"So it's Grand Preceptor Wen!"
Marquis Ji, Boyikao greatly alarmed and quickly dismounted from his scaly horse.
"Why did Grand Preceptor Wen want to capture Daji?"
Grand Preceptor Wen sneered, "What do you mean by 'arrested'! Su Daji willingly went with me! What's with this Black Wind, son of Marquis Ji? I've never heard of Marquis Ji having such a heretical accomplice."
"She wasn't captured?" Boyikao frowned. " Grand Preceptor Wen, you must have misunderstood. This Black Wind wasn't cast by my men. May I ask where Grand Preceptor Wen is escorting Daji to? May I see Daji?"
"Not one of your people?" Grand Preceptor Wen was startled. His cold eyes swept sharply over the several sorcerers Evolver in Boyikao's camp, and he could tell that these people were indeed not capable of creating such a powerful Black Wind.
" Boyikao, I escorted Su Daji to Zhaoge selected as a concubine. Where did you learn that Su Daji had been arrested?" Grand Preceptor Wen knew that something was amiss. Either Boyikao was lying, or there was someone powerful behind the scenes.
At this moment, inside Su Daji's tent, the Sage Zhunti was hiding.
" Su Daji, in order to fill the vacancy on the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods as soon as possible, you must make the sacrifice. I can guarantee that you will have a place on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods, and that you will rise from a mortal body to become a righteous god of the Heavenly Court, Sun Moon, with boundless lifespan." Sage Zhunti, preparing to use his small hand to deprive Su Daji of her life.
unexpected!
"How dare you harm my future queen! Get out!"
The tent was torn to pieces, and an aura of imperial majesty, exuding boundless imperial grace, swept in all directions, startling the heavens and the earth. The emperor's aura caused all living beings within tens of thousands of miles to prostrate themselves in worship.
"Your Majesty!" Grand Preceptor Wen was shocked; His Majesty had actually come here.
"Your Majesty? King Zhou Di Xin?" Boyikao was shocked, his legs involuntarily buckling as he knelt down. His soul trembled, and his gaze swept across the room, only to see Su Daji there, with an imposing figure in front of her that was hard to ignore. Her whole body radiated purple-gold divine light, and nine small divine dragons swirled around her.
Confronting King Zhou was an invisible force that tore space apart.
"Trying to escape? Take this!" Xiao Tian's avatar, King Zhou Di Xin, roared, a mysterious spear wreathed in the Southern Brightness Li Fire appearing in his hand!
A supreme treasure for innate destruction! God-Slaying Spear!
"The gun fires like dragons, arriving first with a single point!"
Chant!
A high-pitched, ancient dragon roar pierced through the distant primordial space, Sage Zhunti. He had never imagined that King Zhou possessed the innate supreme weapon of slaughter, the God-Slaying Spear! That was the Demon Ancestor Luohou! The Demon Ancestor Luohou was extremely powerful with the God-Slaying Spear. Back then, if Dao Ancestor Hongjun hadn't brought along the Qiankun Ancestor and Earth, the Creation Ancestor, and the Spacetime Ancestor to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, no one could have defeated Luohou in a one-on-one fight.
However, after his initial shock subsided, Zhunti was no longer concerned. Realizing that King Zhou was only at the Late-Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, he decided to escape into the void.
However, Zhunti the innate killing treasure, the God-Slaying Spear, and King Zhou Di Xin! He also underestimated the power of the Feng Huang Clan Chief First Phoenix's original flame.
As the strongest flame below the Chaos level, the Southern Brightness Li Fire is like a Sun Moon and moon compared to the famous Samadhi True Fire and Ninefold True Fire of later generations; the difference between them is terrifying.
Furthermore, King Zhou Di Xin was the incarnation of Xiao Tian. During his childhood, he received some abilities from the Heaven-Equaling Divine Ability, which was supposedly passed down through a pretense. He also had the destiny of a human emperor and was burdened with the great fortune of the Human Clan.
The Great Law of Causality Damage has been triggered!
Zhunti, who had vanished into the void, was completely struck!
Kidney Strike!
