God Emperor
Chapter 3942 The Price of Empress Shiji (1/2)
Xutian's eyes were filled with envy, and he said, "You are so bold to marry Shiji. Have you forgotten the lesson of Afuya?"
Chan Bing said, "Shiji is trying to sow discord between you and Tianmu! Who doesn't know the value of Hou Tu's wedding dress? Who can obtain the realm of the half-ancestor will be invincible. If they meet the ancestor, they will have a chance to escape."
Juemiao Zen Nv said, "Mrs. Shiji is famous for her narcissism and jealousy. It is said that in her era, if someone said someone was more beautiful than her, that woman would not live to see the next day. It's too dangerous! "
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "You don't really think that I want to marry her, do you?"
Xu Tian narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Not really, could it be that Lady Shiji, a half-ancestor, would call out to you for no reason?"
"I think this deal is a success. Giving Hou Tu's wedding dress to Tianmu will get nothing. But marrying Lady Shiji is different, you can leave a name for eternity, and make people in the world and the future envious."
"The reason why I asked Soul Mother to bring a message to her is just to put extreme pressure on her." Zhang Ruochen said.
Soul Mother is the title of Lan Xi now, representing the mother of the soul world.
Xu Tian said: "Yes, yes, yes, you succeeded!"
Zhang Ruochen was too lazy to argue with Xu Tian, whose eyes were red with jealousy, and said solemnly: "I am thinking about a question. What is the purpose of Lady Shiji announcing this matter so loudly? What benefits does it bring to her?"
Wu Tian Shenzun said: "You have to think about it the other way around. What harm does it bring to her? There is no harm at all."
"She is sure that you will not give her Hou Tu's wedding dress, so she doesn't have to worry about marrying you."
"On the contrary, this has many invisible benefits for her! First, it tells the cultivators in the world that you are pursuing her, and your purpose in dealing with Tiannan is also for this. This is enough to dilute the subsequent impact of the Tiannan incident!"
"Second, if you force Qingcang to abandon himself again, it will surely cause criticism from the world. People will think that it was Lady Shiji who refused. "Third, she can use this method to borrow your power without paying any price. Anyone who wants to be her enemy in the future must consider you as a pursuer." "Grandfather said, "What grandpa said is just the benefits she can get if you don't respond. If you really bring Hou Tu's wedding dress and go to marry her, she will get more benefits." "First, if you really want to marry her, she can resist now, but with your cultivation speed, she will definitely not be able to resist in the future! So, it is better to be glorious now than to compromise in the future." Zhang Ruochen said, "Juemiao, how can you look at me like this? Am I a person who likes to force others?" "I just stand in the position of Lady Shiji and think about her inner thoughts." Juemiao Zen said. Xu Tian said sarcastically, "Really? Back then in the Destiny Realm... Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Anyway, I think Soul Mother might have told Lady Shiji something. What's that look in your eyes? My spiritual power is perfect, and I am in charge of the "Book of Destiny". Isn't it normal to know some things?"
Zhang Ruochen naturally wanted to explain, and said, "Soul Mother and I were both weak back then. We were in the Hell Realm. We were in a difficult situation and were in danger of losing our lives. We just wanted to protect ourselves. Old ghost Xu, can you calm down and discuss business!"
Xu Tian thought that he would continue to borrow Jian Xin, so he suppressed the jealousy in his heart, put his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes, and said no more.
The wonderful Zen girl said: "There is another reason. Since ancient times, who among the top practitioners does not want to collect all the Nine Cauldrons and command the entire universe? You have already obtained five of the Nine Cauldrons. How could you let go of Lady Shiji? Her true form is the Dark Cauldron."
"You are not touching her now, but your cultivation is not enough."
"Any cultivator in the world, including Lady Shiji herself, knows very well that as long as she does not break through to the ancestor realm, she will inevitably have a master-servant dispute with you in the future."
Zhang Ruochen said: "What if she breaks through to the ancestor realm?"
The God of Wrath looked solemn and said: "If she breaks through to the ancestor realm before you, she will definitely take the Nine Cauldrons. The best result is to lock your cultivation and not give you the opportunity to break through to the ancestor realm. But, with Qingtian's lesson, how could Lady Shiji make the same mistake again? Kill you and cut off the roots, is her only correct choice.
At this point, the God of Angry Sky said: "Perhaps, Lady Shiji has seen the future and thinks that marrying you at this stage would be a better choice to avoid future life-and-death conflicts."
Zhang Ruochen said: "So the God thinks that Lady Shiji really intends to marry me?"
"Who knows? The heart of a semi-ancestor is not so easy to guess."
The God of Angry Sky said: "After this round of confrontation, the mutual testing between you has ended, and you have a general understanding of each other's bottom line."
"I suggest that you talk to her openly and honestly. It is not a good thing to continue to suspect each other. As for the realm of the ancestor, it is still too far for her and you."
...
The news spread very quickly like wings.
First, it caused a shock among the three upper clans on the Dark Abyss defense line. I don't know how many cultivators envied Zhang Ruochen and only regretted that they could not replace him.
