The Adventures Of The Young Master

The Soaring Immortal Empire was astounded to see this grand phenomenon. Who would think that the legendary Heavenly World Tree would appear in their territory? As the tree was very unpredictable, no one had the time and patience to calculate the impossible movements of the tree. As a matter of fact, many genius tried in the past only to be disappointed by the consistent results, failure.

"Ancestor Zhang, we must immediately dispatch people to secure the tree. This is only an almost once in a lifetime chance and we cannot afford to miss it!" An elder of the empire suggested. Currently, Ancestor Zhang was the one managing the empire. Due to God King's unexpected death, the Soaring Immortal Empire was in a turmoil and almost couldn't keep their heads high.

Losing God King was like losing their path and direction towards greaterness. After all, God King had been the sole reason why the empire was successful and powerful. However, now that they lost God King, even Ancestor Zhang didn't know what to do except keeping those greedy in power at bay.

To make matters worse, God King's legacy was nowhere to be found. Ancestor Zhang only said that they shouldn't expect to see the legacy as God King had hidden it for good. Without a Universal Law, how could once Soaring Immortal Empire remain as an empire which can bring weight to other empires?

"Elder Mus, I have already told you that we will be staying out of power struggle for a meanwhile. And that means, even consecutive legends appear, we will still sit by and watch them struggle for it." Ancestor Zhang was meditating, thus his voice was calm. But his tone had the deep seriousness in it.

"You cannot say that, Ancestor Zhang. We cannot let other powers have the chance to seize the opportunity for the Heavenly World Tree's blessing!" Elder Mus was agitated, "This is something we shouldn't let pass on! Even His Majesty God King aims for this tree!"

"Elder Mus, the situation of the empire is already dire as it is. Now, you want to add more enemies by trying to get that opportunity?" Ancestor Zhang's voice was turning cold, "You should be the first one to know about the current predicament the empire is facing, yet you cannot keep you greediness at check."

"You..." Elder Mus stuttered, "I just want the empire to rise once again. What's so wrong about that? We have the advantage as we are the closest to it and it's within our territory! If we don't show up despite it's in our territory, the other empires will look down on us and I don't want that to happen!"

Elder Xia, another elder of the empire, nodded in agreement, "Mus has a point. Ancestor Zhang, you cannot deny the fact that we currently in need of power to cover our losses. If we move now instead of arguing, we still have a high chance of getting the opportunity be blessed."

The other elders also approved of this. It was given that these elders would always seek for power, be it for the empire or for themselves.

Finally, Ancestor Zhang opened his eyes and looked at the five empire elders present, "Now I know why you five are only elder by names and titles. You all are a bunch of incompetent bastards who always seek for their own benefits."

"What did you say, Zhang?!" The short tempered Elder Go stood up and glared at Ancestor Zhang with raging eyes.

All of the elders were angered as of now be cause of Ancestor Zhang's words.

"I said you all are incompetent bastards who only seek for their own selfish gains. Why, do you have a qualm about the truth?" Ancestor Zhang had been keeping a thin line not to cross for countless of years for the sake of God King. After all, the latter owed the ancestors of this five current empire elders. However, now that God King was gone, Ancestor Zhang wouldn't be keeping the cordiality anymore, "If you all are unsatisfied with my words, why don't you come and fight me to the death, then? I would love to see what the pathetic elders of this empire are made of."

Ancestor Zhang bursted his aura making the atmosphere heavy and difficult to breathe. He examined the five elders and reveled a sneering expression, looking at them with mockery, "If not for you pathetic elders, God King might not have antagonized his only friend and kill him in the past. He might not have had the thought of becoming a sinner to save this world. If I want to blame someone for his death, it will be all on you, fuckers."

The ancestor had been keeping it all to himself. God King had taken care of these elders since they were young due to a promise and a debt from these elders' forefather. Sometimes, they were already unreasonable yet God King didn't get angry or hurt them.

And when these elders grew old, they sought power more than anyone else, to the extent that they even tried to use God King as their chess piece to move for a greater dominance. If we'd talk about the people who most wanted to conquer the empire, it'd be these elders.

The five elders were all horrified because of Ancestor Zhang's outburst. It seemed that he knew everything along making them scared shitless. After all, what could they do against this strongest ancestor of the empire?

The ancestor had lived for trillions of years now, too. Only a bit younger than God King.

Furthermore, the ancestor was one of the three strongest Dao Supremes of the world who could fight against laws shoulder to shoulder without dying! If this ancestor attack them, how could they defend against it?

"Do you really think I won't know of your stupid plans?" Ancestor Zhang smirked, "For all the sins you made, I can guarantee you a thousand methods of killing you. Not even other people will bark and complain about it.. After all, I'm the sole ruler of this empire now. Since you all want to antagonize me that much, how about we see this to the end?"
