Zhang Sanfeng: At your rate of improvement, Great Emperor, you'll be thrashing the Undying Heavenly Emperor in a hundred thousand years.
Zhang Sanfeng: The big shots in this group have rubbed off on me too much. Even a youngster like me, not quite a hundred years old, casually talks about a hundred thousand years. I'm getting carried away, carried away.
"Hahahaha." Meng Chuan laughed when he saw Zhang Sanfeng's comments. "Today, he's young Zhang Sanfeng, not quite a hundred years old."
Meng Qi: The dragon doesn't roar, the tiger doesn't growl. A puny Undying—laughable, laughable.
Daigu Madoka: Little Meng, when did your mute get lifted?
Meng Qi: I just logged off to receive my punishment at the Discipline Academy. When I logged back on, it lifted automatically.
Meng Qi: The one who got muted was the Meng Qi online earlier. What does that have to do with the Meng Qi online now?
Meng Qi: Are you heading to the Jiang Family, Great Emperor? I really want to see the divine might of the Hengyu Furnace.
"I don't want to talk to you, you lunatic." Meng Chuan spoke to Meng Qi as he watched the imposing buildings appear in the distance, along with several figures flying toward him.
Daigu Madoka: Are they coming to welcome the Great Emperor?
Zhang Sanfeng: Naturally.
Jiang Daoran looked at Meng Chuan with a somewhat complicated expression. In the end, he bowed slightly. "Greetings, Great Emperor!"
"Greetings, Great Emperor!"
"Brother Jiang, it's been nine hundred years. Your bearing has grown even more extraordinary." Meng Chuan looked at Jiang Daoran, who was still a Quasi-Emperor.
Jiang Daoran smiled bitterly. What bearing could a loser on the Emperor Path still possess?
"Have you come to the Jiang Family with a decree, Great Emperor?" Jiang Daoran asked.
Meng Chuan shook his head. "I've merely come to trace Emperor Hengyu's footsteps. In those days, Emperor Hengyu confronted the Primordial Ancient Mine and cowed a Life Forbidden Zone. He commanded admiration."
"And I've also come to see you, Brother Jiang."
Hearing Meng Chuan's words, Jiang Daoran welcomed him into the Jiang Family and took him to several places where Emperor Hengyu had secluded himself to comprehend the Dao. Meng Chuan demonstrated his arts, letting them clash with Hengyu's Dao marks without damaging them in the slightest, and gained something from the experience.
Afterward, Jiang Daoran led Meng Chuan to the Jiang Family's main hall, where they brewed enlightenment tea. Originally, besides Jiang Daoran, several Great Sage elders of the Jiang Family and the young prodigy Jiang Daoran valued most had accompanied them.
After entering the main hall, Meng Chuan had them leave, leaving only himself and Jiang Daoran seated across from each other.
Daigu Madoka: Have you noticed how imposing the Great Emperor is?
Daigu Madoka: Apart from this Jiang Daoran, everyone else treats him with such respect. They even seem terribly careful when speaking to him.
Daigu Madoka: Nothing like Meng Qi!
Meng Qi: Daigu, are you picking a fight with me? @Daigu Madoka
Meng Qi: You're no better than me when you talk to the Great Emperor!
Meng Qi: The Great Emperor's stare.JPG
Meng Chuan: So much for the bond we forged reading and studying together!
Daigu Madoka: Drama queen...
Zhang Sanfeng: The Great Emperors of the Shrouding the Heavens World are far too lonely.
Zhang Sanfeng: Ten thousand years from now, the Great Emperor might not have a single familiar face left.
Ancient One: The whole world falls silent? Is that how you say it?
Ancient One had also learned some new expressions from Meng Qi. While roaming the Multiverse, she paid extra attention to such things. In other words, she was secretly catching up on her lessons!
Meng Qi: Luckily, the Great Emperor still has us treasured Group Friends!
Meng Chuan's expression remained unchanged when he saw that comment, but he clenched his fists. Treasured, my foot!
Daigu Madoka: I wonder what a Great Emperor who's just as imposing in the group would be like.
Meng Qi: @Daigu Madoka, have you ever seen anyone maintain solemn dignity while spamming a group chat and talking to people online?
Meng Qi: Lord Tiga, what an impressive display of authority!
Daigu Madoka: Next time I stream, I'm definitely muting you!
Daigu Madoka: Why hasn't the Demon Buddha broken free of his seal yet? I want to go give him a hand!
Meng Qi: Demon Buddha, your friend.
Meng Qi: Little Meng, your dearest friend.
Ignoring the comments from these treasured Group Friends, Meng Chuan rose and said with a smile, "I'll be leaving now. When I have time, I'll come back to raise a cup and chat with you, Brother Jiang."
Jiang Daoran escorted Meng Chuan out of the Jiang Family grounds. At Meng Chuan's repeated insistence, he stayed behind and watched him leave.
