Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 516 The Imperial Preceptor's Secret: The Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion's Grand Plan!

The Empress's heart, which had been calm for more than ten years, was suddenly stirred by waves of emotion.

In the dead of night, a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East actually managed to come to her palace.

The Empress was overwhelmed with emotion as memories of the past flooded her mind.

The Kingdom of Women, as its name suggests, has always been ruled by women, with an empress in power ruling over all.

Many years ago, a royal advisor came to the Kingdom of Women. Because of his magical skills and profound magic, he became an honored guest of the Kingdom of Women.

The Queen of the Women's Kingdom increasingly valued the Grand Preceptor, granting him more and more power, and the Grand Preceptor's power and status in the Women's Kingdom also grew.

At some point, the title of "Imperial Advisor" had become synonymous with power throughout the entire Kingdom of Women, while the King had become nothing more than a mascot, a mere decoration.

If things had unfolded according to normal expectations, the next step would have been for the Grand Tutor to seize power, take over, and become the true overlord of the Women's Kingdom.

However, this scene did not occur in the Kingdom of Women. The Grand Preceptor continued to assist the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, and even received great treatment. However, he no longer gave the Queen any power, and kept the power firmly in his own hands.

When she was fifteen, her mother died of illness, and she succeeded her mother to the throne. Ten years have passed since then, but she still cannot fathom the true purpose of the royal advisor.

The Empress's heart pounded. She thought of opening the door to her bedchamber and letting Jiang Liuer in, but she was afraid that the Imperial Advisor would find out and cause a big problem!

After tossing and turning and thinking it over, the Empress made up her mind, dressed herself, got up and opened the door.

Outside the door, seeing the guards ignoring Jiang Liuer, they were immediately taken aback and quickly ordered Jiang Liuer to go inside.

The night was deep, the lights were dim, creating a hazy and indistinct atmosphere. Under such an atmosphere, the Empress appeared even more radiant and charming, her beauty captivating. Even Jiang Liuer's Dao heart, which had remained as steady as Mount Tai for countless millennia, was stirred by the ripples in his eyes.

Jiang Liuer slipped inside the Empress's room, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

"Elder, you have quite the audacity to trespass into the Empress's palace?"

The Empress glanced at Jiang Liuer indifferently, exuding a faint sense of oppression.

It felt like we were back on the day Jiang Liuer met the Empress.

Jiang Liuer calmly asked, "If it were a serious crime, why would Her Majesty the Empress open the door?"

The Empress paused slightly, then extended her hand. "Elder, please."

Jiang Liuer stepped forward and sat down with the Empress. The Empress did not stand on ceremony and got straight to the point, saying loudly, "Elder, you have come so late at night. You must have encountered something important. Please speak."

Jiang Liuer spoke slowly and deliberately, "I have come here to discuss matters concerning the Imperial Preceptor."

Imperial Advisor?

The Empress was visibly surprised. "The elders are new here. Do they have some kind of conflict with the Imperial Advisor?"

Jiang Liuer looked calmly at the Empress with his deep, dark eyes and said slowly, "Your Majesty should know that this is not what I am asking."

"The appearance of the Imperial Advisor has severely hindered the downward extension of imperial power, and over the years, it has even severed the connection between imperial power and the lower classes. What is the Imperial Advisor's purpose in doing this? And why does he do it?"

The Queen was silent for a moment, then asked, "Besides these, what else do you know?"

"Jieyang Mountain, Po'er Cave, and Luotai Spring in the due south direction. The Ruyi Zhenxian who appeared a few years ago was also the work of the National Preceptor. In the end, it created the phenomenon that a drop of Luotai Spring is worth more than an ounce of gold."

The Empress looked at the meticulous Jiang Liuer and slowly recounted all the information she knew about the Imperial Advisor.

After saying that, he added, "Besides these, there is one more strange thing. Every year, the Imperial Advisor would come and take a bowl of my blood. I dared not ask and could only do as the Imperial Advisor said. At first, I was very scared and thought the Imperial Advisor was going to harm me, but later I found that he was not. Moreover, after the blood was taken, the Imperial Advisor's attitude would be much better. Gradually, I got used to it."

"Taking blood? What's so great about taking mortal blood? Has this Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion changed so much over millions of years?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liuer frowned and began to ponder deeply.

Soon, a flash of inspiration struck him. The clue he had never had before finally came to him, allowing him to connect everything together.

The Imperial Advisor, also known as the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion, had no respect for the small, insignificant Kingdom of Women.

The reason why she stayed in the Kingdom of Women, held power and did not depose or install a new ruler was most likely because she still needed to rely on the extreme yin attribute of the empress.

The Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion possesses an extremely Yin attribute. The Women's Kingdom is a land of women, and it is also an extremely Yin place.

The Abortion Spring contains profound mysteries, the laws of Yin and Yang, and a rich and profound artistic conception, comparable to that of a sage, and it also contains unparalleled profound mysteries.

From this perspective, the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion's purpose is quite clear: to use the extreme yin power of the Women's Kingdom, combined with his own cultivation, to gradually refine and master the power hidden deep within the Abortion Spring.

After a moment, Jiang Liuer raised his head. "Does the Empress wish to regain power?"

The Empress nodded subconsciously. "It would be good if someone regained power."

But then a look of worry appeared on the Empress's face. "With the Imperial Advisor present, how easy is it?"

"What if I could help the Empress eliminate the Grand Tutor and regain power?"

Jiang Liuer smiled confidently.

The Empress blushed slightly as she recalled the words of her late mother before her death.

If one day someone helps you regain power, and it's a man, marry him.

"If the elder can truly help me, I am willing to repay him with my body after the matter is accomplished."

The Empress's firm voice made Jiang Liuer pause slightly, and she subconsciously said, "Let's talk about these things after things are done."

Late at night, in the palace, candlelight flickered. Jiang Liuer and the Empress talked for a long time before leaving the palace.

On this side, Jiang Liuer acted swiftly, almost touching the essence of the truth.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong left the palace and flew all the way to the front of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

The Imperial Preceptor's residence was indeed magnificent and extraordinary. Its vast area, numerous buildings, and luxurious, beautiful, and mysterious architecture were unmatched by any other place in the Women's Kingdom except for the Imperial City.

Upon flying above the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Sun Wukong immediately sensed a demonic aura soaring into the sky!

Sun Wukong subtly released his aura, deliberately targeting this demonic energy. Soon, there was a commotion at the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

An aura, moving at incredible speed, locked onto Sun Wukong and flew directly from the Imperial Preceptor's residence towards him.

Sun Wujue's eyes narrowed, and in a flash, he flew towards the direction of Jieyang Mountain.

In the void, Sun Wukong was in front, and the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion was behind, chasing each other without distinction.

Soon, the two sides arrived at the territory of Jieyang Mountain. Inside the Po'er Cave, the little black dragon lay on a rocking chair, comfortably shaking its head.

The True Immortal Ruyi gave the little black dragon a fawning massage. After a while, she would ask if it was too light or too heavy, making the little black dragon feel very comfortable.

"Ruyi, your technique is quite good. It's a pity you're staying in the Women's Kingdom. Have you ever heard of the Southern Continent, the Great Tang Dynasty?"
