Chapter 338 Imperial Weapon Changes Hands
As the first emperor after the ancient times, the Azure Emperor attained enlightenment more than 30,000 years ago. Logically speaking, his descendants should be at their peak now.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. In just ten thousand years, the descendants of the Demon Emperor have dwindled to a few, and they were almost taken advantage of by outsiders.

Fortunately, all of that is in the past. Yan Ruyu, the former pearl of the Eastern Wilderness, has risen to prominence and, wielding the Chaos Green Lotus, no one dares to provoke her.

Over the years, her whereabouts have been uncertain, and there have even been rumors that she left Beidou, but it seems that this is not the case now; she is still with Beidou.

"Long time no see." Qi Zhe met the other person's gaze with a smile, his eyes filled with appreciation.

He had interacted with her in the past, but there was no real emotional entanglement between them. Even though they had been paired up, he could still take it in stride.

Yan Ruyu smiled wryly upon hearing this, feeling that Qi Zhe was just as he had always been, with a serene indifference that had remained unchanged over the years.

At this moment, others also arrived. Weiwei, the current Holy Lord of Yaoguang, slowly walked over and smiled calmly at Qi Zhe:
"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm and now looking down upon the starry sky."

Although Yao Guang has severed ties with Qi Zhe, she still feels honored by Qi Zhe's rise to become a quasi-emperor, and now she brings Qi Zhe a precious treasure.

"To this day, Yao Guang no longer needs this cauldron!"

As Weiwei spoke, divine light flashed around her, and a large cauldron with four legs and two handles suddenly appeared in the celestial palace, radiating a faint imperial aura.

"The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron!" Someone in the palace exclaimed in shock, overwhelmed with mixed feelings, realizing that the Yao Guang Holy Land had handed over its imperial weapon.

No one expected Weiwei to come like this, which caused an immediate and profound silence in the palace, and some ancient clans turned pale.

But what the world didn't know was that Weiwei had her own plans. She knew the origin of this giant cauldron and was determined to make a final break with the ruthless lineage.

After all, the Yao Guang lineage no longer has any resources to suppress, and once Qi Zhe accepts this imperial cauldron, no force will dare to provoke Yao Guang anymore.

If a living quasi-emperor controls an imperial weapon, everyone would be afraid of the other party blocking the door with an imperial weapon. Even a behemoth wouldn't be foolish enough to do that.

Qi Zhe stood silently, staring at the black imperial cauldron in front of him. For a moment, he was in a daze and realized what Weiwei was planning.

"Fine!"

Qi Zhe did not hesitate for long. After a moment's thought, he decided to accept the cauldron and took it in his hand.

He still has a long and arduous road ahead of him, and he needs this cauldron to help him for a while, so he's too lazy to feign reluctance now.

Even though Qi Zhe had not yet activated the Emperor Cauldron, it was still flashing with divine light, causing many Great Saints to feel a chill run down their spines.

The next moment, Qi Zhe summoned a treasure bottle. The bottle rippled with azure light, its mouth as deep as an abyss, and wisps of quasi-emperor power emanated from it.

"Swoosh!" At this moment, the treasure bottle rippled through the void and arrived in front of Weiwei. Qi Zhe said, "You can take this first."

This is the Great Dao Treasure Bottle that Qi Zhe refined in the past. Qi Zhe has been refining it frequently, and now it is a quasi-Emperor Weapon.

Back then, there was also an empty shell of a quasi-emperor's stone body. Now, that empty shell has also been taken out by Qi Zhe and sealed in the Chaos Stone Gate long ago.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Weiwei accepted the treasure bottle, and many thoughts came to mind, with Yaoguang's past flashing before her eyes.

But now there's no need to say more, because all of that is in the past.

"Congratulations!" Yan Ruyu was surprised to see Qi Zhe wield the imperial weapon, but she still offered her congratulations. Many other sages in the palace did the same.

"Having an imperial weapon in hand gives me more confidence." Gai Jiuyou, sitting not far away, smiled upon seeing this.

