170: Chapter 170 Signing the Ancient Contract

[And in the future, she will become a "friend" of the Fate Cultivator and will inevitably ascend to the Immortal Realm.]

"So it turns out to be an Empress from the ancient era. Has her cultivation exceeded the Great Emperor realm? How truly terrifying!"

"It seems she is also a powerhouse from the same era as Alchemy Emperor Xinghe."

"She actually possesses a dual divine body, which is not inferior at all to the divine body my master possesses."

After reading this information, Ye Xuan's eyes widened significantly, and his heart was filled with shock.

"Will she still think I am a person of great destiny and thus possess my sea of consciousness? It seems this supreme existence is Alchemy Emperor Xinghe's greatest opportunity!"

There was a lot of information, but Ye Xuan could immediately determine that this must be the opportunity for the protagonist, Xinghe.

However, to be fair, this protagonist is not at all weaker than the Molly by Yun Zhe's side, having such a female Emperor by his side.

"If I hadn't snatched this opportunity, I'm afraid this Xian Linglong would have become Xinghe's confidante in the future. Good thing I arrived at Yan City early. Hehehe, a future female immortal will be my backer from now on!"

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan's eyes became much more fervent, staring straight at Xian Linglong's indistinct immortal shadow.

"Kid, why is your gaze so strange? Weren't you quite afraid of me just now? Why are you looking at me like that now?"

Xian Linglong's noble and cold, majestic and domineering immortal voice drifted over. Ye Xuan couldn't help but step back several paces, feeling a faint imperial pressure and a hint of targeted curious gaze.

"Hmm? No wonder you were able to pierce my Immortal Spiritual Profound Coffin; it turns out you have the hand bone of an immortal. Hmm? That sword in your hand is also not an ordinary object; it seems to be an immortal artifact?"

Xian Linglong examined Ye Xuan and instantly saw through the uniqueness of the zhu xian sword and the Golden Hand in Ye Xuan's hand. She said with some surprise: "An immortal's hand bone? This thing is actually an immortal's hand bone?"

After hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but look at the Golden Hand in his hand again. This was an opportunity he had snatched from the previous protagonist, Lin Feng.

"Kid, you pierced my Immortal Spiritual Profound Coffin. Speak, how are you going to compensate this Empress now? You've gotten yourself into trouble, karmic entanglement with a Great Emperor!"

Xian Linglong approached Ye Xuan step by step, her aura almost completely locking onto him. Seemingly seeing Ye Xuan's extraordinary and handsome face, there was a hint of playfulness in her tone.

"Oh? Zixiao Divine Thunder Body? Chaos Divine Fire Body? And a strange source; could it be a new divine body? What kind of freak are you, kid? Where did you pop out from?"

"Light Profound Power, hehe, you can actually possess such a sacred object? Furthermore, within your soul, there is a heaven and earth sacred object—the Saintly Emotion Gu... and you have actually practiced that legendary 'Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Art'. Kid, you really surprise this Empress!"

In just one encounter, the secrets hidden within Ye Xuan's body had been thoroughly seen through by Xian Linglong. She even knew what color underwear he was wearing.

"That... that... Sister Fairy, I really didn't mean to. If I had known that the immortal jade was your treasure, Sister Fairy... I definitely wouldn't have used this hand bone to poke it..."

Ye Xuan felt a bit guilty and hid the Golden Hand behind his back. He couldn't afford to compensate for the Immortal Spiritual Jade Coffin.

"Hmm? Sister Fairy? You called me Sister Fairy? It's really been many years since anyone called me that."

A look of nostalgia flashed in Xian Linglong's beautiful eyes, and a deep sense of loneliness spread from her. Since she stepped onto the path of cultivation, she had walked all the way to the present.

Relatives, clansmen, friends, fellow Daoists—all of them had dissipated in the long river of time because their cultivation was insufficient.

"Hmm, kid, since you broke my Immortal Spiritual Profound Coffin and left this sister without a home, you must compensate me with a home!"

Under the sacred radiance, a smile appeared on Xian Linglong's stunning face for the first time, as if the entire space-time had stilled for it.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan naturally couldn't see such beautiful scenery; he was just staring blankly at Xian Linglong.

"Ah, no way, the only home I can compensate with is myself. Is she going to enter my sea of consciousness now?"

At this moment, Ye Xuan remembered the information and knew that this Empress would live in his sea of consciousness, waiting for the path to immortality to fully open.

But if he let Xian Linglong live in his sea of consciousness, wouldn't some of his secrets be exposed?

"Ah... no, no, in the future, if I want to cuddle with Qingzhu and the others, won't it all be seen clearly by Xian Linglong?"

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan felt that he absolutely could not let Xian Linglong move into his sea of consciousness, so he hurriedly refused: "Sister Fairy, can you please not..."

"Oh? This Empress is becoming more and more interested in you. You can actually see through my thoughts?"

Xian Linglong took in all of Ye Xuan's expressions during this time. She knew all of the latter's changes, and even some of his thoughts were seen clearly.

"This is an ancient contract for a period of one thousand years. According to the agreement, you broke my home, so you will provide your sea of consciousness as a temporary home for me. I will follow the agreement to provide you with guidance on cultivation, as well as some immortal scriptures and profound techniques... Very fair..."

After speaking, Xian Linglong unfolded the white contract with her delicate jade hands, then forced out a drop of blood and let it fall onto the contract.

"It's your turn."

Xian Linglong used her Mystic Power to hold up the white contract, signaling Ye Xuan to drip his blood to sign it.

"Seven-colored blood? Um, Sister Fairy, you aren't going to scam me, are you?"

Ye Xuan felt a bit helpless, knowing that he definitely couldn't resist. After all, breaking Xian Linglong's home meant he was indeed in the wrong, and letting her enter his sea of consciousness wasn't actually a loss.

After all, there was cultivation guidance and compensation with immortal scriptures...

However, Ye Xuan still carefully looked at the contents of this ancient contract. If he accidentally signed a slave contract, he would be finished in the future.

"Hmm? Are you saying this Empress has no credibility? I have roamed the ancient era for hundreds of thousands of years and have never done anything unfaithful. Even with piles of bones beneath my feet, not a single one was a wrongly wronged bone."

Around Xian Linglong were strands of ancient aura, and one could see ancient ancestors worshiping her...

"I am the Human Race War God. I guarded the frontiers of the human race from being eroded by dark creatures, and I have even fought against dark turmoil for all living beings on the Shenxuan Continent..."

"Um, Sister Fairy, it's my fault..."

Seeing this, Ye Xuan felt a bit ashamed. Those ancient ancestors would not deceive people. No longer hesitating, he forced out a bit of blood and pointed it toward the contract.

"Boom—"

The scroll of the white contract turned into a mass of sacred white mist and dissipated.

With the dissipation of the contract, Ye Xuan could feel a strange karmic connection between himself and Xian Linglong, a feeling of 'you are in me, and I am in you.'

"Um, Sister, what will happen if the contract is violated?"

"Violate the contract? This ancient contract was created under the witness of the Heavenly Dao after the ancient Heavenly Emperor transcended. Hmm... violating it... well, nothing much happens, just that in your later years, your body will be covered in red hair, and you will become an immortal and indestructible monster that has lost its reason..."

Looking at Ye Xuan's worried expression, Xian Linglong also developed a mischievous thought and couldn't help but tease him.
