246: Chapter 246 The Mysterious Woman, Wei Qian!

After the Mysterious Woman took Zhou Yuxuan away, the Bronze Immortal Realm fell into silence once again.

Everyone dared not make a sound, staring blankly at that Immortal Emperor.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor regained his composure. His gaze did not fall upon the people around him who had knelt down, terrified by the 'self' from moments ago; instead, he looked at Gu Tianxin and the others before him.

"Are you his friends?" the Immortal Emperor asked indifferently. Now, without the manipulation of evil thoughts, his aura was even more transcendent and detached from the mundane.

Merely a glance from afar was enough to make one feel the urge to kneel and worship in their heart.

This was not something the Immortal Emperor could control; it was the unique aura he possessed as an Immortal Emperor.

"Yes!" Gu Tianxin replied.

"Very well, this Emperor never goes back on his word. Your friend has already defeated this seat, and he has departed. I shall bestow this Opportunity for Immortal Ascension upon you."

As the Immortal Emperor spoke, a ball of light appeared in his hand.

Inside it contained the Opportunity regarding Immortal Ascension, and how to achieve it.

The surrounding crowd stared at the ball of light in the Immortal Emperor's hand with burning eyes. Many people felt evil thoughts sprouting in their hearts, wanting to rise and seize it.

However, suppressed by a terrifying power, it was extremely difficult for them to even stand up.

Gu Tianxin was stunned.

She—she had actually obtained the so-called Opportunity for Immortal Ascension. This was simply incredible.

Empress Donghuang Baiqing and Jin Qiaoer watched Gu Tianxin's back, their beautiful eyes filled with envy.

They both had a close relationship with Zhou Yuxuan as well. Why, on what grounds, should such an important item be entrusted to a young girl for safekeeping?

Could it be just because she was standing further ahead?

Gu Tianlong looked at his sister, equally filled with excitement. His sister had actually obtained the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension; this was truly a blessing for his Longevity Gu Family. Although this was because of Zhou Yuxuan, Zhou Yuxuan was, at any rate, his brother-in-law and his big brother, so there was naturally no need to distinguish between theirs and his regarding an item.

However, Gu Tianlong cast a furtive glance at the two people behind him. Recalling the majestic figure that had just appeared, he could only hope that his sister would be obedient and not do anything foolish.

After the Immortal Emperor handed the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension to Gu Tianxin, he smiled indifferently and said: "Very well, the few of you may leave the Bronze Immortal Realm!"

Hearing this, Gu Tianlong and the others were overjoyed.

With a thought, their figures vanished, and when they reappeared, they had already exited the Bronze Immortal Realm.

At this moment, the people in the third layer, seeing Gu Tianxin and the others disappear, also stirred their thoughts one after another.

However, the next second, several people showed expressions of confusion.

"What is going on? Why am I still unable to leave this Bronze Immortal Realm? Wasn't it said that as long as one person passes, everyone can leave?"

"Damn it! Why am I still here? Let me out! I still need to go and seize back the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension!"

"..."

The Immortal Emperor withdrew his pressure, and many of the people kneeling on the ground stood up one after another.

However, they were now full of confusion, shouting and yelling there.

As for the Immortal Emperor, the Revered Master of the Bronze Immortal Realm, he sat back down at the chessboard unhurriedly.

He said indifferently: "Everyone, who is next to play chess with this Emperor? If you win, you may leave this place, but if you lose, stay here for the rest of your life to accompany this Emperor!"

The Immortal Emperor's voice rang in everyone's ears, and instantly, their expressions turned ugly.

After a long while, a young man walked to the front of the crowd and said indifferently: "I wonder what kind of chess you wish to play, Senior Immortal Emperor?"

The person speaking was Ye Tianwen. With the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension having been taken away, the Revered Master in his mind was also very eager to leave this place quickly to retrieve that Opportunity.

At this moment, Ye Tianwen stepping forward was instigated by his Revered Master.

"Hmm, you all heard the rules that young man mentioned earlier, right? That game was quite novel, so let us play that Five-in-a-Row with this Emperor!"

The Immortal Emperor smiled at Ye Tianwen, his calm gaze seeming to see the figure hidden within Ye Tianwen's mind.

"What! Damn the Immortal Emperor, he must have noticed this Revered Master!"

Sure enough, an irritable voice rang out in Ye Tianwen's mind.

Instantly, Ye Tianwen began to panic. Now that they weren't playing the chess they were good at, but had switched to a new way of playing, how could he win?

If he lost, wouldn't that mean he would have to stay here?

Just as Ye Tianwen wanted to refuse, a terrifying Divine Sense energy suddenly controlled him.

"Very well, this Junior agrees!"

Ye Tianwen said indifferently, then walked towards the Immortal Emperor with a domineering stride and sat in the seat opposite.

...

At this moment, in the outside world,

Zhou Yuxuan, who had been taken away by the Mysterious Woman, was originally confused on the road, but suddenly his eyes lit up.

A notification sound rang in his mind at this moment.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully changing the plot, briefly trapping the Luck protagonist in the Bronze Immortal Realm. Reward obtained: Cultivation Realm increased by two levels!]

As the notification sound faded, Zhou Yuxuan instantly felt a scorching energy in his body grow hundreds of times stronger.

With a "boom," he broke free from the Mysterious Woman who was restraining him.

"Supreme Third Realm!" Zhou Yuxuan clenched his fists tightly. He had never imagined that he would be so powerful.

"Hmm?" The Mysterious Woman looked at Zhou Yuxuan, a look of disbelief flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"He actually had a Breakthrough? Interesting. No wonder he could conceive such a powerful life with me!"

The Mysterious Woman said indifferently.

"Who on earth are you!" Zhou Yuxuan instantly became vigilant. He looked at the woman before him, who was hundreds of times more beautiful than when he saw her a few years ago, and asked.

He looked at the woman's slightly protruding lower abdomen, feeling the faint yet extremely deep life aura within it that was connected to his own, and felt incredulous.

He had a child? He was going to be a father?

"Hehe! Husband, you don't recognize me so soon? My heart is so sad!"

The Mysterious Woman said with a pitiful look.

"Who on earth are you! You have never told me your identity, and even the life you are carrying was forced upon me!"

Zhou Yuxuan said with a dark expression; this was his dark history.

A dark history of being captured, having no strength to truss a chicken, and being drained for an entire year.

"Hehe! I had forgotten. That day was too hurried, I was busy doing important business, and I forgot to tell Husband my identity!"

The Mysterious Woman chuckled a few times.

Following that, she said with a solemn expression: "Remember, do not forget it in the future. My name is Shadow! Of course, Husband can also call me by my other name, Shadow!"
