My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

But it wasn't that she was reluctant to part with it.

She was worried that if she used that strange item, Lin Ye would suspect that she had switched it with another item!

It's a very reasonable choice. After all, stealing the sky and changing the moon can work against other rare items, and it might have a special effect on the Martial Emperor under certain circumstances.

Furthermore, the effects of the artifacts are almost mandatory. If the Empress were to use the artifacts she mentioned and perform a trick to switch things out, it would be very difficult to tell the difference.

That would make it seem like she stole the moon and hijacked the sky.

You can't do this to friends!

The Empress's idea of ​​taking precautions in advance was quite thoughtful.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, let me go deal with Yuan Ting this time."

The Martial Emperor's expression turned solemn: "In fact, I have long prepared a [great weapon] that can leave permanent scars on all of the old immortal's flesh and soul."

"I only regret that my soul is damaged, and I have never been able to find any trace of him."

Lin Ye pondered, "Could it be that he's afraid of your powerful weapon, fellow Daoist, and that's why he doesn't dare to cause trouble?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be inappropriate to use it?"

Emperor Wu shook his head: "Don't worry, that old codger doesn't know that I have this method. His wariness of me is not because of this."

"It is safest for my main body to remain in the Boundary Sea."

The Martial Emperor solemnly said, "But I don't want Fellow Daoist Lin to misunderstand that I want to push you forward to take the fall, so..."

“This time, Yu Lai should stop attacking Yuan.”

Lin Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Are you really determined to step into the limelight now?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Empress lowered her head and blushed slightly.

Lin Ye's words made it sound as if he wanted to protect her behind the scenes, as if their interests were intertwined.

When did our relationship become so good?!

While the Empress was still hesitating, Lin Ye added, "Right now, it's safest for you to stay behind the scenes while I'm in the spotlight."

"Even making Yuan Ting mistakenly believe that our relationship is that of superior and subordinate is tactically advantageous."

Lin Ye was somewhat excited: "Give me your ultimate weapon, and I'll deal with Yuan Ting."

The Martial Emperor suddenly realized: "So Fellow Daoist Lin wanted to test my ultimate weapon! You should have said so earlier!"

"Fellow martial artist, you really have no sense of romance." Lin Ye looked away. "When I said I wanted to protect you, was it just a lie?"

"Um... I'm sorry."

There's absolutely nothing wrong with it!

If dealing with Yuan Ting is the primary objective, then it would be most reasonable for Emperor Wu not to act rashly.

Moreover, Lin Ye also wanted to try out the powerful weapon she mentioned.

Another point is why Lin Ye has such trust in the current Martial Emperor.

Actually, it was because Lin Ye realized a serious problem:

It's true that the Martial Emperor once said he wanted to make him the Emperor!

But this is not a good thing...

Lin Ye had noticed a detail long ago: the source power of the two demonic cultivators was mutually attracted.

A cultivator specializing in a single type of demonic art, whose essence is merely a dense mass, cannot perceive this matter.

Since demonic cultivators cannot attain enlightenment, it is difficult for them to meet across eras. Theoretically, apart from the Martial Emperor who possesses three demonic arts, no one knows that the origins of demonic cultivators have such a strong mutual attraction.

But Lin Ye is an exception!

He forcibly absorbed some demonic power, only to discover that the power of different demonic cultivators was attracted to each other.

'The Martial Emperor's goal is to absorb the Emperor's power contained within the wondrous artifact, but there has been no progress so far.'

'Was her bringing the artifact back to the four continents also a way of weakening it, preparing to devour the Emperor's power within?'

'And demonic arts are also part of her preparation.'

'Unfortunately, these preparations weren't enough; she didn't succeed.'

But what if there are multiple demonic arts?

When they first met and were still quite unfamiliar with each other, Empress Wu said something meaningful...

They wanted to push Lin Ye to the throne of the Emperor.

Lin Ye thought about it and immediately guessed what she was thinking:

If even a demonic art inheritor at the Emperor level cannot absorb the alien power within the artifact!

What about those two emperors?

For example, Empress Wu became the supreme ruler.

Then it died and transformed into a strange object.

At this moment, Lin Ye succeeded her as the Emperor, and through the mutual attraction of their origins, he successfully devoured the strange object that the Martial Emperor had transformed into.

This strange object, being a manifestation of the Demon Emperor, will almost certainly absorb power.

The combined power absorbed by the two emperors.

Wouldn't that finally allow us to digest the other strange objects that were originally beyond the capacity of a single Emperor?

Lin Ye thought to himself, 'One question remains: how does she know that one Emperor-level demonic art inheritor is insufficient to devour the power of the wondrous object, while two would be enough?'

'Considering that the Martial Empress's power was once extremely close to that of an Emperor, I can only speculate that her judgment is close to the truth.'

