541: Chapter 541 Is Fate Really Good? The Road to Emperor Begins

Great Chu Academy, Emperor Mountain.

Day after day, Qin Wushang lived in dire straits.

"Revered Master! This disciple really can't take it anymore!"

"This disciple has suddenly realized something! We cannot continue like this!"

"Practitioners of the Dao should focus on eternal life and regard the Great Dao as their ultimate destination. How can one wallow in romantic entanglements and lust, neglecting their true calling?"

"The Ancestral Master once taught: In one's youth, one must establish lofty ambitions and attain the Dao of eternal life, so as not to waste this life."

"This disciple still has unfulfilled grand aspirations, and the Great Dao remains unattained. I absolutely cannot continue to waste my time on you!"

Qin Wushang lay in Chu Yuehua's embrace, his face stern and his tone impassioned.

However, his body did not move an inch; he was merely paying lip service.

He was truly exhausted!

"What? It's only been a few days, and you can't handle it anymore?"

Chu Yuehua snorted coldly and shoved him away abruptly.

"What's the matter? Were you still full of energy after seven days with her?"

In an instant, her perfect, delicate body was revealed under the dim candlelight—skin like congealed fat, curves exquisite, with time having left no mark upon her.

And looking at Qin Wushang!

His entire body was covered in scratch marks, with crisscrossing red welts and traces of whip lashes—a shocking sight.

All of this was thanks to Chu Yuehua.

A long, long time ago, Qin Wushang had witnessed the power of this whip in the Great Chu Imperial Palace.

That thing looked unremarkable, but when it struck, it caused both pain and numbness, specializing in curing all sorts of defiance.

Even now, though he had stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm and his Physical Body was as strong as a Dragon, being struck by that thing was still uncomfortable.

Of course, that was assuming he didn't use his Sacred Power to defend; it wasn't that he truly couldn't withstand it.

This was just him playing cosplay with Chu Yuehua.

Chu Yuehua was the same.

The whips, the scratch marks, the exhaustion, the inability to withstand it...

Everything, absolutely everything, was just flirting.

It just looked a bit perverted, but in essence, it was no different from young lovers bickering and playing around.

Since he was pretending to be weak, Chu Yuehua naturally played along.

If she hadn't been playing along, she would have kicked him out of bed long ago; she wouldn't have acted with him for this long.

"Revered Master! The Emperors Path hasn't shown any movement for so long—could there be a problem?"

Qin Wushang's body shone with Holy Light, and all the marks on his body vanished.

A white robe settled over him, and he looked as refreshing as a spring breeze, a cheeky smile hanging on his handsome face.

Chu Yuehua lay on her side on the bamboo bed, her jade hand supporting her left cheek, watching him quietly.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled only with him.

As she watched, she smiled; she looked incredibly beautiful, enough to captivate all living beings.

"The opening of the Emperors Path is only a matter of time."

"According to the so-called memories of Rebirth, once it manifests, it will take about a month for the Domain Gates to appear, leading into the first pass of the Emperors Path..."

Chu Yuehua said slowly.

Many memories from her past life had been verified, so the memories regarding the Emperors Path should also be true.

There was no need to doubt this.

"Rebellious Disciple, the Immortal Lord is not that simple... Her primordial yin is not so easily taken."

"Do not let yourself be bewitched by beauty and lose your true self."

Chu Yuehua cautioned him.

"Revered Master! Did you sense something?"

Qin Wushang walked over, sat down beside her, and placed his large hand on her jade leg, asking slowly.

She had been to the Immortal Alliance for so long; she must know something.

"I do not."

"It is merely out of caution."

Chu Yuehua's expression shifted slightly, and she quickly denied it.

"By the way!"

"Revered Master! Is a Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor really stronger than an Alternative Great Emperor?"

Qin Wushang did not press the matter; instead, he thought for a moment and asked this question.

Logically speaking, since both are Emperors, their strength should depend on their own foundations.

