Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

After hearing everything Zhao Shuang said, the Empress was speechless.

Although Zhao Shuang said he would use the connections he had made in the Heavenly Court to help the Kunlun Realm grow stronger, the Kunlun Realm already had a lot of connections in the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to leave the Heavenly Court and return to the Kunlun Realm alive this time.

"Do you really think everyone slays gods as easily as you do, like cutting melons and eating vegetables? The divine abilities you taught me are indeed incredibly powerful, but I am currently just a newly advanced god. Compared to other gods, my foundation is still too weak. I also want to slay other gods, but how can you accomplish that with just a few empty words?"

The Empress's words clearly indicate that she wants something better, not just simple supernatural powers. She obviously wants something even more powerful, such as a divine artifact.

Although the Kunlun Realm also possesses divine artifacts, they are not in the Empress's possession, which is why she desires them.

If she could obtain a divine artifact, the Empress would be confident enough to slay a god. Of course, she herself was also confident enough to slay a god, but the price was too high, and she was unwilling to pay such a high price.

Now that Zhao Shuang has taken the initiative to speak, she naturally won't let this opportunity slip by.

"Are you planning to ask me for the divine artifact?"

Zhao Shuang knew perfectly well what the Empress meant. He then smiled and said...

“Indeed, I do want divine artifacts. I know very well that you possess many divine artifacts, which is why I want them. One of the things you have accomplished in the Heavenly Court is possessing a large number of divine artifacts. That is why I want them. As long as I can obtain enough divine artifacts—not many, just three or five—I will be confident enough to annihilate the gods of the Hell Realm without paying a heavy price.”

The Empress's words alone mentioned three or five divine artifacts. This caused Zhao Shuang to frown, and he expressed his helplessness.

"Do you think I can produce so many divine artifacts right now? Although I did have some back then, I gave them all to my friends when I chose to reincarnate. But since you've asked, it would be stingy of me not to give them to you. Let me go to the Heavenly Court. When I get there, I'll find a few old acquaintances and see if they're willing to lend me their divine artifacts. If they're willing to lend me their artifacts, I'll give them to you."

That was all he could say now. Otherwise, based on his understanding of the Empress, she would never have allowed him to leave the Kunlun Realm, because the Kunlun Realm desperately needed help.

"Alright, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

The Empress's smile was so enchanting that it could be described as breathtaking.

"Alright, there's still some time. Talk to the Moon Goddess. I believe she needs to know the situation of the Heavenly Court right now. After all, what I know about the Heavenly Court in the past is only the situation of the Heavenly Court in the past. As for what the situation of the Heavenly Court is now, I don't know much about it either."

After saying this, Zhao Shuang released the Moon Goddess from within his body. As soon as the Moon Goddess appeared, her divine power was in no way inferior to that of the Empress.

"You two should have a good talk about the current situation in the Heavenly Court. I hope you can have a pleasant conversation, and remember not to blame me."

After saying this, Zhao Shuang was about to leave this place of trouble, but the Moon Goddess called him back.

"If you're willing to give him divine artifacts, why can't you give me a few? If I could obtain divine artifacts, I could also slay the gods of the underworld, and the pressure on the Guanghan Realm would be much less. Furthermore, the beings of the Guanghan Realm would be able to grow extremely quickly."

That's right, the Moon Goddess also wants the divine artifact. She heard everything Zhao Shuang and the Empress had just discussed. Originally, she didn't want the artifact, or rather, she didn't know how to ask, but now it seems it's time to speak up.

If she didn't speak up and missed this opportunity, it would be nearly impossible to find another chance to ask for the divine artifacts. Therefore, she naturally had to seize the moment and speak up quickly. She wanted to get as many artifacts as she could, however many she could get. She knew very well that Zhao Shuang possessed many divine artifacts, even if they weren't currently with him, she was certain they existed.

Therefore, we must seize the opportunity, because once it's missed, there will be no more chances.

