Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Chu Hao fully activated the Flame Furnace, continuously refining the stellar light into something he could comprehend, circulating in his Sea of Consciousness.

More than two hours later, he hadn't "absorbed" anything new. Obviously, the entire Secret Technique of the Three Phases Technique had been imprinted in his mind. Of course, remembering was one thing, mastering it was another.

After another hour, all the stellar light had disappeared, and Chu Hao "returned" to the original hall, with Luo Qingyan and Xiang Wushuang standing in front of him.

"Hao, I've been good to you, letting you comprehend for so long!" Luo Qingyan said deliberately. It was only four hours, and not just any War Venerate, but even a War God capable of perceiving the Laws could only capture a ray or two of the Light of Laws.

"Did you learn it?" she giggled.

"Of course!" Chu Hao nodded.

Luo Qingyan laughed coquettishly and slapped Chu Hao's shoulder, saying, "You really talk big. Don't tell me you're just a little War Venerate. Even War Gods would need years of study to master the Three Phases Technique."

Chu Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Then why did you ask?"

"Hehe, okay, okay, I'll just give you another chance later," Luo Qingyan said, actually looking a bit guilty.

"There's more?" Chu Hao's eyes lit up. Only he knew that the Three Phases Technique had already been engraved in his mind, and with enough time, he could master it one day.

If Luo Qingyan intended to give him something else to make up for it, he naturally wouldn't decline.

"I'll get you some Spiritual Medicine to improve your Cultivation. Alas, you haven't even reached the level of a War God. If people saw that, it would really embarrass me!" said Luo Qingyan.

"My lord, I am your mount, can you also help me improve my Cultivation?" Xiang Wushuang said with a pleasing face. It was an excellent opportunity, how could he miss it?

After a moment's thought, Luo Qingyan said, "Alright, being my mount, you can't be too shabby."

"Thank you, my lord!" Xiang Wushuang quickly knelt down.

He now recognized his status and adjusted his attitude accordingly. The Witch was obviously the master here— if not completely, then partially. And how lengthy was the history of the Nether Palace?

Immeasurably long!

So Luo Qingyan was undoubtedly indescribably powerful. From her tone, one could tell she didn't even regard War Gods highly.

He would be foolish not to cling tightly to such a powerful figure. Showing submissiveness was nothing when, in front of this master, even War Gods would have to kneel. His own face meant nothing in comparison.

With a wave of her delicate hand, Luo Qingyan sent everyone flying out of the palace complex. She then waved again, and the light screen reappeared, resealing the area.

"It should be... that way!" Luo Qingyan pointed in a direction. Here, without sun, moon, and stars, directions like east, west, north, and south lost their meaning.

"Did you recall some more things?" Chu Hao asked.

"Not much," Luo Qingyan said, then tilted her head and smiled, "Why? Curious about my matters? Fancy me, do you?"

"Pfft!" Chu Hao burst out immediately, coughing continuously, "Don't joke!"

Luo Qingyan was just teasing Chu Hao, but seeing his reaction, she got annoyed and huffed, "What, you despise me now?"

Chu Hao laughed heartily, "I already have someone I like."

"Hmph, you mean to say, I'm not pretty enough to move your heart?" Luo Qingyan persisted, letting her petty jealousy and stubbornness show.

Never argue with a woman—you can't win without reason, and even with reason, you can't outshout her. So it's best to surrender from the start.

Chu Hao chuckled, "You are gorgeous, absolutely breathtaking!"

"Right, men truly aren't good things, always eyeing the dish while eating from the bowl!" Luo Qingyan shook her head repeatedly, then fiercely warned, "I warn you, don't harbor any fantasies about me."

"Okay," Chu Hao instantly complied.

Luo Qingyan was still displeased, hissed her teeth, and smack, slapped Xiang Wushuang on the head, causing the poor War Elephant below to stretch his trunk and wail in pain.

Poor guy.

Under Luo Qingyan's guidance, the group moved quickly, traversing endless prairies and dense forests until they reached a vast Medicine Garden, which, like the Scroll Repository, was enclosed by a light screen, inaccessible to anyone.

"Chu Hao!" Su Wanyue and the others appeared, running over with faces full of joy.

They had been worried for many days, and finally seeing Chu Hao, they all relaxed and were overjoyed.

Yun Cai was especially thrilled, running directly to hug Chu Hao's neck and spinning several times joyously, exclaiming, "I knew you wouldn't die!"

Chu Hao laughed heartily and patted her on the head, saying, "I, of course, would not die."

Yun Cai finally let go of him, and Gu Qingcheng threw herself into his arms, planting a fierce kiss on his face, saying, "You stinky fellow, you had me worried to death!" This made Yun Cai somewhat unhappy, pouting and muttering 'vixen.'

