Chapter 1,318 The Empress’ Threat (Part 1)
At first glance, this condition does not seem harsh. Yang Chen had practiced Sanqing Jue, and he was the only one after Dao Ancestor who had practiced it. Now that Dao Ancestor is no longer able to split his consciousness again, the only suitable one is Yang Chen.
Yang Chen does have two spiritual clones. The problem is that one is the weapon spirit of his own natal magic weapon, and the other is the weapon spirit of the mountain and river geography map. If the two spiritual consciousness clones are removed, the problem will be huge.
The Immortal Killing Sword has always been Yang Chen's natal magic weapon. With the second soul as the weapon spirit, its power has indeed increased a lot. But if there is no weapon spirit, the problem is not too big. At most, the power will be reduced by half, but the Immortal Killing Sword is still Yang Chen's magic weapon. So many years of natal sacrifice are not in vain.
But the tool spirit of the mountain and river geography map is not that simple. It can be said that the geographical map of mountains and rivers can form a world of its own because of the third soul that has mastered part of the way of heaven. Without the third soul to suppress so many dragons and spirits and without mastering the way of heaven, the geographical map of mountains and rivers would still be just mountains and rivers. The geographical map is, at best, at the level of a broken dragon. It is absolutely impossible to completely refine the two realms and reach the current scale.
Yang Chen didn't believe that Empress Houtu didn't know how important the geographical map of mountains and rivers was. Apart from anything else, could the Queen of the Earth be able to let go of the trillions of living beings inside? If she could really ignore so many creatures inside, would the empress still be the empress that all the monks would worship involuntarily?
But she knew the importance of the geographical map of mountains and rivers, but she still proposed to give up the two clones at this time, which fully demonstrated the two formations in front of her. It's not as simple as it seems.
"What should I do with the geographical map of mountains and rivers?" Although the one in front of me only showed a shadow. But Yang Chen would never believe that this was just a shadow. It was definitely Empress Houtu who was talking directly to him.
Perhaps the real test has just begun. Now Yang Chen is very clear that no matter which formation he chooses, it will be like this scene. It is clear that Empress Houtu has specially made a game here to wait for Yang Chen.
Yang Chen didn't mention the billions of living beings in the geographical map of mountains and rivers, he just asked. I believe the empress will naturally understand what he means.
The empress was silent for a long time before she spoke again. But as soon as she opened her mouth, Yang Chen was startled again: "I will be the tool spirit for the mountain and river geography map."
Yang Chen faced mountains of swords and seas of blood, beheaded the Supreme Immortal, and even became sworn brothers with Dao Ancestor. After knowing the identity of Dao Ancestor, he still maintained a brotherly relationship with Dao Ancestor and interacted naturally, but when he heard this answer from his empress, After that, I was severely frightened again.
Yang Chen was frightened twice in a row. They were all frightened by Empress Houtu. It could be said that in just two short contacts, Empress Houtu gave Yang Chen two solid scares.
Empress Houtu made the weapon spirit herself? That meant that Empress Houtu had to give up her supreme dignity, her supreme identity, and her newly recovered body. This is almost equivalent to giving up one's own life.
If the tool spirit of the mountain and river geography map is Houtu Empress. How effective is it compared to Yang Chen's third soul? This is almost no need to ask, and it is not a difficult-to-answer multiple-choice question. As long as you are a monk and a monk who knows Empress Houtu and Yang Chen's cultivation, you will definitely be able to give the correct answer.
But the more this happened, the more frightened Yang Chen became. What kind of reason would make Empress Houtu willing to give up everything and be willing to be the weapon spirit of a magic weapon in the hands of a junior?
This time it was Yang Chen's turn to be silent. Do you want to take out the two spiritual clones? Empress Houtu also knew Yang Chen's hesitation and did not rush him. Instead, he quietly waited for Yang Chen to think.
"Even your Majesty, you have to do this. I'm afraid, it's not enough for this junior to just give two spiritual clones, right?" Yang Chen pondered for a while, and then asked towards the phantom of the Empress.
"That's right!" Empress Houtu had no intention of hiding anything. Of course, the premise was that Yang Chen figured it out and asked. Otherwise, she would only tell Yang Chen that he only needed two spiritual clones. If Yang Chen couldn't even think of such a simple truth, there would be no need to test anything, and he would directly die in the next action.
Yang Chen is a person who has died once, and speaking of it, he is really not afraid of dying again. In particular, he knew very clearly that even if he died now, he would not die completely. With the Qishen Pill, he can be resurrected quickly even if he dies. No matter how bad it is, if there is still a ray of divine consciousness seed left in the mortal world, just start practicing again like brother Li Cheng. At most, you can still stand here in the fairy world for several thousand years.
Not being afraid of death does not mean that Yang Chen will die casually, so there are some things that Yang Chen must figure out whether it is really worth doing.
"Anyway, you have the seeds of spiritual consciousness left behind by practicing the Three Purities Art. Even if you die, you will be resurrected soon. It will only delay your practice for thousands of years." Empress Houtu saw that Yang Chen was not so happy. , said in a very inducing and general way.
"Why?" Yang Chen knew that if he didn't ask, the empress would definitely not answer. If you nod your head immediately without saying anything, you will definitely win the favor of Empress Houtu, and you will definitely do your best to serve as the tool spirit of the mountain and river geography map without any second thoughts. The problem is, Yang Chen doesn't want to lose his life in such a confused way.
Presumably, the empress didn't know that Yang Chen had the Shenqi Jade, so she didn't know that the price of Yang Chen's death would be lighter than she imagined. Maybe he wanted to test Yang Chen's character through this small test, but Yang Chen didn't know.
"Because of your appearance, I saw an opportunity to solve my previous mistakes." Empress Houtu is not pretentious or concealing. She knows very well that when she is willing to do something, the effect is far better than being forced to do it. Empress Houtu herself was a bit inadequate before, but now she can make up for it, and she is the happiest one. But he would not force Yang Chen to do it, but would patiently tell him the truth and persuade Yang Chen to do it on his own initiative.
"I took it for granted before. I never thought that one day the demon world and the demon world would collapse because the demonic energy was too strong and unbearable." Yang Chen didn't ask any more questions, just waiting for the empress's answer. The empress told the whole story in detail: "It wasn't until I saw that the soil can absorb the demonic energy and grow, that I thought of a way."
"You have the soil here, a complete geographical map of mountains and rivers, and a complete world. As long as the soil continues to absorb the demonic energy, one day the growing area will be able to completely turn into a complete demon world." The empress was very happy. , and he said it very carefully: "In this way, the Three Realms are still the same Three Realms, and you can also have a complete Three Realms here. Isn't it the best of both worlds?" (To be continued~^~)
