Chapter 579 - 481: Celestial Demon Dungeon (Second Update)
Hearing Emperor Gaozong of Tang's words, Yang Tian was completely frozen.
Even though this voice was just a consciousness of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang had long since passed away.
But before his passing, Emperor Gaozong of Tang had condensed his consciousness into the Jade Slip, and every time Yang Tian wanted to cultivate the Power Seal, Emperor Gaozong of Tang's consciousness would always emerge.
But this time, Yang Tian could no longer remain calm.
Although before his passing, Emperor Gaozong had already betrothed Wu Zetian to Yang Tian.
Because Yang Tian could refine the Soul Imperial Spring, Emperor Gaozong thought that Yang Tian was more deserving of Wu Zetian than he was.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang had cultivated for over a thousand years but still couldn't cultivate the Power Seal to its peak.
Only by being with Wu Zetian and obtaining the sacred and powerful Spiritual Breath from her body could the Power Seal be cultivated to its peak.
Therefore, Emperor Gaozong betrothed Wu Zetian to Yang Tian.
But despite this, Wu Zetian still had to remain a widow for Emperor Gaozong.
Because she felt that Emperor Gaozong had only passed away, but his soul still existed somewhere.
And Yang Tian did not agree with what Emperor Gaozong had said.
In Yang Tian's heart, Emperor Gaozong would always be his master, how could he agree?
But nothing went according to Yang Tian's wishes.
When Yang Tian wanted to cultivate the second level of the Power Seal, his master's consciousness attached itself to Yang Tian, causing Wu Zetian and Yang Tian to roll together.
Although nothing substantial happened, it was enough to make Yang Tian feel guilty for a lifetime.
The most serious thing was that his master's consciousness wanted Yang Tian and Wu Zetian to have a real relationship in order to cultivate the third level of the Power Seal?
At this thought, Yang Tian became nervous.
"Disciple, your master's consciousness needs to rest for a while."
At this time, Emperor Gaozong of Tang's consciousness flickered and retreated into the Jade Slip.
"Master..."
Yang Tian was just about to run his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip when he heard a startled cry: "Ah!!!"
He looked down, his expression changed.
Because at this moment, Wu Zetian had actually woken up.
"Yang Tian you..."
Seeing herself lying in Yang Tian's arms, both of them naked, Wu Zetian's expression changed in an instant. She raised her hand and slapped Yang Tian's face.
Slap!
A crisp sound rang out.
Although Yang Tian was slapped, he was not angry in the slightest.
On the contrary, he instinctively knelt before Wu Zetian: "I'm sorry, master's wife, this was not my intention. It was my master's consciousness that emerged, he was attached to me, that's why you mistook me for master, and then...that..."
Wu Zetian's face changed slightly: "Are you saying that I mistook you for the emperor and took the initiative with you?"
"That's right, exactly so!"
Even though Yang Tian felt guilty, he still needed to clarify.
Upon hearing Yang Tian's words, a look of doubt flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes as she forcefully recalled something.
Suddenly, she lowered her head and looked at Yang Tian's chest, where there was her lip print.
In an instant, she remembered something: "That's right, just now I was indeed joyful with the emperor, but wait... does that mean it wasn't the emperor, but you? Is it really as you say, that the emperor's consciousness attached to you, making me think you were the emperor..."
At this point, Wu Zetian stopped, looking at Yang Tian with an expression both awkward and angry.
Slap!
Yang Tian slapped himself: "Please forgive me, master's wife, your disciple has absolutely no improper thoughts!"
As he spoke, Yang Tian wanted to raise his hand to slap himself again.
But at this moment, Wu Zetian grabbed Yang Tian's wrist and said, "Enough, I believe you; you don't need to beat yourself anymore! You are right, it was my mistake thinking you were the emperor. This must be the emperor's doing. He must want you to cultivate the Power Seal!"
"Exactly so!"
Yang Tian said.
"What madness has the emperor gone into, why would he hand his woman over to another?"
Wu Zetian said, lamenting in sadness.
