149: Another empress?

"A Natal divine sword?"

Su Yang felt somewhat pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.

The divine sword found in Burial Immortal Valley was a Destiny divine sword; plainly speaking, the divine sword had chosen him.

But a Natal divine sword was different; it belonged to the category of Natal Magical Artifacts, which needed to be personally forged, a process that was extremely complicated and difficult.

If he could directly possess his own Natal divine sword, it would undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble.

There was also one more point.

If he could truly use the so-called Natal divine sword, then it was highly probable that he himself was indeed the Reincarnation of the so-called Eternal Immortal Emperor.

Eternal Immortal Emperor... that title sounded pretty good!

If he had the chance to get a powerful account for free, who would bother grinding away daily here on a weak one?

Su Yang had always been a pragmatic man; if such a thing truly happened, he wouldn't foolishly refuse it, righteously declaring, "Sorry, I want to rely on my own efforts!"

Of course, the proper thing to do was to accept it immediately and then ask for clear instructions on how to use the powerful account!

When there's a chance to dominate immediately, you tell me to take it slow and work hard!?

That's practically brain damage!

Su Yang immediately asked, "Do you know where my Natal divine sword is?"

"I don't know the exact location, but I can definitely find it."

Crimson Phoenix stated with certainty.

Su Yang looked in the direction she was pointing, suppressed his excitement, and thought for a moment before asking, "How long will it take to make the trip?"

If it was like the previous trip to the Yellow Springs Desert to find the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, where they were gone for over a year, Su Yang would definitely have to take them all along.

However, if the round trip only took a month or two, it wouldn't matter much.

"If things go smoothly, we should be back in about ten days."

Crimson Phoenix answered confidently.

"And if it doesn't go smoothly?"

Su Yang asked.

"If it's not smooth, we will definitely be back in half a month at most."

Half a month at most.

That was quite fast!

Su Yang glanced at the Immortal Cave.

They were currently sleeping soundly, and there was no need to disturb their rest.

Leaving a few messages in the air, Su Yang picked up Crimson Phoenix and rose.

"You know the direction, so you lead the way."

"Okay!"

Crimson Phoenix decisively flew toward the direction she sensed.

Su Yang followed closely behind.

The two of them transformed into streaks of light and left the Immortal Cave.

Following the little loli, his old face suddenly flushed red.

He flew up and said to her, "Hey, hey, hey, can you put some clothes on yourself?"

Crimson Phoenix glanced at herself and said with a smile, "I'll be your woman when I grow up, so what are you afraid of? I'm not even shy, so why are you blushing first?"

How could that be the same?

Su Yang rolled his eyes at her.

If you were the same age as Junior Sister Yun Yao, my face wouldn't even turn red, but seeing you as a tiny loli is quite awkward.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Crimson Phoenix smiled playfully, and a faint Spiritual Qi flashed around her body, manifesting a pure white dress upon her.

That was much better.

Su Yang pinched her small cheek and continued flying forward with her.

Crimson Phoenix looked at Su Yang, moved, and said, "You still like pinching my cheeks just the same~"

Su Yang was stunned. "Is that so?"

It was just a casual action.

Crimson Phoenix recalled, "You used to love pinching my face.

Even though I was a Female Emperor back then, you always treated me like a little girl and pinched my face at the slightest provocation.

I always told you off for being disrespectful, but... every time you pinched my face, I was secretly very happy."

Su Yang tried hard to recall, but still had no related memories.

Crimson Phoenix smiled faintly, said nothing more, and just silently moved a little closer to him.

The two of them flew for about five days.

The lush woodland below was gradually replaced by a more ancient and denser primeval forest.

The trees here soared into the clouds, their branches and leaves blotting out the sky.

Even the Spiritual Qi was far purer and denser than the outside world.

It looked as if every tree here had grown nourished by Spiritual Qi.

It was estimated that every blade of grass here was a Heaven And Earth Treasure.

"I didn't expect there to be a place like this here," Su Yang muttered inwardly.

