Chapter 449: Decreed to Guard the North, Great Emperor Zhenwu’s Inheritance! Those Ones to Face the Tribulation! The Terrifying Old Monk!
Great Emperor Zhenwu, by imperial decree, guarded the northern direction and presided over the Xuanwu position[1]. For such an immortal to reveal his divine presence, the words “earth-shattering” were not an exaggeration.
Xiao Ran and Zhang Wei both wore expressions of deep respect.
They were both disciples of the Daoist lineage, so toward such a mighty celestial of the Celestial Court, a Daoist god of the highest order, their reverence was absolute.
“How many years has it been... Someone has finally come here again. I have waited far too long.” A divine phantom manifested upon the statue of Great Emperor Zhenwu, slowly stepping down from it. A heavy divine aura spread outward, as oppressive as Mount Tai crashing down.
Xiao Ran and Zhang Wei couldn’t help collapsing to their knees, while Li Yanchu remained standing in place calmly.
“Boy, why do you not kneel when seeing this Emperor?” Great Emperor Zhenwu’s voice was majestic and vast, enough to shake one’s soul.
Anyone harboring ill intent would not dare meet his gaze, and their spirit would shatter on the spot.
“Is there a rule that one must bow when meeting a god?” Li Yanchu said.
Zhang Wei’s mouth twitched. Holy crap!As expected of Senior Cao Cao, he’s as tough as pure steel!
Great Emperor Zhenwu was stunned for a moment, then laughed instead.
“Hah! For a mortal cultivator to produce someone as interesting as you... Very well, if you will not bow, then so be it.” He did not pursue the matter further.
“You two may rise as well,” he addressed the kneeling Xiao Ran and Zhang Wei.
