Chapter 54 - The Ceremony of the Hidden Edge Sect

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hidden Edge Sect, main sect square.

He pretended to be serious, but he could not hide his excitement. Sect Leader Ding stood quietly on the highest platform in front of the main hall.

Around him were the other seven chief seats, as well as Li Shiyi.

The other chiefs could not hide their excitement either.

After all, an Emperor had appeared in the Hidden Edge Sect!

Li Shiyi was very calm.

He knew that Ye Changge’s wish was to become a saint, and an Emperor wasn’t his master’s limit.

As a human, and if he were to develop normally, he would, at most, reach the Emperor Realm.

Becoming Ye Changge’s apprentice was not his limit either.

Many people at the square were sent by various factions to contact the Hidden Edge Sect.

Many of them were from the sacred land factions of the central region.

On one hand, it was inevitable that they would come into contact with the Hidden Edge Sect.

On the other hand, they needed to test Ye Changge’s attitude toward them.

After all, Ye Changge had said that no faction without an Emperor was allowed to call themselves a sacred land.

Did this mean that the Hidden Edge Sect wanted to call theirs a sacred land and that they were the only faction who could?

In the dark, many factions had already started to join forces.

There were also disciples from the Hidden Edge Sect’s various branches in the square.

The most eye-catching people in the square were the guest elders standing at the side.

They were all dressed differently, and their appearances and races were all different.

They only had two things in common. One was that each of them had a jade token hanging from their waist, and they were all giving off strange waves of energy.

The other thing was that no matter who it was, and whether they were emitting a majestic or fierce aura, everyone was very powerful.

“This Hidden Edge Sect is really incredible. Their current momentum alone can allow them to be considered as the number one sect in the eastern region. All of the top ten sects in the eastern region have become a thing of the past.”

“Let’s not talk about the eastern region. Who would dare to fight against Hidden Edge Sect now? They have an Emperor. Who else has one?”

“I just don’t know who this Emperor is. It’s strange that such an expert hasn’t become famous.”

“Didn’t you see the name of his sect? Hidden Edge Sect! He’s hiding his greatest trump card. He’s directly bringing out an Emperor.”

“Now that everyone knows he has an Emperor, what’s there to hide?”

“That’s why he’s not hiding anymore. Didn’t you see the ceremony? So many people were invited. Those honored guests all had powerful auras.”

The people below were discussing animatedly, and some were even chatting in a joking manner.

“Who said that this is their greatest trump card? Maybe there’s someone even stronger, like another Great Emperor?”

Although everyone knew that he was joking, the people around them still rolled their eyes.

“Nonsense, such an Emperor only appears after thousands of years. If another Great Emperor appears in the Hidden Edge Sect, I’ll eat this chair.”

If Ye Changge was here, he would definitely remember the appearance of this person who made this oath.

After all, whether it was Li Shiyi Emperor aptitude or Yu Tianxing’s Emperor rebirth, it meant two emperors.

As for cultivation, Ye Changge’s current realm already faintly understood that his path ahead was incomparably open.

Perhaps he would be the strongest amongst all his disciples.

The system was still giving out missions, and there was a genius array waiting to become a new disciple.

There would definitely be more than one Emperor in the Hidden Edge Sect in the future.

“Everyone, the time has come. Today is the Hidden Edge Sect’s ceremony. Please take your seats.”

As the leader of Young Sun Peak, Daoist Qingcang, called out, the noise in the square slowly quieted down.

Sect Master Ding went forward and said a bunch of congratulatory words to celebrate the emergence of the Great Emperor of the Hidden Edge Sect. There was both showing off and rejoicing. Then, they got down to business.

“Today, I’ve invited all of you here mainly for the following things.”

“First of all, because of the emergence of the Great Emperor of the Hidden Edge Sect, I know that many people are curious about the identity of the Great Emperor.”

“But now, the Great Emperor still has something important to do. The specifics are exactly what you all know about the great tribulation of the Heavenly Dao.”

“Furthermore, the Emperor likes to be quiet, so I won’t say much about his identity. However, there’s no doubt that he’s from our Hidden Edge Sect’s reclining peak.”

“That’s also why the Hidden Edge Sect will focus on Reclining Firewood Peak in the future, with the main branch as a support!”

Once these words were said, the disciples of the Hidden Edge Sect were in an uproar.

With the appearance of the Emperor in the Hidden Edge Sect, the sect’s strength would skyrocket, and they would definitely be able to reap huge benefits.

However, no one had announced the identity of the Emperor before this.

Now, they finally knew that the Emperor was from Reclining Firewood Peak. And now, Reclining Firewood Peak had actually become the main branch of the Hidden Edge Sect.

“It’s actually that rare Hidden Edge Sect?”

“Who would have thought that the single-handed Reclining Firewood Peak would become the strongest branch of the Hidden Edge Sect?”

“Don’t tell me that Reclining Firewood Peak has always been filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Everyone is extraordinary. You’re like older brother, Li Shiyi. He’s a figure on the Azure Cloud Hidden Dragon Double List.”

When the other people who had come to attend the ceremony heard this, they asked curiously, “Little brother, are there any other geniuses?”

The disciple who was asked had a red face. “And, and…”

But he was suddenly stuck.

Other than Li Shiyi, there didn’t seem to be any other outstanding figures in the entire Reclining Firewood Peak.

Immortal Bu Yi? He had been wandering outside and had never heard of any powerful deeds.

Ye Changge? As the head disciple, he had an infrequent presence in the sect. If it were not for his good looks, the sect would have forgotten about him.

The other surviving disciples heard that one of them was just a little kid and had not even grown hair yet.

In the end, Ye Changge’s eldest disciple, He Xiuxing, was just an ordinary mortal according to the sect’s information.

Thinking about it carefully, even this disciple started to doubt his own life.

Why was there an Emperor appearing on the ordinary Reclining Firewood Peak?

Everyone looked at him strangely. They did not understand why he was stuck and did not speak.

The disciples beside him knew what he was thinking.

A delicate-looking female disciple of the Hidden Edge Sect took over the topic and said what the male disciple did not say.

After that, her face was full of admiration. “The ancestral teachings of our Hidden Edge Sect are to keep a low profile. Reclining Firewood Peak has such a deep understanding of the ancestral teachings. No wonder they have such achievements!”

The people from the other sects didn’t know what to say when they saw the infatuated look on this disciple’s face.

If keeping a low profile was enough to produce an Emperor, there was no need to wait until now!

After giving everyone time to react, the clamor below slowly calmed down, and Sect Master Ding continued.

“I have received an order from the Emperor of the Hidden Edge Sect. My Hidden Edge Sect disciple is not allowed to call herself sacred while outside!”

This was Ye Changge’s true thoughts. Even saints didn’t have such thoughts. It was embarrassing to go to sacred lands all the time.

Furthermore, it was very dangerous! It could easily destroy a disciple’s mind!

The steady Ye Changge definitely did not want such a problem to occur.

“In addition, our Hidden Edge Sect is developing rapidly and has sufficient resources. We are now opening our doors wide and recruiting disciples!”

Ignoring the strength of those sects, the hearts of many aristocratic families and high-class families palpitated!

The Emperor’s disciples!