"Strength, in front of absolutely powerful strength, what kind of woman can't I marry? Practice hard, I want to be the next Emperor Chen."
I don't know how many young cultivators tore up the portrait of Lady Shiji that they treasured, no longer had any distractions, sweating profusely, just wanting to go further in their practice.
Many gods of the dead clan were indignant.
They felt that Zhang Ruochen must have threatened the lives of Qingtian and the two adults before Empress Shiji compromised.
The stone tribe monks were confused.
"If Empress Shiji marries into the Sword Realm and becomes the emperor, where will our Stone Clan go?"
"Of course, we will also join the Sword Realm! Xiuchen Tianshen and Bai Shenzun have already brought two monks from the Stone God Star to join the Sword Realm. It is only a matter of time for us to move there."
"I had anticipated this day for a long time, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."
A Rakshasa monk was unconvinced and said, "It's impossible. Di Chen has already given Houtu's wedding dress to Tianmu, how could he give it to Empress Shiji again?"
The Stone Clan monk who was accompanying him said, "Are you questioning the charm of Empress Shiji?"
"The key to Houtu's wedding dress is the word "wedding dress". How can it be given away so easily? It's just a loan to Tianmu."
"You don't understand at all. For many monks, marrying Empress Shiji is a greater sense of accomplishment than attaining the Taoist ancestor."
…
When the news spread back to Wuding Shenhai, it naturally caused a storm of controversy.
The gods from all walks of life under the Sword Realm are looking forward to it, hoping that Zhang Ruochen can bring Empress Shiji back to the Wuding Divine Sea, so that they can have a glimpse of the most beautiful woman in all time.
As for the value of Houtu's wedding dress, they didn't care at all. It was not a gift to whom it was given.
…
After using the sword heart to kill the fifteen swords of Styx, Zhang Ruochen set foot on the road to the Liuli Temple.
Completely ignoring Empress Shiji's cleanliness, she went directly to the temple without bathing or changing clothes.
Standing in the center of the hall, Zhang Ruochen raised his voice and said, "It's time for your Majesty to wake up. Can you still sleep after such a big storm?"
Empress Shiji's chariot couch was separated by a light gauze bead curtain.
Lian Xi and Bai Qing'er guarded the left and right sides of the bead curtain.
As the master of the Shiji God Star, after the battle with Huangtian, Bai Qing'er came to the Liuli Temple to pay homage to the Empress Shiji. To any Stone Tribe monk, Empress Shi Ji, the living half-ancestor, is worthy of respect, and at the same time, one can also ask her for advice on cultivation methods.
A smiling voice came from the chariot couch: "How can you cause such a storm in Tiannan? Houtu has brought you the wedding dress, let me see it."
"Houtu didn't bring the wedding dress."
"Then what are you doing?"
Zhang Ruochen saw that Empress Shiji was still pretending to be stupid, and knew that she was the guest, so he stopped being led away by her and said: "I think that marrying Empress Shiji, in fact, does not require a wedding dress."
The hall fell into silence.
After achieving the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, Zhang Ruochen sat on a seat on the right and said calmly: "With your wisdom, I should be able to guess that I came to the Dark Abyss Defense Line to retrieve the Ghost Gate that belongs to the Kunlun Realm."
Empress Shiji's voice was cold: "The mirror of destiny, right? Yes, it once belonged to the Kunlun realm, but was swept away by the sea of underworld! I obtained it from the sea of underworld, why should I give it back to you?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "If you use Guimen Pass as your dowry, I will marry you."
Lian Xi and Bai Qing'er looked at each other, the former was shocked and the latter was worried.
How could they have imagined that Zhang Ruochen would dare to say such a thing?
Bai Qing'er naturally knew that Zhang Ruochen was so strong and aggressive that he deliberately set the price higher. But, aren't you afraid of angering Empress Shiji?
The other party is a veteran half-ancestor.
After a long period of silence, Empress Shi Ji walked out from behind the beaded curtain. The half-ancestor showed her power, with a flickering death light in her eyes, and said: "Di Chen really thinks that he already has the power to do whatever he wants in the world?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Is your Majesty saying that in the future I will have the power to do whatever I want in the world?"
"In the future, who knows if there will be a future?" Empress Shiji said.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Since no one knows what the future will bring, let's talk about the present. I wanted to settle old accounts with Qingcang, but the empress stopped me and said that I would give me a satisfactory answer in one day. Your answer is to marry me. Can I understand that?"
"Isn't this the result you want?" Empress Shiji asked.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Since everything has been laid out clearly, let's not make so many twists and turns. Why don't we be more honest? I traded Qingcang and Tellurium for the ghost gate. What do you think of it?"
Empress Shiji rolled her eyes and said: "If you had used this attitude to talk to me earlier, why would the situation have reached this point? My half-ancestor, the most beautiful woman in all time, has to sacrifice my reputation in order to gain some initiative. right."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Isn't my reputation damaged by such methods? Now, the monks from the Dead Clan and the Stone Clan all feel that I am deliberately embarrassing Tian Nan, and the purpose is actually to force you to marry. I am not unjust, I It’s the victim.”
