Chapter 85 The Queen's Sense of Crisis
After confirming that the powerful individual who decisively eliminated the Quasi-Emperor, slew the Imperial Prince, and lavishly spent hundreds of billions of Spirit Stones to purchase all ten supreme treasures was the same young Emperor she had rejected at Qingteng Sect that day, Lin Ruoxue's intestines were twisted with regret.
It was no exaggeration to say she regretted it so much her insides turned green.
She wished she could Transmigrate back in time right now and slap her past self, who had intended to reject Chen Qing, scolding her not to do something so foolish, for this was the greatest Opportunity of her life!
After pondering for a moment, Lin Ruoxue suddenly looked up at Chen Qing, her gaze much firmer than before, as if she had made some kind of decision.
"Master, Disciple will go over there." With that, Lin Ruoxue moved and walked towards Chen Qing.
She gave Lü Lan no chance to react.
During this time, Lin Ruoxue's attention was entirely on Chen Qing; she didn't even glance at Xia Qingyue, who was standing beside him.
Xia Qingyue, on the other hand, watched Lin Ruoxue approach, her eyes fixed on her without wavering.
From Lin Ruoxue's eyes, Xia Qingyue saw undisguised desire!
Her worst fear had come true.
In a flash, Lin Ruoxue had arrived before Chen Qing, and with a seductive posture, she said, "Young Master Chen, this humble one is willing to offer her body and Dual Cultivate with Young Master to assist Young Master in his Cultivation; please accept me!"
Lin Ruoxue's current appearance was completely different from a few days ago when she had resolutely refused to be Chen Qing's Dual Cultivation Cauldron.
Rather than a Saintess of a sect, in Xia Qingyue's eyes, Lin Ruoxue now resembled a courtesan soliciting customers outside a brothel.
This further emphasized the influence of the phrase "strength is respected" in Xia Qingyue's mind.
At the same time, a sense of unease swept through Xia Qingyue's mind and body.
She was genuinely worried that Chen Qing might not be able to resist Lin Ruoxue's seductive charm and would agree.
Although having three wives and four concubines was perfectly normal in this era, how many women could truly willingly share their husband with others?
Even if Xia Qingyue said she didn't mind, deep down, she would still harbor some resentment.
However, Chen Qing's next words immediately calmed Xia Qingyue's anxious heart, "Young Miss Lin, I appreciate your kindness, but I, Chen Qing, will only love one person in this life and will never betray my wife."
[Successful Wife-Pampering! Congratulations, Host, you have received a random reward: longevity fruit +100!]
"I don't ask for Young Master's love; even if you use me as a tool, it's fine, as long as you keep me by your side."
Use me as a tool… it's fine…
Lin Ruoxue's words not only astonished Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue but even her Master, Lü Lan, had never expected to hear such words from Lin Ruoxue's mouth one day.
To cling to Chen Qing, this mighty tree, she was willing to debase herself to such an extent.
"No need," Chen Qing's attitude was resolute.
"Neither my heart nor my body will betray my wife." Chen Qing said this while looking at Xia Qingyue.
"Husband…" Ripples appeared in Xia Qingyue's eyes, and her profound emotion was clearly written on her face.
[Successful Wife-Pampering! Congratulations, Host, you have received a random reward: Comprehension Ability +500!]
"Wife, let's return to Great Wu." Chen Qing took Xia Qingyue's hand, deciding to ignore Lin Ruoxue and leave Tianji Auction City.
"Okay," Xia Qingyue agreed, her fingers tightly intertwined with Chen Qing's.
At this moment, Xia Qingyue felt incredibly fortunate to be united with Chen Qing.
She felt it was time for her to make a decision!
She couldn't just focus on how to improve her strength; some matters should be considered sooner rather than later.
Xia Qingyue was certain that given her husband's charm, people like Lin Ruoxue would definitely not be the last!
In the future, as Chen Qing's invincible name spread far and wide, there would only be more and more excellent admirers than Lin Ruoxue.
In Xia Qingyue's view, if she wanted to exclusively possess Chen Qing, she must first exclusively possess his heart, and… his body.
Xia Qingyue didn't believe she had enough trump cards to continuously keep Chen Qing interested.
No matter how strong the effect of love at first sight, if there was no return, there would always be a day when it faded…
"Young Master…" Watching the two depart, Lin Ruoxue bit her lip, still unwilling to give up.
