She raised her head and swept her gaze across the crowd. Only the disciples of the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect were cheering for her. The others looked at her with surprise, conflicted feelings, or solemn expressions.
She could tell from those gazes that many people still feared her identity as a member of the Calamity Clan. The prejudices entrenched over a hundred thousand years had not been completely erased by this one battle.
She remembered an elder of her clan once saying that to truly clear the Calamity Clan's name, they needed to follow an Immortal Emperor. With a single word from an Immortal Emperor, even mountains of slander would vanish like smoke.
Back then, young and full of spirit, she had told the elder that if she could not become an Immortal Emperor's disciple or earn his favor out in the world, she would ascend to become an Immortal Emperor herself!
She had given this battle her all, but she did not know whether she could earn an Immortal Emperor's regard.