After Meng Chuan disappeared, a Jiang Family elder looked at Jiang Daoran and asked, "Family head, why did the Great Emperor come to our Jiang Family?"
"He merely came to see the traces our ancestor left behind. With his exalted status as a Great Emperor, could he possibly covet anything belonging to our Jiang Family?" Jiang Daoran said expressionlessly.
The Jiang Family elders fell silent. After a moment, one elder said, "This Dao Beginning Great Emperor became an emperor far too quickly. Otherwise, the family head..." His voice was filled with bitterness.
Jiang Daoran did not respond to that elder, but inwardly he thought, Yes, far too quickly...
Meng Chuan had become an emperor at six hundred years old. Yet when he did, even the very best of the other heavenly prodigies had only just reached the Quasi-Emperor realm!
Such a pace of attaining the Dao was enough to drive anyone to despair. Before even the Forbidden Zone Supremes could react, Meng Chuan had already passed his great emperor tribulation, weathering three successive great calamities and becoming an emperor outright!
According to the Fate Instance belonging to Meng Chuan that Ancient One had uploaded, the Forbidden Zone Supremes would only emerge and unleash the dark turmoil when Meng Chuan was seven hundred years old.
But because Meng Chuan had transmigrated here, he became an emperor at six hundred. Unless the Forbidden Zone Supremes themselves could no longer hold on, they generally would not choose to unleash the dark turmoil while an Extreme Dao expert lived in the world.
Meng Chuan could even be said to have unknowingly prevented a dark turmoil...
Zhang Sanfeng: Great Emperor, where are you going next?
Meng Qi: Go to a Forbidden Zone! How can you call yourself a Heavenly Emperor level expert without flattening a Forbidden Zone or two to prove it?
Meng Chuan shook his head when he saw Meng Qi's words. With his current combat strength, he could pacify one or two Forbidden Zones under ideal circumstances.
But Forbidden Zones could run. If Meng Chuan stormed into one and killed its Supremes as effortlessly as crushing rotten wood, the other Life Forbidden Zones would definitely flee far away.
"I'll visit the Ji Family next. The Void Emperor deserves a visit from me."
This time, Meng Chuan did not walk slowly to the Ji Family. After leaving the Jiang Family, he arrived at the Ji Family the very next second.
The instant Meng Chuan appeared at the Ji Family's entrance, someone inside sensed him.
Meng Chuan had never concealed his aura.
The person who emerged from the Ji Family was a woman. Her features were not dazzlingly beautiful, but they were quite pleasing to the eye, and she possessed a heroic air.
Ji Lianxing raised an eyebrow at Meng Chuan. "Why have you come to my Ji Family instead of going to Jade Lake, Great Emperor?"
Meng Qi: Is something going on? Why does she think the Great Emperor should be going to Jade Lake?
Zhang Sanfeng: Romance?
Daigu Madoka: You understand romance too, True Person?
Zhang Sanfeng: Do I look like someone who does?
Zhang Sanfeng had once harbored beautiful dreams of romance too. Unfortunately, even now, he remained a hundred-year-old virgin.
These days, Zhang Sanfeng behaved nothing like an elderly man from ancient times in the group. During Meng Chuan's long seclusion, the other four had all changed considerably from how they had been at the beginning.
Nor did Zhang Sanfeng shy away from discussing his past. He had poured his heart out to the others... Unfortunately, Meng Chuan had not been there.
Meng Chuan paid little attention to the comments that had abruptly changed tone. Group Friends did not need romance. It would only slow down their group-chat spamming!
"I've just come from Jade Lake and the Jiang Family," Meng Chuan explained.
"Now I've come specifically to visit the Ji Family."
Ji Lianxing shot Meng Chuan a sidelong look. "Here to mooch tea?"
Meng Qi: Exactly! Wherever he goes, he drinks!
Meng Chuan smiled at the woman before him, who paid no heed to his status as a Great Emperor and whose manner of speaking had never changed. She really was Hu Niu. Back on the Emperor Path, almost everyone had suffered a lashing from that tongue!
"The Void Emperor's lifetime of achievements towered over the heavens. He quelled the dark turmoil, suppressed the Undying Mountain, fought the Extraterrestrial Gods, and preserved a haven of peace for the Human Race. It is only right that I come to pay my respects."
And the Void Emperor indeed deserved Meng Chuan's bow!
Seeing Meng Chuan's solemn expression, Ji Lianxing's eyes shifted thoughtfully. Deciding that he did not seem to have come looking for trouble, she led him into the Ji Family grounds.
After paying his respects at the relics left by the Void Emperor, Meng Chuan once again found enlightenment ancient tea set before him...
How did a dignified Great Emperor like me end up looking as though I really came here to mooch tea?!!
