117: Disciple bewitches master

Ling Long shook her head slowly, one hand gently covering her lower abdomen, a maternal soft light and determination appearing on her face.

"Revered Master, this Disciple's mind is made up."

"Furthermore, this Disciple is already carrying His Majesty's flesh and blood."

"In this life and this world, I will never leave His Majesty or Taiyan."

"You... what did you say?!" Ye Lian and Chu Sheng cried out simultaneously, their faces full of disbelief.

Pregnant?

Ling Long had actually conceived a child for that Lower Realm emperor?

In their view, this was simply destroying her own future, absolutely ridiculous!

Chu Sheng's eyes were nearly splitting with rage as he pointed at Ling Long, his fingers trembling. "You... you actually... Ling Long! You have disappointed your Junior Martial Uncle too much!"

"If Ye Xuan knew of this in the afterlife, how heartbroken he would be!"

Just as the atmosphere in the hall reached its breaking point.

A peerless figure stepped in gracefully; it was Di Yunshu.

With a faint smile, her gaze swept over the ashen-faced Chu Sheng before fixing on Ye Lian's still-shocked face.

"I am Di Yunshu, Imperial Concubine of Taiyan." Di Yunshu's voice was pleasant, carrying a natural nobility. "Greetings, Fairy Ye Lian."

"Just now outside, I happened to hear your conversation."

"Perhaps I can explain a few things on their behalf."

Ye Lian composed herself and looked at Di Yunshu.

She could feel a faint pressure emanating from the other woman.

This left her completely baffled.

This person was clearly only at the True Immortal Realm, yet she made her, a Heavenly Immortal, feel pressure. It was truly inconceivable!

"Please speak, Imperial Concubine."

Di Yunshu smiled slightly and sat down in the empty seat next to Ling Long, looking at Ye Lian calmly. "Fairy, what do you think of my Taiyan Immortal Court compared to the Myriad Laws Star Realm's Burial Sword Sect?"

Ye Lian mused, "The Taiyan Immortal Court's ability to rule all directions in this Realm is naturally impressive."

"But the Myriad Laws Star Realm is a higher-level world, and the Burial Sword Sect is a leader among them, with a long Legacy and deep Foundations. It is by no means comparable to ordinary forces."

She spoke politely, but her meaning was clear: she believed the Burial Sword Sect was far superior to Taiyan.

Di Yunshu remained non-committal and continued, "Then, has the Fairy ever carefully sensed this world?"

Hearing this, Ye Lian subconsciously released her Divine Sense to carefully perceive the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Upon this perception, her expression instantly changed.

Just now, she had been too focused on talking to Ling Long to pay much attention.

Only now did she discover that the purity and density of the immortal spiritual qi in this Five Evolutions True Realm was more than ten times higher than she had expected!

It was even close to some of the Blessed Lands in the core regions of the Myriad Laws Star Realm!

But how was this possible?

It was just a Major Thousand Worlds.

How could it have such a superior cultivation environment?

"It seems the Fairy has felt it." Di Yunshu smiled at Ye Lian's changing expression. "The Five Evolutions True Realm is no longer what it used to be."

"His Majesty used supreme Divine Abilities to reshape heaven and earth and regulate the Great Dao. Now, the abundance of immortal spirits and the magnitude of potential here are rare even in the entire Myriad Laws Star Realm."

"In a few more years, it won't be impossible to surpass the Myriad Laws Star Realm."

She paused, her voice carrying a power that pierced straight to the heart. "Fairy, you've been stuck at the Initial Stage Celestial Immortal for quite a few years now, haven't you?"

"Do you feel that the path ahead is bleak and that you can't Breakthrough no matter what?"

"The Burial Sword Sect has many resources, but how much is left after being distributed to each peak and individual?"

"You know better than I do how fierce the internal competition is, Fairy."

Ye Lian fell silent.

Di Yunshu's words had struck her deepest hidden anxieties.

"But staying in our Taiyan is completely different." Di Yunshu's tone was certain. "His Majesty is thirsty for talent and is even more generous to his own people."

"Resources, Cultivation Techniques, guidance—as long as you have potential, His Majesty will never be stingy."

"Fairy might as well look at Sister Ling Long, and then look at... me."

As she spoke, Di Yunshu took the initiative to release a hint of her own aura.

In an instant, a pure and vast fluctuation faintly emanated.

"Heavenly Immortal Perfection?!"

Ye Lian's heart jolted, and then she suddenly understood.

No wonder she felt pressure from Di Yunshu earlier; it turned out she had hidden her cultivation.

Beside her, Chu Sheng frowned imperceptibly, a look of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

This Taiyan is not simple.

Seeing the change in Ye Lian's eyes, the corner of Di Yunshu's mouth hooked up imperceptibly.

She didn't have any Heavenly Immortal Perfection cultivation; she had merely used some bluffing techniques from her past life.

"My original Aptitude was only average-to-high, and being able to Cultivate to immortality was already luck." Di Yunshu withdrew her aura and said calmly, "But after following His Majesty and receiving his grace, not only has my cultivation increased greatly and my Foundation been reshaped, but I also feel that the path ahead is bright."

"All this is because His Majesty's abilities are beyond imagination."

"His future is limitless. Following him means stepping onto a path to the heavens."

Ling Long also spoke at this time, her tone sincere: "Revered Master, what Sister Yunshu says is all true. What this Disciple has obtained here is far more than when I was in the Sect."

"His Majesty has great vision and a broad mind, and he treats those around him with genuine sincerity."

"This Disciple believes that if Revered Master is willing to stay, you will surely be able to Breakthrough your Bottleneck as you wish and see even higher scenery."

"As for the Burial Sword Sect, it can no longer give Revered Master these things."

The two of them spoke in harmony, their words constantly washing away Ye Lian's mental defenses.

She had been trapped as a Heavenly Immortal for a long time, her Dao Heart was flawed, and she craved power even more. Her heart gradually began to waver.

"Nonsense! Pure lies!" Chu Sheng could no longer listen and flew into a rage. "Ye Lian! Don't listen to the bewitchment of these two enchantresses!"

"What path to the heavens, what limitless future! Just a Lower Realm emperor who dares to be so arrogant just because he has a little Opportunity!"

"Ye Lian, come back with me! The Burial Sword Sect is where you belong!"

He glared at Di Yunshu and Ling Long, his killing intent boiling. "You two, bewitching our Sect's Peak Master and driving a wedge between our Sect's relationships, you deserve ten thousand deaths!"

"Today, I will clean out the Sect on its behalf!"

As his voice fell, Sword Qi erupted from all over Chu Sheng's body, and he was about to attack Ling Long.

This wretched woman not only betrayed his Disciple but was now bewitching his sweetheart; she simply deserved to die!

However, Di Yunshu only gave him a cold glance, without even making a move.

In the next moment.

An invisible force appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping the enraged Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng only felt the surrounding space solidify and the power of the Great Dao flow poorly; even his fingers were hard to move. Before his expression of horror could fully show, he vanished from the spot.

Only Di Yunshu, Ling Long, and the deeply shaken and pale-faced Ye Lian remained in the hall.

"A mere Initial Stage Celestial Immortal dares to act wild in Taiyan." Di Yunshu's tone was indifferent, then she turned her gaze to Ye Lian, her tone softening. "Fairy, the nuisance has been cleared out."

"Now, you can properly consider the proposal from Ling Long and me."

"Will you hold onto that stagnant past, or embrace this future full of infinite possibilities?"
