Chapter 186: Great Emperor’s Treasure, Empress Master

“Auntie actually.”

Bai Lu and Bai Bing’s eyes widened. Their aunt, whom they had always admired and respected, the peerless female war goddess, was actually crying like a courtesan after being ‘played’ by Zhou Chen.

Tears streamed down her face, her eyes red and swollen, her nose running. She looked so pitiful that it made one want to…
“Sorry, we came at the wrong time!”

Bai Lu and Bai Bing were about to turn and leave. Although Bai Qi had called them in, they felt that their aunt must have been driven mad by the pleasure.

Indeed.

No matter how much of a war goddess their aunt usually was, when she met a man, she was still no different from other women.

Especially…
Someone like Zhou Chen, a peerless prodigy with extraordinary talent.

His ‘Sword Twenty-Three’ technique, with its sword energy spanning thirty thousand miles, was invincible and terrifying to behold. They felt like they would be pierced through the heart with a single thrust.

“No, you came at the right time!”

Zhou Chen looked up at the two of them, his nimble, ever-changing, fair, and slender two fingers withdrawing from City Lord Bai Qi’s body.

He beckoned to them:

“Your aunt needs your help!”

Their ample bosoms, smooth and shapely legs, and cold and mature charm made Zhou Chen’s heart race.

Bai Bing and Bai Lu’s eyes flickered. They hesitated for a moment, then took small, graceful steps towards Zhou Chen.

They had long heard of Zhou Chen’s great name.

But they had never had the chance to meet him.

They knew why Bai Qi had called them in.

Although they were still virgins and had never been with a man.

They were willing to offer themselves to Zhou Chen if it meant awakening their Great Emperor bloodline.

Looking at Zhou Chen’s beckoning hand, Bai Lu and Bai Bing’s cheeks flushed red, their legs tightening. As peak Law Manifestation Realm experts…

The moment they entered, everything here, including the details, was clearly imprinted in their minds.

The hand that Zhou Chen was using to beckon them had just been on their aunt Bai Qi’s…
“This humble servant Bai Lu（ Bai Bing）, greets Young Master Zhou!”

Arriving in front of Zhou Chen, the two of them bowed gracefully, their heads lowered, their hearts pounding, their faces flushed. Even though they were peak Law Manifestation Realm experts with extraordinary mental fortitude, they felt completely overwhelmed.

“There’s no need for formalities, you two fairies!”

Zhou Chen raised his hand slightly, his damp fingertips gently brushing against Bai Bing’s delicate and fair cheek.

A peculiar scent instantly assaulted her nose. Bai Bing trembled, her clear eyes shifting as she lowered her gaze.

Zhou Chen’s fair, slender, and jade-like index finger had already traced her lips, reaching her thin, red lips.

“Young Master…”

Bai Bing’s heart leaped to her throat. Just as she was about to speak, Zhou Chen took the opportunity to slip his finger into her mouth, silencing her.

“Ah…”

Bai Bing’s eyes widened, her mind going blank.

Seeing this, Bai Qi glared at Zhou Chen.
“You big scoundrel!”

The shame in her heart reached its limit. She didn’t dare look at Bai Bing.

Zhou Chen’s hand still had her…
“City Lord, how heartless!”

Zhou Chen sighed as he used the Supreme Unity Immortal Crane Divine Needles to perform acupuncture on Bai Qi to remove the poison, while simultaneously hooking Bai Bing’s small, fragrant tongue.
“Before, when you wanted me to detoxify you, to help you awaken your White Emperor bloodline, you called me ‘baby’ because you craved the gold in your purse. Now that times have changed, I’ve spent all my money to help you awaken, and my pockets are empty, you call me a scoundrel.”

With that, Zhou Chen pulled away and lifted Bai Bing’s delicate chin.
“Come on, call me ‘good brother,’ and I’ll help you detoxify and awaken your White Emperor bloodline!”

“Good… good bwother…”

Bai Bing mumbled, her face burning with shame.

To have cultivated to the peak of the Law Manifestation Realm, she was not some peerless prodigy. Naturally, she was not young, being over ten thousand years old.

And now she was calling a young man in his twenties ‘good brother’?

How utterly shameful!

“Good!”

Zhou Chen laughed and squeezed Bai Bing’s soft buttocks. They were so bouncy and incredibly comfortable.

Bai Bing understood and lifted her hips.

Lifting her skirt to her waist, Zhou Chen’s sharp eyes observed as he used his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand to massage the area around her wound. He discovered that the poison had already taken effect.

