Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Chen Suya entered the Imperial Study.

At this time, Emperor Wu was sitting on the soft couch in the Imperial Study, calmly reading the memorials.

“This concubine, Chen Suya, greets Your Majesty.” Chen Suya placed her hands in front of her and gave a slight bow.

Emperor Wu raised his head, looked at the woman in front of him, and smiled: “As a cultivator in the Upper Fifth Realm, you don’t need to be so polite to me, do you?”

Chen Suya smiled and shook her head: “Your Majesty’s words are wrong. So what if this concubine is a cultivator in the Upper Fifth Realm? I estimate that quite a few cultivators in the Upper Fifth Realm have died at the hands of the Wu Kingdom, right?”

Emperor Wu also smiled: “That’s not really the case. Cultivators in the Upper Fifth Realm are not like kittens or puppies that can be killed so easily. On the contrary, cultivators in the Upper Fifth Realm are very difficult to kill. As long as they don’t engage in prolonged battles and only focus on escaping, very few people can capture them.

Fortunately, there are also a few cultivators in the Upper Fifth Realm guarding my imperial palace. Otherwise, I don’t know when my head would be taken away by you cultivators.”

Chen Suya's expression was calm, with a polite smile on her face: “Your Majesty is truly humble. In this world, who can come to this imperial palace and harm Your Majesty?”

“There are many people who want to harm me, not just cultivators. Those court officials and those feudal lords, perhaps even any martial artist, want to come into this imperial palace and kill me with one punch.”

“Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about these useless things. I wonder why Madam Xu has come to see me?” Emperor Wu didn’t want to continue chatting with her about useful or useless things, wanting to get straight to the point.

But before getting straight to the point, some things couldn’t be said so clearly.

“Not long ago, the child just came to me and told me about the conditions and cooperation proposed by Your Majesty.” Chen Suya said directly.

“Oh?” Emperor Wu nodded, looking very interested. “Then I wonder if Madam Xu agrees or not?”

Chen Suya’s lips curled up, smiling very gently: “Of course I agree. After all, the conditions given by Your Majesty are so generous, and the price this concubine has to pay is so small. What reason does this concubine have to disagree? If this concubine still disagrees, then I would really be a bit ignorant.”

Emperor Wu smiled: “Since that’s the case, then I really have to thank ‘Madam Xu’ on behalf of myself.”

Chen Suya nodded in greeting: “Your Majesty is too kind. Actually, that child always misunderstands some things, always thinking of me as a very bad person.”

“This is human nature. After all, Xu Ming is a very sentimental person.” Emperor Wu said, “And I just happen to like Xu Ming that way.”

“Hehe…” Chen Suya just smiled and didn’t say anything more.

“However, I do have a question that I would like to ask Madam Chen. I wonder if Madam Chen can answer it.” Emperor Wu asked.

Chen Suya nodded: “Your Majesty, there’s no need to be so polite. Just ask.”

“Since Madam Chen has said so, then I won’t beat around the bush.” Emperor Wu’s eyes stared directly at Chen Suya, his voice somewhat low. “If I’m not mistaken, Madam Chen should be waiting for me to come and seek your cooperation, right?”

Madam Chen’s bright eyes blinked, as if with some doubt, and she calmly said: “Why does Your Majesty say that?”

Emperor Wu laughed a few times: “It’s a very simple matter. Madam Chen’s appearance in a village on the outskirts of Wudu was not without reason, but rather a selective appearance.

When Madam Chen woke up this time, she didn’t harm anyone, and she could even quietly devour the other personality, but Madam Chen didn’t do so.

Could it be because Madam Chen is too kindhearted?

I believe a cultivator shouldn’t be so sentimental.

This is because Madam Chen wants to leave some leeway. In Madam Chen’s heart, perhaps she originally intended for the Wu Kingdom and the Canglan Sect to cooperate.

It’s just that I really didn’t expect that Madam Chen would be able to sacrifice so much, marrying an ordinary person and even having a child.”

