I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1128 418: The Daoist Venerable Secretly Eats Alone! Empress and Empress Meet! (Part 3)

Ji Hongxiu carried Chen Mo into the room, placed him on the bed, and carefully checked his wrist. Only after confirming there were no physical abnormalities did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Actually, the moment she saw that phenomenon, she realized what had happened—

The world knows that Chen Mo is the youngest Harmonization Grandmaster, but they don't know which Dao he harmonized with.

Back then in the Chaos Dao Domain, Chen Mo comprehended three Origin Qi in total: Tribulation, Returning Ruins, and Cause and Effect.

Speaking in terms of level, each of these Qi could rival the Supreme Sword Intent, and the combination of the three, along with his own comprehension of Sword Dao, made it no surprise that he could refine them.

This is a good thing for Chen Mo, but for Huo Wuya, it's a huge loss.

After all, that was Martial Saint Mountain's accumulation of nearly a thousand years, but now it has been completely drained, which is why Ji Hongxiu "reported the troublemaker first" and hastily took him away, just worried that the old man would realize and find him for reckoning...

"Just a bit scattered in consciousness, probably due to the impact of Evil Qi. A few days of rest should be enough."

"Judging from the current state, it seems he is approaching the Peak of Unity, just waiting for the right opportunity, and he might break through to the Second Grade Realm at any time."

"Heh, Huo Wuya still wants to accept Chen Mo as a disciple. I reckon soon Chen Mo's realm might catch up to his!"

Ji Hongxiu murmured secretly.

At that moment, Chen Mo's body suddenly became scorching, and dazzling red light radiated from his Dantian.

Soon, a sphere made of nine rings appeared out of thin air, containing a blood-colored core like amber, slowly rotating.

Under the influence of the red light, the seal scripts on the rings lit up one by one, until all five rings were illuminated.

Feeling that increasingly familiar aura, Ji Hongxiu's pupils suddenly shrank into pinpoints.

"Tribulation?!"

As one of the Origin Dao principles, Tribulation might not have the strongest destructive power, but it definitely carries the heaviest killing intent.

Its fundamental existence is to eliminate those "non-compliant" existences, and Ultimate Venerable cultivators, in their quest for enlightenment, have already crossed the threshold of Heavenly Dao's tolerance, which makes them primary targets for Tribulation!

The so-called "cost" thus arises!

Under the influence of that aura, the Karmic Fire that had just calmed down in Ji Hongxiu's Spirit Platform seemed to be igniting once again!

She was caught in a dilemma, being too close to Chen Mo would result in being targeted by Tribulation, but moving away from him meant unable to suppress the cost...

"Antidote and poison appearing in the same person, truly a nemesis for me." Ji Hongxiu bit her lip, steeling her heart, knowing that avoidance wouldn't solve the problem, that things had reached this degree, and one more time wouldn't make a difference.

She reached out and untied the silk sash around her waist, her pure white Daoist robe slipping off like flowing clouds, as she straddled over Chen Mo.

Feeling that scorching body temperature, her cheeks flushed red, and a misty veil rose in her eyes.

"Hopefully, no one will interrupt us this time?"

However, Ji Hongxiu didn't know that to avoid detection by the Empress, Chen Mo would use Secret Techniques to conceal Dao Power fluctuations every time he cultivated.

Usually, the Erosion Light Hourglass sufficed, but if both parties' Dao Power was particularly compatible, some leakage was inevitable, and problems nearly arose before when entering the Dao.

His current solution is using "Purple Extreme Cave Heaven" to completely block perception, which was employed in cultivation with Ye Zi'e in the Southern Border, and last night during the master-disciple meal.

But now, he is unconscious and unable to activate the Dharma Image...

...

...

Tiandu City.

Frozen Sky Palace, inner hall.

He Yuzhi sat properly, looking somewhat uneasy.

Yu Youhan picked up the teapot, personally poured her a cup of tea, and said, "Madam, no need to be nervous. This time, I invited you to the palace not for any particular reason, just for some idle chatter."

He Yuzhi took the teacup with both hands, forced a smile, and said, "I'm just worried about delaying the Empress's important affairs."

Yu Youhan shook her head, saying, "This is the important affair for me."

"..."

He Yuzhi's mouth twitched slightly, her eyes showing a peculiar expression.

Ever since being "caught" in the Lv Mansion last time, the Empress not only wasn't angry, but her attitude became even closer than before.

First, she stayed at Chen Mansion for several days, and then called her into the palace, seemingly having endless things to talk about, and the topic was almost always about Chen Mo and the women around him...

Just about to write "I have taken a liking to your son" on her face.

What kind of magic does this kid have, that even the Empress is so fixated on him?

As He Yuzhi was pondering quietly, footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by Xu Qingyi's voice, "Empress, Her Majesty the Empress has arrived."

"Hmm?"

Yu Youhan frowned, "What is she here for?"
