I Am King Zhou, Human Emperor!

"Before long, both my cultivation and the Luck Torch will undergo a qualitative leap. I wonder if I'll be able to open the Second Layer!"

If the Luck Torch underwent a transformation, he would gain another chance to draw a Myriad Heavens Treasure.

If he could open the Second Layer of the Hall of Heroes of the Human Emperors, he would receive a new Human Emperor inheritance.

Either outcome would be of immense help to him, so naturally, he was greatly looking forward to it.

After Morning Court, he headed toward his bedchamber as usual and soon spotted a familiar figure.

Ever since the last time she had fainted, Su Daji had not appeared before him for quite some time.

He had thought Su Daji was afraid, but now it seemed that she had merely been painstakingly devising a countermeasure.

Just like now, there was not merely one Su Daji standing before him.

Besides Su Daji, there were two other women, both graceful and stunningly beautiful.

What? Did she think one person could not seduce him, so she had brought three at once?

Su Daji was already dazzlingly alluring. The two women beside her were no less beautiful, and they were equally seductive.

The three women did not need to say or do anything. Simply standing there, they were already the most beautiful sight in the world.

As they approached him, even Zi Shou, who had endured many trials, found his gaze firmly drawn to them.

"Your Majesty, these are my two sisters. They specially entered the palace this time to visit me," Su Daji said.

Although this was the Inner Palace, it was perfectly normal for a consort's relatives to visit as long as they reported in advance.

Zi Shou nodded. The moment he saw the three women, he had already become secretly vigilant.

With only a little thought, he knew that, barring surprises, these three women were the Xuanyuan Tomb Three Demons.

After he had desecrated the Nüwa Temple, Goddess Nüwa had summoned the Xuanyuan Tomb Three Demons with the Demon-Summoning Banner.

These three demons had all cultivated for more than a thousand years. They were the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit, and the Jade-Faced Pipa Spirit.

The Nine-Tailed Fox had acted first, possessing Su Daji and taking the opportunity to enter the Inner Palace.

Although the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit and the Jade-Faced Pipa Spirit had not entered the palace, they were likely waiting for an opportunity near Chaoge City.

Now, it seemed Su Daji was unwilling to accept her previous failure, which was why this scene had come about.

One person could not seduce him, so the three demons were preparing to join forces and seduce him together.

At this moment, the three demons stood before him. Though they were not deliberately striking seductive poses, every smile and frown overflowed with charm.

This time was not as severe as last time, but he still felt as if he were gradually losing control.

"Hmph! With the three of us sisters working together, I refuse to believe we can't take you down! It's a pity the Desire Spirit Flower is gone, or this would be even more certain!" Su Daji thought to herself.

After her last failure, she had pondered for a long time in order to ensure nothing could go wrong, finally creating the current situation.

It was naturally easy to bring the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit and the Jade-Faced Pipa Spirit into the palace, but the key was how to seduce King Zhou.

Fortunately, after the three demons discussed it several times, they finally came up with a method.

The three of them had cultivated together in Xuanyuan Tomb for many years and had long been of one mind, fully capable of joining forces to use their methods.

It was neither a Dao technique nor an attempt to harm King Zhou. They simply intended to display their seductive charm to its utmost limit.

The Nine-Tailed Fox had been born with peerless charm and was already unrivaled in the world. With the three demons joining forces now, their power of seduction had increased by far more than tenfold.

Perfect. I'll use you three demons to test the results of my cultivation these past days! Zi Shou thought to himself.

The fact that his soul had not drifted away and left him unable to control his body made him breathe a small sigh of relief.

With a thought, the Bodhi Ancient Tree began to sway gently. Strands of Dao aura spread out, clearing his mind.

The sound of bells rang out—clang, clang, clang—as supreme divine might spread forth and the Wushi Bell suppressed his soul.

When he looked at the three demons again, they were still breathtakingly beautiful and brimming with seductive charm, but he no longer felt the slightest impulse.

This proved that his efforts during this period had not been wasted. He had already gained a certain resistance to the Nine-Tailed Fox's seduction.

With that, he was no longer as wary as before. Instead, he took the initiative to approach the three Yao Race women.

Su Daji and the other two demons were secretly delighted. In their eyes, King Zhou had clearly fallen for their trap.

The three demons were invigorated and worked even harder, intending to completely take down King Zhou in one stroke.

His soul remained clear at all times. Zi Shou finally set his mind at ease and began admiring the three demons with an artistic eye.

