154: I'm too weak, I need to go home.
"This time, I will definitely win."
The Empress of the Underworld pulled Qin Feng along, quickly entering the Barrier to begin the test.
Qin Feng's cheek twitched slightly.
This was too hard!
He would have to be more cautious about using the imperial decree next time.
The consumption was simply too great.
"Mwah...!"
Immediately after, the other Empresses followed them inside.
Having learned a lesson from before,
no one wanted to be the first to test.
This was because they all felt that testing last gave one an absolute advantage.
After all, people get tired!
The offensive would only grow weaker and weaker.
Thus, All the Empresses looked at each other, none of them willing to move.
"Snow Emperor, you go first,"
the Guanghan Empress said after a moment's hesitation.
Snow Emperor: "This...!"
"That's not very fair, is it?"
The Snow Emperor also wanted to be at the rear and didn't want to be at a disadvantage.
"It's fine, we have strength, there's nothing to fear."
"True gold fears no fire."
The Guanghan Empress patted the Snow Emperor's shoulder, comforting her.
"Fine!"
The Snow Emperor gritted her teeth and was the first to begin the test.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, she brushed back her snow-white hair and walked toward Qin Feng.
A few days had passed, and Qin Feng had recovered.
When he saw the Snow Emperor approaching, he still blushed slightly.
Then, the testing began... seventeen days.
The test ended.
The result was even longer than the last time.
This left everyone astonished.
He had grown after all; growing through adversity only makes one more resilient.
Qin Feng was also quite shocked by the Snow Emperor's strength.
Next came the individual tests.
Guanghan Empress... twenty days!
Empress of the Underworld... nineteen days!
Empress Jiu You, Supreme Empress, Red Dust Empress, and Zangdi Empress were all ten days each.
A total of ninety-seven days.
In terms of strength, the Guanghan Empress had won again.
However, the Empress of the Underworld still refused to admit it.
All sorts of excuses came out one after another.
Facing this never-ending competition, Qin Feng was simply numb.
For over three whole months, he hadn't been able to Cultivate.
Fortunately, everything ended on the ninety-seventh day.
Everyone else was awake; only the last one, the Red Dust Empress Lu Xueqi, was still asleep.
She was clearly exhausted.
Whoosh...!
With a thought from Qin Feng, the Silkworm Treasure Garment instantly appeared.
This time, Qin Feng removed the black from the white garment, changing it into a pure white treasure garment.
The Silkworm Treasure Garment was truly good and convenient.
Whether putting it on, making it disappear, or changing its color, it only required a single thought.
"It doesn't count... it doesn't count!"
"I was unwell this time and didn't display my full strength."
"Let's go again."
The Empress of the Underworld's advantage of having a thick skin was showing.
Even after losing twice in a row, she wouldn't admit defeat.
The Guanghan Empress's lips twitched slightly, feeling somewhat speechless as she said,
"Empress of the Underworld, have you had enough?"
"Your thick skin is just...!"
As she spoke, Nangong Yue couldn't help but shake her head.
She was truly impressed by the Empress of the Underworld's shamelessness. ♦♦ ♦♦
If this continued, there would never be a result, only endless competition.
"Anyway, it doesn't count."
"I'll compete with you all again next time; I need to head back first."
Mo Yun's eyes darted around as she waved her hand and spoke.
She had been out for over half a year now.
Without her, the Underworld had been plunged into darkness for over six months.
Therefore, the Empress of the Underworld had to withdraw for now.
"Little Feng, come to my place, and we'll compete again."
Although the Empress of the Underworld had to return, she still wasn't at ease leaving Qin Feng, so she grabbed him and spoke.
"This...!"
"Again?"
Qin Feng's face was slightly pale as he spoke.
During this period, his luck value had skyrocketed, but his body was becoming increasingly weak.
The ancient emperors blood had all been consumed by him.
Now, only the Ancient Great Emperors Essence Blood remained.
"Empress of the Underworld, if you want to go back, go by yourself."
"Don't drag my Little Feng along."
"I don't want to compete with you anymore either."
