One of my fairy-like friends

The results may seem the same, but they are actually different.

Fei Xuan harbored a deep-seated resistance to Ming Yan, so she was very restrained in her interactions with him, rarely showing her emotions and never displaying her strengths in front of him. As time went on, Ming Yan naturally grew tired of this dynamic.

But Mingyan didn't have that natural resistance to his feelings; he genuinely considered her a friend, and felt a sense of openness and confidence...

That's why my friendship with him has deteriorated.

Chapter 160 Fire Prevention, Theft Prevention, and Protection Against Mistresses

Huang Feiyan handed the blood to Huang Junyi, who looked at the bright red blood in the bottle and said, "This little bit of blood can be used to confirm our findings again..."

“Mingyan told me before that there might be no way to deal with a Qi Sea Realm Human King Body, but there is definitely a way to deal with a Great Human King Body. He probably guessed that there is some connection between the blood of the Human King Body and the Phoenix Blood, or rather, he guessed that the blood of the Human King Body can activate the Phoenix Blood,” Huang Feiyan said.

"He's certainly not good enough now, but how long will it take for him to reach his full potential?" Although Huang Junyi had high hopes for Ming Yan, the other women in the Huang family couldn't wait that long. Many of them didn't want to cultivate immortality but still wanted to continue the family line...

The woman from the Huang family who is closest to the end of her lifespan has 57 years left. If she is to reach the Great Perfection of the Mingyan Realm, it will take at least a thousand years. Even if it is faster, at the fastest speed, it will probably take eight or nine hundred years. In eight or nine hundred years, except for a very few cultivators with profound cultivation like them, all the other women from the Huang family will probably have passed away long ago. The Huang family cannot wait that long.

The Phoenix Blood Pool does indeed need to be reactivated in this way, since Mingyan's human king blood can indeed revitalize the Phoenix Blood Pool to a certain extent. However, the problem is that Mingyan's cultivation level is too low, and the effect of his blood energy is too low, which is completely insufficient.

Before Mingyan becomes a fully grown king and reaches the half-step extreme path, perhaps his blood will not be enough to activate the Phoenix Blood Pool.

Although it might be enough for Mingyan to reach the half-step extreme path, they need to plan for the best and worst. Therefore, under these circumstances, hoping to restore the life force of the Phoenix Blood Pool after Mingyan has reached the Great Perfection would take at least eight or nine hundred to one thousand years.

During such a long period of time, how could the women of the Huang family continue their lineage?

The relationship between Huang Feiyan and Ming Yan is of paramount importance to the Huang family. If Ming Yan can achieve great success, he can bring the Huang family countless benefits. The most obvious is the protection of nine thousand years. The lifespan of a fully-fledged human king body is much longer than that of an ordinary human king body, almost reaching that of a great emperor. Theoretically, one could even live a second life with the help of the elixir of immortality. Of course, the human king body who was on good terms with the Huang family did not live a second life. It seems that none of the human king bodies in history have ever lived a second life.

The reason is unclear.

For someone comparable to an ultimate emperor to be able to protect the Phoenix Clan during a period approaching the Dark Ages, this is an incredibly precious thing.

Dark Ages generally last a very long time. To end them, all the invaders from other realms who have invaded their world must be exterminated. But it is not that simple. There are also Emperor-level invaders, and sometimes there are more than one. Even the Great Emperors have to fight hard, get injured, or even perish. In the Dark Ages, no one can say that they are in absolute safety.

But obviously, having the protection of a fully grown king would make one feel much more at ease.

In addition, Huang Feiyan and Ming Yan being together is also an experiment, testing whether the results they discovered earlier are really developing as they expected.

If that's true... before the Phoenix Blood Pool regains its vitality, the women of the Phoenix family will have a way to continue their lineage...

Although the method was a bit strange.

"The existence of the Human King Physique is too mysterious." Huang Junyi put away her blood and said, "Not only is it born for battle, but it can also bring blessings to those around it... Such a physique is simply too heaven-defying. If it grows up, it will be fine, but if it doesn't, it will probably attract unwanted attention."

"Fortunately, he encountered us first," Huang Feiyan said with a sigh.

“Yes, it’s fortunate that we were the ones who encountered him at the beginning.” Huang Junyi smiled slightly. “Now he has enough power around him to protect him as he grows up. Feng Lingyueying, Huang family, and maybe even the Holy Yuan Dynasty in the future. Hehe, Feiyan, you have to keep a close eye on Mingyan. Even if he gives up on Feixuan later, there will probably be other women around him who want to compete with you.”

Huang Feiyan thought about it and felt that her second aunt was right. It wasn't just her who could see the good in Mingyan. There would always be someone who could see the good in him. So she not only had to make Mingyan fall in love with her, but she also needed to guard against her second aunt... oops, against a mistress.

Meanwhile, as soon as Mingyan settled in, some young ladies from the Huang family began to look him over from outside. Mingyan noticed that everyone was quite interested in him, which made him a little embarrassed, since he was a man and no man had ever visited the Huang family before.

