“What should I do?”
Jiang Chen obviously would not shirk from this responsibility because this was the reason why he’d come here. Moreover, it was Lil Meng Xian who’d requested it.
“Teacher, you have probably noticed the Mysterious Crystals outside, haven’t you?” the Empyrean Goddess asked.
“What?”
The Empyrean Goddess continued, “I have taken precautions against the occurrence of situations similar to what happened today, and I can use the Mysterious Crystals to raise your power.”
“Was it only for this?” Jiang Chen didn’t believe that the reason behind all of this was so simple.
“Later, you will fuse with the bamboo house’s Gods’ power and get into a divine state.”
After the Empyrean Goddess spoke, she smiled and asked, “Teacher, do you know who the divine power present here corresponds to?”
“Is it me?” Jiang Chen asked.
“You have answered correctly,” the Empyrean Goddess laughed happily and said, “Teacher, you can use the Natural Law’s Will to carry out the Sovereign Spirit’s reincarnation plan, while I can borrow the Gods’ power.”
“Why do you know everything?”
Jiang Chen didn’t expect that she would know even the Sovereign Spirits’ plan. This shouldn’t have been possible because when he started this plan, a long time had already passed since the Empyrean Goddess had shattered the void.
“Is it possible that the Divine Will could communicate with the outside world and learn both the past and the future?”
“Mysteries of heaven mustn’t be divulged,” the Empyrean Goddess didn’t answer Jiang Chen’s doubts.
“Even if I use the Gods’ power, I won’t manage to use my divine power as normal because the Xuanhuan Realm is already shattered to pieces,” Jiang Chen said.
“The worldly rules within the bamboo house are the same as the intact Xuanhuan Realm,” the Empyrean Woman said.
Jiang Chen was startled by this. “How strong was Lil Meng Xiao, and which realm level had she reached?”
According to what he had seen, it seemed as if the Empyrean Goddess had foreseen this day’s events from the beginning.
“It’s a complex matter, and, if I start talking about it, I won’t finish explaining it even after three whole days and nights. Teacher, let’s first handle our proper business,” the Empyrean Goddess said.
“Okay!” Jiang Chen was aware that the Empyrean Goddess was consuming the scarce Gods’ power to have this conversation with him.
“If I don’t manage to kill the Great Demon Lord and I fail, will all the Demon Lords escape?” Jiang Chen suddenly thought about this.
The Empyrean Goddess nodded at him.
“It seems as if I must save the world again,” Jiang Chen sighed with emotion. He didn’t really feel such a great pressure was weighing upon his shoulders because if he failed, he would also die, and it would mean that he had done his best.
“Let’s begin,” the Empyrean Goddess exclaimed.
“Bring it on!”
After the Empyrean Goddess had gotten a positive response, she started carrying out what she had just suggested.
Ying Ying, Cao Ze, and the other people outside were quite anxious because a long time had already passed. No matter what was happening within the bamboo house, it should’ve come to an end by now.
At this moment, they noticed that the lake around the island was going through a transformation. It had originally been serene without any ripples, and now waves had started raging in it and its water gathered in the center.
After a short while, a giant whirlpool appeared and a loud, rumbling sound emanated from the water. It was like the lake bed had been penetrated by something.
“What is going on?”
Ying Ying, Cao Ze, and the others couldn’t figure out what was going on.
However, soon a disciple of the Demon Slayers Palace had a reaction, and he rushed at the whirlpool at full speed.
“Ma Fei, what are you doing?” Cao Ze shouted sharply upon seeing one of his men taking action of his own accord.
Me Fei rolled his eyes and said excitedly, “Senior brother Cao, Mysterious Crystals are liquified in the water, and they’re being drawn toward a certain place.”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, Ying Ying and his companions couldn’t sit calmly, and they rushed to the lake. When they observed it attentively with their Holy Awareness, they discovered that it was really as Ma Fei had said.
When Cao Ze put a piece of Mysterious Crystal in the water, it stopped flickering and shone brightly.
