Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 105 When will you return? (215)

At this moment, Queen Mother of the West gave Qi Yu a second choice and smiled without saying anything. Obviously, she wanted to see whether the latter would regret it under such circumstances.

After all, the current situation is different from what it was before. With the Sea God lineage once again appearing before the public, the balance of power between the two sides is gradually changing, and the original agreement can naturally no longer be generalized.

Taking this opportunity, Queen Mother of the West also wanted to evaluate her ally Qi Yu, whether he could remain calm and rational enough in the face of interests, and whether it was worth her continuing to cooperate with him or even making additional investments in him.

Hearing this, Qi Yu also smiled.

"Don't be ridiculous, Madam. How can I take back what I have promised?"

"Besides, how can a mere plague authority compare to a reassuring ally like the Empress?"

As he spoke, Qi Yu pushed out the spirit pearl in his hand and presented it to the Queen Mother of the West. However, seeing the power within her reach, the Queen Mother of the West remained unmoved and instead spoke.

“Fellow Daoist, do you know that with this spiritual bead, if it is used properly, it can create a Taoist master who controls the way of epidemics and can make all spirits flourish or wither with a thought? Even if fellow Daoist does not take this path, it is undoubtedly a treasure for the disciples under my tutelage.”

Hearing this, Qi Yu still shook his head.

"My queen, I still say the same thing. Compared to authority, I value an ally like you more."

"Just take it."

Hearing this, Queen Mother of the West’s smile finally bloomed completely.

"In that case, I would be disrespectful to refuse it."

After saying this, Queen Mother of the West reached out, took the turquoise spiritual bead surrounded by mysterious light, and put it away.

Then she continued.

"Brother Wenjia has been waiting for you for a long time. He must have something to discuss with you. Now that I have congratulated you, I will not bother you any more."

Having said that, Queen Mother of the West said goodbye to Wenjia Daojun again and left. It seemed that after returning to the Yaochi Heavenly Palace this time, she would start to retreat and prepare for a breakthrough. Xuanmen would soon have another powerful person of the level of Tianzun.

This can be considered a good thing.

After the Queen Mother of the West left, Wenjia Daojun finally spoke to Qi Yu.

"Your Majesty, why did you separate the power of plague and give it to the Golden Mother?"

"That was one of the original powers of the former monarch, and it is extremely precious. As the Golden Mother said, it would be good to use it to create a Heavenly Absolute Dao Lord. Why give it to others as a reward?"

Qi Yu looked extremely calm about this question.

"In this life, I walk the Shuiyuan Avenue only to sublimate and end my fate. I have already decided to discard unnecessary things."

"This plague power is naturally useless. It is worthwhile to use it to win over a quasi-saint who controls the Heavenly Punishment Avenue and has the potential to become the master of the Xuanmen."

"As for relying on this to cultivate a Taoist master?"

"Relying on my past origin, are you planning to raise a useless person who may not even be able to fully master his own Dao? If I have that aptitude, why would I need to rely on external forces to prove my Dao? If I don't have that aptitude, why would I bother with that intention?"

"The way of heaven's destruction is not as simple as you think!" Hearing Qi Yu's words, Wenjia Daojun immediately understood. Indeed, the power of plague is extraordinary. It is not possible for just anyone to fully master it. And those who can embark on such a path will not be restricted by the Daojun level. Sooner or later, there will be a day when they will break through on their own!
Forcing things to grow too fast is not a good thing.

Therefore, this plague power is just as Your Majesty said, a piece of chicken rib that is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away!

At this time, Qi Yu spoke again.

"Besides, do you think that what she said just now was all sincere?"

Hearing this, Taoist Wenjia naturally shook his head. He was also an old geek with many years of experience, so how could he not see the Queen Mother of the West's tentative intention?

That crude trick couldn't be hidden from anyone!

Of course, Queen Mother of the West herself was very clear about this, but she was still testing him because the temptation of power was too great and was enough to satisfy Queen Mother of the West's needs. She was just testing whether Qi Yu could still remain sober and rational at this moment.

Thinking of this, Taoist Wenjia spoke again.

"Your Majesty, is this Golden Mother really that important?"

Hearing this, Qi Yu smiled and then said to Wenjia Daojun.

"Wenjia, you have practiced for many years and have now achieved the status of a quasi-sage. You deserve to be called a strong man."

"But in my eyes, even with your current level of cultivation, I'm afraid you are no match for the Golden Mother."

"The Heavenly Queen of the Eastern Ancestral Temple is much more powerful than you think. Otherwise, with the vision of the three Taoist friends, why would they choose such a Golden Mother to take over the Xuanmen and become the head of the female immortals?"

Qi Yu's words immediately shocked Wenjia Daojun. He didn't think that His Majesty would joke about such things. He knew how amazing His Majesty's eyesight was. In other words, there was only one truth. He was afraid that he was no match for the Golden Mother now.

This was somewhat of a blow to Wenjia Daojun.

However, Taoist Wenjia did not feel lost for long, because the next moment, Qi Yu mentioned another important matter to him.

"With the current turmoil in Tianhe, the battle for the Black Emperor is imminent."

"Right now, not only is the Black Emperor's position high in the sky, attracting the covetousness of countless powerful people, but the nine newly opened Tianhe Water Palaces are probably already something that some people are determined to obtain."

"In order to give some people some trouble, the Sea God lineage should be active now."

Hearing Qi Yu's words, Wenjia Daojun's spirits suddenly lifted. Chengyuan Palace had been silent for too many years. Why didn't they want to make a comeback? It was just that they lacked confidence before, so they could only hide from the world to protect themselves!
But now, the king has returned, and Empress Wangshu has once again left Taiyin Star. The king of this life has also established contact with the three Heavenly Masters of Xuanmen, and has also won over many allies. If the Sea God does not come out now, when will they come out?
Therefore, after Qi Yu finished speaking, Wenjia Daojun immediately performed a solemn salute to Qi Yu.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The old brothers in the palace have been waiting for a long time. If Your Majesty is willing to let them come out and move around again, I'm afraid it's a good thing that these people have been longing for!"

"However, I wonder if His Majesty will return to the palace. Many of the younger generations have heard of His Majesty's past, but have never seen His Majesty in person. They have somewhat forgotten the former glory of the Sea God lineage."

In response to this, Qi Yu remained silent for a long time. After a long silence, he spoke.

"There will always be a day to go back, and it won't be long."

"Not urgent."
