The Generous Gesture of Chengsheng Mountain_2 Chapter 648: Chapter 252: Isn’t This a Bit Inappropriate?
The Proud Empress Huang Yue!
Ninth on the Heavenly Immortal Rank!
The Generous Gesture of Chengsheng Mountain_2 To prevent any accidents, Empress Huangyue didn’t leave things to chance this time and had already found and retrieved her soul fragment early, allowing it to cultivate under her watchful eye in Kunji Divine Province.
“I hope it can be successful,” she mused.
Thinking of the scenarios she had deduced, Empress Huangyue’s heart tightened, feeling the immense pressure and the heavy conscience that came with turbulent waves.
Once the new soul fragment had cultivated to the Heaven Imperial Realm, she would then be able to merge the nine great soul fragments, drastically increasing her own combat ability and attempt to step into the Heavenly Immortal domain in one fell swoop.
However, Empress Huangyue didn’t have absolute certainty of success, mainly because her Primordial Spirit was no longer perfect.
One of her soul fragments had fallen into the hands of that scoundrel Han Li, and although it was just a sliver of her Divine Spirit, sometimes that small difference was critical.
Han Li would not return that soul fragment to her, so she had only two options to achieve her goal.
The first was to ally with several supreme forces, or even all the supreme forces, to march to Chengsheng Mountain, to annihilate Han Li, and to retrieve her soul fragment.
She believed Empress Yuanchu shared the same idea, and although White Emperor City bore a grudge against them, it would likely take action against Han Li.
As for Tianji Pavilion, Solar Empire, Longevity Qin Family, Longevity Ji Family, Western Sky Palace, and Heavenly Cult, whether these six supreme forces would be willing to risk themselves was uncertain; they might take advantage of the situation, but acting as the vanguard was another matter.
Unless the Huangyue Imperial Empire, Yuanchu Mountain, and White Emperor City took the lead against Chengsheng Mountain, the six supreme forces might be willing to help as opportunists.
However, such an action would be detrimental to them, causing severe injury to their vital energies and possibly leading to their complete downfall, much to the benefit of the other supreme forces.
If there was no rush, they could also wait; as Chengsheng Mountain was still rapidly expanding, when it generated significant conflicts with other supreme forces, that would provide the basis for alliance, and the three great powers might not have to be the vanguard.
But this could take tens of thousands of years; could they really afford to wait?
More importantly, Han Li’s strength and Chengsheng Mountain’s power were expanding too rapidly.
Were they to wait tens of thousands of years, or even longer, would Chengsheng Mountain still be something they could contend with?
In less than three hundred years, Chengsheng Mountain had grown immensely; what behemoth would Han Li create with tens of thousands of years to build?
Beyond the first method, Empress Huangyue had a second option, one that she didn’t want to resort to unless absolutely necessary.
That was to trade herself in exchange for the soul fragment.
Han Li had coveted her body for more than a day or two and had even blatantly expressed his desires.
If she willingly married into Chengsheng Mountain and became Han Li’s Dao companion, with the condition of retrieving her soul fragment, she believed Han Li would agree.
After all, she was Empress Huangyue!
Yet, Empress Huangyue desperately did not want to use this method, as it would damage her pride.
She planned to continue waiting, to see if the soul fragment’s growth could make her whole again; if not, she would then make a decision.
On the other side, in Yuanchu Province.
Atop Yuanchu Mountain, Empress Yuanchu, clad in Silver War Armor and wielding a Silver Long Spear, contemplated the same things as Empress Huangyue.
Their thoughts aligned.
After wrestling with the idea, she too decided to wait and see if the situation would turn around; if not, she would have no choice but to…
In Taibai Divine Province, White Emperor City.
The White Emperor was contemplating his life.
He didn’t have the same worries as Empress Huangyue and Empress Yuanchu, with no need to fret over soul fragments, as his path was different.
But compared to the two peerless empresses, the White Emperor’s situation was much more pitiable.
While Empress Huangyue and Empress Yuanchu only lost soul fragments, the White Emperor had been killed once by Han Li, causing the Taibai Immortal Realm of White Emperor City to be plundered and its vital energy severely damaged.
Even though he loathed the Supreme Longevity Han Li, he did not entertain thoughts of a desperate fight; instead, he planned to emulate Han Li and be a low-key immortal cultivator.
He intended to keep a low profile until he transformed into a Battle Immortal and then ascended to become a Heavenly Immortal, gaining the strength to confront Han Li.
Before that, he felt he could no longer be conspicuous.
The White Emperor also restrained White Emperor City, ordering its internal forces and disciples to keep a low profile and avoid stirring up trouble.
“I hope there will be some good news,” the White Emperor muttered, his brows furrowed with worry.
The domineering White Emperor of the past, who commanded with authority and strategized over territories, was long gone.
In these two years, the White Emperor had been scheming to enhance the foundation of White Emperor City, but such things couldn’t be rushed and had to be done covertly to avoid attracting the attention of the other supreme forces in Yuankun Domain, especially Chengsheng Mountain.
At present, the biggest disparity between White Emperor City and Chengsheng Mountain lay in the True Immortal weapons.
Their Heavenly Immortal weapons were comparable, while the Heaven Imperial Realm imperial weapons had become less significant.
White Emperor City only possessed Wuxian Palace, a single True Immortal weapon, while Chengsheng Mountain boasted both the Human Dao Sword and Qiankun Bracelet, suppressing White Emperor without contest.
Even if he ascended as a Battle Immortal, it would be hard for him to subdue Chengsheng Mountain; at best, he could only achieve an equal standing.
To confront Chengsheng Mountain, his only choice was to continue enhancing White Emperor City’s foundations.
Thus, the White Emperor had been searching for True Immortal weapons over the past two years.
The vast Yuankun Domain, with its endless expanse built up over countless years, held no small number of True Immortal weapons, yet acquiring them was exceedingly difficult.
True Immortal weapons could mask their presence from destiny, nearly impossible to predict, and could only be found through fate, facing trials and earning recognition.
But to counter Han Li, the White Emperor would send avatars to explore any leads, regardless of their credibility; his main body would stay hidden in the Taibai Immortal Realm, protected by a True Immortal weapon, safe from any threats.
