God Emperor

Chapter 2035: Departure

The words of the Blood Empress had caused some turmoil in Zhang Ruochen’s heart, and for a while, he did not know what to say.

He believed that there should be true feelings between the Blood Empress and Emperor Ming, otherwise, there would be no him at all.

Even so, it was still very difficult for him to accept the Blood Empress now.

If Emperor Ming was by his side, perhaps, Zhang Ruochen would not be troubled like this.

Zhang Ruochen was depressed and said. “I’m a little tired. You go first.”

The Blood Empress could hear that Zhang Ruochen’s resistance towards her had obviously weakened a lot, which was undoubtedly a good start.

“Chen’er, rest well. If you need anything, just let Mother know,” the Blood Empress said softly.

As if to keep a good impression in Zhang Ruochen’s heart, the Blood Empress did not linger as she turned around and simply left.

Feelings needed to be cultivated. She had been waiting for eight hundred years and was naturally not in a hurry now.

“Are you okay?”

As soon as the Blood Empress left, Mu Lingxi asked softly.

She could see that Zhang Ruochen’s emotions had been fluctuating a lot earlier. Based on her memory, there were very few things that could make Zhang Ruochen’s emotions spiral out of control.

It could only be said that his physical body in his previous life and the matter of Emperor Ming had too great an impact on Zhang Ruochen, which made him cared a lot.

Zhang Ruochen exhaled deeply as a smile appeared on his face. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. I’m not that vulnerable. As long as Father is still alive, I will definitely find him,” he said.

Also, as long as he found Emperor Ming, the many doubts in his heart would perhaps be answered.

Hearing that, Mu Lingxi relaxed a little. She was really afraid that Zhang Ruochen would push himself too hard and cause some problems to arise.

Later on, the Blood Empress would come to check on Zhang Ruochen a few times a day. Of course, she would bring treasures such as Heaven-grade Sacred Pills, Yuanhui Elixirs, and the like, wishing she could provide Zhang Ruochen with all of the best items.

Although Zhang Ruochen was no longer as cold as before, he still did not show any intention of getting close to her. He also did not want the treasures the Blood Empress had brought to him.

After her delivery of the Beast Emperor meat was met with failure again, the Blood Empress walked out of Zhang Ruochen’s room but ran into Kong Lanyou in the garden.

“Lanyou, come chat with Auntie,” the Blood Empress said gently.

A look of hesitation flashed in Kong Lanyou’s eyes, but in the end, she nodded and did not refuse the Blood Empress.

When the two reached a pavilion, they entered it and sat down.

Perhaps it was because she had not had a good chat with someone for a long time, the Blood Empress said a lot with Kong Lanyou as they talked about some of the past at the Peacock Manor.

The Blood Empress was not a heartless person. After living at the Peacock Manor for so many years, she naturally developed some feelings for it.

Unfortunately, eight hundred years had since passed, and the Peacock Manor was no longer what it was. All of the people she knew back then were no longer there, and only Kong Lanyou could still make the Blood Empress care about her somewhat.

As for the Blood Empress, Kong Lanyou had rather complicated feelings. For eight hundred years, she had always thought she had a different aunt and had often gone to the royal tomb to sweep her grave. However, after learning that her aunt’s identity was the very same Blood Empress who had terrorized the Kunlun Realm before, she could not help but feel a complex mix of emotions.

“Lanyou, there are many mysterious places on the second level. Based on Auntie’s investigation over the years, there should be an opportunity here that will allow you to recast your Immortal Saint Body.” The Blood Empress suddenly said.

Kong Lanyou’s expression instantly changed, and said, “Is there such an opportunity?”

What Kong Lanyou cared most was, first Zhang Ruochen, and second, recasting her Immortal Saint Body. But she also understood the difficulty of recasting an Immortal Saint Body was unimaginably difficult. Without any special opportunity, success was simply Impossible.

“Yes, but getting it will not be easy, and there will be some dangers.” The Blood Empress nodded.

After receiving a definite answer from the Blood Empress, Kong Lanyou’s heart was shocked. Huge emotional fluctuations disrupted her state of mind even though it had been refined for over eight hundred years.

A glint appeared in Kong Lanyou’s eyes as she said, “If there is an opportunity, then I need to give it a try, even if it is dangerous.”

The Blood Empress nodded approvingly, saying. “The danger is not trivial, and perhaps you will fall because of this, and have your body and spirit destroyed. Of course, there is also a possibility of you shooting straight into the stars, and complete a top-level Immortal Saint Body, gaining the basis to become a god. You can think about it, there is no rush to answer.”

As she said that, the Blood Empress got up and left.

Only Kong Lanyou was left in the pavilion as she quietly thought about the matter. ????????n????????а????. ????????m

Godfall Creek, one of the most mysterious places on the second level.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was standing outside the creek, as he closely watched the figure sitting cross-legged in the stream.

The figure was no one else, but Chi Kunlun.

Although the Blood Empress told him that Chi Kunlun did not want to see him, Zhang Ruochen still wanted to get a glimpse of Chi Kunlun, so that he could really be at ease.