She even had the impulsive thought of consummating their relationship with Chen Qing right then and there.
However, before she could act, her Master, Lü Lan, took a step sideways, blocking her path, "Enough, stop here."
"Master, why are you preventing your Disciple from pursuing happiness?" Lin Ruoxue was confused.
"Are you sure you are pursuing happiness and not courting death?" Lü Lan reminded Lin Ruoxue not to bring trouble upon herself.
"Master, I…" Lin Ruoxue certainly understood the reasoning, but she just couldn't let go.
Such a perfect Dao Companion candidate was right in front of her, within reach, yet she couldn't grasp him.
"Give up; you two are destined to have a connection but no fate." Lü Lan raised her hand and gently patted Lin Ruoxue's shoulder a few times.
Immediately, a strong sense of grievance spread from her heart, and Lin Ruoxue collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down like a broken dam, "Why, why does heaven treat me this way, letting me meet him but unable to be with him for life…"
Listening to Lin Ruoxue's hysterical cries from behind, Xia Qingyue's lips curved slightly upwards rather than feeling sympathy, feeling fortunate that she and Chen Qing had both a connection and a fate!
While lost in thought, the two had already walked out of Tianji Auction City.
When Chen Qing was about to ask Xia Qingyue if she wanted to continue strolling in Tianlong City or directly open a spatial teleportation gate to return to the Great Wu Dynasty, a hurried footsteps came from behind, "Sir, wait! Sir, wait!"
Chen Qing found the voice unfamiliar; he hadn't heard it before.
Turning his head, the person had already stopped in front of him, panting heavily, and said disjointedly, "Sir, wait…"
"Who are you?" Chen Qing proactively asked about the other party's identity.
"Replying to Sir, this humble one is the City Lord of Tianlong City, Lin Tianlong." The newcomer introduced himself.
"May I ask why City Lord is looking for me?" Chen Qing asked directly.
"Reporting to Sir, the city gate guards have sent news that the White Tiger and Black Tortoise nations have learned that you killed their Imperial Prince and a Quasi-Emperor expert, and have dispatched over a million elite soldiers to surround Tianlong City, coming to demand an explanation from you," Lin Tianlong truthfully said.
"Demand an explanation from me?" Chen Qing chuckled, "I haven't gone to them to demand an explanation, and they've come to me instead!"
"Sir, this humble one is willing to serve you diligently, go through fire and water, and force back the White Tiger and Black Tortoise nations." At this moment, Zhao Tong, the Quasi-Emperor expert from Tianlong City, appeared out of thin air before Lin Tianlong.
Neither of them wanted to miss this Opportunity to befriend a Peak Quasi-Emperor.
They were certain that if they could form a connection with Chen Qing through this matter, it would be greatly beneficial for their future.
"No need; this Emperor will handle his own affairs. I won't trouble you two."
Chen Qing was just worrying about not having enough Qi and blood to light up the last Dao star.
Now, Qi and blood were actively being delivered to his doorstep!
***
Chapter 86: Hundred Miles of Ice
Chen Qing, with a single thought, opened a teleportation gate and asked Xia Qingyue, "Madam, do you want to test your current strength?"
"Yes! Of course, I do!" Xia Qingyue immediately understood what Chen Qing wanted to express and nodded heavily.
This was a good opportunity to draw closer to Chen Qing.
Killing those who wished harm upon her husband, how could that not be a way to draw closer?
"Then let's go." Chen Qing continued to hold Xia Qingyue's hand, stepping into the teleportation gate with her.
When their figures completely vanished inside, the teleportation gate dissipated.
"My Lord, was this teleportation gate opened by a Magic Treasure?" Lin Tianlong seized the opportunity to ask.
Before Grand Emperor Zhao Tong could answer, Lin Tianlong added, "If that's truly the case, why did I never see that Lord take out any Magic Treasure from beginning to end?"
"To achieve such a feat with just a thought, there are only two possibilities: either he is a Great Emperor, or he possesses the Space-Time Sacred Body!" Zhao Tong gave his judgment.
He also hadn't noticed Chen Qing using any Magic Treasure.
"The Great Emperor has not fallen, so it seems that Lord must have awakened the Space-Time Sacred Body." Lin Tianlong analyzed logically.