"Who knows if you really have such an idea? A man who can fall in love with more than ten women is like a greedy cat. How can he see the fish and not be greedy? What's more, the fattest one is in front of him. ." Empress Shiji's voice is soft and very feminine, and everyone can hear the narcissism in her words.
Zhang Ruochen really has no idea about Empress Shi Ji. He always feels that she is vast and unreal, like the clouds in the sky, and does not have the sense of closeness that makes him want to kiss her.
He said: "So, your Majesty has agreed to my proposal?"
"No."
Empress Shiji said: "You have no intention of touching Qingcang, but you are just scheming against me. How can you use him as your bargaining chip? As for Te, you just want to take away the mirror of destiny based on a cake you drew in vain?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "So, what are the conditions for the empress?"
"The value of the Mirror of Fate is not inferior to that of the Jiuding. If it is forged together with the Sword Pavilion, the Netherworld Dungeon, and the Netherworld Purgatory to become the legendary seventy-two-story tower, the value will be even more immeasurable. You need to exchange for three things! "Empress Shiji said.
"Your Majesty, you might as well talk about it first."
Empress Shiji said: "The five-colored glass cover, the desolate moon, and of course the tellurium you mentioned before."
Empress Shiji asked for a colorful glass cover, which Zhang Ruochen expected.
After all, the colorful glazed cover is made of "multicolored stones" and "burning glazed lamps".
Colorful stones are priceless to the Stone Clan, and they may be able to help Empress Shi Ji advance to the realm of the ancestors.
But Huang Yue was unexpected by Zhang Ruochen.
So far, Zhang Ruochen only knows that Huang Yue has a deep connection with Bai Yuan, one of the nine great witch ancestors. He has been suspended above the ancient and abandoned city for many years, constantly absorbing the dark power of the Dark Abyss.
Inside Huangyue, there is no concept of time and space, and the dark power contained in it has the same origin as the darkness.
Zhang Ruochen always felt that there was a great secret hidden in the darkness inside Huang Yue. Unfortunately, even after using mental power and divine will to explore many times, no results were found, so we had to give up.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Is your Majesty going too far? You want too much!"
"Aren't you going too far?" Empress Shi Ji showed a charming smile again and said: "We are all for each other. What do you want more than the Mirror of Fate?"
Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry to counteroffer, and said, "What exactly is Huang Yue? I think the empress must know."
"Give it to me and I will tell you." Empress Shiji said.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head.
Empress Shiji looked helpless and said: "Then I can only tell you that it will have a very small effect on you, but it can bring you a fatal disaster."
"Dark and weird? Or should I say, Bai Yuan?" Zhang Ruochen said.
Empress Shiji shook her head and said, "It's not that simple."
Zhang Ruochen observed the furnishings in the palace, and suddenly the topic changed: "Both Lian Xi and Qing'er respect the empress, but as long as I speak, they will follow me. Does the empress know why?"
Empress Shi Ji looked at Lian Xi and Bai Qing'er and saw that they didn't refute Zhang Ruochen's words. She felt a little angry, but she couldn't let it out, which would only make Zhang Ruochen laugh.
She smiled calmly and said: "Di Chen is indeed a very charming man!"
Zhang Ruochen took out the walnut-sized Huang Yue and threw it directly to Empress Shi Ji, saying: "Because, as long as they need it and I have it, no matter how precious it is, I will give it to them without hesitation. What I don't have, I will I will also find a way to find them.”
After Empress Shi Ji took Huang Yue and confirmed that it was not fake, her eyes showed a strange look and said: "It's hard for a man like you not to be liked by women."
"Where's the answer I want?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Empress Shi Ji calmed down her violently fluctuating mood, knowing that she had fallen into Zhang Ruochen's rhythm, but it didn't matter anymore.
"Di Chen is so generous, how can I hide it anymore? In fact, I took Huang Yue to prevent disaster for you."
Empress Shiji continued: "Do you know why Bai Yuan, one of the nine great witch ancestors, turned into an immortal and dark and strange?"
"Why?"
"Because of the black dragon."
"who?"
"The father of the swastika Qinglong, the Hongmeng Black Dragon."
Empress Shiji began to tell the secrets of the ancient times, saying: "In the ancient times, the fiercest battle must be the battle between the witch ancestors and the immortals among the ancient creatures. These immortals are all from the previous calamity. The surviving beings from the era are hiding among the twelve ancient tribes.”
"The fall of the immortal marks the end of the ancient times and the beginning of the ancient times."
"Among them, after the death of Hongmeng Black Dragon, its dragon corpse was taken away by Bai Yuan and suppressed by Buzhou Mountain to prevent the corpse from giving birth to new spirits. This desolate moon is the immortal dragon ball of Hongmeng Black Dragon!"
Zhang Ruochen did not regret because of the value of Huang Yue. While he was shocked in his heart, he couldn't help asking: "Can the empress know the origin of Huang Yue? Some of the half-ancestors and ancestors in history must also know it, right? Why does Huang Yue grow so long? The ancient ruined city has lasted for eternity, but it has not been taken away by anyone?"
