This was Huang Tianhao's thought.
He knew that Xu Fengqiu had the Supreme Bone and the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.
These two things were what any Immortal Emperor would want to obtain.
Then…
In this upcoming trip to the ruins…
You, Xu Fengqiu, must be careful.
If there was a chance.
He believed that, whether it was the Poison Emperor or these so-called righteous Immortal Emperors.
They would definitely stab Xu Fengqiu in the back.
Dare to be close to Luo Liuli?
Don't you even look at your own status?
"So it's Friend Xu, I've long admired your name, nice to meet you." Venerable Zhentian cupped his fist towards Xu Fengqiu.
Status was status.
In these Nine Provinces, strength was always supreme.
Xu Fengqiu's actions, coupled with being an Immortal Emperor.
Had shocked these long-established experts.
Even if Xu Fengqiu was a junior, they would never underestimate him.
"I've met the seniors." Xu Fengqiu cupped his fist and said.
"I've long heard of Friend Xu's great name, seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary. I heard that Friend Xu entered the Dao through poetry, directly advancing to the third rank of Immortal Emperor?" Immortal Emperor Undying asked.
"Just good luck." Xu Fengqiu said.
To be honest, they were extremely envious.
They had cultivated for thousands of years to achieve their current realm.
This Xu Fengqiu was good, his cultivation rising rapidly.
He even entered the Dao through poetry, directly advancing two ranks in the Immortal Emperor realm.
These two ranks of theirs had cost them more than just a few hundred years.
They didn't know that Xu Fengqiu was now even at the fourth rank of Immortal Emperor.
However, they thought that Xu Fengqiu's combat strength should be quite ordinary.
Although he destroyed Misty Peak with his own strength.
But after all, he relied more on external forces.
If he were to fight with his true strength.
He should not be a match for an ordinary third-rank Immortal Emperor.
"Hahaha, luck is only one aspect."
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth.
Damn it!
This Xu Fengqiu, a Lone Star of Calamity, wouldn't he be improving himself by absorbing the luck of others?
In the previous life, he didn't withstand the backlash of the Lone Star of Calamity.
In this life, after he withstood it, he became unstoppable?
Damn!
He's with him now, something's going to happen.
No!
He really has to do something.
If it really doesn't work, whoever covets his Supreme Bone and Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, find a chance to kill him.
He, Xiao Chen, doesn't want it anymore, is that okay?
"So, among our one thousand people this time, there are six Immortal Emperors."
If there were no accidents, Immortal Emperor Zhentian, Immortal Emperor Undying, Sword Emperor, and Mo Qianqiu should all be at the fifth rank of Immortal Emperor.
"Those in the Heavenly Dao realm, step forward." Immortal Emperor Zhentian said.
Subsequently, more than a hundred Heavenly Dao stepped out.
Xiao Chen was also among them.
However, most of them looked no longer young.
Only about ten or so people looked like they were in their twenties or thirties.
Many of these Heavenly Dao were actually old guys who were thousands of years old.
They might be seeking a breakthrough to Immortal Emperor, or they might be here to protect their family's young masters and young ladies.
It's just that they were randomly separated.
Most other people, they should be of ordinary talent, but in order to make a name for themselves and change their fate against the heavens, they risked coming to this ruin to seek opportunities.
"As for this ruin, we are all unfamiliar with it. Being in the secret realm of the ruin's owner, we don't know what kind of dangers and opportunities he will leave behind, but I hope that everyone will not act rashly, so as not to bring trouble to themselves and everyone."
"Yes!"
"Then now, let's see what we are about to face."
They began to formally look around.
There was nothing strange about the place.
It was just surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Whoosh—
Immortal Emperor Zhentian tried to fly out, but found that there was a powerful force that prevented them from crossing the surrounding mountains.
Xiao Chen knew what was going to happen.
Next, there will be a choice.
Choose the difficulty of the predicament they will encounter.
This ruin was more like a game of the ruin's owner.
"Look!"
Someone pointed to the sky above.
Everyone looked over.
In the sky, twelve huge golden plaque patterns appeared.
