Legend of the Perfect Emperor Chapter 13: Ten Figures

Dragon's Peak.

Dragon's Peak was named after a mountain there that was shaped like a dragon that spiraled all the way towards the heavens, piercing through the clouds; it was so surreal that if one looked at it from a distance, they might mistake it as a real dragon trying to pierce the heavens, dreaming of the starry sky.

Two figures sat on the peak of the dragon mountain, silently watching the hundreds of figures soaring towards their location from a distance, the number growing larger with every passing second.

"Are you sure about this, Sect Master?" one of the two figures, a middle-aged man with a serious expression said. "If they find out the truth, forget about our lives, the entire Sect will be demolished!"

The old man beside the middle-aged man chuckled. "If you keep your mouth shut, nobody will find out!" he said in a voice filled with confidence before disappearing from the mountain peak and appearing in the crowd of people.

At the bottom of the mountain was a group of people currently undergoing the Sect Entrance Exam for the Divine Chicken Sect, one of the few well-known Sects within the Qing Shan Continent.

The participants of the Sect Entrance Exam was, of course, clueless as to why so many people had suddenly started showing up as if there was a treasure hunt happening in the vicinity.

"T-That's the Sect Master of Fairy Paradise Mountain! What's she doing all the way out here?!"

"L-Look over there! T-That's a Supreme Elder from the Forest of Beauty!"

"My heavens! Why is there so many exalted beings gathering over here?!"

The participants of the entrance exam were excited to see so many legendary figures in the cultivation world all at once, yet terrified because of their awe-inspiring and mountain-like presence. What could have possibly happened here to summon so many heaven-defying characters?!

The participants began pushing their limits hoping one of these legendary figures might somehow notice them and change the very core of their life.

One hour after the rumors were spread throughout the Qing Shan Continent, the number of people gathered in Dragon's Peak was close to ten thousand, and of course, most of them were females.

After hearing the rumor of Tian Yi appearing in Dragon's Peak, everybody wanted to show their faces even if the chances of the rumors being false were extremely high. Nobody wanted to miss even the slightest chance of seeing Tian Yi, after all.

"Who started this rumor in the first place?" asked one of the legendary figures, the Sect Master of Fairy Paradise Mountain. "I heard it from one of my disciples."

"I heard it from one of my servants who heard it from her friend's friend…" replied a princess from some city.

"I heard it from some pedestrian when I was strolling around town in a disguise…" replied an ancient cultivator.

"So nobody knows the origin of this rumor?"

The people started to find the situation a bit suspicious. Although the chances were not zero, who would dare to use His Highness's name and for what reason?

"The rumors started two hours ago; shouldn't His Highness be gone by now? And even if he didn't leave, once he sees so many people… What are we even doing here?" asked some people who were involuntarily dragged there by their friends.

"Isn't it obvious?! If His Highness had shown up here, who do you think will be here to investigate?"

"T-The Celestial God Army!"

"That's right! The strongest army under heavens, the Celestial God Army! Even if we don't get to see His Highness, how often do you think people will get the chance to see soldiers from the Celestial God Army?"

"Y-You're certainly right…" Those who were skeptical about staying no longer wished to leave, their hearts filled with anticipation to witness the entrance of the strongest force under heavens.

And just as that conversation ended, the heavens flashed, turning the entire dark sky golden.

"The Celestial God Army is here!" Everybody there held their breaths as a group of ten figures clad in golden armor descended from the golden heaven like an Army of Gods.

The moment these ten figures showed up, the atmosphere instantly changed; it was as if true kings had arrived in a place full of fake ones.

The Sect Master of Fairy Paradise Mountain, the Supreme Elders, the Ancient Cultivators, all of these legendary figures and their awe-inspiring auras were suppressed just from the ten figure's appearance.

One of the ten figures in the sky suddenly held up an arm with a crystal ball in his grasp.

One second, two seconds, three seconds. The figure stood there unmoving for a whole minute.

Everybody there continued to hold their breaths, some even looked pale from holding it too long.

After a few more seconds, the figure retrieved his arm with the crystal ball, shaking his head. "Another miss; His Highness was never here," said the figure.

The other nine sighed inwardly. This was their tenth time hearing a rumor of His Highness appearing somewhere, and whenever they appeared to investigate, they would always have the same result.

'Which bastard has enough guts to spread so many false rumors of His Highness?' they all wondered.

With no positive result, there was no longer any reason for them to stay, so the ten figures disappeared in front of everybody there like ghosts.

After the ten figures left, the sky returned to its former color and the people were able to breathe again.

"S-So that was the Celestial God Army, the strongest army under heaven!" The Sect Master of Fairy Paradise Mountain mumbled in awe. Despite being a Heavenly Monarch stage expert, she felt like an ant watching an elephant in the distance.
