164: Chapter 164 The Third Monthly Sign-in
"Lord Heavenly Emperor, actually, I have a very important matter to report to you."
Empress Lanlan felt Cao Yang's burning gaze and couldn't help but feel a bit flustered, hurriedly changing the subject.
"Oh? What is it? Tell me about it," Cao Yang responded thoughtfully, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"It's like this: when you first entered the Azure Great Thousand World, we sent a distress signal to the Baichuan Holy Academy. Their people might already be on their way, so you should be careful." After Empress Lanlan finished speaking, her beautiful eyes stared straight at Cao Yang, as if trying to read something from his expression.
"Hmph, a trivial matter. I had already prepared a countermeasure. There are still twelve Quasi-Saint Peaks outside the Azure Great Thousand World. If they really dare to come, they will only find a dead end," Cao Yang replied calmly, his eyes flashing with confidence and composure.
"That's good then! But it's still better to be cautious." Empress Lanlan nodded slightly in agreement, but her brow remained slightly furrowed, as if she were still somewhat worried.
"Don't worry. With our strength, as long as a First-Tribulation Saint doesn't personally descend, there won't be any major problems," Cao Yang consoled her. Then, turning to the women behind him, he commanded, "Hong Yi, Hong Er, the two of you go and help them. If not many people from the Baichuan Holy Academy come, try to eliminate them all."
Hearing Cao Yang's words, Empress Lanlan's heart couldn't help but tremble. Those were Quasi-Saints!
However, if what the Heavenly Emperor said was true, the Heavenly Court really had many Quasi-Saints. Fourteen Peak Quasi-Saints might truly be able to wipe out the reinforcements.
"Yes, Young Master," the two replied before vanishing from the flying ship.
"Also, there might be someone above the Quasi-Saint Realm in the Baichuan Holy Academy. Although they haven't appeared for several hundred years and might have left the Divine Realm, it's more likely they are still here," Empress Lanlan continued.
"Yes, I know that. Don't worry, our Heavenly Court came to conquer the Divine Realm, so naturally, we are prepared," Cao Yang replied.
Hearing Cao Yang's words, Empress Lanlan said no more and stood quietly where she was.
"System, use the Monthly Sign-in," Cao Yang thought to himself.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. Monthly Sign-in in the Divine Realm's Azure Empire was successful. Obtained 40 Quasi-Saint Peak Golden Armored Puppets (No true spirit, no intelligence).]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. Obtained 5 quadrillion years of Genius cultivation base.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. Obtained 50 Formation Upgrade Cards.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. Obtained a Transcendence-grade (Grandmist-grade) Cultivation Technique—Heaven-Slaving Art.]
Cao Yang was delighted. So many Quasi-Saint Puppets—they came at the perfect time!
This undoubtedly gave the Heavenly Court's strength a massive boost.
With a thought, a golden, thumb-sized Puppet appeared in his hand.
Cao Yang didn't dare delay and quickly imprinted his Divine Sense into the Golden Armored Puppet's brain.
Almost instantly, he felt as if he had another pair of eyes, allowing him to easily control this Quasi-Saint Peak Golden Armored Puppet with his thoughts.
This Golden Armored Puppet was different from previous Puppets. Unfortunately, it did not have a true Soul, so its Divine Sense was still limited, only able to see what its own body could observe.
Nevertheless, having the attack and defense of a Quasi-Saint Peak was already powerful enough, even capable of blocking fatal attacks for him at critical moments.
With a thought from Cao Yang, the Golden Armored Puppet rapidly grew in size, transforming into a two-meter-tall giant in the blink of an eye, radiating an extremely terrifying Aura.
If Cao Yang hadn't intentionally restrained it, everyone on the ship probably wouldn't have been able to stand under the weight of this pressure.
"Brother Yang, what is this big gold lump? It looks so powerful!" Second Senior Sister Su Xuan excitedly flew up and sat on the Golden Armored Puppet's shoulder, curiously tapping its head as she asked with a grin.
"Second Senior Sister, this is a Quasi-Saint Peak Golden Armored Puppet," Cao Yang explained softly, unable to help but reveal a doting smile at her innocent and cute appearance.
"What?" Hearing this, Su Xuan's expression changed instantly. Her face paled with fright, and she hurriedly jumped down from the Golden Armored Puppet's shoulder, staring at it in terror as if she had seen some prehistoric beast.
Seeing his Second Senior Sister so frightened, Cao Yang couldn't help but chuckle, finding her absolutely amusing.
He quickly consoled her, "Second Senior Sister, don't be afraid. Although the Golden Armored Puppet is powerful, it has no true spirit or intelligence; it won't attack people on its own."
"Brother Yang, you scared me to death! You didn't finish your sentence, leaving me all terrified." Second Senior Sister Su Xuan still had lingering fears, her small face filled with trepidation as she gently patted her chest, trying to calm her racing heart.
"Hahaha, it's my fault. Second Senior Sister, don't be angry." Cao Yang smiled apologetically, then with a flash of light in his hand, another identical Golden Armored Puppet appeared. "Here, I'll give this Quasi-Saint Peak Golden Armored Puppet to you to help calm your nerves."
"Really? That's great! Thank you, Brother Yang!" Upon hearing this, Su Xuan immediately turned from sorrow to joy. She ran over happily and took the Golden Armored Puppet from Cao Yang's hand with a delighted expression, stroking it as if she couldn't bear to let go, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
The other sisters also looked at Cao Yang with burning eyes. Cao Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, you all get one—one for each person."
As he spoke, Cao Yang took out another twenty-one Quasi-Saint Peak golden Puppets.
The women all ran over to take the Golden Armored Puppets from in front of Cao Yang.
Empress Lanlan looked at the Golden Armored Puppets in front of Cao Yang, her heart also burning with desire. Those were Quasi-Saint Peak Puppets!
She hadn't expected the Heavenly Emperor to be so good to his women; he had clearly projected a domineering and majestic image before, but suddenly he had turned into a wife-doting maniac.
The women all began imprinting their Divine Sense into the Puppets' brains and started playing with them.
Cao Yang came to Lan Lan Yanran's side and whispered, "Would you consider becoming my Dao Companion? I treat my women very well. If you agree, I'll give you a Quasi-Saint Peak Golden Armored Puppet too."
"I... I'll think about it."
Empress Lanlan hesitated and replied sluggishly.
Her heart was in a fierce struggle. You had to know, that was a Peak Quasi-Saint Puppet!
But she, Lan Lan Yanran, had also achieved the Peak God Emperor Realm at a young age. As long as she was given time, she would eventually break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Moreover, it seemed the Heavenly Emperor had truly taken an interest in her. She couldn't let him have her so easily and quickly, or else he wouldn't cherish her.
Lan Lan Yanran sighed inwardly. If it weren't for her low Realm, why would she need to be like this?