The next moment, he took his leave, saying that if Qi Zhe had any doubts on the path to enlightenment, he could go to the Qinling Mountains to find him. Subsequently, the ancient royal family's great saints, including Xuehuang Mountain, also took their leave, not wanting to stay any longer, unable to bear seeing Qi Zhe so glorious.

Only the ancestral king of Shencan Ridge smiled and invited Qi Zhe, saying that if he had time, he could go to Shencan Ridge, where Qi Zhe would be very welcome.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the royal family's great saints changed. They reluctantly invited Qi Zhe to visit their ancestral land, expressing their welcome.

Qi Zhe smiled and said, "It's a deal. I will visit you soon."

Seeing this, many sages from beyond the realms departed one after another, and soon more than half of them had left. Then, even many human forces from the Eastern Wilderness began to take their leave.

The bright moon hangs high, the night is cool as water, the celestial palaces and pavilions in the holy city are empty, sages from all over the world have left one after another, and only a few people remain.

Qi Zhe did not linger there. He accepted Yao Yuekong's invitation to go to the Heavenly Demon Pavilion to continue drinking.

Inside the Heavenly Demon Pavilion is a peach grove. Qi Zhe is currently sitting cross-legged under a peach tree, with a table in front of him laden with delicacies, while Shou Xin sits cross-legged beside him.

The peach grove was quite tranquil in the night, with moonlight shining down like silk and a hazy mist rising up, making it seem like a fairyland on earth.

“Our generation has all come.” Yao Yuekong looked at the cultivators gathered in the peach grove and was overwhelmed with emotion.

Many people were not satisfied in that celestial palace just now, and now many of the former holy sons and daughters have gathered here, and a generation is being reborn.

The head of the Ji family has changed, and the alluring and seductive Ji Biyue has become the Holy Master of the Ji family. However, she now looks quite dignified with her hair tied up in a high bun.

As always, the handsome and refined Jiang Yifei remained detached and untouched by worldly affairs. He raised his cup to the moon under the peach grove, his expression serene.

"But many people have been gone for many years. Ji Haoyue and Ye Fan have been fighting in the starry sky for many years now. I wonder where they are now."

Jiang Yifei spoke up at this moment, and at this moment he even thought of Yao Guang Shengzi and Hua Yunfei, those two outstanding people whose lives ended in tragedy.

Qi Zhe nodded upon hearing this. He had also thought of many people, not only the human race's prodigies, but also Huang Xudao, Huo Qizi, and Shencan Daoren.

However, at this moment, Ji Biyue, who was sitting not far from Qi Zhe, suddenly turned her head to look at Qi Zhe, and said with a hint of inexplicable expression:

"Brother Qi once said that I would wash your feet and warm your bed. I wonder if that still holds true today. If it does, it would be nice to be by the Emperor's side."

The peach grove fell silent. Ji Biyue's composure was indeed an act; she remained as she always had, completely unconcerned about the opinions of others.

"Pfft!" Qi Zhe choked and was speechless for a moment, but still managed a wry smile and said, "Young man, you were just joking. Miss Biyue, why take it seriously?"

But the next moment Qi Zhe chuckled and said, "However, it's not impossible. When I become emperor next year and establish a great clan, I would like to ask Miss Biyue to lend me a hand."

At this moment, everyone rolled their eyes, and Ji Biyue was speechless, unable to help but say, "You really have no class!"

"Haha, Brother Qi, your charm is as good as ever! Let's have a drink!" Yao Yuekong shouted loudly from the side, holding a wine glass, clearly surprised by Qi Zhe's words.

"Hey, how can that be considered tasteless? That's called being carefree." Qi Zhe smiled as he raised his wine glass, his eyes sparkling with memories of the past century, and he was momentarily a little drunk.

Qi Zhe's journey has been difficult; he has often walked alone, accompanied only by the dark sky, and has not laughed heartily for many years.

Now that we can laugh heartily, we should naturally have a good drink.
