Chapter 904: Emperor Peafowls Successor Candidates (1/2)
Lin Yanyu was feeling as pleased as punch lately, but he was nagged by a tiny bit of worry Thankfully, it was the happy kind Half a year ago, after leaving the desolate wildlands, he had heeded ‘Daoist Huang’s’ suggestion and traveled to Veluriya that was held every sixty years was about to start, and that even wandering cultivators had the qualification to participate in the event and potentially advance their status
This news invigorated Lin Yanyu greatly He was a stray dog in Pillfire City, and Veluriyam Capital was Pillfire City’s sworn eneht be able to take revenge for his family someday If he allowed this chance to slip by, he couldn’t see a sliver of hope of taking revenge, even if he were to live for another few thousand years Therefore, he had registered to participate in the Veluriya He would be participating in the pill battles as a wandering cultivator
Lin Yanyu was very confident in his own pill dao talent However, he are that there was a legend as even greater than hi Zhen was Lin Yanyu’s idol This was especially true after he’d heard that Pill King Zhen had defeated that insufferably arrogant Pill King Ji Lang in the clash for the Longevity Pill After all, Pill King Ji Lang was an old eneht that the true mastermind behind the Lin Fa
That hy Lin Yanyu quite ad While ‘Daoist Huang’s’ suggestion was one of the reasons why he came to Veluriya Zhen was also a factor However, he couldn’t find any news about Pill King Zhen no matter how he tried to ask around When the Veluriyain, and after countless pill dao geniuses had requested specifically for Pill King Zhen to be the judge of the pill battles, Lin Yanyu finally learned that the fa Zhen had been absent from Veluriyam Capital for quite some time already This news disappointed hiressed triust the top hundred wandering cultivators Plenty of forces within Veluriyaht out Lin Yanyu in an attes were released Out of all the powers, the most proactive faction of them ithout a doubt, Emperor Shura’s faction However, Lin Yanyu still hadn’t h Veluriyam Capital’s state of affairs wasn’t very clear to hireat emperor in Veluriya Zhen was closer to Emperor Peafowl Therefore, Lin Yanyu didn’tmuch enticement
However, the top hundred names were about to be immediately declared After that, the semi-finals would ensue to decide the top thirty-six cultivators ould enter the pill paGoda of Veluriyam PaGoda The pill paGoda contained every pill dao inheritance that ever existed in Veluriyam PaGoda It was a secret vault of pill dao Here, there would be many opportunities
…
Inside Sacred Peafowl Mountain
“Your Majesty, the top hundred names of the pill battles have already been finalized What will be your plan after this? I shall execute it straight away,” Cloudsoar Monarch asked
Emperor Peafowl smiled faintly, “I have no plans for now, I’m afraid What would be your plan of action, Cloudsoar?”
Cloudsoar Monarch was slightly caught off guard by the counter question He sht now is somewhat aard, Your Majesty Everyone thinks that you are planning to abdicate soon May I know if this is true, Your Majesty?”
Naturally, everyone in Sacred Peafowl Mountain was very concerned with this question If Emperor Peafowl truly planned to abdicate the throne to Ee inactivity as of late would make a lot of sense But if the emperor truly planned to abdicate, he should have inforiven them some time to prepare themselves mentally, shouldn’t he have?
E, however In fact, he hadn’t revealed even the slightest hint of his plans His silence caused the situation to becoh everyone had all sorts of guesses, no one could tell what the e for sure As Emperor Peafowl’sto figure out his emperor’s true intentions But he’d failed, and now he could no longer stop hihed softly His gaze on Cloudsoar Monarch suddenly turned ful, “Did you know that I sensed the heavenly dao a thousand years ago?”
His ansas like a clap of su so loudly in Cloudsoar Monarch’s ears that he was stunned for a very, very long time “Your Majesty… did you just say that you’ve sensed the heavenly dao?”
E it any longer I’ve tried to suppress this feeling for a thousand years, but the heavenly dao is unavoidable once you sense it the first time Emperor Shura is full of ae to rise to power and confront me for the throne Sadly, I can only wait for him to come to a decision, but even to this day, he still lacks the courage and the strength to make that move” Emperor Peafowl spoke as if he wasn’t included in the story he was currently narrating In fact, he sounded a little despondent “Everyone thinks that I a old, and that Emperor Shura will replacethat he can replace me as soon as possible”
Cloudsoar Monarch was speechless This revelation was just too surprising to hiht so great that no one could understand him Now, it would appear that the outside world’s so-called worries were completely unnecessary
Emperor Peafowl had sensed the heavenly dao and wanted to abdicate the throne since a long tireat emperor who had sensed the heavenly dao was the equivalent of a half-step empyrean cultivator If he truly wished to hold onto his authority, then no one could have replaced him There was only one reason why he would abdicate his throne, and that was because Emperor Peafowl had transcended to a level where worldly power no longersince surpassed everything in Veluriyam Capital Co as frogs at the bottom of a well
Cloudsoar Monarch was absorbed in emotions of pride and sadness for a while He was proud because the eiance to was so capable that he’d actually sensed the heavenly dao But he was also sad because the emperor would eventually heed the call of the heavenly dao and leave Veluriyam Capital one day If that day were to coo, and ould be its fate in the future? Would the glory that Sacred Peafowl Mountain hadtime be lost forever after his absence? And would they really have to allow Emperor Shura’s faction to take control of Veluriyam Capital?
“You don’t need to worry about this, Cloudsoar For a thousand years I was troubled by this predicament, but the answer finally ca that once enshrouded Veluriyahtened me to a whole new path”
