Chapter 68 The Western Emperor's Gift of Treasures, Ye Chen's Confession
Ancient and forbidden land.
At the bottom of the abyss, surrounded by nine sacred mountains, chaotic mist surged like a tide.
The figure of the Western Emperor stepped out from the void, and the Immortal Tear Green Gold Pagoda gently floated above her head, sprinkling thousands of rays of light.
She didn't investigate the Empress, but instead looked at a figure sitting cross-legged on the sacred mountain.
That was Ye Chen's spiritual body.
He is currently closing his eyes to regulate his breathing, but his aura is slowly receding, indicating that he is exiting his cultivation state.
"You've arrived?"
Ye Chen's tone was unusually calm.
When he was at the Dragon Transformation Pool, he saw the old woman in gray completely revive the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda, and he guessed her identity.
Looking at that familiar face, the Western Emperor felt a mix of emotions.
That was the face of the Eastern Emperor, the aura of the Eastern Emperor, and even the composure in his eyes was exactly the same as it had been back then.
But she knew that this was not the Eastern Emperor.
At least, not entirely.
"I brought you some things from the Primordial Ancient Mine and the Divine Ruins."
The Western Emperor walked to the stone platform, knelt down, and sat down without any airs of an emperor.
She took out three Primordial Life Stones, a Chaos Immortal Essence the size of a washbasin, and three Immortal Peaches from the Sea of Bitterness.
These were originally what she asked for on behalf of Ye Chen.
The appearance of these three supreme treasures made the atmosphere of the entire desolate forbidden land even fresher.
In particular, the mist emanating from the Chaos Immortal Essence was churning violently, as if it were paying homage to Ye Chen.
"The Primordial Stone?"
Ye Chenling raised an eyebrow slightly.
He could sense that those three palm-sized stones contained some kind of secret to immortality, a life-saving treasure that even the supreme beings of the forbidden zones would covet, but unfortunately, he couldn't comprehend it at the moment.
"The Corpse Emperor, the Myriad Dragon Emperor, and the Golden Ancient Emperor each contribute one piece."
"This piece of Chaos Immortal Essence will also be useful to your Chaos Body, and it can be used to refine an ultimate imperial weapon in the future."
"As for the three Immortal Peaches that you received as compensation from the Divine Ruins, you can give them to your relatives and friends if you don't need them yourself."
The Western Emperor pushed the three supreme treasures in front of him, speaking in an exceptionally casual tone.
"Did you negotiate terms with them?"
Ye Chen's spirit body looked at the treasure before him and remained silent for a few moments.
"We talked."
The Western Emperor made no attempt to conceal anything.
"They sent men with imperial weapons to surround and kill you; you'll have to bleed."
"Otherwise, once the ruthless person emerges from seclusion, the two of us can take action together, and what they'll have to pay isn't treasure, but their lives."
The Western Emperor answered calmly.
She has always been uncompromising when it comes to matters concerning the Eastern Emperor, especially with the Empress as her ally.
"Western Emperor, is there something you want to ask me?"
Ye Chen stored the treasure in the Sea of Bitterness.
He raised his head to look at the Western Emperor. His eyes showed neither unfamiliarity nor familiarity with the Western Emperor, but only a calm understanding.
The Western Emperor remained silent for a long time.
She was so nervous that her fingers clenched slightly.
So long that the chaotic mist almost condensed into water droplets, so long that the Western Emperor Tower stopped shaking.
"do you remember me?"
The Western Emperor finally asked the question.
Her voice was very soft, so soft that it didn't sound like that of an emperor, but more like that of a little girl.
Ye Chen's spiritual body did not answer immediately.
He looked into the eyes of the Western Emperor, and saw a mixture of expectation and trepidation in them.
There is also an emotion that has been suppressed for millennia.
"I actually had a pretty good idea of what was going on; you and I were probably husband and wife back then."
"The father of the Great Emperor Wushi is the Eastern Emperor, and the Black Emperor calls me his old master."
"Both the Black Emperor and the incomplete Eastern Emperor Zhong believe I am the Eastern Emperor; they certainly wouldn't mistake me for someone else."
Ye Chen's spirit slowly spoke.
"Did you just guess?"
The Western Emperor's eyes dimmed for a moment.
She felt terrible and even wanted to question Ye Chen, this "scumbag," but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Although Donghuang is also called Ye Chen, Ye Chen is not just Donghuang.
