Chapter 20 The Might of the Heavenly Court! Ruler of the Nine Heavens!
A hint of helplessness flashed in Shui Bing'er's eyes.
"In the Canglan Sect, even in the places where the menial disciples live, the concentration of spiritual energy is more than a thousand times that here."
"This place... is too barren."
"It's like a fish out of water trying to cultivate immortality techniques; it's much less effective."
"..."
Shui Yu'er nodded as if she understood, then excitedly asked:
"Sis, so now that you're back, are you not leaving again?"
"And is that Heavenly Court really that powerful?"
The words "Heavenly Court" were mentioned.
A deep sense of awe, and a hint of longing that she herself was unaware of, were revealed in Shui Bing'er's eyes.
"It's impossible not to leave."
Having witnessed such a world, who would want to stay in this quagmire?
She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the not-so-bright moon in the sky.
"As for the Heavenly Court..."
"I heard about it from my senior sisters in the Canglan Sect."
"That is the supreme power that rules over all the heavens and myriad worlds."
"That Heavenly Emperor is an absolute being throughout the ages; he could crush our world with a single finger."
"I heard that Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall is now working as a maid in the Heavenly Emperor Palace."
Shui Bing'er's voice was filled with envy.
Shui Yu'er nodded, "That Qian Renxue is so arrogant, yet she's willing to be a maid."
You don't understand.
Shui Bing'er shook her head, the image of the man whose mere silhouette was enough to suppress all ages flashing through her mind.
"If I could enter the Heavenly Court, even if I were just a janitor sweeping the floor, it would be a blessing earned over several lifetimes."
"Qian Renxue... she's really lucky."
"I wonder when I will be qualified to have an audience with that Heavenly Emperor..."
A seed of longing was planted in the girl's heart.
...
At the same time.
The Heavenly Court, a dimension that shrouds the heavens.
Unlike the scheming and life-or-death battles of Douluo Continent.
This place exudes a peaceful and ethereal atmosphere.
Beneath the enormous peach tree, Gu Changsheng leaned against a couch covered with the fur of a divine beast.
He held a cup of celestial wine brewed from ten-thousand-year-old spiritual essence in his hand, and gently swirled it.
Beside him, several exquisitely beautiful maids dressed in flowing gauze dresses were carefully peeling glistening purple grapes and feeding them to his lips.
Those grapes were no ordinary grapes; each one contained a vast amount of life essence. If placed in Douluo Continent, they would be enough to ignite a life-or-death battle between titled Douluo.
Here, however, it was just a snack that Gu Changsheng casually mentioned.
"The flavor is a bit bland."
Gu Changsheng ate one and frowned slightly.
"This servant will go and get a new batch right away."
The maid was so frightened that she turned pale and immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
"It's alright."
Gu Changsheng waved his hand, not caring.
Deep within the Heavenly Court, clouds and mist swirl.
"Having heard that Brother Gu single-handedly destroyed the forbidden zone, I specially brought some holy water from Yaochi to congratulate you. Why does Brother Gu refuse to see me?"
A charming voice broke the tranquility beneath the peach tree.
Ripples spread across the void, and before anyone could be seen, a faint fragrance wafted through the air.
Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in a light gold palace gown walked out gracefully.
Her skirt swayed gently with her steps, and occasionally, a slit would reveal a breathtaking glimpse of snow-white skin.
Those legs were long and straight, with delicate, jade-like skin, appearing and disappearing in the mist, exuding an alluring charm that made one's blood boil.
The newcomer was none other than Yu Xi from Yaochi.
She was extremely beautiful, especially her peach blossom eyes, which seemed to hold a thousand charms and countless words as they flowed like water.
"Yu Xi, how have you been?"
Gu Changsheng didn't even lift his eyelids, continuing to play with the jade cup in his hand, his expression nonchalant.
Yu Xi didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight to Gu Changsheng's side. She leaned in softly, her breath almost touching Gu Changsheng's ear.
"Brother Gu, you are so heartless. You haven't gone to Yaochi to see her for so long."
"Could it be that with these three thousand beauties in the Heavenly Court, you've forgotten your old flame?"
Gu Changsheng smiled helplessly and moved his body to the side.
This woman isn't here to see him; she's clearly lusting after his body.
This Yu Xi is a primordial Dao embryo.
If the two are combined, they can give birth to the legendary supreme physique—the innate sacred body Dao embryo.
That wretched big black dog, a descendant of the Black Emperor, kept nagging in Gu Changsheng's ear all day long.
They said it was for the future of humanity and for the inheritance of the Great Emperor, and they couldn't wait to lock the two of them into the bridal chamber immediately.
They even secretly prepared several large vats of those ancient medicines to enhance the atmosphere.
"..."
Seeing Gu Changsheng dodge, Yu Xi became even bolder, extending her slender fingers to gently draw circles on Gu Changsheng's chest.
Her eyes burned with desire, making no attempt to hide it.
"Brother Gu, the Dark Turmoil is imminent, and the various forbidden zones are stirring with malice."
"If we can give birth to an innate holy body Dao embryo, with careful nurturing for a hundred years, it will surely become the next great emperor of our time."
"At that time, this dark age will end, and humanity will be restored to a bright and clear world."
As she spoke, Yu Xi's voice revealed a hint of seriousness and expectation.
She really wanted to have the baby.
For the sake of the sect, and for the sake of all living beings under heaven.
Of course, it's also for the man in front of her, the man who makes countless proud women fall at his feet.
Gu Changsheng grabbed her mischievous fingers and gently pushed them away.
He stood up, his gaze piercing through the layers of clouds, looking towards the deep, boundless starry sky.
His lips curled up slightly, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
"If the world needs my son to save it, what use is my seven-foot body?"
"I too can become an emperor."
"I, Gu Changsheng, will end this dark age!"
"..."
His tone was calm, yet it exuded an air of domineering power.
Yu Xi stared blankly at that figure, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.
This is the man she has her eye on.
...
After seeing Yu Xi off, who kept turning back to look at him, Gu Changsheng rubbed his temples.
This woman is too difficult to deal with.
It would be much easier to visit those pets than to deal with these saintesses who want to breed with their babies.
Behind the Heavenly Court, in the Beast Garden.
This used to be the territory of that big black dog.
Gu Changsheng arrived with his hands behind his back, stepping through the void.
Even before he landed, a vast and abyss-like aura naturally emanated, enveloping the entire mountain range.
"Greetings, Emperor Gu!"
"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"
"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!!"
The heavenly soldiers and generals who were originally guarding the beast garden, as well as the servants and disciples who were cleaning, instantly knelt down like wheat being harvested.
Everyone's face was filled with fervor and reverence, their heads buried deep in the ground, unable to look directly at the face of the heavens.
Um?
Gu Changsheng's gaze shifted slightly as he looked towards a spiritual spring in the corner of the beast garden.
There, a young girl dressed in a beautiful silk dress was carefully feeding a small, jet-black puppy a bright red fruit.
The girl was Ning Rongrong.
And that puppy is a direct descendant of that shameless Black Emperor.
"Sweetie, eat more."
While feeding the dog, Ning Rongrong reached out and stroked its head with her little hand.