The Guanghan Empress also raised her hand and grabbed Qin Feng.
Each held one side, neither willing to let go.
Qin Feng didn't know what to do.
He hadn't even rested properly and didn't want to say a word.
He only felt his throat was dry and his head was a little bit dizzy.
After being pulled a few times, he almost couldn't hold on.
"Enough! Let Little Feng rest for a bit!"
"Stop arguing, can't you see his face is turning pale?"
Qinger stepped forward and supported Qin Feng.
Then, Qinger took out a Medicinal Pill and slowly placed it in Qin Feng's mouth.
The Medicinal Pill was refined from an Unparalleled Elixir.
It could be considered Qinger's life-saving pill.
However, she still gave it to Qin Feng without hesitation.
Gulp...!
As the pill went down, a terrifying medicinal power began to nourish Qin Feng's body.
After a few breaths, his pale complexion finally returned to normal.
Phew...!
"Mo Yun, Yue... Yue'er!"
"I'm not going anywhere, I want to go home first. Home."
Qin Feng was scared; he let out a heavy breath and spoke.
When he spoke, his voice was clearly lacking strength.
This was a sign of over-exhaustion.
Ninety-seven days, who could stand that?
Moreover, since the previous eighty-plus days, Qin Feng had only rested for less than five days.
In the middle of that, he had even gone to hunt a Child of Fortune.
Er...!
"Then I'll send you home."
The Empress of the Underworld's voice became much quieter and softer.
"Mhm."
Qin Feng nodded, not wanting to say another word.
Too tired, he was truly tired.
The Guanghan Empress looked at Qin Feng's weakened state with a hint of heartache and slowly let go of his hand.
"Empress of the Underworld, I won't argue with you this time."
"Little Feng, go back and rest well. I'll head back first and prepare some supplements for you."
"I'll send them to you in a while."
Guanghan spoke with a face full of concern.
"Okay!"
Qin Feng nodded.
Empress Jiu You: "Me too, I'll also go back and prepare supplements."
"We can't let Little Feng stay this weak."
Red Dust Empress: "That makes sense. I still have tens of thousands of Great Medicines at home; I can't just keep them."
All the Empresses chimed in one after another.
They all wanted to prepare nourishing items for Qin Feng.
And the Empress Qing'er of the Burial Ground directly took out a storage ring and handed it to Qin Feng:
"Little Feng, there's still some holy water inside. When you get back, soak in it first, just treat it like taking a bath!"
"Thanks, Qinger!"
Qin Feng gladly accepted and thanked her softly.
The medicinal power contained in holy water was extraordinary.
It was a rare and highly nourishing sacred object.
"Everyone, we're leaving now."
Whoosh...!
The Empress of the Underworld held Qin Feng's hand, and with a flash, they stepped out of the Barrier.
Then, with another teleportation, they left the Lingxiao Pavilion.
Immediately, the Empress of the Underworld's Divine Sense spread out, finding the two Maids and Zhu Yan, and they all quickly left the Burial Grounds together.
Under the extreme speed of an Emperor, they streaked across like a beam of light.
Whoosh whoosh...!
Following closely, four more beams of light flew out from the Lingxiao Pavilion.
They all left the Burial Grounds, heading toward the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The Guanghan Empress Nangong Yue and the Snow Emperor were the last to leave.
Having stayed for over half a year, they had to say goodbye to the master of the Lingxiao Pavilion upon leaving.
Empress Xianfeng had been living in the backyard of the Lingxiao Pavilion.
She hadn't gone to check what was happening on the ninth floor of the Lingxiao Pavilion.
But she always felt something was strange.
This group had stayed for over half a year without ever coming out.
Only that Son of the Emperor Qin Tian had come out once.
It wasn't until today that they began to leave one after another.
Whoosh whoosh...!
Suddenly, two beams of light landed in her backyard.
"Empress Xianfeng, I'm truly sorry for disturbing you for over half a year!"
The Guanghan Empress cupped her hands and said.
"Guanghan Empress, you're too polite."
"I am flattered by your visit."
"However, I simply want to know, what have you all been doing during this time?"
