I picked up the scattered attributes

"Just because of a Dao Golden Jade Lotus... they shouldn't fight, right? After all, the Dao Golden Jade Lotus has limited uses, unless there's some special being who absolutely needs to use it to reshape their physical body..."

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say..."

In the Li family's fleet, an unassuming old man shook his head.

He was none other than the old deity of the Li family.

At this moment, faced with the overwhelming imperial might, even he felt a chill run down his spine, and he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance!

"Since the Immortal Emperor unified the world and established the Immortal Dynasty several years ago, the emperors seem to have submitted and learned their lesson. But in reality, just like the alliance of emperors back then, each of them has their own agenda. If you give them a reason, a great war could break out again!"

The old sage muttered to himself, his face filled with worry.

Beside it, a group of senior elders of the Li family, as well as younger generations such as Li Qingmu and Li Jingheng, waited obediently.

"Ancestor."

Finally, Li Jingheng couldn't hold back any longer and said loudly, "Are you still hesitating? You shouldn't hesitate any longer. Although the current Immortal Dynasty seems to have unified the world, anyone with eyes can see that the real power still lies with the emperors! The so-called Immortal Emperor is nothing but a puppet!"

The old sage sighed.

Li Jingheng took a deep breath and continued to earnestly persuade, "If our Li family wants to continue its legacy and maintain its former glory, your strength alone is not enough. We need a more powerful figure to protect us so that our Li family can survive in this chaotic world!"

His words left many of the Li family elders looking somber.

How many people could have imagined that not long ago, the Li family was the absolute ruler of Ziwei?

Now, emperors have suddenly emerged, walking the mortal world and taking control of all the heavens and myriad realms.

The Li family's power and prestige plummeted to their lowest point.

Below the Emperor's realm, all are but ants.

Furthermore, in recent years, they have also vaguely sensed an invisible killing intent targeting the Li family and the three major families!

Clearly, the emperors were not of one mind.

Some people allow them to exist, while others believe that the three great families of the past... no longer have any reason to exist.

After all, in the past, the three great families were the representatives of the Emperors' Alliance, governing the world on behalf of the Emperors' Alliance.

Now that the emperors are personally traveling the world, and even the celestial emperor is openly ruling the world, the three great families have naturally lost their former value.

For the Li family's top executives, this fact was hard to accept.

But they had no choice but to accept it!

Upon hearing Li Jingheng's words, they were momentarily stunned, and a sense of loss and change inevitably arose within them.

"Jingheng, do you think I wouldn't know what you're saying?"

After an unknown period of silence, the old god slowly turned around and spoke, word by word.

Li Jingheng was slightly taken aback. Before he could speak, the thin old man murmured again, "But the emperors are no longer of one mind. The other twenty-eight emperors below the Immortal Emperor... whom do you think our Li family should side with?"

"Of course it's my master..."

Li Jingheng said it subconsciously.

Although his identity remains unknown, there is no doubt that his master is one of the Twenty-Eight Emperors!

With the Li family siding with that being, is there any better option than this?

"So, do you think that person has any enemies or rivals among the emperors?" the old god asked unhurriedly.

"With my master's strength, how could he possibly..."

Li Jingheng suddenly stopped halfway through his speech.

He remembered that not long ago, he had received a message from that master, saying that he had been injured in the war and needed to go into seclusion to heal for a period of time. Unless there was an emergency, he was absolutely not allowed to disturb him!

Even if we take a step back and assume that an imperial war broke out, and that his master was injured in the war, it means that his master's enemy... was also among the emperors.

"Especially since we have served the Alliance of Emperors for many years and know many of the emperors' secrets, if we were to easily side with any one of them, we would likely incur the hostility of the other emperors..."

The old sage's next words sent chills down Li Jingheng's spine!

……

Chapter 1193

"But, but..."

Li Jingheng said "but" several times before finally managing to squeeze out the second half of his sentence: "But now, we have no choice! Are we supposed to be like that guy Li Qingmu, foolishly believing a few dead men?"

"Be prudent in your words and actions."

The old sage glanced at Li Jingheng, who immediately fell silent.

However, his face still showed his resentment.

In Li Jingheng's view, no matter how reasonable the old sage's words were, the Li family did not have a better choice at the moment!

If he completely sides with his master, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

"Zu Long was once known as the number one war god, a being capable of roaming the chaos with his physical body. How could he perish so easily? Qing Mu's choice cannot be said to be without reason."

The old sage of the Li family sighed and looked into the distance: "Didn't that emperor just now also think that the Ancestral Dragon might not be dead, and before making a move, he wanted to trick the Ancestral Dragon into showing himself?"

