Chapter 253 This Is Not Good, Is It? Proud Empress Huangyue! Celestial Immortal Ranks Ninth! The Gen
Chapter 253: Is this not good? The proud Empress Phoenix Moon! Ranked ninth on the Celestial Immortal List! The grand gesture of Chengsheng Mountain.
On the peak of Chengdao Peak, Han Li and Lu Yuan were nestled together, enjoying the sunset on the horizon.
The twilight of the setting sun, a couple of immortals, a perfect match made in heaven.
It had been several days since Lu Yuan married Han Li, but it felt like dozens or even hundreds of days had passed.
There is a saying: "Tomorrow and tomorrow, there will be more tomorrows. I wait for tomorrow, and everything is wasted."
Han Li never wasted his time. Day after day, he worked diligently, taking care of his own garden, constantly tilling, planting, watering, and fertilizing, making the flowers bloom and compete for beauty.
"My husband~"
Nestled in Han Li's arms, Lu Yuan looked up at him with a hint of confusion in her eyes and called out softly.
"What's wrong, Yuan'er?"
Han Li lowered his head slightly, looking at the flawless beauty in his arms, his handsome face adorned with a faint smile.
Lu Yuan's gaze met Han Li's, and a blush immediately appeared on her delicate face. She said in a sweet voice, "I miss my master a little."
The experiences of the past few days had made Lu Yuan feel somewhat unreal, as if she were dreaming.
It should be noted that she came from the Two Realms Mountain, one of the two quasi-emperor-level forces in the Land of the Clear Light. She was the direct disciple of the quasi-emperor ancestor, with a broad knowledge and a broad vision. She herself was also exceptionally beautiful and extraordinary.
In the Land of the Clear Light, there is also a list similar to the Celestial Immortal List, which includes the most beautiful female cultivators in the entire land. Lu Yuan ranks in the top five, which shows how beautiful she is, surpassing Han Li's standards for choosing a wife by a considerable margin.
Most of the beautiful female cultivators ranked ahead of her are similar to Lu Yuan, but with stronger cultivation bases. Only the one ranked first is even more beautiful.
That person is her master!
Shi Yanmeng, the quasi-emperor ancestor of the Two Realms Mountain.
But in Chengsheng Mountain, Lu Yuan found that her appearance, figure, temperament, and so on were all ordinary. Even her proud talent and physique were not outstanding among Han Li's many wives, at least not in Chengsheng Mountain.
And as Han Li's wife, the benefits, status, and privileges she could enjoy in Chengsheng Mountain were far beyond what she had expected, many times stronger.
Her master, Shi Yanmeng, was unparalleled in the Two Realms Mountain and also the strongest in the Land of the Clear Light, but she had far fewer cultivation resources than her disciple.
To the point that, when Lu Yuan communicated with Han Li about Dao techniques, an audacious thought occasionally crossed her mind.
Missing her master?
Han Li looked at Lu Yuan in surprise.
Lu Yuan had only been in Chengsheng Mountain for a few days, including the time spent traveling through the teleportation array and rushing to Chengsheng Mountain. Even if you counted these few days, it would not exceed ten days.
Leaving the Two Realms Mountain for less than ten days and already feeling homesick, missing her family, was her master Shi Yanmeng her own mother?
With a slight complaint in his heart, Han Li couldn't figure out why Lu Yuan would say such a thing. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Should I issue an imperial decree for you, summoning your master to Chengsheng Mountain for an audience?"
He definitely doesn't plan on making a trip, and Lu Yuan feels the same way. They just got married, and it's a good time to build their relationship.
They can only trouble Shi Yanmeng to come to Chengsheng Mountain.
"It's not a good idea."
A flicker of surprise flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes as he hesitated to speak.
Although she had this bold idea, she didn't know if she could convince her master. Her master was the kind of person who was pure and cold, and it would probably be difficult to agree.
If that happened, their master-disciple relationship would become strained, which is something Lu Yuan didn't want to see.
"There's nothing wrong with it."
Han Li didn't think much about it, his tone calm and confident.
