Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 603: The Open and Secret Struggle

The White Emperor was very confident.

So many years had passed. As a mother, did she still not understand her own daughter?

Yue Wuxia was obedient and gentle, with a temperament like an orchid. She possessed Spirit Qi. Moreover, she was an Emperor Son, her body coursing with Emperor Blood, and she had an astonishing talent for cultivation.

Not only that, she was beautiful and ethereal, a true sprite of the human world, untouched by worldly troubles.

No matter from what angle one looked at her, Yue Wuxia was perfect, far surpassing ordinary beings.

She had always felt proud of this fact. If it weren't for the fact that she herself was an Emperor Realm powerhouse, making Yue Wuxia's path to Tao Verification hopeless, Yue Wuxia might have already stepped into an invincible state.

She lifted the corners of her mouth, teasing, "I didn't expect you to have entered Reincarnation."

Guang Xiaoyu gave a slight smile and calmly replied, "Mmm, I was bored and had nothing better to do, so I entered Reincarnation—who knows, I might comprehend that kind of Tao."

"OH?"

The White Emperor was surprised. "Is it really because you were idle? Or is it... you were betrayed by your disciples? And then killed, forced into Reincarnation as a last resort?"

She wanted to laugh, but she held back.

One mustn't laugh.

Mocking the Demon Emperor was something that had to be done with a straight face.

"..."

Guang Xiaoyu's smile stiffened.

"I mean no mockery; we've been friends for many years. I just wanted to show concern for you," sighed the White Emperor. "Back then... when I heard something had happened to you, I almost burst out laughing... AH, I misspoke. I was very sad, so I secretly went to the Western Wilderness, and that's how I discovered the truth."

"..."

"I'm truly sorry, my friend," the White Emperor said, her face full of guilt. "How are you doing now?"

"Not bad, I've comprehended the Supreme Skills," Guang Xiaoyu answered, though inwardly she was cursing, Damn woman...

In the first round, she had lost.

Without a doubt.

Now, it was the second round.

"AH!" the White Emperor exclaimed, gazing intently at her. "Did you truly comprehend it?"

She didn't believe it.

That kind of Tao didn't belong to this world.

No one across the Nine Heavens could comprehend it, let alone cultivate it.

If one could comprehend it just by undergoing Reincarnation, then those Emperor Realm powerhouses from ancient times wouldn't have had to travel far into the stars in search of a shred of hope, never to return.

So, she was convinced that the Demon Emperor was lying.

What the White Emperor didn't know was that Guang Xiaoyu had indeed comprehended it, not because of Reincarnation, but because she had cultivated a Cultivation Technique that didn't belong to this world:

The Nine Revolutions Demon God Skill.

Guang Xiaoyu chuckled. "Do you want to see?"

The White Emperor was speechless.

"Once deployed, let alone your Monster Emperor City, even the entire Southern Region might be destroyed..." Guang Xiaoyu blinked. "It's too powerful! AH! There's no point telling you; after all, you're just a minor Emperor Realm powerhouse."

The corners of the White Emperor's mouth twitched. "When it comes to boasting, the Demon Emperor still takes the cake."

Guang Xiaoyu remained unaffected.

The two women chatted about many things in the gazebo. Seemingly, they were catching up on old times, yet each remark was a thrust with a hidden blade, fraught with killing intention.

Of course, this killing intention wasn't a matter of strength or Divine Sense, but of words.

The Demon Emperor sought the White Emperor's weaknesses to mock mercilessly.

The White Emperor was also looking for her flaws.

The battle between the two women raged on, evenly matched. After dozens of rounds, both had experienced wins and losses.

The few people watching from a distance were dumbfounded.

It wasn't until several hours later, after the two women finished another battle and a period of silence, that Guang Xiaoyu suddenly spoke up, "Are we friends?"

The White Emperor could only think, What in the world?!

They had grown up fighting together, no fewer than 10,000 times.

Were they friends or foes?

She couldn't tell and simply chose not to answer.

"Give me that half-stick of incense," Guang Xiaoyu said, looking at her.

"OH?"

The White Emperor was stunned. "Are you actually asking me for something?" Her eyes darted about, an indescribable excitement bubbling within her, and without waiting for Guang Xiaoyu to respond, she continued, "I should have everyone witness this!"

