Chapter 1506: Birth of the Primordial Lord of Heaven
"Are you truly here to pledge allegiance to His Majesty?"
Li Bai’s right hand condensed the Green Lotus Sword Anthem, pointing the sword at Emperor Tiantong, he asked in a cold voice.
The two Supreme Venerables stood together, warping the space around them, the magic ship beneath their feet violently trembling, as if it could shatter at any moment.
All beings on the magic ship looked on nervously, afraid that Li Bai would take action.
Facing the Green Lotus Sword Anthem, Emperor Tiantong felt a chill at his neck, and a killing intent so intense that it made his soul sting.
This man must not be made an enemy!
Emperor Tiantong thought to himself, but his face showed a smile, and he said calmly: "Of course, when it comes down to it, I have a certain destiny with the Heavenly Emperor, my enlightenment was all thanks to the Heavenly Emperor’s teachings."
Upon hearing this, Li Bai’s frown deepened.
They have heard from Ji Haoye and Xuandang before, that long ago when Chaos first split and the universe had not yet differentiated, the Heavenly Emperor gave sermons, guiding all beings on the path of cultivation, even helping many of today’s powerful beings to gain enlightenment—could Emperor Tiantong be one of them?
"Back then, I was inconspicuous among the beings, watching the Heavenly Emperor accept the Yuanchu Emperor, Liwu Demon Venerable, and Emperor of Yanxuan as disciples, a scene that remains vivid to this day," sighed Emperor Tiantong.
After the Chaos was shattered, he and Tianyuan Emperor left the Heavenly Emperor’s realm, heading to other Dao realms in search of opportunities. He was not the only one; many other beings who only wished to cultivate did the same, unwilling to get involved in tribal strife.
