No matter how excited Emperor Yan was, he did not vent it out.
Even if the hermit knew that he was dissatisfied, and he was full of hatred towards the hermit, as long as he didn't express it out loud, at least on the surface they didn't fall out, and to outsiders it seemed that the master and disciple were still getting along well.
The Hermit Sitting really doesn't care. After all, his true origins and intentions are unimaginable in this small universe. Emperor Yan is forced by the situation, and he really needs the Hermit Sitting's tiger skin.
Emperor Yan was seen standing in the air, half bowing, with a respectful look on his face: "Disciple Cao Benqi, I have something to ask you, Master."
Quiet.
In the pitch-black and silent place of nothingness, not even a speck of dust was floating, and not a ray of light could penetrate.
I don't know how long it took, I only know that the coldness in Emperor Yan's half-hunched eyes became stronger and stronger, and finally, a sigh sounded: "Junior brother, come in."
It was Puti, who was originally a servant under Zuo Shanke. He was accepted as a disciple by Zuo Shanke because of his seniority. However, because of his background, Emperor Yan had never thought highly of Puti.
However, since he had something to ask for help from the hermit today, Emperor Yan would naturally not be so stupid as to turn his face away.
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Puti." Emperor Yan straightened up with a smile on his face, making people feel like spring breeze.
It seems that there is no grudge at all.
Wow!
A dazzling, gorgeous and exquisite bridge filled with gold appeared. The whole bridge seemed to be made of transparent crystal. On it stood a strong man. He had a snake-like body and a human upper body. His purple beard hung down to the ground. He looked at Emperor Yan with a complicated expression.
He has followed Zuo Shanke the longest, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this second junior fellow apprentice grew up under his care.
Although Puti did not understand why Zuo Shanke guided the creation of the Yanshen Clan, he had spent such a huge price and effort that he always thought that Zuo Shanke wanted to vigorously cultivate the Yanshen Clan. As the strongest member of the Yanshen Clan, Yan Di, relying on the mysterious Zuo Shanke, should have ascended to the ninth heaven.
However, man proposes, God disposes, and God does not know what the hermit is thinking.
Just tens of millions of epochs ago, Zuo Shan Ke suddenly became cold towards Emperor Yan and changed his support. Except for a few treasures that he had given to Emperor Yan, all the rest were taken back. This made Puti completely confused. He even felt a little confused about his future.
After all, compared to Emperor Yan, who spent a lot of effort to guide his disciple, his status as the eldest disciple was obtained only by following him the longest. Even the formal disciples said no and were indifferent to him. If he turned over a slave, wouldn't he be exposed at any time?
Therefore, Puti became more cautious and did not dare to contact Emperor Yan again, for fear of bringing bad luck to Zuoshanke.
Wow!
Emperor Yan seemed not to notice Puti's complicated look. He took a step forward, landed on the bridge, patted Puti on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Big Brother, long time no see."
Puti also came back to her senses: "The teacher is here, let's talk while we walk."
The two walked side by side towards the end of the bridge. As they walked, they suddenly felt the drastic change of space.
Every step is a distance of tens of millions of light years.
"No matter how many times I come here, the magic of this Golden Bridge never ceases to amaze me." Emperor Yan stroked the railing of the Golden Bridge with one hand, as if he was nostalgic. In the entire primitive universe, the one with the most and most magical treasures must be the Mountain Master.
Puti smiled and didn't say anything.
In the blink of an eye, from one end of the bridge to the other, the cosmic coordinates have moved 12 billion light years.
At the end of the bridge is an exquisite pool with various fish swimming in it.
"It is the Ruyi Pond. It is a domain-type treasure that the outside world is scrambling for. Only the teacher has the confidence to treat it as a decoration." Emperor Yan walked along the pond, stepped on the lawn, and stretched out his hand to brush the flowers in the flowerbed... Once, this was also his home.
Unfortunately, nothing can go back.
There are all kinds of rare materials and treasures. Zuo Shanke’s Taoist temple is truly full of treasures.
Zuo Shanke didn't like pomp and circumstance, so in the huge Taoist temple, there were only him and Puti. Puti was not a permanent resident and was occasionally sent out by him to run errands.
Therefore, although it is called a dojo, in a sense, it is more like a private residence.
After a quick tour, Emperor Yan followed Puti into the palace and came to a courtyard, where he saw a hermit lying on a rocking chair. At this time, the hermit did not have the pressure of the strongest person in the universe, but just an ordinary old man next door.
But Puti and Emperor Yan did not dare to be negligent and quickly saluted.
"I met the teacher."
