The Battle of Spiritual Sense
Is it here already?
Upon receiving this message from Spiritual Sense, Bai Qiuran narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking to herself.
Although the appearance of the Ghost Emperor would definitely attract the attention of the Five Directions Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm, Bai Qiuran did not expect them to arrive so quickly.
That's incredibly unsightly how they eat.
However, despite this, proper etiquette must still be observed, and of course, authority should also be established.
Bai Qiuran briefly sensed the Spiritual Sense strength of the five people and found that they were all roughly equal, but still slightly inferior to Jiang Lan.
He stood up from his seat, and as he did so, an indescribable and ineffable Spiritual Sense burst forth from him.
The Five Paths Spiritual Sense that were shrouding Fengdu City were instantly squeezed out by him, and the entire Underworld Ghost Realm was swallowed up by his Spiritual Sense. These Five Paths Spiritual Sense were then squeezed into the uppermost space of the Ghost Realm.
"Nice to meet you."
Bai Qiuran cupped his hands to the sky, and Jiang Lan followed suit.
"I am the Ghost Emperor, and this is my humble wife. It is truly an honor to meet you five today, bringing glory to the entire Underworld Ghost Realm."
The Five Paths Spiritual Sense were caught off guard and squeezed to the edge of the Underworld Ghost Realm by Bai Qiuran. Bai Qiuran also discovered that these Five Paths Spiritual Sense were projected from Five Paths different Spatial Rift.
After being squeezed into the upper space, within the influence range of these Five Paths Spiritual Sense, various colored lights suddenly condensed, forming Five Paths human figures made of light. They bowed to Bai Qiuran in the sky, and their voices carried far and wide.
"I have long heard of the Ghost Emperor's Daimyo, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."
Squeezed by Bai Qiuran, the Five Paths Spiritual Sense could no longer broadcast to the entire Fengdu City using simple Spiritual Sense fluctuations. Helpless, the five Immortal Emperors had no choice but to condense their own projections within the range of their Spiritual Sense influence.
However, although they were defeated by Bai Qiuran's attack, these Immortal Emperor seemed unwilling to give up. One of their Spiritual Sense wisely remained in place and did not continue to invade, while the other four joined forces, wanting to work together to resist Bai Qiuran's Spiritual Sense.
"Ha."
Bai Qiuran, continuing to press his Spiritual Sense upon the area, while saying with a smile, "I'm ashamed, it's just a minor trick, nothing compared to the great Divine Ability of the five of you in this interdimensional projection. This skill truly makes even a mere Ghost Emperor quite envious."
While the group of people were talking politely, Bai Qiuran's Spiritual Sense clashed fiercely with Spiritual Sense of the four Immortal Emperors. The formless and intangible Divine Power clashed in the upper space, even causing folds in the space itself, which was violently torn apart.
"Speaking of which..."
Amidst the fierce exchange, the tone of their voices remained unchanged. Among the Five Paths figures, a figure in cyan said to Bai Qiuran, "I still need to apologize to the Ghost Emperor. His unworthy and Li Jue subordinate, Li Jue, has done such a thing; it is truly shameful."
"Absolutely."
Another red figure chimed in, "I must also apologize to the Ghost Emperor and the entire Ghost Realm for the unwise actions of the Ran Qiu."
"Oh?"
Bai Qiuran asked, "May I ask who you two are...?"
"The Eastern Immortal Realm, the Eastern Azure Emperor."
The figure in blue said.
"The Southern Immortal Realm, the Southern Red Emperor."
The red-clad figure also spoke.
What kind of rubbish is that? I've never even heard of it.
Bai Qiuran scoffed, but outwardly said politely, "So you are two Immortal Emperors. I have long admired your Daimyo."
"You flatter me, Ghost Emperor."
After the two figures finished speaking, the red figure, the projection of the Southern Red Emperor, added, "We have come here again to ask for one more request."
"Oh?"
Bai Qiuran asked, "What business does the Crimson Emperor have that requires the attention of the Underworld Ghost Realm?"
"It's still about the Ran Qiu."
The Southern Red Emperor spoke politely, but the pressure on his Spiritual Sense intensified.
"We are all well aware that Ran Qiu committed a grave error, but Ran Qiu is, after all, Immortal Venerable of the Southern Immortal Realm, a member of the Immortal Realm. I request that the Ghost Emperor escort him back so that I may personally deal with him. I guarantee that I will give everyone in the Ghost Realm a perfect explanation."
So they were trying to play the extraterritoriality card with me.
Bai Qiuran sneered inwardly.
A satisfactory answer? Even a ghost wouldn't believe you!
Bai Qiuran, then looked up at the sky and asked, "Before that, I would like to ask the Crimson Emperor a few questions. First of all, the Underworld Ghost Realm and the Immortal Realm are part of the same system, a realm within the same power, right?"
"Yes."
The Southern Red Emperor cupped his hands towards the heavens and said, "Whether it is the Immortal Realm or the Underworld Ghost Realm, all are subject to the jurisdiction of His Majesty, the First Immortal Emperor Bai Li."
"Then, do the Ghost Realm Iron Laws apply to Immortals as well?"
"As is customary..."
Don't bring up the usual practices.
Bai Qiuran forcefully suppressed the Crimson Emperor Spiritual Sense, while interrupting, "The First Immortal Emperor said, do the Ghost Realm Iron Laws apply to Immortals?"
The Southern Red Emperor remained silent for a moment, then said, "If the Immortals are in charge of the Ghost Realm, then this applies."
"So, the Python Venerable, one of the Three Venerables of the Ghost Realm, rebelled and caused chaos in the Ghost Realm, colluding with the remnants of the Celestial God Clan and was arrested. Is it wrong for me to punish him according to the Ghost Realm Iron Laws?"
Bai Qiuran asked the final question.
"Of course it's correct."
The Southern Red Emperor paused, then clasped his hands and said, "But I must say this: Ghost Emperor, do not forget that beyond the law, there is also human compassion."
"Whose favor is it? The First Immortal Emperor's? Or yours?"
Bai Qiuran's voice turned cold.
"In the face of life and death, there is no room for sentimentality!"
As he shouted, his Spiritual Sense transformed into a raging torrent, washing over everything in the Underworld Ghost Realm. The Spiritual Sense of the five Immortal Emperors were unable to resist and were forcefully pushed into the Void.
"Five-digit and book."
In the Void, Bai Qiuran used the projection technique he had just stolen from the Immortal Emperor to project a shadowy, ghostly figure into his own Spiritual Sense. He then clasped his hands together with the five Immortal Emperor's Spiritual Sense and said, "Time is of the essence; you should leave."
"Heh, the person that the First Immortal Emperor has so firmly decided on is indeed extraordinary."
In the Void, the Five Paths figures who had been pushed out by him were not annoyed. They politely bowed to him without showing any emotion, and then took their leave.
The last figure in yellow turned around Bai Qiuran.
"They won't let this go so easily, Ghost Emperor, please be careful."
"Thanks for reminding me."
Bai Qiuran solemnly asked, "May I ask who you are...?"
"Before His Majesty, my humble name is not worth mentioning."
The yellow-clad figure bowed to Bai Qiuran.
"I'll take my leave now, please."
He withdrew his Spiritual Sense and projection, retreating into a certain world within the Void.
Is this person the Immortal Emperor Kaiyuan of the Central Immortal Realm?
Bai Qiuran narrowed her eyes and withdrew her Spiritual Sense.
Regardless of who this person is, he has already memorized their Spiritual Sense fluctuations. If he has the opportunity to go to the Immortal Realm in the future, he will naturally be able to recognize them face to face with the strength of his Spiritual Sense.
