Chapter 455
Xiao Minghuang and Xu Xiuer settled down under Li Chenzhu's guidance.
"Senior Ziwei, please rest. If you need anything, you can tell me through this token."
Li Chenzhu handed Xiao Minghuang a silver token, then turned and took her leave.
"Xiu'er, this Lifeng Immortal King is no ordinary person..."
Xiao Minghuang casually handed the token to Xu Xiuer and whispered.
"Hmm..." Xu Xiuer nodded, "As a veteran Immortal King, she seems overly modest in front of Your Highness."
"That's right. She was intentionally being respectful without revealing any real attitude or showing any desire to win me over. She was deliberately stalling for time because she was afraid that if she made a request, I would definitely refuse, since we haven't established any relationship before."
"Does Your Highness mean that she will bestow some favors upon us, making it impossible for Your Highness to refuse her advances?"
You're right!
Xiao Minghuang's beautiful eyes flashed with a sharp light. "The only star regions adjacent to the Lifeng Star Domain are our Ziwei Star Domain and the Weiming Star Domain. It is said that the Weiming Immortal King passed the seventh thousandth tribulation several eras ago, and is now firmly superior to the Lifeng Immortal King. That's why she plans to win me over to fight against the Weiming Immortal King together."
Xu Xiuer frowned slightly. "Does Your Highness intend to accept her offer of allegiance? If we get involved in the conflict between the two great immortal kingdoms, I'm afraid..."
"Whether or not she gets involved in their dispute depends on what price she can offer," Xiao Minghuang said slowly. "If she can't offer something that appeals to me, then I'll pretend I know nothing about it!"
"Your Highness is wise!" Xu Xiuer said with a smile.
Over the next period of time...
Almost every day.
Li Chenzhu would visit them with a large number of gifts.
The gifts were numerous and varied, with the most precious being rare treasures from the heavens and Immortal Dao Spirit Treasure the immortals. As for the other miscellaneous items, even some Heaven and Earth Divine Object, they were not worthy of Xiao Minghuang's attention.
"Senior Ziwei, this is a gift from the Supreme One."
Li Chenzhu brought a bunch of gifts again.
Xiao Minghuang didn't even bother to look at it.
She had expected this.
"Thank you for your kindness Lifeng Immortal King and fellow Daoist, but we cannot accept such a generous offer!"
Xu Xiuer politely declined.
Li Chenzhu had long anticipated being rejected, and left with a gloomy expression.
"Your Highness, even I wouldn't be interested in the things that Lifeng Immortal King sent. How could she possibly be so kind as to offer them?"
"Don't rush, no one will present their most precious gift right away. The best is yet to come..."
Several more days passed.
This day.
Xiao Minghuang was dozing in the courtyard.
Suddenly.
A faint humming sound echoed in the void.
Xiao Minghuang suddenly opened her eyes and immediately realized that she was no longer in the original courtyard, but had been transferred to another strange space.
Everything was pure white from all sides.
The next moment.
A towering figure emerged from it.
The figure wore a clean white robe, with white hair and beard, but his face was extremely young, with delicate and tender skin, like that of an infant.
Xiao Minghuang's gaze was calm. She could tell at a glance that the white-haired, youthful-faced man in front of her was none other than a supreme immortal king!
Moreover, having endured countless tribulations in ancient times, he possessed a rare and wondrous Chaos Rare Treasure; otherwise, he would not have been able to transfer her from the Lifeng Immortal King without alerting him.
"Fellow Daoist Ziwei, your unparalleled beauty surpasses all others throughout history. Indeed, meeting you is not as good as hearing about you, and hearing about you is even better than meeting you!"
The white-haired, youthful-looking man smiled.
Who are you?
Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly. Although she had some guesses, she still couldn't help but ask.
"If Fellow Daoist Ziwei cannot discern my identity, then there is no need to continue this discussion."
The white-haired man shook his head and chuckled.
"Hehe..."
Xiao Minghuang said calmly, "What does it matter if I know or I don't?"
"You suddenly moved me here without offering a single explanation, instead resorting to evasion. It seems there's really no point in continuing this discussion!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
A powerful force of Immortal Dao Law seemed to surge forth from Xiao Minghuang's body. This pure white expanse was like a mirage, as if it could be shattered at the slightest touch.
"Wait!"
The white-haired man looked at her with a smile, as if he had everything under control.
Xiao Minghuang stopped in his tracks, hands behind his back. "I wonder what exactly you intend to do?"
"I understand people's urgent needs and fulfill their requirements." The white-haired man smiled slightly. "I possess a magical treasure that can detect the secrets of the heavens, conceal one's aura, and teleport through the void. Since Fellow Daoist Ziwei is here, you should know that what I say is true."
Xiao Minghuang remained noncommittal, unsure of the meaning behind the other party's so-called "urgent concern for others," but she believed it to some extent.
To be able to move her out of the Lifeng Immortal King without her noticing, besides the Celestial Venerable, there are probably only some extremely mysterious magical treasures.
It's just unknown what level this so-called magic weapon is. If it's just Chaos Rare Treasure, she can break it by force with the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars in her possession.
After all, the Chaos Rare Treasure is only equivalent to Immortal Dao Spirit Treasure, while the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars in her hand is an Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure Embryo. As long as it doesn't encounter a flawless Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure, it will be invincible.