The rocking chair stopped rocking, the mountain guest opened his eyes, half sat up, and glanced at Emperor Yan calmly: "Hmm."
"Teacher, please chat with Second Junior Brother. I'll go down first." Seeing this, Puti bowed and left the courtyard.
In the courtyard, only the sitting hermit and the standing Emperor Yan were left.
"Tell me, why did you come to see me this time?"
Zuo Shanke is not omniscient and omnipotent. He will certainly spend a lot of effort to obtain real-time information on the people and things he cares about, but these two disciples are already in a semi-abandonment state, so he naturally won't pay attention to them all the time.
Therefore, he only learned about Emperor Yan's betrayal of the human race from other sources after it happened. Therefore, he had some guesses about Emperor Yan's purpose of coming here, but he was not sure.
Emperor Yan bowed and said earnestly, "After I rebelled from the human race, I contacted some powerful tribes and wanted to emulate the Northern Frontier Alliance and establish a 'Nine Realms Alliance' that is not inferior to them. The basic structure has been built, but it lacks a stabilizer, so I have the guts to ask you to come out and take charge of the Nine Realms Alliance."
After the discussion that day, Emperor Yan didn't want to invite the hermit, but he couldn't resist the urging of the other eight universe masters. Emperor Yan had ambitions and would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, but the eight universe masters didn't have such ambitions. They just wanted to copy the model of the Northern Frontier Alliance and become the elders of a superpower in peace and stability.
Unable to delay any longer, Emperor Yan had no choice but to send out the incarnation of his divine power to ask for an audience with the hermit.
The hermit looked at Emperor Yan and was silent for a while before speaking: "You are beyond my expectation. I originally thought that you came here for me to mediate the conflict between you and the human race. You are very ambitious and you have chosen a more difficult path. In order to establish the Northern Frontier Alliance, several super powers joined forces to hinder it. It took untold hardships to finally succeed. Do you have confidence?"
The rise of any superpower will disrupt the original pattern, and the vested interests will naturally not watch the resources they have obtained being divided away in vain.
"Honestly, no." Emperor Yan stood up and looked at the hermit. "But with you, there is."
The hermit shook his head: "You have known me for quite a while, you know I value freedom, and I believe in giving up and gaining in everything. If you can come up with a price that impresses me, then I can make an exception and come out to endorse your Nine Realms Alliance, but the key is, can you afford it?" Emperor Yan was happy in his heart, but on the surface his eyes dimmed: "Teacher, your wealth is the best in the universe, how can I be worthy of the treasure you like."
Having been a disciple of Zuo Shanke for billions of years, Emperor Yan knew his teacher very well. He could make ordinary treasures easily and a lot of high-level treasures with a little thought. Perhaps only the top treasures required him to think hard.
If I have to describe it, it’s just four words - unfathomable!
This is also one of the reasons why he doesn't dare to fall out with the Hermit now. If he really angers the Hermit, Emperor Yan is afraid that he will be wiped out at will.
"Since you know you can't produce it, why did you come to me?" The hermit calmly picked up a purple clay teapot from the table next to him and rocked his chair. "Your Nine Realms Alliance is just a burden to me now. I can refine the treasures that the Lords of the Universe fight for myself, so why do I need you to offer me?"
Only the hermit and the original universe knew his origins. With his vision, let alone these low-level treasures, even the so-called most powerful treasures were worthless in his eyes.
After seeing the scenery of the God King, the so-called power struggles in the primitive universe seemed like playing house to him and he had no interest in them at all.
The only thing he wanted was to survive from death!
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. My condition is still the same. If you can kill 10 universe masters or 100 top universe overlords, I will refine a top treasure for you for free. Of course, this time I allow you to use this opportunity in exchange for me to come out and support your Nine Domain Alliance." said the hermit.
Emperor Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, you think too highly of me. I am only a small third-level cultivator. Your conditions are too harsh. Not to mention the Lord of the Universe, even if we only consider the top-level Overlords of the Universe, it is a problem whether the entire Primordial Universe can gather 100 of them."
Top cosmic overlords are rarer than universe masters, and there are very few "wild" top cosmic overlords like the God of Food. Most of the top cosmic overlords exist in the nine super powers. Even if Emperor Yan had ten times the courage, he would not dare to cause trouble for the nine super powers now.
If provoked, the nine major forces would encircle and attack, and even the strongest would have to flee to the sea of the universe in a panic.
"I've laid out the conditions here. It's up to you whether you can do it or not." The hermit was unmoved.
Emperor Yan nodded. The condition had not changed. When he was promoted to the Lord of the Universe, Zuo Shan Ke gave him an identity as a lone sinner - the Lord of the Northern Prison - to help him meet this condition. Unfortunately, he did not seize the opportunity, and the identity of the Lord of the Northern Prison was finally taken back by Zuo Shan Ke.
