Chapter 157



157 The river of life, Zi Menghan’s decision

At the blue cloud Peak of the profound heaven sacred land.

Ye Chen’s cave was like a real immortal paradise. The wishful pill cauldron and the thousand treasure furnace each guarded one side. The sky was filled with five-colored light, and the stainless water was flowing with a Pure Aura that could cleanse everything. The chaos Calabash vine had seven crystal Dao flowers, and the hollow Willow was gently dancing by the winding water. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants were covered in smoke, and the clouds were rising.

What was different from the past was that the winding water in the cave abode was dark green in color and was filled with an extremely rich aura of life. It was as if all the life force of the entire world had accumulated here.

[ long River of Life: contains endless life energy. It can revive the dead, regrow flesh and bones, prolong life, nourish all living things, and nourish all living beings. It can also absorb all the energy in the world to strengthen itself. ]

This River of Life was the reward that ye chen had received as li Qingzhou’s master after he had broken through to the Almighty realm.

The newly obtained River of Life was only three hundred meters long. It twisted and turned in ye Chen’s cave, circling around the chaos Gourd Vine and the hollow Willow. At the same time, it also nourished all kinds of exotic flowers and plants in ye Chen’s cave, silently nourishing the origin of all things.

The river of life could absorb all the energy in the world to strengthen itself. In ye Chen’s cave, there were all kinds of Dao runes, and there were even two types of chaotic spirit roots. The river of life could grow quickly.

Ye Chen’s cave was like a small world. Even if the river of life could grow rapidly, it would not be able to rush out of the cave world in a short time.

Looking at the reward of the river of life, ye Chen’s lips curled up slightly.

With the river of life, the chaos Calabash vine and the hollow Willow would grow even faster, which would be a great help to ye chen.

As for li Qingzhou, ye chen didn’t pay him any attention for the time being.

Li Qingzhou had single-handedly destroyed the entire silver-blood demon race and even killed four demon lords. This was enough to show how terrifying his combat power was.

Although li Qingzhou had been hit by the great day demon clan’s demonic Sun Soul seal, and would definitely be targeted by them, ye chen was not worried about his safety. He could use the great day demon clan to train Li Qingzhou.

No matter how much the great sun demon race valued li Qingzhou, they would only send a Dao severing demon venerable to deal with li Qingzhou. They weren’t qualified to ask the demon saint to do it. Li Qingzhou could deal with it himself.

Moreover, ye chen had secretly left a puppet incarnation on li Qingzhou’s body. Even if li Qingzhou were to encounter an unrivaled danger, the puppet incarnation would be enough to help him.

In addition, ye chen had the hollow Willow, and his real body could appear in front of li Qingzhou at any time, so there was nothing to worry about.

After li Qingzhou was hit by the demonic Sun Soul seal, he did not return to the mountain. Instead, he chose to go deep into the demon world, which surprised ye chen a lot. He was very satisfied with li Qingzhou’s steadiness. He would naturally not watch li Qingzhou die in the demon world.

Ye chen checked on the situation of his disciples, and at the same time, he sent a few puppet incarnations to walk around the world to look for other strange fortunes. His main body once again sank into a deep level of Dao Comprehension.

His Dao master tribulation was not far away.

The profound heavenly sacred land’s Foundation had grown much stronger.

Old ancestor Yunxiao summoned the Dao severing Heavenly Tribulation with his rotten body and used the power of the heavenly Tribulation to cut off his own rotten body and transform into a true self Dao body. Furthermore, old ancestor Yunxiao had used the opportunity of cutting off his own body to break through the blockade of the great Dao and stepped into the Dao severing realm. His lifespan had been greatly extended and his body’s vitality was infinite. He had reached an unprecedented peak state.

With the breakthrough of the cloud sky forefather, the profound sky Holy Land’s reputation in the East continent had become even more prominent. It had overshadowed the other Holy Lands and attracted a large number of genius disciples.

Unfortunately, ye chen still couldn’t find any new luck from these disciples.

……

Zi Wei Empire, Imperial City, Yun Xiang Palace where Concubine Yun was.

The entire Yunxiang Palace was simply a cluster of palaces. It occupied an area of several dozen li and was shrouded in a layer of light purple mist. Auspicious clouds floated in the void, and several immortal cranes soared among the clouds. Jade Trees gave off smoke, and immortal puppets were everywhere. It was like a small world of cultivation.

Ever since Zi Menghan’s return, consort Yun’s status had risen greatly. Imperial Lord Zi Wei had rewarded her with many spirit pills, divine weapons, and other items. She had even built a new palace for consort Yun, making many concubines envious.

In the back garden of Yunxiang Palace, consort Yun and Zi Menghan were enjoying the flowers together.

Consort Yun had the cultivation of the primordial soul realm. Although she was over fifty years old, she did not look old at all. She and Zi Menghan were like sisters traveling together.

Consort Yun stopped in a Pavilion and looked at Zi Menghan. Her eyes were still in a daze as she sighed, ” “Menghan, your return is like a dream to your mother. Your transformation has far exceeded your mother’s imagination.”

