Though an Immortal Medicine Transformation is astonishing, unfortunately, I'm not an Immortal Medicine.
Thoughts surged through Jiang Zhu's mind.
"To think that a second Immortal Medicine in this world has embarked on the same path as my master! The Chaos Green Lotus could take the form of an emperor, and the sword grass, too, can cut through its shackles."
The deity of the Chaos Green Lotus spoke with admiration.
"Since that is so, our meeting must be fated. I see that you have yet to cultivate a scripture, so I shall pass this one on to you."
The deity pointed a finger, and Jiang Zhu immediately felt a scripture flow into his mind. It was none other than the Demon Emperor Scripture.
Then the deity turned to Yan Ruyu.
"The Azure Emperor's bloodline, chaos newly born-the golden lotus in your Bitter Sea can join with him to bring forth wondrous creation."
What a splendid assist from the deity of the Azure Emperor's weapon!
Hearing this, Yan Ruyu glanced at the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass rooted in the ground before her. After a pause, she said, "Thank you for your guidance, imperial ancestor!"
At that, the Chaos Green Lotus blossomed with divine light, and its deity vanished.
After the deity disappeared, Jiang Zhu returned to human form. The two remained silent for a long time before Yan Ruyu finally broke the stillness. "You should head back first!"
Jiang Zhu nodded and turned to leave. With the Azure Emperor Scripture in hand, he could now settle on the scripture for the next stage of his cultivation.
"Are you willing?"
A voice came from behind him, barely audible.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhu's divine sense was immensely powerful, and he heard her words.
"Your Highness, what did you just say?"
Jiang Zhu turned back to ask. He pretended not to have heard clearly, wanting to hear it again.
Yan Ruyu sat on a meditation cushion, a misty haze seeming to veil her gentle, beautiful eyes. Her skin shimmered with a crystalline luster, her figure was graceful, and her face was exquisitely beautiful.
Peach blossom petals drifted down from the hills, carrying waves of fragrance. Bathed in a shower of softly glowing petals, she knitted her delicate brows and said, "Nothing. You should head back."
"All right. Since there's nothing else, I'll head back first." Jiang Zhu was a little disappointed that he had not heard it a second time.
He strolled forward, then turned to the woman on the meditation cushion just as he was about to leave the hall. "I'm willing!"
At those words, Yan Ruyu could no longer remain seated. She immediately rose, a Divine Rainbow appeared beneath her feet, and she flew out of the hall.
Watching her retreating figure, Jiang Zhu called, "Your Highness! Are we still cultivating tomorrow?"
Her figure paused atop the rainbow, and she left behind an embarrassed, indignant word that seemed squeezed through her teeth. "Yes!"
After several months of intimate "dual cultivation," she no longer felt any resistance toward Jiang Zhu.
Having received Yan Ruyu's reply, Jiang Zhu happily returned to his residence. Today was a good day indeed.
Not only had he obtained the Demon Emperor Scripture, but he could also win the beauty's heart. It truly was a double blessing at his door.
Filled with joy, Jiang Zhu carefully studied the Demon Emperor Scripture.
The Azure Emperor Scripture bestowed by the Chaos Green Lotus's deity was complete. It contained not only cultivation methods, but also the forbidden chapters.
After recalling the Hengyu Scripture and comparing the two, Jiang Zhu found that, at least for now, the Demon Emperor Scripture suited him better.
Though the Hengyu Scripture was hailed as the strongest scripture for the four extremes secret realm, there was nothing he could do about that. Unless he cultivated a variety of scriptures like Ye Fan, he could only use it as a reference.
Besides, if Ye Fan had truly possessed a complete emperor's scripture, he would never have embarked on the path of cultivating various ancient scriptures.
Jiang Zhu sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly began circulating the Demon Emperor Scripture, preparing to recast his foundation and recultivate the sea of bitterness secret realm and the dao palace secret realm.
Dao diagrams circled around him. Characters leaped from them one after another, transforming into different divine beasts. Little qilins and vermilion birds flew up and down around Jiang Zhu.
