NOVPUBChapter 1142: Chapter 945 Two Months Passed Chapter 1142: Chapter 945 Two Months Passed “I was actually left behind…”
Unlike those ordinary Ghost Practitioners who were thrilled to be left behind, the Tri-Eyed Emperor felt rather uneasy.
Although he reacted very quickly later, being the first to bow and pay homage to the Blood Emperor, at the beginning, he was also among the first to lead a group of Ghost Practitioners in attacking the Lord Blood Emperor, especially since he was the initial breaker of the 36th Layered Heaven and at that time considered the supreme ruler of the Netherworld’s highest heaven. Moreover, countless Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld had already secretly hailed him as the foremost Ghost Practitioner in the Netherworld.
The Blood Emperor wanted him to stay, but could it be to look for trouble with him?
Or perhaps, the Blood Emperor was displeased upon hearing him previously being called the number one Ghost Practitioner of the Netherworld?
However, after thinking it over, he felt that it shouldn’t be the case; the Blood Emperor had a style that presumably wouldn’t stoop so low. Besides, he had never admitted to being the top Ghost Practitioner of the Netherworld; it was all other Ghost Practitioners who called him that in private.
Just now, the Blood Emperor fought so many Ghost Practitioners alone and displayed strength far surpassing theirs; he was undoubtedly the first and strongest in the Netherworld and probably wouldn’t care about this matter.
Maybe the Blood Emperor left him behind simply because he had high hopes for him? Just like the goal of retaining the other Ghost Practitioners?
Even though the Tri-Eyed Emperor’s thoughts leaned towards this, he was still very worried at heart.
This is the reason of the unknown, which is what Cultivators fear the most, for you never know what the next second might bring.
“The Blood Emperor actually kept the Tri-Eyed Emperor but not us…”
“Forget it, we just dared to have designs on the Blood Emperor. The fact that he didn’t hold it against us is already very fortunate…”
“Or maybe, when the Blood Emperor was eyeing us for such a long time before, he was actually considering whether to keep us or not? In the end, he decided not to keep us?”
“However, it’s unclear why the Blood Emperor is keeping the Tri-Eyed Emperor. Maybe it’s because the Tri-Eyed Emperor led us to attack him, so he wants to punish the Tri-Eyed Emperor? It’s quite normal, after all, as they say, when the law does not punish the many, it targets the chief culprit…”
“It could also be that seeing the strength of the Tri-Eyed Emperor, the Blood Emperor intends to forcibly subjugate him…”
Elsewhere, seeing that the Tri-Eyed Emperor was also left behind by Lin Yun, both Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud had changing facial expressions, filled with complex emotions. Aside from the slight schadenfreude arising from their wishful thinking, they felt an even greater jealousy.
For they knew that being kept by the Blood Emperor likely meant a good outcome for the Tri-Eyed Emperor and probably not something bad. It could very well be related to the fact that the Tri-Eyed Emperor was the first to bow to the Blood Emperor, just like the later-following Lily Emperor, Frubor, and other Ghost Practitioners.
What a pity, they didn’t know the identity of the Blood Emperor before and didn’t have the same opportunity as the Tri-Eyed Emperor; later on, they were not as astute and never bowed to the Blood Emperor like the Lily Emperor and other Ghost Practitioners did.
Otherwise, they might have remained here to cultivate as well.
They thought with great regret.
Soon, after the Ghost Practitioners finished their greetings and discussions, they left one after another toward the 36th Layered Heaven space.
Without the Lord of the 36th Layered Heaven, the Tri-Eyed Emperor, following, some of the more suspicious Ghost Practitioner powerhouses felt a sense of relief. Although the reputation of the Tri-Eyed Emperor spread out was mostly good, who knows what his true nature was behind closed doors; if they entered the 36th Layered Heaven and the Tri-Eyed Emperor suddenly attacked them, it would be troublesome.
Now, with the Tri-Eyed Emperor being kept here, it was just perfect.
…
In the space of the 40th Layered Heaven, amidst opening up new areas,
Lin Yun had already begun sitting in meditation in an area rich with energy.
Seeing that most of the Ghost Practitioner powerhouses had left, with only a few designated ones remaining, he transmitted a message to reassure these Ghost Practitioners to cultivate in peace, and then no longer concerned himself with them, continuing with his cultivation.
As some Ghost Practitioners suspected, opening up the 37th Layered Heaven was indeed a monumental project; having some Ghost Practitioners cultivate here would not impact it too much.
Especially since this time, it was the breaking through of four New Layered Heavens simultaneously, with energy from heaven and earth descending that was extremely vast, allowing some Ghost Practitioners to cultivate in the already stable and established 37th Layered Heaven for some days with even less impact.
Lin Yun was not a petty man and did not mind letting some seemingly agreeable Ghost Practitioner powerhouses stay to cultivate.
Some Ghost Practitioners indeed had some dealings with him in the past, like just now, these Ghost Practitioners either had never harbored any ill will toward him or had ceased to feel animosity upon knowing his identity, instead developing some concerns for him. He did not mind letting these Ghost Practitioners take some advantage conveniently.
Ever since he discovered that the Netherworld did not reject his body, he did not view the Netherworld as just an ordinary place of cultivation.
He had a feeling that the Netherworld could be very important to him, particularly when he would return to the Divine Clan and find himself against those New Gods.
According to the analyses of many Ghost Practitioners and even many Spirit World powerhouses, the Netherworld might very well be a presence that could hold its own against the grand Spirit World, a parallel existence, only not yet developed.
But since the flow of time in the Netherworld is many times that of the Spirit World, given this situation, it’s only a matter of time before the Netherworld catches up with the development of the Spirit World.
