Queen Mother of the West Becomes a Puppet
Western Kunlun Mountain.
At this moment, inside a palace, in a quiet room.
The Queen Mother of the West opened her eyes, and the light around her dissipated.
"Finally... my cultivation level has stabilized."
She felt the power within her body, "Primordial Origin Golden Immortal... Although it's a significant drop from my previous realm, this feeling... is much freer."
After returning from the Three Immortal Islands in the East Sea, the Queen Mother of the West has been in seclusion.
She entrusted all affairs of Yaochi to the Xuan Nü, while she focused wholeheartedly on rebuilding her cultivation.
Today, he has finally succeeded and stands firmly at the mid-stage of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm.
At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her heart.
"Back then, Dao Venerable Lin Tian concealed the secrets of heaven for me. If he doesn't see me become a saint for a long time, he might become suspicious. I must find a way to satisfy both sides. I absolutely cannot let him discover that I don't have the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi within me, otherwise..."
Based on her understanding of that Dao Ancestor, what awaits her is certainly not a good ending.
Just as the Queen Mother of the West was pondering a solution, a white light appeared in the quiet room!
The light was not ordinary celestial light, nor was it the light of the sun, moon, or stars. A figure appeared in the center of the quiet room.
"Who?"
The Queen Mother of the West felt a chill run down her spine, and when she saw the other person's face clearly, her pupils contracted!
"Hongjun... the Dao Ancestor?"
The person in front of me looks very young!
It can be vaguely discerned that it resembles Hongjun.
This... this is Dao Ancestor Hongjun?
Why has he become so young?
And this aura...
The Queen Mother of the West calmed down and quickly bowed respectfully. "Disciple Queen Mother of the West pays respects to the Dao Ancestor."
Heavenly Dao held a whisk, his face expressionless, and looked at the Queen Mother of the West.
"Queen Mother of the West."
The Heavenly Dao spoke, its voice cold, "Back then, I bestowed upon you the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi, granting you the opportunity to attain the Dao, and helping you achieve the Human Way, so that you may enjoy boundless freedom."
"Why... even now, have you still failed to truly attain enlightenment and become Heavenly Dao Saint?"
The Queen Mother of the West's heart skipped a beat; she knew in her heart that they had arrived.
She sighed and said with shame, "Reporting to Dao Ancestor, this disciple... this disciple is foolish and dull, and has failed to live up to Dao Ancestor's high expectations. That Primordial Chaos Purple Qi is profound and unfathomable, containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. This disciple has been trying to comprehend it day and night, pondering Meditation, but alas, my talent is dull and my comprehension is limited, and I have never been able to grasp the method. I am truly... truly ashamed of Dao Ancestor and have disappointed Dao Ancestor."
"That Primordial Chaos Purple Qi countless innate gods, demons, and powerful cultivators throughout Primordial Wilderness primordial world have dreamed of but could never obtain."
Heavenly Dao's will remains firmly fixed on her.
"Remember, ponder this carefully, and do not disappoint my expectations."
"Yes, disciple will obey the Dao Ancestor's decree! I will do my utmost to live up to the Dao Ancestor's expectations!"
The Queen Mother of the West quickly agreed, feeling a slight sense of relief. Fortunately, the Dao Ancestor hadn't noticed, and she had managed to get away with it for the time being.
Sudden.
"Buzz!"
Heavenly Dao a flick of his whisk, a powerful force struck her!
"Ah!"
Before the Queen Mother of the West could react, she was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the hard jade wall behind the meditation room!
The Queen Mother of the West opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of pale golden blood. Her aura instantly weakened, and her face turned deathly pale.
"Dao Ancestor... what... what do you mean by this?!"
The Queen Mother of the West looked at Hongjun, puzzled.
She never expected that the other party would act so suddenly and attack her directly!
The Heavenly Dao Dao's eyes were cold, filled with killing intent. "Your cultivation... why has it dropped so much?"
His actions just now were to test the Queen Mother of the West Queen Mother of the West; he had a feeling that something was off about her.
"Disciple... Disciple's cultivation encountered a slight mishap, but is currently adjusting and is otherwise fine..."
The Queen Mother of the West quickly explained and tried to struggle to get up.