Little did he know, Chen Qing possessed both.
"Heavens! Young in age, not only has he entered the Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm, but he also possesses the Space-Time Sacred Body, ranked sixth among the Supreme Saint Bodies. He truly is the most likely existence to become the new Great Emperor in the future!" As Lin Tianlong spoke, his eyes were filled with reverence.
"Let's go, we'll follow and see if we can help in any way, to make that Lord notice us more." Zhao Tong suggested.
Even as a Quasi-Emperor, facing a Prodigy like Chen Qing, he still had to lower his head and try every means to please him.
"Yes!" Lin Tianlong agreed, and with Zhao Tong, they quickly headed towards the city gate, one after the other…
Meanwhile, Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue had already emerged from the teleportation gate.
Standing on the city wall, they couldn't see the end of the million-strong armored army, a vast, dark expanse that their eyes couldn't fully encompass.
The army's murderous aura, combined with the endless yellow sand, created an immense sense of oppression.
"Madam, just make your move. Your husband will assist you from the side." As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qing took out the Seven Stars Saber from his System backpack. With a thought, one saber transformed into six.
'My husband also has Mind Master talent!'
A few days ago, Xia Qingyue would have been even more surprised.
But now, she felt like she was used to it.
No matter how many peerless talents Chen Qing possessed, it wasn't surprising; instead, it seemed only natural.
"Thank you, husband. Then I'm going." Xia Qingyue took a graceful step and flew down directly from the city wall, which was over ten meters high.
"What is your relationship with the one who killed my son?" Xiao Tianjun, the Emperor of White Tiger Country, clad in battle armor, questioned with his sword.
"I am his wife." Xia Qingyue replied without hesitation, proudly.
"Wife?" Xiao Tianjun chuckled coldly, his gaze turning chillingly towards Chen Qing on the city wall. "Good! You killed my son, so I will kill your beloved in front of you!"
"Whoever can cut off this woman's head, I shall bestow upon him official titles and ranks!" Xiao Tianjun knew well the principle that under heavy reward, there must be brave men.
With such a rare opportunity to ascend to greatness, dozens of people instantly formed a small team, riding warhorses, and charged towards Xia Qingyue.
Facing the thundering hooves, Xia Qingyue's face remained calm. She took out the Primordial Azure Sky Sword, released spiritual power from her palm, and a layer of frost enveloped the sword.
Then, she unleashed a clean and decisive sword strike.
The crescent-shaped Sword Qi instantly pierced through dozens of people, turning their Physical Bodies, along with their warhorses, into ice sculptures!
As a Cultivator, Xiao Tianjun clearly sensed that those dozens of soldiers had all perished the moment they were frozen.
He realized that not only their exteriors were frozen, but also their blood and internal organs!
"What a vicious method! You and he are indeed a match!" Xiao Tianjun glanced back. "Why are you still standing there! Kill for me! Whoever can harm this woman will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"
He chose to lower the reward standard to stimulate more people to join the army against Xia Qingyue.
Facing the pressure brought by the Sacred Edict and the temptation of high rewards, the vast army finally took action, rushing towards Xia Qingyue like a torrent.
Xia Qingyue raised her long sword to the sky, transforming her fierce Sword Qi into ice lotuses the size of a fist, which then instantly grew to several zhang, ten zhang, and dozens of zhang!
The next moment, the sword fell, and the ice lotus plummeted, crashing into the million-strong army.
A cold Qi storm surged wildly, freezing everything in its path!
Lin Tianlong and Zhao Tong, who arrived a step later, happened to witness the terrifying scene of the million-strong army and the hundred-li ice seal.
They had only known before that Chen Qing's talent was unparalleled, but they hadn't expected that his woman also possessed terrifying strength and decisive killing intent!
"What a terrifying cold wave!" Zhao Tong exclaimed.
"..." Lin Tianlong, however, stood frozen in place, unable to utter a single word.
His strength was higher than Xia Qingyue's, so he could tell at a glance that Xia Qingyue had Spirit Division Realm cultivation.
However, looking back, Lin Tianlong had never seen any Spirit Division Realm Cultivator as powerful as Xia Qingyue.
Not only did Lin Tianlong not expect it, but Xiao Tianjun also hadn't anticipated that with a single move, Xia Qingyue would completely annihilate the million-strong army he had brought.