The last time he came in, it was just to meet Aunt Ning, the Queen Mother of the West. Although it was the first time a man had come in, this time he went even further and simply stayed at the Huang family's residence.

The sight of so many beautiful women, resembling a land of women, filled Mingyan with a strange feeling...

Unfortunately, these young ladies weren't wary of him at all. Perhaps because the family consisted mostly of women, the young ladies of the Huang family were dressed rather lightly and revealingly.

The women of the Huang family who went out were fine; their attire was extremely proper. But the women of the Huang family who would spend their entire lives living in the Huang family were different...

The interior of the Huang family compound is generally hot, all year round. Although there are some places in the inner courtyard where one can experience the four seasons, most of the Huang family compound is generally hot.

In this context, the women of the Huang family naturally wore revealing clothing, and their large expanses of white skin were extremely eye-catching.

"Don't look at what you shouldn't look at," Mingyan closed his window, feeling a little ashamed. He felt that the young ladies' eyes were a bit strange, like a pack of wolves looking at a little lamb that had wandered in... Was it just his imagination?

And I should have gone back earlier.

However, Fei Yan seemed to have something else on her mind that asked him to stay. Ming Yan thought about it for a moment, shook his head, sat on the bed, and began to cultivate.

After Mingyan entered the Qi Sea, his entire body underwent certain changes, with the most significant changes occurring within the Qi Sea.

In Mingyan's view, the Qi Sea realm should be considered a watershed moment in cultivation.

Upon reaching the Qi Sea, cultivators undergo earth-shattering changes.

First, there is the change from nothing to something. It can generate spiritual energy on its own without relying on external spiritual energy. This is too unique. After all, in some places, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is lacking. If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cannot be replenished, it is very dangerous to move around in such places. If a cultivator loses spiritual energy, he will be unable to move an inch.

Before reaching the Qi Sea, there are two realms: Yinling and Yangling. Once these two realms are mastered, the Yin and Yang within the body will automatically enter a relatively stable state.

The cultivation of Qi Sea is about regulating Yin and Yang Qi to enter a state of complete balance.

Mingyan cultivated for a while, then opened his eyes. He sensed someone outside the door, moving stealthily and doing something. He raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a moment, then went over and opened the door.

Chapter 161 Shocking Change

Mingyan pushed open the door and found two women from the Huang family standing outside. They were startled, and their faces flushed slightly when they saw Mingyan come out, their eyes looking somewhat evasive.

Mingyan opened his mouth, about to ask a question, but then noticed that the two young ladies from the Huang family had hurriedly left.

“…” Ming Yan shut his mouth, and then noticed a familiar figure in the courtyard. She was dressed in green and had a smile on her face.

In the Huang family, she seemed to be the only one who wore blue robes, and that was Huang Qingfei.

“Auntie.” Mingyan bowed.

Huang Qingfei wore a faint smile on her pretty face, "You must be tired of troubling me all the time, right?"

“I didn’t say that.” Mingyan shook his head and smiled, “It’s more satisfying to be needed.”

Huang Qingfei smiled and said, "You certainly know how to talk."

Huang Qingfei walked closer. Her attire was unique among the women of the Huang family. She had a gentle and refined temperament. Compared to the women of the Huang family, she was less domineering and more gentle. Looking at her now, she did indeed seem more like Ning Mengru, whom she was close to.

"Auntie, have you been feeling alright lately?" Mingyan asked. The Huang family had used his blood to clear the toxins from Huang Qingfei's body, and the problem had been eradicated. Mingyan was just being polite.

“Of course, in fact, I’m in even better shape now than before.” Huang Qingfei walked up to Ming Yan with a gentle smile. She was slightly shorter than Ming Yan and carried an elegant fragrance. “Thanks to you.”

"I wouldn't say it's all thanks to me..."

"Of course it's thanks to you. Your blood has had some effects that you probably didn't even expect." Huang Qingfei's smile held a hint of deeper meaning.

"Hmm? What are its effects?" Mingyan asked, a little curious.

Huang Qingfei smiled and shook her head. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt a tremor in the world. The sky, which had been clear and blue, suddenly turned gloomy, and then a torrential rain began to fall. The howling wind sounded like crying.

Huang Qingfei's pretty face changed drastically. She opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief, "This...how is this possible?!"

Mingyan also felt a tremor in his heart, as if something had been shattered and collapsed. He sensed that something bad had happened. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was gloomy and the sky seemed to be wailing. It was very similar to when Huang Junru wiped out the Xuanji Realm cultivator of the Yun family, but this time, the scale was even bigger.

Could it be that someone has passed away?

In an instant, everyone in the Eastern Continent was shaken. The higher one's cultivation, the more one could feel the Great Dao trembling and wailing. Accompanied by the sound of shattering, it swept across the entire Yao Guang Star. Wherever it reached, all the humans and demons couldn't help but raise their heads and involuntarily felt a sense of sorrow.