Zi Menghan had a smile on her face and a look of reminiscence could be seen in her eyes. She said softly, ” “I was born with a crippled body. If it wasn’t for mother’s support back then, I wouldn’t have my current achievements. In addition, this child’s little achievement really isn’t much.”

Consort Yun smiled and said,”you’re really humble, child!” You’ve passed nine levels in the nine Heavens realm tower, which is a feat that many princes can’t do. Your status in the Ziwei Empire is no less than any of the princes!”

“Fame and fortune are like fleeting clouds and smoke. If it wasn’t for the fact that my father was planning to let me marry the descendant of Saint mu, I wouldn’t have bothered to go through the nine great heavenly passes.” Zi Menghan replied calmly.

From Zi Menghan’s point of view, her current achievements were like the difference between cloud and mud when compared to her master. However, she knew her master’s steady personality and did not want to expose him. Hence, she did not talk too much about it.

Consort Yun knew that Zi Menghan’s childhood experiences had a great impact on her, creating her cold and indifferent personality. She advised softly, ” the Zi Wei Empire follows the rule of ‘cultivators must compete’. The competition is especially intense in the royal family.

how much talent and potential do you have to obtain the corresponding resources and power? ”

“When you found out that you were born with a crippled body, you suffered unimaginable grievances. Mother understands it all.”

“Now that you’ve shown enough talent, you’ve won the respect of many forces. You can take back everything that belongs to you. It’s just that you’ve recently rejected all invitations and returned all the gifts, which has caused many people to be dissatisfied.”

“If this continues, I’m afraid it won’t be good for your future development.”

“Only by making early preparations can we go further.”

After Zi Menghan passed through the nine heavenly barriers, there were many forces in the Zi Wei imperial court that were trying to get on her good side.

However, Zi Menghan turned a blind eye to their goodwill. She rejected many of the valuable gifts sent by her mother’s clan and refused to attend any social gatherings. This caused many forces to be rather critical.

After all, those who came to express their goodwill to Zi Menghan were all powerful ministers, pillars of the country, princes of the Empire, and even some of the elders of Zi Menghan’s mother. However, they were all rejected by Zi Menghan. Naturally, there were people who were dissatisfied and thought that Zi Menghan was arrogant.

Of course, they did not know that Zi Menghan’s target had never been the Zi Wei Empire!

One’s vision determined one’s outlook!

Zi Menghan had followed ye chen to cultivate and had come into contact with the source of the great Dao. She deeply understood that ye Chen’s power was unfathomable. She knew that ye Chen’s achievements would not be limited by the East barren. She only wanted to follow her master’s footsteps.

As for the many social activities in the Zi Wei Empire, they were all hidden schemes and she had no interest in them at all.

Hearing consort Yun’s consoling words, Zi Menghan shook her head gently and said casually, ” I’m dedicated to Dao and have no interest in fighting for fame and fortune. I don’t want to waste my time on such a small matter.

Consort Yun took a deep breath, and her eyes flickered as she sighed, ” “In the Zi Wei Empire, even if you’re not interested in fighting for fame and fortune, you can’t avoid it in the future.”

“My mother’s clan isn’t very powerful. When you fight with the other princes in the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to give you much help.”

“Although Saint mu is strong, his life is coming to an end. Even if you are on good terms with him, I’m afraid he won’t be able to protect you for long. Even if you don’t like to socialize, you should still make friends with others.”

Zi Menghan had rejected all the social events and had personally paid a visit to Saint mu, who was nearing the end of his life. This made consort Yun very puzzled.

Zi Menghan looked at the flowing clouds in the sky. Her clear eyes were calm as she said in a calm tone, ” “Mother, I did not visit Mu Sheng because I wanted to borrow his strength. I only wanted to admire the great sacrifice he has made for the people of our Empire.”

moreover, I have no intention of competing with the other princes. I won’t be staying in the Imperial court for too long anyway.

“I came here today to bid my farewells to mother. I’m preparing to head to Imperial College to take a look and then return to xuantian sacred land.”

Imperial College had already sent an invitation to Zi Menghan, inviting her to cultivate and tour the Imperial College so that she could enjoy the highest treatment.

In order to accompany her mother, Zi Menghan had not gone there.

Now that she had accompanied her mother for several months and saw that her mother was well, she was prepared to go to Imperial College to take a look.

Although Imperial College’s comprehension couldn’t be compared to blue cloud Peak, Imperial College was the crystallization of the wisdom of the Ziwei Empire’s sages and had its own unique points. Going to Imperial College to take a look could greatly enrich her knowledge and help her perfect the freedom visualization Heart Sutra.

After she finished touring Imperial College, Zi Menghan was prepared to return to the blue cloud Peak.

Compared to the infighting in the Zi Wei Empire, Zi Menghan preferred the freedom of the blue cloud Peak.

“You still want to return to the profound heavenly sacred land?”

Consort Yun was slightly stunned, her eyes full of surprise. “The Ziwei Empire has a deep foundation, and now that you’ve shown endless potential, the Empire will definitely favor you with resources. How can the profound sky sacred land compare? Why should I return to the profound heavenly sacred land?”