Venom oozed from the depths of the wound.

Zhou Chen didn’t delay any further. He picked up the Supreme Unity Immortal Crane Divine Needles, which he had just used to treat Bai Qi’s poison, and inserted them one by one into the depths of the wound, detoxifying Bai Bing.

Bai Qi, who had collapsed weakly on the couch after being detoxified, was still experiencing some aftereffects. As the poison was expelled and Zhou Chen withdrew, she felt an indescribable emptiness in her heart.

“Why would I crave Zhou Chen detoxifying me? Am I a…”

Shame washed over Bai Qi. In the past, she had been single-mindedly focused on cultivating and becoming stronger, without any desires or wants. She was the City Lord of White Tiger City, a peerless female war goddess.

But ever since she had sought out Zhou Chen to awaken her White Emperor bloodline, she felt like she had changed.

It was as if Pandora’s Box had been opened.

She felt a sense of sinking into desire, unable to extricate herself.

“It’s all this scoundrel’s fault!”

Bai Qi found an excuse for herself.

It was all Zhou Chen’s fault for ‘awakening’ her.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Fairy Bai Lu, your poisoning is quite severe. The first detoxification might be a bit painful.”

Looking at Bai Lu, who was biting her lower lip with her pearly white teeth, Zhou Chen kindly reminded her,
“Bear with it!”

“Mm.”

Bai Lu let out a soft moan, a nasal sound escaping her lips.

“Then I’m going to insert the needles!”

Zhou Chen held the Supreme Unity Immortal Crane Divine Needles, probing Bai Lu’s poisoned wound before plunging them in forcefully.

Bai Bing shuddered, clearly feeling the needles piercing deep into the wound, even reaching the poison sac.

A trace of poisoned blood flowed out from the wound.

Zhou Chen paused for a moment, then continued to apply the Thirty-Six Heavenly Needles technique.

More venom was rapidly expelled as Zhou Chen manipulated the needles.

Bai Bing gritted her teeth, afraid to disturb Zhou Chen’s acupuncture. She raised her fair hand and gently bit down on the back of it.

Bai Lu, who was also injured and poisoned, watched with a mixture of fear and anticipation. She felt the poison spreading rapidly within her body.

She clenched her legs together, enduring the agonizing pain of the poison’s onslaught. It was incredibly uncomfortable.

“Fairy Bai Lu, I have another divine weapon here that can temporarily suppress the poison. Once I’m done detoxifying Fairy Bai Bing, I’ll immediately treat you!”

Zhou Chen retrieved the Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Gallbladders, a divine weapon he had personally refined, and looked at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu’s beautiful eyes trembled. Although she felt deeply ashamed, she gritted her teeth and approached Zhou Chen, determined to be cured and awaken her White Emperor bloodline.

Zhou Chen lifted her skirt to her waist and used his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand to massage the area around her wound. After a thorough examination, he placed the Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Gallbladders inside the wound, suppressing the potent poison within her body.

“Don’t let it fall out!”

“Mm.”

Bai Lu responded softly, not daring to look at Zhou Chen.

“City Lord Bai, although you’ve been detoxified, you still need to consolidate your treatment to prevent the residual poison from flaring up again!”

Looking at Bai Qi, who was lying there sprawled out with her legs wide open, Zhou Chen retrieved another Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Gallbladders and placed it inside her poisoned wound.

Finally, it was Bai Bing’s turn.

Then…

As Zhou Chen continued to treat Bai Bing, activating the divine weapon suppressing the poison within her, the divine weapons inside Bai Qi and Bai Lu’s wounds were also activated, detoxifying them simultaneously.

It was killing three birds with one stone.

Time flew by.

Zhou Chen focused intently on detoxifying Bai Lu and Bai Bing, and in the process, awakening their White Emperor bloodline.

One day…

Zhou Chen brought Bai Qi, Bai Bing, and Bai Lu to Myriad Forms Mountain, located at the center of the Myriad Forms World within his Red Dust Heavenly Boat.

Myriad Forms Mountain, like the legendary Mount Buzhou that held up the heavens in ancient times, was majestic and towering, unimaginably tall. It was the highest point in the Myriad Forms World.

Atop the mountain, exquisite palaces and pavilions stood amidst a forest of immortal trees, resembling a celestial paradise.

Rich primordial spiritual energy filled the air, invigorating the spirit and enhancing cultivation with every breath. It was a cultivation paradise that countless cultivators dreamed of.

