Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

“You’re right. He’s done enough. The current prosperity of the Kunlun Realm is entirely due to him and the Empress. Now it’s time for him to leave.”

After hearing his granddaughter Nalan Danqing's words, Emperor Wen sighed.

"Is there really no way for your grandfather to keep him in the Kunlun Realm? Is there absolutely no way?"

Nalan Danqing was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to keep Zhao Shuang with him.

"If you were to give him a few children as he suggested, perhaps he would really stay, but would you be willing? Even if you were, given his current condition, it would not be suitable for him to have children with you."

Emperor Wen laughed at this moment and joked.

"Grandpa, please stop talking nonsense. How could that be? With his temperament, how could he possibly marry someone else and have children at this time? It's completely impossible. Right now, what he cares about most is the entire Kunlun Realm, but he's unwilling to stay. Is the Guanghan Realm really that good?"

Nalan Danqing was filled with anger, annoyance, and shame.

"Whether the Guanghan Realm is good or not, only he knows. In short, no one can stop him from leaving, not even Her Majesty the Empress. Besides, Her Majesty the Empress is no longer in the Kunlun Realm and has entrusted the entire Kunlun Realm to him. As for how he deals with it, that's his business. In short, this matter is his and has nothing to do with us. With the destruction of the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion, hopefully, as he said, all grudges will be settled."

Emperor Wen's smile faded, and he sighed again.

……

Meanwhile, Zhao Shuang had already arrived in Shengming City, where a magnificent spectacle was unfolding. This spectacle was a once-in-a-millennium event, shocking the entire Kunlun Realm. It could be said that there were very few spectacle in the entire Kunlun Realm that could compare to it.

And then, by his side was an old friend, or more precisely, an elder—the Blood Queen.

"I never imagined you would actually emerge from the Endless Abyss. It seems you were quite worried about my brother's safety, otherwise you wouldn't have come out of the Endless Abyss, which would have broken your promise. Now that you've emerged, I'm relieved and no longer need to worry about my brother's safety. I believe he can truly destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace this time. Speaking of which, if you hadn't had that accident, my brother might be the one controlling the entire Kunlun Realm now. It's a pity he carries the blood of the Undying Blood Clan, making him unable to take over the Kunlun Realm. It's truly a pity. It's such a shame. So, all of this is because of you. You, sir..." "It's perfectly normal for you to be here, but when do you plan to leave, old man? If you don't leave, you might anger those old fogies, and once they get angry, they might not give you any face. Dealing with that would be a real hassle. After all, letting you stay in that endless abyss was already the limit of the Ming Emperor's power; your coming out now has broken his promise. If you stay any longer, you might anger those old fogies. Therefore, you should leave while you still have time, and don't let those old fogies find you. Also, don't act rashly, lest something unexpected happens. If something unexpected happens, dealing with it will be extremely troublesome. Even I might not be able to handle it then."

Zhao Shuang's words did not change the Blood Queen's expression at all, because her gaze remained fixed on the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace, where a series of exciting and dramatic events were taking place.

"I know all that you've said, but I will not leave, and I will absolutely not leave easily. I will not leave until I am certain that Chen'er is safe." The Blood Queen's answer was very simple: she would absolutely not leave easily. "It's up to you. Anyway, my brother doesn't acknowledge you as his mother. Maybe he does in his heart, but he won't easily admit it publicly. At least not now. So you should stay in the Endless Abyss. With your current strength, staying there is undoubtedly the best choice. If you leave, you can only return to the Hell Realm as soon as possible, but once you return, there will inevitably be a lot of trouble there. After all, you were driven out of the Hell Realm by those old fogies, weren't you? Oh, right, your stepmother. Anyway, the choice is yours. By the way, there's also the King of the Underworld, my brother's uncle. You should be out soon, right? I hope he can come out soon. I remember he should be only one step away from the God Realm. I hope he breaks through soon. After he breaks through, you can both go to the Hell Realm to do some things, to take revenge." "Fine, whatever, do as you please. Just don't stay in the Kunlun Realm. If you stay any longer, you might really die. Those old fogies are about to awaken, and if it weren't for so many concerns, they would have already dealt with you. You should know that even in my prime, I was wary of those old fogies, let alone now. So, the best choice for you is to stay here quietly and not make any rash moves. If you act rashly and anger those old fogies, the consequences will be extremely serious. You won't beg me to clean up your mess, and I absolutely won't. The Kunlun Realm is already giving me enough headaches; if I have to clean up your messes too, it'll drive me crazy. So, if you really create any chaos, don't come looking for me. Alright, that's all for now. Go do what you need to do."

"Remember not to make a mess. If you do, don't blame me for being ruthless. Alright, I'm going to find some fun now."

"After all, there are so many beautiful women in this city. It would be a real pity not to find one or two to keep you company while you drink and watch a show."

After saying this, Zhao Shuang left to find some beauties. After all, there were quite a few beauties in the city, especially several of them, with whom he had connections. Such a beautiful time, such a wonderful show—it would be a real shame, as he said, not to have a beauty or two to accompany him for drinks and entertainment.

He soon found the beautiful Qin Yutong, who also needed help, but because of Zhao Shuang, she couldn't help even if she wanted to, and could only accompany him for drinks and watch the show.