"This, this is you forcing me!" Rage completely consumed Xiao Tianjun, and the flames of revenge burned even more fiercely.
He took out a jade seal from his spatial ring.
This jade seal was different from ordinary ones carved with Sacred Dragons; it was carved with a lifelike fierce tiger.
"He is summoning the Sacred Beast White Tiger with the national destiny!" Zhao Tong gradually understood everything.
Immediately, the entire White Tiger Country's national destiny transformed into a dazzling golden hundred-zhang giant tiger phantom.
As it roared, the earth trembled, and the city wall seemed unable to bear the pressure, showing signs of collapse.
Chen Qing glanced at the White Tiger phantom. Supported by the national destiny, its cultivation forcefully reached fifty thousand years!
He then looked at Xia Qingyue below the city wall. That previous strike seemed to have consumed a considerable amount of her spiritual power. At this moment, her thin lips were slightly parted, and her breathing was a little rapid.
Relying solely on Spirit Division Realm cultivation to directly contend with this fifty-thousand-year cultivation Sacred Beast White Tiger was still too difficult.
Chen Qing didn't want Xia Qingyue to put herself in danger.
With a graceful leap, he landed lightly beside Xia Qingyue, embracing her waist, letting her lean against him.
"Husband?"
"You've done very well. Leave the rest to your husband." Chen Qing smiled slightly.
Xia Qingyue nodded, not trying to be strong.
"Leave it to you?" Xiao Tianjun gave a cold laugh. "Today, both of you shall die here! To be buried with my White Tiger Country's million soldiers, and with my son!"
"Kill!" Xiao Tianjun, using the White Tiger Jade Seal in his hand, controlled the Sacred Beast White Tiger to stride and attack Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue.
His smile was confident and ferocious, as if he had already seen the bloody scene of Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue being brutally killed by the Sacred Beast White Tiger.
Facing the rapidly approaching, massive Vicious Beast, which swung its tiger claws.
Chen Qing also raised his hand and gently waved it.
The next moment, the tiger's body dissipated like smoke, and the jade seal shattered.
***
Chapter 87 Meeting the Emperor
As a nation-guarding Divine Artifact, this White Tiger remnant soul was similar to the Dragon Soul from the Azure Dragon Country before; both were wisps of remnant souls left behind by Sacred Beasts from ancient times, and they were also the origin and foundation of the four countries: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
As a nation-guarding Divine Artifact, even as a remnant soul, its power should not be underestimated.
However, this power was not strong enough in front of Chen Qing, who was a Supreme Emperor; it did not even deserve the word "strong."
"How, how could this be?" Xiao Tianjun was completely stunned, looking at the cracked imperial seal in his hand.
He shook his head and blinked rapidly, wanting to end the illusion.
But as soon as he opened his eyes again, the imperial seal in his hand had shattered into pieces, falling to the ground.
"The soul of a Sacred Beast, nurtured by national Luck for a thousand years, was actually destroyed so easily..." For Lin Tianlong, this was no longer a pleasant surprise, but a fright.
Feeling Lin Tianlong's gaze, Zhao Tong, a quasi-Emperor expert, shook his head, "Don't look at me, I can't do such a thing."
If he really had this ability, he would have long since gone alone to the White Tiger Country, seized the land, and become a king, why would he be confined to this small Tianlong City?
"As expected of my husband! So strong!" Xia Qingyue's gaze, as she looked at Chen Qing's back, was filled with adoration.
For her now, a powerful enemy that she could not defeat, Chen Qing could easily eradicate with a flick of his wrist. As fellow Cultivators, how could she not admire him?
"You! You..."
Chen Qing did not give Xiao Tianjun a chance to go hysterical. With a thought, an invisible force transformed into an unseen large hand, gripping his entire body and crushing him! His blood and flesh, along with his exploding corpse, splattered everywhere.
With the successive fall of the Sacred Beast and the Emperor, the White Tiger Country was completely a name in name only.
Chen Qing planned to have his father, Chen Xiong, send troops to annex the White Tiger Country's territory and incorporate it into Great Gan.
Rather than benefiting outsiders, it was better to benefit his own people.
Successfully pampered wife! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a random reward: Ten Times Cultivation Speed One-Day Experience Card + 10!
