"May I ask Your Excellency's name?"
The Great Emperor used the precious inter-boundary sound transmission to ask.
"Tell me yours first, let's see if you have the qualifications to speak with me." Chen Xia's words were very arrogant.
"Wu Xi Great Emperor."
"What?" Chen Xia frowned.
Wu Xi Great Emperor repeated himself again thinking that he did not hear clearly.
Only then did Chen Xia understand, but then he thought there was nothing to fear. He was indeed chasing the Dao Ancestor. Moreover, this Great Emperor spoke so humbly after arriving in the Great Death Realm. He certainly did not recognize his identity.
There's nothing to fear!
Chen Xia sneered in disdain, and continued, "I've never heard of your name before. You must be a young Emperor who just came out. How many Daos have you cultivated?"
Wu Xi Great Emperor's eyebrows were tightly knitted. In all these years since he became a Great Emperor, this was the first time he felt a little apprehensive. In a soft voice, he replied,
"I have... cultivated one Dao."
Chen Xia let out a cold laugh. "You dare to probe me after cultivating just one Dao. I really don't know whether to say you're gutsy or fearless. If it were the past, I would have crossed boundaries with one hand and hammered you to death!"
As he finished speaking, the entire interface trembled, resonating, as if agreeing with him.
This was the result of Chen Xia's connection with the Great Death Realm's interface will.
Wu Xi Great Emperor naturally sensed it too. His body trembled slightly, marveling at Chen Xia's aura. He quickly said,
"I have truly offended Your Excellency. Please accept my apologies here. I hope Your Excellency will not blame me. I am willing to compensate Your Excellency with heavenly treasures and earthly treasures as a token of my sincerity."
"Hmph, heavenly treasures and earthly treasures?" Chen Xia sneered in disdain. "What heavenly treasures or earthly treasures could possibly catch my eye? You really take me for one of those inexperienced cultivators!"
As he spoke later, his words already carried a chill.
Wu Xi Great Emperor's expression tightened. He was shocked that this mysterious figure was not moved by heavenly treasures and earthly treasures. He became more convinced of his identity. He hurriedly apologized again.
"This junior did not have that intention. It was truly an unintentional act. Please do not take it to heart."
Chen Xia continued sneering. "It's just that recently over the past hundred thousand years, my temper has improved after cultivating the Fifth Great Dao, so I no longer like killing. Otherwise, I wouldn't say pleasant things about how your situation would end up."
"Speaking of which, the last cultivator I killed was a Great Emperor who cultivated Three Daos, 170,000 years ago."
Seemingly feeling the impact was not enough, Chen Xia added.
"Hehe."
Wu Xi Great Emperor's mind trembled, marveling at Chen Xia's strength. At the same time, he was also surprised by another thing - the exceptionally valuable inter-boundary sound transmission that Chen Xia casually used.
Little did he know, this was also due to the Great Death Realm's interface will. Chen Xia was now half the Great Death Realm's interface will. Naturally, he could freely converse with cultivators from other realms in the Great Death Realm.
Wu Xi Great Emperor did not know this. He respectfully asked, "May I know what I can do to earn Your Excellency's forgiveness?"
"There's no need to speak of forgiveness. I can only say that my temper has improved so I endured without killing you, nothing major. I just hope you won't peek again, it's very impolite." Chen Xia casually replied.
Wu Xi Great Emperor hurriedly nodded. "Your Excellency is magnanimous. Encountering Your Excellency today is truly the blessing of Wu Xi's three lifetimes."
"Indeed it is." Chen Xia nodded in acknowledgement. Then he asked again, "Which realm are you from?"
Wu Xi Great Emperor respectfully replied, "A cultivator from the Immortal Realm."
"Hmm, your background is barely acceptable. It's just that your strength at One Dao is really too weak. You still need more cultivation," Chen Xia casually commented.