He welcomed their seduction without refusal, but at most he only took a little advantage with his hands, making no further moves.

Gradually, the three demons sensed that something was wrong. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.

Things had already reached this point. Logically, everything should have proceeded naturally, so why had King Zhou not taken things further?

Su Daji grew anxious. If she still could not take down King Zhou like this, she truly would not know what to do.

If she failed to complete the task Goddess Nüwa had given her, she feared death would not be far away.

Gritting her teeth, Su Daji could no longer care about anything else and directly began to loosen her garments.

Without question, although this was the most direct method, it was also the most lowly one.

As the queen of the fox clan, she could make men unable to resist with a single glance. Why would she ever need such methods?

But repeated failures had long shattered the Nine-Tailed Fox's pride. In order to take down King Zhou, how could she still care about her dignity?

Though the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit and the Jade-Faced Pipa Spirit were surprised, they quickly followed her example and began loosening their garments as well.

This left Zi Shou somewhat dumbfounded. He had only intended to toy with the three demons.

After all, Su Daji had "coincidentally" encountered him several times, and last time, he had nearly fallen for her trick.

Now that he had finally gained the upper hand, he naturally wanted to collect a little interest.

But now the three demons had begun loosening their garments right in front of him. What was this supposed to be?

After making things worse through his own cleverness, he became flustered. The three demons, however, had no intention of letting him go and immediately wrapped themselves around him.

Women truly were made of water. The three demons were not only tender as water, but also extraordinarily difficult to deal with. For a time, he could not break free.

With their bodies pressed close and their hair brushing against his ears, he had no choice but to risk exposing his strength and prepare to shake off the three demons' entanglement.

Just then, someone came to report something, but upon seeing the fragrant and suggestive scene before him, stopped in his tracks.

"What is it?" Zi Shou was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

This person had arrived at exactly the right time. Just a little later, and he would have been forced to reveal his strength.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shang Rong requests an audience and is waiting outside the palace!" the man answered with his head lowered.

"Let him enter!" Zi Shou said.

He had never thought much of Shang Rong, but upon hearing that Shang Rong was requesting an audience, he wished Shang Rong could appear before him immediately.

Su Daji and the other two demons grew anxious, but with things having come to this, they could only sigh helplessly.

They had been so close. All three demons believed that if they had just a little more time, King Zhou would surely submit obediently.

Now that they had been interrupted, finding another such opportunity would likely be exceedingly difficult.

Fortunately, this experience gave the three demons a measure of confidence. They felt they still had a chance to succeed.

With that thought, the three demons each straightened their clothes. Rather than taking their leave, they seemed prepared to wait until King Zhou had finished receiving Shang Rong.

Zi Shou grew secretly wary. Judging by their behavior, were the three demons planning to take him down in one push?

As he considered his options, Shang Rong entered from outside the palace.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Yun Zhongzi, a Qi Cultivator from Zhongnan Mountain, has an urgent matter to discuss with Your Majesty. I ask that Your Majesty grant him permission," Shang Rong said.

Zi Shou was slightly stunned. Yun Zhongzi of Zhongnan Mountain? Wasn't he the Blessed Golden Immortal of the Exposition Sect?

He had come specifically to see him? And with an urgent matter?

Very quickly, Zi Shou remembered that this had indeed happened in the original story.

"Let him enter!" Zi Shou said.

If he remembered correctly, Yun Zhongzi had come before King Zhou in the original story to eliminate demons.

The Xuanyuan Tomb Three Demons were right before him. Today, he wanted to see how Yun Zhongzi would slay demons.

Not long after, a Daoist holding a dust whisk slowly entered from outside the palace.

Zi Shou examined him carefully. The Daoist seemed detached from the mortal world and indeed carried an extraordinary bearing, every bit the appearance of an enlightened master.

"This humble Daoist, Yun Zhongzi, greets Your Majesty!"

Yun Zhongzi drifted over and, upon seeing King Zhou, merely made a simple Daoist salute.

Zi Shou understood clearly that neither Taibai Jinxing in the past nor Yun Zhongzi before him had likely ever truly regarded him highly.

Though he was the current Human Sovereign of the human race, in Yun Zhongzi's eyes, he was merely a mortal with only a hundred years of lifespan.

As a Golden Immortal, he had long transcended the Three Realms, existed beyond the Five Elements, and escaped the cycle of life and death. Why would he truly care about a mortal?