'Ten times Cultivation speed!'
The moment he saw this reward, Chen Qing immediately thought of the Hundred Times Cultivation Space and wondered if it could be used in conjunction with it.
If it really could be used in conjunction, wouldn't it directly become a thousand times Cultivation speed!
The System's answer to this was affirmative.
'Good, good, good, it seems my days of being a kept man are getting closer and closer.'
Chen Qing felt that if he continued to accumulate like this, it would not be impossible for Xia Qingyue to achieve the Dao of an Emperor in a single day.
"Husband, a large group of people is approaching this way again!" Xia Qingyue came to Chen Qing's side and reminded him.
Chen Qing closed the System panel, raised his gaze, and indeed, beyond the shattered ice on the ground, he could see a large mass of people, swarming towards them like a tide.
His eyes changed slightly, and Chen Qing's vision instantly stretched hundreds of meters, clearly seeing that the armor worn by those people was completely different from the previous White Tiger army; it was heavier and engraved with Black Tortoise patterns.
"Black Tortoise Country."
After learning the identity of the approaching people from Chen Qing, although Xia Qingyue's Qi had not recovered much, her eyes were resolute, and she was willing to draw her sword to face the million enemy troops with him!
Where her eyes could reach, her ears could naturally also reach.
Chen Qing locked onto the Black Tortoise Emperor, Su Zhao, who was inside the Dragon carriage.
"Old Ancestor, this child's strength is extraordinary. I originally intended to use the White Tiger Country to consume some of his spiritual power first, and then reap the benefits, but I didn't expect the people of the White Tiger Country to be slaughtered by him so easily."
Following closely after Su Zhao was the voice of an old man, "Since that's the case, why not recruit him into our Black Tortoise Country's command?"
"This child is so young and already possesses such strength; I'm afraid his ambition is higher than the heavens. It will be difficult to make him submit," Su Zhao expressed his concerns.
On the other hand, he also wanted to ask the Old Ancestor for a solution.
"First, entice him with benefits; if that doesn't work, then coerce him," the White Tiger Old Ancestor continued, "This is a Divine Object I accidentally obtained in a Secret Realm. Once the curse is successfully cast, the cursed person will be unable to betray for life, becoming a puppet!"
The two thought their plan was thorough, unaware that all of this was under Chen Qing's surveillance; their every word and action could not escape his scrutiny.
Since that was the case, what else was there to say?
The last Saber Star of the Seven Stars Saber was just short of some blood Qi to be fully unlocked and upgraded into a true Divine Artifact!
Chen Qing raised his hand, his five fingers half-clenched like a tiger's claw, and grabbed in the air.
He conjured several colorful zither strings out of thin air.
His fingertips plucked the zither strings.
As the zither music sounded, an invisible Saber immediately slashed out.
The vast army, along with the Emperor and Old Ancestor of the Black Tortoise Country, were all cut in half by this single Saber under the zither music!
Heads flew up in large numbers, and blood gushed out.
"Killing thousands of miles with a flick of the finger! This is something only a Supreme Zither Cultivator can do!" On the city wall, Zhao Tong, who witnessed all of this, could not hide his shock.
Killing thousands of miles with a flick of the finger!!
The facts were laid out before him, how could Lin Tianlong doubt?
Not only the million-strong army of the Black Tortoise Country, but even the two tall mountains behind them were largely cut down, collapsing with a rumble, stirring up a considerable amount of dust.
'My husband is also a Zither Cultivator! And a max-level Supreme Zither Cultivator!'
At this moment, after learning this, Xia Qingyue's adoration for Chen Qing was like a surging river, endless.
After slaughtering all the invaders from the Black Tortoise Country, Chen Qing released the Seven Stars Saber, absorbing every last bit of blood Qi, completely draining it, to light up the seventh Saber Star.
When the seventh Saber Star was lit, the Seven Stars Saber underwent a transformation, producing a qualitative change from within!
Powerful Saber Qi oppressed all directions!
Let alone Lin Tianlong, even a quasi-Emperor Realm Cultivator like Zhao Tong could not help but feel his body heavy and his knees sink.
After a long while, Zhao Tong managed to utter with difficulty, "This, this is the might of an Emperor Weapon! He, he actually possesses an Emperor Weapon!!"
