520: Chapter 520 Lacking the Required Things to Become Stronger

As soon as Fairy Mo spoke, the entire audience was shocked.

It was too fast. Less than a quarter of an hour after entering, the battle had ended.

They had seen that sword strike and initially thought it would at least heavily injure Qin Wushang, but even after unleashing that terrifying strike, it still hadn't managed to harm him in the slightest.

Jian Wushuang had lost after all! Even after unleashing his signature technique, the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens, he was still no match!

"The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo is truly worthy of being the Human Race's number one forbidden Physique; it is actually this monstrous!"

"Indeed! Even an Immortal-grade sword technique couldn't break through his defense!"

"It's too outrageous! He just blocked that sword strike like that; I thought there would at least be some sort of accident."

"The Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens... it felt very strong, yet it didn't even scratch his skin!"

"The Devil Head Qin Wushang! Truly worthy of being the ruthless man who could slaughter many Prodigies at the Burial Immortal Platform and kill the Thunder King!"

Everyone stared at the finished scene on the light screen, their gazes then collectively shifting to the exit of the No. 1 Small World.

Qin Wushang stepped out through the air, his robes fluttering, looking down upon the world with disdain.

That invincible Aura made the many Prodigies present pale in comparison; no one dared to look him in the eye.

...

Immortal Alliance. The peak of the Immortal Mountain.

Two stunningly beautiful women were sitting by a table made of white immortal jade, sipping tea.

In the Void Realm before them, the scene of Qin Wushang's battle was clearly displayed, having just frozen at the moment he stepped out of the Small World.

The Immortal Lord wore a white gown, her dark hair cascading down, holding a teacup in her jade hand with a lazy and composed posture.

Chu Yuehua sat opposite her, dressed in a moon-colored imperial robe, cold and majestic, with the Aura of an Empress naturally emanating from her entire being.

"The Disciple you took in is truly powerful."

The Immortal Lord spoke slowly, withdrawing her gaze from the scene and letting it fall upon Chu Yuehua's face.

"Even with my Immortal Alliance's number one true Disciple making a move and using Ancient Immortal techniques, they were still no match."

Chu Yuehua looked at the figure on the screen, her beautiful eyes filled only with that person.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile she hadn't even noticed herself.

"He is naturally excellent; otherwise, how could he become my Disciple."

When speaking of him, even an Empress of a nation would smile.

The Immortal Lord caught a glimpse of her smile, and the corners of her own lips curved up as well, though she did not point it out.

"Can you say it now?"

Chu Yuehua put down the cup in her hand and looked directly at the Immortal Lord. "What exactly is the reward for first place in this grand competition?"

"No." The Immortal Lord shook her head, her tone crisp.

"The first-place winner hasn't been determined yet, so the reward cannot be announced."

"However, those old things have probably guessed it by accident."

She paused, picked up her teacup, and took a sip. "When the grand competition ends, there might be some turmoil."

"With your Taiyin Immortal Body, cultivating Ancient Immortal techniques and following the Ancient Immortal path, I fear you will be affected."

Chu Yuehua frowned slightly. "You are the Dominator of this world; how can they break free from your restraints and rebel against you?"

"Actually, many of them have already escaped my control."

The Immortal Lord put down the teacup and tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingers. "They just haven't shown it yet."

She looked at Chu Yuehua, her gaze calm. "The commotion inside the Immortal Ruins is not small."

"That person is also coveting the blade in your Disciple's hand, so they will naturally join forces."

"This doesn't require evidence; one can know just by deducing a little."

Chu Yuehua was silent for a moment. "Since you know, why not stop them?"

She was indeed puzzled. This woman was very strong and was the Dominator of this world. Yet, despite clearly guessing that she was about to be betrayed, she still hadn't made any moves.

"Only by breaking free from my restraints can they become stronger." The Immortal Lord explained, her tone indifferent.

"Otherwise, they will be suppressed by me forever." "This is not my wish, but rather the way of the great dao of heaven and earth."

Because she had refined this world, the living beings within it were bound by her in their growth and cultivation. If they could not break these shackles, they were destined to remain beneath her for their entire lives.

She was not annoyed by any living being rebelling against her. Breaking shackles and charging towards higher Realms was the inherent pursuit of those who Cultivate the Dao. It was a good thing if someone wanted to surpass her. She would not stop them.

"You are indeed righteous," Chu Yuehua said. She picked up her teacup, blew on it gently, and set it down again.

