Chapter 601 - The Alluring Fragrance of Power! (1/2)
…
The Phoenix Empress rubbed the space between her brows. She felt a headache coming on.
“Have you found out who’s behind this?”
“Not yet. We can’t find out who’s behind this at all. These curses came too unexpectedly. Moreover, they can be transmitted from one clansman to another.
“Currently, our initial guess is that the clansmen outside have been tricked by someone and that have placed such curses.”
“You’re right. We can’t let them continue like this. Otherwise, the Phoenix god clan will become the common enemy of all the god clans in the starry sky.
“Summon all our clansmen back.”
The Phoenix clan Grand Elder could not help but raise her brows.
“What is Your Majesty trying to do? If we let them come back, it will most likely cause more clansmen to be cursed.”
The Phoenix Empress said with an indifferent expression,
“I want to absorb all the curses in their bodies onto mine, including the karma from their heinous actions. With my body alone, I can withstand the sin that the entire Phoenix god clan has committed.”
“Is Your Majesty crazy? If you do this, it will very likely cause you to undergo the Demon Heart Tribulation.
“But what about the Love Tribulation between you and Ye Xiao? He hasn’t fallen in love with you yet! If you transcend the Demon Heart Tribulation, it’s impossible for you to casually display your strength.
“At that time, you might face the Immortal Tribulation at any time.
“If that’s the case, we would rather die and commit suicide than see Her Majesty unable to completely transcend the seven Immortal Tribulations!”
“Stop spouting nonsense. The other party isn’t targeting the Phoenix god clan, but Ye Xiao. This disaster shouldn’t be withstood by the Phoenix god clan.”
“Your Majesty!”
Seeing that the Phoenix Empress was about to enter seclusion, the Grand Elder suddenly shouted, causing her to stop in her tracks.
“Are you in love with that brat?”
“Grand Elder, you must be joking. I’m the Phoenix Empress. I know my mission. I won’t fall in love with anyone.”
“You can hide it from others, but you can’t hide it from me. I have watched you grow up step by step. I understand your thoughts better than anyone else.
“I cannot control your choices, but I have to remind you that you have painstakingly cultivated for tens of thousands of years. You not only carry the expectations of the entire Phoenix god clan but also your own 10,000 years of hard work!
“Even if you can live up to the expectations of the entire Phoenix god clan, you should at least live up to your own hard work, right?
“He is just an insignificant man. You can have as many as you want. There is no shortage of men in this world.
“As long as you can become a True Immortal, with your looks, figure, cultivation, and talent, you can have any man you want in the future.
“Don’t waste your 10,000 years of bitter cultivation on him!”
“Are you done? If you’re done, go and gather our clansmen.”
The Phoenix Empress only said those words indifferently before she immediately began her seclusion.
The Grand Elder shook her head and did not say anything. She let out a deep sigh before turning around and leaving.
…
On Ye Xiao’s side, after a month of bitter cultivation, his cultivation had improved quite a bit. He had already risen to the peak of the ninth-level Godly Emperor realm, a lesser True Immortal realm.
The divine blood and law energy in his body were almost completely refined.
Basically, more than half had already been digested by him. The remaining bit was only about three-tenths.
It should be enough for him to advance to the Supreme Eternal realm.
Although advancing to the Supreme Eternal realm was not that easy.
Even so, he had a lot of divine blood and law energy. It was not just from the primordial Divine Kingdom. The law energy of the 13 Godly Emperors was already insufficient. Later on, he had killed so many Godly Emperors, he had also absorbed their divine blood and law energy.
Furthermore, Ye Xiao had eaten the Qilin King’s body. That was a true Supreme Eternal, which had allowed him to gain a lot of strength.
The law energy already contained the martial concept, allowing him to comprehend and extend to the level of the Supreme Eternal without any obstacles.
However, he still needed some opportunities to advance to the level of the Supreme Eternal.
Next, no matter how much he cultivated and how much he raised his cultivation, it was impossible for him to advance to the level of a Supreme Eternal so easily.
He had to wait for another opportunity to arrive before he could successfully advance.
It was something that could not be helped.
If he could successfully advance to the level of a Supreme Eternal as long as he stored enough energy, then everyone in the starry sky would already be red-eyed with killing.
There was no need to do anything. He could just instantly kill and absorb enough divine blood to become a Supreme Eternal. Who would still cultivate diligently?
If that was the case, the entire world would probably become the haywire. Justice and truth would never exist.
Perhaps in the laws of nature, it was best to lead with good intentions.
He only hoped that that opportunity would come sooner.
After doing all that, Ye Xiao immersed his divine sense into the spatial ring.
The Blood Venerable One and the Qilin King’s divine souls were staring straight at him.
It was impossible to welcome them. Those two people hated him to death. Ye Xiao was also clear in his heart.
Between everyone, it was like a young lady and a guest.
Talking about feelings was an illusion. Maintaining the relationship between both parties was, ‘you pay, I lie down.’
“How is it? Have you thought it through?”
Ye Xiao spoke indifferently, and the Qilin King snorted coldly.
“Is this king not the kind of person who is afraid of death? If you want to kill, then kill. There’s no need to be long-winded.”
The Blood Venerable One hurriedly stepped forward to mediate the situation.
“Hehehe… What do you mean by killing or not killing? It’s better for everyone to treat harmony as their value.”
After saying that, he transmitted his voice to Ye Xiao,
“Ye Xiao, this fellow is actually unable to let go of his pride. If you give him a way out, I guarantee that he will obediently listen to you.”
Ye Xiao smiled contemptuously in his heart.
Of course, he knew that the two of them were performing a double act.
If the Qilin King really wanted to die rather than submit, there was no need for him to give him a way out.
Looking at it, the so-called Qilin King would not be able to escape the alluring fragrance of power in the end.
However, he did not have to expose the other party. After all, the other party’s cultivation was placed there, and his strength was so strong. He would let him be arrogant for a while.
