Chapter 1428: Chapter 886: Brother, It’s Actually You

This sentence may sound a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed the case.

At their level, if the forces they establish can’t bring positive benefits, they are actually a burden.

Among those present, each one who achieved the Fruits of Immortal King was once an unparalleled force, invincible in their prime, suppressing their peers, and stepping over countless corpses of their fellow cultivators to become a Heavenly Pride of their era, one who was the most top-tier and brilliantly talented hero of their time.

An era may give birth to at most two or three Immortal Kings, and any one of them should not be underestimated.

In other words, anyone of them is the strongest who emerged from life-and-death battles, and is naturally of a meticulous mind.

Many Immortal Kings exchanged glances secretly, pondering over the Head of Liu Village’s intentions in spreading this news at this time.

They certainly didn’t believe it was a coincidence.

Indeed, the birth of an Emperor is an unprecedented event, but Liu Village could have kept this news within and not let them know about it.

After all, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor at a critical moment definitely has the power to strike first and is also a closely guarded secret, like some Sects where, on the surface, the Sect Leader is the strongest, but in reality, there’s a reclusive Supreme Elder.

But Liu Village did not do this.

Even when they came to the feast, the seating was arranged just the same, without the slightest hint of favoritism or concealment.

It’s unlikely that Village Chief Lin didn’t know they would come here in advance.

Although they have shamelessly stayed in the village for a while, after all, they are outsiders; even if Liu Village is magnanimous, they likely have someone monitoring their every move in secret.

Even if they haven’t sent anyone, they should have other methods to monitor their actions.

Even if we step back ten thousand steps, assume Village Chief Lin did not know of their presence here or didn’t use any means to monitor them.

However, they have been sitting here for quite some time, and each of them stands out with different clothing from the villagers, wearing the ancient attire from their era of fame. During this time, there have been quite a few people who have seen them, and there was certainly enough time to report this matter upwards.

And the result?

Still none!

No one paid any attention to them from start to end.

That is to say, it was intentional to let them hear this news.

Could it be that they are hinting in a roundabout way that if they want to receive guidance to achieve Emperor’s Creation, they need to show their sincerity?!

Some hot-brained old Immortal Kings suddenly had a moment of clarity, feeling they might have hit upon the right idea.

It must be so, otherwise, why make such an announcement in their presence about something they clearly have no right to know.

And this way, the actions of Liu Village become explainable.

Suddenly, the thoughts of all the old Immortal Kings began to stir, as they started whispering in secret with acquaintances and friends.

Behind the scenes, it was lively, with the discussion among the various Immortal Kings reaching an unprecedented fever pitch.

However, their faces were one calmer than the next, looking like a walking embodiment of double best actor awards in the later eras.

As for the topic of discussion, it was simple: these Immortal Kings were discussing what kind of sincerity they must offer to gain the recognition of The Master of Liu Village and to unlock the door to Emperor’s Creation.

Although they had listened for free to a scripture reading by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor senior, that Realm was simply too Mysterious Profound, and even if they had gained a little insight, actually taking that step remained a chasmic gap, elusive and out of reach.

On the high platform built of bluestone, Old man Lin’s gaze was sharp, his amiable look concealing sharpness as he observed the reactions of the Immortal Kings from various forces below.

In his heart, he shook his head slightly.

That’s really thinking too much!

Although his Realm wasn’t high, his old wisdom was second to none, as he could discern people and judge matters. In the whole of Liu Village, there was hardly a second person who could compare with him.

Only Prince Nai, who possesses a Seven Apertures Delicate Heart, could,

Thus, that person had long become his right-hand man, and now assists him in managing the village affairs.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to continuously hold on to the position of the village chief–a post nearly second only to one person and above ten thousand people–with power unimaginable to others, and the Adult personally intervening to extend his life, forcibly elevating his Realm to levels he himself dared not even think of.

Old man Lin was very clear in his heart: affection is affection, but without true ability, even the deepest affection would fade.

Unless it was a life-and-death friendship, but how could he, a mere ant with modest skills, have such a bond with the Adult?! If there was one, it was the Adult saving him.

These ancestors of the various forces thought he was being subtle, but they were completely mistaken, as it was purely coincidental.

The village nearly encompasses all the world’s Heavenly Prides, unknown to others, but very clear to him, the village’s foundation is as vast as the sea, simply unimaginable.

From ordinary human weapons to Divine Weapons, from common wild beast meat to the flesh and blood of Pure Blood, Ten Evil level Divine Beasts…

Great and small, too numerous to count!

Your great sincerity is but self-perception, insignificant to Liu Village, to the Adult–it’s just a drop in the bucket.

“Grandpa Lin, which senior has entered the Emperor Realm?”

A village’s prideful child asked in a milky voice.

It was a little boy, about five or six years old, with a bald forehead except for a tuft of hair in the middle, looking very adorable, and one couldn’t help but want to touch that tuft of hair.
