Chapter 1100 - Su Xuanjun Fails to Understand a Woman’s Heart
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress’s expression was strange. Who knew what she was thinking, but she couldn’t help but giggle.
As crafty and smug as a fox who’d just run off with a chicken.
Were the Sixth Warden here to see this, he likely couldn’t have imagined that this radiant, smiling young woman and the cold, aloof, contemptuous founder of the Demons’ Elysium were one and the same.
The disparity really was enormous.
This was part of her capricious nature. Sometimes, she was like a peerless immortal beauty of the yao path, her every gesture grand and dignified.
Other times, she seemed as enchanting as a demoness, her every gesture amorous enough to bewitch the masses.
Other times, she was cold and aloof as ice, like a sovereign gazing indifferently down upon her domain.
And sometimes, in front of Su Yi, she seemed like a lively, crafty little girl. She smiled charmingly, and she made no attempt to hide her smug glee.
Su Yi naturally understood this, so he extended his finger and flicked her on the forehead. “Let’s get down to business.”
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress rubbed her forehead in pain. “It’s simple. To trick the Sixth Warden, I told him the truth of our plans. After all, it would have been far too easy for him to see through a lie.”
She then described her meeting with the Sixth Warden in full detail.
Su Yi quickly understood.
His eyes flashed, and he said casually, “There’s no way that guy will trust you so easily. He gave you those two Dark and Gold Treasures simply because he wanted to test whether or not I really could undo their seals.”
He paused, then continued, “That means that even though the Nine Heavens Pavilion has been searching for Dark and Gold Treasures all this time, the Sixth Warden and the others have no means to undo their seals. They naturally cannot obtain the Dark and Gold Essence, either.”
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress was stunned. “Big Brother Su, you sure are perceptive. It never occurred to me that that would be why.”
“That’s just because you don’t understand Dark and Gold Treasures,” Su Yi said casually.
In his past life, even with a cultivation base unsurpassed in the Wilds, he couldn’t figure out the secrets of the Dark and Gold Treasures, to the point that he left them to gather dust in his treasury.
It was only in this lifetime, after he grasped the Laws of the End, that he discerned the secrets of the Dark and Gold Treasures!
And the Laws of the End were part of the Laws of Reincarnation. Throughout the heavens, he was currently the only person to have grasped these Laws!
Given the circumstances, how could the Heavensdeath Demon Empress possibly have understood these secrets?
“Is that so...?” The Heavensdeath Demon Empress stood with her hands behind her back, her delicate frame leaning slightly forward. She said eagerly, “Big Brother Su, quickly, show me what the Dark and Gold Treasures really look like!”
Su Yi subtly inclined his head.
First, he grabbed the jade pendant and circulated the power of the End. Then, his fingertip gently brushed against the pendant’s surface.
Kcch!
Misty light flashed, and the originally unassuming jade pendant silently transformed, becoming dazzlingly radiant. It now seemed like a piece of divine jade, and its surface shone with wisps of misty gray chaotic power. Its aura was incomparably boundless and dense.
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress was instantly transfixed, and her heart shook. “What shocking chaos power. Its aura alone seems boundless and immeasurable...”
There was no doubt about it. This was Dark and Gold Essence, a primordial, chaotic power of the Dark and Gold Star Realm’s source!
Su Yi passed the jade pendant to the Heavensdeath Demon Empress. “If you want to break past the Profound Unity Realm and step onto the Path of Heaven’s Ascension, you need to fuse with the Laws of a Star Realm. That’s the true meaning of the term ‘World King.’”
He paused, then said, “As you refine more Dark and Gold Essence, with your intelligence and cultivation, you’ll be able to derive the complete Laws of this Star Realm. Once you do, you’ll be able to soar to greater heights and resolve the difficulties with your cultivation base once and for all.”
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress’s fair fingers gripped the pendant and held it tight, as if she were holding the light illuminating her future path. A rare, dazed look appeared on her face.