"No, not a single one. Neither of you can have it. I have no way of giving it to you. Don't even think about it. This divine artifact is not something you can just take as you please. Although I gave it to them back then, it's not an easy thing to borrow it now." Zhao Shuang was speechless, so she refused without hesitation and took the opportunity to also refuse what she had promised the Empress.

But as soon as he finished speaking, two powerful divine forces descended upon him, like two towering mountains that he was lifted up, making his body almost unable to bear the weight and about to fall to the ground.

Clearly, neither the Queen nor the Moon Goddess intended for him to leave so easily.

There was a sense that they wouldn't give up until they achieved their goal.

"Alright, alright, I agree to your conditions. However, I will only give each of you one of these artifacts at most, and it will only be for borrowing, not given to you directly."

Feeling the immense pressure of divine might emanating from him, Zhao Shuang had no choice but to agree. He knew he would get his revenge sooner or later. As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure vanished, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Once we reach the Heavenly Realm, I'll try to borrow the divine artifact I gave to my old friend. I'll give it to you then. Whether you can use the artifact to slay the beings of Hell depends on your abilities. If you all get the artifact and still can't slay the gods of Hell, then it just means your abilities are truly lacking." Zhao Shuang couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks. He knew very well that for either the Empress or the Moon Goddess, slaying the gods of Hell wouldn't be difficult.

He was just saying it, but he was actually well aware of the current situation.

As long as the Empress and the Moon Goddess obtain the divine artifact, then the Kunlun Realm and the Guanghan Realm will no longer have any problems. Moreover, this divine artifact is not the original artifact of the Kunlun Realm, but Zhao Shuang's former artifact. Under these circumstances, the gods of the Heavenly Court Realm will not be able to say anything.

Because he knew very well just how despicable those gods in the Heavenly Court were.

They are even more despicable than some of the gods in the underworld. "Then thank you very much, Your Majesty."

This time, it was the Moon Goddess who spoke, and her smile was even more beautiful, but it was a cold smile. It was beautiful, but it did not inspire any blasphemous thoughts.

"Alright, stop talking here. Anyway, I've already promised you the divine artifact, but whether you can wield it and annihilate the gods of the underworld depends on your abilities. I hope you won't disappoint me, or the beings of the Kunlun Realm and the Guanghan Realm."

After saying this, Zhao Shuang turned around and left, completely ignoring the Empress and the Moon Goddess, because what followed was a matter between the two gods, and had nothing to do with him.

Although he is now capable of restoring himself to the realm of a god, he does not intend to do so now because his cycle of reincarnation has not yet ended. He must wait until his cycle of reincarnation is complete before he can not only directly restore himself to the realm of a god, but also return to the peak of his previous life. At that time, there will be very few people in the entire Heavenly Court and Hell Realm who can defeat him, or more precisely, very few who can be compared to him.

However, over 100,000 years have passed, and those people must have made considerable progress. So it's quite possible that someone could actually defeat him.

……

How many magical artifacts do you have?

Nalan Danqing heard the conversation between the two deities and Zhao Shuang clearly, so she was very curious about how many divine artifacts Zhao Shuang actually possessed.

Judging from the Empress's words, the number of divine artifacts Zhao Shuang left behind in the Heavenly Court was definitely not small.

There are probably even more than what is rumored in the Kunlun Realm.

"Don't worry about that. Anyway, once we get to the Heavenly Court, I'll find a way to get you a few divine artifacts to help the Empress resolve this trouble. As long as the Empress can obtain the divine artifacts, I believe dealing with the gods of the Underworld won't be a problem. After all, even gods don't necessarily possess divine artifacts, and even gods don't necessarily possess supreme holy artifacts. These divine artifacts are very rare. It's truly something to be envious that the Kunlun Realm has ten divine artifacts."

Zhao Shuang said with a smile.

He would naturally not be as rude to Nalan Danqing as he had been to the Empress and the Moon Goddess.

