Even a discarded "Shu Jian Lu" would have been fought over, yet it turned out to be worthless, saving a lot of trouble.
"The more I look, the more familiar it seems. That really is... the Cultivation God Emperor!"
"The Cultivation God Emperor is here?" the crowd surged.
"We pay our respects to the Cultivation God Emperor! If it weren't for you, Cultivation God Emperor, killing the Undying Demon Emperor and the Ancient Immortal Emperor, and driving the Undying race out of the Ancient Cultivation Realm, we would have long since been dead and buried. Please accept our bow!"
Ming Zhitian waved his hand, and a surge of immortal spiritual energy lifted everyone who was about to kneel. "No need for such formalities. This is what I should do."
The shopkeeper hastily presented a thousand-item pill to return it. Ming Zhitian waved him off. "An exchange of equivalent value. No need for this. I have other matters to attend to, so I bid you farewell."
"Huh? I haven't even gotten your autograph yet!"
Ming Zhitian disliked crowds. He left grandly with the Star Empress.
As they walked on the vast countryside grassland, the Star Empress appeared somewhat dazed and distracted. Ming Zhitian asked, "What's wrong?"
The Star Empress shook her head slightly, looking at the dim silver tinkling grass in her hand. "I'm hungry."
Ming Zhitian said, "Then I'll take you to eat first."
The Star Empress then ate the dim silver tinkling grass, chewing with gusto. After finishing, she said, "I'm still hungry."
Ming Zhitian was a little surprised. "Could it be that you are cultivating some technique that requires you to consume dim silver tinkling grass?"
The Star Empress shook her head. "I don't know."
Ming Zhitian said, "By the way, Star Empress, have you remembered anything?"
The Star Empress shook her head.
Ming Zhitian smiled slightly. "It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Don't force yourself. Come, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Entering the city, they found a tavern and ordered a table full of immortal delicacies. However, the Star Empress had no appetite.
They took her to see an immortal physician, who said it was normal. Moreover, cultivators indeed did not need to eat, so they didn't pay it much mind.
Carrying the immortal delicacies, they arrived at a secluded immortal mountain peak. Ming Zhitian looked into the boundless distance, filled with emotion. "On the distant Earth, are you well? Master Sage, your unworthy disciple has finally returned. I apologize, but I cannot bring you back from Earth to the Ancient Cultivation Realm yet. Today, your disciple and your disciple's wife will first pay respects to you."
Ming Zhitian buried the flawed "Shu Jian Lu" in the soil. "Master Sage, do you remember the three things you entrusted to your disciple? One, to avenge you. Piao Yan is dead. Two, to find the 'Shu Jian Lu'. Your disciple has brought it to you today. Three, to find your disciple's wife. Your disciple has brought her. You must be watching us from the infinite cosmos, right? Master Sage, rest assured, as soon as I have the opportunity, I will return to Earth to bring you back. This is my promise."
The soil absorbed the essence of the sun and moon and suddenly glowed! From the "Shu Jian Lu," an supreme divine artifact was created!
Looking at the supreme magic sword, faintly visible with a grayish-silver glow, Ming Zhitian held it in his hand. "Supreme divine artifact? I shall name you Wujian! You will follow me from now on."
Before they had walked many steps, Weisheng arrived with dozens of people, surrounding Ming Zhitian and the Star Empress.
Weisheng burst into laughter. "What a coincidence. Hand over all the treasures on your person and the peerless beauty by your side, then crawl between this young master's legs twice..."
"Are you finished?" Ming Zhitian interrupted him.
Weisheng was very displeased that he had been interrupted! "Bastard! Guards! Chop this little mongrel into eighty pieces!"
The subordinates swarmed forward!
Ming Zhitian merely released his spiritual pressure, which directly scattered them to the ground, rendering them all unable to rise!
Weisheng was so terrified that he forgot to flee. "You... who on earth are you?"
Ming Zhitian advanced step by step. "For those who wish to kill me and those by my side, I, Ming Zhitian, will show no mercy."
