Qi Qi is a stubborn and impulsive girl; in other words, she's very genuine. When she disagrees with Su Yu, she often uses her hands and feet, biting and kicking him until she's panting and then bites back, tearfully accusing him. Throughout the whole process, she doesn't consider the other person's status, identity, or strength.
This little demoness loved to return home in glory and often went to the Demon Emperor Hall to show off her wealth. As a result, many people became aware of the Immortal Gold pendant and Bodhi Heart bestowed upon her by Su Yu. Because of her fiery temper, she even used the Demon Emperor Ruler to suppress her brother, Southern Demon, during an argument.
In the original story, the Feathered Green Gold Ruler shattered into five pieces. In this Lifetime, it fell into the hands of different people: Ye Fan got one piece, Duan De got one piece, and a Great Saint from Flying Immortal Star got one piece. The last two pieces were obtained by Qi Qi through his own efforts.
Su Yu didn't participate in the Demon Emperor's Tomb, but his family's several demonesses were quite envious and went as a group. Using a borrowed Jiuli Diagram and the Taihuang Sword, they managed to snatch two fragments. Qi Qi, in particular, became even more arrogant. She couldn't bully Su Yu, but she could bully Qi Lin and frequently suppressed her brother, making her a well-known good sister in the Great Luo Heaven. ( Ji Ziyue also wanted to emulate her, but at that time, Ji Haoyue suffered a sudden and devastating defeat, followed by a match-fixing scandal that spread throughout the universe, leaving her in a very dire situation, and therefore she wasn't suppressed by her own sister...)
And then there's Qing Shi, the woman who carries the destiny of Immortal Ancient.
This person came because of her admiration for strength and her love of romance. Su Yu naturally wouldn't be polite to her. On the first day, he extracted some of her Azure Moon True Blood to cultivate the Indestructible Heavenly Art, almost causing Qing Shi to fall from her cultivation level and earning her tears all night. Afterwards, he ruthlessly attacked her without any mercy.
Such actions not only did not anger the other party, but they also took what they wanted from him afterward. In the dream world, Qing Shi was even willing to die for Su Yu, the kind of woman who would commit her life to one person.
She loved watching Su Yu high above, looking down upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Every time she saw Su Yu fight and kill a Supreme or destroy a forbidden zone, she felt even more joy than when she herself broke through her own realm, and sometimes she would even shed tears...
As for the Jade Lake Saintess
Recalling the scenes from five hundred years ago, Su Yu shook his head, showing little emotion.
The girl was not unmoved by him, but when faced with a choice, she ultimately chose the sect.
Actually, it was his own mistake; he chose the wrong path.
For these great sect goddesses, discussing personal feelings was far too extravagant; they weren't even complete individuals, their fates intertwined with those of their sects.
The correct approach would be to knock her unconscious and carry her away, making it a fait accompli, then everything will be easier. When the girl cries, offer comfort and reassurance, give her ancient Nine Secrets and promises of the future. In short, use both power and favors simultaneously. If that doesn't work, repeat the process a few more times.
Sincere feelings are no match for cold reality.
If we only talk about emotions, who knows how many people in the Void Realm are like that...?
Su Yu's lips curled slightly, showing a hint of admiration for his past self from five hundred years ago, a self with a long list of misdeeds.
At that time, even though he possessed half an imperial artifact, he was still nothing more than an ant. Yet, he was able to fearlessly plunder a group of holy maidens, goddesses, and princesses. Regardless of anything else, his courage alone was enough to make him a saint and attain enlightenment in the Dharma Ending Age.
A couple of impulsive actions now seem insignificant, and in the end, he got what he wanted.
His thoughts settled, and with a fleeting glance that left little trace, he directly returned to the Great Luo Heaven Divine Medicine Secret Realm via the golden-white divine path, beginning his attack on the Path to Breaking the Emperor with his Saint Spirit Avatar.
Zixia was still waiting for the Jade Lake Saintess to return, but she was surprised that the person who had just wanted to go with her to learn the Art of War had now abandoned her and left. This change left Zixia stunned.
Almost instantly, she guessed Su Yu's psychological change, and could only shake her head and mourn for the Jade Lake Saintess.
Having provoked this petty thief, the Jade Lake Saintess is sure to have no peace for the next ten thousand years.
Just because of one rejection!
Just then, a golden divine chariot carrying chains in the arms of nine Azure Luan returned, shattering a ripple of jade. Inside, the Lord of Jade Lake possessed a powerful aura, and the Taichu Principles, refined to their extreme, already showed traces of Quasi-Emperor aura.
She will break through to the next realm in less than thirty years, or even sooner.
Zixia also appeared to meet them.
Both were once shining stars of their region, and had met in their youth, so they were old acquaintances and not strangers at all.
Jade Lake received this Quasi-Emperor of the Purple Mansion with the highest honors.
Few people knew that Zixia was Quasi-Emperor, but the Jade Lake Saintess was certain that she had entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
At the mouth of the Divine Spring, the two sat facing each other. The host, her beautiful eyes gleaming, stared intently at the Central Region Saintess who had once been her equal, and asked a question.