"It's deep within this forest.

The aura I sense is getting clearer and clearer."

Crimson Phoenix pointed ahead, a hint of excitement on her small face.

The two lowered their altitude and descended into the dense forest.

Beneath their feet were thick layers of fallen leaves, and the air carried the unique fragrance of Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Here, even breathing felt strengthening.

Even Su Yang, whose Physique prevented him from absorbing external Spiritual Qi, could feel that this place was immensely helpful for Cultivation.

Just as they continued deeper, a blurred figure flashed out from the front without any warning, like a phantom!

Its speed was extreme, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air!

The moment this figure appeared, it rushed toward Crimson Phoenix in front.

"Be careful!"

Su Yang had already noticed the danger approaching.

The instant Su Yang spoke, the figure's attack had already arrived.

Fierce finger winds and surging palm shadows fluttered like dancing butterflies.

Every Move aimed at Crimson Phoenix's vital points, yet just before contact, the force was cleverly withdrawn or redirected.

It pressured Crimson Phoenix without inflicting fatal injury.

Although Crimson Phoenix had the appearance of a child, her battle instincts were not weak.

Her small body erupted with astonishing energy.

As her tiny hands waved, streams of condensed True Essence formed barriers to block the attacks, while she cleverly engaged the opponent in battle.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Dense sounds of collision echoed in the air.

Crimson Phoenix's Moves were exquisite, carrying a Concept of looking down upon all living beings, and she was always able to neutralize the opponent's attacks at the most crucial moment.

The blurred figure, however, excelled in its bizarre movement technique and incredible speed, circling Crimson Phoenix like a forest sprite, attacking relentlessly and leaving behind streaks of afterimages.

Su Yang originally intended to step forward and help.

But after watching a few exchanges, he restrained the urge to intervene.

Although the sudden attacker's offensive was fierce and every Move seemed deadly, there was genuinely no killing intent.

It seemed more like... a probing attack tinged with some kind of dissatisfaction!?

Su Yang wasn't sure who the sudden arrival was.

But Su Yang was certain that the newcomer must know Crimson Phoenix.

Could it be... the other Female Emperor Crimson Phoenix mentioned!?

Has she already revived!?

If it really was the other Female Emperor, then he had even less reason to rush.

Once they finished fighting, he could conveniently meet the other Female Emperor who was jealous of him and see what kind of woman she was!

Su Yang simply suppressed the impulse to act, crossed his arms, and floated in the air to observe the battle.

He also wanted to see how much strength this little loli—who considered herself the Female Emperor of the Spirit Realm and was now essentially "half of his Nascent Soul"—still retained.

Crimson Phoenix's performance certainly did not disappoint him.

Even though she currently only had the Cultivation level equivalent to the Nascent Soul Stage, her utilization of power and grasp of timing were far superior to ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Although the blurred figure of the attacker was fast, Crimson Phoenix repeatedly anticipated and intercepted her.

However,

The gap in strength was ultimately a fundamental weakness.

The attacker's assaults grew denser, like a raging storm.

Crimson Phoenix's Cultivation was limited, after all, and after defending for a long time, the fight became increasingly strenuous.

"I'm done playing with you."

The attacker found the fight increasingly boring.

After an extremely fast transition between reality and illusion, the attacker suddenly broke through Crimson Phoenix's defense and lightly tapped Crimson Phoenix on the shoulder with her index finger.

Crimson Phoenix let out a muffled groan, the light around her body dimmed, and her small frame fell from the air.

Su Yang was quick to react, stepping forward to catch her.

Just then, the figure that had been unclear finally manifested distinctly before the two of them.

It was a young girl.

She looked only slightly older than Wen Yunyao.

The girl wore a white flowing immortal dress, the hem of which was embroidered with patterns of misty celestial palaces.

The girl's face was extremely beautiful.

Her large eyes were lively and cunning, shining brightly with every glance.

The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, carrying a hint of playfulness and undisguised triumph...