“How did you figure this out?” Cao Ze looked at his unusual fellow disciple. He was quite confused.
Ma Fei was stumped by this question, and he couldn’t say anything for a long while.
“Who cares? They are taking away Mysterious Crystals in front of me as if I’m not here, aren’t they?” Ying Ying flew into a rage and used his whole body’s power to force the lake’s water to flow backward.
Murong Yanran ran over anxiously and said, “Wait for a moment, you should think about what Xuan Qing said. If it’s really like what she said, then this transformation has occurred in preparation for something, and, if we make any grave mistakes, how are we going to deal with it?”
Those words were reasonable, and when the people turned their heads around to take a look, they saw that intense energy ripples had appeared on the whole island.
It was obvious that the Mysterious Crystals had been refined and sent to the island. Strictly speaking, they had been sent to the bamboo house.
“Humph, who knew whether this was just a story Xuan Qing came up with to take everything with Jiang Chen? If there were really any dangers, wouldn’t she look for Martial Saints experts like us? Why would she place her hope in a Martial Emperor?”
Xia Jiang had a great prejudice against Jiang Chen, and this was why he had completely lost his ability to think rationally.
“The Mysterious Crystals will shortly be refined completely,” Ma Fei shouted frustratedly because no one was able to make up their minds.
“I don’t care about anything. I can become a Martial Sovereign with those Mysterious Crystals, and then demons and ghosts won’t faze me.”
The impetuous Ying Ying was the first person to make a move. He used a great magical ability that made the lake’s water violate physical laws, and it was forcefully raised by him into the air.
However the Empyrean Goddess had taken precautions against this, and, when the plan was about to be ruined, a water dragon used Ying Ying’s power to soar into the sky, and it charged at Ying Ying.
Ying Ying was startled. This was just a dragon made out of the water, but its might wasn’t any weaker than berserk forces such as lightning and fire.
Heavy injuries were instantly inflicted upon Ying Ying, and, as a loud rumbling sound echoed, the lake’s water fell down again.
“What a selfish person,” the Empyrean Goddess in the bamboo house shook her head.
Jiang Chen didn’t say anything in regard to this incident because he was completely engrossed in the plan mentioned by the Empyrean Goddess.
The Gods’ power in the bamboo house didn’t attack Jiang Chen. Instead, it fused with him, and this was a matter only Jiang Chen could achieve.
“Empyrean Ancestor!”
Xuan Qing was still confused, and she raised a question about what she was concerned the most about.
“You want to know a way to simulate the Heavenly Bestowal Woman’s bloodline?” the Empyrean Goddess blurted out what was on Xuan Qing’s mind.
“That’s right,” Xuan Qing nodded.
“Who has informed you that the Heavenly Bestowal Woman’s power could be passed down through the bloodline,” the Empyrean Goddess questioned her.
“Everything about apex experts is passed down to the next generation, and, if it wasn’t inherited by the next generation, it may be inherited by some of the later generations. It’s because blood is thicker than water, and familial ties will never be severed,” Xuan Qing said excitedly.
If the Heavenly Bestowal Woman’s power couldn’t be passed down, then what were the Empyrean Goddess’s descendants waiting for for so many years?
Moreover, what were the experts that married the Empyrean Goddess’s descendants coveting?
“Even if we take a step back and believe that it’s true, I have never gotten married to anyone, and I didn’t give birth to any children.”
It seemed as the Empyrean Goddess was playing a prank on Xuan Qing, and her every word was challenging Xuan Qing’s mind.
“Xuan Yu and Xuan Tian were adopted by me, and their achievements weren’t related to me. They depended on themselves,” the Empyrean Goddess continued.
Xuan Qing felt as if she had been hit by a lightning bolt and her vision went dark. She almost passed out.
It had been recorded in the Xuan family history that Xian Yu and Xuan Tian were the generations left by the Empyrean Goddess, and all of the current descendants of the Empyrean Goddess were their descendants.
In the end, they had been adopted!
SPLUTTER!
Xuan Qing spit out a mouthful of blood and fell down on the ground.