"Actually, you don't need to keep your eyes on me. There are others ahead of me, some who have even entered the Realm of the Red Dust Immortal."

The Immortal Lord nodded. "I know." "There are some in the Five Domains and Two Heavens, and there are some outside the Immortal Realm as well."

She raised her hand to point at the sky, then lowered it. "When the Immortal Realm shattered back then, no one knew exactly how many pieces it broke into."

"The Immortal Realm and the Great Wilderness World are just the larger parts; who obtained the remaining fragments is impossible to say or explain clearly."

Chu Yuehua pondered for a moment, then asked another question. "There is one thing I do not understand."

"Why are the Quasi-Emperors and Alternative Great Emperors that evolve from the Immortal Realm not as strong as those from the Five Domains and Two Heavens?"

This had been her confusion all along. Logically, the great dao of heaven and earth in the Immortal Realm was more comprehensive and powerful, so the living beings born there should be stronger.

"Because the rules are different." The Immortal Lord answered very directly.

"The Immortal Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Realm has been purified, so it is missing some things."

"And these things are precisely what is necessary to transform into something stronger."

"The Five Domains and Two Heavens are special places; it seems like the Spiritual Qi is extremely thin and there are many Impurities, but that is exactly what is needed for the Dao."

Chu Yuehua heard this with some ambiguity and looked at her in confusion.

The Immortal Lord raised her hand to point at the sky again, her voice lowering slightly. "Some things cannot be said too much."

Heaven. Chu Yuehua's expression instantly turned solemn. Heaven, naturally, referred to the Heavenly Dao. Heaven was watching; to say too much would be to leak the secrets of heaven, and even the Immortal Lord was afraid of that.

She asked no more, withdrew her gaze, picked up her teacup to take a sip, and quickly restrained her own Aura.

"You are very strong; if not for making way for him, you could even have charged towards the Realm of the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor," she said, looking at Chu Yuehua.

"Destiny is as it is; even if I had to make way, I have nothing to regret."

"At worst, I, this Empress, will walk out my own path."

The Red Dust Immortal path was also pioneered by others. Just because the path beyond that hadn't appeared yet didn't mean there was no path; it just meant no one had walked such a path yet. Perhaps she, Chu Yuehua, could be the one to step out onto that path!

"Good ambition." "If I fail and have to re-Cultivate, I hope you truly walk out a path to the heavens." The Immortal Lord smiled indifferently.

Was she not also walking her own path, putting the theory of the Immortal Emperor she proposed into practice?

"I might not be able to walk it through, but perhaps she can; after all, she refined a large area of the Taihuang Heaven," Chu Yuehua said.

In her view, Di Qingli was equally not weak.

After she finished speaking, she put down the cup in her hand, rose slowly, turned into a streak of immortal light, and disappeared.

"A woman entangled by a variable, who has also become a variable herself..." "None of them are simple!" The Immortal Lord muttered softly, looking at the place where she had disappeared.

...

Immortal Realm, Baixian Tower. Qin Wushang returned to his private room.

His mind was calm, and he did not set out to look for Ye Hongfu and the others.

"You're not going to look for them today, but instead resting here to conserve your energy?" "Could it be that even you are wary of that person and need to rest?"

A cold, clear voice rang out suddenly, breaking the silence of the room.

Qin Wushang, who had been sitting cross-legged to adjust his breath, suddenly opened his eyes. Upon hearing this familiar voice, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Why has Revered Master come here?" "Is there something important to instruct?"

He never expected that Chu Yuehua would actually return, and even come directly to find him here.

"Can I not come to find you if there is nothing the matter?" The woman's tone was indifferent, carrying a hint of coldness, as she sat leisurely to the side.

Qin Wushang turned his head to gaze at her, his eyes wandering slowly before finally fixing on those long, straight, jade-like legs.

Time passes in a rush, yet she remains as she was, her grace and bearing still the same as in his youth.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and stroked those lustrous, long, jade-like legs.

"Rebellious Disciple, what are you trying to do again?"

Chu Yuehua's eyebrows knitted slightly, and before her words had faded, Qin Wushang had already leaned in and gently embraced her.

Qin Wushang let out a low laugh, his warm breath brushing against her ear. "What else could it be?" "Naturally, it is my Revered Master."

Conserving energy? That was naturally impossible. Qin Wushang's main focus was to spend every bit of his energy.