Godfall Creek was bizarre and unpredictable. The dimensional power there was extremely violent, and it was full of dimensional rifts. Dimensional storms would also appear at times. Even a Supreme Saint level elite would not dare to step into this place at will.

Meanwhile, Chi Kunlun was sitting in the middle of Godfall Creek. It might have looked dangerous, but it was, in fact, the safest spot.

“Chen’er, don’t worry. Kunlun will never be in any danger here. The Precepts of Dimension in Godfall Creek are the most active here, and this is very helpful for Kunlun’s comprehension of the Path of Dimension. Plus, Godfall Creek contains a lot of Dimensional Blood Crystals. If Kunlun can get a piece of it, not only will his Path of Dimension see a great increase, his True God Body will also be spurred a step further,” the Blood Empress said.

Zhang Ruochen replied, “Let Kunlun cultivate here then. I hope once he comes out, he will be able to stand on his own.”

In any case, Chi Kunlun possessed the body of a True God and was also a Master of Dimensions, so Zhang Ruochen had great expectations of him.

After standing outside Godfall Creek for a while, Zhang Ruochen turned and left.

And seeing Zhang Ruochen leave, the Blood Empress also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Chi Kunlun in Godfall Creek was naturally not the real Chi Kunlun, but a fake body formed by the Blood Empress using a Dimensional Blood Crystal.

After all, Chi Kunlun was still in that Yanluo powerhouse’s hands. With Zhang Ruochen insisting on seeing Chi Kunlun at that moment, the Blood Empress could only deal with it in her way.

With a flash, the Blood Empress appeared inside the cave that contained the body of Zhang Ruochen’s previous life in a flash.

“It has only been a few days, why are you back here again?” Xuemo said.

The Blood Empress had a serious look on her face, saying. “Xuemo, your strength has already been restored to a good level. There is something that I need you to help me do.”

“What is the matter that could make the Blood Empress seek help from me? Tell me about it.” Xuemo was surprised.

The Blood Empress said, “Help me deal with a Yanluo-Clan junior and rescue my grandson from his clutches.”

“A junior from the Yanluo Clan who is worth me taking action?” Xuemo was obviously a little unhappy.

The Blood Empress said softly. “When you see him, I’m sure you will be interested.” Follow current s on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

Immediately after, the Blood Empress turned around and said to Qiu Yichi, “You will lead the team this time. Take Xuemo and Yan Liren with you. Yan Wushen is nigh-invincible in combat, but his state of mind may not be flawless. I’ll give you this Heart-Taker Orb in case of need.”

“Remember, you must bring Chi Kunlun back, and there must be no mistakes.”

Qiu Yichi hurriedly reached out to take the Heart-taker Orb and seriously said, “Rest assured, Master, I will definitely bring Chi Kunlun back safely.”

“Yes, go on then. Come back as soon as possible.” The Blood Empress nodded.

Xuemo chuckled and said, “For someone that the Blood Empress takes seriously will definitely not let me down. Then I shall help you with this, and I can work these bones while I’m at it.”

As he said that, Xuemo followed Qiu Yichi as both of them left the cave together.

Seeing the two leaving, the Blood Empress could not help but whisper, “I hope everything goes well.”

She hoped that she would be able to show Zhang Ruochen the real Chi Kunlun the next time Zhang Ruochen wanted to see him, and not the fake body she had created using something else.

In a blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Zhang Ruochen could really feel that his body was completely saturated now, and before he broke through the realm of Heaven’s Reach, he will not be able to absorb the strange energies of the second level.

In recent days, Zhang Ruochen, Mu Lingxi, and Kong Lanyou roughly explored the second level, but sadly, they did not gain much. They were unable to set foot in those places where the greatest secrets were hidden.

“Looks like it’s time to leave.”

Zhang Ruochen finished his cultivation and muttered to himself.

When Zhang Ruochen verbalized his plan, Mu Lingxi naturally had no objections. In any case, wherever Zhang Ruochen went, she would follow.

However, Kong Lanyou pondered. “Cousin, I plan to stay here for a while. Auntie told me that there is an opportunity here that could allow me to recast my Immortal Saint Body. This is very important for me.”

“You believe what she said?” Zhang Ruochen asked seriously.

Kong Lanyou said, “I believe that Auntie wouldn’t lie to me.”

Although she had no basis for that, since there was such an opportunity, she would naturally not want to miss it.

“Do you need my help?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Kong Lanyou shook her head lightly and said. “No, I can do this myself. I’m no longer the little girl who needed to rely on you for everything. Eight hundred years ago, with my cultivation as a Supreme Saint, I was able to stand on equal footing with Emperor Qing and Emperor Ming.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “I, too, believe that you can succeed. Be careful. I’ll come back and see you if I have time.”

In fact, how could Zhang Ruochen not see that the Blood Empress actually bore no malice?

Kong Lanyou said, “Yeah.”

If it weren’t for the fact that she could help Zhang Ruochen more in the future, Kong Lanyou really did not want to be separated from Zhang Ruochen at this moment.

After saying goodbye to Kong Lanyou, Zhang Ruochen took Mu Lingxi as he used the Dimensional Shift to leave the palace on the mountain top. Immediately after, the two took to the air as they flew towards the exit of the second level at the fastest speed possible.