"What level have you reached now?" She was eager to know the other person's strength.
When they last met, the two were separated by a major realm, one being Seventh Heaven of the Saint Realm and the other a newly promoted Saint King.
As for now...
"You really want to know?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Zixia no longer concealed herself. A vast aura belonging to a high-level Quasi-Emperor swept down, causing the entire Jade Lake to tremble. Even the Western Emperor Pagoda was awakened and revived on its own.
Because she had cultivated with Su Yu so many times, Zixia often came into contact with the Supreme Laws. She also possessed Lu Ya Daojun's Taiyang Gourd, which allowed her to draw inferences from one instance to another. Therefore, although she was at the Quasi-Emperor Eighth Heaven, her body was overflowing with wisps of Imperial Dao Laws.
This is the mark of Almost-Enlightened One!
This is absolutely shocking!
This news is absolutely dazzling.
"You... you're already on the Almost-Enlightened One?!" The Jade Lake Saintess's pupils constricted, her beautiful face paled, and she lost her composure in a long time, finding it hard to believe all this.
She was unaware that Zixia had broken through to the Quasi-Emperor three hundred years ago, so the sense of loss in her heart was too great. Although she did not show it on the surface, she was already heartbroken.
Three hundred years have passed, and so much has changed.
"Only at the eighth level, not yet at the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven."
The woman in purple shook her head, her expression calm, and corrected the other person's words.
But it was still astonishing. No one had expected that the Purple Mansion Saintess (or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say the Lord of the Purple Mansion ) was actually close to attaining enlightenment.
The Innate Dao Embryo has entered the Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm (the true situation is only known to the Jade Lake Saintess ), and at this moment it descends upon Jade Lake.
The news spread throughout Big Dipper in a very short time, causing an uproar across the Eastern Wasteland. Many powerful forces were interested, and the leaders of all the major sects set off to pay homage to Jade Lake.
No one knows how many people came that day; the gates of Jade Lake were almost broken down. If they weren't allowed to enter, many people simply sat outside the gates and refused to leave.
"Please allow us to pay our respects to the Lord of the Purple Mansion."
Everyone longed to see the fully formed Dao Embryo, even those who lived in the same era as Zixia, hoping to hear this giant preach.
The level of enlightenment attained by a fully formed Innate Dao Embryo is absolutely astonishing, perhaps no less than that of Almost-Enlightened One on the path to enlightenment (such as Laozi, Sakyamuni, Shennong, and the Yellow Emperor ).
The people of Jade Lake Sacred Land are in a dilemma. Zixia's identity is now very different. She is a person who is about to Almost-Enlightened One, Emperor Lord, and may have the hope of becoming a venerable one in the future.
If it were anyone else, no one would dare to be certain, but this giant came from Kunlun and was the Kun Master's bedmate. He truly had the potential to become Supreme in the future.
Seeing the Jade Lake Saintess's restrained demeanor, Zixia sighed. Time has changed so much. In the past, the Jade Lake Saintess could joke with her and interact with her as an equal. When they met in their teens, she was even inferior to her because the Purple Mansion was not as good as the Jade Lake. But now things are like this.
Not only this peerless saintess, but everyone else was the same, filled with trepidation and utter awe towards her...
Chapter 740 The Dao Embryo Ascends to Supremacy, and a Hundred Emperors Rise to Power
Standing at the pinnacle, loneliness is ever-present; this is something every powerful figure in the Dharma Ending times must experience.
Faced with requests from numerous great sects and elders of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, Zixia did not refuse and decided to give a lecture there for a day to resolve the doubts of the ancients, discuss the principles of Yin and Yang, and expound the profound meaning of the Great Dao.
During this time, some familiar faces arrived, led by Yao Yuekong of the Heavenly Demon Palace. This Heavenly Demon was dressed in fluttering purple robes, exuding an eerie aura, like a purple comet streaking across the Eastern Wasteland sky. However, when facing a Quasi-Emperor, he was extremely respectful, treating Zixia as a senior and daring not to overstep his bounds in the slightest.
Other familiar faces, such as Wanchu Holy Son and Dao Yi Saintess, also arrived. Some were of the same generation, while others were elders whom Zixia had once called her aunt or grandmaster.
At this moment, she sat cross-legged on the platform, her eyes darting around, the entire Eastern Wasteland laid out before her, and the Taiyang shrouded in purple mist, just like the scenes of the past. Memories of her teenage years stirred within her, but those memories quietly faded away, leaving only an indifferent Quasi-Emperor.
The past life was like a dream, a bubble, a shadow; it was like a dream, like lightning, all buried in the past.
He reigns supreme in the south, with a hundred saints as his servants!
Looking down at the Big Dipper, one sees the birth and death of all things.
This was a loneliness unique to Zixia. Suddenly, her desire to revisit the place faded, leaving only a few moments of silence.
Life and death, so fleeting and uncertain, are but a dream!
Five hundred years ago, a young girl, fresh out of school, had clear and bright eyes. She danced with her skirts and transformed into the Purple Ziyang for the first time, shooting out a Purple Mansion Fusang Light. The sun set at the edge of the sky and disappeared.
