It was just that her temperament was rather cold and aloof; even if she were worried inside, she would never speak of it.
Because compared to speaking, she preferred to take action!
Therefore, she directly purchased a Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card, preparing to head to the Douluo world where Qian Xunji was to see what was going on.
As for where she got the points to purchase the Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card?
Well, she had casually uploaded a few cultivation techniques she didn't care for, and obtained tens of thousands of points.
However, before she could even use the Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card, Qian Xunji came online.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to put the Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card away.
After all, forcibly entering someone else's world without notifying the owner was not a very friendly gesture.
Previously, she could have claimed it was out of concern for Qian Xunji's safety, but now that Qian Xunji was already online, insisting on entering would be, more or less, going a bit too far.
Because of the inexplicable fondness in her heart, she did not want Qian Xunji to mistake her for someone who didn't understand social graces.
Seeing that the Ruthless Empress had no intention of taking credit, Qian Xunji was not surprised; after all, in his impression, the Ruthless Empress was a very cold and aloof woman, like a flower on a high mountain.
However, he had ultimately gotten the better end of the deal with the Ruthless Empress—not only did he obtain the promised holy medicine for healing, but it was a double portion, a large one at that. Not only that, but he also received the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art, an imperial scripture, as a bonus.
It could be said that it was not the Ruthless Empress who owed him now, but rather he who owed the Ruthless Empress!
Therefore, he still had to express his gratitude to the Ruthless Empress.
What's more, he had now inherited the Ruthless Empress's legacy, the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art.
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Regardless, thank you, fellow Daoist Empress. No, perhaps I should address you as Master now?"
Well, having a master as brilliant and peerless as the Ruthless Empress would be quite nice.
Seeing Qian Xunji's words, Dongfang Bai's eyes lit up.
Sunrise in the East, Invincible: "Master? Could it be that you, the group leader, have obtained the legacy of the great Empress? Which one is it? The Heaven Swallowing Devil Art or the Immortal Heaven Art?"
If she remembered correctly, the only things that could represent the legacy of the Ruthless Empress were these two imperial scriptures.
The Heaven Swallowing Devil Art was created by the Ruthless Empress; it could devour everything in heaven and earth, leaving nothing behind, consuming all to strengthen oneself. It was arguably the most domineering technique in the world, containing the devouring laws of the three thousand Great Daos!
The Immortal Heaven Art, on the other hand, was created in her later years. Through it, she shed her devil body, like a silkworm turning into a butterfly, breaking out of her old shell to give birth to a divine fetus, severing the karma of the past, and transforming into the supreme Chaos Body, thereby living another life.
Regardless of which one it was, cultivating it to the highest realm would allow one to directly become an Emperor.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Bai was both envious and jealous, because she also wanted to obtain the legacy of the Ruthless Empress.
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Yes, I have obtained the legacy of fellow Daoist Empress. As for which one it is, I don't mind telling you all: the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art."
Qian Xunji did not intend to hide the fact that he was practicing this technique due to the notoriety of the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art, because he did not think there was anything wrong with it.
What is evil is never the power itself, but the person who uses it. As long as he used the power for the right path, who would call him a villain?
Moreover, there was no such thing as justice or evil in this world, only victory and defeat, because the winner with the biggest fist had always been the one who defined justice!
Furthermore, since the Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card was already available, going to other worlds was only a matter of time.
Once a battle or something occurred, his strength and cultivation techniques would be impossible to hide, so he might as well tell everyone directly and continue to flesh out his image as a gentleman.
Seeing Qian Xunji's reply, Dongfang Bai's expression was a bit strange.
If she remembered correctly, it had always been the devil body achieving the divine fetus, just as the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art achieved the Immortal Heaven Art.
The Immortal Heaven Art was the perfect version of the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art, so those who practiced the Immortal Heaven Art naturally countered those who practiced the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art.
Those who practiced the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art were essentially just fodder for those who practiced the Immortal Heaven Art; the greater their achievements, the stronger the practitioner of the Immortal Heaven Art who devoured them would become.
For example, Hua Yunfei from the original Shrouding the Heavens was such a tragic person who worked in vain for others!
Could it be? Was the great Empress planning to let the group leader become fodder for her true successor?
That would be a bit too much, wouldn't it?
Thinking of this, Dongfang Bai immediately felt some dissatisfaction toward the Ruthless Empress.
However, she was reluctant to go up against the Ruthless Empress because of this.
After all, the Ruthless Empress was too strong!
A single sword strike could level a forbidden life zone, and she could suppress dark turmoil with a single hand. As someone who had been cultivating for less than twenty years, she feared that if she faced such a terrifying existence, she would be gone with a single breath from the other party.
Well, her world would likely be gone along with her.
Not to mention, this was just her own speculation, without any real evidence.
Perhaps the other party didn't have such intentions at all!