Wu Xi Great Emperor's eyes lit up. He hurriedly asked again, "May I trouble Your Excellency for some guidance? To be honest, this junior is indeed troubled. I have been stuck at One Dao for tens of thousands of years, unable to advance. My mind is lost, and I do not know how to cultivate Two Daos."
Chen Xia raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully,
"You still need guidance for Two Daos? Isn't that just a natural progression?"
"This junior is stupid and truly does not understand," Wu Xi Great Emperor respectfully said.
"It's fine. When you reach my age, you'll understand," Chen Xia casually waved his hand.
The conversation between the two fell into silence.
Indeed, neither had expected that they could chat so much. It was truly a case of one daring to boast and the other daring to believe.
If Chen Xia was less gutsy or Wu Xi Great Emperor was more suspicious, this conversation would not have happened.
But Wu Xi Great Emperor could not be fully blamed either. If you saw a lone back view sitting in the place abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, whose words alone made the Great Death Realm tremble, and who could casually utter the precious inter-boundary sound transmission, such performance generally would not let people rashly doubt.
What if it was real?
Wouldn't that lead to being hammered across boundaries and killed?
Chen Xia sneered again and suddenly asked,
"Do you know who are currently the top young geniuses?"
"The Divine Realm Prince, the Twilight Realm's Lord of Thousand Stars, the Supreme Realm's Junior Supreme Being, the Yin Yang Realm's Grand Heavenly Official, the Immortal Realm..."
When he got here, Wu Xi Great Emperor suddenly paused and stopped speaking.
"What about the Immortal Realm?" Chen Xia asked.
"There was once a genius named Xu Zhen in the Immortal Realm. He could have become a Great Emperor, but sadly after returning from the Great Death Realm, he declined. His cultivation stopped advancing," Wu Xi Great Emperor replied.
Chen Xia asked,
"Hmm, if I wanted to groom an important piece, would it be better to choose the other geniuses, or the declined genius Xu Zhen from your Immortal Realm?"
Wu Xi Great Emperor's heart jumped. He respectfully asked again, "May this junior boldly ask, what exactly are Your Excellency's plans?"
"There is no harm telling you. I simply want to cultivate the Fifth Great Dao and then the Sixth Great Dao to become the Supreme Being. I will need some Great Emperors to assist me in this. So I want to groom a few Great Emperors as my confidants," Chen Xia casually said.
"Then Xu Zhen should be possible," Wu Xi Great Emperor hurriedly nodded. If Xu Zhen could become a Great Emperor, the Immortal Realm would gain more battle power. And he might even be able to pull this old eccentric into the Immortal Realm's camp.
Chen Xia slowly nodded. "Mm, then you can start grooming Xu Zhen for me first. Use the best pills and mystic arts to nurture Xu Zhen. After I cultivate the Fifth Great Dao, I will personally visit the Immortal Realm."
Wu Xi Great Emperor hurriedly nodded in agreement. He felt extremely delighted, thinking he had gained greatly.
To build relations with such an old eccentric, he should have hopes of cultivating Two Daos!
Chen Xia also smiled gleefully, feeling very happy. His comprehension of the Dao of Thunder also improved.
Scolding a Great Emperor at the Returning Sea Realm, this was the best manifestation of the Dao of Thunder.
Fearless and unyielding, standing tall above.
Fine thunder rumbled in Chen Xia's eyes. Most were dark purple grand saint thunder. There was also sparse top emperor black thunder flickering about. Apart from those, in the deepest depths of his eyes, there was an extremely sparse strand of...
Thoroughly Bright Thunder!
The Dao of Thunder had entered the room. It was on par with his other Three Daos.
All was ready.
Chen Xia's lone figure that sat for ages finally stood up.
The day I become a Quasi-Saint,
Will be the time I dominate all in the same realm!
Comprehending Four Daos and becoming a Quasi-Saint, only this one precedent in ancient and modern times.
The Great Death Realm had no stars.
Chen Xia was the most dazzling star.