The cold wind howled, the sky was gloomy, and the sound of the wind was accompanied by a faint weeping, giving a sense of impending storm.

A fierce wind arose on the calm sea, a violent tsunami rolled, and dark clouds gathered, blocking out the sunlight in the sky and shrouding the entire planet Yaoguang in darkness.

Beyond Yao Guang Star, the stars also trembled slightly, losing their original brilliance and dimming.

A Saint Lord-level figure trembled, raising his head to look at the sky, "This feeling... could it be that being..."

"Impossible... How could this be..." Among the demons, some also turned pale.

Huang Qingfei's eyes were glazed over. "This...how is this possible?! Why would such a thing happen?"

"Aunt, what exactly happened?" Mingyan could also feel a pang of fear. Seeing Huang Qingfei so distraught, he asked.

"...This feeling...Impossible...She's only a little over two thousand years old, yet she ruled the world for over seventeen thousand years...How could she suddenly perish?!"

Mingyan didn't understand what she meant at first, but then he thought about it and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that his aunt was talking about Empress Qingzi?!

Empress Qingzi has fallen?! This...?!

As the Dark Ages approached, the existence of a human empress was a very reassuring thing. It was like having someone tall enough to hold up the sky if it fell. The existence of an ultimate emperor always brought peace of mind.

But now, Empress Qingzi has suddenly perished before the Dark Ages arrive...

How much of a shock will this cause?

Without the existence of the Supreme Emperor, the sacrifices they would have made in the face of the Dark Turmoil would have been magnified many times over...

Moreover, many are beginning to realize that this ninth Dark Turmoil is far from simple, and may very well be far more severe than previous Dark Turmoils...

Huang Qingfei came to her senses and looked at Ming Yan, "Wait for me here. I will personally escort you back to the Fenglingyueying Holy Land. If it is indeed the Empress who has fallen, then this world will undergo a tremendous change."

The existence of a powerful female emperor not only means that they are more confident in the face of darkness and turmoil, but also that there will be no other bloody incidents.

However, without the suppression of the Supreme Emperor, certain beings may awaken.

There is almost no doubt that this is a painful history experienced by both the human and demon races. Therefore, even if the existence of the Supreme Emperor would cause the Great Dao to suppress the laws, people would still prefer the existence of the Supreme Emperor, because at least they could cultivate immortality in peace without having to face all sorts of chaotic and terrifying events.

Just as Huang Qingfei was about to leave, a vast imperial might swept in, the majestic imperial might enveloping the entire world. The powerful pressure that made people want to bow down and submit caused everyone's soul to tremble slightly. But soon, the imperial might became gentle and did not force anyone to kneel. Then, the imperial might soared into the sky, dispersing the dark clouds and restoring clarity to the world.

Huang Qingfei was stunned, then looked at Ming Yan with a strange expression, "What... what exactly is going on? The Supreme Emperor's Might...? Does that mean Empress Qingzi is alright?"

For a time, people all over Yaoguang Star were confused. Could it be a misunderstanding? Had Empress Qingzi not perished?

Without a doubt, the oppressive aura that everyone just experienced was the supreme imperial might. Only the supreme imperial might could make one's soul tremble and want to kneel down.

But there can never be two emperors in one lifetime. If the mournful cry of heaven and earth just now was the fall of Empress Qingzi, then what will be the situation with the imperial power afterward?

Only Mingyan felt heavy-hearted. He had sensed that the imperial aura he had just felt was approachable... It wasn't the imperial aura of Empress Qingzi at all, but rather the imperial aura of his half-step into the ultimate realm, the Great Adult King Body, Wang Qingchu.

So does that mean... Empress Qingzi has truly died and vanished?

How could this be? How could a supreme emperor suddenly perish?!

Chapter 162 Damage to the Laws of Space

The Emperor Realm is undoubtedly the highest peak in the current cultivation system, and only one person can reach it in a lifetime. Once someone reaches the Emperor Realm, no one who enters the Human King Realm afterward will have any chance to break through to the Emperor Realm, no matter how talented they are.

Therefore, the Emperor Realm represents undeniable power. Moreover, those who stand out from the crowd and reach the Emperor Realm are themselves top-notch geniuses, and many of them are invincible among their peers.

It is precisely because of this that one can attain the ultimate Dao and become a Great Emperor.

Therefore, after reaching the level of the Great Emperor, it was virtually impossible for them to find someone who could serve as an opponent.

Unless there is a special physique, some special physiques are extremely powerful, giving them the ability to challenge the Great Emperor even in the half-step extreme realm.

But challenging the Emperor is one thing, defeating him is another.

It can be said that once you reach the level of the Supreme Emperor, you are invincible. Even during the Dark Ages, when there were Emperor-level powerhouses among the invaders from other realms, the Supreme Emperors did not lose in one-on-one battles. Although there were Supreme Emperors in history who died in the Dark Ages, they were not defeated.