Lu Ming Shenzhou is one of the divine states under the jurisdiction of Chengsheng Mountain. As a subsidiary force of Chengsheng Mountain, Lu Yuan's master is considered his subordinate.
"Alright then."
Lu Yuan's heart suddenly trembled, her eyes filled with anticipation as she started thinking about how to convince her master to stay.
Afterwards, the two of them were affectionate on the mountaintop, whispering sweet nothings to each other. Lu Yuan listened to Han Li's words of love, her face filled with happiness.
As the sunset, Han Li whispered in Lu Yuan's ear, "Yuan'er."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's face turned red, even her earlobes turned pink, showing extreme shyness. She lowered her head, her voice weak and mosquito-like, "I'll listen to my husband~"
Han Li burst into laughter, picked up Lu Yuan, and disappeared from the mountaintop, entering the ninth floor of the Time Heaven Tower. He was going to teach Lu Yuan, the female Martial Emperor, profound and advanced Dao techniques, imparting everything without reservation.
Phoenix Moon Dynasty.
Imperial City, Imperial Palace.
The Phoenix Moon Empress stood in front of the palace, wearing golden armor, her hands behind her back, her exquisite body swaying. Standing beside her was her golden spear.
Looking at the Xuan Shen Sword Mountain in the east, the Phoenix Moon Empress let out a sigh.
She then looked towards Chengsheng Mountain in the west, a trace of anger appeared on her flawless face, but it disappeared in an instant.
The Phoenix Moon Empress had complex feelings towards the person from Chengsheng Mountain.
Although that shameless and lecherous bastard didn't have a higher cultivation level or stronger power than her, she couldn't do anything to him, even when she joined forces with the Yuan Chu Empress.
Chengsheng Mountain and Xuan Shen Sword Mountain were the two mountains pressing on her heart, but of course, Chengsheng Mountain couldn't be compared to Xuan Shen Sword Mountain.
"Don't let this Empress find an opportunity."
Thinking of the last words Han Li said to her and the Yuan Chu Empress two years ago, the Phoenix Moon Empress snorted a few times.
In order to go out and avoid the catastrophe of Yuankun Territory, as well as to punish Han Li, Empress Huangyue has been relatively low-key in the past two years and has not caused trouble for Han Li.
During these two years, she has already separated a trace of her divine soul and is waiting for this soul to grow.
To prevent any accidents, Empress Huangyue did not let it roam freely this time. She found the separated soul early on and brought it back to Kunji Divine Continent, allowing it to cultivate under her watchful eyes.
"I hope everything goes smoothly."
Thinking about the scenes she has deduced, Empress Huangyue feels a tightness in her heart, sensing immense pressure and a heavy conscience.
When the new soul reaches the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, it will be able to merge with the other nine souls, greatly increasing her own combat power and attempting to step into the realm of Celestial Immortal.
However, whether she can succeed or not, Empress Huangyue is not completely certain, mainly because her Primordial Spirit is not yet complete.
One of her souls has fallen into the hands of that bastard Han Li. Although it is only a trace of her divine soul, sometimes that trace is crucial.
Han Li will not return that soul to her. She has only two methods to achieve her goal.
The first method is to unite several powerful forces, even all the powerful forces, and attack Chengsheng Mountain to kill Han Li and retrieve her soul.
Empress Yuanchu probably has the same idea. Although the White Emperor holds a grudge against them, he should also take action against Han Li.
As for Tianji Tower, Sun Dynasty, Changsheng Qin Family, Changsheng Ji Family, Western Heaven Palace, and Butian Sect, these six powerful forces are hard to say. They might take advantage of the situation, but if they become the target, it is likely that no one will be willing to help.
Unless the Huangyue Dynasty, Yuanchu Mountain, and White Emperor City take the lead and clash with Chengsheng Mountain, the six powerful forces should be willing to assist. Who wouldn't want to benefit from the situation?
But by doing so, they would harm others and not benefit themselves. The three major forces would suffer great damage and even decline completely, benefiting other powerful forces.
If they are not in a hurry, they can wait. Chengsheng Mountain is still rapidly expanding at the moment. When Chengsheng Mountain has a major conflict with other powerful forces, then there will be a basis for cooperation. The Huangyue Dynasty and the other two major forces do not need to take the lead.
