Meng Qi Proclaims Himself Emperor

Meng Chuan: Everyone's special reward included the removal of their world's shackles, right?

Zhang Sanfeng: Mine did. I've grown stronger.

Daigu Madoka: Mine did too. I've grown stronger.

The Ancient One: Mine did too. I've grown stronger.

Meng Qi: Mine did too, but I haven't grown stronger. (Sobs)

Meng Chuan: Weak.

Meng Chuan: You're still just a teeny-tiny billion miles from your world's limit.

Meng Qi: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. Come say that to me again in two hundred years, Great Emperor.

Meng Chuan choked. In two hundred years, Meng Qi would probably be on the verge of reaching the Other Shore. That damned leveling speed wasn't even fantasy anymore.

Meng Chuan: We're both surnamed Meng. For all we know, we were family before we crossed over.

Meng Chuan: In two hundred years, we'll be family again. Why make life hard for one of our own?

Daigu Madoka: You mean you're not family now, Great Emperor? Only in two hundred years?

Meng Chuan: ...

Meng Chuan: That's not what I meant! I never said that! Don't make things up!

Zhang Sanfeng: Hahahaha.

For a while, the Chat Group rang with laughter.

Zhang Sanfeng: A Group Store feature has opened too. It looks like we can trade using points.

Meng Qi: Let me try.

System notification: Administrator Meng Qi listed Arhat Fist.

Meng Qi: The Chat Group gave me fifty points!

Meng Qi: There's nothing in the store besides Arhat Fist. I guess we can only buy things other members list.

System notification: Administrator Meng Qi listed the first three levels of Golden Bell Shield.

System notification: Administrator Meng Qi listed Myriad Forms of Divine Movement.

System notification: Administrator Meng Qi listed Five Tigers Severing Gate Saber.

Meng Qi: I had a little more to spend in the Six Paths of Reincarnation this time, so I exchanged for some higher-level martial arts.

System notification: Administrator Meng Chuan listed the Dao Shi Scripture.

System notification: Administrator Meng Chuan listed the Zhe, Dou, Bing, and Jie arts of the Nine Secrets.

System notification: Administrator Meng Chuan...

Meng Qi: Filthy rich bastard!

Zhang Sanfeng: Filthy rich bastard!

The Ancient One: Filthy rich bastard!

Daigu Madoka: Filthy rich bastard!

Meng Chuan: You flatter me.

Meng Chuan: I got a little over 130,000 points in total.

System notification: Now that the Group Store is open, group red packets and designated red packets require points to use. Each member may send one designated red packet for free each month.

The Ancient One: This must be a restriction on us.

Meng Chuan: Fair enough. Without limits, who'd use the store? Long live freebies! (Grins)

Meng Qi: I never thought you were that kind of Great Emperor.

Zhang Sanfeng: I never thought you were that kind of Great Emperor.

The Ancient One: I did...

Daigu Madoka: ...

System notification: Administrator Meng Chuan purchased the first three levels of Golden Bell Shield.

Meng Chuan: @Meng Qi, Little Meng, check whether you received any points.

Meng Qi: I got ninety points. The first three levels of Golden Bell Shield cost three hundred points, so it looks like I get a thirty-percent cut when something sells.

Zhang Sanfeng: That's a nice bit of extra income.

System notification: Administrator Zhang Sanfeng listed Wudang Heart Method.

System notification: Administrator Zhang Sanfeng listed...

System notification: Administrator The Ancient One listed...

Daigu Madoka: ...

Daigu Madoka: Looks like I'm the only one with nothing to list.

Meng Chuan: Once you've mastered the knowledge of the ultra-ancient civilization, won't you take off? @Daigo Madoka

Meng Qi: Crow Takes a Plane! Tornado Destroys the Parking Lot!

System notification: Administrator Meng Chuan muted Administrator Meng Qi.

System notification: Administrator Meng Qi removed Administrator Meng Qi's mute.

Meng Qi: Feeling stupid now? This lord's an admin!

Meng Chuan: ...

Meng Chuan: What the hell is wrong with you?

Meng Chuan: @The Ancient One, Master, if it's convenient, could you send me a few more corpses of Dimensional Demons, or other powerful beings? If you can find cultivation methods from other systems, please collect those for me too.