"Then could you give me one or two divine artifacts? If you could give me one or two divine artifacts, that would be a tremendous benefit for the entire Kunlun Realm. What do you think?"

Nalan Danqing immediately asked for one or two divine artifacts.

"If you possess a divine artifact, aren't you afraid that the gods of the Heavenly Court will try every means to kill you? Although your identity is special, how could you bring up such a thing? You are the Holy Scholar, how could you be so foolish? Who told you this?"

Zhao Shuang was speechless at Nalan Danqing's request. He never expected that this talented woman would make such a request. It was simply unbelievable.

"Don't worry, even if I have a divine artifact, I won't use it easily. You can rest assured there won't be any problems. And I won't lend it to Her Majesty the Empress. You can also rest assured about that!"

Nalan Danqing's expression was extremely solemn, and her gaze was fixed on Zhao Shuang. Clearly, her desire for the divine artifact was not as simple as it seemed.

“Divine artifacts are not something I can give you just because you want them. This is different from the Great Dao Divine Power. I can directly pass on the Great Dao Divine Power to you, and I can give you as many as you want. But ordinary divine artifacts involve far too much. Every divine artifact will cause a great upheaval. If you possess a divine artifact, even if you don’t help the Kunlun Realm, even if you don’t use it openly, it will still bring you endless danger. Do you understand? This is something I cannot agree to, nor can I agree to.”

Zhao Shuang's expression also became much more serious, his previous relaxed smile gone, and he met Nalan Danqing's gaze. Clearly, he wanted Nalan Danqing to reconsider his desire for the divine artifact, because this matter was far too complex for him to agree to. Although the artifact was originally his, he had essentially given it away—or rather, lent it—during his reincarnation. But ten thousand years had passed; it was practically theirs now. Unless he regained his peak strength, getting it back was impossible.

Under these circumstances, he simply couldn't give Nalan Danqing one or two divine artifacts.

Giving it to the Empress and the Moon Goddess is acceptable, but it's absolutely unacceptable given Nalan Danqing's situation. There's absolutely no possibility of reconciliation on this matter, and he will never agree to it.

"How about this? I'll give you two or three Supreme Artifacts. Is that alright? Although Supreme Artifacts are not as good as Divine Artifacts, they will still be quite useful to you, and they will also give you enough power to protect yourself."

As a second choice, Zhao Shuang opted to give Nalan Danqing the Supreme Sacred Artifact. This was also a valuable item. It could be said that if any Great Sage could obtain a Supreme Sacred Artifact, they would instantly become a powerful figure among Great Sages. Even gods might not be able to obtain a Supreme Sacred Artifact. This item was not something that could be easily forged; it required fortuitous opportunities, favorable materials, and various other factors. It could be said that even a god would need tens of thousands of years of accumulation to forge a Supreme Sacred Artifact.

If the Empress hadn't been the ruler of the entire Kunlun Realm, and if she hadn't used all the power of the Kunlun Realm back then, she wouldn't have been able to possess the Supreme Sacred Artifact. Even so, the Supreme Sacred Artifact in her possession wasn't the most top-tier Supreme Divine Artifact.

"But I only want a divine artifact, not a supreme holy artifact. I only want one divine artifact, one is enough. And I want the one that is related to me. I know you can do it. In the entire Kunlun Realm, and even in the entire Heavenly Court Realm, you are the only one who can do this. So I hope you can help me, is that alright?"

Nalan Danqing's eyes were full of affection and pleading, because she knew very well that only Zhao Shuang knew the meaning of what she was saying.

She knew that only Zhao Shuang could help her with this matter; no one else could, not even the Empress, and the gods of the Heavenly Court would certainly not help her. Therefore, in the entire Kunlun Realm, only Zhao Shuang could do what she asked for; no one else had an absolute chance.

So at this point, all she could do was pray that Zhao Shuang could help her obtain that divine artifact. If she could get that artifact, she would be confident she could reach the Great Sage realm in a short time. (End of Chapter)