The illustrious Demon Emperor, actually asking her for something.

Wasn't this an admission that she, the White Emperor, was formidable?

After over a hundred thousand years of struggle, it was indeed she, the White Emperor, who had emerged victorious, HAHAHA...

The White Emperor's smile was brilliant.

Guang Xiaoyu frowned. "You are to give it to me, not lend it."

"HM?"

The White Emperor's smile froze. "On what grounds should I give it to you? You're being utterly unreasonable! Have you no shame?" As she spoke, the Divine Might within her body uncontrollably diffused into the surroundings.

In just the span of a breath, it enveloped the entire Monster Emperor City, causing everyone to feel a powerful, suffocating pressure. They all looked towards the Monster Emperor Mansion.

The few people seated not far away, including the Emperor Spirit, felt an even more intense oppression, their faces turning pale as their bodies trembled.

The Demon Emperor wasn't asking for a favor but demanding directly.

This was just so... quintessentially Demon Emperor.

The White Emperor remembered the past. This woman had always been unreasonable. If she wanted something and didn't get it, one had better just brace for what was coming!

But things used to be manageable.

The Demon Emperor had some influence, legacies, and established spiritual traditions in the Western Wilderness. If she dared to cause trouble, the White Emperor would simply go and deal with her.

But the situation was different now.

The Demon Emperor had returned from death, completely severing ties with the established spiritual traditions of the Western Wilderness. She's all alone now, isn't she? At most, she has a few friends.

On the other hand, the White Emperor...

An entire Southern Region, along with this Monster Emperor City, the Monster Emperor Mansion, and all the great and small members of the Demon Race, all depended on her for survival.

If the Demon Emperor got furious and started killing indiscriminately across this land without reason... The very thought is terrifying.

The White Emperor revealed her killing intention, staring fixedly at the Demon Emperor, ready to strike her down at the slightest movement.

However, Guang Xiaoyu looked at her and said, "We can make an exchange."

The White Emperor laughed. At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was even more curious. The Demon Emperor before her now was completely different from the one she had known.

In the past, she would have struck out the next moment, killing without hesitation or care. Utterly brutal.

"I am now an Emperor Realm powerhouse, invincible among mortals. What do you think I need?" the White Emperor chuckled lightly, her long hair draped over her shoulders, exuding an air of noble elegance and graceful demeanor.

TSK TSK! She's just putting on an act.

She, Guang Xiaoyu, had also verified the Tao. Only after entering the Emperor Realm could one understand that it was, in fact, merely the beginning of the myriad realms. Moreover, the Emperor Realm was the most dangerous in the mortal world. Otherwise… where had all those past Emperor Realm powerhouses gone? Guang Xiaoyu had a deep understanding of this.

"Before I came here, I guessed that you would mock me, even ruthlessly refuse me, even if I brought out something you desire. But in order to belittle me, you would still refuse," Guang Xiaoyu said. "So, the condition I'm about to offer you, I'll only say once. If you so much as frown, I'll leave immediately."

"Let's hear it?" the White Emperor said with disdain.

WHOOSH!

Guang Xiaoyu wasted no words, slowly unrolling the Immortality Realm. "Give me half a stick of incense, and when the darkness descends one day, I will save your life."

With that said, she quickly retracted the Immortality Realm.

The White Emperor jolted, a look of astonishment on her face.

What was that?

She recognized it.

Within the unadorned scroll, many things were hidden: life, death, the Great Tao, boundlessness...

How could it be? The Immortality Realm, sought after for over 100,000 years in the cultivation world, is actually in the hands of the Demon Emperor?

"One..." Guang Xiaoyu extended a finger. "Two..."

"Fine!" The White Emperor quickly regained her composure. Without any hesitation, she agreed on the spot. "I'll give it to you."

Not far away, the heart of that regal woman trembled; the White Emperor had actually yielded to the Demon Emperor.

She had been watching the battle.

Two Empresses had been clashing fiercely, their battle seemingly at a stalemate. She had thought it would end in a draw. But unexpectedly... the White Emperor yielded and agreed to give the Demon Emperor half a stick of incense.

As for the scroll that the Demon Emperor had just revealed, she was somewhat perplexed as to what it was.

She could vaguely guess but dared not dwell on it.
