Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Chapter 1637

There was a hint of longing in his eyes!

What currently blocks the entire other side is the illusory image of the Heavenly Emperor and the imprints of the various ancestral gods.

Among them, the Heavenly Emperor's phantom is the most prominent, so the Heavenly Emperor's prestige is extremely high. Now that the world is in chaos and the various secret realms are barely surviving, the powerful Heavenly Emperor has become the spiritual totem of the various secret realms.

As her successor, Shangguan Xiaoxiao naturally possesses extremely high value!

"Disciple understands."

Zhu Heng nodded, hesitated slightly, and then said, "By the way, Master, I found Miss Shangguan at Tianshi Peak. She was eating and drinking with Gu Shouzhou and a young man at the time..."

"Gu Shouzhou? Just a useless piece of trash..."

Luo Changsheng shook his head and asked again, "Who is that young man, and what is his background?"

Zhu Heng shook his head, not knowing.

Luo Changsheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Go and investigate this matter thoroughly."

Zhu Heng nodded and left immediately.

……

After Shangguan Xiaoxiao left.

Soon after, another powerful mountain peak, Taiye Peak, sent its trusted disciple, Ren Chaofeng, to escort her there.

"As long as Miss Shangguan joins my peak, I can designate her as the successor to the peak master, holding a position equal to the peak master!"

The conditions offered by Ren Chaofeng were even more astonishing.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao became increasingly aware of the problem. After pondering for a long time, she also said she needed to think about it and then left.

After leaving Taiye Peak, she went to the last mountain peak—Shengxian Peak.

"Do you know why fellow Daoists Ren Chaofeng and Luo Changsheng are so solemn?"

The peak master of Sage Peak is in seclusion year-round. The one who received Shangguan Xiaoxiao was Qi Wangtian, the expert who had previously gone to the Yuan Chu Clan to guide Li Lan!

He is from Sage Peak and has been acting on behalf of the Peak Master for many years.

"The Jin Yun Mountain Secret Realm has been established for many years, but it has always been very loosely organized. Each of the 108 main peaks has its own peak master. They seem to give some face to our three main peaks and take the three main peaks as the leaders, but in the end, they may not be convinced."

Qi Wangtian sighed softly and said, "But given the state of the world and the covetous eyes of the outside world, if Jinyun Mountain does not unite its forces and becomes leaderless, how can it resist?"

"Therefore, the Holy Lord's proposal came about."

"After this grand competition, the peak masters will also need to compete to truly select a Holy Lord to lead the entire Golden Cloud Mountain."

"To become a Holy Lord, one must certainly have outstanding cultivation, but reputation is also indispensable."

Qi Wangtian said, "Now, in the secret realm, no one is convinced of anyone else's authority, so there is no prestige to speak of. The only thing is that everyone is grateful for the Heavenly Emperor's grace. Therefore, Miss Shangguan represents the Heavenly Emperor. As long as you can join, it will be a great cause."

"It's not impossible that in the future, he could even command places like Moke Cave and Wuliang Mountain."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao nodded, finally understanding.

She is now... a rare commodity.

"Mr. Qi, would you please not invite me to join Sage Peak?"

She couldn't help but smile.

Qi Wangtian once followed the path of the Heavenly Emperor and eventually succeeded in attaining enlightenment. Therefore, he was the only one who knew Li Lan's identity.

"Sage Peak will not participate in the competition for the Holy Lord."

Jiang Qiwangtian spoke up, saying solemnly, "The Peak Master is in seclusion and will not come out. I, Qi, will stay here to guard this place."

"Therefore, I, Feng, will not compete for your decision to stay or leave. However, whichever mountain you choose, I will follow you."

Abstain!

Shangguan Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Xiaoxiao understands."

She got up and left, and soon after, she returned to Tianshi Peak.

After listening to her story, Li Lan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"In my opinion, the most appropriate course of action is to not join any peak."

"As the successor of the Heavenly Emperor, you should remain detached from worldly affairs. Only by not joining any faction can you maintain the prestige of the Heavenly Emperor."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao's joining any mountain peak can bring them tremendous prestige.

But this kind of blessing... is often a one-time exchange.

For example, if she goes to Taiye Peak, Taiye Peak will become extremely popular in a short period of time, and Director Chao Feng of Taiye Peak will also receive attention from all over the world.

However, this inadvertently bound the Heavenly Emperor and Taiye Peak together.

Taiye Peak is by no means a place of impartiality and selflessness; it is also full of petty scheming and despicable behavior. If one day Taiye Peak were to fall into moral failings and even turn against the people of the world, it would destroy the reputation of the Heavenly Emperor.

On the contrary, only by not participating in these conflicts of interest can one become a standard-bearer.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xiaoxiao nodded and smiled, saying, "I understand."

"Senior Gu, Xiaoxiao also wants to join your Tian Shi Peak. I wonder if you would be willing to take me as your disciple?"

She stood up and looked at Gu Shouzhou, who was sleeping on the boulder on the other side.

Since receiving those few words of guidance from Li Lan that day, he has gained some understanding and has not completely merged into the cycle of reincarnation during this period, maintaining his clarity.

"With the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor's successor at Tianshi Peak, Tianshi Peak is likely to become a place of trouble."

Gu Shouzhou smiled slightly, "Very well, whatever you say."

He was very easygoing and did not refuse: "However, I also have a request. Between you and me, we can maintain the empty title of master and disciple to outsiders, but in private, we can be like my friend Li Shi and I, and treat each other as peers."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled.

……

Soon after, the news that Shangguan Xiaoxiao had joined Tianshi Peak spread, instantly causing a sensation throughout Jinyun Mountain!
