Necropolis Immortal

e voice now sounded somewhat bored.
“I didn’t expect you to hit the mark on the first try.”

“Other than Your Majesty, who else would come to your humble servant’s rescue at this hour?” Lu Yun shrugged.

“Zhao Fengyang!!” Above the North Sea, the monster spirit emperor roared with fury.

“North Sea Emperor? Don’t make me laugh.
Just as the Dusk governor said, you’re nothing but a feral animal.
Stop making a fool of yourself.” The Nephrite Emperor sneered.
“My true body may be in seclusion, but it’s still child ’s play to flatten a puny reptile like you.
Governor of Dusk, withdraw the power of the land.
Let’s see if this wild snakeling dares flood my domain!

“I will say in advance that if a single drop of water lands in the province, I will slaughter all of the monster spirits of the North Sea.
I may have abdicated, but this affront will not be tolerated!” After stepping down from the throne, the Nephrite Emperor no longer used the royal ‘We’.

Stillness descended on the North Sea at his threat, and the colossal waves retreated in the blink of an eye.

“Wise choice.” The giant shadow towering behind Lu Yun smirked.
“Coveting the ancient lord’s legacy of Dusk Province? You think too little of my Nephrite Major.” Zhao Fengyang suddenly turned to the center of the province, the Dusk Tomb.
“Old thing, you, too, should know your place.
Don’t go thinking for a second that your restriction will stop me.
I would’ve long dug you out and dismembered you if I weren’t worried about harming the people in the process.”

No answer came from the tomb.
Zhao Fengyang snorted, but a hint of helplessness was in his expression.
He couldn’t do anything against the restriction as long as it hid in the Dusk Tomb.
It wasn’t the evil lifeforms inside the tomb that gave him pause, but rather the formations and layouts inside.
The enemies that could be found in a tomb were insignificant for a powerhouse of his level.

“The selection in fifteen days won’t be a problem for you, I presume.
After I go into seclusion, I hope you can devote yourself to assisting Zhao Changkong.
He’s…
far from outstanding, but at least he’s a little stronger than the rest.” Zhao Fengyang earnestly looked down at Lu Yun.

“Me? You mean, you want a life core cultivator to help the crown prince?” Lu Yun goggled.

“If I say you’re up to the task, then you are.” A strange note entered Zhao Fengyang’s voice.
“Naturally, there will be a little test involved.
Since the entire immortal world covets the ancient lord’s legacy, I shall satisfy their wishes.”

An ominous premonition rose in Lu Yun’s chest.

“All of the immortals in the nine majors, ten lands, and four immortal seas are eligible to participate in the selection for Dusk Province’s governor in fifteen days.
Whoever achieves a hundred successive victories in the ‘Coretrial Arena’ will be permitted to use the provincial seal to unearth the legacy!” Zhao Fengyang’s voice rippled through the world like giant waves.

The world of immortals boiled over, with some powerhouses reacting immediately.
“Is this true?!”

“Naturally.
Our promise made is a promise kept.” Zhao Fengyang once again reverted to the royal ‘We’.

“Dusk Province is a special place.
Will the power of the land there tolerate foreign cultivators?”

“If We proclaim it so, then so shall it be.
As the emperor of Nephrite Major, Dusk Province’s land is Ours to command.”

Lu Yun immediately found that the celestial emperor’s word was law.
Through the provincial seal, he could actually sense… fear, emanating from the power of the land! Just what cultivation realm had the emperor attained?

His heart raced involuntarily.
No wonder the Tome of Life and Death and the sal tree seed had gone into hiding.

“In fifteen days, he who can defeat the current governor and achieve a hundred victories in succession will be the new governor.
Of course, you may step down once you obtain the legacy.
Whatever happens on the stage shall stay on the stage, life and death included.
Whoever dares cause trouble after the selection will receive a personal visit from Us.
Fellow daoists, what say you?

“It is as it should be,” eight immeasurable voices sounded in unison from all over the immortal world.
Lu Yun would now have to face challengers from the world over.

Such was the celestial emperor’s trial.