The innate killing treasure, the God-Slaying Spear, nearly punctured Zhunti's left kidney!
Zhunti was in excruciating pain, his eyes wide with fury, his face contorted in agony, and his heart filled with utter terror.
" God-Slaying Spear power! So terrifying! It actually broke through my protective qi!"
It should be known that even a powerful Quasi-Sage cannot break through the protective aura of Sage, unless Peak Quasi-Sage uses their strongest killing move along with Innate Supreme Treasure.
But King Zhou was only Late-Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Zhunti can only be understood as the terrifying power of innate killing treasures! This gave rise to greed within him!
"Ding! Successfully repelled and injured Sage Zhunti! Gained 3 Primordial Achievement Points!"
"Ding! Su Daji has been successfully rescued! You have gained 1 Primordial Achievement Points!"
"Ding! Super Choice Bonus Triggered! Bonus 1: Sage-Intoxicating Wine *1 cup! Primordial Purple Qi *1!"
"Benefit 2: Upon establishing a foundation of the Three Thousand Great Dao and advancing to the Quasi-Sage, you will receive 10 Law of the Great Dao of Strength Crystals! You will also obtain Chaos-Level Epoch Flat Peach God Tree!"
At the Human Clan Saint Teacher Hall, Xiao Tian exclaimed in disbelief, startled awake by the sudden windfall!
Xiao Li was holding a dragon girl figurine when he was startled by Xiao Tian's voice, causing several days' worth of work to be completely wasted.
"Damn it! Big brother, you owe me back my figurine!"
"Go cool off somewhere else!" With a flick of his finger, Xiao Tian sent the fierce-looking Purple Child Xiao Li flying, and sensed the situation at his avatar - King Zhou Di Xin.
"Brilliant! I predicted it perfectly! It's not shameful to give the God-Slaying Spear to this guy."
Xiao Tian was overjoyed and chose Benefit 2.
Self-cultivation is the key, and the Law of the Great Dao Crystal time, space, and power tempted him.
"Ding! It has automatically absorbed the Law of the Great Dao Crystal time, space, and power!"
At this moment, Xiao Tian felt that his mastery of spatial laws had surpassed that of the Space Ancestor, Wu Di Jiang.
Bullnose Glass!
"Hehehe! Even if my Quasi-Sage Experience Card expires, at my Early-Stage Quasi-Sage level, Miaomei still far from Peak Quasi-Sage! I can still fight Sage for a few rounds."
At the moment when King Zhou Di Xin used the God-Slaying Spear repel and Sage Zhunti, all the Sage and top gods of the Primordial world sensed it.
The Three Pure Ones Nüwa were alarmed to learn that Zhunti had been injured by the God-Slaying Spear, after all, King Zhou was only Late-Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"The destiny of the Human Emperor, the protagonist of the Great Tribulation! Truly terrifying!" Laozi saw the problem, the law of cause and effect, and made up his mind not to get involved in this Great Tribulation, lest he lose face.
"I wonder how this God-Slaying Spear compares to my Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords?" Tongtian pondered to himself.
After injuring and repelling the Sage Zhunti, King Zhou Di Xin withdrew his imperial aura and turned to look at Su Daji with a blank expression.
" Su Daji, are you alright?"
Su Daji knelt and bowed, then raised her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on the mighty and majestic King Zhou. Thinking of her secret feelings for King Zhou over the past few years, her face flushed crimson. She was both ashamed and flustered, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet King Zhou's eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this moment, Grand Preceptor Wen seemed to hear a shattering sound. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the son of Marquis Ji, Boyikao, had a stiff face and was trembling.
"Your Majesty, thankfully you arrived in time. This old minister did not expect the villains in the shadows to be so insidious, their target being Su Daji. It was my fault for failing to escort them properly," Grand Preceptor Wen apologized.
" Grand Preceptor Wen, this is not your fault. The enemy is too powerful and too despicable. Rise, everyone rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Boyikao recovered from the shock, his heart breaking. He had clearly seen that Su Daji had been flirting with King Zhou, and he had also Grand Preceptor Wen that King Zhou was choosing a concubine.