She was the founder of the Demons’ Elysium, the “demon ancestor” the Wilds’ Demonist cultivators treated with awe and respect. Here in the Wilds, she’d long since reached the pinnacle of power. She was a terrifying existence.
But she knew better than anyone how perilous the difficulties she’d encountered in her cultivation were.
The slightest mistake, and she could tumble into a bottomless abyss!
She’d searched for a higher path for a long, long time, unable to find it. This left her with no choice but to repeatedly seal and suppress her cultivation base.
Recently, she had a premonition that her seals would soon cease to be effective. If she didn’t break through soon, she was doomed to plummet back into the depths of mortal dust!
But now, she’d finally taken a firm hold of a path to greater heights!
There simply weren’t words to describe her delight or excitement!
Some time later——
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress suddenly looked up and stared intently at Su Yi. “Brother Su, I’ve said many times that I wanted to knock you to the ground and take you, but now, I’ve changed my mind.”
Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “You only said all that in a fit of rage. I never took it seriously.”
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress bit down on her ample red lower lip, her eyes sparkling like stars and her voice filled with unprecedented determination. “But this time, I need you to trust me when I say that I want you to take me! Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to return this favor...”
Here, she batted her starry eyes, her expression three parts bashful, three parts alluring, with a hint of nervousness. “In all my years of cultivation, this is my first time being so forward. In the past, I hated nothing more than men, and the mere thought of dual cultivation sickened me. But this time, I’m willing! I’d like nothing more than... Ack! Ouch!”
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress gasped, suddenly frantic.
Su Yi had just grabbed her earlobe. This set her entire delicate frame trembling, and her face filled with vexation. She glared hatefully and said, “Su Xuanjun! I’m telling you that I’m wholeheartedly willing to let you take me to bed. Why are you so blind to a woman’s feelings?”
Su Yi relaxed his grip and said flatly, “All this talk of ‘willingness’ and ‘wholeheartedness’ is nothing but a pretense to take advantage of me. Quit dreaming.”
“???”
Su Yi continued, “Besides, I already told you that you just need to split the Dark and Gold Treasures you found with me. That’s enough.”
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress facepalmed, and her prideworthy chest heaved.
A little while later, she hatefully gnashed her teeth. “Just you wait! I’ll take you to bed sooner or later!”
Su Yi laughed coldly. “So, you’ve finally revealed your true nature?”
This demoness was capricious by nature. Su Yi had learned this a long time ago, way back in his past life. He was naturally well aware that he couldn’t take this “good fortune” seriously. If he did, he’d suffer a major loss!
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress sat to the side in a huff, but then, it seemed she couldn’t hold it in any longer. She burst out laughing. “You don’t even dare sleep with me? You really are worse than a beast!”
Su Yi simply ignored her.
He took the copper seal, extended his finger, and undid the power sealing it. Then, he sat cross-legged and started meditating.
With this Dark and Gold Treasure, he was confident that it wouldn’t be long before his cultivation reached the true pinnacle of the Profound Illumination Realm!
When the nearby Heavensdeath Demon Empress saw this, she sighed, cast aside her scattered thoughts, and focused on her Dark and Gold Treasure.
......
As time passed, the uproar following Su Xuanjun’s reincarnation and return gradually died down.
But that was just on the surface.
The Wilds’ cultivation factions all knew that a storm was brewing, and that the curtains would soon open on a grand battle atop Martial Heaven Peak, the home of the Abstruse Force Alliance!
The Swordmaster of Abstruse Force would return to flatten Martial Heaven Peak and slay his traitorous disciple, Pi Mo. Who wouldn’t pay attention?
And the way peak ancient orthodoxies like the Nine Extremes Divine Capital, the Little Western Paradise, and the Demons’ Elysium saw it, this battle would alter the balance of power that had stood for the past five hundred years!
If Pi Mo lost, the Abstruse Force Alliance would fall apart completely.
But if Su Xuanjun lost...
That would unquestionably mean that the legend who’d dominated the Wilds for 108,000 years would fall for good!