Chen Suya shook her head, her expression seemingly carrying a hint of helplessness: “What can I do? If I don’t hide myself, I will be calculated by those people sooner or later. At that time, I won’t even be able to protect myself, so what’s the use of talking about anything else?

However, Your Majesty has thought too much. I am not like that old man from Tianji City, able to be so resourceful.

I just want to live.

After I sealed my own memories, I became a completely new ‘me’. As for what ‘I’ would do, how would I know?

Not to mention calculating to this point today.

So the reason why I am here now, the reason why I might cooperate with Your Majesty, is all just a coincidence.

But to be fair, I really did give birth to a good son.”

Emperor Wu looked at Chen Suya seriously, and Chen Suya didn’t avoid Emperor Wu’s gaze.

“Hahaha,” after a while, Emperor Wu laughed loudly, “Sorry, sorry, I just like to think about things in a complicated way. If my words just now were offensive, please forgive me, Madam.”

Chen Suya’s lips curled up slightly: “Your Majesty didn’t say anything strange, so what do I have to forgive?

Moreover, whether it’s a conspiracy or whether it’s my calculation, it doesn’t matter, because it’s beneficial to both of us, isn’t it?”

Emperor Wu nodded: “That’s right, that’s right. Now that we’ve reached an agreement, shouldn’t we sign the contract?”

“That’s natural.” Chen Suya said, “I came here to see Your Majesty to sign the contract. Actually, to be honest, I’m also afraid that Your Majesty will regret it. After all, our Canglan Sect has nothing now, only some dilapidated remnants of power. But the Wu Kingdom is thriving. If Your Majesty looks down on us, then we can’t do anything about it.”

“Madam Chen is too humble. I believe that even if the Canglan Sect has been hit once, its strength is still not to be underestimated, and the Canglan Sect will definitely restore its former glory.

Besides, even if the Canglan Sect’s power is small, I will still cooperate with you, because I have great faith in Xu Ming. Xu Ming’s affairs are my affairs.” Emperor Wu said.

“It is Ming’er’s blessing that he can be appreciated by Your Majesty.” Chen Suya bowed to Emperor Wu, “I will thank Your Majesty on behalf of Ming’er.”

“You’re too kind.”

Although the two people said so, and although both of them had smiles on their faces.

In reality, both of them knew very well in their hearts.

Emperor Wu’s support for Xu Ming was one reason, but more so because the Canglan Sect’s power was definitely not so不堪.

And Chen Suya said on the surface that everything was a coincidence, but in reality, whether it was a secret plan or not, no one knew.

But it didn’t matter anymore. In any case, everyone was now on the same boat.

Emperor Wu picked up the Imperial Jade Seal from the table.

Emperor Wu gently tossed it upwards, and the Imperial Jade Seal floated between the two people.

Emperor Wu stretched out his hand and pointed at the Imperial Jade Seal, and the golden dragon aura flowed into the Imperial Jade Seal.

The Imperial Jade Seal bloomed with golden light.

Under the illumination of this light, a golden and shapeless piece of paper appeared between the two people.

Emperor Wu’s fingers kept waving, just like a writing brush, writing one word after another on this golden piece of paper.

As the last stroke fell, the golden, shapeless blank paper was already filled with writing.

“Madam Xu can take a look and see if it’s acceptable.” Emperor Wu said to Chen Suya. Chen Suya carefully looked at the clauses on the contract.

Chen Suya knew that Emperor Wu was using the national fortune of the Wu Kingdom as a guarantee to create such a contract. If she signed it, she would have to abide by it.

Otherwise, even a cultivator in the Ascension Realm would not be able to withstand the backlash from one of the Ten Great Dynasties of the Human Race.

“No problem.” Chen Suya said with a smile.

“Good!” Emperor Wu nodded, “Then let it be so.”

Emperor Wu cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood essence into the contract.

Chen Suya did the same.

After the contract absorbed the blood of the two people, the contract burst into spiritual light and dissipated into the air.

Thus, the contract was completed.

If Emperor Wu betrayed the contract, then the Wu Kingdom would suffer a certain degree of backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

If Chen Suya betrayed the contract, Chen Suya would be the same.