Boyikao felt indignant. Because of his social status, love would disappear, wouldn't it?
"Your Majesty, this is Boyikao, son of Marquis Ji. He somehow heard the absurd news that I had captured Su Daji, and has brought troops to intercept me."
Boyikao looked terrified and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I heard from a wandering poet that Grand Preceptor Wen led a large army to stay at the residence of Marquis Su Hu of Jizhou. After some inquiry, I learned that Grand Preceptor Wen had captured Su Daji, so he brought troops to rescue her."
"Your Majesty, Boyikao meant well." Su Daji, unwilling to let Boyikao suffer unjustly, boldly pleaded for him.
King Zhou said expressionlessly, " Boyikao, you may go back."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Boyikao breathed a sigh of relief, but with a broken heart, he led his troops away.
" Grand Preceptor Wen, return to Zhaoge."
Grand Preceptor Wen nodded, feeling quite pleased. The wise and powerful King Zhou was very satisfied with Su Daji; otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared, much less suggested continuing on the journey.
The royal family has an heir!
Su Daji's heart was pounding; had His Majesty taken a liking to her?
"What should I do? When we arrive in Zhaoge, will I be made a concubine or a queen?"
"I'm so scared."
Su Daji was lost in various delusions, while King Zhou Di Xin was reliving the attack on the Sage Zhunti, feeling that he could add the critical damage rate, multiplier, and true damage coefficient of the Heaven-Equaling Divine Ability when he made his move.
" Sage Zhunti, you're lucky this time! How could I, Di Xin, allow you to have your way when you dared to try and destroy my Great Shang!"
Zhaoge!
King Zhou Di Xin summoned all his officials and publicly announced that Su Daji would be made Queen of the Shang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Bi Gan, Shang Rong, and the others breathed a sigh of relief; the royal family now had an heir.
"From this day forward, the taxes levied on our Great Shang empire will be reduced by 30%!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After the announcement that King Zhou would take a new queen and reduce taxes by 30%, the people of Zhaoge were excited. They loved King Zhou even more and had a much better impression of Queen Su Daji Su Daji, believing that she was the key to the tax reduction.
That night, Su Daji was both shocked and ashamed, anxiously awaiting King Zhou's arrival.
However, as the night passed and dawn broke, Su Daji still hadn't seen King Zhou. She felt a mix of anger, shame, unease, and relief.
After washing up, Su Daji asked the palace maid.
Where is His Majesty?
"Your Majesty, I was just passing by when I was fetching water, and His Majesty was still cultivating."
"Cultivation?" Su Daji was a little annoyed. Instead of having a pampered queen like herself come to visit, he spent the whole night cultivating.
Seeing the signal, the palace maid quickly explained, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has suffered greatly. He was forced to inherit the throne at the age of ten and, with the assistance of several senior ministers, governed the country. At the age of twelve, he led troops to fight demons, barbarians, and sorcerers in the south and to subdue evil spirits in the north. He spends much of his time at war."
"Furthermore, I once overheard the head palace maid, Lady Li, who serves His Majesty, sighing privately. She said that His Majesty's body is covered in scars every time he takes a bath. When she scrubs His Majesty's back, she also tells him that the Shang Dynasty is very powerful, with all the major vassal states submitting to it, and that His Majesty should not work too hard and should take a proper rest."
"Your Majesty said that I cannot be complacent. What are the various feudal lords? In this vast and magnificent world, the struggle for territory among men is nothing. I must become powerful enough to negotiate with Heaven, so that my people may be spared from the torment of natural disasters and live a good life."
"Your Majesty has worked so hard." Upon hearing this, Su Daji's slight resentment towards King Zhou's absence vanished instantly.
" Xiao Lan, keep an eye on things for me. Let me know if His Majesty leaves the cultivation room."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
However, what King Zhou was really thinking while cultivating was, " Su Daji is my original self. Women are really boring. Where is the fun in cultivation, killing enemies, and fighting with strong people?"
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian, the true Human Clan Saint Teacher Hall, was being urged by King Zhou, "When are you coming to collect the goods?"
Xiao Tian was speechless.
