Longevity Great Emperor had originally planned to do exactly this.
Find the person chosen by Empress Lingping, make him submit and pledge absolute loyalty to him. When the time came, relying on his relationship with Empress Lingping, he would certainly be able to obtain some generous gifts and treasures, or perhaps some little-known information and opportunities... especially opportunities related to cultivation and advancement!
Once that happened, he could use those opportunities and treasures to rise explosively and unify several domains!
Being born with insufficient bloodline potential was not important.
As long as he had enough opportunities, even with mediocre aptitude, he could still ascend to that unfathomable position!
"I will swear a Heavenly Dao Oath and submit completely to you?"
Su Xiaobai narrowed his eyes.
No wonder Longevity Great Emperor had seemed so easy to talk to... It turned out this fellow had never intended to let him off easily from the very beginning!
That made sense.
At most, he was only a Quasi-Emperor Grade cultivator who had half-stepped into the Astonishing Emperor Grade realm. How could he possibly catch the eye of a Great Emperor of the Third Layer?
Naturally, in Longevity Great Emperor's eyes, Su Xiaobai was merely a soft persimmon he could squeeze however he pleased.
"You can't escape."
Longevity Great Emperor's voice boomed like thunder. "You're proficient in Space Attribute Techniques. Coincidentally, so am I! My last battle with the Azure Emperor left a deep impression on me. This time, no one can escape from my hands!"
"If you submit, I can not only spare your life but also grant you immense benefits!"
"If you refuse, I have hundreds and thousands of ways to make you wish you were dead, to make life worse than death... You're a smart man. You should know how to choose!"
