Chapter 1524 - 1269: A Frightened Bird (2)
The current Monarch of the Country Gulai, formerly the Seventh Imperial Uncle, had once diligently instructed them.As soon as Duan Gujin appears here, they must swiftly report the news to the Monarch.
So, they immediately conveyed this information to the Seventh Imperial Uncle inside the Imperial Palace.
Upon hearing that Duan Gujin was outside, the Seventh Imperial Uncle rushed out to see Duan Gujin.
"Duan Gujin, it's truly delightful to see you again!"
The Seventh Imperial Uncle said with an excited expression.
Duan Gujin immediately cupped his hands, knowing that the Seventh Imperial Uncle before him was now the Monarch of the Country Gulai, and he had to treat the Seventh Imperial Uncle according to the country's etiquette.
"Monarch, I have urgent matters to report, please have your men step aside!"
After hearing Duan Gujin's words, the Seventh Imperial Uncle quickly waved his hand, ordering his men to leave.
Duan Gujin immediately said, "Monarch, I assume you're now aware of the affairs of the Divine World. Are there any experts here on the Qiankun Continent who passed the Divine World selection?"
"I'm sorry to inform you that there are no experts from the Qiankun Continent who passed the selection of the Divine World!"
The Seventh Imperial Uncle replied.
"Monarch, I'll keep it brief. I am now part of the Divine World, so please tell me what happened on the Qiankun Continent after I left. Has anything unusual occurred?"
Duan Gujin said directly.
"I see! After you left, the biggest event on the Qiankun Continent was the arrival of Divine World martial artists. They told us that the Divine World is conducting a selection of Martial Saints from thirty thousand small planes. If any small plane passes through their selection, it will receive a certain level of advancement! Unfortunately, our Qiankun Continent lacks talents. Duan Gujin, did you represent the Qiankun Continent in the selection?"
The Seventh Imperial Uncle asked curiously.
"No, Monarch, I represented another continent! Now, there is a major crisis in the Divine World, so this selection might be canceled!"
Duan Gujin replied.
"Oh, I see, then what major event occurred in the Divine World?"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and after contemplating for a moment, he felt it necessary to inform the Seventh Imperial Uncle about the current situation in the Divine World.
If the Divine World is overrun by Exotic Realm Creatures, then the thirty thousand small planes and their living creatures are next.
Therefore, he shared with the Seventh Imperial Uncle all that he knew and could reveal.
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Imperial Uncle gasped, shocked at the peril that the Divine World was facing.
"Oh heavens! What are those Exotic Realm Creatures, and why are they so terrifying?"
The Seventh Imperial Uncle exclaimed.
"I don't know what those Exotic Realm Creatures truly are, but they are extremely dangerous!"
Duan Gujin replied.
"So you mean to say, if the Divine World falls to those Exotic Realm Creatures, the thirty thousand small planes and the Immortal Domain will be their next targets, correct?"
The Seventh Imperial Uncle inquired.
"Yes!"
Duan Gujin nodded in confirmation.
"Then where can the martial artists from our thirty thousand small planes flee to? Will the Immortal Domain just watch while those Exotic Realm Creatures annihilate us?"
Listening to Duan Gujin's words, the Seventh Imperial Uncle couldn't help but worry.
Only now did he realize the Divine World's situation was so critical, whereas before, he simply viewed the Divine World's selection as an act of goodwill.
At this moment, he finally understood that the Divine World was merely seeking more advanced martial artists to join their ranks or enter the Black Hole World to confront those Exotic Realm Creatures.
"You shouldn't be too worried about this for now. The Immortal Domain Immortals have joined forces with the Divine World for the time being, so the Divine World won't be overrun yet, rest assured!"
Duan Gujin quickly reassured the Seventh Imperial Uncle, observing the tension clearly visible on his face.
"Monarch, there's no need to be so tense!"
Duan Gujin promptly comforted him.
