Having understood the full chain of events, Chen Nianzhi could not help but smile. "In that case, the Great Wilderness Emperor Lord losing his chance to attain the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Dao was not necessarily a bad thing."
Emperor Lingxi sighed softly, then nestled into his arms. "Had he attained the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Dao, I fear I would have been unable to control my own fate. I would not have met you today either."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, and a trace of chill surfaced in his eyes.
There was an enormous gap between the Chaos Heavenly Emperor and the Hunyuan realm. If that Great Wilderness Emperor Lord had stepped into the Heavenly Emperor realm, then if Lingxi refused him, she likely could only have abandoned her physical body and let her Primordial Spirit flee into the Great Dao for shelter.
At that thought, a flicker of killing intent bloomed in his gaze. Whatever had happened back then, Emperor Lingxi was now his woman.
If he encountered that Great Wilderness Emperor Lord again someday, and his strength was sufficient, Chen Nianzhi would not mind teaching the man a lesson.
With that thought, Chen Nianzhi suppressed his feelings and said, "This time, I seized a Great Dao Source Stone on the Desolate Ancient Continent. Do you want to try breaking through to the seventh level of the Hunyuan Emperor realm?"
Emperor Lingxi's eyes lit up with delight.
A Great Dao Source Stone was an exceedingly rare top-grade Hunyuan spiritual treasure. Formed from the origin of the Great Dao, it brimmed with boundless Great Dao power.
For those who cultivated the Great Dao, refining a Great Dao Source Stone could roughly increase their chances of breaking into the late Hunyuan Emperor realm by thirty percent.
Though tempted, Emperor Lingxi still shook her head.
