Lin Heng changed the subject.
"Of course we're leaving!"
The Evil Emperor replied, "But we can't be too hasty, after all, my current state is not stable enough!"
"The remnant soul from the past life and the soul in this life have been completely merged, but the consciousness of the two lives still needs some time to truly merge together!"
"It will take some time to completely refine the cultivation power of the old man I devoured earlier!"
"If I leave in my current state, it will be too easy to be detected as something is amiss, and I might even be hunted down by the powerful members of the Saint Alliance again!"
"I haven't recovered to the Great Saint Realm yet, and now that I've lost the Evil Emperor Netherworld Pearl, I can't reveal myself too soon!"
"No need to rush, no Saint Alliance experts should be arriving anytime soon!"
Lin Heng nodded, agreeing with the Evil Emperor's words.
Aren't you planning to leave either?
The Evil Emperor countered with a question.
"I've only been on Heavenly Gate Star for two days!"
Lin Heng shook his head.
Although the Longevity Road Pass wasn't considered particularly valuable by the system, Lin Heng still wanted to get his hands on something that the Saint Alliance would fight over at any cost!
Lin Heng has confirmed that the Evil Emperor never entered the Heaven-Gazing Courtyard in his previous life; he only appeared at the gate!
In other words, Lin Heng needs to sign in at the gate of Heaven-Gazing Courtyard several times in order to obtain the Longevity Road Pass!
"To be honest, I would be more willing to accept you if you could stay a little longer!"
The Evil Emperor said frankly, "If you leave in such a hurry, I will be very worried that you will reveal my situation to the Saint Alliance! Stay with me a little longer, and once my condition stabilizes, it will be much more appropriate for us to leave together!"
"Um!"
Lin Heng nodded, "You recover here. I'll wander around a bit more. I drank too much yesterday and didn't get to see many places properly!"
Lin Heng left the room!
Many powerful members of the Saint Alliance have visited Heaven-Gazing Courtyard before, and today, after signing in here, they still all received Saint-grade rewards!
Those rare and precious medicinal materials, including sacred pills and holy-grade ingredients, will play a vital role in helping Lin Heng and the others reach the level required to break through to the Saint Realm as quickly as possible!
In fact, some of these sacred items can even allow Saint Realm experts to rapidly increase their cultivation level!
After all, Great Saint Realm expert once resided here!
There is one Saint Artifact worth mentioning, called the " Yin-Yang Mirror "!
It is made primarily from Solar Heavenly Crystal and Lunar Heavenly Crystal, and can unleash a powerful attack that combines the Solar Law and the Lunar Law!
Once hit by its attack, the body's yin and yang will be reversed!
What's most impressive is that its attacks are extremely penetrating, and ordinary defensive Saint Artifact simply cannot effectively defend against them!
In his previous life, the Evil Emperor attempted to force his way into the Heavenly Gate of Heavenly Gate Mountain. When he passed Heaven-Gazing Peak, he was struck by this Saint Artifact and subsequently perished in resentment!
At that time, the Evil Emperor had already gone through a fierce battle in the starry sky and was seriously injured, otherwise he would not have been easily hit by the Yin-Yang Mirror's attack!
That was a deadly trap set by the Saint Alliance against the Evil Emperor!
Lin Heng did not invite his mother, Liu Ling'er, and the others out of the Qiankun Ring because the Evil Emperor's condition was unstable and he did not understand the Evil Emperor's temperament well enough!
He was not afraid to face the current Evil Emperor alone, but he could not let his mother and the others go out and risk their lives!
Another day has passed!
I checked in at the gate of Heaven-Gazing Courtyard for the third time, but still didn't get the Longevity Road Pass!
"Well!"
The Evil Emperor sighed in frustration, "In my past life, I reached the Great Saint Realm, so adapting to my skyrocketing cultivation in this life is easy, but adapting to a woman's body is truly difficult!"
Having been a man for thousands of years, suddenly becoming a woman is something no one can adapt to quickly!
That's normal!
Lin Heng wanted to laugh, but didn't actually laugh. At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't had the same experience. If his soul had transmigrated to the Divine Firmament Continent, he would have become a woman too...
I can't even imagine!
That must have been really awkward!
"I'm afraid I'll never get married, and I'm also incapable of falling in love with a man!"
Did you get married in your past life? Or rather, did you have a woman you loved?
Lin Heng asked curiously.
"None!"
The Evil Emperor shook his head with a wry smile, "In my past life, I always thought that women were all trouble, only hindering my cultivation speed! Alas, in this life, I have become trouble myself!"
"It's not like you have to get married, there's nothing to be upset about!"
Lin Heng thought to himself, "You're the Evil Emperor, even if you wanted to get married, who the hell would dare to marry you?"
"That's true!"
The Evil Emperor nodded, but his face was still filled with frustration!
The difference in gender should be the biggest obstacle for the Evil Emperor to merge the consciousnesses of the two lifetimes!
A few more days passed, and Lin Heng finally received the sign-in reward for the Longevity Road Pass!
He's practically fleeced everyone in the Heaven-Gazing Courtyard!
So he prepared to leave!
"Five hundred years isn't too long, and the appearance of Heavenly Gate Mountain might happen two or three hundred years earlier than expected. Why don't you wait a little longer?"
The Evil Emperor said, "Wherever you cultivate, it doesn't matter. Staying on Heavenly Gate Star is just fine, isn't it?"
"You can rest assured, I will not reveal your situation to the Saint Alliance!"
Lin Heng understood the Evil Emperor's true intentions!
"My main goal is to leave with you!"
The Evil Emperor said, "You have Saint Artifact allows you to travel through space, so leaving with you won't require using the teleportation array! Even if my condition completely stabilizes, constantly using the teleportation array could easily expose me if we encounter a Saint Realm expert from the Saint Alliance!"
Even if his cultivation level recovers to the Saint Realm, without the Evil Emperor Netherworld Pearl, the Evil Emperor in this life cannot be as unrestrained as he was in his previous life!
"I dare not keep you with me all the time, not only because I cannot fully trust you, but also because that would make me a thorn in the side of the Saint Alliance!"
Lin Heng paused, then said, "Unless you can swear an oath of your soul to be loyal to me from now on!"
Lin Heng felt that, given the Evil Emperor's proud nature, there was absolutely no way he would swear allegiance to him!
"You little brat, how dare you ask me to pledge my allegiance to you? You're just High-Stage God Venerable, I'll soon be able to truly recover to the Saint Realm realm. How dare you make such a request?"
The Evil Emperor said angrily, "I know you'll achieve great things in the future, but that's in the future, and many things can change in the future! How about this, let's become sworn brothers!"
"Sworn brothers?"
"Yes! Let's become sworn brothers!"
The Evil Emperor said, "I am the older sister, and you are the younger brother! Regardless of past or present lives, I am far older than you. Calling you 'younger brother' is not a loss for you!"
"Even if I become sworn brothers with you, won't I still be implicated by you and offend the Saint Alliance?"
Lin Heng frowned and said, " The Saint Alliance's Great Saint Tai Chen has a very good impression of me and even wanted to recommend me to join the Saint Alliance!"
Do you need to join the Saint Alliance?
The Evil Emperor scoffed, " The Saint Alliance has many rules, and I don't think you enjoy being bound by those restrictions!"
"Furthermore, the Saint Alliance is not monolithic. Joining the Saint Alliance and siding with Great Saint Tai Chen will still implicate you, and you might even become cannon fodder in the Saint Alliance's fight against the alien races!"
"You're still young; you don't know how many hypocrites are within the Saint Alliance!"