……

"Isn't the Heavenly King going to make a move?"

Qin Yutong was quite surprised and puzzled that Zhao Shuang asked her to accompany him for drinks, because she originally thought Zhao Shuang would help, but it seemed that Zhao Shuang would not.

"What did you call me?"

In response to Qin Yutong's question, Zhao Shuang asked a different question in return.

"Heavenly King? What happened to the Heavenly King?"

Qin Yutong was completely bewildered and puzzled. She couldn't understand why Zhao Shuang would say that. Was there something wrong with the way she addressed her?
"You know to call me Heavenly King, so you should know how I came to be one. I was personally appointed by Her Majesty the Empress, and so was the Heavenly King of Lingxiao, who is also related to her by blood. You could say the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace is royalty. Do you think I would dare to interfere? Before leaving Kunlun Realm, Her Majesty entrusted the entire Kunlun Realm to me. Now, under my management, the strength of Kunlun Realm has increased many times over. Under these circumstances, do you think it's appropriate for me to intervene? If I did, wouldn't that be publicly rebelling against Her Majesty the Empress? The entire Kunlun Realm still needs Her Majesty the Empress, so I absolutely cannot do such a thing. Do you understand? My not intervening is already the limit, the limit of what I can do, and the greatest help I can give my brother. Because if I were to intervene, with just a word, all his plans would vanish into thin air, rendering him utterly incapable of doing anything." "His attempt to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace is utterly foolish and impossible. You must understand, I've already managed to restrain all the forces he can't contend with. I've done everything I can; the rest is up to him. If he still can't destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace under these circumstances, then there's nothing I can do. It just means the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace isn't destined to perish, and his strength is insufficient. So don't ask me why I'm not helping; I've already done my utmost. I can't possibly order all the forces in the Kunlun Realm to attack the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace. If I did, do you think I could still survive in the Kunlun Realm? Although I'll be leaving the Kunlun Realm soon, I absolutely cannot attack the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace before I leave. Whether he can destroy it or not depends on his luck."

"I've said everything I needed to say. You just stay here and have a drink with me, and we'll watch the show together. As for whether the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion will ultimately be destroyed by me, his younger brother, that depends on their luck. If the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion is lucky enough, then everything will be fine. If they're not lucky enough, then they'll be destroyed—that's for sure. But there's one thing I need to clarify: once the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion is destroyed, then your grudges with the royal family will be settled. All your grievances with the royal family will be wiped clean, and no one will hold it against you anymore." This matter... from now on, all of this will be gone. So I hope you can understand. The Kunlun Realm can no longer tolerate internal strife. However, I, your younger brother, will likely lead you away from the Kunlun Realm to other worlds. Because I, your younger brother, can see that revenge is no longer possible in the Kunlun Realm. To be precise, destroying the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion would be revenge, and would settle the old grudges. The rights and wrongs, the grudges and entanglements of the past are far too numerous to explain in a few words. The only solution is for one side to leave and the other to remain. If we were to insist on fighting, it would only benefit people from other worlds in the end. The opportunities and benefits contained in the Kunlun Realm are simply too great. Therefore, my younger brother chose to leave, choosing to abandon all past grievances, only taking his anger out on the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion. The main reason is that the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion has gone too far in recent years. If they had done even a little bit better, I wouldn't have had to completely erase them from the Kunlun Realm. It's mainly because what they've done over the years has been too outrageous. Countless members of our Zhang family have died at the hands of the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion. Under these circumstances, I... This younger brother destroyed the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Palace, which can be considered an explanation to you. Isn't that what you wanted? Well, here it is. If you want to overthrow the imperial court's rule, I advise you not to. Because anyone who dares to overthrow the imperial court will be dealt with immediately. The Empress won't even need to lift a finger; I will use all my power to eliminate them. Internal strife is no longer acceptable in the Kunlun Realm. The Empress has achieved her goal of training troops; if things continue like this, the consequences are unimaginable. Internal strife is no longer possible in the Kunlun Realm.”

"Anyone who dares to fight amongst themselves, not to mention what will happen to the Empress, I won't be able to get past them. I will spare no effort to wipe them out completely, giving them absolutely no chance to breathe. Therefore, you now have two paths to choose from. One is to remain in the Kunlun Realm, where all grudges will be reduced to ashes with the destruction of the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion. No one will hold grudges anymore, and we will live in peace. The second is to leave the Kunlun Realm with my younger brother and go to other worlds. This path is uncertain; everything is unknown. However, it will be much safer than the Kunlun Realm. That's all I can tell you; this path is much safer than the Kunlun Realm. Because the Kunlun Realm is about to face a calamity." "It will be difficult. If this calamity is not handled properly, the entire Kunlun Realm will be reduced to ashes. Therefore, you must all be mentally prepared. You must be mentally prepared for all the rights and wrongs that will follow, because the catastrophe that the Kunlun Realm is about to face is not just the Empress's problem, but the problem of the entire Kunlun Realm. The Empress alone cannot solve it; it requires the joint efforts of the entire Kunlun Realm, including myself, my brother, and all of you. If any mistake is made, the entire Kunlun Realm will be reduced to ashes, completely and utterly destroyed. At that time, it will be too late for regrets. At that time, what will these grudges mean? Nothing will matter." (End of Chapter)