"I only regained my brother Empress's memories."
"Perhaps it's because the time I spent with my sister was relatively short, enough for me to process at my current level."
"I am Ye Chen, and I am also Ye Chen from that small mountain village, the little girl's brother."
Ye Chenling spoke frankly.
He can't very well say that no personal simulations have been conducted yet.
They probably don't even know who Xihuang is.
It is an indisputable fact that simulators are now being applied to reality.
"I'm sorry, I have absolutely no memories of Donghuang right now."
"But I can sense that there is some kind of causal bond between us."
Ye Chen immediately added.
When he looked at the Western Emperor, he felt a faint sense of reunion after a long separation, and it was not just a thrill of lust at first sight.
"I knew it would turn out like this."
"When you passed away, you said that you might forget everything after reincarnation."
"It's enough that you can sense me."
The Western Emperor's fingers gradually loosened.
She smiled faintly, but with a hint of relief. At worst, she would just wait for Ye Chen to regain his memories.
"These things are for you; you must carefully study and understand them."
"Strive to become an emperor as soon as possible and restore the memories belonging to the Eastern Emperor. Don't make me wait too long, or I will force myself on you."
The Western Emperor gave a "kind" smile.
If she weren't outmatched by the Ruthless Great Emperor, she would have already abducted Ye Chen to the Yaochi Holy Land.
"Western Emperor, you actually don't intend to let me let the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone go, do you?"
Ye Chen slowly stood up.
The Western Emperor brought three supreme treasures, but made no mention of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, clearly indicating that he had no intention of giving up.
Perhaps she is waiting, waiting for her ally, the Empress, to awaken, or waiting for herself to grow stronger before delivering a fatal blow to the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.
Perhaps she is waiting, waiting for her ally, the Empress, to awaken, or waiting for herself to grow stronger before delivering a fatal blow to the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.
"I never intended to call a truce."
"They sent men with imperial weapons to surround and kill you; this debt cannot be left unpaid."
"The Primordial Life Stone and the Immortal Peaches are merely interest; the principal must be repaid with their lives."
The Western Emperor's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Her voice was so cold that the surrounding chaotic mist froze into ice crystals.
"Once you become emperor, we'll settle all the old and new scores together."
The Western Emperor was not entirely confident.
However, those who offend the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone are destined for destruction.
"That's good."
I'm afraid you'll be soft-hearted.
Ye Chen nodded.
To be honest, she's no wonder he chose her; she has a rather ruthless aura.
"Back when you killed those two strange and remnant immortals, I didn't see you show any mercy."
"After reincarnation, you even forgot my own personality?"
The Western Emperor scoffed.
After saying that, she turned to leave, unsure how to face Ye Chen.
"Western Emperor, wait a moment."
"I have a few cultivation techniques for you that can help you transform into a mortal immortal."
Ye Chenling called out to her.
He passed on all the imperial scriptures he had mastered to the Western Emperor.
Although he didn't know if the Western Emperor possessed these imperial scriptures, he still sent them out.
"I'm almost living my fourth life."
"Although he can't compare to the Ruthless Emperor, he's not bad compared to you back then."
The Western Emperor readily accepted Ye Chen's gift.
Among them are the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art of the Ruthless Great Emperor, as well as the complete Daoist scriptures of the Moral Celestial Venerable, which may help her comprehend the Dao and thus live another life.
Only if the Western Emperor is powerful enough can he travel to the strange world and help the Great Emperor Wushi kill the Immortal of the Mortal World.
Donghuang once said,
There is a small amount of longevity material there.
If you really can't survive, fight your way into a strange world to live.
However, the presence of native immortals in this strange world also poses a significant threat.
Therefore, in order to escape, the Eastern Emperor specially developed the Rainbow Transformation Technique.
This is a stealth technique that is no less powerful than the "Xing Zi Mi" (行字秘).
With this escape technique, even if one encounters a celestial being, it's not certain that they could stop her.
That's good.
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Therefore, it is certain that the Western Emperor, who knew about the Path to Immortality in the Mortal World, was one of his wives.
"If you need help, you can come to the Yaochi Holy Land to find me, or you can notify the Yaochi Holy Maiden."
"I will leave this spiritual body in the holy land."
As the Western Emperor finished speaking...
She had already torn through the void and disappeared into the desolate forbidden land.
The empress below glanced at her, then continued her next stage of cultivation with Ye Chen.
