with so many sea creatures attacking, others would think they would be in a panic and lose many lives at the start.But reality once again gave them a huge surprise!These disciples of the Wudao Sect,...For the title of "pretender emperor," Jiang Yun was no stranger.

That fellow named Haodi, the way his own father referred to him was "the false emperor."

...while the title of "False Emperor" clearly wasn't exclusive to Hao Di.

In the realm of chaos, there are certainly other imposters who claim to be emperors!

"As for the true Emperor, I needn't explain."

Although the path to becoming a great emperor may be severed, there will always be those with extraordinary talents in this world who can find their own path to greatness and become true emperors.

"However, nowadays the number of powerful individuals who can become emperors is far fewer than in ancient times."

As for the reason… Gu Linxu shook his head before he could finish his sentence, changing the subject and saying: "And the False Emperor, that's what I just said, those cultivators who gave up their own path and chose to walk the path of another Great Emperor."

Although the vast majority of cultivators would fall into demonic obsession or die directly, there were also a very small number of cultivators who could continue their journey on the Imperial Path and become Emperors.

"However, emperors who become so through this method are akin to swallowing whole a book without understanding it. They directly absorb the paths of previous emperors, resulting in a significant gap between their strength and that of past emperors."

Therefore, for such an emperor, we call him a false emperor.

Under Gu Linxu's detailed explanation, a look of realization appeared on Jiang Yun's face.

If the true emperor walks his own path step by step, then so-called false emperors are those who take a shortcut and directly jump onto someone else's path.

Such an emperor, like a rootless duckweed, is unstable in his foundation, outwardly strong but inwardly weak. He can only be called a false emperor.

"Alright!" Gu Linxu looked at Jiang Yun and said, "I've already told you everything about the secrets of the Imperial Artifact. Just keep it to yourself, don't tell anyone else."

"Besides, although you can see the path of an Emperor within the Imperial Armament, I advise you, it's best not to try and look at it right now."

Because your cultivation level is too low, you are also more likely to be influenced by other people's paths to becoming emperors.

"If you succumb to temptation and abandon your original path, then even if you don't go mad or die, your journey of cultivation will truly come to an end. There will be no possibility of moving forward!"

Jiang Yun could tell that this was Gu Linxu's kindness, so he also bowed and said: "Thank you for the reminder, I will remember!"

Gu Linxu nodded and said nothing more, turning away on his own.

And Gingercloud sat down and once again seriously recalled everything about the Emperor's Path.

After a long while, Jiang Yun said to himself, "Senior Gu's reminder is right. For me now, thinking about becoming an Emperor is simply too ambitious and unrealistic."

"However, if I have the chance, I still want to collect some imperial artifacts, for the Ancient God Spear, for my grandfather, master, and parents!"

At this time, Gao Song and Gu Qianxi just walked back.

Jiang Yun didn't think any more about it and shouted at Gao Song, "Come on, let's go to Jishi Xuan again!"

"Senior, are you really going to Jishixuan again" Gao Song said with a wry smile after being taken aback for a moment.

"There are five shops in these four towns selling blood-seal stones. There's no need to compete with Jishixuan, is there"

"Let's switch to a different one!"

Gu Qianxi just told him that there are at least ten cultivators outside right now, staring at the gate of Zhuji Garden, with the most being human cultivators.

As for the human cultivators, needless to say, they must have been sent by Shi Xuen and Jinyang Pai.

Although Jin Yang didn't know that Ginger Cloud was Gu Yun, his hatred for Ginger Cloud was probably even greater than his hatred for Gu Yun!

After all, Gu Yun only made him lose face, while Jiang Yun "stole" the two million Diyuan Stones that were originally supposed to belong to him!

Now, if Jiang Yun went back to Jishi Xuan, it would be like walking into a trap.

Jiang Yun, however, replied nonchalantly: "I'm going to visit other families as well. But last time I left in such a hurry that I didn't get to finish looking at the remaining blood-sealed stones in Jishi Xuan."

"I think, Jishixuan might be my lucky place. Who knows, maybe I can buy a few more blood-sealed stones with the Emperor's essence."

Jiang Yun's words left both Gu Qianxi and Gao Song speechless with laughter and tears.

The Blood Sealing Stone, which contains the imperial artifact's power, is rarely found even after a hundred years. Yet, Jiang Yun actually wanted to buy several more pieces.