These characters were exceedingly strange, each taking the form of a divine beast and possessing a peerlessly domineering power.
These were the Demon Clan's runes, the Great Dao of the Azure Emperor.
At the same time, the heavenly sounds of the Dao rang out. Chaos energy curled around him, and Dao Patterns enveloped his entire body.
The next day, Jiang Zhu once again arrived at the cultivation hall. While recasting his foundation, he had become so immersed in cultivation that he had nearly missed the appointed time.
Yan Ruyu was already in the hall, looking even more ethereal today.
She stood in the hall, her robes fluttering and her black hair swaying gently, her beautiful eyes clear as water. At the sight of Jiang Zhu, a trace of bashfulness slipped unwittingly across her face.
Even after cultivating together for so long and seeing her often, Jiang Zhu was still dazzled by her beauty.
"Why are you staring at me? It's not as though you've never seen me before."
"You have a special charm today, Your Highness. I couldn't help looking a little longer."
Yan Ruyu was momentarily tongue-tied, unsure what to say.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhu changed the subject. "Your Highness, shall we begin cultivating now?"
This time, she did not take out the ribbon-shaped artifact, instead walking straight up to Jiang Zhu.
The next moment, their bodies pressed together. Jiang Zhu opened his arms and tentatively placed his hands on her waist.
When she offered no objection, Jiang Zhu immediately closed his arms around her, holding her tightly against him.
The instant he drew her into his embrace, Yan Ruyu felt as though lightning had struck her. Her body stiffened briefly before relaxing.
Seeing that Jiang Zhu's large hands were about to wander, she hurriedly held them down and said, "Keep your hands still and hurry up and cultivate!"
Looking down at the bashful beauty in his arms, Jiang Zhu felt his appetite stir and could not resist kissing her.
The instant their lips touched, Yan Ruyu's long eyelashes trembled violently.
She pressed her palms against Jiang Zhu's chest, trying to push him away, but he held her tightly.
The next moment, he activated the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart. Boundless blood energy surged out, carrying a brilliantly glowing drop of essence blood straight into Yan Ruyu's Bitter Sea.
Earlier, Jiang Zhu had drawn a considerable amount of precious blood from the Demon-Refining Pot for the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart to absorb and refine, ultimately producing a few drops of the Demon Emperor's essence blood.
He had never expected it to prove useful here.
Wreathed in crimson radiance, the drop of essence blood shone with crystalline brilliance. Once it entered Yan Ruyu's body, it turned into endless blood mist and surged toward every part of her.
In Jiang Zhu's embrace, Yan Ruyu's body turned scarlet. Her blood flowed like a great river, rumbling thunderously, while boundless bloody light enveloped her.
"Mmph..." Her muffled words drowned in their mingling breaths.
Eventually, she grew accustomed to the sensation, immersed her mind in her Sea of Bitterness, and began cultivating in earnest.
Half an hour later, the two finished cultivating.
Gazing at Yan Ruyu in his arms, her cheeks flushed and her beauty as radiant as a flower, Jiang Zhu could not resist kissing her again.
The next moment, the world spun around him. Jiang Zhu flew out as though riding clouds and mist, ending up hanging from a beam in the hall.
"If you dare use your tongue again, I'll make you pay!"
Jiang Zhu was unfazed. Don't just talk about me using my tongue. Why didn't you say anything when you were flicking yours out?
Seeing his nonchalant expression, Yan Ruyu was both embarrassed and angry. She left the hall in an instant.
"Your Highness! Same time tomorrow-don't forget!" Jiang Zhu's voice carried after her.
Remembering what had happened during their cultivation, Yan Ruyu felt waves of crimson rise across her flawless face.
After that, the two continued cultivating together several more times, and Yan Ruyu no longer resisted Jiang Zhu's tongue-flicking antics.
Still, Jiang Zhu could not take things any further. He had planned to turn the raw rice into cooked rice soon, but the arrival of an uninvited guest disrupted his plans.
That very day, Yan Ruyu ordered a full withdrawal from the Profound Origin Sect, preparing to seek refuge with a mighty expert of the Demon Clan.
