Suppressing their inner shock, the two remained calm and bowed slightly in accordance with etiquette.
Facing a fully recovered and possibly even stronger Heavenly Emperor of this era, they dared not be the slightest bit negligent.
"You two ancient emperors, there's no need for such formalities. Please be seated."
Jiang Feng casually pointed to the seats next to him, his tone indifferent, "Why have you two come to my Heavenly Court instead of meditating in the Primordial Ancient Mine?"
Emperor Wanlong and Emperor Qilin exchanged a glance, and Emperor Wanlong spoke first: "We heard that the Heavenly Emperor suffered an accident the other day and seems to be slightly unwell. We were worried about him and came to visit him. In addition, my daughter Long Li was saved by the Heavenly Emperor and escaped danger safely. I am very grateful and have never had the chance to thank him in person. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude."
"It's nothing to worry about."
Jiang Feng waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the two as if he could see through their thoughts. "You two have come here for more than just a visit and to express your gratitude, haven't you?"
Jiang Feng's words startled both Wanlong Emperor and Qilin Ancient Emperor, and they were immediately filled with trepidation.
The Heavenly Emperor really does know everything!
He probably already knew about the schemes of those supreme beings in the forbidden zones!
The Ancient Emperor Qilin took a deep breath, knowing that it was pointless to play tricks on Jiang Feng, and simply said frankly, "Your Majesty, we have no intention of being enemies with you, nor do we wish to participate in any dark turmoil or cause suffering to the people. We only ask... to find a place to live and work under your command. If you do not despise us, we are willing to serve you with utmost loyalty."
Wanlonghuang nodded and said, "That's right. We are both old and our blood and energy are declining. All we ask for is to prolong our lives and wait for the path to immortality to open, or to find other ways to achieve longevity."
If the Heavenly Emperor grants us a sliver of hope, we two are willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, never to be enemies of the Heavenly Emperor or the human race, and to await the Heavenly Emperor's commands.
They adopted a very humble posture, almost acting as subjects.
Faced with a fully recovered and wise emperor, they had no bargaining power.
All I want is to find a relatively safe haven in the coming storm and to fight for a future.
Jiang Feng looked at them, tapping his fingers lightly on the table without saying a word, seemingly weighing his options.
The hall fell silent for a moment, with only the "Harmony Flower" slowly rotating, emitting a hazy Daoist charm.
After a long pause, Jiang Feng slowly spoke: "The method of immortality... the path to becoming an immortal?"
He paused, and under the expectant yet tense gazes of the two, continued, "The world behind that rift on the ancient star Yinghuo is not the true Immortal Realm. It is a strange world that lies between the Immortal Realm and the mortal world. It does contain a relatively rich amount of longevity substances, enough to extend the lifespan of powerful emperors, but it is not immortal. Moreover, it is also fraught with dangers, with powerful enemies lurking within."
"A strange world?"
The Dragon Emperor and the Qilin Ancient Emperor exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised, but more so understanding.
No wonder the aura leaking from the crack, though pure, always felt like something was missing.
It turns out it wasn't a true immortal realm after all.
"I can promise you that I will send you into that strange world at the appropriate time."
Jiang Feng made a promise, but then changed the subject, "But not now, because I have other things to do!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the Dragon Emperor and the Ancient Qilin Emperor immediately declared in unison, "We are willing to serve as the vanguard for the Heavenly Emperor, sweeping away the forbidden zones and cleansing the universe!"
They naturally knew what the Heavenly Emperor was planning to do!
Jiang Feng didn't waste any words and nodded, saying, "Alright. Go back. Await my news. Remember, what happened today must not be told to anyone."
"Yes!" the two replied in unison, then transformed into streaks of light and left the Heavenly Court.
Not long after they left, Jiang Yu, who had been eavesdropping in the side hall next door, dragged General Chuan Ying in, his face full of curiosity and confusion.
"Brother! Why did you agree to help those two old...old seniors?"
Jiang Yu almost blurted out "old-fashioned," but quickly corrected herself, "Aren't they also supreme beings of the forbidden zones? Didn't they also try to launch a dark upheaval before?"