'Emperor Weapon?'
Lin Tianlong just thought, this makes sense; if it were an ordinary Heaven Rank weapon, how could it have such astonishing might.
But the next second, he suddenly realized that something was not quite right.
No, it was more than just not quite right; it was very wrong.
If his memory served him correctly, Emperor Weapons were Heavenly Dao Divine Artifacts that only Great Emperors were qualified to wield.
Moreover, even if one truly Ascended to become a Great Emperor, whether they could Awaken a Heavenly Dao Emperor Weapon depended entirely on Luck, and it was not a hundred percent certainty.
'Isn't that Lord a Peak quasi-Emperor? Why would he possess a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact?'
Immediately after, a terrifying thought emerged from Lin Tianlong's mind, "Could it be?!"
His gaze instantly swiveled to Zhao Tong.
He was eager to confirm this point.
To his surprise, before he could even clearly see the expression on Zhao Tong's face, he witnessed him no longer resisting the Emperor Weapon's might, willingly falling to his knees with a thud.
He shouted loudly, "Zhao Tong was blind, greetings, Great Emperor!"
***
Chapter 88: Thousand Times the Speed of Cultivation
'He, he's really a Great Emperor?!'
Even if Lin Tianlong didn't trust Zhao Tong, he didn't believe he would joke about such a matter with him.
He was 100% certain that Chen Qing was a Great Emperor!
He didn't even bother to think about why a new Great Emperor had emerged when the old Great Emperor hadn't fallen yet.
In short, he would kneel first.
Following suit, he and Zhao Tong faced Chen Qing and knelt without hesitation, raising his voice: "Lin Tianlong was blind! Greetings, Great Emperor!"
He was afraid Chen Qing wouldn't hear him.
Facing a supreme expert of the Great Emperor Realm, merely not offending the other party was far from enough; one also had to make the other party fully feel their reverence.
Whether they bowed or not was their business; Chen Qing had no intention of responding.
He and Xia Qingyue, after dealing with the Black Tortoise and White Tiger Countries, stepped into the teleportation gate and disappeared from before Tianlong City.
But for Lin Tianlong and Zhao Tong, no response was the best response.
At least, their lives were saved.
"Phew..." It was a long time before the two of them, with trembling legs, crawled up from the ground.
Facing a Great Emperor for the first time, the oppressive force was a thousand, even ten thousand, times stronger than they had imagined!
"My Lord, the Heavenly Profound Great Emperor has not yet fallen, so why has a new Great Emperor been born? If I remember correctly, isn't there only one Great Emperor allowed in this world?" Lin Tianlong cast a questioning gaze at Zhao Tong, hoping he could clear his doubts.
"There are two possibilities."
"Which two?" Lin Tianlong eagerly pressed, wanting to know the answer.
"The first is that the Heavenly Profound Great Emperor has already fallen, but the news has not yet spread."
Lin Tianlong thought about it and felt that this possibility was extremely high.
"The second is that the power of that Lord is enough to break the restrictions brought by the Heavenly Dao order," Zhao Tong said, startling him.
"Powerful enough to break the Heavenly Dao restrictions..." Lin Tianlong's imagination was limited; he truly couldn't conceive what Realm one would have to reach to contend with the Heavenly Dao.
He couldn't imagine it, truly couldn't imagine it.
At the same time, compared to the latter, he was more inclined to believe the first possibility.
To verify the thoughts in his mind, he quickly dispatched people to inquire about matters concerning the Heavenly Profound Great Emperor...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue had already emerged from the teleportation gate and arrived in the Great Qian Country.
"Qing'er, Xia Qinyue, why have you come?" Upon learning of their arrival, Chen Xiong immediately put down everything he was doing and rushed over.
"Could it be that something happened to the Great Wu Dynasty?" Chen Xiong asked again.
Regardless of how things were before, Xia Cheng was his in-law after all, and if something truly happened to the Great Wu Dynasty, he naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing.
Chen Qing shook his head, "Father, you need not worry, the Great Wu Dynasty is perfectly fine. This time, your son has come to tell you that the foundations of the Black Tortoise and White Tiger Countries have been destroyed. Father, you can quickly send troops to conquer them."
"This..."
Chen Xiong certainly knew that his son was no longer the same as before, being peerless.