"Shut up."
The Heavenly Dao coldly uttered two words, while simultaneously raising its left hand and giving a distant grasp to the Queen Mother of the West!
"Buzz-!"
The Queen Mother of the West's body suddenly floated in mid-air, unable to move.
"Let me see... what exactly is happening inside your body."
Heavenly Dao didn't believe it at all and investigated directly!
"No... Dao Ancestor! Stop!"
The Queen Mother of the West panicked and tried to struggle, but it was no use!
A moment later, Heavenly Dao's expression turned completely gloomy.
Why has your Primordial Chaos Purple Qi disappeared?
Then, something occurred to him. "You... went to see Lin Tian? He's the one who took it out for you?"
The Queen Mother of the West knew that everything could no longer be kept secret.
She raised her head, looked at Hongjun, and said, "That's right! It was I who begged Dao Venerable Lin Tian to retrieve that damned Primordial Chaos Purple Qi! What Heavenly Dao Blessing? What Opportunity to Prove the Dao? It's nothing but a shackle you used to control me and make me work for you!"
"I, the Queen Mother of the West, would rather perish than be your puppet! Dao Ancestor? Ha... To me... he's nothing but a despicable person who enslaves all living beings with rules!"
"Good... very good!"
The Heavenly Dao, enraged to the point of despair, laughed coldly. "You all choose to betray me? Do you really think I'm easy to bully? A mere ant dares to defy my will?!"
"Since that's the case, I will refine you into the most loyal puppet! Before me, you have no right to refuse! This... is the fate of a traitor!"
Before he finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao's left hand erupted with dazzling Purple Light, which all entered the body of the Queen Mother of the West.
"Ah!!!"
The Queen Mother of the West let out a miserable scream. She wanted to resist and even self-destruct her primordial spirit, but under the absolute power of the Heavenly Dao, she was powerless to resist!
Her consciousness began to fade little by little, and the expression on her face gradually returned to calm. She stood there, motionless.
Heavenly Dao slowly released its grip.
After a moment, the Queen Mother of the West opened her eyes. She slowly turned her neck, her movements stiff, and looked at the Heavenly Dao kneeling on one knee, bowing her head, and said:
"Greetings, Master."
The Heavenly Dao nodded. "There's no need to call me master. Just address me as Dao Ancestor."
"Yes, Dao Ancestor."
The Queen Mother of the West stood up, her tone unchanged, only now slightly more rigid.
With a single point of the Heavenly Dao, a wisp of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi appeared and slowly entered the space between the brows of the Queen Mother of the West.
"Refine this Primordial Chaos Purple Qi carefully."
Heavenly Dao was very satisfied with its masterpiece.
"Understood, Dao Ancestor."
The Queen Mother of the West respectfully agreed.
"Um."
The Heavenly Dao said no more, and its form vanished into the quiet room.
A moment later.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Are you alright?!"
Hurried footsteps and shouts could be heard coming from outside the quiet room.
Xuan Nü arrived hastily with a team of female guards.
They had just sensed a violent energy fluctuation and a scream coming from the direction of the quiet room.
Then, the door to the quiet room opened.
The Queen Mother of the West appeared at the doorway, expressionless, and looked at them.
"Your Majesty!"
Upon seeing this, the Xuan Nü quickly bowed, "Just now we sensed something unusual here, like screams... You..."
"No problem."
The Queen Mother of the West interrupted the Xuan Nü Maiden, her voice calm, "It was just a momentary lapse in concentration during cultivation, a slight mishap that disrupted my magical power. It's nothing serious now, so there's no need for you to panic. Please disperse and don't disturb my peace."
Having said that, she gave Xuan Nü no further chance to ask questions, turned around, walked back to the quiet room, and closed the door.
Xuan Nü stood there, stunned, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Her Majesty... she seems a bit strange?"
What exactly happened?
Is Her Majesty... really alright?
Since the Empress had ordered them to disperse, she dared not force her way in.
Let's go.
Xuan Nü finally waved her hand helplessly, signaling the female guards to leave. She couldn't help but look back one last time, her eyes filled with worry.
Inside a quiet room.
With a stiff expression, the Queen Mother of the West went to the jade bed and began to refine the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi.