Yang Tian wanted to say something to comfort Wu Zetian, but the words stopped on his lips, and as he glanced towards Wu Zetian's body, seeing those majestic peaks, his heart skipped a beat, and an inappropriate desire surged within him.
"What are you looking at!"
Wu Zetian noticed Yang Tian's odd behavior, and her expression turned solemn.
"I'm sorry, master's wife!"
Yang Tian quickly apologized and withdrew his gaze.
"Yang Tian, I tell you, you are my disciple, and you will always be my disciple. I have sworn that in this life, I will only remain faithful to the emperor until I find his soul! I have waited over a thousand years, what does another thousand years matter?"
Wu Zetian spoke with determination.
Hearing Wu Zetian's words, Yang Tian cursed himself silently.
The master's wife is so noble, belonging to the master alone.
"And I warn you, if it happens again, I will surely have you torn to pieces!"
Wu Zetian said coldly.
Hearing this, Yang Tian felt a jolt in his heart.
He recalled his master's consciousness saying, "Soon, I will have you cultivate the third level of the Power Seal; then you must have a real relationship with Wu Mei!"
This sentence echoed in Yang Tian's mind.
In a moment, Yang Tian's face turned very pale.
God knows when his master's consciousness would make him cultivate the third level of the Power Seal; when that time comes, not only would he be disloyal to his master, but he would also be torn to pieces by master's wife invoking imperial power.
Seeing Yang Tian's troubled expression, Wu Zetian felt a bit gratified: "Now you feel afraid, you know what to do?"
"I understand..."
Yang Tian said softly.
He lowered his head, lost in his thoughts.
Wu Zetian glanced coldly at Yang Tian, without saying anything further, quickly dressed herself, seeing Yang Tian sitting there in a daze, she snapped, "I order you to dress immediately!"
"Okay!"
Yang Tian nodded, quickly dressing.
After doing all this, Yang Tian wanted to ask Wu Zetian her opinion, whether to continue resting or to continue on their journey.
But he saw Wu Zetian's cold face sitting there, ignoring him.
Yang Tian shook his head, saying nothing more.
Sometime later, Ling Ying woke up. Seeing Yang Tian and Wu Zetian sitting on either side in silence, she couldn't help asking, "Yang, did something happen?"
"Nothing, let's continue our journey!"
Yang Tian said, running his Spiritual Breath, leading the two women forward.
It was unclear how long had passed when they saw a ring of light ahead and stopped.
"Here is all void, yet ahead is a ring of light, perhaps this ring is the passage into the Celestial Demon Domain!"
Wu Zetian said.
"It should be, let's go in!"
Yang Tian waved, leading the two women into the ring of light.
Crash!
The next second, the three passed through the ring, landing on solid ground.
But quickly, the three frowned.
Because they found themselves inside a stone prison.
There were stone walls on all sides, and only a stone door half a meter away, though the stone door was locked, there was a small skylight through which one could see a sliver of blood-red moonlight outside.
"Where is this place? Why have we come here?"
Wu Zetian asked in confusion.
Yang Tian said nothing, but ran his Divine Sense to explore the surroundings.
Soon, he discovered that a soul clinging to Wu Yue was nearby; he focused his gaze, seeing the surroundings filled with stone prisons, each imprisoning one or two creatures, though he could not make out what kind of creatures they were.
He turned to Wu Zetian and Ling Ying: "If I'm not mistaken, we should have arrived at the Celestial Demon Dungeon where they imprison prisoners, Wu Yue is nearby too!"
"Celestial Demon Dungeon?"
Wu Zetian frowned: "So every stone prison has prisoners? Wait, what's imprisoned here with us?"
As she spoke, Wu Zetian turned to look deeper into the stone prison.
Soon, she saw in the corner, a crouched figure: "Someone is here!"
Yang Tian and Ling Ying also noticed the figure in the corner.
"Who is it?"
Yang Tian sent out a flame to illuminate the stone prison, and soon the figure in the corner came into view, and seeing the figure's face, Wu Zetian exclaimed: "It's you!!!"
