Chapter 602 - Did She Really Like Me? (1/2)

…

After Ye Xiao arrived outside, he very quickly started to make the Blood Venerable One and Qilin King statues.

He was prepared to place the two of them in the south and north respectively.

The north was close to the Xuanhuang Great World. If the other party were to attack again, at least one of them would be able to defend the Xuan Yuan god clan.

The other reason why he was close to the south was to maintain a balance.

However, Ye Xiao felt that if he were to find an opportunity in the future, he should set up two more in the east and west. That would require him to capture two more Supreme Eternals, skin them, grind their bones, scatter their ashes, extract their souls, and then make a statue.

Of course, Ye Xiao was still very intelligent. He knew that if he were to leave them alone, they would definitely not be honest.

If they were to come up with the idea of wanting to escape, it would be a huge problem for him.

Hence, he thought of a good method.

He used materials to forge a body that was comparable to an Immortal Artifact. As it was an Immortal Artifact, it could withstand the Supreme Eternal’s divine soul.

Then, he would carve an array on it. That way, he could complete the functions of defense, absorbing spiritual energy, attacking, and many other aspects.

Usually, the two of them would be suppressed by him at the foot of the Xuan Yuan Mountain. Once he discovered that there was an enemy invasion, he could instantly teleport the two of them over in an instant.

Furthermore, he would set a certain restriction time for the two of them. When the time was up, the two of them would be teleported back again.

That way, he could ensure that the two of them would not escape!

Perfect!

With the help of the immortal laws, Ye Xiao quickly took care of those two Immortal Artifact-level statues.

One was in the form of a qilin, and the other was in the form of the Blood Venerable One.

Ye Xiao had even specially set up a general switch on it, allowing him to easily control the two of them, making it impossible for the two of them to go against his wishes.

However, after he was done with all of that, he suddenly saw a few members of the Phoenix god clan grabbing hold of a phoenix.

That phoenix’s body was filled with a bloodthirsty aura. It was very obvious that he was one of the members of the Phoenix god clan that had been cursed.

His strength clearly surpassed those of members of the Phoenix god clan. That was because he could still maintain a balanced battle and not fall into a disadvantageous position when fighting against many of them alone.

When Ye Xiao saw that, his eyes moved slightly. His Primordial Pupil was activated, and a formless, terrifying force immediately traversed a thousand miles away, bombarding the other party’s body.

Boom!

The powerful force instantly sent him flying and ruthlessly smashed through a star island before he came to a stop.

The remaining members of the Phoenix god clan immediately stepped forward and took him down.

At that moment, along with a twist of the air, another martial arts master of the Phoenix god clan quickly appeared.

It was that Grand Elder that Ye Xiao had seen before.

“Grand Elder, we’ve already captured him!”

The other members of the Phoenix god clan shouted excitedly.

The other party nodded.

“Alright! Immediately put him into the spatial ring and seal him up. Pay attention, don’t let the curse on his body taint all of you. Otherwise, all of you will also become like him.”

“Yes!”

After everyone agreed, they very quickly sealed him up.

“All of you take a rest and then immediately continue to search for the other cursed clansmen.”

“Yes!”

Everyone took a rest on the spot, while that Grand Elder instantly came in front of Ye Xiao. He looked at Ye Xiao with a somewhat complicated gaze.

“Many thanks.”

She lightly thanked him, and Ye Xiao merely nodded slightly.

“It’s a small matter, there’s no need to be polite.”

Pausing for a moment, he spoke again,

“Has the Phoenix Empress already found a solution?”

The Grand Elder nodded.

“She’s prepared to absorb all the curses on these people, including karma of their killings, into her own body.”

Hearing that, Ye Xiao’s expression changed slightly.

“If I remember correctly, once she does this, the Demon Heart Tribulation should immediately descend. At that time, she should be close to the final Immortal Tribulation, right?”

“Theoretically speaking, it’s like this. When a Supreme Eternal passes six tribulations, at the seventh level or so, if they casually use their own power, they will activate the Immortal Tribulation.”

Ye Xiao’s brows raised slightly.

That situation did not seem right.

The Phoenix Empress had yet to transcend the Love Tribulation, right?

She should only transcend the Demon Heart Tribulation when she was about to successfully transcend the Love Tribulation, right?

That way, the risk would be reduced by bringing the two tribulations closer together.

If she did not overcome the seven Immortal Tribulations, her chances of success would be greatly reduced during the final Immortal Tribulation. Moreover, even if she succeeded in advancing, her foundation would be lower than the others. In other words, she would have become a True Immortal but her aptitude would also be slightly inferior to the others.

The Grand Elder spoke,

“From the looks of it, she should have understood what that means. She has given up on the Love Tribulation with you, which turns out great for you.

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up.

“She’s finally understood? She’s no longer forcing me to like her?”

However, very quickly, he felt the strangeness in the other party’s words.

“That’s not right. What do you mean by what you said just now? What do you mean by it turns out great for me?”

“It’s not that she doesn’t want you to fall in love with her, but that she has fallen in love with you. So, you don’t need to go through the Love Tribulation anymore!

“Can this not be considered that you’ve finally got what you wanted?”

After she finished speaking, she seemed to be a little angry and immediately turned around to leave, leaving Ye Xiao alone, stunned on the spot.

The Phoenix Empress, likes him?

You must be joking, right?

How was that possible?

To overcome the Love Tribulation, one must have a heart as still as water, and others will be obedient to you.

‘If the Phoenix Empress likes me, it’s impossible for her to successfully overcome the tribulation.