Gu Qianxi spoke up, "Why don't I go with you all"

Jiang Yun shook her head and said, "Miss Gu's kindness, I have received it in my heart. That you can let us stay here temporarily, I am already very grateful."

Although Jiang Yun and Gu Qianxi had their own agendas, through their interactions, Jiang Yun found that the uncle and niece were actually quite good people. Naturally, he didn't want to implicate them anymore.

After all, Gu Qianxi is a member of the Spirit Race. If she gets too close to me, it won't be beneficial for her, or even the entire Mist Spirit Race.

Jiang Yun continued, "Jishi Xuan, after all, represents the face of my human cultivators. Even if they are dissatisfied with me, they would not dare to attack me within Jishi Xuan."

Jiang Yun looked at Gao Song and said, "But if you're really afraid, you can stay here!"

At first, Ginger Cloud found Gao Song only because she needed someone familiar with the Four Towns.

Over the past few days, he has gained a general understanding of the situation in the four towns.

He even knew some things better than Takasō, so it was indeed unnecessary for him to continue accompanying Takasō.

However, upon hearing this, Kazumasa immediately shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, I'll still go with my senior!"

Gashou still has self-awareness, without Jiangyun, he, a human cultivator, wouldn't dare to stay on the territory of the Spirit Clan!

Moreover, he was also counting on getting some benefits from Jiang Yun. If Jiang Yun disappeared for good, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.

No matter what, he had to stick close to Jiang Yun.

Ginger couldn't possibly not know what he was thinking, and she didn't bother to point it out. "Then let's go!"

Gu Qianxi said, "I will send you off!"

Three people walked outward, and as they passed through the bamboo forest, watching the mist automatically parting, Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

However, he didn't say anything. He took Gao Song with him and followed Gu Qianxi out of the bamboo forest.

"Miss Gu, there's no need to see us off. We can go out on our own."

To prevent Gu Qianxi from continuing to send things, Jiang Yun was doing it for her consideration. The latter didn't refuse either, smiling and nodding in agreement.

Having walked out of Zhujing Garden and stood at the gate, looking at the ten cultivators who were practically glaring at him openly, Jiang Yun ignored them completely and went straight towards Jishixuan.

But Jiang Yun ignored them. However, after Jiang Yun left the street where Zhújìngyuán was located, five human cultivators immediately quickened their pace and surrounded the two of them.

Ginger Cloud looked at them coldly and said, "How is it that in the four towns now, you can just stop people on the road and rob them"

One middle-aged man among the five said, "Xuan Yuan Yun, we are here on behalf of our elders, to invite you to our mansion for a visit."

Ginger Cloud didn't even bother asking who the elder was, shaking her head and saying, "No interest!"

After finishing, Jiang Yun took a step and walked away, while the five people didn't follow him anymore. However, the middle-aged man's voice transmission echoed in Jiang Yun's ear.

We are from Shixuan. You should consider the consequences of rejecting us!

As the man's voice faded, Jiang Yun had already walked out of their sight...

As the day of the Treasure Appraisal Conference draws nearer, more and more cultivators from the four towns have gathered in the city.

Looking at the numerous cultivators walking back and forth on the street, Jiang Yun suddenly said to Gao Song: "Gao Song, do me a favor!"

Takasugi was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong"

"Please go find out which celestial prodigies from the demon race have arrived!"

Takamori looked at Gen'un with a hint of confusion, wondering if he was deliberately trying to lead him away. So, he stood still and didn't move.

Jiang Yun glanced at him and said faintly, "Even if I leave, I'll wait until after the Appraisal Conference is over."

"Besides, you know my true identity. Are you worried I'll run away"

What Jiang Yun really needed Gao Song to inquire about was naturally whether Jiang Yue and the Mirage Clan people had arrived in these four towns!

Kōsō hurriedly shook his head and said, "Senior, you're joking. I'll go inquire right away."

Ginger nodded and said, "Be careful of yourself. No matter whether you can get any news or not, return to Zhukengyuan first and wait for me!"

"Great!"

After watching Gao Song leave, Jiang Yun once again glanced at those lurking cultivators who were getting restless, before stepping into the Jishi Pavilion!

This time, Ginger Cloud is going to teach Jin Yang and the entire Jishi Xuan a lesson!s easily killed by a single sword qi from Jian Ling.This is enough to show that this sword spirit's strength is extremely powerful.If he could be his sword spirit, it would definitely be a great help...
