“I can buy your house, break the contract, and evict you. At the same time, I’ll warn all the inns in Chang’an City, making sure none of them accepts you. If you haven’t found a place to stay by dawn, you’ll be driven out. What will you do then?” Cui Dahe spoke with an extremely domineering tone.
In the adjacent room, Li Qingshan furrowed his brows upon hearing this.
Xia Wuji gestured with his eyes.
Li Qingshan shook his head slightly. The Heavenly Emperor hadn’t spoken yet, so why the rush?
“If you want me to marry your son in a netherworld marriage, fine, but you need to defeat me.’
“Ten days from now, just outside Chang’an City, you and I will duel. If I lose, I’ll obediently comply.”
From within the room, the voice of the Heavenly Emperor echoed.
Cui Dahe shook his head. “I’m here to inform you, not to negotiate. You have no right to haggle with me.”
“Then you just watch and see if I can find a place to stay in Chang’an City.” The Heavenly Emperor’s tone was unhurried. With her captivating beauty, finding someone in Chang’an City whose cultivation level was not weaker than Cui Dahe’s was very easy.
Cui Dahe considered this. His face twisted, and only after several attempts did he manage to hold back.
“Ten days later, I’ll hold a netherworld marriage!” Cui Dahe flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.
Inside the room, the Heavenly Emperor remained impassive, closing her eyes to meditate.
“Do you have confidence in ten days?” Li Qingshan asked the Heavenly Emperor from the adjacent room.
“Yes,” Heavenly Emperor replied. Her tone remained composed, showing little concern for the matter.
Li Qingshan then felt at ease, instructing Xia Wuji not to be anxious. He said,
“Let’s wait and see the show in ten days, to see what cards the Heavenly
Emperor holds.”
Li Qingshan continued to cultivate silently.
He was not far from reaching the Wanderer cultivation plane.
News of the bet between the Heavenly Emperor and Cui Dahe quickly spread throughout Chang’an City.
The people of Chang’an led a monotonous daily life. Suddenly, such sensational news emerged, ensuring it would be passed around by word of mouth. In less than half a day, everyone in Chang’an City knew about it.
Having familiarized themselves with the story, people became intrigued. As long as they went to see what would happen in ten days, they could find out whether the peerless beauty, the Heavenly Emperor, would emerge victorious or if Cui Dahe would conduct a netherworld marriage for his son.
People were looking forward to it.
Especially since nothing significant had happened recently, the bet between Cui Dahe and the Heavenly Emperor became the most widely followed event in the recent period.
One day passed, then two, then three.
With each passing day, people’s anticipation grew. Everyone eagerly investigated information about the Heavenly Emperor. Some found the Immortal Path Golden Ranking reformed the previous year, discovering information and illustrations of the Immortal Emperor.
The beauty and formidable strength of the Immortal Emperor instantly became the talk of the town.
It ignited the public’s anticipation.
The people widely admired the beauty of the Immortal Emperor.
Everyone’s perspective followed their senses. Immediately, the vast majority of people supported the Immortal Emperor, wishing to overthrow the villainous Cui Dahe.
Thus, ten days passed.
During these ten days, the Heavenly Emperor had not left her residence once, dedicating herself entirely to cultivation. The fluctuations in her aura were unpredictable.
The city wall of Chang’an City was crowded with people eager to witness the spectacle.
Ten miles outside Chang’an City, Cui Dahe, gaunt with silver hair and a stern expression, stood waiting.
Noon approached. Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji had also arrived at the city wall early in the morning to observe Cui Dahe.
“Is this old man in the Longevity cultivation plane?” Xia Wuji muttered.
“Although he looks very old, he’s definitely not weak in a real fight,” Li Qingshan said.
“The stone door told me that the Longevity cultivation plane requires cultivating a hundred scriptures and nurturing a god,” Xia Wuji explained.
“What does nurturing a hundred scriptures and nurturing a god mean?” Li Qingshan asked.
“The Longevity cultivation plane requires you to burn all the skills you have cultivated in the past in a furnace. True gold is not afraid of fire. Then, you will raise a god spirit in the acupoints all over your body. Every god spirit you raise will make you a little stronger. I wonder how many gods this old man has raised,” Xia Wuji pointed at Cui Dahe and continued.
“I see.” Li Qingshan gained a better understanding of the Longevity cultivation plane.
In the next second, he sensed the Heavenly Emperor coming out.
“It’s about to begin,” Li Qingshan said to Xia Wuji.
Outside the city gate, the sun was scorching. Cui Dahe looked up at the sky. It was noon.
Just as he was about to call out to the Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Emperor appeared in front of him in the next second.
Standing in space, she had a slender figure, jade-like bones, and skin as smooth as cream. Her appearance instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Under the sunlight, the Heavenly Emperor’s body was surrounded by a dazzling light. In this light, the stars in the sky were reflected, setting off her aura.
The Heavenly Emperor’s expression was indifferent and cold. Her green hair danced behind her. She looked at Cui Dahe and said, “Now, please go to hell!”
“Do you think you can fight me just because you’ve entered the Wanderer cultivation plane?” Cui Dahe’s gaze was deep as he saw through the Heavenly Emperor. She used these ten days to break through to the Ascension Immortal realm and enter the Wanderer cultivation plane.
“Moreover, you forcefully broke through, so there will be repercussions. But it doesn’t matter. I’ll let you defeat me and complete the netherworld marriage. Then, you should go down and serve my son,” Cui Dahe said coldly. Right now, he only had one thought in his mind, which was to help his son complete the netherworld marriage.
Upon hearing Cui Dahe’s words, the onlookers were filled with grief when they thought of how such a beautiful Heavenly Emperor was going to marry a dead man.
Although they had only met the Heavenly Emperor once, they had already become fans for decades. Such a stunning woman was going to marry a dead man..