Zi Menghan’s gaze shifted to consort Yun and she said seriously, ” “The Ziwei Empire’s heritage is indeed profound, but it’s still not enough for an innate cripple like me to cultivate. The profound heavenly sacred land can. Although the profound heaven sacred land isn’t as profound as the Ziwei Empire, there are still some aspects that the Ziwei Empire doesn’t have.”

Naturally, consort Yun could not bear to see Zi Menghan leave and wanted to persuade her further. However, after seeing Zi Menghan’s expression, she understood that it would be useless to persuade her further.”You’re all grown up now. If you have any ideas, just do it. You don’t have to worry about mother. I just hope that you won’t regret it in the future.”

Consort Yun knew Zi Menghan’s personality and did not ask her to stay.

She knew that once Zi Menghan had made up her mind, it would be useless even if she opened her mouth.

“I know my choice better than anyone else.” Zi Menghan nodded and did not say much about the blue cloud Peak.

Consort Yun nodded slightly. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and reminded him, ” “That’s right, ever since you passed the nine heavenly passes, your father left the nine Heavens realm tower in Imperial College. Any heaven’s pride expert who has reached the Almighty realm can go and pass the passes. However, no one had been able to pass all nine. There are some heaven’s favorites who think there’s something fishy about you passing the nine heavenly barriers and are not convinced by you. If you head to Imperial College, you will probably encounter a lot of trouble.”

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t want to cause trouble, but I’m never afraid of trouble.” Zi Menghan did not take it to heart.

She had even killed a demon venerable at the peak of the Dao severing realm, so why would she care about the provocation of the proud Children of Heaven in Imperial College?

Zi Menghan and consort Yun chatted for a while more before she stood up and took her leave. She then placed an inch-long white jade porcelain bottle in consort Yun’s hand and said softly, ” “Mother, I’m going to head to Imperial College now. I can’t use these cultivation resources for the time being, so I’ll leave them to mother.”

Consort Yun pushed the white jade porcelain bottle towards Zi Menghan and said with a smile, ” “Your mother understands your intentions. There’s no lack of cultivation resources in the Imperial Palace. On the contrary, you’ll need a large amount of cultivation resources for your cultivation. You’d better keep these cultivation resources for yourself.”

Zi Menghan shook her head gently. mother, I’ve only given you a small portion. I have more cultivation resources with me. Mother, you can keep these cultivation resources. In any case, they’re just ordinary items. If Imperial mother doesn’t like them, you can just give them to anyone.”

“In that case, I’ll stay. No matter how valuable it is, your mother understands your intentions.”

With a smile on her face, consort Yun casually sent her spiritual sense into the White jade porcelain bottle. When she saw what was in the bottle, she was stunned before she could finish her sentence. Her eyes widened and her mind was shocked beyond words.

The white jade porcelain bottle contained a huge space filled with all kinds of precious treasures, most of which even consort Yun had only heard of but never seen before.

There were nearly a hundred ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. They were full of life and exuded a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

There were dozens of bottles of all kinds of elixirs, and every kind of elixir was precious and difficult to find even for Concubine Yun. Some of them were even extremely attractive to Dao Lord realm cultivators.

There were hundreds of numinous treasures, including a Supreme-grade numinous treasure and three superior-grade numinous treasures!

As for the other divine ores and rare treasures, there were countless of them!

Consort Yun was completely stunned. Even the most handsome princes of the Zi Wei Empire would only have this much in stock, let alone a concubine like her who was not favored.

After a long time, consort Yun finally regained her senses. She looked straight at Zi Menghan and said in disbelief, ” “You call this an ordinary thing?”

it’s not that rare indeed. I don’t need most of them anymore. Zi Menghan nodded.

you … consort Yun was speechless. you didn’t steal everything from the Treasury, did you? ”

Zi Menghan shook her head and laughed. I don’t have to steal from the xuantian sacred land’s Treasury. Some of these cultivation resources were given to me by master, while some were obtained by me. Mother, you can take care of them with ease.

“No!” Consort Yun replied solemnly. These things are too precious, it would be a waste to give them to me! On the contrary, you need these cultivation resources more. You can take them all back!”

Zi Menghan was speechless. She waved her hand and a mountain of treasures appeared in the palace. There were several Supreme-grade spirit treasures, even half-Saint weapons, and countless 10000-year-old spirit herbs and white radishes. It was too much for consort Yun to take in.

Then, Zi Menghan waved her hand and kept all the cultivation resources. She said helplessly, ” mother, you should have seen it as well. I really don’t lack these cultivation resources. You can take them without worry.

Zi Menghan had once destroyed the Sky High School’s heavenly suppression Tiger and collected countless treasures. When she returned to the Ziwei Empire, ye chen had also rewarded her with many precious treasures. She really did not lack these.

Consort Yun was dumbfounded. After a long time, she heaved a sigh of relief and said with emotion, ” “Alright, mother will keep it. Your mother can’t see through you now. You can make your own decision in the future. Your mother will not interfere with you anymore.”

Zi Menghan didn’t stay here for too long. After leaving a large amount of cultivation resources for consort Yun, she bade her farewell and left, hurrying in the direction of Imperial College.