Jiang Feng glanced at her and said calmly, "Not all supreme beings in forbidden zones are solely focused on killing and plundering. Among them, there are those like the Myriad Dragon Emperor and the Ancient Qilin Emperor, who are often forced to commit suicide to prolong their lives, hoping for a glimmer of hope for immortality. They are unwilling to easily commit boundless slaughter. Moreover..."
He paused, glanced at Chuan Ying who looked somewhat nervous beside him, and then continued, "One of them is Long Li's father."
"Ah? Sister Long Li's father?"
Jiang Yu's mouth dropped open in surprise, then she suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! No wonder! Brother, you're doing this for your wife's sake!"
"However," Jiang Feng changed the subject, his tone turning colder, "I don't necessarily want to send them into the strange world. It depends on their sincerity."
Jiang Yu asked, "What kind of sincerity?"
Jiang Feng said calmly, "I will soon pacify the forbidden zone. Those supreme beings and people from the underworld will surely join forces to resist. If they are willing to help me, then I will help them become immortals in the mortal world. If they are unwilling and just watch from the sidelines, then I will send them to the strange world, which will be more than enough."
Jiang Yu nodded, indicating that she understood.
However, he didn't need to say these things to Jiang Yu.
Primordial Ancient Mine.
After Wanlong Emperor and Qilin Ancient Emperor returned, an acquaintance of the Ancient Emperor immediately sent a secret telepathic message to them: "Brother Wanlong, Brother Qilin, did you see the Heavenly Emperor when you went to the Heavenly Court? How is he?"
As agreed with Jiang Feng, Wanlonghuang replied in a deep voice, his tone carrying just the right amount of solemnity and uncertainty: "I saw him. His aura... is indeed somewhat unstable, and his complexion is not as good as usual. His speech is occasionally hesitant, as if he is suppressing his injuries. But he concealed the extent of his injuries very well, and we dare not say for sure. However... he doesn't seem to be at his peak."
He didn't rule out any possibility of definitive conclusions.
But this ambiguous statement makes it easier for those suspicious rulers to believe it.
"really!"
The ancient emperor, who had been asking the question, perked up. "Even you observing him up close can tell he's not right. It seems he's truly badly injured! The flaw that the one from the Underworld mentioned might actually be true! Our chance has come!"
Wanlonghuang sneered inwardly, but outwardly advised, "Fellow Daoist, you must be cautious. The Heavenly Emperor is unfathomable; he may be up to no good."
"A trap? Ha, Brother Wanlong, when did you become so cowardly? Opportunity knocks but once! If you dare not, then wait patiently for good news in the ancient mine! Once we have devoured the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit and achieved the supreme immortal path, do not be envious!"
The ancient emperor disagreed, instead believing that the Myriad Dragon Emperor was either afraid or wanted to monopolize the benefits.
Emperor Wanlong said no more, only adding a final word of advice: "In that case, fellow Daoist, take care. My Primordial Ancient Mine will not participate in this matter."
He said this intentionally to other supreme beings who might still be hesitating, to draw a clear line and avoid being implicated.
"Hmph, whatever!"
The ancient emperor disdainfully severed the connection.
The Dragon Emperor and the Qilin Ancient Emperor exchanged a glance, both seeing mockery and a hint of...pity in each other's eyes.
Those idiots, they don't even realize they're about to die.
Just as Wanlong Huang was plotting how to further sever ties and secretly keeping an eye on which supreme beings were acting most aggressively so he could take special care of them in the future—
suddenly!
"boom--!!!"
An indescribable, violent tremor, seemingly emanating from the very depths of the universe's origin, swept across the entire Big Dipper star field without warning, and even spread towards the more distant stars!
The supreme pressure of the Heavenly Court, which had always been above all the heavens and myriad paths, suppressing the universe, bringing peace to all beings, and allowing the supreme beings to lie dormant, experienced unprecedented and terrifying violent fluctuations and... decay at this moment!
Like a blazing sun that has shone through the ages, its light suddenly dimmed dramatically, its corona erupted in disarray, and a mournful cry emanated from its core that could silence even the stars!
It was as if the spine supporting the heavens and the earth was emitting a terrible groan, unable to bear the weight and about to collapse!
An indescribable grief and sorrow, originating from the level of the Great Dao, inexplicably arose in the hearts of all human beings in the Beidou region, and even countless beings close to humanity.