Li Jingheng opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Don't be impatient. With this old man here, Li Jia can still observe for a while."

The old god chuckled: "My talent is limited, and I cannot break through to a higher realm to lead the Li family to true glory. However, I can still give the Li family... another chance to choose."

In the distance, the second Emperor-level being quickly positioned in the void.

Unlike the first Emperor-level Overlord.

The second Emperor-level being to arrive, though his face was obscured, exuded an aura of life that was incredibly vigorous, pure, and filled with the allure of a vast starry sea.

"Humph!"

The first Emperor-level being snorted, but did not continue to attack.

Before long, ripples spread across the void again, and the third, fourth, and fifth Emperor-level beings arrived one after another.

After that, no new Emperor-level beings arrived.

However, no one knows whether there are other beings hiding in the depths of the void.

Just like during the war of the emperors, the five emperors concealed their faces in divine light, their majesty as imposing as mountains, making people afraid to even look them in the eye.

"It seems that all the fellow cultivators who could come today have arrived."

The emperor who seemed to control the Dao of Life smiled slightly and said, "You have all come here for the Dao Golden Jade Lotus, but do you really need it? The Dao Golden Jade Lotus is good, but it can only be used to reshape the physical body. Could it be that the physical bodies of the four of you... have all perished?"

None of the other four emperors answered.

The emperor-level being was not annoyed, but continued cheerfully, "Since you are all unwilling to answer, then I will not say anything more. With the five emperors here, suppressing the void and sealing off the boundless space, whether in heaven or on earth... the Golden Jade Lotus will not be able to escape."

"As for how to distribute it afterward, let's talk about it after we find the Golden Jade Lotus."

The Five Emperors had no objection to this.

In the next instant, the five emperors acted simultaneously, sealing off heaven and earth. Their imperial-level Dao transformed into divine chains, crisscrossing space and forming an invisible net that even pierced through the fifth and sixth layers of void, heading straight for the seventh layer.

With the Five Emperors joining forces, their supernatural powers and might increased more than double.

The seventh layer of void, which was originally difficult to reach, has now become easy to break through.

However, the Golden Jade Lotus still did not manifest itself.

"Hmph, you've certainly hidden yourself well, but unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, you can't escape!"

One of the Emperor-level beings gave a cold shout, and instantly, the divine chain net pierced through the seventh void and began to touch the eighth void!

The Thousand-Winged Ancestral Dragon Ship at the edge of the eighth void also floated slightly under their power, as if it was about to reveal its true form from the void!

"If they force us to reveal our true forms..." Zu Long's expression turned solemn, and a fighting spirit gradually rose in his eyes, "We might have to fight!"

Although he has not recovered to his peak, he is currently no match for the emperors.

However, things have come to this point, with turmoil looming and the road ahead fraught with peril. If we do not take this gamble, we may face certain death in the future!

What gave Zulong a real headache was that even at this point, Feng Xia still showed no intention of dodging. His third divine eye between his eyebrows opened, its yin and yang divine light shining brightly, as if he were searching for something in the void.

The void is essentially a deeper space.

The void was utterly desolate and filled with terrifying pressure. Ordinary creatures could not venture far into the void before being torn to pieces.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, what are you looking for?"

"I am looking for the Golden Jade Lotus."

Feng Xia suddenly spoke up, saying, "I've been pondering a question: if the theft of the Dao Golden Jade Lotus was a setup... what was the purpose of the person who set it up? Those who were lured here by the Dao Golden Jade Lotus are most likely beings who have lost their physical bodies and urgently need to rebuild them. What's the point of bringing this group of people together?"

Zu Long was slightly taken aback, but then he was both amused and exasperated. He said angrily, "Fellow Daoist Feng, the Five Emperors are about to find this place. At least now is not the time to think about such things!"

"So I was thinking, the Dao Golden Jade Lotus itself doesn't have much spirituality, but it can reshape the physical body, so what if we reversed it... and endowed the Dao Golden Jade Lotus with spirituality?"

"What does it mean to endow the Golden Jade Lotus of the Dao with spirituality?"

Even the Ancestral Dragon couldn't understand Feng Xia's words for a moment: "Fellow Daoist Feng, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Feng Xia continued, "If we were to make a comparison, the Dao Golden Jade Lotus is our material, used to reshape our physical body. Conversely... the Dao Golden Jade Lotus uses the divine consciousness or even the primordial spirit of an Emperor-level being as its material..."

Boom——
