Chapter 536 - 209: The Great Collapse of the Empress! Almost Comparable to the Empress’s..._2
"What is that calamity?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
"You can understand it as the self-purification mechanism of the Heavenly Dao, using disasters to eliminate non-compliant existences... The price Ji Hongxiu suffered was due to this," Yu Youhan said thoughtfully. "You, possessing Dragon Qi and favored by the Heavenly Dao, don’t seem to have anything to do with calamity, so why did the Military Dao Inheritance choose you?"
Chen Mo scratched his head.
To be exact, it was not the Military Dao Inheritance that chose him.
This Soldier Control Pattern was actually a reward given by the system...
"Calamity, price, Dragon Qi..."
Chen Mo seemed to grasp something, but it flickered away, unclear.
"What path does the Empress cultivate?"
"Returning Ruins, the path of the extinction of all things."
Yu Youhan sat nearby with her legs crossed, her exquisite feet swinging back and forth, "But you don’t need to worry too much. This Soldier Pattern is a good thing. Gaining a little understanding will greatly enhance your strength... Whether you want to follow the path of calamity in the future is up to you."
Chen Mo nodded.
Since the Empress said there’s no problem, then there must be no problem.
As for which great path to cultivate... Considering his current cultivation at Fourth Rank, pondering this question seems meaningless.
"Oh right."
"This time, in addition to the Military Dao Inheritance, I also obtained a wisp of Dragon Qi, although its color is somewhat different than before..."
Chen Mo spread his palm, releasing a purple-gold light, faintly accompanied by the roar of a dragon, shining brilliantly like a blazing sun.
?
Yu Youhan was slightly startled, then exclaimed, "Taiyin Geng Metal?! Where did you get this?"
Chen Mo shrugged and said, "Picked it up, Your Highness."
"..."
Yu Youhan was momentarily speechless.
She had been dormant in the Imperial Palace for several years, scheming without success, yet this kid casually picked up a wisp? And it happens to be Taiyin Geng Metal, which symbolizes Imperial Power?!
Isn’t this too ridiculous!
Chen Mo continued, "I saw the character ’Li’ on the Mountain of Blades and Tomb of Swords, this wisp of Dragon Qi might have been left by Princess Chu Yanli..."
"Chu Yanli?"
Yu Youhan raised her eyebrow slightly.
Chen Mo asked, "Empress, is this princess difficult to deal with?"
Yu Youhan shook her head indifferently and said, "Just a little girl who relies on external objects and overextends her talent, not worth worrying about... But you should indeed be cautious. If this is truly her doing, she might be plotting something..."
"Yes."
Chen Mo nodded in acknowledgment.
Judging by the Empress’s attitude, this wisp of golden Dragon Qi seems to be significant.
It seems I should keep a low profile for a while...
"Already possessing Purple Extreme Qian Yuan, and now another wisp of Taiyin Geng Metal..."
"Moreover, obtained the Military Dao Inheritance..."
"This guy..."
Yu Youhan looked at Chen Mo with complex emotions in her eyes.
This can no longer be described as luck. Calling him the favored child of the Heavenly Dao is not an exaggeration!
"Previously, I thought he was a Heart Demon hindering cultivation, but now it seems he is a catalyst for breakthroughs."
"Not only do I think this way, others do as well... I have to keep a close watch on him."
A sense of crisis welled up in Yu Youhan’s heart.
Ji Hongxiu, Jiang Yuchan, Demon Lord... now Chu Yanli too.
The number of bad women coveting Chen Mo seems to be increasing...
"Chen Mo."
"Hmm?"
"You once said you had a dream where I was betrayed by everyone, turned into a global enemy, and died in front of the Frozen Sky Palace..."
"Why is the Empress bringing this up suddenly?"
"In truth, I had a similar dream."
"Hmm?"
Chen Mo was stunned upon hearing this.
Yu Youhan was silent for a moment and then softly spoke, "I dreamt of a mysterious man whose face I couldn’t see clearly, who came all the way to the front of the Frozen Sky Palace and defeated me effortlessly."
"Even though I used all possible means, I couldn’t match him and was killed repeatedly, over a hundred times, with no chance to fight back."
"That was the first time I experienced true despair."
Chen Mo: "..."
Clearly, that "mysterious man" was him.
Before this, during his traversal, he had completely overpowered the Empress... Could it be that the Empress somehow sensed this? Is everything really predestined?
"Perhaps it is not a dream, but a premonition of something about to happen. But I don’t care."
"My Dao Heart is firm as iron; I never believe in fate... Since I lost, I will figure out how to become stronger. Whether it be destiny or cause and effect, it can all be cut by one sword!"
Yu Youhan’s tone was clear and calm, as if merely stating a fact.
Chen Mo deeply agreed with this.
No one understands the strength of the Empress better than him!
In the known plot of Unmatched Immortal, she was the only one who could not be defeated whatsoever.
Even with full cultivation, she remained an unbeatable adversary, exceeding the norm to an almost absurd degree!
"But..."
Yu Youhan lowered her head and looked at the red ribbon on her wrist, her emerald eyes slightly narrowing, like a bottomless pool.
"After meeting you, I began to waver."
"This red ribbon causes me to lose my cultivation, rendering me fragile like a mortal... Without my greatest reliance, it seems my Dao Heart isn’t as steadfast as I thought."
Ji Hongxiu was right; her Dao Heart is indeed unstable.
At their level of cultivation, this is a significant flaw!
Seeing the Empress’s forlorn expression, Chen Mo felt a clog in his heart and whispered, "Empress..."
"Chen Mo, you promised me..." Yu Youhan lifted her eyes to look at him, a mix of complex emotions swirling within them, "No matter how the Empress and Ji Hongxiu try to seduce you, you won’t abandon me, will you?"
