Chapter 2242 For Whom Did We Work So Hard?
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“If you are all from the same lineage, then your teacher…”
The Acheron God Monarch felt so stifled that he really felt like fainting there and then, and the other God Monarchs also had eyes widened in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.
They had long heard from these youths that they had a teacher back when they fetched them from the Celestial Mountain, but which cultivator did not have a teacher?
So, they did not think much of the matter at all.
After all, they could not even fathom the possibility that all eleven successors of the six of them would actually have the same teacher…
Just who in the world was their teacher?
How did he manage to gather so many prodigies?
“Ah, our teacher is…”
Yuan Tao was just about to reveal the identity of their teacher when Zhao Ya suddenly shot him a cold glare. “Shut up!”
“Y-yes!” Yuan Tao immediately sealed his mouth as cold sweat dripped down his back.
Only after hearing Zhao Ya’s shout did he remember that their teacher was humble and low profile and hated to be in the limelight.
Revealing his identity before these six God Monarchs would go against his virtue of humility, and it would be considered an unfilial act from him.
Furthermore, during this period, they had been cultivating in the Spacetime Mirror, which resulted in them being isolated from the rest of the world. As a result, they had no idea of their teacher’s current situation.
There was no saying that they might be putting their teacher in a bad position by revealing his identity.
Zhao Ya clasped her fist and replied, “Your Sovereignties, pardon us, but our teacher seeks to live a quiet and peaceful life. He’s little-known in the Firmament, and he wishes to remain as such. As his disciple, we don’t dare reveal his identity without his permission, so… I beg for your understanding.”
“To be able to groom so many outstanding disciples, your teacher must be an outstanding individual…” God Monarch Acheron said, but halfway through his words, the spiritual energy around them suddenly grew chaotic.
The Flood of Spiritual Energy was beginning!
“Since all of you belong to the same lineage, it would be too cruel to ask you to fight against one another. Let’s do it this way instead. The treasures will belong to whoever obtains them first, and no snatching is allowed!”
Even though they were caught off guard by this turn of events, what had happened had already happened. If they were not going to compete by strength, they could only compete based on luck.
Right before everyone was going to enter the Flooding Sea, the Cloud Dragon Emperor suddenly said, “Many dangers lurk in the Flooding Sea. You might be our successors, but you still need to be careful.”
Zhao Ya and the others turned their eyes over.
“Over in the Sky of Spirit Origin, there is a young man around your age. Due to his exceptional talent, he has managed to receive the World Conferment to become the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies,” the Cloud Dragon Monarch said. “If you encounter him, make sure to protect your soul well. He possesses exceptional soul cultivation, so it would be best for you to suppress him through physical means.”
“Indeed. You are all from the same lineage, right? If it comes down to it, it might be better for all of you to stay together. That will lower the danger considerably,” God Monarch Zhuoyang added.
He might have said that his Conferred God Kings did not fear Zhang Xuan, but truthfully, he did not really mean it.
The Conferred God King of the Nine Skies…
This was a title that only the Heaven Subjugation Monarch had obtained in the whole history of the Firmament, and his fighting prowess was there for everyone to see.
They were not confident of having their Conferred God Kings moving independently, but if all eleven of them made a move simultaneously…
Even if that Conferred God King of the Nine Skies cultivated his physical body and zhenqi cultivation to the highest level, he would still be no match for all of them!
“Rest assured, we’ll look out for one another. No matter who the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies is, if he dares court trouble, we’ll make sure to return the favor to him,” Zhao Ya replied with a nod
As kin from the same lineage, they needed to take care of one another. That was how their teacher had taught them. They could not let him down.
“Good. Go in then!”
Hearing those words, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief.
The Cloud Dragon Monarch, God Monarch Zhuoyang, God Monarch Fumeng, and the others tore apart the space before them to send their respective Conferred God Kings into the Flooding Sea.
“Hahaha!”
