62: The Emperor's Appearance, the Challenge of the Royal Princess
Liu Shenyin stood rooted to the spot, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Her peerlessly beautiful face was filled with struggle.
She, the dignified Sect Master of the Heavenly Sound Sect,
a Quasi-Emperor expert standing at the pinnacle of the Emperor Immortal Great World,
had lived for tens of thousands of years.
How could she have ever endured such... impertinence?
Yet, the conditions Jiang Yuan offered,
were like the whispers of a devil,
every word precisely striking her most vulnerable and most longed-for desires.
Spirit Ascension Pill, the continuation of her Sect, Lifespan, Ultimate Imperial Weapon... all of this made it impossible for her to refuse.
She knew that as long as she nodded her head today,
the fate of the Heavenly Sound Sect would completely change, and she herself would usher in a new life.
But the price was... to become the woman of this man, who was even younger than her disciple's disciple's disciple.
This made her Dao Heart, which had been as still as an ancient well for tens of thousands of years,
somewhat difficult to maintain.
Below the Dao Discussion Platform,
everyone held their breath,
quietly watching this scene.
They wanted to know,
what choice this high and mighty Quasi-Emperor beauty would ultimately make.
Would she rather be shattered jade than intact tile, and leave with a flick of her sleeve?
Or... would she lower her noble head for the sake of her Sect and the Great Dao?
Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry,
he watched her calmly, a playful smile on his face.
He knew,
Liu Shenyin had no choice.
The temptation he offered was too great.
So great that it was enough to drive any Quasi-Emperor mad.
Just as Liu Shenyin was battling within herself, about to make a decision,
a clear, aloof voice, as if not belonging to this mortal realm, suddenly rang out in the arena.
"Your Dao is very interesting."
The voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to contain a strange magical power,
instantly overpowering all the noise,
and clearly reaching everyone's ears.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a woman in a snow-white long dress, with a cold demeanor like ten-thousand-year-old profound ice,
slowly standing up from her seat at a corner of the Dao Discussion Platform.
She simply stood there quietly,
her long black hair casually draped behind her,
her exquisitely beautiful face devoid of any expression,
as if nothing in the world could move her.
But it was precisely such a person,
who, the moment she stood up, attracted the gaze of the entire audience.
As if she were the sole center of this world.
"It's her! The Empress of the Northern Plains Wang Family, Wang Tengxue!"
"Number two on the prodigy physique ranking, the Immaculate Body Physique! Is she finally going to make a move?"
"What does she want to do? Does she also want to perform a talent?"
"Impossible! How arrogant is Wang Tengxue? She is hailed as having the Bearing of a Great Emperor, one of the most likely people to attain the Dao in this era. How could she, like those common beauties, try to please a man?"
"Then are you saying the Jade Pool Saintess, Saint Demon Sect Saintess, and Sect Master Liu are all common beauties?"
Everyone was discussing, unable to guess what this Wang Family Empress intended.
Jiang Yuan's gaze also fell on Wang Tengxue,
a strong interest flashing in his eyes.
Finally, she's here!
A top-tier contestant with a score of 95!
Immaculate Body Physique!
Sacred Body!
Jiang Yuan even suspected that
the Sacred Body's low rating
was probably due to Lei Zi's influence,
after all, it was only a B.
This was also the first innate Sacred Body he had encountered.
Wang Tengxue ignored the surrounding discussions,
her cold eyes pierced through the crowd, directly locking onto Jiang Yuan.
She slowly spoke, her voice still the same unchanging coldness of ten thousand years.
"Your Dao is very interesting."
"But..."
"I want to know if your Dao can surpass mine?"
As her words fell, a pure to the extreme, flawless and Immaculate Body white divine light burst forth from her!
That divine light seemed capable of cleansing all filth in the world and purifying all evil!
An supreme Dao charm of "invulnerability to all laws, all evil retreating"
spread from her, sweeping across the entire Yingxian Island!
In front of this Dao charm, whether it was the Saint Demon Sect's charm techniques,
or the Great Yan Divine Dynasty's imperial Qi, both appeared so insignificant, so negligible!
Even the faint aura of the Dao of Creation from Jiang Yuan's own being and the Primordial Chaos Creation Art,
showed a tendency to be suppressed in front of this Immaculate Body Dao charm!
"Hiss—"
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp!
Such... such terrifying Dao charm!
Is this the true strength of the second-ranked Prodigy?
Just this aura alone was enough to make ninety-nine percent of the Heavens Proud Daughters present not even dare to meet her gaze!
Jiang Yuan's eyes also lit up completely!
This was his first time
encountering a peer who could contend with him
on the level of Dao!
"How do you want to compete?"
Jiang Yuan looked at her, the playfulness on his face gradually receding,
replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and... excitement!
Wang Tengxue looked at him and slowly said, "It's simple."
"You and I will not use magic power, nor cultivation."
"We will only use Dao to decide the victor."
"If you win, I, Wang Tengxue, will be at your disposal."
"If I win..."
She paused, a hint of arrogance flashing in her cold eyes,
"I don't want your Spirit Ascension Pill. I only ask that you retract your previous arrogant words and admit to the world that your Dao is not invincible!"
She came here not for a marriage alliance,
nor for the Spirit Ascension Pill.
She merely wanted to prove one thing to the world:
that she could still attain the Dao and become an Emperor without anyone's help,
and that Wang Tengxue's Dao was the strongest Dao of this era!
She was the sole protagonist of this Golden Great Era!
