My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

After thinking it over carefully, the Empress realized that Lin Ye's willingness to listen to her explanation already showed that he had a very good temper.

She continued, "But I have an unfinished mission that I need to complete within the Star of Discipline. Just having me by your side is enough!"

"After you, junior brother, obtain the Star of Discipline, the location might change. Although I was frightened by this, I really didn't want to argue with you! Junior brother, believe me—"

The Martial Emperor said with piercing eyes, "You are also very important to me!"

After saying that, her heart couldn't help but race.

Some things aren't a matter of courage. If you've been single for 110,000 years, you'll get tired of it.

"Hmm...~"

Lin Ye glanced at the back of his hand casually, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled faintly. This smile made the Martial Emperor's heart tremble.

"Get up, Senior Sister Wu."

Great.

He forgave me!

The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Putting herself in his shoes, she realized her story was hard to believe... 'My junior brother is so good to me!'

Empress Wu didn't see herself as a sycophant; after all, she had to make amends for the parts of Li Yinling's actions that she felt were wrong, and she was far too guilty.

With Lin Ye's help, she stood up, her expression seemingly calm, but her heart was still racing from her earlier confession.

Lin Ye smiled and said, "I also have some good news for you..."

The Martial Emperor's eyes lit up: "Yes, I also want to congratulate you..."

"My mother is still alive!"

"Junior brother, that's wonderful!" The Martial Emperor nodded with a beaming smile.

To be honest, she was indeed happy that the Lord of the Great Wilderness was still alive, but she also felt a lot of pressure. Naturally, she could only put on a smiling face in front of Lin Ye, as women in the matriarchal era were not free to choose their own lives.

Be alert and don't lose face!

Lin Ye patted the Martial Emperor on the back and said, "A woman should have backbone. Next time I see you kneeling, I hope it's because..."

Lin Ye looked away as she spoke, "Never mind."

The Empress's eyes widened.

What is it?

Could it be a marriage proposal?

What else could it be after all this talk!

'I...I...should I prepare a ring?' The Empress suppressed her complicated feelings, somewhat bewildered.

She was led by Lin Ye towards the Tianbao World.

"Senior sister, these bloody slash marks in the sky are spreading. Please collect them. This area is my territory."

"oh oh..."

The blood-red slash marks, like wounds in the sky that kept widening, even began to drip a viscous substance like blood, eerie and unsettling.

The Martial Emperor's fingers swept across the sky, as if wiping away dirt from his sight. He could even influence existence with his consciousness. With a flick of his fingertip, he wiped away the bloody slash marks in his subjective vision without a trace.

But this powerful woman was now pondering Lin Ye's words repeatedly, wondering if they contained any deeper meaning.

On the way back, Wu Huang noticed that Lin Ye was in a good mood and treated him very well, speaking softly and gently, which made Wu Huang feel even more unpredictable.

Thinking that she might meet the Lord of the Great Wilderness upon returning, she tentatively said, "Junior brother, I want to tell you a secret..."

Lin Ye took her hand and asked gently, "What secret?"

"There's something I shouldn't have kept from you, something I should have told you sooner—" The Martial Emperor puffed out his full chest: "I am the Martial Emperor, your grandmaster!"

"..."

"I already knew it."

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, both Emperor Wu and Yin Lin were dumbfounded.

"When?"

Lin Ye gazed at her intently, pointing to the sky: "The power of that strike, and the repeated mention of the Star of Discipline in the 'Precious Mirror,' it's not hard to guess."

Emperor Wu was struck dumb, as if by a thunderbolt.

It turns out we've already been exposed!

Moreover, instead of the expected shocked expression from Lin Ye, he was instead met with disdain!

While it's normal to be disliked after your hidden identity is discovered, however...

Empress Wu felt unwilling to accept this.

She had to do something to shock Lin Ye! (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

However, she always suspected that even if she took out the ring and proposed now, her junior brother would still remain calm and composed.

Uh ah...

Is this something we can only try to address after marriage...?

'Hmm? Why did I naturally start thinking about married life?'

The Empress was led back to the Tianbao World in a daze.

Then they were told that the Lord of the Great Wilderness had fallen back into a deep sleep after working for a while.

The Martial Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Turns out, you don't have to deal with the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship!

Moreover, Empress Wu was actually quite understanding.

After all, her body is still sleeping in the bronze coffin.

Just as the Lord of the Great Wilderness had Lin Ye guard the corpse, she also had her daughter Bai Yue take on the responsibility of guarding the corpse, which made her feel the weight of fate.

The Martial Emperor hesitated, saying, "However, I have already destroyed the Nine Heavens."

"Yuan Ting is half-dead now. Is there any occasion where we can wipe out its remaining remnants?"

