The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries — Chapter 405

Chapter 405: Shi Jian Mocks Yang Qi: The Villains in Your World Lack Class!

“Long time no see, Brother Yang Qi!”

After spending time strengthening the people of the Ten Thousand Dharma Hall, Shi Jian arrived directly in Yang Qi’s world.

“Long time no see, Shi Jian!”

The two greeted each other warmly.

At this moment, Yang Qi’s strength was incredibly formidable. His Cultivation could be described as operating the Heavens, ever-flowing and inexhaustible.

The two set up layers of supreme barriers around them, isolating the space before sitting down next to each other in the void.

“Your Cultivation is truly profound now, Brother, and with Magic Treasures like the Talisman of the Immortal King of Executions, the Mark of the Gods, the Disk of Civilization, and the Myriad Realms King Chart, suppressing me would probably be but a flick of a finger!”

Shi Jian activated his Dominator’s Eye, staring at Yang Qi for a long time, yet he couldn’t fully discern the depth of his power.

One must know that Shi Jian’s Cultivation had already reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, and his combat power was considered invincible even among ordinary Immortal Emperors.

For an ordinary Immortal Emperor Realm peer, he could see through their entire foundation with a glance. Yet, looking at Yang Qi now, he could only make out a few tantalizing clues.

From this, it was evident that Yang Qi’s strength was still slightly above his own, which was a comfortable thought.

However, even if Yang Qi possessed numerous treasures, it would be difficult to suppress Shi Jian with a mere flick of a finger. The reason Shi Jian said this was simple: his brother was indirectly supplying him with cosmic luxury cars and Dao villas.

What’s wrong with saying a few nice, flattering words in return?

“You’ve got good foresight, Brother,” Yang Qi responded proudly, accepting the compliment. “With the Mark of the Gods embedded in me, my body has now Cultivated to a truly perfect state—a foundation even those ancient deities cannot compare to!”

They were sworn brothers, able to share hardships and prosperity. It was naturally good for everyone to be well.

“But if I’m a bit better than you,” Yang Qi thought with a touch of smugness, “that’s even better!”

Looking at the somewhat smug Yang Qi, Shi Jian smiled: “Your treasures are excellent, but now they’re mine. Come, let me copy them into my Library…”

Yang Qi rolled his eyes good-naturedly, then tapped his palm. The Myriad Realms King Chart, the Talisman of the Immortal King of Executions, and the Disk of Civilization all appeared in his hand.

These were the fundamental, core tools of his existence in the world. He had never fully displayed these items to others before, but now, he confidently handed them over to Shi Jian.

“Your Golden Finger for copying is truly unreasonable; treasures I obtained through countless hardships, you just copy them so easily!” Yang Qi exclaimed with genuine emotion.

Shi Jian took the items and smiled: “No choice, Heaven provides!”

[Collecting the Myriad Realms King Chart]

[Collecting the Talisman of the Immortal King of Executions]

Information from the Library of the Heavens popped up. Shi Jian quickly estimated the Chat Group’s collection progress; it would take about a month to completely copy the essence of these supreme items.

“It will take my Library about a month to completely collect these items and record their Laws… I’ll return them to you after I’m done copying.” Shi Jian looked at Yang Qi and spoke honestly.

Yang Qi nodded: “Then keep them for now. It’s good that you’re staying longer this time. But my things aren’t so easy to take; you’ll have to work for me to pay off your debt!”

“Your subordinate greets Holy King!” Shi Jian responded in mock servitude.

Yang Qi rolled his eyes again, then his expression turned cold and serious: “Some elements from Tusita Heaven, Nine Suns Divine Sect, and the Divine Dragon Division are profoundly dissatisfied with me. The people from Nine Suns Divine Sect are the most active; they’re contacting others everywhere to organize an official coalition to deal with me!”

“Before, they relied on their Old Ancestors in the Grandmist Realm to oppress me at every turn. Now that I’ve advanced to the Mythical Realm, you and I, brothers, will attack together and directly sweep them away!”

“Furthermore, the battles between the Guardian Alliance and the Future Ones are becoming increasingly fierce, and there are immense Opportunities to be seized within them!” Yang Qi’s tone was filled with surging Killing Intent.

After Breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, Shi Jian had not fought a significant battle. Now that he had arrived in Yang Qi’s world, Yang Qi wanted to stir up trouble. That perfectly suited his intentions as well.

“The people of your Holy King World, regardless of their Realm, are truly annoying; it was quite frustrating reading about them. Now that I’m here, you just say who to kill, and I’ll kill them!” Shi Jian was also filled with monstrous Killing Intent.

Yang Qi nodded: “Some old, entrenched things are indeed noisy, without any class or style at all, annoying like bothersome flies!”

Although they hadn’t seen each other for nearly ten thousand years, there was no awkwardness between the two supreme beings upon meeting.

After their initial conversation, the two then sparred using the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, mutually verifying their Cultivation experiences and pushing their Dao further. Thus, several months passed in an instant.

After Shi Jian had almost finished copying all the core Magic Treasures from Yang Qi’s palm, he returned the items. After thoroughly copying everything from his brother’s arsenal, Shi Jian had truly upgraded his combat arsenal, and his strength had greatly increased again.

This time, Shi Jian was still familiarizing himself with his newly acquired treasures when Yang Qi approached him with a specific request:

“The Guardian Alliance has officially summoned me to the Heavenly Dao Circulation Divine Hall; a few old things want to be rude to me, probably preparing to formally accuse me and demand tribute!”

“Just accompany me there, Brother Shi Jian!”

Shi Jian’s face broke into a knowing smile upon hearing this. “How did you manage to get yourself into this? You already knew the script, yet you still have to go through this accusation plot point!”

Yang Qi’s face revealed a deep sneer: “Otherwise, why would I call them a bunch of old things? I’m giving them a chance to show their hand, but they’re useless and predictable!”

“It is an accusation, yes, but it’s not them accusing me; it’s me staging the moment for me to accuse them!”

“Then let’s go…” Shi Jian toyed with the newly copied Talisman of the Immortal King of Executions in his hand, also revealing a sharp sneer.

…

The two supreme beings arrived at the central Divine Hall of the Guardian Alliance. The Heavenly Dao Circulation Divine Hall.

This was an ancient divine relic that had been moved here, then rooted itself immutably in the Void Realm, occupying a commanding height and constantly surrounded by incredibly pure Origin Qi.

The Guardian Alliance was vast, composed of trillions of combined Immortal Realms. It was managed day and night by experts, transforming the hall into a grand, complex formation. Countless experts were within this Divine Hall.

“Heavenly Dao Circulation Divine Hall… I want to see what kind of Dragon’s Den this is, and how some old, entrenched things plan to lay their hands on me!”

“If there truly is someone foolish enough, with Shi Jian here, my brother and I can just turn the world upside down with our slaughter…” Yang Qi thought, full of confidence. He led Shi Jian into the interior of the Heavenly Dao Circulation Divine Hall.

Shi Jian recalled the matters concerning the Heavenly Dao Circulation Divine Hall in the original novel, and his heart was filled with amused interest.

“They’re here!”

“This child is here!”

“Kneel! A figure of Elder level, who hasn’t even reached the Mythical Realm, actually dares to enter! He must kowtow three times and bow nine times upon entering, kowtow to us, hand over all his Opportunities, and work for our Guardian Alliance without any compensation!”

“Some matters are not for you to decide. I see great potential in this child; he is a talent for the Guardian Alliance!”

“However, this child has committed a grave sin; what kind of talent is he? I see him as a fool! He must be our slave for a hundred million years to atone for his mistakes!”

Upon entering the Divine Hall, Shi Jian was immediately assaulted by these overtly aggressive words.

He gasped inwardly. Just right!

This was the characteristic flavor. As expected of the Holy King’s people! This blatant, arrogant flavor. Villains from other worlds truly couldn’t imitate it.

Powerful Divine Thought surged like a market full of arguing vendors.

Inside the entire Divine Hall, there were numerous Chaos Thrones. Upon those thrones sat the Old Ancestors.

Some of these Old Ancestors had a good impression of Yang Qi, some were indifferent, some watched coldly, while others had ferocious, greedy expressions.