“This… this is the inside of your Heavenly Boat?”

Bai Qi, as a King, had seen a lot, but she was truly astounded at this moment.

Standing on the balcony of a celestial palace at the peak of Myriad Forms Mountain, she looked out and saw towering ancient mountains piercing the clouds.

Ancient trees reached for the sky, and all sorts of rare and wondrous beasts roamed and soared through the forests.

It wasn’t unusual for powerful magical treasures or divine weapons to contain a small world within.

Martial Kings could create their own small worlds, and it was even easier for them to refine a secret realm the size of a city into a treasure.

Zhou Chen’s Heavenly Boat was extraordinary, and it wasn’t surprising for it to contain a small world. However, this small world was simply too vast.

Even with her King’s divine sense and eyesight, she couldn’t perceive the boundaries of the Myriad Forms World.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here was incredibly rich and unique, resembling the legendary primordial spiritual energy.

However, she had never seen primordial spiritual energy and didn’t know what it was like, so she couldn’t be sure.

But she could be certain that cultivating here was at least ten times faster than cultivating outside.

“Could this be a refined ancient secret realm?”

Bai Qi thought to herself.

She believed that Zhou Chen must have sought his master, Yao Chi Empress, to help refine it.

Only Great Emperor experts could possibly refine such a vast and terrifying secret realm into a Heavenly Boat.

Even Martial Kings couldn’t do it.

Little did she know that this was not a refined ancient secret realm at all, but a world that Zhou Chen had created himself.

Created using the World Tree Seed, a supreme treasure.

“This is truly eye-opening!”

Bai Lu and Bai Bing were even more astonished. It felt like they had stepped into another world from White Tiger City.

They could hardly believe that this was actually the interior of Zhou Chen’s Heavenly Boat.

If they knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg, they might be scared to death. Currently, the Heavenly Boat contained seven worlds.

The Myriad Forms World was the largest.

But that might not always be the case.

Zhou Chen still had another supreme treasure, the foundation of his rise—the Wind and Moon Mirror.

Once his cultivation reached a higher level, Zhou Chen planned to integrate the Wind and Moon Mirror into the Red Dust Heavenly Boat. At that time, the combined power of the two supreme treasures would be unimaginable!
As for now…
Even if the Heavenly Boat could integrate the Wind and Moon Mirror, which it currently couldn’t, Zhou Chen had no plans to do so for the time being.

The Heavenly Boat was out in the open.

The Wind and Moon Mirror was the foundation of Zhou Chen’s rise, and he didn’t want anyone to know about it.

If the Wind and Moon Mirror were integrated into the Heavenly Boat and caused a huge commotion, attracting the attention of some terrifying existences, wouldn’t that be disastrous?

Zhou Chen understood the principle of not flaunting one’s wealth.

However, that referred to great wealth. One still had to ‘show off a little’ from time to time, like playing the pig to eat the tiger. One couldn’t always play the pig.

Otherwise, one would truly become a pig.

Although Zhou Chen had been cautious and steady on his path, he never truly acted like a pig.

He would strike when necessary, displaying his strength appropriately to earn respect and awe.

From a county constable to a True Inheritance Disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect and the Unbounded Sword Sect, to becoming the Champion Marquis and the Empress’s disciple…
Zhou Chen rarely encountered situations where he was berated by insignificant thugs or challenged by random weaklings!
Unlike some protagonists who were constantly bullied wherever they went, only to finally erupt and show off their strength for a brief moment, only to be challenged again by the thug’s older brother or elder, and then erupt again to show off and slap some faces…

For example, Bai Gui. If it were another protagonist, they would surely conceal their identity, then Bai Gui, being dissatisfied, would provoke the protagonist and get slapped in the face. In the end, Bai Gui would hold a grudge and try to kill the protagonist, only to be killed by the protagonist instead.
Zhou Chen didn’t have a masochistic hobby like other protagonists!

At this moment, Bai Gui was furious.

He knew that his goddess had been ‘bullied’ by Zhou Chen again.

The bicycle he couldn’t bear to ride had been ridden by Zhou Chen standing up.

Turned into a puff pastry.

“Damn it!”

Bai Gui looked at his maidservant and grabbed her hair.

“Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west…”

Bai Gui vented his anger fiercely, vowing to himself…

But after his anger subsided…

He thought about how he was over ten thousand years old and still only at the peak of the Law Manifestation Realm, while Zhou Chen, in his twenties, was already at the Divine Ability Realm in martial arts and the Spirit Severance Realm in immortal cultivation. He could slay Kings with his supernatural abilities, single-handedly eradicate a beast tide, and had taken the Empress as his master…
And what about him?
“Wuwuwu, I’m just trash.”

He knew he would never be able to surpass Zhou Chen in his entire life. He could only watch helplessly as his goddess was ‘bullied’ and ‘played’ by Zhou Chen, unable to do anything about it.

“No, I still have a chance!”

Bai Gui knew that Zhou Chen wouldn’t stay long, and his goddess wouldn’t leave with Zhou Chen!

Once Zhou Chen left, he would go and comfort his goddess properly.

He didn’t mind…

Zhou Chen: Door locked!

…

Half a month later.

Red Dust Heavenly Boat.

Myriad Forms Mountain.

Red Dust Residence.

Jade Spring Tower.

Bai Bing leaned against the railing with her slender, fair arm, her heavy bosom putting an undue burden on the railing.

Her beautiful eyes were glazed over, her cheeks flushed red. Looking at the rolling mountains below, she felt an urge to stay here forever!

She knew that if she chose to stay, Zhou Chen wouldn’t refuse.

To Zhou Chen’s Heavenly Boat, one more person wouldn’t make any difference. It wouldn’t be a burden at all.

And Zhou Chen would have one more free…
But she couldn’t leave.

White Tiger City was where she was born and raised, and it needed her protection.

It wasn’t just Bai Bing.

Bai Qi and Bai Lu felt the same.

Especially Bai Qi.

She was indispensable to White Tiger City.

She was the only King in White Tiger City.

“Perhaps when someone takes over my position in the future, I can relinquish my burden and leave.”

Bai Qi thought to herself,

“But I wonder if I’ll still be able to find this lewd scoundrel then!”

Zhou Chen was unaware of their thoughts.

Nor did he care. At this moment…

He was at a critical juncture in detoxifying Bai Bing, on the verge of success.

His muscles were tense as the vast and boundless divine power within his dantian surged forth like a raging river, pouring into Bai Bing’s poison sac, which had accumulated countless toxins.

Boom!
Like pouring oil onto a raging fire, as Zhou Chen’s divine power surged in like a tidal wave, the poison within Bai Bing’s poison sac was instantly shattered.

Countless toxins gushed out.

“Mmm…”

Bai Bing trembled as the tenacious poison was expelled along with the venom. She instantly felt her entire body lighten.

An unprecedented sense of exhilaration and relief washed over her.

To be free from illness was truly a blessing.

It was so incredibly comfortable.

A feeling of exhilaration she had never experienced before.

Every cell in her body seemed to be rejoicing, leaping for joy.

The White Emperor bloodline hidden deep within her seemed to awaken as well, stimulated by the complete expulsion of the poison and Zhou Chen’s divine power, which contained the power of creation. It was like a slumbering dragon finally stirring.

Boom!
A powerful force from the depths of her bloodline awakened.

The White Emperor bloodline…
Awakened!

“I did it…”

Bai Bing was ecstatic. Bai Lu had already awakened hers yesterday, and she had been incredibly envious.

Fortunately, her efforts had been rewarded.

She had succeeded too!
“Well done, you succeeded!”

Zhou Chen smiled, feeling an indescribable sense of pride.

A healer’s heart.

To be able to free the sick from the torment of illness, to experience ease and joy, to awaken their Great Emperor bloodline, was what brought him the greatest happiness.

His face seemed to glow.

The radiance of a sage, illuminating the world.

“Thank you, Young Master!”

Bai Bing expressed her sincere gratitude.

Even though she had been ‘played’ by Zhou Chen into a blushing mess.

Turned into a puff pastry.

And Zhou Chen even had all sorts of auxiliary divine weapons…

But compared to awakening her White Emperor bloodline, none of that mattered.

Moreover, in her heart…
She seemed to enjoy Zhou Chen treating her this way…
Happy days always passed quickly.

Three days later.

“Are you sure you don’t want to come with me?”

Zhou Chen looked at City Lord Bai Qi, who was embracing him, allowing him to easily grasp her advantages, and asked one last time.

His nimble toes wiggled.

Below…

Bai Bing and Bai Lu were lying on the other side, holding Zhou Chen’s feet and massaging his calves.

But Zhou Chen’s feet were restless.

They loved to explore dark and hidden places.

