Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

What's even more astonishing is that the Reincarnation Emperor actually transformed every barren mountain on the island into an array. An array set up with a huge mountain as its main body is something no fool would want to provoke.

While marveling at his own good fortune by holding the Reincarnation Seal, he led Li Qingmo step by step into it.

There is an anti-flying formation on the island, and once you enter it, you cannot fly. The huge barren mountains crisscross to form winding mountain ranges, and you can't see the end of these mountain ranges at a glance.

Most people would hesitate at the sight of such a scene, but Su Liang and Li Qingmo were enjoying themselves as if they were on a spring outing, hiking and playing in the mountains. Of course, it would have been even better if these mountains were even greener and clearer.

In the mountains, Su Liang and Li Qingmo were like a pair of celestial lovers, their fingers intertwined as they moved lightly along the desolate mountain path.

Glancing at the handsome, elegant Su Liang beside her, Li Qingmo's beautiful eyes curved into crescents with delight.

Looking at Li Qingmo, who was happily chatting away by himself, Su Liang was a little confused.

"Alright, you two, stop walking. Honestly, it feels like you're bullying this lonely old man. You're exchanging glances all over me. Are all young people these days so shameless? Just imagine, Qingqing and I have been spiritually connected for thousands of years. Back then, we were a recognized divine couple in the cultivation world."

Chapter 971 The Emperor's Coffin

The kind, aged voice echoed through the mountains.

Su Liang's expression changed, and he looked around solemnly. In his divine sense, he did not find any unusual phenomena around him. But at this time, the absence of any unusual phenomena was the biggest unusual phenomenon. He reached out and pulled Li Qingmo to his side.

Su Liang clasped his hands in greeting, "May I ask which senior is daring to harass us juniors like this?"

"Senior? I'm that old? Wait, I think I'm long dead, right?"

The aged voice rang out again, but these words left Su Liang both amused and exasperated, and the sense of mystery and master he had felt vanished completely.

"Please come out and meet me, senior!" Su Liang's hearty and powerful voice echoed.

"Honestly, young people these days are so impatient. Impatience will lead to big problems!"

This time, the aged voice carried a sense of helplessness.

Suddenly, an old man with a long beard and white eyebrows appeared out of thin air in front of Su Liang, startling him. Su Liang secretly exerted force with his feet, ready to get away at any time. Li Qingmo, who was standing to the side, drew his elegant sword and pointed it directly at the old man.

Seeing the two men's serious and prepared demeanor, the old man smiled wryly, stroked his long beard, and said helplessly:

"I have no ill intentions towards you, so why treat an old man like this?"

Su Liang said, "I have never seen any old man appear in front of me so mysteriously."

The old man laughed heartily: "Haha, didn't you see me today? You came to my grave but don't know who I am?"

Su Liang narrowed his eyes, showing no surprise whatsoever. From the moment the old man spoke, he had already guessed who it was.

After much thought, it seems that only beings related to the Reincarnation Emperor could appear on the island.

Su Liang scrutinized the old man who claimed to be the Emperor of Reincarnation. In his divine sense, the old man himself was nothing special, and he couldn't even sense a trace of spiritual energy. He just stood in front of them like an ordinary old man, and the solidity of his body was so great and dense that it was somewhat suspicious.

While pondering and analyzing in his mind, Su Liang asked, "Then may I ask, since you, the Great Emperor of Reincarnation, have not perished, why do you live in seclusion here?"

The Reincarnation Emperor smiled and said, "Junior, you don't need to test me. As someone who holds the Reincarnation Seal, do you think you don't know the truth about my identity?"

Su Liang's expression

Without changing his expression, he secretly increased his strength and suppressed the Reincarnation Seal, which had been struggling since the old man appeared.

The Samsara Emperor said, “Junior, I know your doubts. There’s no need to question or test me. You just scanned me with your divine sense, didn’t you? My true body is indeed dead. What remains here is just a remnant of my divine sense. This body only looks old because of the passage of time.”

Su Liang suddenly realized that using his divine sense to perceive divine sense would naturally reveal its immense size. This time, Su Liang put aside his doubts and respectfully clasped his hands, saying, "Greetings, Senior Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation."

This time, Su Liang was completely convinced. He was not a lawless person, and he still felt respect for these seniors.

"Your bow is indeed sincere, but why don't you bow to me before the stone statue?"

The Reincarnation Emperor could sense the respect in Su Liang's heart, and stroked his beard, asking in bewilderment.

Su Liang said solemnly:

“It’s not that I don’t want to worship, but what you’re asking me to kneel is simply unacceptable. In my heart, not everything deserves worship. Otherwise, how can we cultivators contend with heaven and earth if we keep kneeling like that? Aren’t we cultivators supposed to contend with heaven and fight against the earth?”

