Chapter 1323 -1013: Do you think I look like a fool?
Seeing that Lu Chen completely disregarded her threat, Empress Tianhong’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. She was a Great Emperor who had proven herself through the Killing and Slaughtering Dao, and now she couldn’t even exert the slightest bit of deterrence?
Back when she was in the Outer Domain, other Great Emperors would steer clear of her, yet this was the first time she encountered someone who dared to speak to her this way and furthermore dared to ignore her threat.
But then again, this fellow had treated her as a plaything for a year, it seemed there was nothing he didn’t dare to do.
A dense killing aura emitted from Empress Tianhong. However, seeing the expectant look in Lu Chen’s eyes, she managed to calm her inner emotions once more, trying to cool down.
“What is it?” Empress Tianhong asked.
She decided to first listen to what Lu Chen had to say, and then make a decision.
Lu Chen directly stated: “I want to comprehend the Life Dao. Oh no, it should be called the Creation Dao. However, to walk this Great Dao, I must have a Great Emperor to guide me.”
Empress Tianhong’s mind was startled.
The Creation Dao?
She had followed Lu Chen for many years and often heard Lu Chen mention the so-called Life Dao, but that was mostly just sweet nothings Lu Chen whispered in bed while he was fooling around with his wives and concubines.
In her eyes, it had always been a joke, and Lu Chen’s wives and concubines hardly took the Life Dao mentioned by Lu Chen seriously.
And now, Lu Chen actually intended to attain enlightenment and become an Emperor through this so-called Life Dao?
Among the Three Thousand Great Dao, there indeed exists the Creation Dao…
But this Great Dao becomes suggestive when it comes from Lu Chen’s mouth, always giving off the impression that the Creation Dao Lu Chen speaks of isn’t some proper Dao.
Also, it’s the first time she’s heard of the need for a Great Emperor to act as a guide in order to become an Emperor.
Following this, Empress Tianhong coldly inquired, “Do you think I’m a fool?”
Becoming a Great Emperor is a matter for cultivators themselves; how can it possibly require another Great Emperor as a guide? Right from the start, it was clear that Lu Chen was deceiving her.
After all, she is herself a revered Great Emperor, and yet she’s being hoodwinked to such a degree, how little must he regard her.
Seeing that Empress Tianhong seemed disbelieving, Lu Chen continued to explain: “Great Emperors contain the Power of Laws within them and possess a relatively complete miniature universe inside their bodies. If I could procreate with a Great Emperor, I would be able to glean the understanding of the Creation Dao from the birth of life.”
Upon hearing this, Empress Tianhong was taken aback. Immediately after, rage filled her heart. So-called aiding in enlightenment was just a ruse to trick her into having a child?
What did he take her for?
Lu Chen clearly sensed that Empress Tianhong was becoming angry, so he quickly continued: “I am serious. Although it may sound absurd, you have been following me for a long time now, and you should also have realized from what I have accomplished over the years that my method of cultivation is indeed different from ordinary people.”
Empress Tianhong calmed her inner rage and pondered for a moment. Lu Chen was not lying in his words. Over the years, Lu Chen had rarely practiced cultivation deliberately, yet his Cultivation State consistently soared upward.
However…
Empress Tianhong then said indifferently: “Even if what you say is true, why should I sacrifice myself to aid you in becoming an Emperor?”
This…
Lu Chen thought for a moment, originally wanting to say it could pay back karma, but he felt that such a thing should not be spoken by himself.
Causality is such a profound and inscrutable thing; if I were to speak of it, it might become a transaction, perhaps even losing its connection with repaying causality.
Moreover, there are many ways for Empress Tianhong to repay causality and it doesn’t necessarily have to be through childbearing.
But if not using the excuse of repaying causality, what other pretext should one look for?
Just now, he had looked through the information on Empress Tianhong and knew that she would be willing to do anything to repay her debts of causality.
The key issue now was to give Empress Tianhong a way out with dignity, after all, she is a Great Emperor and maintains the dignity of one.
It was at this moment that Lu Chen suddenly thought of something.
With a thought, his Divine Sense entered his Sea of Consciousness, only to find that there was a red Longsword in there, which was left behind when contracting the Feihong Immortal Boat.
Back then, Empress Tianhong was still the Artifact Spirit of the Feihong Immortal Boat, and even though Empress Tianhong has now revived, that mark has not disappeared, which means she is still technically the Artifact Spirit of the Feihong Immortal Boat.
This contract mark is different from the influence of the Dragon Phoenix Tree; it affects the Divine Soul. Even though Empress Tianhong is no longer confined by her body, she is still influenced by this mark.
With this mark, Lu Chen is the master of the Feihong Immortal Boat, and thus the master of Empress Tianhong.
Realizing this, Lu Chen actively stimulated the Red Sword, and in the next moment, the sword emitted a buzzing sound.
Empress Tianhong’s mind jolted at this instant, her mind suddenly filled with much information. Her eyes widened, and her expression showed some bewilderment as she looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.
She quickly regained her senses, the Killing Aura on her body intensifying, her eyes glinting fiercely, as if she was contemplating killing Lu Chen.
She hadn’t realized that deep within her Divine Soul, there lay a master-servant contract, one that she had left behind while she was an Artifact Spirit.
Had it not been for Lu Chen stimulating the contract just now, she might never have noticed its existence.
When Lu Chen activated the contract, her mind was instantly filled with affection for him, and her Favorability soared to one hundred, but as soon as Lu Chen stopped stimulating the contract, she quickly calmed down, and her Favorability towards him dropped to ninety.
As a Great Emperor, she naturally wouldn’t be content to be controlled by others. Lu Chen then said, “This contract was signed when you were still an Artifact Spirit. I may not know your origins, but I can guess that you’re no ordinary being. I believe you also don’t wish to have such a contract restricting your freedom. How about this: you help me in my quest for power, and I will find a way to lift this contract.”
Empress Tianhong gave Lu Chen a cold look, not uttering a word. Although Lu Chen was suppressing her at this moment, the aura emanating from Empress Tianhong made him shiver with fear as well.
Lu Chen had no choice, under these circumstances, he could only bring up the contract.
He had not expected that the Blood Recognition used on the Feihong Immortal Boat would still be effective after Empress Tianhong’s breakthrough to become a Great Emperor.
After an interminable time, Empress Tianhong finally spoke, “If you do not free me from this contract after the deed is done, I will kill you personally.”
Seeing Empress Tianhong’s agreement, Lu Chen was excited inside, now it all depended on his ability.
Lu Chen then said, “In that case, let’s begin.”
No sooner had Lu Chen finished speaking than he found his own body restrained by Empress Tianhong, who in the next moment flipped over and pinned him down beneath her, then sat on top of him.
Lu Chen was slightly startled, quickly realizing that Empress Tianhong wanted to take control of the situation.
Looking down imperiously, Empress Tianhong indifferently stared at Lu Chen, saying with disdain as if she were looking at trash, “I am not your plaything.”