These figures—their strength was extraordinary, dominating billions of Immortal Realms. Shi Jian initially sensed that the most boisterous ones should possess Quasi-Immortal Emperor level combat power.

Figures of this supreme level, yet they argued like flies buzzing in a vegetable market. It was truly amusing.

“Still needs practice, their class isn’t even as good as Emperor Cang’s…” Shi Jian thought to himself, shaking his head.

Emperor Cang’s raw strength was negligible in this Heavenly Dao Circulation Divine Hall compared to the masters, but his class and intimidating presence were far superior to this group of noisy Old Ancestors.

Shi Jian recalled Emperor Cang’s initial words: “Pilgrim, devout and sincere, coming from the other side of the sea, every step a kowtow, only to meet this Seat. Why do you come with Killing Intent?”

Just this one sentence, Shi Jian thought, was enough for this whole group of screaming people to learn from for a lifetime.

Shi Jian quickly transmitted the scene of Emperor Cang’s initial, cold appearance to Yang Qi’s mind.

Yang Qi felt greatly embarrassed after watching it. Damn it. A bunch of old things.

They don’t even know how to be villains properly. No class at all. Same strength, look at the villains in other worlds, then look at yourselves!

Yang Qi’s Killing Intent grew even stronger, but he focused on delivering his own line perfectly.

Yang Qi cupped his hands, his entire body seeming to enlarge. Golden light burst forth from within, erupting with terrifying power, every single Old Ancestor illuminated by the majestic golden light.

“Esteemed Old Ancestors, I’m in a good mood today, to still be able to hold a noisy meeting here!”

His voice resonated like a grand bell throughout the hall, instantly shattering all the arguing sounds and suppressing the petty Divine Thought chatter.

“Today, esteemed Old Ancestors summoned me. Are you planning to promote me to the same status as yourselves? Supreme Old Ancestor? I believe I can handle it; I’ll just nominate myself, no need for esteemed Old Ancestors to speak!”

Yang Qi still concealed a portion of his supreme Cultivation. However, the Aura he displayed was enough to intimidate many petty villains!

Those ancient Old Ancestors, seeing Yang Qi’s formidable Aura, immediately changed their minds. Yang Qi’s Cultivation seemed to be only at the 9 Traces Shattered Dao Realm, but the Aura he displayed was at the Peak of the Tuo God Realm—directly spanning more than one major Realm.

He was simply a peerless Prodigy among Prodigies. Such a person absolutely must not be offended lightly!

However, at this moment, an Old Ancestor spoke, high and mighty, with direct Killing Intent in his tone: “How dare you!”

“What is your status, to dare to shout loudly deep within the Heavenly Dao Circulation Hall?”

Yang Qi ignored him, disdainfully picking his ear: “Where did this dog come from, daring to bark at me?”

“This is an ancient Old Ancestor of the Nine Suns Divine Sect, and those beside him are also among the Ancestral Masters of the Nine Suns Divine Sect. It was they who united a group of people to hold a meeting to punish you!” an ancient Old Ancestor stepped forward—Promoted Master Boy!

Yang Qi had previously shown him kindness, so he stood on Yang Qi’s side.

“Don’t worry, little brother, most of us support you. After all, you’ve made so many indispensable contributions to the Guardian Alliance!” Promoted Master Boy spoke.

After he spoke, a sinister voice instantly appeared, and an extremely oppressive Ancestral Master arrived: “Promoted Master Boy, are you saying you want to protect this brat? Retreat! If you don’t retreat, I will destroy your Family and School!”

This was the Supreme Sect Master of the Nine Suns Divine Sect. His Cultivation had reached the Grandmist Realm, having comprehended the Dao of Grandmist. Promoted Master Boy was no match.

But he wasn’t cowardly either: “Nine Suns Sect Master, I am also one of the ancient Old Ancestors of the Guardian Alliance; do not bully others too much, or it will be a lose-lose situation…”

“Do you even deserve to go for a lose-lose with me? My Realm is higher than yours; what if I oppress you? A thousand or a hundred of your Realm cannot contend with this Seat; killing you is like slaughtering a chicken. If you anger me, my patience is slowly disappearing…”

The two confronted each other, almost making Shi Jian burst out laughing.

