The charming widow of the Marquis's mansion: The stable boy carries the flag and raises the dra

Xu Wanyun opened her mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

Looking at Wang Long's nonchalant demeanor, she bit her lip and said nothing more.

Xu Wanyun could distrust the Azure Emperor, but she could not doubt Wang Long. She sat silently to the side, choosing to remain silent.

She also respected the heroes of the human race, but she was so nervous because she was too worried about Wang Long.

The Azure Emperor looked at Wang Long with admiration in his eyes.

"Transparent".

"I have lived for tens of thousands of years and have seen countless people."

"Some are afraid of me, some respect me, some beg me, and some want to kill me."

"But you're the first one like this!"

He picked up his wine glass and raised it to Wang Long.

"Little fellow, I also salute you."

Wang Long picked up his wine glass and gently clinked it against his.

"You're too kind, senior. I respectfully greet you."

The two drank it all in one gulp, then looked at each other and smiled.

It felt like meeting an old friend after many years, a feeling of heroes respecting heroes.

Xu Wanyun was completely dumbfounded when she saw this scene.

Qing Emperor.

The Great Emperor of the Human Race.

An existence standing at the very top of this world!

He actually took the initiative to toast Wang Long.

Am I hallucinating?

Moreover, the two chatted happily, and the atmosphere was as harmonious as if they were catching up.

They were almost about to become sworn brothers.

Xu Wanyun took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and looked at Wang Long with admiration in her beautiful eyes.

As expected of Uncle Long.

No matter where you are or who you are facing, you can handle things with ease.

This is a human emperor! Not to mention a grandmaster, even a supreme being wouldn't dare to act like this.

The Green Emperor put down his wine cup, picked up his chopsticks, took a peanut, put it in his mouth, and chewed it twice.

He looked at Wang Long and asked with a smile.

"Little guy, which faction are you from?"

"I sense a scholarly aura emanating from you; are you a Confucian cultivator?"

"To cultivate both Confucianism and martial arts to this extent is quite impressive."

Wang Long put down his chopsticks and answered truthfully.

"I come from the Great Qian Dynasty and am currently an honorary instructor at Wenxin Academy."

"I've only been involved with Confucianism and Taoism for a few months; I'm still a novice."

Upon hearing this, the Green Emperor paused for a moment, his hand holding the food in his chopsticks.

The Great Qian Dynasty? Wenxin Academy?

I've never heard of them; they're probably some unknown small force.

He looked up at Wang Long, his eyes filled with shock.

"Several months?!"

"You mean, you've only been studying Confucianism and Taoism for a few months, yet you've already reached this level of cultivation?"

Wang Long smiled and nodded.

"I was lucky and had some opportunities."

The Azure Emperor fell silent.

He put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and gazed at the bamboo forest in the distance, remaining silent for a moment.

"A stroke of luck..."

He muttered to himself, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

"When I cultivated Confucianism and Taoism, it took me three whole years to reach the first grade, and it took me thirty years to reach your current level."

"My master also said that I am a genius."

"If he knew that someone had covered in a few months what took me thirty years to achieve..."

The Azure Emperor shook his head and said no more.

He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"The younger generation is truly formidable!"

Wang Long looked at him and comforted him.

"You flatter me, senior. I am merely standing on the shoulders of giants."

"If it weren't for the heroic sacrifices of our predecessors, who paved the way for a peaceful world for future generations, how could we, as juniors, have the opportunity to cultivate in peace?"

The Green Emperor was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"What a wonderful example of standing on the shoulders of giants!"

"Your mouth is more powerful than your cultivation level!"

As he smiled, he seemed lost in thought, his gaze becoming deep and distant.

It's as if they've made an extremely important decision!

"I have a question for you."

"What is your purpose in cultivating?"

Wang Long put down his chopsticks, looked at the Azure Emperor, and thought about it seriously.

There's no need to lie to the Emperor!

"I began cultivating to survive."

"Later, it was to protect the people around me."

"And then..."

He paused, his gaze hardening.

"It's so that all those enemies who want to harm those around me will die."

"What happens next?"

The Azure Emperor pressed for an answer.

Wang Long picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"I haven't thought about what to do next. I'm just a minor Grandmaster right now, so it would be a bit unrealistic for me to say that I should take on the responsibility of saving the world."

He then took another bite of food.

"Let's get stronger step by step, so that one day I can stand in the same position as my senior."

"Naturally, it is to fight for humanity and to completely annihilate all other races."

"To create an everlasting peace for future generations!"

The Azure Emperor fell silent.

He looked at Wang Long with a complicated expression.

There was appreciation, there was emotion, and there was also a hint of...gratification that was hard to explain.

"Good! You're right!"

The Green Emperor raised his wine cup, and the Dragon King raised his cup as well.

"Let me offer you another toast!"

"For no other reason than what you just said!"

Wang Long picked up his wine glass and clinked it against his.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Wanyun stood aside, watching this scene, her eyes slightly reddening.

This is the man she has her eye on.

They are responsible, courageous, and compassionate.

Whether facing the pursuit of twelve Grandmaster-level magical beasts or the challenge of an Emperor-level expert, he remained calm and composed.

Be neither arrogant nor humble, neither proud nor impatient.

The Azure Emperor put down his wine cup, looked at Wang Long, and had a faint smile on his lips.

"My time is running out."

"This remnant soul cannot hold on for long."

"Before I vanish, I would like to give you something."

Wang Long was stunned for a moment, looking at the Azure Emperor.

There was neither excitement nor rejection.

The things given by an Emperor-level expert must carry a huge responsibility!

"Senior, what are the conditions?"

The Green Emperor laughed heartily.

"When talking to smart people, you don't need to beat around the bush."

The Azure Emperor stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and spoke in a deep and resonant voice.

"I have only one condition."

"But you already agreed."

Upon hearing this, Wang Long instantly understood.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.

He was more than willing to take the challenge!

Wang Long took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to the Azure Emperor.

"If that day ever comes, I will certainly do my utmost to fight for humanity!"

The Azure Emperor looked at him, nodded, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

"Okay, okay, okay."

He happily raised his hand and waved it gently.

A white light surged from his palm, condensing into a fist-sized ball of light in the air, which hovered in front of Wang Long.

The surface of the light sphere is covered with fine lines, radiating a warm and pure energy.

Wang Long could sense that the ball of light contained an immense, suffocating power.

That power was thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger than the combined inner cores of those twelve Grandmaster-level magical beasts.

"This is a seed that I have condensed from my life's cultivation."

The Azure Emperor's voice was soft, tinged with weariness.

"I won't give you power directly; that would harm you."

"A foundation that is not solid will not last long."

"This seed will take root and sprout inside you, growing as you grow."

"It will provide you with a continuous source of strength when you need it."

"When you encounter a bottleneck, it will help you break through the constraints."

"If one day you can step into the Emperor Realm, this seed will fully blossom and bear fruit."

"At that time, you will be able to inherit all of my mantle."

Wang Long's feelings were complicated as he looked at the ball of light.

The Emperor's life's work—this is a simple inheritance.

It's about passing on power!
