After feeling something wrong with the Clean-Up, Di Tian left with his Shadow, returning to the Myriad Emperor World. His father immediately came to see him after his return.
“The Clean-up is already finished?” asked the Di Clan Patriarch.
“Something went wrong, so I left alone.”
“What happened?” he asked with a frown.
“It doesn’t matter,” replied Di Tian. “Does the clan have any sealed Heaven Chosen who practice Overlord or Tyrant Dao?”
The patriarch pondered for a moment, “There should be. Why?”
“I need one to be my general.”
“Do you even need a general?” He knew his son’s strength, so he felt the latter was guaranteed to win this generation’s battle; this is one of the reasons Di Cong did not mind his son was the reincarnation of some powerhouses.
“I thought I did not, but Wang Wei’s strength caught up with me.”
Di Cong immediately frowned and hurriedly asked, “How sure are you to win?”
“I don’t know.” Di Tian would be sure if it were before since he could break the limit of Nine Extremity. However, he knew Wang We was the kind of person who could create miracles.
Di Cong immediately became nervous since he’s never heard any uncertainty from his son before.
“There is no need to worry,” added Di Tian. He was not as worried about the final battle because of his Emperor Soul. He now broke the limit of his soul and can continue to reincarnate. The only reason he wanted to prove the Dao in this generation no matter is he knew Qing’er Imprint might not survive past this generation.
Di Cong sighed to calm down, “Follow me.”
He took his son to a secret realm where numerous coffins with profound seals around them. Di Cong held a talisman while reviewing information about these sealed Heaven Chosen.
Soon, he found the person he wanted. Di Cong then used a secret technique to unlock the coffin. Then, a fierce and brutal aura emanated from the coffin.
“I’m awake?” said a beautiful and melodious voice. “Finally, this suffering has ended.”
A woman dressed in plain black clothes walked out of the coffin. Her body exuded a terrifying Yang Energy, showing her mighty fleshly body. She opened her mouth to swallow a vast quantity of Spirit Qi.
She turned around to look at Di Cong and Di Tian. “I specifically asked the clan to wake me during a generation full of Eternal Destiny. Is it this generation?”
“Yes, but this is not why you’re woken up,” said Di Cong.
“What do you mean?”
“You need to be the general of this generation’s Heaven Chosen?”
“What did you say?” said Di Jiaying, releasing a terrible killing aura; it was so intense the surrounding tremble, and Di Cong had to take a few steps backward.
Di Tian waved his hand to disperse the pressure. “Do you have a problem with what he said?”
“Of course I do.”
“How about now?” He released a terrifying pressure that made Di Jiaying unable to breathe or move.
“Not bad,” commented Di Tian before increasing the pressure; he wanted to force her to heal. However, Di Jiaying refused to bow down. Who was she? A peerless genius born at the wrong time.
She was born in the Middle Emperor Era, thirty years after Emperor Three Leaf from the Loose Cultivator Alliance proved the Dao. Tainted by the karma of the previous generation, her Emperor Path was cut before it started. However, she refused to accept things so easily.
After cultivating until the Quasi-Emperor Realm, Di Jiaying contacted everyone who survived the Heaven Will Battle and battled them out. She suppressed them one by one, shocking the world.
However, this was not the end.
Di Jiaying showed her arrogance as she challenged Emperor Three Leaf. She claimed to the world that if she had been born earlier, the latter would never prove the Dao. So, she challenged him to fight her in the same realm.
She used the Di Clan’s power to spread rumors throughout the Myriad Emperor World. Finally, Emperor Three Leaf could no longer ignore this matter and decided to prove her wrong. He sealed himself to the strength he had before acquiring the Heaven Will and fought with her.
Then, the world was schooled. Di Jiaying dominated that battle and won, proving to the world she would have been the Emperor if not for her poor luck.
Meanwhile, Emperor Three Leaf became the laughingstock of the World. A mighty First Class Emperor was no match for a little girl. What’s more, he only won because of his luck.