“White Tiger City can’t do without me right now. I can’t leave!”

Bai Qi shook her head and looked at Zhou Chen with a charming smile. “If I want to come find you in the future, will I still have the chance?”

“Same for us!”

Bai Lu and Bai Bing echoed.

“Of course!”

Zhou Chen kissed Bai Qi’s fair and smooth forehead and smiled.

“The doors to my Heavenly Boat are always open for you. If you miss me, you can come find me anytime!”

“Thank you!”

Bai Qi was touched. She wrapped her arms around Zhou Chen’s neck and gave him a deep, passionate kiss.

Bai Bing and Bai Lu did the same.

However, they could only hold Zhou Chen’s feet and bring them to their lips, a gesture of kissing his feet to express their gratitude.

Zhou Chen was very satisfied.

He wiggled his toes and gently caressed Bai Qi’s smooth back with his large hand, then suddenly said,

“But make sure the doors to your homes are locked tight. If someone else moves in, this young master won’t accept you!”

“You little rascal!”

Bai Qi glared at Zhou Chen playfully.
“Do you think we’re that kind of women?”

Zhou Chen chuckled.

After some more intimate moments…

Zhou Chen looked at their slightly swollen bellies, patted their soft and perky buttocks, and said with a smile,

“Take good care of the divine weapons I gave you as gifts. Don’t let them fall out!”

Bai Qi rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen and hurriedly left the Heavenly Boat with Bai Lu and Bai Bing, looking rather flustered and embarrassed.

Their legs seemed to be trembling…
Watching them leave, Zhou Chen took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, and instructed,
“Red Dust, set course for the Savage Marsh!”

Zhou Chen planned to search for the Puppet Emperor’s treasure first.

He was very interested in the Three Thousand Divine Puppets Diagram.

“Yes, Master!”

Red Dust steered the Heavenly Boat towards the Savage Marsh.

“Having fun, are we?”

Huangfu Yue Yao’s figure suddenly appeared, a playful smile on her lips. However, Zhou Chen sensed a hint of resentment.

“Beautiful Master, I’ve missed you dearly!”

Zhou Chen smiled and lifted his foot, attempting to slip it under Huangfu Yue Yao’s skirt.

Slap!
A slap landed on the back of his foot. Zhou Chen winced and retracted his foot, his big toe twitching with regret that he couldn’t attend his beautiful master’s ‘elementary school.’

Huangfu Yue Yao glared at him fiercely.
“Dare to use your foot on me? Believe it or not, I’ll slap you to death!”

She wasn’t Bai Lu or Bai Bing, who would let Zhou Chen use his foot on them!
What a little rascal!

“Mercy, beautiful Master!”

Zhou Chen sprang to his feet, grabbed his beautiful master’s fair and slender leg, and kissed it.

Her jade-like foot was truly beautiful.

Leg goals.

“You…”

Huangfu Yue Yao was speechless.

Truly, shamelessness was invincible.

Suddenly…

Huangfu Yue Yao trembled.
She raised her hand, about to slap Zhou Chen to death.

But as she raised her hand, it froze in midair.

She felt the poison flaring up.

Her entire body went limp.

Zhou Chen even pried open her wound and forcefully sucked out the venom.

What a…
Good disciple!!

Huangfu Yue Yao was utterly mortified. She wanted to slap Zhou Chen, this ‘filial’ disciple, to death and then kill herself.

But her entire body was weakened by the poison, and she couldn’t muster any strength.

“My heavens…”

Yao Chi Empress’s divine sense, which resided within Zhou Chen, trembled. She couldn’t help but imagine Zhou Chen doing this to her, his Empress Master, in the future.

How would she react then?

Hiss!
Don’t think about it!
Can’t think about it!
The Red Dust Heavenly Boat sped towards the Savage Marsh, constantly traversing space.

…

Savage Marsh.

The sky here was gray and overcast, seeming to press down low. A gloomy wind blew, carrying the stench of decay, sending chills down one’s spine.

“Enter but never leave” was the Savage Marsh’s motto.

Hum!
Space rippled as a silver flying boat emerged from the void, hovering above the outskirts of the Savage Marsh.

“Master, the Red Dust Heavenly Boat has arrived at the Savage Marsh!”

Red Dust’s voice rang out. Zhou Chen looked up and wiped his mouth.

“We’re here already? Truly sweet and delicious!”

He was still savoring the aftertaste.

“Thwack!”