Five hundred years later, the Empress returned to the Big Dipper. As she walked along the Jade Lake, she suddenly felt a pang of fear, as if sensing something. Looking up at the sun, a beam of radiant purple light struck her jade-like neck. It could not shake her immortal body, but it severed her last vestige of earthly ties...
That year, Fu Guang was as radiant as purple silk, but the ethereal and otherworldly Dao Embryo nun was nowhere to be seen.
" One Thought Blooms, granting control over cause and effect!"
Accompanied by a heavenly voice, the mountains and valleys of the Big Dipper resounded. Zixia's hair was disheveled, and her eyes were surrounded by an intensely dense azure aura of the Great Dao. As far as the eye could see, there were countless chains that only Supreme could perceive.
At this moment, Zixia was unaware that, in her awareness of the passage of time, she had already opened a gate between heaven and man within her Dao Embryo bloodline, plunging her into a terrifying state of Dao enlightenment. Time quietly passed around her, and she was completely oblivious, as another month passed since her battle on the Jade Lake Dao Platform.
Within those dark pupils, countless phenomena flashed by rapidly, and suddenly, azure clouds billowed up over this ancient land.
Zixia's aura also began to change, sometimes weak, only at the Saint Realm, and sometimes terrifying, as if a Supreme had descended, causing everyone to tremble with fear, their bodies feeling like chaff, almost wanting to kneel down.
Finally, the Immortal Tear Green Gold Pagoda of the Jade Lake Sacred Land flew out on its own, rippling with rays of light, and landed in front of Zixia to protect her.
Zixia was completely unaware of everything happening outside.
It was as if she had embarked on a grand dream, a dream spanning a thousand years, a dream lasting ten thousand years, as if she had retraced the path of life.
The young girl, imbued with the blood of the Dao, swept across the galaxy, leaving behind only fallen geniuses and suppressing everything with the light of the Great Dao, until she encountered one person, a special being.
He was the only one who could fight him to a draw. The two became acquainted because of this, and gradually fell in love and got married.
Later, she attained enlightenment and became an empress, while her partner also achieved great physical perfection, becoming a Supreme master. Over the course of a thousand years, the two experienced all the wonders of the world and watched the turmoil of life unfold, until the arrival of their child.
She sealed away her children, stayed by her husband's side, and fulfilled her duties as a wife. Everything was so beautiful, until... the calamity of the corpses struck.
"Well..."
Looking at the five-colored red fur on his body, Su Yu couldn't help but click his tongue. He really wanted to use the Immortal Tribulation Dao Fire away all the evil and monsters, then storm into the Underworld and kill the Prison-Suppressing Emperor again, along with the Source God, Source Ghost, and that Chaotic Blood Ghost.
During this period, the Prison-Suppressing Emperor and the Three Venerables of the Source Dao had not yet separated.
Let these evil spirits experience the Shangqing sword light once more!
However, this will inevitably change the trajectory of the story.
"It's rare that Zi'er can trigger the Western Emperor's mark, so let her suffer a little..." Su Yu suppressed the urge to draw his sword and slay the Source God, and began to replicate the classic.
"I can't grow old with you anymore. Let me be free, send me on my way." He turned around and said to the beautiful woman in the purple imperial robe, his voice filled with indescribable helplessness and reluctance.
The woman in purple had a face full of sorrow, tears streaming down her face, and she clenched his hand, which was covered in long, five-colored hair, tightly.
"Our child will definitely become an immortal and will become the ancestor of the Dao in the future." In those final moments, when Su Yu mentioned his child, he did not follow the usual procedure but said something else entirely.
Then, he swiftly transformed, the raging flames burning away his five-colored red fur, revealing a Perfect World face and a lithe, upright figure.
"Farewell, Zi'er. If there is an afterlife, I hope to meet you again when I'm fifteen, to continue our destiny in this Lifetime." The light and shadow faded, leaving only the woman's heart-wrenching cries...
Relying on his mastery of the Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages, Su Yu returned from beyond the realm and immediately stormed into the forbidden zone of the Underworld, awakening the Prison-Suppressing Emperor and the Three Venerables of the Source Dao.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, which happened in the blink of an eye. No one expected that the Heaven-reaching Nether Treasure would devour its master, suppressing the Chaotic Blood ghost to death. Then, under the Shangqing Slaughtering Sword Art, the Source Ghost and Source God quickly followed in its footsteps.
Only the lonely Prison-Suppressing Emperor remained, his forehead pierced by Su Yu, and he fell into the ashes.
Finally, the Dark Giant, adorned with the Golden Immortal Wheel and clad in the Nether Iron Emperor's Robe, wielding the Death War Spear in his left hand and the Hell Heavenly Halberd in his right, ascended step by step to the throne symbolizing the Netherworld Venerable Lord.
In the original timeline, the Underworld hid the Supreme through the Heaven-reaching Nether Treasure. The Queen Mother of the West had immense hatred but could not find the culprit. In the end, she could only smash the plaque of the Underworld and failed to avenge her husband.
Su Yu wanted to change some aspects of this story in order to achieve the goal of tempering the Dao Fruit of the dreamer.