Rather than the method of attaining the Dao.

That was what he believed.

"According to historical records and the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperors in my memories, the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor is the pinnacle of the human path; unless an Eternal Immortal appears, they are invincible."

"Of course, that is only within this world, that is, within the All Heavens and Myriad Realms."

"Just like your third uncle; he harmonized with the Great Chu Empire. While within the Great Chu Empire, if I did not hold the mountain and river emperor sword, I would have to be wary of him, or perhaps even be no match for him."

Chu Yuehua's words were very clear.

Harmonizing with the Dao as a Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor is similar to an Alternative Great Emperor harmonizing with a world!

However, this world is the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, which is much larger.

Qin Wushang heard this and became thoughtful.

If that were true, just as he thought, if they had the same foundation, an Alternative Great Emperor could challenge a Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor...

He did not necessarily have to choose the path of the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor.

"What? Are you afraid that you cannot step onto this path, so you are looking for a completely new path for yourself?"

Chu Yuehua asked.

Qin Wushang stroked her smooth jade leg and shook his head slowly.

"That's not it."

"It's just that I suddenly feel that this thing might not be the best."

He thought of the System's script deduction.

The Heart of Heaven Imprint!

Could the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor be yet another lackey of the Heavenly Dao?

If that were the case, then this was not what he was pursuing.

"Not the best..."

Chu Yuehua carefully considered these words.

In the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, who does not seek a Heavenly Mandate?

And who would ever say that the Heavenly Mandate is not necessarily the best?

Only he, Qin Wushang, would say such things.

"Rebellious Disciple, how could you have such thoughts?"

Chu Yuehua asked.

She stared at him, wanting to get an answer from him.

"Just a sudden thought."

Qin Wushang explained.

He couldn't explain what the System was right now either.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Chu Yuehua.

Chu Yuehua did not believe this answer, but she did not press him further.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire Emperor Mountain... no, the entire world was shaking.

The heavens and the earth were quaking!

Qin Wushang raised his eyes, feeling surprised.

"The Emperors Path!"

As soon as he spoke, Chu Yuehua's figure flashed, instantly leaving the bamboo bed.

A brand-new dress fell onto her delicate body, covering all signs of spring.

Both figures flashed and appeared at the summit of the Emperor Mountain.

The heavens and earth were in turmoil, and the entire firmament was shining with brilliant starlight.

The vast, boundless starry sky beyond the realm trembled, causing the living beings of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms to be startled.

Is the Emperors Path about to open?

"Boom!!!"

A loud noise, not thunder, but the sound of the sky tearing apart.

In the starry sky beyond the realm, that void that had been silent for countless years suddenly split open in the middle.

The crack grew larger and larger, as if an invisible giant hand were tearing open the firmament from the inside, revealing the bottomless Chaos behind it.

Following that, a second crack, a third crack... countless cracks spread through the starry sky, weaving into a giant net.

"Hum!"

An ancient humming sound came from the depths of the cracks, low and distant, like a Vicious Beast that had been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years suddenly opening its eyes.

The cracks stopped expanding.

From those cracks, one Domain Gate after another slowly emerged.

The Domain Gates were incomparably huge, each one ten thousand feet high, the door frames cast from unknown ancient stone, covered in mottled runes, with the traces of time clearly visible.

Some door frames were incomplete, while others were as good as new, emitting a faint light.

They arranged themselves in an arc, spanning across the starry sky, as if the gates to the All Heavens and Myriad Realms were opening simultaneously.

One, two, four, eight...

More and more.

Countless Domain Gates lit up in the starry sky, each one leading to an unknown Domain.

Inside the gates, it was deep and dark, with occasional flashes of light, as if something were peeking from behind the door.

The entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms went quiet.

All living beings looked up at that starry sky, gazing at those suddenly appearing Domain Gates, and the same thought surged in their hearts!

The Emperors Path has truly opened.

The Domain Gates are the entrance to the Emperors Path!