"Okay, when you have achieved your goal, come and talk to me about this matter again." The hermit ordered him to leave, "You can go back now."
Even though Emperor Yan was mentally prepared, he still looked grim at this time.
Without saying a word, Emperor Yan bowed slightly and then left quickly.
Glancing at Emperor Yan's departing back, Zuo Shanke raised his hand, put the spout of the purple clay teapot to his lips, and sighed softly, "This is a failed work. I've taken a wrong path. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to break through to become the strongest in the universe in this lifetime. If I can't even become the strongest, then what's the use of it to me?"
Shaking his head, no longer worried, the hermit closed his eyes and began to rest again.
……
Emperor Yan left the Zuoshanke Dojo with a lot of anger, and met up with the Lord of Purple Rainbow and the Lord of Eternal Frost who were waiting for him about 100 billion light years away from the dojo.
"How is it?" The Lord of Purple Rainbow said with anticipation when he saw the incarnation of Emperor Yan.
He and the Lord of Eternal Freeze were not registered with the human race, so they had no worries about coming here.
The Lord of Eternal Freeze also looked over expectantly.
Emperor Yan was angry, but when he thought of his real purpose, his anger quickly dissipated. He smiled and said, "One good news, one bad news."
The impatient Purple Rainbow Lord curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Emperor Yan, are you still trying to keep us on suspense? It's boring."
"Let me tell you the bad news first." The Lord of Eternal Freeze said with a smile.
"Let's talk while we walk." Emperor Yan nodded and began to travel through space. The two universe masters beside him also followed him. "The bad news is that my teacher refused the position of leader of the Nine Realms Alliance. Ahem, don't worry, there is another good news!"
Seeing the anxious looks of the two universe masters beside him, he quickly spoke to appease them: "Although my teacher will not come to the alliance to be the leader, he promised to support me and make the human race dare not retaliate against me openly. Moreover, if a universe overlord falls, he will reverse time and space to revive him."
Emperor Yan was falsely conveying the imperial decree. He had not discussed these things with Zuo Shanke just now, but now he made a direct promise to the two masters of the universe.
According to his thoughts, these two conditions are not difficult to meet. The first condition is almost met, after all, the human race has not come to trouble him until now. The second condition, no matter that the hermit does not like him now, the hermit is still his teacher in name, and it will not be difficult to pay the price to let the hermit help resurrect.
Of course, these two conditions have not been discussed with Zuo Shanke, and the risks are not small when discussed in detail, but the key is that Emperor Yan has no way out. He has offended the human race. The only way now is to gather a group of masters of the universe around him, whether by deceiving or cheating, and to have considerable power first, so that the Yan clan can really continue to gain a foothold in the universe after breaking away from the human race.
By then, the Nine Domain Alliance will be famous throughout the universe, and everyone will become a community of interests, having tasted the sweetness of sticking together. It will be unlikely that the Lord of Purple Rainbow and the Lord of Eternal Frost will want to withdraw.
Therefore, Emperor Yan had no hesitation in telling a white lie.
As expected, the Lord of Purple Rainbow and the Lord of Eternal Frost, who originally had somewhat unpleasant looks on their faces, immediately turned from cloudy to sunny after hearing his "good news".
The two conditions of Emperor Yan were like two huge mountains pressing down on them. Now that these two mountains have been removed, they are not so opposed anymore.
However, the Purple Rainbow Lord still sighed and said, "What a pity! If your teacher could come, we would have a chance to become the tenth superpower. Now that we have lost the strongest person, we can only become a secondary power."
"Haha, actually this is not without its benefits. In order to establish the Northern Frontier Alliance, it fought many battles of varying sizes with the other major superpowers that border it." The Lord of Everfreeze was more open-minded and said with a smile, "If our Nine Regions Alliance had the strongest person, would you still be willing to live in the wilderness?"
The Purple Rainbow Lord's expression brightened, and he said with longing: "Of course it's impossible. Even if we can't grab the core territory, we must take a piece of the universe territories outside the core territory!"
"That's it." The Lord of Everfreeze said with a smile, "Are you sure you can handle the pressure from two or three super powers?"

PS: Because this chapter is a draft, it is difficult to modify the subsequent plot.
I was a reader first, then an author. When I subscribed to read books, I hated the authors’ sloppy writing. After all, I was supporting them with real money… But after becoming an author, sometimes I couldn’t stop writing…
I will mark the chapters where the protagonist does not appear in the future, and you can subscribe at your discretion.
