The Biluo Heavenly Emperor is the ruler of the Biluo Realm, a power that needs not be ntioned. Although Wang Xiaoqiang has an Undying Golden Body in the Mahayana Realm, rendering his physical body indestructible, his soul and spirit are quite fragile. Perhaps with just a wave of the Emperor's hand, his soul might be scattered.
However, majesty cannot be compromised. If Wang Xiaoqiang were to kneel in humiliation now, it would greatly harm his Daoist Heart and future cultivation.
"Hmm, the Biluo Heavenly Emperor summoned surely with a request or a task, so she won't kill . Thus, even if I displease her now, she can only endure temporarily…" Thinking this, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Heavenly Emperor, you might as well kill ."
"Hmm? Why should I kill you?"
"I am afraid I will displease you because in my life, I only kneel to my parents."
"In the Immortal Realm, facing Huang Ce, not kneeling is a cri of deceiving the monarch. Do you know why he spared you?" asked the Biluo Heavenly Emperor.
Wang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat. This happened in the Immortal Realm long ago, before he even arrived in the Biluo Realm. How did the Biluo Heavenly Emperor know about this? Could he be an Astrologer, capable of divination?
Pondering quietly in his heart, Wang Xiaoqiang answered truthfully, "Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, I think it was because among the power-holders of the Yellow Dragon Empire, Prince Ann's power and cultivation were too strong, threatening Huang Ce's imperial throne. Maybe he saw potential in , worthy of cultivation, and wanted to use to suppress Prince Ann's power..."
"Hmm, you've analyzed it correctly," the Biluo Heavenly Emperor replied. "I can tell you clearly, even if you don't kneel today, I won't kill you. You know the reason, right..."
Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, "Yes."
"Do you know why?"
"Maybe there's still a bit of significance of being alive for you, Heavenly Emperor..."
"Haha, you are indeed very clever," the Biluo Heavenly Emperor laughed, her voice quite gentle and her deanor calm and kind, without a hint of anger.
"Can you guess why I've called you?"
"It should be related to my Heavenly Eye..." Wang Xiaoqiang replied.
"Hmm, how did you guess?" the Biluo Heavenly Emperor asked, surprised.
"After the Realm Capital tournant, you invited to a feast at the City Lord's Mansion. During the Hundred Battles Fierce Chamber elimination contest, I reached the ninth stage; that Evil Immortal there ntioned giving attention and safeguarding my life, and also referred to my Heavenly Eye. Besides the peculiarity of my Heavenly Eye, other spell techniques are insignificant to you, Heavenly Emperor. So, these two matters suggest that calling must be related to the Heavenly Eye."
"Hmm, you are indeed insightful. That's correct. I once sent my avatar to invite you and instructed the organizers of the Hundred Battles Fierce Chamber contest to protect your life, and those actions were for today's matter."
"Heavenly Emperor, feel free to command whatever you need. I will do my utmost to accomplish it without slack," Wang Xiaoqiang declared his stance.
"Hmm, very well. I want you to use the Heavenly Eye to help find a thief."
"A thief?"
"Yes, she stole the secret art of my Spirit Gathering Array. You just need to find him and notify . Leave the rest to ."
"What is this person's na?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.
"He is not a person, he is the Grim Reaper."
"The Grim Reaper?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked, confused.
"The Grim Reaper is an anomaly invading from the outside. He condenses spell techniques using the Death Qi from the dead, hence the na Grim Reaper."
"The Grim Reaper is very powerful. His Death Curse Technique can cause a Purple Mansion Immortal Level cultivator to burst and die instantly. Even so weaker True Immortals of Myriad Phases are not exempt."
Wang Xiaoqiang's heart jumped upon hearing this. Damn, this is too powerful, no wonder he could steal the Heavenly Emperor's secret technique.
"So, your task is to use the Heavenly Eye to find it. As for killing it, don't interfere, or you'll die a horrible death..."
"Understood," Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "But what if this Grim Reaper spreads the secret art of the Spirit Gathering Array widely?"
"Hmm, I have thought about this as well. The Spirit Gathering Array is a personal secret technique, not to be leaked one bit. So if you find a suspicious Spirit Gathering Array, just notify directly..."
"Yes."
"Once you complete this task, I will give you a reward. I will make an exception and set up a dium-sized Spirit Gathering Array for your Windrise Tribe."
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor," Wang Xiaoqiang was a bit excited. The Spirit Gathering Array is significant for cultivators, and even more so for him because he could rapidly cultivate and progress within it, without worrying about being overwheld by the turbulent Spiritual Energy, unlike Body Cultivators who cannot quickly advance despite being set in the Spirit Gathering Array.
"Right, I'm giving you seven days. Go back to your Windrise Tribe to take over, then you can safely go search for the Grim Reaper. As for the Windrise Tribe, I'll find soone to watch over it for you first."
"Additionally, to ensure your safety, I will give you a Thousand-Mile Invisibility Talisman. If you encounter danger, just crush one and you can instantly escape a thousand miles away. I'll also give you several powerful disposable magic treasures..."
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor." Wang Xiaoqiang cupped his fists, thinking to himself that a woman surely thinks in intricate details, considering everything so thoroughly.
"Moreover, I've arranged a al for you. After eating, have a rest here for a day as a reward."
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor." Wang Xiaoqiang felt a surge of excitent hearing this. This reward is more practical than anything else, for this place is the Formation Core of a large Spirit Gathering Array. The Spiritual Energy from within ten thousand miles converges here, and just by breathing, one can significantly augnt one's cultivation, let alone spending an entire day here.
He wasn't sure about others, but as for him, spending a day here would surely raise his cultivation by one level.
"Alright, that's it," the Biluo Heavenly Emperor said, as her graceful form swayed slightly, and a shadow separated from her, transforming into the previously ntioned avatar. The avatar approached Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "Little Qiang, follow ."
The avatar wore different clothing from the original body; although their voices were identical, the tone was notably more polite, demonstrating the principle of the avatar being like a servant.
Wang Xiaoqiang followed this avatar out of the main hall to a side hall, where he noticed that whether outside or inside the hall, there wasn't a single person in sight, all quiet and empty, as if the underwater world had only the Biluo Heavenly Emperor existing.
"The Biluo Heavenly Emperor shows her true appearance, so why does her avatar keep its face covered? How strange..." Wang Xiaoqiang cast a glance at the avatar beside him, pondering secretly.
The side hall differed from the Biluo Palace; although not large, it had a fair amount of furnishings like screens, tables, chairs, and soft couches. The Biluo Heavenly Emperor's avatar clapped, and two boy disciples, carrying wine and dishes, entered, placing them on the table.
Wang Xiaoqiang cast a glance at the wine and dishes, sniffing and feeling an intense aroma of wine enter his nostrils, warming his heart, intoxicatingly fragrant. (To be continued.
