Chapter 1986: Chapter 1986: The Imperial Preceptor Reborn, Storm Brewing

The Imperial Preceptor of the Cloud Phoenix Empire holds an esteemed position.

Even though his cultivation is currently only at the Emperor Realm, which is not considered top-tier strength in the Mortal Realm, no one dares to underestimate him.

The reason is none other.

Once the Cloud Phoenix Empire became the ruling power of the mortal realm, its history was unearthed.

The Empress Hong Ying certainly shines brilliantly.

But the role played by the Imperial Preceptor in this story is also highly praised by countless people.

It is even said that without the Imperial Preceptor, the Cloud Phoenix Empire might not have reached its current heights.

Firstly, the Imperial Preceptor deduced the heavenly machine, and after failing on the Heavenly Road, sealed himself and created a secret realm, preserving the fire seed and hope for the empire.

Secondly, after reappearing, he assisted Hong Ying in consolidating the empire’s power, participated in realm wars, and devised various plans, seizing the initiative in domain wars, thus completely integrating the dynastic powers of the Mortal Realm and helping Hong Ying become the Empress of the Mortal Realm.

It’s not only others, even Hong Ying thinks the Imperial Preceptor is extraordinary.

During the Reincarnation Illusion Realm experience in the Chaos Divine Dynasty Core Land, the Preceptor detected Hong Ying trapped in the Reincarnation Illusion and deduced it.

Such vision, to be frank, was unlikely to have been cultivated in a small place like the Wilderness Realm.

Moreover, the Preceptor’s origins are mysterious...

Now, Shi Sheng feels the chaotic pagoda within his body stirring, the feeling of wanting to break free, and with a wave of his hand,

A small tower infused with star energy swirled and hovered in Shi Sheng’s palm.

All present were astonished by the majestic aura when the tower appeared.

Only Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin... and the Imperial Preceptor standing before them remained slightly calm.

Simultaneously, at the tip of the Chaos Slaughter Tower, an invisible energy thread slightly exhaled.

This invisible energy thread was connected to the Preceptor, as if there was an invisible string linking the two.

Seeing Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin, and Shi Sheng’s gazes, the Preceptor smiled lightly and said, "I initially thought the one to acquire the Chaos Slaughter Tower would be the Emperor, but I never expected it would be Mr. Shi."

Shi Sheng exclaimed, "The Preceptor knows of the Chaos Slaughter Tower?"

Hong Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the Preceptor and asked, "Preceptor, who exactly are you?"

In her first life, Hong Ying had asked the Preceptor this question, but at the time, the Preceptor had merely smiled and said, "Just an ordinary person from a small town."

Now, the old question is raised again.

The Preceptor smiled and said, "I told Your Majesty of my origins before."

Small town, ordinary person?

That seems too fantastical.

The Preceptor stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the Ancestral Emperor Domain’s sky, but his gaze wasn’t on this sky, it seemed to pierce through the Ancestral Emperor Domain, even through the Mortal Realm, to somewhere unknown, his eyes distant.

"Since you’ve obtained the Chaos Slaughter Tower, it means you’ve already seen my true form."

True form?

Shi Sheng was stunned and cried out, "The Preceptor of the Chaos Divine Dynasty?"

The Preceptor nodded with a smile, "I am merely a clone of the Divine Dynasty State Preceptor. Only this clone was severed from its connection to the true form by supreme means, becoming an independent entity, with its cultivation restricted."

Clone...

The Divine Dynasty State Preceptor coming to the low-latitude realm of the Mortal Realm, and in the least developed Wilderness Realm of Cultivation Civilization becoming the Cloud Phoenix Empire’s Preceptor, could this be coincidence?

It certainly could not be.

It was targeted at her... or perhaps them.

Hong Ying only felt a suffocating sensation, as though a great hand was tightly grasping her life, everything under another’s control.

This sensation was very uncomfortable for one bearing the emperor’s intent like Hong Ying.

This discomfort represented a lack of clarity in her thoughts.

For a time, Hong Ying’s aura began to fluctuate wildly and unpredictably.

This was the state of mind being affected!

The Preceptor glanced at Hong Ying, explaining, "Your Majesty need not rush, I merely foresaw that the hope for the future lay in this Wilderness Realm, not the specific person. Joining the Cloud Phoenix Empire back then was because it was the strongest force in the Wilderness Realm, making it easier to find that person, that’s all."

Hong Ying took a deep breath to suppress her fluctuating aura, then asked, "What is the hope the Preceptor refers to?"

The Preceptor gestured with his hand.

A light screen appeared before everyone.

In the light screen, a once grand city turned into a sea of flames, ruins...

Above the sea of flames, countless figures emitting divine energy stood, coldly watching over the ruins.

Within the ruins, a man clad in an imperial robe, so weak he could only use the long spear in his hand to support himself from falling.

Although the scene in the light screen was unfamiliar,

Hong Ying and the others already guessed.

This was the scene of the Chaos Divine Dynasty’s fall back then.

Watching the light screen, the Preceptor’s voice turned a bit cold, "In this battle, it was thought that the Chaos Divine Dynasty, possessing a branch of the World Tree and uniting the entire Chaos Realm, could resist the Immortal Realm.

But after this battle, it was evident this was impossible..."

As he spoke, the Preceptor pointed to a spot amid the crowd floating above the fiery ruins, "Look, how does the aura of this person appear to you?"

Hmm?

Following the Preceptor’s finger, it was a spot incredibly unassuming, if not pointed out by the Preceptor, Hong Ying and the rest would have indeed missed it.

There, a shadow, though emanating divine energy, this divine energy was vastly different from that of the Immortal Realm’s people!

This aura resembled more... the Holy Qi within the master!

But compared to the Master’s Holy Qi, this aura’s purity was quite far, but still stronger than divine energy.

"The Preceptor is saying, this was the primary reason for the Chaos Divine Dynasty’s demise?"

"Indeed," the Preceptor nodded, "There was an Immortal Realm infiltrator... This was just a minor reason, at that time, to prevent panic among the Lower Five Realms’ people, the truth was concealed...

The force behind the Immortal Realm is Outer Heaven."

Once people in the Chaos Realm knew there was an even grander background behind the Immortal Realm,

Many factions would likely lose their battle intent, and by then, the Chaos Realm would no longer be a unified force, with no hope of resistance left.

"Once knowing this, I used my own lifespan to divine the heavenly machine, yet discovered... the strongest luck resided in this Wilderness Realm."

This was the reason why the Preceptor came here.

The Preceptor looked at the Chaos Slaughter Tower and walked up to Shi Sheng, after forming a hand gesture, touched the tower’s tip with his finger.

From it, a soul floated out.

This was the true soul of the Chaos Divine Dynasty’s Preceptor.

Ultimately merging into the Preceptor’s forehead.

At that moment, the Preceptor’s white hair turned black, and his aura gradually surged!

It actually surged from the Martial Monarch Realm to the Boundary God Realm!

And the aura of breakthrough was suppressed by the Chaos Slaughter Tower.

Reborn with a clone!

Hong Ying stared at the Preceptor, her expression complex.

Unexpectedly, the Preceptor not only deduced the heavenly machine but also foresaw that among them, after a million years, someone would obtain the Chaos Slaughter Tower, thus achieving complete rebirth through the clone.

The Preceptor sighed in relief, looking towards outer heaven, "The storm is coming... A million years of arrangement, I wonder if those people will lower their guard?"

"The Immortal Realm?" Hong Ying said, "How could they lower their guard?"

The Preceptor smiled, but did not respond.