Whether it was for Emperor Wu or for Chen Suya, this was a burden that neither of them could bear.

“Since there’s nothing else, then this concubine will take her leave first.” Chen Suya said with a smile.

“Okay.” Emperor Wu nodded.

Chen Suya bowed and turned to leave.

At the entrance of the Imperial Study, Xu Ming was still waiting.

“Let’s go, we’re going home.” Chen Suya said to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming bowed to Wei Xun and followed Chen Suya out of the palace.

“Now you can rest assured.” Chen Suya looked at her son with a smile, “I have already signed a contract with Emperor Wu.”

“Did Emperor Wu say anything to you?” Xu Ming asked.

Chen Suya’s eyes curved: “Are you concerned about me?”

Xu Ming sneered twice: “If you really think so, then you’re really thinking too much. And even if I were to be concerned, it wouldn’t be about you.”

"Child, you always say such hurtful things to me, but it can't be helped. Your mother still forgives you, because you are my own flesh and blood," Chen Suya sighed.

"The Martial Emperor didn't say anything to me, just the cooperation agreement. But that guy was definitely trying to get information out of me. But your mother isn't stupid."

"Alright, in short, you don't need to worry about anything. Leave the adults' affairs alone, you children. " Chen Suya reached out and patted the dust off her son's shoulder. "Your mother needs to rest for a while. During this time, I'll let another me come and accompany you, but it won't be for long. Soon, your mother will be heading to the Northern Wilderness."

"I know what you're thinking. You want to go to the Northern Wilderness with me, but that's not going to happen." Chen Suya tapped Xu Ming's forehead. "I'll say it again, children shouldn't interfere in adult matters."

Xu Ming: “ . ”

After returning to the Xu mansion, Chen Suya said that she was a little tired and wanted to go back to her room to rest.

Xu Ming also knew that he couldn't get anything out of her by getting close to her, so he could only return to the courtyard to see Shixin.

When Xu Ming returned to the courtyard, Shixin had already gotten up from the bed and was sitting in meditation, chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Xu Ming didn't disturb Shixin, but sat beside her, listening to her chanting over and over again.

Although Xu Ming didn't understand a single word of the scriptures that Shixin was chanting.

However, Xu Ming gradually felt a sense of peace.

Xu Ming was even contemplating the meaning of life...

Of course, Xu Ming didn't come to any conclusions...

After a long time, Shixin slowly opened her eyes, looking at Xu Ming with a blink.

Xu Ming looked at the girl's clear eyes and couldn't help but smile, "My mother used to take me to the Buddhist temples in Wudu. The monks at the Clear Water Temple in Wudu also chanted these scriptures that you are chanting.

Even though you are all chanting the same scriptures, it always feels different when they come from your mouth."

Shixin tilted her head, "How is it different?"

Xu Ming smiled, "I'm not sure, but when you chant these scriptures, they seem to make my heart more peaceful."

Shixin: "Then, how about I chant them a few more times?"

"No need, it feels about right." Xu Ming poured a cup of tea for Shixin and pushed it towards her.

Shixin reached out and took the tea that Xu Ming had poured, taking a small sip.

"How is Madam Xu?" Shixin asked.

"Things should be alright." Xu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Well, after the Martial Emperor's investigation, it was discovered that my mother's other personality is actually from the Canglan Sect, and then..."

Xu Ming told Shixin all the details.

After listening, Shixin nodded, "This is the only way for now."

Xu Ming sighed, "That's right."

"Then what are Xu Shi's plans next?" Shixin asked.

Xu Ming shook his head, "I'm not sure myself. She said she's going to the Northern Wilderness, but she won't let me go. It's impossible for me to follow."

As he spoke, Xu Ming raised his head and looked at the sky.

"But I also know that in this world, without strength, nothing can be done." Xu Ming shook his head.

"You seem to have a place you want to go?" Shixin turned her head and looked at Xu Ming.

"There's a problem with me that hasn't been resolved. I've been putting it off, but now I feel like it's time."

Xu Ming sighed.

"After going to the Dragon Palace, I plan to go to the Western Regions to see someone."