Angered, Three Leaf wanted to eradicate Di Jiaying to wash away this shame. Unfortunately, the Di Clan’s Insurgents prepared and took Di Jiaying away. However, Three Leaf did not give up and mobilized the power of the Loose Cultivator Alliance to fight the Di Clan.
The result was his exile into the upper dimension. Although the Di Clan did not have an Eternal Emperor, their founder was a man of great merit. In the Ancient Emperor Era, the Western Continent was desolate, even worse than the current Northern Continent.
It was full of baleful auras, chaotic spatial energy, and low Spiritual Qi.
Then, the patriarch of the Di Clan arrived and cultivated the Earth Dao and minor in Array Dao. He reconnected the veins underneath the Western Continent to revitalize it while also using formation to slowly remove the baleful aura and smooth the chaotic spaces.
The Di Clan founder did not fix the Western Continent in one generation. Generations after generations of the Di Clan helped the process–including the other four Emperors. The Di Clan received great merit for their actions, and their founder even refined a unique Emperor Artifact full of merit and connected to the entire Western Continent.
With this foundation, the Di Clan swiftly dealt with Emperor Three Leaf and saved Di Jiaying’s life.
Thinking about everything she experienced, Di Jiaying would never kneel to anyone.
“Great Willpower,” said Di Tian coldly. “Unfortunately, it’s useless before absolute power.”
Crack!
He increased his aura, forcing Di Jiaying onto her knees. He ignored her ugly complexion or all the blood from her body.
“You serve as my general, and I will find Karma Washing Water for you to compete in the next generation.”
Di Jiaying gritted her teeth but did not say anything.
“You can serve me willingly, or I can enslave you,” added Di Tian. “Believe me when I say you won’t even be able to kill yourself in front of me.”
Di Jiaying’s eyes became red. Then, a few seconds later, she suddenly became incredibly calm and composed.
“Fine, I agree.”
“Interesting,” muttered Di Tian before pointing his hand to her forehead and putting a seal inside her soul. “You betray me, you die.”
“The strong decide the fate of the weak; that’s how the world should be,” she said nonchalantly.
“As long as you understand,” said Di Tian, who knew Di Jiaying was the kind of person who could bind her time before taking revenge. Unfortunately, the difference between them was something she could not even fathom.
“Now, follow me.”
Di Tian led Di Jiaying to meet with Gao Buqin and Gluttony. He spent the next few days preparing detailed training programs for these three, including using formation and tactics from the Qin Dynasty. He mobilized numerous resources from the Di Clan and his private reserves to train them.
Then, he entered seclusion.
Not long after he entered, he received a talisman that disturbed him.
“Wang Wei wants to see me?” he muttered with a frown. Di Tian condensed a clone and sent it. After knowing the reason for the visit, he condensed another clone with 95% of his power and sent it after the people Wang Wei wanted to kill.
“Did you find the place of the War Talisman?”
“We discovered five locations where it could be.”
Di Tian’s eyes squinted with a cunning light, “Good enough. Have our people stay in these places and notify me if they see Li Jun.”
“As you wish.”
Di Tian frowned as he sensed the latter’s hesitation, “What is it?”
“Master, are you sure Li Jun is coming for the talisman?”
“He wanted it ever since he lost to Fang Lijuan. With Wang Wei’s destiny that can nourish others, it’s normal for him to find it,” said Di Tian before dismissing the Sleepers. However, he was in a bad mood because of the quality of the new Sleepers; they were incompetent in his eyes.
He closed his eyes to wait.
“The assassination failed?” he muttered with a frown. “Those people from the upper dimension are not simple.”
He shook his head before focusing on his cultivation; this time, he would enter deep seclusion, even using a Time Chaos Treasure to ensure he reached his goal. No matter what happened outside would have to wait for his exit.
“Let’s see what kind of power this Limit Breaker will bring me.”
