Although Ye Futian was responding to Zhou Lingxi, this was only polite small talk. In reality, no one knew what he was actually doing. They could only guess. Perhaps it was because he had received the gift from the Demon Monarch in the Donghua Domain back that that he could block the Great Emperor’s divine armor will.
“This is a rare opportunity indeed. If you come to some understanding, Emperor Ye, I would hate to miss out on it,” said Emperor Zhou Mu with a smile.
“I understand,” said Ye Futian with a nod. “I will work hard and see if I can glean some ancient cultivation arts from the divine body. However, if I only get to look at it for a little bit, then that will be too short a time to learn much. The divine body is full of wonder, but it will be hard to get much out of it.”
“The body of Shenjia the Great Emperor is indeed wonderful. We will see it together. If you have any doubts, Emperor Ye, you can find me in the Domain Chief’s Manor at any time, and we can discuss your feelings,” said Emperor Zhou Mu.
“Thank you, elder,” said Ye Futian with a slight nod.
Zhou Mu said no more to him. He turned to the crowd around them and said, “If any of you want to come, you must take caution that you do not make any mistakes. If you do not have enough control, you should not try. Of course, if you think you do have enough control, you can come with Emperor Ye and try to seize this opportunity.”
Everyone nodded. Given Emperor Zhou Mu’s lofty position, he naturally had the right to lecture them like this.
On saying this, Emperor Zhou Mu turned and left, leading them towards the Domain Chief’s Manor.
He turned his head and saw Zhou Lingxi still standing there. “Lingxi, are you staying here, or are you returning to the manor?” he asked.
“I will stay here and watch. You go on ahead,” said Zhou Lingxi.
“Alright.” Emperor Zhou Mu nodded and did not linger any longer.
Zhou Lingxi stood not far from Ye Futian, smiling at him and saying, “I expect that you will be able to gain an understanding of the Imperial Will from the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, Mister Ye.”
“You are too kind, Princess Lingxi,” said Ye Futian with a smile and a nod.
Among the crowd, Chen Yi and some of the others felt that this scene before them was quite strange. This Zhou Lingxi seemed quite close to Ye Futian.
“It is still essential to keep up appearances,” murmured Chen Yi. Even in the Renhuang plane, appearances still mattered.
“You don’t understand,” whispered Condor-sama, looking at Chen Yi with a bit of contempt. It was not surprising that Chen Yi had not understood.
“I don’t understand?” sneered Chen Yi. “What don’t I understand?”
“The boss has walked all this way on his own, under his own halo. How could you understand it”? said Condor-sama.
“What?” Chen Yi looked at the condor as if it were an idiot. “Even demons can flatter so shamelessly?”
“Spring insects no nothing of ice. How can common people understand the world of masters?” said Condor-sama enigmatically. Chen Yi wanted to hit it.
But there was no need for him to do it. The black wind condor felt a cold will. It turned around and saw Xia Qingyuan looking at it coldly. It shrank back. She was murderous!
At that moment, a soft, clear voice rang out: “Of all the heroes, Emperor Ye is the only one who can observe the divine body. In that case, is he the most powerful of all the proud heroes of the Shanging Domain?” The clouds in the sky shifted as a group of figures descended. Many veiled women were pulling a carriage behind them. The chariot was very spacious, and behind a thin veil, there seemed to be a charming figure reclining, seeming almost insubstantial. Even looking through the thin curtain, she seemed to be exquisitely beautiful.
The black wind condor looked up and whispered, “Do you understand?”
Condor-sama’s expression was profound and mysterious; it was like he was in a divine trance.
Chen Yi’s mouth twitched. He seemed to understand a bit now.
Everyone’s eyes were upon the carriage. If Empresses were pulling the carriage, what kind of person could be inside?
“It’s someone from the Palace of the Illusory God,” someone whispered.
“It’s her.” The cultivators from the top powers narrowed their eyes. They already knew who was coming. This woman was an incredibly famous figure in the world of cultivators. And she was a bit eccentric.
She had been born in the Palace of the Illusory God, but it was said that she had been kicked out when she was young due to an inter-family conflict. She had lived a hard life and experienced much suffering. However, she had managed to slay all the members of the family who had hurt her own family all by herself. This had caused a great stir when it happened, and many people had heard of it. But in the end, the Palace of the Illusory God had accepted her once again.
This woman was called the Goddess Qihuan by the world of cultivators.
She had already cultivated up to the ninth tier, and although her Great Path was not perfect, he illusions were powerful. She could entice people towards any earthly desire and make them fall into a deep trance from which they could not pull themselves out of. Thus, she was called Goddess Qihuan. When she had dealt with her family’s enemies, she had hurt them so badly that they no longer wished to live.