Lin Ye waved his hand and said, "Yuan Ting suffered a great blow this time. If he is completely disheartened, he will definitely gather all his avatars and ascend to leave. If he still wants to die, he will have to use most of his resources when rebuilding the Celestial Court."

"I think that if I defeat him one more time, I can kill him completely before he ascends to immortality."

The Martial Emperor nodded thoughtfully and said, "Indeed, simple!"

"What you said makes me feel much more relieved..."

Lin Ye said, "Just be careful—Grandmaster, may I continue to call you Senior Sister Wu?"

The Martial Emperor paused for a moment, then patted Lin Ye's head and said, "That's good."

"Senior Sister Wu, I've reconsidered what happened earlier."

"Hmm, what's wrong?" The Martial Emperor blinked curiously.

Lin Ye said softly, "If I destroy the Star of Discipline, do I still need to care whether Senior Sister pays more attention to the Star of Discipline or to me?"

The Martial Emperor was suddenly startled: "No—don't destroy it!"

“When I say destroy, I mean devour, like Senior Sister…” Lin Ye’s eyes shone brightly.

"Can you teach me your way?"

[Wild Curse: The true colors are revealed!]

Lin Ye gently stroked Wu Xiangjun's cheek, his gaze seemingly carrying a sickly, eerie light that sent chills down Wu Xiangjun's spine.

In her eyes, Lin Ye's gaze was as dangerous as a venomous snake, and the Martial Emperor froze.

and many more...

Because it is felt that the Star of Discipline has taken away too much attention from the people, it wants to destroy and eliminate it?

Junior brother...you're terrifying!

The Martial Emperor gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that I don't want to teach you, but there's one condition that's hard to meet!"

"Demonic arts..."

"Only demonic cultivators can devour rare objects! Although Senior Sister's fortune was also acquired later, Junior Brother, your body is much more precious than that of a fully-fledged demonic cultivator, and it would be very difficult to exchange it."

The Empress explained.

Lin Ye remained silent for a moment.

[Huang Zhou: Good heavens, isn't Master a demonic cultivator? That settles it!]

......

The Dark Ages.

Recently, Wu Xiangjun has been having some dreams.

What she dreamed of was naturally the scene of herself and Lin Ye together ten thousand years later. The Martial Emperor was not yet Lin Ye's Daoist partner, and her dream was not as clear as that of the Lord of the Great Wilderness. It felt as hazy as an ordinary dream.

Wu Xiangjun initially dismissed it: 'My soul is severely damaged; I'm even experiencing uncontrollable dreams!'

'However, Fellow Daoist Lin actually appeared in my dream, haha...'

'After all, I don't have any other friends!'

Wu Xiangjun's doubts stopped at why Lin Ye was so indifferent in her dream.

It wasn't until recently that she began to feel anxious.

Because Lin Ye told her personally—

He was dreaming too.

He was having the same dream as me!

This was Lin Ye's initiative to reveal the truth and test the waters.

This made Emperor Wu of ten thousand years ago feel uneasy.

In her dream, she couldn't control her actions, but according to Lin Ye's description, he could!

'Perhaps my soul is damaged?'

Wu Xiangjun subconsciously didn't say it aloud. She didn't tell Lin Ye that she was also having this dream because she didn't want the uncontrollable dream to ruin their real relationship.

'I should have told him...'

After that, the dream began to make the Empress feel uneasy.

This dream brought her anxiety to its peak.

In the dream, I and Fellow Daoist Lin revealed our identities as inheritors of demonic arts... Afterwards, the two of us actually placed our palms together, feeling each other's demonic power.

This horrified the Empress.

Not for any other reason than that her biggest secret was about to be revealed in her dream!

This seemingly easy exchange of blows will allow Fellow Daoist Lin to discover the rules of mutual attraction between demonic arts!

'How could I possibly dream of this?'

The attraction of demonic arts, which Wu Shijie no longer cared about ten thousand years later, was Wu Xiangjun's biggest worry.

She also had ample reason: 'I have already given up on achieving my goal by killing Fellow Daoist Lin, but I cannot prove it!'

'Once Fellow Daoist Lin discovers the strong mutual attraction between the demonic powers, he will realize the possibility of them devouring each other, and will naturally become wary.'

Can her relationship with Yu ever go back to the way it was?

Wu Xiangjun awoke uneasily from her meditation, finding herself drenched in cold sweat.

The next day.

Lin Ye arrived with wine and food.

Wu Xiangjun forced a smile and went to greet her, her expression gentle but somewhat strained.

Some things, if you don't pay attention to them, they seem insignificant, but if you put them on the scale, they can weigh a ton!