'But regardless of whether the Martial Emperor's judgment is correct or not, she definitely wanted to meet another cultivator who had mastered the Great Completion of Demonic Arts a long time ago.'

'Although she said it unintentionally when we first met, our relationship is much better now than it was then.'

'Besides, I don't know how serious she is about this plan...'

Lin Ye's eyes darkened: "But one thing is certain, the allure of achieving Dao is immense."

If things continue like this, Lin Ye and the Martial Emperor will have a very, very long honeymoon period.

The more distrustful one is of the future Martial Emperor.

The more she understood, the clearer she was that she was safe.

Until the very end, as if by fate, they parted ways.

Lin Ye believed that if he were at the Emperor Realm, he would never be defeated by a Martial Emperor who was only a Quasi-Emperor.

But what if she wanted to use other factors in the universe to get rid of Lin Ye? Wouldn't that also be a problem?

When that day comes, the seed she planted in her heart back then will inevitably sprout again.

Just like how she hid for a long time, and then unleashed the Nine Tribulations Sword for gold coins...

This reveals that Empress Wu's personality was just like that.

A repressed passion... a silent cultivation... a betrayal kept bottled up inside...

If only she would give me the time of day.

You'll find that she's actually a kind and approachable person.

The allure of enlightenment was so strong that she could forget everything else.

Lin Ye thought to himself, "Shouldn't even the highest known level of favorability, two hundred, be able to break through his ten thousand years of persistence?"

For such a monk...

What should I do...?

Destroying the old immortal still requires the power of the Martial Emperor.

Moreover, for a long time, because she wanted to support Lin Ye in becoming an emperor, she was actually a very reliable ally.

Moreover, Empress Wu was usually very likable.

Lin Ye had an idea about the Martial Emperor.

He thought to himself:

If, and I mean if, two demonic cultivators were to practice dual cultivation, the fact that their origins would be mutually attracted would inevitably be revealed.

If Lin Ye takes the initiative, there is still a possibility of a major incident in the future.

However, if it was Empress Wu herself who took the initiative, it means that she had made sufficient mental preparations and completely abandoned this idea.

Lin Ye was also bewitched, wanting to win the heart of a cultivator who seemed extremely difficult to truly win over, but he remained calm.

'Dating her is a prelude to the great battle between emperors.'

"The one who confesses first loses." Lin Ye closed her eyes. "Never mind, that phrase sounds strangely familiar."

Of course, Lin Ye will adjust the plan at any time if he judges the situation to be appropriate.

After discussing the plan with Lin Ye, the Martial Emperor handed over the [Great Weapon] to him.

This is a murky crystal arrow, a broken and wondrous object.

Because it was so worn out, it could only be used as a disposable weapon.

It is called "Collapse and Extinction Punishment".

As Emperor Wu said, this wondrous artifact, in its final, all-consuming strike, could permanently inflict damage on all of Yuan Ting's avatars.

"The premise is that the Yuan Ting avatar hit by the powerful weapon cannot be too weak!"

Lin Ye asked, "Is this a limitation of rare items?"

“That’s right, hitting that old immortal with just a drop of blood isn’t enough.”

"The damage that would inflict on his other incarnations would be at most a drop of blood."

Lin Ye nodded: "I see."

The Martial Emperor said, "If the next avatar of his is weak, then don't use this."

"it is good."

"Use it, give that old geezer a good beating."

The Emperor laughed and said, "If all goes well, he probably won't dare to show his face in front of you for a long time."

Lin Ye examined the [Calamity and Extinction Punishment] repeatedly.

Suddenly, he paused and looked at his slender fingers.

On the index finger of his right hand, Emperor Wu discovered a trace of spatial debris.

This phenomenon is like a spatial artifact that was recently broken here.

Lin Ye seemed to realize something following her gaze, sighed softly, gently touched the knuckles where the ring had once been, and said, "I'm sorry..."

"The ring you gave me broke during the battle with Yuan Ting."

These words left Empress Wu feeling uneasy.

Lin Ye has not yet broken the curse that demonic cultivators cannot achieve great success.

Facing an enemy like Yuan Ting during this period was extremely dangerous every time.

In a way, I put him in danger.

1. Thinking of this, the Empress felt waves of self-reproach.

"No, I have to go with them..." the Martial Emperor thought to himself, waving his hands repeatedly, "Fellow Daoist Lin, what are you apologizing for!"

Lin: "I'll give you another ring right away!"

Is it appropriate?

⑹ As soon as Lin Ye responded, he saw the Martial Emperor's eyes flash and his cheeks flush slightly as he carefully lifted Lin Ye's wrist from across the table.

"Chirp, could it be..." Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

(i) The Martial Emperor took out a shiny precious ring and gently put it on the ring finger of Lin Ye's left hand.
