Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

After a long while, the voice of the Quasi-Emperor of Huangshan finally came from inside the cave.

"Wu Peng, are you sure the Emperor's tomb really exists?"

"You should know what will happen if you deceive me."

Wu Peng was immediately drenched in sweat. He quickly prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, we have already sent people to confirm that there is a high probability that an Emperor's tomb exists in that star field."

As soon as Wu Peng finished speaking, he instantly felt the pressure on his body increase.

Emperor Huangshan coldly replied, "Perhaps?"

Wu Peng quickly said, "We haven't determined the exact location of the Emperor's tomb yet, so..."

Before Wu Peng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Huangshan.

"Since the location of the Emperor's tomb has not been determined, you still dare to disturb me. It seems you really don't know what death means."

As soon as Emperor Huangshan finished speaking, he came out of the cave. The next moment, Emperor Huangshan appeared in front of Wu Peng.

Emperor Huangshan had gray hair and wrinkled skin, and looked very old.

When Wu Peng saw that Emperor Huangshan had left the cave directly, he was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Emperor Huangshan to come out of seclusion so quickly. He thought that he would need to tell Emperor Huangshan about the process of discovering the Great Emperor's tomb before Emperor Huangshan would come out.

After all, Emperor Huangshan was already in the process of breaking through to the Great Emperor stage. He would definitely not come out unless it was absolutely necessary. The news about the Great Emperor's tomb was not certain. What if he came out of seclusion and found that the Great Emperor's tomb did not exist? Wouldn't Emperor Huangshan have made a wasted trip and wasted time breaking through to the Great Emperor because of a non-existent Great Emperor's tomb?

What Wu Peng didn't know was that the reason why the Quasi-Emperor Huangshan emerged from seclusion so easily was mainly because the method for becoming an emperor he had found had some problems, causing him to be unable to continue cultivating.

Otherwise, Wu Peng wouldn't have been able to wake him up so easily. He had originally planned to leave seclusion to resolve his own problems before going into seclusion again.

Unexpectedly, Wu Peng came running over at this time and said that he had discovered the Emperor's tomb. He took this opportunity to leave the pass.

After regaining his senses, Wu Peng quickly said, "That star field was sealed off by a powerful being with a restriction, and it was also erased from the star map. Even if there is no Great Emperor's tomb, there must be treasures there."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Huangshan was slightly taken aback. The entire star field was under a restriction?

The only one capable of doing this is probably the Great Emperor. In that case, it's quite possible that the Great Emperor's tomb actually exists in the star field that Wu Peng mentioned.

If there were no treasures or even the tombs of emperors, those emperor-level powerhouses would have no reason to set up restrictions to seal off the entire star field, much less be so bored as to erase that star field from the star map.

Throughout history, most of the imperial tombs discovered by people have come from restricted or sealed star regions, or from places that have been erased from star maps.

Since the place Wu Peng mentioned not only has restrictions but has also been erased from the map, it proves that if there really is an emperor's tomb in that place, then the emperor buried in that star field must not be an ordinary emperor.

Thinking of this, Emperor Huangshan revealed a barely perceptible smile. He hadn't expected his luck to be so good. He had thought that he had no hope of breaking through to the Great Emperor within five thousand years, but he didn't expect that an opportunity would come knocking on his door so soon.

If I could obtain the spiritual medicine or treasures from the Great Emperor's tomb, especially the opportunity to become an emperor, then I might be able to become an emperor in less than five thousand years.

With the opportunity within the Great Emperor's tomb, the previous method for becoming an emperor no longer needs to be used.

Although the method to become an emperor could also help him become an emperor, the price to pay was too high. He had to burn his own life essence and blood. Most importantly, he was not sure if he could hold on until he became an emperor.

Originally, Emperor Huangshan was a handsome young man, but because he cultivated the method to become an emperor, he has now become a decrepit old man. Although in the world of cultivators, strength is the most important thing and appearance is not particularly important to the strong, Emperor Huangshan still cares about his appearance.

If he could, he wouldn't want to use this method to become an emperor, but the allure of becoming an emperor was simply too great, especially since there was a chance to become an emperor within five thousand years. Faced with such temptation, what quasi-emperor wouldn't want to give it a try?

However, after trying it out, Emperor Huangshan suddenly became less eager to become Emperor Cheng. The process of burning his life essence was too painful, and he couldn't even enter a meditative state. This is why he was already awake when Wupeng came to wake him up.

Emperor Huangshan then said, "If your information is true and you have indeed discovered the existence of the Great Emperor's tomb, I will reward you handsomely. But if you make me go through all this trouble for nothing, you should know what will happen to you."

Wu Peng quickly replied, "I understand, I understand."

Emperor Huangshan then said, "Alright, get up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Huangshan waved his hand, and the two of them instantly arrived in the main hall of the Imperial Dragon Sect. The black dragons in the main hall of the Imperial Dragon Sect were so frightened when they saw the Emperor that they lay down on the ground and dared not move.

At this moment, Quasi-Emperor Huangshan spoke up, asking, "How is the Heavenly Fire Clan doing lately?"

Wu Peng replied, "The Tianhuo Clan has already sent people. They said they want to pledge allegiance to you and become your subordinate force."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Huangshan chuckled and then said, "I really thought they would oppose me for the sake of that so-called Heavenly Emperor. It seems their faith is nothing special."

The emperor, soon-to-be emperor, continued, "By the way, has Mu Qinglan made any moves?"

Emperor Huangshan had long coveted Mu Qinglan and wanted to make her his woman, but he had delayed it because he was focused on breaking through to become an emperor.

His initial plan was to become emperor first, and then marry Mu Qinglan, so that Mu Qinglan would have no way to refuse him.

Emperor Huangshan also knew that the Tianhuo clan was quite special. If Mu Qinglan unleashed her full strength, she would be able to fight him. Therefore, before becoming an emperor, Emperor Huangshan could not say for sure that he could defeat Mu Qinglan.

But things will be different after he becomes an emperor. The difference between a Great Emperor and a Quasi-Emperor is like the difference between a star field and a grain of sand. Once he becomes an emperor, with his strength as a Great Emperor, Mu Qinglan will not be able to escape his grasp, no matter how unwilling she is.

Wu Peng replied, "According to the information I have gathered, she has been in seclusion in the royal mausoleum of the Tianhuo clan and has hardly ever come out."

At this point, Wu Peng suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember now, she did come out once. It is said that two elders of the Heavenly Fire Royal Family did not recognize her and offended her, which made her kill the two elders of the Royal Family in a fit of anger. After that, many elders of the Heavenly Fire Royal Family left the Heavenly Fire World."

"Not long after, the Fire Emperor sent people to the Dragon Control Sect to express their loyalty to their senior." (End of Chapter)