Many people, for no apparent reason, had tears welling up in their eyes and felt a deep sorrow in their hearts, as if they were about to lose their most important support and light.
"This is... a sign of the emperor's demise?!"
"No! More terrifying than the fall of an emperor! It's the Heavenly Emperor's... Great Dao wailing? Collapsing?!"
"The Heavenly Emperor... is he really going to pass away?!"
"Oh my god! What happened?"
Countless human cultivators looked up in horror towards the Heavenly Court, their hearts filled with boundless fear and sorrow.
Is their greatest guardian really about to leave?
In stark contrast to the grief and fear felt by all races—
"Hahahaha!!!"
"It's done! It's really done! The Heavenly Emperor's Great Dao is collapsing! He's going to die!"
"Fellow Daoists! What are you waiting for? The Heavenly Emperor is about to fall, the Great Dao is about to collapse. If you don't act now, when will you? Kill! Smash your way to the Heavenly Court! Devour the Heavenly Emperor today!"
"kill--!!!"
The Underworld, the Sea of Reincarnation, the Divine Ruins, the Immortal Tomb... Apart from the Great Primordial Ancient Mine, which explicitly stated that it would not participate, and a few other forbidden zones that were still observing, the deepest parts of seven or eight forbidden zones of life simultaneously erupted with terrifying imperial aura and overwhelming killing intent!
The dark turmoil erupted ahead of schedule, in the most frenzied and resolute manner!
The difference is that their sole target is none other than the soon-to-fall Heavenly Emperor of this era—Jiang Feng!

"Just Became the Heavenly Emperor, My Sister Exposes My Heavenly Court During Live Stream" is currently being serialized and is not to be missed!
What Jiang Feng didn't say was that there were enemies in the strange world as well. The Emperor was there, waiting to plot something big. Letting the Myriad Dragon Emperor and the Ancient Qilin Emperor in might not be a good thing; they might even be used by the Emperor.

The supreme pressure of the Heavenly Court, which had always been above all the heavens and myriad paths, suppressing the universe, bringing peace to all beings, and allowing the supreme beings to lie dormant, experienced unprecedented and terrifying violent fluctuations and... decay at this moment!
Like a blazing sun that has shone through the ages, its light suddenly dimmed dramatically, its corona erupted in disarray, and a mournful cry emanated from its core that could silence even the stars!
It was as if the spine supporting the heavens and the earth was emitting a terrible groan, unable to bear the weight and about to collapse!
An indescribable grief and sorrow, originating from the level of the Great Dao, inexplicably arose in the hearts of all human beings in the Beidou region, and even countless beings close to humanity.
Many people, for no apparent reason, had tears welling up in their eyes and felt a deep sorrow in their hearts, as if they were about to lose their most important support and light.
"This is... a sign of the emperor's demise?!"
"No! More terrifying than the fall of an emperor! It's the Heavenly Emperor's... Great Dao wailing? Collapsing?!"
"The Heavenly Emperor... is he really going to pass away?!"
"Oh my god! What happened?"
Countless human cultivators looked up in horror towards the Heavenly Court, their hearts filled with boundless fear and sorrow.
Is their greatest guardian really about to leave?
In stark contrast to the grief and fear felt by all races—
"Hahahaha!!!"
"It's done! It's really done! The Heavenly Emperor's Great Dao is collapsing! He's going to die!"
"Fellow Daoists! What are you waiting for? The Heavenly Emperor is about to fall, the Great Dao is about to collapse. If you don't act now, when will you? Kill! Smash your way to the Heavenly Court! Devour the Heavenly Emperor today!"
"kill--!!!"
The Underworld, the Sea of Reincarnation, the Divine Ruins, the Immortal Tomb... Apart from the Great Primordial Ancient Mine, which explicitly stated that it would not participate, and a few other forbidden zones that were still observing, the deepest parts of seven or eight forbidden zones of life simultaneously erupted with terrifying imperial aura and overwhelming killing intent!
The dark turmoil erupted ahead of schedule, in the most frenzied and resolute manner!
The difference is that their sole target is none other than the soon-to-fall Heavenly Emperor of this era—Jiang Feng!
