Chapter 2268: Who Is the Hard Work For

"You are fellow disciples, so your teacher is..." Emperor Xu Ming was so frustrated he almost fell from the sky. The other emperors also stared with wide eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.

They had heard on Mount Shenshan that the other party had a teacher. Everyone who cultivated had teachers...

They had never taken it seriously, but they never dreamed that the eleven successors taken by the six great emperors actually shared the same teacher.

This person was simply too incredible!

How did he find disciples who were all such geniuses?

"Oh, our teacher is..."

Yuan Tao nodded with a smile, about to speak, when he saw Zhao Ya cast a cold glance at him: "Shut up!"

"Yes!" Yuan Tao stopped, sweat beading on his forehead.

His senior sister's interruption reminded him that their teacher always kept a low profile and disliked showing off the most.

Speaking so openly in front of the six great emperors would go against his excellent character and be a great act of disrespect.

Moreover, during this period, they had been cultivating in the Space-Time Mirror, isolated from reality, so no one knew their teacher's current situation. If they revealed his name and the emperors investigated, wouldn't that harm him?

"Emperors, we are truly sorry. Our teacher is extremely low-key and unknown in the Divine Realm. Without his permission, it is inconvenient for us to reveal his name... We hope for your understanding!"

Seeing the emperors all looking at them, Zhao Ya cupped her fists.

"To be able to train so many excellent disciples, yet remain unknown in the Divine Realm, is indeed remarkable..." Emperor Xu Ming said with a hint of awkwardness, unsure what else to say, when he saw the spiritual energy erupting before them... The Spiritual Energy Tide had begun!

"Since you are all from the same lineage, you should not kill each other. Any treasures found belong to whoever discovers them; there should be no contention."

Although frustrated, it was a fact. Since they couldn't seize treasures, they could only rely on luck.

"Tidal Sea is full of dangers. Although none of you are weak, there is one person you still need to pay attention to!"

Just as everyone was about to be sent into the tide, Emperor Yunchi suddenly spoke.

Zhao Ya and the others looked over in unison.

"In Lingyuan Heaven, there is a young man not much different from you, who has been crowned King of Nine Heavens due to his exceptional talent!"

Emperor Yunchi said, "If you encounter him, under no circumstances should you resist him with your soul. It's best to attack him physically without a word, and first inflict severe injuries on him!"

"That's right, aren't you all from the same lineage? If necessary, don't separate; advance together, and the danger will be greatly reduced..." Emperor Zhuoyang interjected.

Although he had just said that their own crowned kings weren't afraid of Zhang Xuan, he was still not entirely confident.

King of Nine Heavens...

In the history of the Divine Realm, only Emperor Tianzong had achieved this; it was simply too defying.

Although he lacked confidence in their individual actions, if eleven fellow disciples attacked simultaneously... even if that person was not just a King of Nine Heavens but had also reached the peak of true energy, he certainly wouldn't be able to resist.

"Don't worry, we will watch out for each other and progress together. No matter if he's the King of Nine Heavens or whatever, if he dares to cause trouble, we will not retreat..." Zhao Ya nodded.

It would be one thing not to encounter him, but if they did, the brothers and sisters of their lineage would certainly support and assist each other, never abandoning anyone. Otherwise, how could they live up to their teacher's teachings?

"Good, then go in!"

Seeing her say this, everyone simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Emperor Fuzheng, Emperor Yunchi, Emperor Zhuoyang, and others simultaneously made their move. The space before them trembled, and the eleven crowned kings entered the Tidal Sea at the same time.

"Haha!"

Seeing everyone enter the Tidal Sea, Fairy Linglong could no longer contain herself and burst out laughing.

"Fairy, what makes you so happy?"

Emperor Yunchi looked over.

"Nothing much... I just remembered something amusing and couldn't help but smile..." Fairy Linglong's eyes curved like crescent moons.

"Fairy, do you know something? Please tell us so we can consider it and deal with it together..." Emperor Xu Ming said.

"Do you truly wish to hear?" Fairy Linglong's eyes danced.

"Of course!" Everyone nodded.

"Alright, there's no harm in telling you..." Fairy Linglong smiled faintly and asked, "Are you worried that Zhang Xuan, the one just mentioned, will obtain countless treasures during this Spiritual Energy Tide and become the next Emperor Tianzong?"

"This..." Everyone was speechless.

Though unspoken, they indeed harbored such concerns.

One Emperor Tianzong was enough; another one... and another round of challenges, it would truly be embarrassing!

Thinking of how they hadn't dared to leave their gates for forty years... the more they thought about it, the more aggrieved they felt.

"Are you thinking that the juniors you trained can defeat him, seize his treasures, and help you break through your current realms?" Fairy Linglong continued.

"After seeing the battles of the past two days, I don't believe you weren't tempted! Who doesn't want to advance to a higher level?" Emperor Zhuoyang stated, making no attempt to hide his thoughts.

Emperors were also human, and they also wished to be stronger.

It was because they hadn't paid enough attention to the Spiritual Energy Tide before that Emperor Tianzong became so powerful. Now that they were taking it seriously and had trained their own masters, it wouldn't be easy for Zhang Xuan to become the second Emperor Tianzong.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush!" Emperor Fuzheng, being impatient, grunted.

"Exactly, no need to hide it. We're all here, so don't keep us in suspense!" Emperor Yunchi also said.

"Alright, then I'll speak..."

Seeing everyone's impatience, Fairy Linglong knew the time was right. She chuckled, "Weren't you all wondering who Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and the others' teacher was? Well, I know!"

"Who is it?" As the Qiankun Demon Monarch asked, he suddenly remembered something, his body stiffened, and his face twitched: "It couldn't be..."

"Precisely, it's the King of Nine Heavens you're worried about... Zhang Xuan!"

Fairy Linglong looked triumphant.

Having reached the rank of emperor, nothing usually bothered them, but after years of acquaintance, this was the first time she had seen such expressions on her old friends' faces.

All because of that young man...

The key was, this guy didn't even know anything...

He was unknowingly putting on a grand display, acting utterly oblivious!

"This..."

The five great emperors exchanged glances, looking at each other, and all felt a surge of poetic inspiration in their minds, as many classic verses came to mind...

Of the many cities, I have no share; for whom have I toiled so hard!After gathering a hundred flowers to make honey, for whom have I toiled so hard!It's a bitter sorrow to press golden threads year after year, only to make wedding gowns for others!

Emperor Lingxi is your girlfriend, Emperor Undying is your beast pet, and you yourself are the King of Nine Heavens... As if that weren't enough, the juniors we painstakingly cultivated at immense cost, are all your students...

Their chests tightened, and the five great emperors all felt utterly choked, with an urge to hit the wall.

They had been hoping that this Spiritual Energy Tide would allow them to rise to prominence and become as powerful as Emperor Tianzong, only to now realize... it was merely a pipe dream!

What kind of situation was this... was there no justice left in the world!
