I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2252
Chapter 2252: Chapter 2251: Xiao Guizi, Hello — The World Is in My Hands
In the Yuan Central Continent, the True Martial Holy Sect was a grand sect with a significant lineage.
Though it later declined, it once shone brightly.
It led an era.
Five emperors from one sect.
During this time, it produced the Ancestor True Martial Great Emperor, the Empress, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades, the Divine Travel Great Emperor, and the Eternal Ancient Great Emperor.
The splendor of these five emperors indeed led the True Martial Holy Sect to forge its unique path.
However, no matter how glorious the previous True Martial Holy Sect was, it cannot truly compare to the True Martial Holy Sect in the current Nine Domains World.
After all, the world’s foundation is different, and so is the upper limit for the strongest.
There is no doubt that the current True Martial Holy Sect is an absolute powerhouse in the Heaven Extreme Realm.
Liu Sanjian, along with many disciples, was amazed along the way.
Liu Sanjian was one of the most representative ancestors of the True Martial Holy Sect, and of course, besides him, there was the current sect master of the True Martial Holy Sect named Guan Wumian.
Previously, when Xu Zimei went to the True Martial Holy Sect, he had even met him.
A large part of the sect master position was recognized by Xu Zimei.
Of course, what brought Xu Zimei the most joy was seeing Xiao Guizi again.
Xiao Guizi was now very old.
Xu Zimei understood that Xiao Guizi’s life had been radiant.
If Xiao Guizi wished, Xu Zimei could completely extend his lifespan and prolong it.
But Xiao Guizi refused.
To naturally grow old or die like this is the best outcome.
For him, cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and life had achieved perfection.
A long time ago, Xiao Guizi no longer concerned himself with the affairs of the True Martial Holy Sect, nor did he care about his current looks.
An old and frail man.
Yet when he walks, his back remains upright, and his gaze is resolute.
Under the guidance of the Nine Secrets Taoist, they quickly met the True Martial Great Emperor and several other ancestors.
Seeing the legendary ancestors right in front of them, no longer just portraits or elusive myths.
But living, breathing people of flesh and blood.
Countless disciples were filled with excitement.
Led by Liu Sanjian, everyone knelt down.
“Greetings Ancestor and all ancestors.”
The True Martial Great Emperor raised his hand with a smile, saying, “Everyone shouldn’t be overly formal. From now on, this world only has one True Martial Holy Sect.
This is also your home.”
“Since you have just arrived in the Nine Domains World, there are many things yet unclear, which can be gradually learned later.”
“I will not interfere with your decisions, whether to stay in the True Martial Holy Sect or venture into the outside world, it’s your freedom.”
“Ancestor, we won’t leave the sect,” many couldn’t help expressing.
The True Martial Great Emperor nodded slightly.
Actually, there’s nothing more to say, after all, everyone won’t be in the same world as him.
He merely encouraged them with a few simple words.
Next, it was Nine Secrets Taoist’s turn to arrange for everyone.
With so many joining, proper handling is necessary, otherwise, conflicts could arise which would be detrimental to everyone.
…
As for Xiao Guizi, he did not come here.
Because Xu Zimei met with Xiao Guizi separately.
Their meeting place was in front of a river within the True Martial Holy Sect.
Xu Zimei was there fishing.
Fishing can calm the mind and allow one’s spirit to empty.
Seeing Xiao Guizi arriving, Xu Zimei smiled and said, “Aren’t you considering letting me extend your lifespan?”
“Extending life, then what does it matter? To live on just like this seems quite meaningless.”
Xiao Guizi sat down beside him.
Smiling, he said, “Once there were many days and nights I pondered, what if I had chosen to come to this side of the world with you to challenge the world’s pinnacle, would the result be better?
Rather than become an old man waiting for death.”
“It’s not too late now,” Xu Zimei smiled.
“It’s too late. I’ve grown old, so very old,” Xiao Guizi looked at his reflection on the river’s surface.
Suddenly, he smiled in relief.
“Actually, now I have no attachments.
The only wish is to hope that one day you succeed in challenging heaven, and to see you achieve what you’ve pursued all your life is enough.”
Xu Zimei smiled.
He asked, “Arriving here, what do you think of this world?”
“Aside from being big, there’s not much difference,” Xiao Guizi laughed.
“I still prefer the land of the True Martial Holy Sect.”
“People will always be nostalgic when they grow old,” Xu Zimei said.
“Indeed, old,” Xiao Guizi smiled.
“What plans do you have next?” Xu Zimei asked.
“Prepare to spend my old age here, waiting for the day you challenge heaven,” Xiao Guizi smiled.
He gazed at Xu Zimei.
Finally, he said seriously, “You will surely succeed, right?”
“Of course,” Xu Zimei’s voice had just fallen when his fishing rod suddenly lifted.
“A fish has taken the bait.”
It was a large Spirit Fire Fish.
Water and fire typically don’t mix, but the Spirit Fire Fish was like a flame, its proximity radiating reheat.
Yet the Spirit Fire Fish was also peculiar.
It cannot leave the water, for leaving it means death.
Thus, for most fish, water and fire were incompatible, but this conflict was difficult to form upon it.
This was a contradiction of water and fire.
Xu Zimei handed the fish to Xiao Guizi.
Smiling, he said, “As you grow older, you should nourish yourself more.”
“On the day I challenge heaven, I’ll personally invite you onto the battle stage to see me off.”
“It’s a deal,” Xiao Guizi solemnly replied.
……
Three days passed swiftly.
On this day, the True Martial Great Emperor opened his eyes from the state of entering meditation.
The void of the Yuan Central Continent began to fluctuate.
The True Martial Great Emperor once again transformed into the Heavenly Dao, his voice resonating throughout the world.
“The time has come, the gates between the domains close. From today onward, the Yuan Central Continent will utterly become a land of battle.”
With the sound falling and rising again.
Only the rumbling sounds could be heard.
In the void, the once open portal began to close bit by bit.
In the firmament, day and night reversed momentarily.
The sun and moon continuously cycled, the interlacing of day and night seemed to occur in an instant.
The entire world, whether space or time, appeared in disarray.
Previously to the True Martial Great Emperor.
At this moment, the Yuan Central Continent no longer had rules.
All rules must serve him alone.
Whatever rules he needed, the world had to transform accordingly.
In the past, world rules were fixed, day and night appeared cyclically.
Spring, summer, fall, and winter likewise emerged according to a pattern.
Now it wasn’t so; the Yuan Central Continent resembled a soft ball, needing to become whatever the True Martial Great Emperor desired.
As for those who chose to remain, the True Martial Great Emperor no longer concerned himself with them.
After all, they chose for themselves, and the True Martial Great Emperor had provided the opportunity.
At this moment, all the rules of the Yuan Central Continent were entirely in the hands of the True Martial Great Emperor.
At this very moment, Xu Zimei, holding the Tyrant Shadow, stepped forward.
For him, this was the prime opportunity for their battle.