Su Liang spoke these words with righteous indignation and unyielding pride, his clear voice echoing endlessly among the mountains.

"This Su Liang does have a bit of pride," Li Qingmo thought with a cool, ethereal voice.

Li Qingmo looked at Su Liang's imposing figure with eyes full of admiration.

After hearing this, the Reincarnation Emperor paused, his hand supporting the long white beard. A strange look flashed in his eyes, then disappeared, and he burst into hearty laughter:

"You're quite remarkable, junior. At this age, in terms of character and temperament, you're truly unique in all of history. To contend with Heaven? To fight against Earth? Those are truly well said! Now, junior, may I ask your name?"

It was obvious that the Samsara Emperor was very satisfied with Su Liang, not only changing his address from "junior" to "younger brother" with affection.

They even took the initiative to ask for his name. The Samsara Emperor, an ancient emperor, had seen countless monsters, but how many of them could he have actively remembered?

"Junior Su Liang."

Su Liang remained impartial and composed, showing neither excitement at being appreciated by the Reincarnation Emperor nor timidity in the face of this ancient emperor.

The Emperor of Reincarnation looked at Su Liang, whose white robes fluttered in the wind, and became more and more satisfied. He asked:

"Su Liang, are you willing to accept my inheritance! Inherit my Samsara Divine Power! Become the next Samsara Emperor!"

If Wang Tian and his group heard this question, they would probably rush to agree. After all, the inheritance of an ancient emperor can allow one to take shortcuts on the path to becoming an emperor, let alone the Samsara Ancient Emperor, who is renowned among the great emperors.

However, Su Liang did not agree immediately; instead, he frowned.

"I, Su Liang, cannot accept this. You have personally created the Path of Reincarnation. Within the vast expanse, if you claim to be second, who dares to claim to be first? I do not wish to compete with you. I am willing to create my own Path of Reincarnation!"

Su Liang wasn't stupid. He knew that openly refusing a Great Emperor would probably anger him. Although he had fallen many years ago, no one dared to gamble on the extent of a Great Emperor's power. So he offered a few flattering words, neither too much nor too little.

Of course, even if he really angered the Samsara Emperor and made him attack him, he should not forget that there is still a ball of immortal energy in his body. With the help of this ball of immortal energy, even if he can't win, Su Liang will have a way to take Li Qingmo away.

Fortunately, thanks to Su Liang's clever flattery, the Reincarnation Emperor actually fell for it, and his face lit up with joy at a visible speed. He laughed and said:

"Good! Junior, you are quite good. Don't worry, even if you accept my inheritance, you will not be forced to become a candidate for the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation. Come with me to the true place of inheritance."

After saying that, he swayed and arrived several thousand meters away. He waved to Su Liang behind him, and Su Liang and Li Qingmo followed. After turning left and right, the three of them soon arrived at a grand hall.

The main hall stands atop a mountain range formed by three connected peaks, magnificent and grand, with a rich aura of reincarnation emanating from its surface.

Upon entering the spacious main hall, a huge coffin caught Su Liang's eye.

The coffin was pitch black, and a dense, tangible aura of reincarnation permeated its surroundings. It was bound by several chains and floated in the hall. The aura of reincarnation on the coffin was absorbed by the chains into the huge stone pillars that were being bound in the hall. The aura of reincarnation then flowed down the stone pillars and spread to all parts of the island.

Chapter 972 Ancient Emperor's Blood Transfusion

Overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of shock, Su Liang and Li Qingmo were both stunned. They both realized that the coffin was the core of the island, and the entire island had been able to operate for several eras by relying on the coffin to transport the energy of reincarnation.

As for who was providing the energy of reincarnation inside the coffin, Su Liang knew the answer in his heart.

But it's hard to believe that the body of an emperor who has been dead for so long could really provide such a huge demand for reincarnation energy.

The remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor chuckled smugly, "What's imprisoned inside is my body after death. I think you've all guessed it; the truth is exactly what you think."

Upon reaching the coffin, the remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor tapped the chains. The chains trembled, and with a sudden shift of the stars, the coffin was positioned facing Su Liang and his companion.

The Reincarnation Emperor touched the coffin, his face filled with nostalgia, "I never imagined that so many years would have passed in the blink of an eye."

Before the remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor could make any move, the coffin opened slowly and automatically with a 'click' as soon as he finished speaking.

Su Liang and Li Qingmo held their breath as the coffin was opened, and what they saw was not what they had imagined.