However, it is unknown how many tens of thousands of years it will take. Can they really wait that long?
The main issue is Han Li's strength and the rapid expansion of Chengsheng Mountain. After waiting for tens of thousands of years or even longer, will Chengsheng Mountain still be something they can deal with?
Chengsheng Mountain has only been developing for less than three hundred years. Giving Han Li tens of thousands of years will give rise to an enormous threat.
Besides the first method, Empress Huangyue has a second method, but she does not want to implement it unless it is absolutely necessary.
That is to exchange the soul with herself.
Han Li has been coveting her body for quite some time, and he has even openly expressed it.
If she willingly marries into Chengsheng Mountain and becomes Han Li's Dao companion, the condition would be to retrieve her soul. She believes that Han Li would agree.
After all, she is Empress Huangyue!
However, Empress Huangyue really does not want to use this method. It would damage her pride.
She plans to continue waiting, to see if the soul can grow and merge, and if it cannot be complete, then she will make a decision.
On the other side, in the Yuanchu Divine Land.
On the Yuanchu Mountain, the Yuanchu Empress was clad in silver battle armor, wielding a silver halberd. At this moment, she was contemplating something almost identical to the Phoenix Moon Empress.
She and the Phoenix Moon Empress were thinking along the same lines.
After some hesitation, she also decided to continue waiting, to see if there would be a turning point in the situation. If not, she would have no choice.
In the Taibai Divine Land, in the White Emperor City.
The White Emperor was contemplating life.
He didn't have the same worries as the Phoenix Moon Empress and the Yuanchu Empress. He didn't have to worry about splitting his soul and was walking a different path.
However, compared to the two peerless empresses, the White Emperor's situation was much more miserable.
The Phoenix Moon Empress and the Yuanchu Empress had only lost their split souls, but the White Emperor had been killed by Han Li once, and it led to the devastation of the Taibai Immortal Realm, causing a great loss of vitality.
Although the White Emperor hated Han Li to the extreme, he didn't have the intention to fight him to the death. He planned to learn from Han Li and become a survival supreme.
He wanted to live a low-key life until he successfully transformed into a battle immortal, then transcend the tribulation and become a celestial immortal. At that time, he would have the confidence to confront Han Li.
Before that, he felt that he couldn't act too high-profile anymore. The White Emperor also restrained the White Emperor City, making the disciples and followers within the power keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble.
"I hope there will be some good news." The White Emperor sighed with a worried expression.
The once spirited and commanding White Emperor had long disappeared.
In these past two years, the White Emperor had been trying his best to enhance the foundation of the White Emperor City. However, everything had to be done cautiously and secretly, so as not to attract the attention of other powerful forces in the Yuankun Domain, especially the Chengsheng Mountain.
Currently, the biggest gap between the White Emperor City and the Chengsheng Mountain was in the True Immortal weapons. Both sides had similar Celestial Immortal weapons, and the Heavenly Sovereign Realm weapons were not important.
The White Emperor City only had the Martial Immortal Palace as a True Immortal weapon, while the Chengsheng Mountain had the Human Dao Sword and the Qiankun Bracelet, two True Immortal weapons, which suppressed the White Emperor.
Even if he transcended the tribulation and became an immortal as a battle immortal, it would be difficult for him to suppress the Chengsheng Mountain. At most, they would be evenly matched.
To confront the Chengsheng Mountain, he had to continue enhancing the foundation of the White Emperor City. That's why the White Emperor had been searching for the traces of True Immortal weapons in these past two years.
The Yuankun Domain was vast and had accumulated countless years of history. The number of True Immortal weapons was not small, but it was extremely difficult to obtain them.
True Immortal weapons could shield their own heavenly secrets, making it almost impossible to deduce their whereabouts. One could only rely on opportunities to find the hiding places of True Immortal weapons and pass the tests to gain recognition.
However, in order to confront Han Li, as long as there were clues, regardless of their authenticity, he would send his avatars to investigate. His main body would stay in the Taibai Immortal Realm, guarded by the True Immortal weapon, and no one could kill him.