“Careful, that is the Goddess Qihuan of the ninth tier. Her illusions are frighteningly powerful, and she is a tricky swordswoman. She is an eccentric of the Palace of the Illusory God,” said Duan Qiong to Ye Futian telepathically. The Palace of the Illusory God and the ancient royal family of Duan were both great powers of the Middle Third Heavens and had come into conflict many times. Thus, he understood them very well. He naturally knew of the Goddess Qihuan.
Ye Futian was a bit uncomfortable when he heard this. This Goddess Qihuan seemed to be praising him, but her words had pushed him to the forefront of this storm. What he had done before had attracted a lot of attention. Now Goddess Qihuan had said that he was the most powerful of all the proud heroes of the Shangqing Domain?
A title like that was absolutely not a good thing.
“You honor me too much, senior. The reason I can observe the divine body is due to the specialty of my cultivation. I would not dare call myself the most powerful. There are many other Renhuangs who are much stronger than me,” Ye Futian called up into the sky. Although he knew her name, he did not call her Goddess, opting for “senior” instead.
Laughter like that of a silver bell rang out. The woman descended into the air above Ye Futian, the curtain before her blowing in the wind. Everyone could faintly see a stunning figure lying within. Her eyes seemed able to enchant people’s very souls. She smiled at Ye Futian. Just an ordinary glance from her seemed able to send one into a trance. She made it so that she was the only thing that Ye Futian could see. His consciousness was drawn into the carriage where he beheld her perfect, flawless form.
This woman was no less beautiful than Zhou Lingxi, and she had a more concrete sense of charm about her. Her killing power was greater as well. Everyone appreciates beauty, and cultivators were no different. But they were able to control their appreciation of beauty and would not let their minds to affected. This was especially true for Renhuan level cultivators; they would certainly not sink to that level.
Thus, her beauty was not that enticing for Ye Futian.
“It hurts me to hear you call me that, Emperor Ye,” said the Goddess Qihuan softly. Even her voice seemed to have a mysterious charm to it that would make people fall into reveries.
“You are much older than me, senior, and you have cultivated to a much higher level. That is why I call you senior—to show you respect. Why would you say that I am hurting you?” said Ye Futian casually, looking up at the figure in the sky. He was still calling her “senior” and not “goddess.”
Goddess Qihuan smiled and came out of the carriage, standing before it in the air, wearing a gorgeous red robe. She looked graceful and luxurious. In an instant, she transformed from an alluring woman into a noble Empress, brimming with peerless elegance.
In the instant that she changed her manner, many people would not even dare to look at her.
Ye Futian was surprised. This change had been so quick. She truly was a cultivator of the Palace of the Illusory God.
“If that is what you wish, Emperor Ye, then so be it,” she said with a smile. Her noble atmosphere spread out as her gaze fell upon Ye Futian. In an instant, her form seemed to enter into his mind.
“I have heard of your deeds, Emperor Ye, and I admire you greatly. I wish to become your friend,” continued the Goddess Qihuan, smiling. As her voice reached him, Ye Futian seemed to enter another space, a world of illusion magic.
In this world, there was only him and the Goddess Qihuan.
“Your method of making friends is rather peculiar,” said Ye Futian.
Goddess Qihuan stepped through the air towards Ye Futian until she was right in front of him. “I don’t want the common people of the outside world to disturb us,” she said. “Here there is only you and me. You can confide in me anything you want. How does that sound?”
“We have only just met. Why speak of confiding things in each other?” Ye Futian’s face was impassive as he spoke.
“We may have just met, but I have heard your name for a long time. Why can’t we confide in each other?” Goddess Qihuan stood in front of Ye Futian, staring right into his eyes. At that moment, a powerful will entered into Ye Futian’s mind. Suddenly, many images flashed through his mind, and many of them were images of this woman.
Ye Futian was suddenly incredibly wary. He let loose a burst of a powerful will that cut through everything. It sliced right through the images of Goddes Qihuan in his mind.
Boom!
Everyone outside only saw Ye Futian take a few steps backward, after which he steadied himself and looked up into the air. Goddess Qihuan was still standing there calmly, looking extremely noble.
She grinned down at him and said, “I never thought you would be someone prone to infatuation, Emperor Ye.”
“What power is this?” Ye Futian’s heart trembled. He narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the figure in the air. This Goddess Qihuan was able to invade his willpower and spy into his emotional world.
He had never run into power like this before.
“If you do not mind, I would truly like to become friends with you, Emperor Ye,” continued Goddess Qihuan.
“I do mind,” said Ye Futian coldly. He swept his gaze over her as she stood there in the sky and said, “Since this is only the first time you have offended me, I will not pursue justice in this matter. If there is a next time, the consequences will be on your own head.”
“Huh?” Surprised looks came over everyone’s faces. The situation had changed so quickly!