Instead of a withered corpse, it was a middle-aged, serious man.

He was dressed in a black and gold imperial robe, with a handsome face. Even though he had fallen several eras ago, he still brought a strong sense of oppression to Su Liang. In his eyes, it was as if the terrifying scene of that person shattering the world with a single palm and causing all things to wither with a single thought was reproduced. Su Liang silently stood in front of Li Qingmo.

But Li Qingmo grabbed his hand and stepped forward to stand beside him, blocking the oppressive force emanating from the ancient emperor's corpse.

The remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor looked at Su Liang and the other two in this state beneath his corpse, his gaze appreciative, and laughed:

"Not bad, not bad. It's a bit of a pity that so much time has passed and the amount of reincarnation energy contained in this body is almost gone."

Seeing the regretful expression on the remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor's face, Su Liang compared the two.

It's hard to imagine that this remnant soul is really the dignified middle-aged man in the coffin.

Has the remnant soul's personality changed over the years?

Otherwise, if a renowned ancient emperor were truly like this, many people would probably feel disappointed.

"Su Liang, it's good that you're willing to accept my legacy."

Even after so many years, the conditions required to receive the essence of my Reincarnation Technique are still incredibly demanding.

It contains the profound mysteries of all my reincarnations throughout my life; its immense scale is beyond your current comprehension.

The remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor continued solemnly:

"But before my death, the 'I' in my previous life had considered this and found a solution. At the last moment, the 'I' contained all my supernatural power and stored it in my blood."

In other words, to obtain the Reincarnation Technique, one can only comprehend it after absorbing my blood.

Hearing this, Su Liang roughly understood. While marveling at the Samsara Emperor's formidable strength, which allowed him to absorb all his techniques into his blood, he also felt a growing sense of vigilance.

The importance of blood to a cultivator is self-evident. It may seem that one's physical constitution does not require blood, and the use of spiritual energy does not require blood either. However, if one's body lacks a large amount of blood, one will become weak. In the cultivation world, there are countless evil spells that use blood to perform.

Seemingly to allay Su Liang's suspicions, the remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor laughed:

"Of course, my blood also contains the energy of reincarnation, which can better help you comprehend the supernatural power of reincarnation. After the inheritance is completed, you can choose to expel the blood, and that will be fine."

In Li Qingmo's mind, a clear, cold, ethereal voice suddenly spoke:

"No! Once one's cultivation reaches the Emperor Realm, the blood flowing through one's body has long since developed its own consciousness. It's not something that can be summoned and dismissed at will. He's lying."

Li Qingmo relayed the words spoken by the immortal voice in her mind to Su Liang. Under Li Qingmo's worried gaze, Su Liang gave her a reassuring gesture.

Su Liang's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he quickly pondered the meaning behind the remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor's actions. After much speculation, two words came to Su Liang's mind: Seize! Possession!

Su Liang narrowed his eyes. Judging from the current situation, the blood of the ancient emperor contained a huge amount of life force, and there was also a remnant soul of an ancient emperor nearby. No matter how you look at it, the timing, location, and people all seemed to be in the position of possession.

The remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor continued to speak earnestly, as if he were truly an elder instructing Su Liang on what to pay attention to during the blood exchange process.

Su Liang smiled and said, "Senior, I'm ready. Come on."

The remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor was taken aback, and stroked his long beard, saying, "Are you really ready?"

"Hmm." Su Liang nodded, sneering inwardly. He doubted that even the Great Emperor of Reincarnation, with all his calculations, would have anticipated that he, an anomaly, would be the first. Blood transfusion? When it came to matters of the body, he was second to none throughout history. Su Liang was confident that his ancient divine emperor body would not disappoint him.

"Then sit cross-legged here, close your eyes, and leave everything to me."

The Reincarnation Emperor stomped his foot on the main hall, and a small blue boulder rose from the floor of the hall.

Su Liang sat cross-legged on the rock, closed his eyes, opened his divine sense, and secretly activated his Divine Emperor Body to cover up the golden light, while vigilantly sensing the remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor in front of him.

With a flick of his finger, the remnant soul of the Reincarnation Emperor caused the Reincarnation Emperor's corpse, which was harder than a supreme magical artifact, to break open in the coffin behind him. The gushing crimson blood, filled with the energy of reincarnation, turned into a spring and flowed towards Su Liang.

As soon as the blood approached Su Liang's body, it merged into it. With his eyes closed, Su Liang could feel the authentic energy of reincarnation filling his body. Under the suppression of this energy, even the vast ocean of spiritual energy retreated, leaving only a golden radiance shining directly towards him.