Huangfu Yue Yao raised her hand and smacked Zhou Chen on the head. However, her jade-like hand, which had just washed his hair, ended up covered in water.

“You little rascal! Don’t ever do that again!”

“Beautiful Master, you’re so contradictory!”

Zhou Chen gave her a look of disdain.

Who was it who had just washed his hair?
Who was it who had lifted her hips to let him go further?

Who was it who…
“I’ll beat you to death!”

Huangfu Yue Yao understood the look in Zhou Chen’s eyes and was utterly mortified. Enraged, she lunged at him.

Zhou Chen didn’t back down.

They grappled like wild beasts, without any supernatural abilities or techniques, just pure, primal biting, scratching, and wrestling.

After their playful fight…

Zhou Chen took out the treasure map. It was covered in mysterious patterns.

As an artifact refiner and formation master, Zhou Chen recognized them at a glance. These were special formation patterns, specifically puppet formation patterns used in the creation of puppets.

However, they were more advanced than ordinary puppet formation patterns.

Although Zhou Chen could refine ordinary puppets, he didn’t understand these advanced puppet formation patterns on the treasure map.

“Add points!”

Zhou Chen resorted to his ultimate move.

There was nothing that adding points couldn’t solve.

If there was…

It meant he didn’t have enough points!

He needed to add money…

No, wait…

He needed to add points!
Hum.

As ten million Romance Points were consumed, the once-mysterious puppet formation patterns gradually revealed their true nature to Zhou Chen.

“So that’s how it is!”

These puppet formation patterns were unique, created by the Puppet Emperor after he achieved the Emperor Realm. By comprehending these patterns, one could modify the formations on the map.

Zhou Chen used his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand to modify the formation patterns on the treasure map, like manipulating a Rubik’s Cube.

As the puppet formation patterns were rearranged, the true appearance of the treasure map was revealed. A red heart appeared on the map.

That was the location of the treasure.

Perhaps even the place where the Puppet Emperor had passed away!
“Red Dust, proceed to the target!”

Zhou Chen instructed.

“Yes, Master!”

The Heavenly Boat set off once more, venturing into the Savage Marsh.

The location indicated on the treasure map was in the heart of the Savage Marsh. Zhou Chen looked out from the Heavenly Boat, his gaze sweeping over the vast expanse. Lush aquatic plants covered the marsh, with the occasional solitary tree rising above the water.

A thin, gray mist hung over the marsh, obscuring the view and adding to the air of mystery.

However, the Savage Marsh was nothing to Zhou Chen’s Heavenly Boat.

It traversed the terrain with ease.

In an instant…

The Heavenly Boat arrived at the location specified on the treasure map. Zhou Chen stood on the deck, taking in the scent of decay in the air, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.

The area was empty, with nothing but water plants as far as the eye could see.

Zhou Chen picked up the treasure map and modified the puppet formation patterns on it.

Hum!
A golden light suddenly shot out from the treasure map, like a sharp arrow cleaving through the gray mist above the marsh.

Rumble!
The wind and clouds shifted, the heavens trembled, and waves of radiant light surged. Accompanied by a vast Emperor’s might, the space ahead rippled violently like a tsunami.

Then…

A spatial passage, resembling a ripple in water, gradually formed before Zhou Chen’s eyes. Through the passage, he could faintly see rolling mountains.

It seemed to lead to a secret realm.

“Empress Master, I’m going in!”

Zhou Chen informed Yao Chi Empress as a precaution.

“Go ahead.”

Yao Chi Empress’s divine sense didn’t object. Even if the Puppet Emperor wasn’t dead, after so many years, only a wisp of his will would remain.

Although a wisp of a Great Emperor’s will could still possess earth-shattering power, she was a living Great Emperor and wasn’t afraid.

Even if there were dangers inside, she could protect Zhou Chen.

Moreover, Zhou Chen’s Heavenly Boat was incredibly powerful.

Although it was still in its early stages, it could withstand a few blows from a living Great Emperor, let alone a deceased one!
“Red Dust, go in!”

Zhou Chen’s thoughts moved, and the Red Dust Heavenly Boat plunged straight into the deep, dark spatial passage.

…

Meanwhile…

Deep within a miasma-filled forest on the eastern edge of the Savage Marsh, a figure suddenly looked up, his deep gaze seemingly piercing through space as he saw the secret realm passage.

“This fluctuation… it must be the Puppet Emperor’s legacy emerging!”

“Hahaha, after all these years, this Emperor has finally found it!”
