Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

?1694 Oath and Command

“K-Kill?” The Dragon Emperor looked at his wife in surprise. “But… but he’s his Majesty’s son. That beast is his soon-to-be wife. We can’t kill them.”

“What other choices do we have, dear?” the Empress asked. “We’ve already done so much to escape from your prophecy, what’s one more death?”

“But… it’s the Azure Dragon’s son. I don’t know if I can—”

“It’s kill or be killed, my husband,” the Empress said. “What do you choose?”

The Dragon Emperor grabbed his head in his hand and clutched his blue hair in a grip. The answer was simple. He wanted to live, so he would do anything to live.

The prophecy… was it really coming true after all this time?

Above your realm shall they proclaim your end. A King, a son of a King, and a Tiger pure White. If this was to come true, where were the King and the son of a King?

Or was it referring to the little cat whose father was the Azure Dragon? In that case, was King not a literal term and instead a generic term for a monarch?

Had he been looking at it wrong the entire time?

‘No, that can’t be,’ the Dragon Emperor thought. ‘A King means a King. Otherwise, I would have an even larger problem in my hand. In the first place, if the prophecy counted the Azure Dragon as a king, then he couldn’t kill me anyhow.’

“We must go for the White Tiger first, the bigger one that’s the main threat,” the Dragon Emperor said. “The smaller one is too weak to do anything, despite its talents. It won’t be a problem for a long time.”

“We will still have to take care of it,” the Empress said.

The Dragon Emperor nodded before letting a sigh release. “Are we really attacking the Azure Dragon? It feels… wrong.”

“Anything for our survival, dear,” the Empress said. “We will need to make preparations now. Immortals can’t attack us, correct?”

“They can, but not the Rulers. They made an oath to never kill us,” the Dragon Emperor said. “If they do, they die.”

“What else do we know about them?” the Empress asked.

The Dragon Emperor gave a short explanation of what he knew. “Oh right, the Azure Dragons are known to be close to the element of Space. We will have to be careful about it. I don’t know if this Azure Dragon has grasped the Dao of Space, but he must certainly have the Dao of Teleportation. Anyone that is an Azure Dragon is said to know how to use it simply by being its bloodline.”

“Teleportation… that will be difficult to deal with,” the Empress said.

The Dragon Emperor nodded along with her and thought for a moment. “Actually,” a thought came to him. “We do have a way to deal with it. At least, we have a way to interfere in it.”

“Interfere?” the Empress asked.

“The Ebony sword,” the Dragon Emperor said. “It has the power to interfere with teleportation, I believe. If we can use it, we can stop His Majesty from throwing us out.”

“I see, that works,” the Empress said and continued making plans. In the end, once everything was decided, it was time to act on it. They needed to kill the White cat and the child before the Azure Dragon could take them away from the secret realm.

The Empress made her way to her son’s quarters to meet him before they got ready to leave. Long Fangyu was surprised to hear that his mother was going to try and break through to the Immortal realm and happily let go of the Ebony sword that was in his possession.

The Empress would have been more than happy to get the Ivory sword too, but she didn’t have the time to go looking for her second son or wait for them to return.

The Emperor gathered the best of the best to get them prepared for what was basically another war.

Yan Yating, the legion head of War stood before the elite group of soldiers, as they all waited for the Dragon Emperor to command them.

The Dragon Emperor arrived and told them to do one simple thing.

They were all to make an oath that for that day and that day only, the group of them would absolutely follow all of his and his wife’s orders without any question and never tell anyone what happened that day.

If they were not willing to do so, they could leave right away.

Everyone had been a member of the military for at least the past 2 thousand years, so nobody had any qualms about following that one rule. So, without any hesitation, everyone took the oath.

“Since you’ve all made the oaths,” the Dragon Emperor said. “Let us move. There’s a war to fight.”

Everyone enthusiastically went along with the Dragon Emperor. The Empress came along with them and the group of fighters started getting confused. Some asked the Empress to stay behind, but she wanted to fight too. She was, after all, the 2nd strongest right after the Dragon Emperor.

The group of soldiers was still confused about where they were going. Yan Yating started having a really bad feeling.

Then, the Emperor took them to a teleportation formation and used a token only he held to teleport them all into the Azure Dragon’s realm.

“Where… where are we, Your Majesty?” one of the soldiers asked.

“We are in the Azure Dragon’s realm,” the Dragon Emperor told them. “Here, you will find a White Cat and its kitten. Find them, and kill them.”

The soldiers behind the Dragon Emperor looked around with a confused look. “Umm, Your Majesty…” Yan Yating started speaking. “What do you mean—”

“You all made the oath to follow my orders for today,” the Dragon Emperor said. “Now go do it. Kill anyone that gets in your way.”

The soldiers paled in fear, but the oath made them act. Immediately, they flew away from where they were in search of the White cat. They found her lying in the sun and attacked.

In a panic, Shi Meiyoung attacked back as well to protect herself and her son, getting into a fight despite only being in the Saint Transformation 5th realm.

The Azure Dragon appeared in a flash, teleporting from somewhere else, confused and surprised at what was going on. “Stop it!” he shouted. “What are you doing?”

He created a small gust of wind to stop everyone from attacking, making a buffer between the group.

“Your Majesty, please step aside,” the Dragon Emperor said. “We will be quick about it.”

“About what?” the Azure Dragon asked, appearing in front of one of the attackers who managed to move past the wall of air using a treasure of his. The Azure Dragon simply defended the person’s attack, doing nothing at all in retaliation.

“Your Majesty, my apologies, but your wife and son are going to kill me in the future,” the Dragon Emperor said with an emotionless voice. “I must get rid of them before they can be a problem.”

“You… you want to kill my wife and son?” the Azure Dragon asked in disbelief.

“As I said, please step aside,” the Dragon Emperor said. “We’ll be quick about it.”