"That's because you don't understand. Now that I've become the Monarch of the Country Gulai, I don't want to live the stressful, exhausting life I led before! My life is stable now!"
The Seventh Imperial Uncle quickly responded.
Hearing the Seventh Imperial Uncle's answer, Duan Gujin immediately realized that the Seventh Imperial Uncle had grown accustomed to a peaceful life and was reluctant to return to a life of upheaval and anxiety.
He understood why the Seventh Imperial Uncle felt this way.
Previously, the Seventh Imperial Uncle was always in a state of unease due to conflicts with other princes. Now, as he had settled into the role of Monarch, he had become complacent with a stable life.
Now, however, hearing about the formidable, terrifying Exotic Realm Creatures outside naturally led to his fear.
Duan Gujin hurriedly reassured him, "Seventh Imperial Uncle, don't worry, I've returned here to check things out, and I'll make some arrangements to prevent those Exotic Realm Creatures from attacking!"
"That's great, that's great! Brother, can you make us more Elixir Pills and Dark Weapons?"
The Seventh Imperial Uncle requested.
"No problem, I have some time. Please, Monarch, gather some Refining Materials and Spiritual Medicine for me; prepare everything, and I'll refine some life-saving Dark Weapons and Elixir Pills for you!"
From the expression on the Seventh Imperial Uncle's face, Duan Gujin could tell the depth of his fear, with sweat beading like soybeans on his forehead.
He couldn't help but reflect on how the once spirited Seventh Imperial Uncle had become like a frightened bird upon encountering adversity.
This transformation was the result of a too-comfortable life in the Imperial Palace, which had dulled his fighting spirit.
Immediately, the Seventh Imperial Uncle ordered his experts to gather various Spiritual Medicine and rare Refining Materials in the capital city.
After two days of busy work, Duan Gujin forged a large quantity of Elixir Pills and Dark Weapons for the Seventh Imperial Uncle.
The experts within the Imperial Palace lit up when they saw the Elixir Pills and Dark Weapons.
Duan Gujin had crafted the highest grade Elixir Pills and Dark Weapons available on the Qiankun Continent for them, producing at least a thousand Dark Weapons and over ten thousand Elixir Pills.
They became extremely excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
Their awareness that these Elixir Pills and Dark Weapons would soon be theirs elevated their spirits.
The Seventh Imperial Uncle advised them to focus on their cultivation, offering Elixir Pills and Dark Weapons as rewards for advancement.
Originally, he intended for Duan Gujin to make even more Elixir Pills and Dark Weapons, but Duan Gujin declined.
Duan Gujin hastily explained, "Seventh Imperial Uncle, these Elixir Pills and Dark Weapons are only meant to save your life! If those Exotic Realm Creatures invade on a large scale, not even Divine Artifacts or Immortal Treasures might repel them! Rest assured, they won't invade here anytime soon, but if they do, I'll find a solution for you! After all, I have family here, and I deeply care about their safety!"
The Seventh Imperial Uncle's eyes flickered, and he immediately asked, "Brother, can't you take me to the Divine World?"
Duan Gujin gave a helpless smile and said, "Monarch, the Divine World is extremely dangerous right now. If you encounter those Exotic Realm Creatures there, you will be eliminated instantly!"
"Right! Right!"
The Seventh Imperial Uncle, upon reflection, realized that Duan Gujin couldn't possibly take him to the Immortal Domain.
"Monarch, for now, you should eat and drink as usual; don't worry too much about this issue! Believe the Immortal Domain Immortals will aid the Divine World, and if those Exotic Realm Creatures truly invade the Divine World, the Immortal Domain will be next! They cherish life as well!"
Duan Gujin earnestly told the Seventh Imperial Uncle.
"Alright! I understand!"
Only then did the Seventh Imperial Uncle find some peace of mind, turning over thoughts in his head, eventually deciding to live alongside Duan Gujin's family.