As for whether the Dimensional Demons would resist being stuffed into red packets, Meng Chuan couldn't do anything about that. Red packets could only contain things that weren't alive anyway.

One way or another, they were doomed to die.

The Ancient One: No problem. Plenty of demon gods, devils, and strange beings covet Earth. I couldn't deal with them before, but now it's time to settle them all.

Meng Chuan: @Meng Qi, I'll send you some martial arts in a bit. I derived them according to your system. Most are techniques for the Aperture-Opening realm, with a few for the Exterior realm.

Meng Chuan: Find a way to exchange them for merit points, then use those points to get the opening sections of some peerless divine arts from the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Meng Qi: Ten in, nine out!

Meng Chuan: ...

Meng Chuan: Quit fooling around. How confident are you?

Meng Qi: It shouldn't be much trouble. I can have Zhiwei take them back to her master, then have her master give her some techniques of the same level. That'll basically launder them.

Meng Qi trusted Su Wuming. Besides, at this point, those great figures hadn't truly returned. As long as Meng Qi didn't do anything reckless, there should be little trouble.

Meng Chuan: Good. If you get the chance, obtain a couple of divine arts that can be cultivated to the Dharmakaya level. Tell me whatever it costs. There'll be plenty of benefits for you!

Meng Qi: Are you afraid I'll beat the stuffing out of you in two hundred years, Great Emperor? Is that why you're giving me a task that'll put me on ice now?

Meng Chuan: I'm only asking you to see if there's a chance. Everything I've requested applies only if you can keep yourself safe. If it can't be done, pretend I never said anything.

Meng Qi: Leave it to me!

Zhang Sanfeng: Are you preparing to go into seclusion again, Great Emperor?

Zhang Sanfeng had caught on. He and Meng Chuan both stood at the pinnacle of their worlds. Now that they could see the road ahead, a sense of urgency was only natural. He understood how Meng Chuan felt.

Especially since Meng Chuan's world was far from peaceful.

Meng Chuan: I'm going to study those demon god corpses the Master gave me and see whether they can help.

Meng Chuan: But you can still @ me in the group if anything comes up. I won't disconnect from the Chat Group this time.

Meng Chuan: I'm heading off now, everyone!

Daigu Madoka: Goodbye, Great Emperor!

The Ancient One: Goodbye, Great Emperor!

Zhang Sanfeng: Goodbye, Great Emperor!

Meng Qi: Get lost!

System notification: Administrator Meng Chuan muted Administrator Meng Qi.

Then Meng Chuan's avatar went gray.

System notification: Administrator Zhang Sanfeng muted Administrator Meng Qi again. Administrator Meng Qi cannot remove this mute.

Daigu Madoka: ???

Daigu Madoka: You can do that?

Zhang Sanfeng: This old Daoist had no idea either...

The Ancient One: The Great Emperor must be eager to set foot on the Red Dust Immortal Path, isn't he?

Daigu Madoka: His world is far too dark. From what Little Meng said, an ultimate darkness still awaits them.

Zhang Sanfeng: With the World Shackles of the Great Emperor's world removed, perhaps he'll take the True Immortal Path?

System notification: Administrator Zhang Sanfeng removed Administrator Meng Qi's mute.

System notification: Administrator Meng Qi...

Meng Qi: Adept, you went too far!

Meng Qi: The Great Emperor will definitely take the Red Dust Immortal Path. Taking the True Immortal path wouldn't necessarily let him become an immortal faster, but it would definitely be slower for reaching Immortal King!

Meng Qi: His world still has some time for him to grow. The Dark Turmoil isn't a major problem.

Meng Qi: Removing the World Shackles will also be a huge help to the Great Emperor as he transforms amid the Mortal World.

Zhang Sanfeng: Little Meng, if I didn't know your cultivation level, the way you lay it all out would make me think you were a peerless powerhouse.

The Ancient One: I'd think so too.

Daigu Madoka: Me too.

Meng Qi: Do you think the Great Emperor is the only emperor-level existence here? How shallow. Before I crossed over, I was an emperor too!

Meng Qi: Everyone called me the Keyboard Emperor!