The White Emperor's goal was to obtain two True Immortal weapons. He knew it was difficult, but he had to strive in that direction, no matter how difficult it was.
With Han Li's cunning nature, it was hard to say if there was a third True Immortal weapon. The White Emperor estimated the probability to be fifty-fifty.
Therefore, he had to make the White Emperor City possess three True Immortal weapons, so even if the Chengsheng Mountain did have a third True Immortal weapon, they wouldn't be able to stop him.
After all, Han Li's cultivation hadn't even reached the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, while he was already at the peak of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. In a few thousand years at most, he would have the confidence to transform into a battle immortal and transcend the tribulation to become an immortal.
Put away your worries, the White Emperor paced in the fairy palace with his hands behind his back, contemplating another immature idea.
Where did that mysterious powerhouse who suddenly appeared in the Yuan Kun Domain twenty years ago and attacked the five strongest forces go?
That person possessed the True Immortal soldiers, which are currently ranked first in the Yuan Kun Domain. If we can contact that mysterious powerhouse and make use of them, perhaps we can use a borrowed knife to kill.
Whether it's Han Li's death, the death of the mysterious powerhouse, or both parties being injured, it's what the White Emperor wants to see.
He hasn't forgotten that he was injured by that mysterious powerhouse back then.
However, that mysterious powerhouse disappeared more than twenty years ago and has been untraceable. No one can find out where they went.
Just as the White Emperor's thoughts were in turmoil, a stunning figure suddenly appeared in the fairy palace. Her appearance was peerless, her figure was outstanding, and she was dressed in gorgeous fairy clothes.
Compared to the two great empresses, Empress Huang Yue and Empress Yuan Chu, she was only slightly inferior.
Seeing this figure, the White Emperor's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Shi Yin, do you have any news?"
Qin Shi Yin furrowed her eyebrows slightly and said lightly, "There is some news, but I don't know if it's true or false."
"Tell me," the White Emperor urged eagerly. He had just casually asked, but he didn't expect Qin Shi Yin to have a clue.
Qin Shi Yin didn't answer immediately. After a moment of silence, she said, "Do you keep your promise to me?"
"Of course," the White Emperor said without hesitation.
Qin Shi Yin looked deeply at the White Emperor, sighed, and finally said, "The core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman seems to have appeared in the Feng Hu Divine Continent."
The White Emperor's pupils contracted, excitement appearing on his face. He smiled and said, "Shi Yin, rest assured, when I obtain the core of the Creation Jade Talisman, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"I hope so," Qin Shi Yin said lightly.
With a thought, a fairy light silently flew out from the Tai Bai Immortal Realm and headed towards the Feng Hu Divine Continent.
Although the Feng Hu Divine Continent was about to be governed by the Cheng Sheng Mountain, for the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman, even if it hadn't been governed yet, the White Emperor would still make a trip.
Of course, it would be a secret trip, preferably finding the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman without causing any trouble.
For the past two years, he had been devoted to searching for clues about the True Immortal soldiers, with the main focus on the Creation Jade Talisman. Although the Creation Jade Talisman was only a Celestial Immortal soldier, it possessed the power comparable to the True Immortal soldiers.
Coincidentally, one of the empresses under his command had risen to power relying on a fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman. The White Emperor was well aware of this matter, but he hadn't paid much attention to it before.
Now, the White Emperor had asked Empress Qin Shi Yin to sense the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman. If she found any clues and handed over the fragment to him, the White Emperor promised to exchange it for a Celestial Immortal soldier and provide generous compensation.
With his strength and methods, it was possible for him to sense the other fragments one by one, even if it took a long time.
But for the prestigious Creation Jade Talisman, it was all worth it.
"Shi Yin, have you considered my previous proposal?"
After sending out his clone, Bai Di relaxed a bit and smiled at the Empress Qin Shiyin.
"I'll think about it again."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shiyin's eyes flickered, and she replied calmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Shiyin's figure disappeared from the fairy palace.
Bai Di frowned and a displeased expression appeared on his face, followed by a cold laugh.
Since giving up on the Empress Huang Yue, he had shifted his focus to the Empress of his own Heavenly Sovereign Realm, preparing to marry a companion.