This dialogue was simply too classic.

This Supreme Sect Master of the Nine Suns Divine Sect should have Immortal Emperor level combat power. Yet, his words were so plain, lacking the flair of a supreme villain. He was somewhat domineering, but he lacked the cosmic class. A bit unrefined.

Yang Qi’s Killing Intent grew even stronger, focused not just on the threat but on the lack of style.

Shi Jian transmitted another memory to him: the memory of the terrifying Immortal King An Lan knocking on the gate of the Imperial Pass back then.

“At the Peak of Immortals, I stand above all; where An Lan is, there is Heaven…”

“Those who chant my true name shall see eternal life in Reincarnation!”

“Reincarnation, I overlook all ages, accustomed to life and death! Who is in Reincarnation? What Immortal Kings cut down is mere filth; who dares to Reincarnate before me? Reincarnation is just a beautiful joke. True powerhouses never believe in Reincarnation!”

A whole string of incredibly domineering lines from the past made Yang Qi’s heart surge with mixed emotion and annoyance.

He had participated in the grand decisive battle at the Imperial Pass, but the Foreign Realm Immortal Kings all became well-behaved after the chat group arrived. They didn’t even have a chance to recite their arrogant lines.

Therefore, Yang Qi didn’t know An Lan was so good at showing off.

Now, he saw An Lan’s iconic lines and then looked at the Nine Suns Divine Sect Master’s lines. He felt profoundly ashamed.

The Nine Suns Divine Sect Master’s strength was a thousand times that of the Immortal King An Lan. Yet, he had no class at all and even made Shi Jian laugh.

Yang Qi’s Killing Intent grew even stronger. He had to show them how a true master acts.

“Nine Suns Sect Master? Your Nine Suns Sect wants to deal with me, but you don’t even weigh whether you have the proper qualifications!”

“With so many initiators and founders of the Guardian Alliance here, do you alone make the decisions for all of them?”

The Nine Suns Sect Master’s gaze fixed on Yang Qi, like a venomous snake slithering: “It’s you who is unwilling to earn money for my Nine Suns Divine Sect? My Nine Suns Divine Sect valuing you is your fortune; if we want to protect you, we protect you. If we don’t protect you and treat you as a pawn, abandoning you, you should not harbor resentment!”

“I’ll give you a chance; become a slave of my Nine Suns Divine Sect, and I’ll spare your life today. Otherwise, I’ll punish you!”

The Nine Suns Sect Master sat comfortably on his throne. His words indeed lacked the class of An Lan’s. However, they were also domineering and powerful.

It was pure bandit logic, without any reason whatsoever. But this was the ultimate attitude of a strong person: Who cares about your status? If I say I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you. If I make you a dog, I’ll make you a dog.

Yang Qi’s gaze grew colder. Normally, he would jump up and down upon hearing such words. Not to mention, his good buddy, an Immortal Emperor, was right beside him now.

“I’ll also give you a chance, Sect Master; kneel now and kowtow to me. I just happen to need a new dog to be a pioneer in the next battle. If you kneel, I can spare your life!”

“Otherwise, today, the Nine Suns Divine Sect shall be annihilated!”

Upon hearing Yang Qi’s words, the Nine Suns Divine Sect Master immediately flew into a cold rage, his face contorted in disbelief.

Shi Jian, however, was suppressing his laughter beside him, stifling it with difficulty.

Compared to these loud, unrefined villains, Yang Qi, the protagonist… was also six of one, half a dozen of the other. The exact same aggressive, arrogant tone.

A distinct “Holy King flavor”!

“Do you think I don’t know that you called me here with ill intentions, Sect Master?”

“The Nine Suns Divine Sect and the Divine Dragon Division have long been dissatisfied with me, and other forces also want me to display my value and serve as a tool!”

“But what Yang Qi wants to do in this universe, it’s not for you to arrange!”

“I came today to show you all who is truly the King in this Alliance, and who is the expendable pawn!” Yang Qi’s Aura surged violently once again!