After everyone entered the Flooding Sea, Fairy Linglong was finally unable to restrain herself any further and burst into laughter.
“Linglong, what are you so happy about?” the Cloud Dragon Monarch asked.
“Well, it’s just that I thought of something that is really interesting, so I couldn’t stop myself from chuckling,” Fairy Linglong replied as her eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons.
“Do you something? Tell us, and we can discuss it together,” the Acheron God Monarch said.
“Are you sure you want to hear it?” Fairy Linglong asked with a glint in her eyes.
The crowd nodded. “Of course!”
“Well, I guess it should be fine to tell you about this…” Fairy Linglong muttered before chuckling to herself softly. Then, she raised her head and said, “Aren’t you worried that Zhang Xuan might obtain innumerable treasures in the Flood of Spiritual Energy and become the next Heaven Subjugation Monarch?”
“Well…”
There was no one who replied to Fairy Linglong’s question.
None of them would admit it, but they were indeed worried about Zhang Xuan’s growth. Dealing with one Heaven Subjugation Monarch was enough; they did not want to witness the rise of another one.
If they were challenged and defeated one after another once more, just as the Heaven Subjugation Monarch had done… their egos would not be able to take it!
Thinking about everything that had happened over the course of the past forty years, they felt so incredibly indignant.
“Do you hope that the successors you have groomed will defeat Zhang Xuan and bring the treasures of the Flooding Sea over to you so that you can overcome your current bottlenecks?” Fairy Linglong asked once more.
God Monarch Zhuoyang lost his patience and harrumphed coldly. “Linglong, just what are you trying to get at? We all saw the battle two days ago, and I don’t believe that you weren’t moved by what you have seen!”
They might be God Monarchs, but they, too, wished to be stronger.
It was their previous negligence during the Flood of Spiritual Energy that brought about the swift rise of the Heaven Subjugation Monarch, and they were not ready to allow the rise of the second one. It was for this reason that they had nurtured their own batch of experts.
“Just get straight to the point!” God Monarch Fumeng harrumphed impatiently.
“Is there any point in you playing such games with us?” The Cloud Dragon Monarch was also swiftly losing his patience.
“I was about to get to the point…”
Just thinking about how they would react to the news made Fairy Linglong chuckle beneath her breath once again. Seeing how she had managed to build up the mood to the climax, she finally embarked on the grand reveal. “Aren’t you curious who Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and the others’ teacher is? It just so happens that I know who he is!”
“Who is…” Halfway through his words, the face of a person suddenly surfaced in Demon Monarch Qiankun’s mind. His body stiffened as he asked warily, “Could it be that…”
“Indeed. It’s the person you have been worrying about all along… Zhang Xuan!” Fairy Linglong said gleefully.
After becoming God Monarchs, there were very few things that could faze them. This was the first time she had seen such a look on the faces of her old companions.
And it was all because of that young man…
To make things worse, the young man did not even know what he had done!
There was nothing more frustrating than being infuriated with a person, but the other party did not even know what he had done!
“This…”
The five God Monarchs glanced at one another as a burst of inspiration flowed into their heads. A lot of classical poems surfaced at the top of their mind.
Cities I have conquered an acre of mine none, for whom have I been working so hard?
A hundred flowers I have harvested for honey, only to have it all taken away!
How I resent the years I spent weaving golden threads, all to deliver a gown to your hands!
…
God Monarch Lingxi is your girlfriend, the Deathless Monarch is your tamed beast, and you are the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies… As if that’s not enough, the successors whom we have groomed with great difficulty are your disciples too!
Feeling deeply suffocated, the five God Monarchs clutched their hearts tightly. They felt like there was something strangling them.
They had hoped that they could make use of the Flood of Spiritual Energy to rise through the ranks and become as powerful as the Heaven Subjugation Monarch, but just like that, all their hopes had shattered.
How could such a thing happen? Was there no justice in the world?