"Since you've come to my door, you must have something to say. Why beat around the bush and speak so evasively? Let's be frank and straightforward!"
Xiao Minghuang said calmly.
"Good!"
The white-haired man chuckled softly, but his gaze shifted slightly, landing on Xiao Minghuang's lower abdomen.
"Since the beginning of the universe and the establishment of order, the birth of a Celestial King is truly unprecedented... Fellow Daoist is indeed an extraordinary person, but fortunately, you have met me..."
"Varied..."
As Xiao Minghuang listened to her speak, his heart suddenly jolted, and he almost couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Um?"
The white-haired man stopped speaking and looked at her.
"Fellow Daoist, please continue..."
Xiao Minghuang quickly calmed herself down and regained her composure.
But in her heart, a storm was raging!
What he just said...
"The Celestial King has given birth?"
She's pregnant!!!
How is that possible!?
Xiao Minghuang felt like her entire mind had exploded!!!
She simply couldn't believe it.
However, he vaguely sensed something in his heart, connected to the strange suction force within his body.
It seems possible...
The white-haired man continued talking, but Xiao Minghuang wasn't listening at all, only noticing his last two sentences.
"... I possess a Chaos Rare Treasure, formed at the dawn of creation, containing the true essence of the Origin Great Dao all heavens. If Fellow Daoist Ziwei obtains this treasure, it will surely ensure a smooth delivery for you, with both mother and child safe and sound, and you may even receive the support of your offspring."
"Furthermore, if protected by this treasure, your offspring may be born as immortals, no different from Innate Being!"
The white-haired man smiled and said, "If I were to bestow this treasure upon you, I wonder if you would be willing to listen to my words?"
Xiao Minghuang was still pondering and examining her internal condition, paying almost no attention to the white-haired man's words.
"Fellow Daoist Ziwei?"
"... Fellow Daoist Ziwei?"
"Um?"
The white-haired man called out repeatedly, and Xiao Minghuang finally reacted, staring intently at him.
"I wonder if you intend to consider my terms?"
"What are the conditions?"
Upon hearing this, the white-haired man twitched his lips, thinking to himself: It's said that women become stupid after pregnancy, and even the mighty Immortal Ziwei Immortal King seems unable to escape this rule...
So he briefly repeated what he had just said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned deeply.
According to him.
The Celestial Realm will soon conscript Immortal Kings, Immortal Lords, and True Immortals from all star domains to explore the boundaries of the Great Dao at the edge of the universe. All that they gain will belong to them.
But that's not the key point, because exploring the frontiers of the universe is actually a tough job, and it's hard to achieve anything significant.
The key lies in the fact that, outside the Cosmic Great Dao, those long-decayed worlds that have transformed into dead stars are gradually returning to the Great Dao.
The Weiming Star Domain, the Lifeng Star Domain, and the Ziwei Star Domain are located on the edge of the eastern region of the universe, and are the first to be affected, so they will undoubtedly receive the greatest benefits.
The current situation is that Weiming Immortal King and Lifeng Immortal King have a long-standing grudge. In order to completely defeat this opponent, Weiming Immortal King is willing to offer the Chaos Rare Treasure mentioned in the preface and form an alliance with her.
Xiao Minghuang temporarily suppressed the shock of her pregnancy and considered whether or not to agree to the conditions of the Weiming Immortal King.
The feud between Weiming Immortal King and Lifeng Immortal King was none of her business. Although she was currently a guest in the latter's immortal palace at his invitation, she had not made any agreements with him nor received any benefits from him. Therefore, even if she turned against him, it wouldn't matter.
But the key point is...
"Your words are empty promises; how can I possibly believe you?"
Xiao Minghuang said calmly.
The white-haired man chuckled, "This Chaos Rare Treasure is called the 'Yin Yang Hua Sheng Seal'."
Before the words were finished, an ancient seal with black and white colors flew over, hovering in mid-air, spinning rapidly, its primordial power surging forth, exuding a mysterious and unfathomable Daoist charm.

"The Yin Yang Hua Sheng Seal is a treasure born from the creation of chaos, the establishment of Yin and Yang, and the birth of all things. It is the Origin Great Dao that emerged from the Dao, responding to all changes. It is a treasure born innately, possessing the power to create life and turn death into life. Even in the entire universe, it is the most supreme Chaos Rare Treasure!"
The white-haired man explained in detail, "As long as you use this item to protect the child in your womb, allowing it to be bathed in the essence of Yin and Yang day and night, it will surely be born into the world within a hundred years."
"Moreover, this rare treasure is itself an extremely precious magical artifact, containing the true essence of the Origin Great Dao, which will be of great benefit to you, fellow Daoist..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang showed a hint of hesitation.
Xiao Minghuang certainly knew that the Cosmic Great Dao are inherently intertwined, with each containing elements of the other.
For example, the Yin-Yang Dao itself is composed of Taiyin and Taiyang, but at the same time it coexists with the Five Elements Dao. When they are intertwined, they can form the Way of Chaos.
As for her Way of Stars, it is all-encompassing, and she makes use of all her experiences with the stars.
Therefore, obtaining a magical artifact containing the Origin Great Dao would indeed be of great use to her.
She only needs to observe the Origin Great Dao within the Yin Yang Hua Sheng Seal to integrate it into the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chart, thus perfecting this Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure.
Moreover, even if she doesn't use it herself, preparing it for her unborn child is also a viable option.
It has to be said.