A few strands of golden light converged into a line of words.
"The plaques are numbered from one to twelve, with difficulty ranging from low to high. Please choose any plaque."
Xiao Chen said: "Senior Immortal Emperor Zhentian, please choose."
In the previous life, it was Immortal Emperor Zhentian who chose.
He chose difficulty three.
This difficulty was not high.
He easily passed this place.
Immortal Emperor Zhentian stroked his beard and looked at Xu Fengqiu and said: "Why don't Friend Xu choose."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen trembled all over.
What?
Xu Fengqiu choose?
Why inexplicably let Xu Fengqiu choose?
He was a Lone Star of Calamity, he would definitely choose the most difficult one.
Then, this trip to the ruins was different from his, Xiao Chen's, previous life.
"Should I choose?" Xu Fengqiu asked.
"Yes! It's all up to fate, it doesn't matter."
Everyone nodded: "Indeed, it doesn't matter too much."
Xiao Chen stood up and quickly said: "Immortal Emperor Zhentian, everyone, no, don't let Young Master Xu choose."
Xu Fengqiu glanced at Xiao Chen, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly.
"Oh? Why?"
Immortal Emperor Zhentian asked.
Xiao Chen then gritted his teeth and said: "Young Master Xu is a Lone Star of Calamity, if he chooses, we will inevitably suffer."
"Hahaha—"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha! Little Friend Xiao Chen, you are really humorous. Friend Xu is a Lone Star of Calamity? Hahaha, anyone in this world could be a Lone Star of Calamity, but Xu Fengqiu is absolutely impossible."
Immortal Emperor Zhentian said with a smile.
Sword Emperor also nodded: "Lone Star of Calamity? Lone Star of Calamity achieving Immortal Emperor at twenty-eight years old? Lone Star of Calamity entering the Dao through poetry? Lone Star of Calamity, the entire Xu family is thriving?"
Huang Tianhao looked at Xiao Chen and also said: "Brother Xiao, I also said just now, this is absolutely impossible. Whatever you have experienced, it's all a coincidence, definitely not because of Brother Xu."
Xu Fengqiu said: "This Emperor has indeed had some things happen with Xiao Chen, and it is indeed a bit strange."
"This Emperor would rather believe that Little Friend Xiao Chen is a Lone Star of Calamity." Immortal Emperor Undying of Hundred Flowers Valley said with a smile.
Xiao Chen became anxious: "Everyone, I, Xiao Chen, am not an unknown person either, you understand, I, Xiao Chen, naturally understand, so why would I say some ridiculous words for no reason? Please believe me, anyone else can choose."
Immortal Emperor Zhentian smiled and said: "According to you, there is a Lone Star of Calamity by our side, wouldn't that mean we will all suffer this trip?"
"Yes! So I suggest it's better to just kill…" Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and still didn't say it, changing the subject: "It must be someone else who chooses."
Immortal Emperor Undying stroked his beard and said: "Rather than everyone guessing and feeling uneasy, it's better to let Friend Xu choose. As long as you don't choose the most difficult twelfth level of difficulty, wouldn't that be able to break the rumors? So, for both reason and emotion, it's even more necessary for Friend Xu to choose."
Huang Tianhao nodded: "Senior is right."
Everyone also nodded repeatedly.
Immortal Emperor Undying looked at Xu Fengqiu and said: "Friend Xu, please choose."
"No! Really no!" Xiao Chen shouted.
"Enough!" Immortal Emperor Zhentian scolded: "Xiao Chen, don't influence others anymore, it's extremely ridiculous. If he, Xu Fengqiu, is a Lone Star of Calamity, this old man will take off his head."
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and didn't say anything anymore.
"Friend Xu, please choose."
Xu Fengqiu nodded, then looked at it with his hands behind his back.
Swish—
Then, he condensed spiritual power, and a flame impacted one of the plaque patterns.
Swish—
The other eleven patterns disappeared.
And the plaque that Xu Fengqiu attacked slowly revealed a number.
Twelve.
Everyone: "…"
