Chapter 1344: Chapter 1292–1293 Fundamental Basis of Establishing Oneself Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder Chapter 1344: Chapter 1292–1293 Fundamental Basis of Establishing Oneself Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder In this realm of Martial Arts Cultivation, where the mysteries of Martial Arts evolve into the controlling of Laws, each Great Ancient Emperor has limited control over these Laws, which serve as the foundation of their existence.
However, the path of the Great Myriad Laws Emperor was to control all laws. Regardless of whether he could truly achieve this, it meant that his path was in conflict with those of the original Great Ancient Emperors. His growth would inevitably encroach on the interests of other Great Ancient Emperors, something the others could not tolerate.
Thus, the fall of that original Great Myriad Laws Emperor was hardly without the joint opposition of other Great Ancient Emperors.
In such a circumstance, the very existence of Myriad Laws Building was exceedingly surprising to Pei Xuanjing. After all, if it were left to more ruthless individuals, they would certainly have completely buried Myriad Laws Building, not allowing any threats to arise.
Even so, with the existence of the former Great Myriad Laws Emperor, it meant that the rest of the Great Ancient Emperors would absolutely not allow another Great Myriad Laws Emperor to emerge. It was utterly impossible for the master of Myriad Laws Building to certify his Tao.
Even without the appearance of Pei Xuanjing and others, it would have been acceptable if the master of Myriad Laws Building’s cultivation had stopped at the very limit of the Supreme King. However, the moment he tried to certify his Tao, he was undoubtedly doomed.
In Pei Xuanjing’s view, the existence of Myriad Laws Building was simply a target, a source of power for various imperial dynasties and Holy Lands, like a white glove.
“Are you the master of the heavenly gate?” Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder asked aloud to Pei Xuanjing.
As for the implications of the strong man’s previous statement, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder seemed not to have heard it, remaining noncommittal and skipping right over it.
However, even as he spoke, his heart was profoundly shocked. The power of this master of the heavenly gate was indeed terrifying, probably belonging to the owner of that gigantic hand from before.
In the eyes of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, the man before him seemed devoid of any strength, appearing like an ordinary person who had never cultivated.
Yet, there were imprints left by the Great Myriad Laws Emperor on Myriad Laws Mountain. Despite the passage of countless ages, these imprints had not faded in the slightest. Ordinary people, let alone Martial Artists who had not entered the King Realm, couldn’t set foot here.
Moreover, the profound and towering charisma of the other party was extraordinary, definitely not something an ordinary powerhouse could exhibit. Therefore, he instinctively believed that this person was the Lord of the Heavenly Gate, the mysterious strong figure from before.
“Not at all, I am not the Lord of the Heavenly Gate,” Pei Xuanjing replied with a smile and a shake of his head. During his speech, he gestured towards a stone stool beside him, saying, “I am the Emperor of Longevity. Please, have a seat, Saint Lord.”
“So it is the Emperor of Longevity! I must admit I am somewhat unsophisticated,” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder said, showing a hint of surprise in his eyes as he sat down.
As a Great Ancient Emperor who had lived for a long time, he had never heard of such a title as Emperor of Longevity, not even similar titles.
He even speculated whether this might be someone who had lived even longer than him.
Creating a completely different system of cultivation was no day’s work and required not just wisdom but also time.
Like the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder himself, not to mention creating a new system, even continuously perfecting and addressing flaws in the existing Martial Arts had only amounted to making repairs over tens of thousands of years, far from achieving a real transformation.
Thus, when he heard this powerhouse who called himself Emperor of Longevity, he naturally assumed that the other was an old relic who had lived even longer than himself, and after having fully developed a new system of cultivation, he had emerged to plot something.
The two engaged in mutual probing over a conversation on Myriad Laws Mountain, discussing hidden matters of the world, enabling Pei Xuanjing to understand this world even better.
Pei Xuanjing, too, shared some of his knowledge. Although his lifespan wasn’t as extended as the other’s, his wide-ranging experiences were in no way inferior to those of the Saint Lord, and the two began on quite friendly terms.
Of course, this so-called cordial conversation was merely superficial. They both understood that the real probing of intentions and boundaries would come when they addressed the true substance of their discourse.
“It makes me curious, your Emperor’s strength is so formidable, yet you are not the Lord of the Heavenly Gate, which indeed surprises me,” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder said quietly.
Although their understanding was preliminary, the other far surpassed him in both experience and cultivation insight.
If such a person was not the Lord of the Heavenly Gate, then he was curious about who this mysterious Lord of the Heavenly Gate could be?
He absolutely didn’t believe the so-called Lord of the Heavenly Gate was a facade; nor was it a Martial Artist of average strength, because that was impossible.
One must first consider the several deputy masters at the heavenly gate. Not mentioning the others, all of whom were Supreme Kings, but focusing solely on that mysterious Supreme King who once challenged Emperor Tianyang, the person was capable of challenging an Emperor, yet they were not the actual master.
This meant that the actual master’s strength exceeded that of the mysterious Lord of Fire, otherwise the Lord of Fire would absolutely not be subordinated. This was an immutable rule.
“The power of heavenly gate is unfathomable…” This was the first thought that arose in the mind of Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder.
After this thought arose, even the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder himself was rather unsure whether his decision to come here today was right or wrong.
Indeed, being the first Emperor to react, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had intended to take advantage of the heavenly gate’s necessity to value talent, therefore, securing some advantages and reaching a mutual alliance to benefit himself.