He just hadn't expected that he had just finished transforming the entire Azure Dragon Country, powerfully consolidating the hearts of the people, and the next moment, his son would deliver the lands of the White Tiger Country and the Black Tortoise Country to him.
He joked, "If this continues, I don't know how vast the territory of our Great Qian will become. You've given your old father a big problem."
"Anyway, aren't you, old man, fond of using your brain and playing politics? Your son is providing you with an opportunity," Chen Qing said playfully.
"Then I have to thank you?" Chen Xiong frowned.
"You're welcome." As soon as Chen Qing said this, Chen Xiong and Xia Qingyue exchanged glances and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Alright, I can't argue with you." Chen Xiong waved his hand.
He then called his personal guard, ordering him to lead the army and Shadow Puppets to the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Countries. Those who submitted would live; those who didn't would be killed without question, no need for further talk!
Afterward, Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue stopped disturbing Chen Xiong's governance of the world, opened a teleportation gate, and returned to the Great Wu Dynasty.
Chen Manor.
"Husband, you've worked hard. I'll go make you some tea." Xia Qingyue had just turned around, and before her foot could even take a step, Chen Qing grabbed her wrist.
"Husband?" Xia Qingyue looked puzzled.
"No rush, you come with me to a place first," Chen Qing said.
"Okay, wherever Husband wants me to go, I'll go!" Xia Qingyue now trusted Chen Qing 100%.
She didn't believe he would harm her, and she certainly didn't think there was anything she could do if Chen Qing really wanted to harm her.
After receiving Xia Qingyue's reply, Chen Qing tightly held her wrist. With a thought, they instantly arrived in another vast and boundless new world.
As far as the eye could see, there were endless green grasslands.
"Where is this?" Xia Qingyue was wondering, and the next moment, she showed a look of surprise, "Such, such terrifying Spiritual Qi! Just taking a breath, I can feel the Spiritual Power in my body increasing significantly!"
"This place is called the Hundredfold Cultivation Space." Chen Qing believed that with Xia Qingyue's intelligence, just the words "Hundredfold Cultivation Space" were enough for her to understand the mystery of this world.
"Hundredfold Cultivation Space!" Xia Qingyue suddenly understood, "No wonder there's such an exaggerated amount of Spiritual Qi!"
"You may Cultivate and Breakthrough here; I will guard you, my wife." Saying this, Chen Qing opened his System backpack, selected the Tenfold Cultivation Speed One-Day Experience Card, and overlaid it with the Hundredfold Space, increasing Xia Qingyue's Cultivation speed to a thousandfold!
At the same time, he also took out many Medicinal Pills for Xia Qingyue to use freely.
"Okay, I will Breakthrough with all my might! I will not disappoint Husband!" Xia Qingyue sat down cross-legged as Chen Qing instructed.
"How about attaining the Great Emperor Realm in one day?" Chen Qing set a small goal for Xia Qingyue.
"Attain... the Great Emperor Realm in one day??" Xia Qingyue found it hard not to suspect that Chen Qing was joking with her.
But his expression looked so serious.
"Alright! I'll try my best!" Xia Qingyue believed that since Chen Qing said so, he must have his reasons, and she was willing to trust him.
In any case, she would give it her all. If she didn't try, how would she know she couldn't do it?
After speaking, Xia Qingyue frantically absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Qi and began to refine Spiritual Power.
Under the blessing of a thousandfold Cultivation speed, in just a moment, she Broke through to the second layer of the Spirit Division Realm!
The speed was so fast that it startled even herself.
She suddenly felt that attaining the Great Emperor Realm in one day was not impossible!
She continued to Cultivate...
Her Cultivation Realm instantly Broke through the second, third, fourth, and fifth layers of the Spirit Division Realm...
Then she reached the Body Integration Realm! The Great Tribulation Realm...
And continued to ascend.
During this period, Chen Qing also assisted from the side, inscribing a Spirit Gathering Formation. On top of the thousandfold Cultivation speed, he continued to increase Xia Qingyue's Realm advancement speed.
His identity as a max-level Formation Master played a crucial role at this moment!
Time passed by little by little like this.
Xia Qingyue's current Cultivation Realm had already reached the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor.
"Husband, I, I'm about to assault the Great Emperor Realm!" Xia Qingyue opened her eyes and said with some concern.