Qin Shiyin was his target.
Although Qin Shiyin's physique didn't provide much help to him, far inferior to the Empress Huang Yue, it was better than nothing and still somewhat helpful.
However, Qin Shiyin did not agree to his proposal, which made Bai Di very unhappy.
The Empress Huang Yue and he were both Supreme Sovereigns, and her strength was slightly stronger than his. But what was Qin Shiyin?
Just an Empress of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm at the Second Heaven.
If it weren't for still needing Qin Shiyin and worrying about causing a negative impact, leading to dissent among the other Heavenly Sovereign Realm Emperors and quasi-emperors in Bai Di City, Bai Di would have forced her.
That was his final attempt just now. If Qin Shiyin still didn't agree, he wouldn't be blamed when he obtained the two pieces of the Creation Jade Talisman.
As long as he handled it well and didn't cause any disturbances, the outside world wouldn't know.
On a divine mountain in the western part of Tai Bai Divine Continent, there was a fairy palace, and deep within the palace, a figure was sitting cross-legged.
Suddenly, this figure opened her eyes. It was Qin Shiyin.
The one who had gone to Bai Di City earlier was just a clone she had condensed with her magical powers.
"It seems that the pressure from the Eternal Sovereign is too great for Bai Di."
Recalling Bai Di's previous state and recent actions, Empress Qin Shiyin whispered softly.
She had risen to power with one piece of the Creation Jade Talisman and had also thought about collecting all the fragments to recreate the talisman and become the new peerless Empress of the Yuan Kun Domain.
But it was too difficult.
Only the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman could vaguely sense the positions of all the talisman fragments. Qin Shiyin had no way to search for other fragments and had found no clues after searching for many years.
Two years ago, Bai Di found her and made a deal with her. Qin Shiyin didn't want to agree at first, but after careful consideration, she agreed.
She didn't have much hope originally, but recently her fragment of the talisman showed some unusual activity. Qin Shiyin immediately deduced and pointed to the Feng Hu Divine Continent, suspecting that the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman was there.
As for becoming Bai Di's companion, Qin Shiyin was unwilling in her heart.
If the White Emperor had chosen her from the beginning, she would have been acceptable, but the White Emperor only sought her after failing to pursue the Phoenix Moon Empress. This is treating her as a backup plan.
Qin Shiyin, after all, is a Heavenly Sovereign Realm Empress and can rank in the top ten on the Celestial Immortal List. Is she really that bad?
Qin Shiyin has her own pride, but when one is under someone else's roof, one must lower their head. She doesn't dare to explicitly reject the White Emperor, fearing that he will turn against her, so she plans to stall for time.
But after meeting the White Emperor today, Qin Shiyin immediately understood that she couldn't stall any longer.
She only has two choices.
The first is to agree to the White Emperor and become his Dao companion.
The second is to betray the White Emperor's city and find a new backer.
However, where should she go?
Qin Shiyin furrowed her eyebrows, and her Primordial Spirit flickered as countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
"How about going to the Chengsheng Mountain?"
Qin Shiyin's lips lightly opened as she voiced the boldest idea in her mind.
Originally, she wanted to wait until the transaction with the White Emperor was completed before making a decision, but plans couldn't keep up with changes, and the situation was urgent. She had to make a choice before the White Emperor retrieved the core of the Creation Jade Talisman.
Although the White Emperor's city has declined quite a bit, it is still a powerful force. Other powerful forces may not be willing to offend the White Emperor for her.
But the Immortal Sovereign of Chengsheng Mountain can.
After all, Chengsheng Mountain is the number one force in the Endless Yuankun Domain, and the current miserable state of the White Emperor's city is all thanks to the Immortal Sovereign of Chengsheng Mountain.
The Immortal Sovereign Han Li and the White Emperor are already mortal enemies, and the foundation of Chengsheng Mountain can overpower the White Emperor's city. Even if she defects to Chengsheng Mountain, the White Emperor won't be able to do anything to her.
However, it is not easy to make Han Li willingly protect her. The biggest bargaining chip is herself.
