Chapter 2432
Whether the Immortal Emperor or the Black Emperor, both possessed immense pride. They did not care about the survival of lesser sects, but the Azure Sovereign Sect held their heart and soul. Therefore, its status could never be allowed to be looked down upon.
The Black Emperor agreed from the side. "You are right. This Azure Sovereign Sect is a place guided by the Three Emperors and managed by the Three Empresses."
Although the Yanluo Empress had not yet returned to her position, given her talent and experiences, it was only a matter of time. The Black Emperor was not in a hurry, but she could speak of it freely. Moreover, the Yanluo Emperor had already returned to her position, and since she was Zhu Yanyi’s husband, she was rightfully the Yanluo Empress by virtue of her marriage, even if her cultivation had not yet reached that level.
Crash. Zhuge Hongwen and Ouyang Tianyun entered the room together and overheard the Black Emperor’s words. "Three Emperors and Three Empresses." Zhuge Hongwen felt her mind go blank. What kind of existence was this Azure Sovereign Sect? What kind of place had she stumbled into? No wonder her electronic scanning eyes, which worked on everyone else, failed to scan Zhu Yanyi and the other five. They were simply not on the same level of existence.
The Black Emperor and the others clearly knew Zhuge Hongwen had arrived. Seeing his expression, the Black Emperor smiled. "The little one is here."
To the Black Emperor and his peers, Zhuge Hongwen was indeed just a child.
Zhuge Hongwen was usually calm, but now he was numb. "You are really…" He pointed upward, unable to finish his sentence.
There was no other way to describe it. These people existed only in legends.
"Who we are is not important. What matters is that we watch over the Azure Sovereign Sect," the Black Emperor said with a smile. He then pointed at the Immortal Emperor. "Besides, he is the local boss of this Immortal Realm. If you have any issues, talk to him."
The Immortal Emperor looked at the Black Emperor. "Don’t you think it is cruel to scare a child?"
"Boring," the Black Emperor sighed deeply. "I am truly bored. Besides, I always tell the truth. I rarely scare people."
Yan Aohan sneered at the Black Emperor, then took out a fishing rod and went to the pond in the courtyard to fish. As he fished, he said, "If you hadn’t deliberately revealed your identity, would this child have known who you are?"
The Black Emperor smiled lightly. "I told him because this child has good aptitude. A little enlightenment now will benefit the entire Azure Sovereign Sect in the future. Besides, you and your wife cannot stay in the Azure Sovereign Sect forever. You need someone capable of holding things down. I think this little one is quite suitable."
Yan Aohan naturally knew that he and Zhu Yanyi would eventually leave. For Zhu Yanyi, the Azure Sovereign Sect was essentially a place to pass on medical and alchemy arts. Once these skills were transmitted, she could leave. She never thought about how the sect would develop afterward. As long as the medical and alchemy arts were inherited and did not decline, she was satisfied.
"Hmm." Yan Aohan pondered for a moment. "Indeed. This child is a good choice."
She then looked at Zhuge Hongwen. "Take advantage of the Black Emperor and the Immortal Emperor being here. Learn from them. The Azure Sovereign Sect will rely on you in the future."
Zhuge Hongwen was thrilled. In fact, no one present could remain calm. She had always believed the Azure Sovereign Sect’s rise was due to luck or perhaps some backing, but she thought that backing was limited. Now she realized she had been wrong. Zhu Yanyi having backing was inevitable, and most importantly, her backers were the Immortal Emperor and the Black Emperor.
"The mighty Yanluo Emperor actually pushes responsibility onto us. Are you not ashamed?" the Black Emperor said, looking at Yan Aohan with dissatisfaction.
Yan Aohan replied calmly, "No choice. Since you revealed the identity, you must handle it. I heard nothing.
Besides, I control the Yanluo Realm. Everything in the Yanluo Realm is different from the Immortal Realm and other planes. Even if I wanted to teach, I could not. You cannot expect a fine Immortal King to become a Yin Spirit in my Yanluo Hall. If you do not mind, I can gladly accept them. Of course, if the entire Azure Sovereign Sect moves there, I can accept that too. The Yanluo Realm is my territory. I can do as I please. I can also take care of my wife nearby."
The Immortal Emperor and the Black Emperor exchanged glances after hearing Yan Aohan’s threatening words. The Immortal Emperor finally spoke. "Enough. Regardless, opportunities for us to interact like this are rare. Let it be."
Moving the entire Azure Sovereign Sect to the Yanluo Realm was impossible. The disciples were personally trained by Zhu Yanyi and had a strong sense of belonging. They protected the Azure Sovereign Sect and, by extension, the Immortal Realm. Having more people sincerely protect the Immortal Realm was a huge surprise for the Immortal Emperor. Therefore, she would never allow the Azure Sovereign Sect to move to the Yanluo Realm.
Yan Aohan glanced at the Immortal Emperor. He knew his thoughts well.
Zhuge Hongwen was still in a state of shock. How could such great gods exist within the Azure Sovereign Sect?
Ouyang Tianyun sighed, then pulled Zhuge Hongwen out. They walked around nearby until Zhuge Hongwen regained his composure. He looked at Ouyang Tianyun. "You knew all along."
"Nonsense. My adoptive parents are among them," Ouyang Tianyun said with a sneer.
Zhuge Hongwen did not get angry. He just sighed deeply. "I originally thought the Azure Sovereign Sect was a small operation. But now, with these great gods as backing, a small operation seems meaningless."
Ouyang Tianyun felt a bad premonition. He looked at Zhuge Hongwen. "What do you plan to do?"
Zhuge Hongwen smiled lightly. "For now, we stay as we are. But I will develop slowly. When the disciples are mature, I will send them out to establish Azure Sovereign Sect branches in various planes."
Ouyang Tianyun opened his mouth in shock. "What are you doing?"
Zhuge Hongwen glanced at Ouyang Tianyun. "You know the Sect Master. Her thoughts are very simple. She wants the Azure Sovereign Sect disciples to go out and spread medical and alchemy arts. How can we just glorify it in the Immortal Realm? Naturally, we must send disciples out to spread it across all planes. Then, those who ascend from below will be our Azure Sovereign Sect disciples. How wonderful."
Zhuge Hongwen looked serious. "The Azure Sovereign Sect will definitely become a sacred place for medical and alchemy cultivators to yearn for."
Zhuge Hongwen finally understood why Zhu Yanyi had not cared about the Immortal Palace matters before. One of the Azure Sovereign Sect’s backers was the Immortal Emperor, so there was no need to worry.
