Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2131

"W-Wait a second! I must've misheard you... Did you just say you're enemies with the Celestial Emperor?" the leader of the Imperial Vermilion Phoenix Clan asked aloud, snapping out of her daze.

Yuan calmly nodded, "That's exactly what I just said."

“You're essentially asking us to fight the Celestial Emperor with you! This is much more than just being your follower! Do you have any idea what you're asking of us?" Another leader exclaimed.

“I am aware, but I want to clear up one thing," said Yuan. "I am not asking you to fight the Celestial Emperor. I wanted to let you know that he and I will be fighting in the future, so you know what you're getting yourselves into. I'm not going to ask you to fight for or with me."

"Are you serious? Why would you even share this with us? What if we refuse to help you and side with the Celestial Emperor instead?" asked the leader of the Crimson Rebirth Phoenix Clan.

Yuan replied, "Because now you also know that siding with the Celestial Emperor may put you in direct conflict with me in the future. I won't force you to choose. If everyone here decides to support the Celestial Emperor, then so be it."

"And I'm not asking you to decide right this moment. I'l give you one year to choose whose side you'll stand on."

"Hahaha!" the Primordial Phoenix suddenly burst into laughter.

“What's so funny?" Yuan asked him.

“It's funny because the answer is obvious!" he said.

"Oh? Enlighten me."

“Why would we ever choose you over the Celestial Emperor? So what if you're the immortal Monarch? You're nowhere near as powerful as you once were."

"And what makes you say that?" Yuan asked calmly.

The other phoenixes listened with curiosity as the Primordial Phoenix sneered.

“I know more about you than you realize, Immortal Monarch. I know that most of your reputation was built on the Nine Divine Supremes and that most of your strength came from them. But now that they're gone, you're just another human cultivator! Sure, you might command beasts and enhance our bloodlines, but on your own, you're weak!" Hearing the Primordial Phoenix's reasoning, the other phoenixes found his logic sound and began nodding in agreement.

"He's right, Immortal Monarch. You were a nobody before you gained the Nine Divine Supremes’ support," said the leader of the Immortal Ember Phoenix Clan.

“That's why he wants us to serve him. He's desperately trying to replace the Nine Divine Supremes!" Another phoenix remarked.

“I don't need a year to decide. I will continue being by the Celestial Emperor's side," said the Primordial Phoenix.

Yuan smiled faintly and said, "You're right—my reputation spread far and wide largely because of the Nine Divine Supremes. But even if some of them are no longer here, their seats will not remain vacant forever. In fact, I have already begun looking for more comrades."

"And you're looking at one right now." Feng Yuxiang said with a prideful expression on her face.

“Wait... the way you said that... it almost sounds like some of the Nine Divine Supremes are still alive,” remarked Feng Yushan of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

He continued, *I have already said enough. Unless I am certain that you're going to be my ally, I won't reveal any more information." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
