describe that mysterious feeling.

"It's a kind of... taken-for-granted confidence."

"He faced us with no reverence, no attempts to curry favor, only an equal scrutiny."

"It's as if we're just a piece in his plan, nothing more."

"This confidence isn't feigned; it comes from within, from the depths of True Spirit."

"How could a mortal who has not yet crossed the boundary between immortal and mortal, even a Human Emperor, possess such a temperament and such spirit?"

After listening to Yunxiao's description, everyone fell into deep thought.

They had previously only admired Di Xin's extraordinary demeanor, but none had considered things as profoundly as Yunxiao.

Awakened by this revelation, and recalling the scenes that had just unfolded in the main hall, everyone was filled with a profound sense of unease.

Yes!

Facing twelve Daluo Golden Immortal, including Yunxiao, a Quasi-Sage, how could a mere mortal be so composed?

What makes him so confident in uttering such a boastful statement as, "I alone am enough to guide Fortune"?

That's not arrogance, but a calm composure that comes from having control over everything.

It's like guiding the Human Path Fortune, something they find incredibly difficult.

For him, things that could lead to utter ruin with the slightest carelessness were as simple as raising his hand.

Qin Wan frowned and said in a deep voice.

"I share the same feeling as Senior Sister Yunxiao."

"This Human Emperor is indeed strange in every way."

"We have cultivated the Dao for countless Eon; what kind of extraordinary talents haven't we seen?"

"But no one has ever given me such a profound and unfathomable feeling."

Bixiao shrank her neck and muttered to herself.

"Now that you mention it, I really do think that guy is a bit strange."

"Just now in the main hall, although he didn't use Magic Power, I still felt a chilly wind blowing down my neck."

"It's like being targeted by some ferocious beast."

Zhao Jiang nodded, his expression grave.

"I noticed that too."

"That oppressive feeling didn't come from cultivation level, but from a pressure deep within the soul."

"It's as if we, the immortals who have achieved great spiritual cultivation, are nothing more than slightly larger ants in his presence."

This feeling is awful.

This made these immortals, who were used to being high above others, feel extremely uncomfortable.

But at the same time, it also instilled in them a sense of awe for this Human Emperor.

Seeing that everyone understood the implications, Yunxiao said no more.

She waved her sleeve, dispelling some of the oppressive atmosphere.

"Alright, these matters are none of our concern for now."

"Regardless of whether he is a reincarnation of Great Powers, regardless of what trump cards he has."

"He is now our ally and our employer."

Yunxiao's gaze swept over every face, his tone becoming serious and solemn.

We only have one task now.

"That means setting up this grand formation."

"Not only must it be laid out well, but it must be done to the extreme!"

"Flawless!"

Qiongxiao asked, puzzled.

"Big sister, since he's so powerful, why don't we just set up a simple formation to coordinate with him?"

Why bother with all that trouble?

"Foolish!"

Yunxiao gave a soft rebuke.

"It is precisely because he is so capable that we must go all out."

"Since he dared to boast so boldly, taking on the sole responsibility of guiding Fortune..."

"What if the Fortune is drawn in, but the formation collapses because it can't withstand the power?"

"Whose face are we losing?"

"Is it to save face for the Human Emperor?"

"No."

Yunxiao's voice turned cold, carrying the arrogance of a Jie Sect Disciple.

"If we can't even do something as basic as setting up an array properly, we'll be disgracing not only the thirteen of us."

"Moreover, it's about the entire Interception Sect, and the face of our Master!"

"People will say that the Jie Sect Disciple are incompetent, unable to even withstand the power provided by a Human Emperor."

"The Tongtian Sect Master's true teachings on array formations are nothing but a joke!"

These words struck everyone like a heavy hammer blow.

yes.

This is no longer just about helping the Human Emperor set up his formation.

This was also a contest over the face of the Interception Sect.

The Human Emperor took on the most difficult part.

That is the ultimate in "force".

Then they need to achieve the ultimate in "skill".

We must not let the Human Clan look down on us!

We must never bring shame upon our Master!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned serious.

That's right, they represent the Interception Sect!

"Senior sister is right!"

The Ten Heavenly Lords bowed in unison, their faces flushed red—a mixture of shame and a renewed fighting spirit.

"We almost ruined a very important matter."

Qin Wan bowed to Yunxiao and said solemnly.

"We will dedicate all our knowledge to making this formation as solid as a rock, and we will never tarnish the prestige of the Interception Sect!"

Bixiao waved her little fists, her face full of defiance.

"Hmph! So what if he caught a bit of Fortune?"

"I refuse to believe that the thirteen of us working together can't set up a perfect formation!"

"We must show that Human Emperor what true immortal techniques are!"

Seeing the fighting spirit that had been ignited in everyone, Yunxiao nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go back and analyze the formation diagram."

"Since the Human Emperor possesses such ambition, we cannot diminish the reputation of the Interception Sect."

"This formation will not be retained."

"Every detail must be considered, and every change must be thoroughly analyzed."

"I will make this Chaoge City a true Forbidden Land for immortals and gods!"
