Vol2 – Chapter 50 – Empress’ Husband Contest
"Dongfang Liuli, let me tell you a secret."
Above the Imperial Capital, Sister Qiong's red lips parted slightly as she said, "My principle... is the Dao of Space. Thirty thousand years ago, it was personally taught to me by the Master."
"With thirty thousand years of cultivation in the Dao of Space, no one below the Sky-Reaching Realm can stop me."
As her words fell, Sister Qiong snapped her fingers, and the space within a hundred feet around her turned to darkness and collapsed!
She had defined an entire area for long-distance teleportation!
And this was just a thought from Sister Qiong. Her mastery of the Dao of Space had reached its peak. If not for her innate divine longevity and slow progress, with her understanding of space, she would have broken through to the Sky-Reaching Realm long ago.
"The Dao of Space..."
Dongfang Liuli's expression became dazed as she suddenly recalled the time when Sister Qiong had shown genuine emotion, recounting her meeting with the Sword Saint thirty thousand years ago...
Could it be true!?
But Meng Qingzhou was undoubtedly just over twenty years old. How could he have gone back thirty thousand years...
Wait!
Dongfang Liuli thought of a possibility.
"The Dao of Space-Time, if cultivated beyond the Sky-Reaching Realm, could it allow one to traverse the river of time and return to the past?"
Dongfang Liuli's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as Su Qingqiu's anxious call rang in her ears:
"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Ancient Divine City is about to take the Master away! You must find a way to stop her."
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuli said calmly, "You're more anxious than the Empress herself. Are you in such a hurry to become the second wife?"
Su Qingqiu was taken aback, her face turning red as she stammered, trying to explain, but couldn't get a word out.
The citizens of the Imperial Capital, along with the nobility and officials, were drawn to the scene. When they saw the Empress and an unfamiliar woman heading out of the city with such imposing auras, they were stunned.
"What's going on? Another fight? Why can't we have a single peaceful day in Great Jin?"
"That woman is very beautiful, not inferior to the Empress! Why is she here?"
"I think I saw the Empress' Husband. Although I couldn't see his face clearly, the clothes match..."
"I seem to have overheard a vague conversation. The Empress and the unknown woman seem to be... fighting over the Empress' Husband..."
"Huh?? Fighting over the Empress' Husband!?"
"What unknown woman? That's the Lord of the Ancient Divine City! My Old Ancestor once traveled there and accidentally saw her. He's been haunted by her ever since and even painted a picture to hang at home!"
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the Imperial Capital was in an uproar!
In the eastern region of the Wilderness, the two most powerful women, both as beautiful as dreams, were fighting over a man.
How absurd!
Some young men, still full of youthful vigor, saw this scene and clutched their chests in jealousy, feeling short of breath.
"Even if it's the Empress' Husband, I refuse to accept this. I want to rebel just this once!" someone cried out to the sky, "Why!"
.......
Present Village.
The court officials looked at each other, speechless. No one had expected things to develop this way.
"Your Majesty, you must win! Great Jin cannot lose the Empress' Husband, just as Qingqiu cannot lose the Master." Su Qingqiu clasped her hands tightly, silently praying.
Wu Die opened her mouth, finding it childish, but after a moment's thought, she felt a sense of shared sentiment and began to pray as well.