Since she has to choose a Dao companion, she naturally has to choose the best and strongest one.
Although Han Li's cultivation is slightly inferior, he is undoubtedly the best candidate for a Dao companion. The foundation of Chengsheng Mountain speaks for itself, and Han Li's background is not simple either. His future will definitely belong to him.
As far as Qin Shiyin knows, Han Li doesn't have a Heavenly Sovereign Realm Dao companion yet. If she actively joins him, she might be able to become the mistress of Chengsheng Mountain.
Qin Shiyin can clearly distinguish which is better between being the mistress of the number one force and being the mistress of the tenth force.
After much hesitation, Qin Shiyin finally made a decision and decided to go to Chengsheng Mountain.
Just relying on herself is not enough. Qin Shiyin also wants to send several great gifts to the future Dao companion of Chengsheng Mountain in order to secure her position.
The two fragments of the Creation Jade Talisman are just one of them.
Qianzhou, the Great Qian Dynasty.
Since Chengsheng Mountain and Han Li rose to prominence, the Great Qian Dynasty has also benefited greatly and has become much more prosperous than before.
Many cultivators from the surrounding thirty-six continents and even further continents would travel to the Great Qian Dynasty, casually creating opportunities that would cultivate many geniuses.
This is the territory covered by the Chengsheng Mountain, right under the nose of the Chengsheng Mountain, where no one dares to cause trouble.
At this moment, a painted boat sailed from the sky, entering the range of the Great Qian Dynasty and heading towards the Chengsheng Mountain.
There were two figures standing on the painted boat, a man with a heroic and extraordinary aura, and a woman with stunning beauty and exceptional grace. They exuded a powerful aura, unexpectedly both being Universal Truth Realm experts.
"Jiuzi, do you think the Supreme Eternal will meet us?"
The man with a heroic aura stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the boat, his tone tinged with a hint of nervousness.
"Brother, rest assured."
The woman with exceptional grace smiled and reassured him. Her gaze looked towards the towering Chengsheng Mountain, beginning to anticipate the meeting with the Supreme Eternal.
"Alright."
The man nodded slightly, his expression returning to calm. His gaze swept around and saw many painted boats, cloud boats, and sky ships, all of which carried many powerful cultivators, all heading towards the Chengsheng Mountain.
"It truly deserves to be the number one force in the newly rising Yuankun Domain," the man thought to himself.
He and his sister came from the distant Sun Dynasty with a mission, which was extremely important to him and must not fail.
Thinking of this, the man secretly glanced at his stunningly beautiful sister. If the mission was successfully completed, his sister wouldn't have to go back.
Soon, the painted boat sailed into the territory of the original state and headed towards the ethereal Chengsheng Mountain filled with immortal energy.
Seeing the sight of the Chengsheng Mountain, a look of shock flashed in the man's eyes as he murmured to himself, "What a grand gesture."
He saw that the terrain of the Chengsheng Mountain was extremely well-suited, with dragon veins undulating. Countless dragon veins converged to form a land of creation, with spiritual energy even more abundant than the Sun Dynasty.
"Indeed a grand gesture. It is said that the Chengsheng Mountain has also opened up a blessed land, created from over a hundred vast star regions, containing countless wonders and boundless opportunities," the woman with exceptional grace spoke up.
The two of them left the painted boat and arrived outside the gate of the Chengsheng Mountain, where they saw nine "guard dogs" lying at the foot of the mountain.
But if one looked closely, they would discover that these were all different species of white tigers, divided into nine types, each emitting the aura of quasi-emperors.
The two Universal Truth Realm experts from the Sun Dynasty were extremely shocked to see this scene, as this gesture was too grand.
Nine quasi-emperor level different species of white tigers guarding the gate!
If these white tigers were placed in other powerful forces, they would be treated as treasures and carefully nurtured. But in the Chengsheng Mountain, they were just nine "guard dogs."
For example, their Sun Dynasty did not have white tigers, but they had a different species comparable to white tigers, which was excellently taken care of by the Sun Supreme, nourished with countless heavenly treasures.
Not only them, but other cultivators who arrived at the gate of the Chengsheng Mountain were also shocked by this scene.