Luo Qingyan couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment; she indeed possessed a beauty that could captivate souls, yet Gu Qingcheng was no less stunning. She glanced at Chu Hao and muttered to herself that this lucky guy really had a way with enchanting women.

And there wasn't just one!

The woman nearby, cold as ice, though her expression was indifferent, had her eyes firmly fixed on Chu Hao, evidently deeply in love.

Tsk tsk tsk, indeed a big Casanova.

"Brother-in-law!" After Gu Qingcheng and Yun Cai stepped back, Gu Fei and Duanmu Changtian finally got a chance to speak with Chu Hao, while Fat Cat jumped onto Chu Hao's shoulder, cautiously observing Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan, whose perception was astonishing, immediately looked toward Fat Cat, tilted her head slightly, and said, "This cat is a bit strange."

"Don't you think about laying a finger on it, it's my friend," Chu Hao quickly said, knowing she was a real witch, and if Fat Cat ended up in her hands, it would definitely suffer terribly.

"Eh, Xiang Wushuang?" A cry of surprise came, as a group from an alien race also walked over, all showing expressions of utter astonishment.

Xiang Wushuang, one of the Seven Emperors of the alien race, had such a status, such identity, and such pride, but now he had actually become a human's mount, what a disgrace!

This was not just a loss of face for Xiang Wushuang alone but for the entire alien race!

The leader of the alien race was a woman, stunningly beautiful, with a pair of wings made of flames occasionally flashing behind her, adding to her brilliance and making her appear as majestic as a female war god.

Feng Piaoling, one of the Seven Emperors of the alien race!

Her face bore indescribable fury, ashamed for Xiang Wushuang, who, as one of the mighty Seven Emperors, had reduced himself to being someone's mount, a total disgrace! In her view, it certainly wasn't because Luo Qingyan's cultivation was outstanding enough to subdue Xiang Wushuang, but rather because Xiang Wushuang was coveting her beauty, that he would willingly stoop to being a mount, which infuriated her even more.

"Xiang Wushuang, stand up right now!" Feng Piaoling scolded angrily, wishing she could slap this disgraceful fool to death.

With his face reddening, Xiang Wushuang felt exceedingly embarrassed in front of acquaintances. But it wasn't his place to decide now; if he dared to transform back into human form, he would definitely be tormented by Luo Qingyan, which would be more painful than losing face.

Anyway, Luo Qingyan's fearsomeness would soon spread across the world, and then people would naturally not mock him but would even envy him for being such a powerful person's mount.

—For example, if the Dragon Crown Prince's ancestor from the King of Stars were to be resurrected and asked him to be a mount, who would despise him? No, they would only envy him for being close to such a powerful figure, which is an honor.

"Hey hey hey, without my permission, who allowed you to speak to my mount?" Luo Qingyan shifted her focus from Fat Cat and looked toward Feng Piaoling.

Feng Piaoling snorted coldly, saying, "I am not like him, you cannot bewitch me!"

Luo Qingyan laughed heartily, clearly very pleased, as the underlying message Feng Piaoling gave unmistakably complimented her beauty, and as a woman, she was naturally happy. She supported her chin, murmuring, "It's been a long time since I've kept a bird, should I keep one?"

"Wha-what!" Feng Piaoling nearly leaped up, boasting blood of the Divine Phoenix, which she took great pride in. Yet Luo Qingyan dared to mock her lineage, calling her a little bird, that was too humiliating!

"Xiang Wushuang!" she roared, pointing her finger, "If you do not give me an explanation, I will not spare you any face!" Her eyes were cold as she stared at Luo Qingyan, her aura murderous.

What could Xiang Wushuang say? He just continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb, given that he was currently in the form of a War Elephant, and others couldn't see his changing expressions.

"Hmph!" Feng Piaoling hummed and with a swift motion, flames surged forth, hurled toward Luo Qingyan and Xiang Wushuang.

"Go, bring her to me." Luo Qingyan kicked Xiang Wushuang, who was instantly sent flying and then transformed into human form, meeting Feng Piaoling's flames head-on.

As a fellow Emperor, Xiang Wushuang dared not let Feng Piaoling's fierce attack bombard him uncontested. He let out a long howl, with Golden Light bursting forth from his body, forming mysterious Meridian Patterns. He threw a punch toward the flames.

The bang of Golden Light scattering the flames flew in all directions.

Xiang Wushuang charged out of the flames, covered in golden characters that flashed imposingly. He was both shocked and delighted; he knew his power was not on par with Feng Piaoling, as among the Seven Emperors, the Dragon Crown Prince was the strongest, followed by Feng Piaoling, and he ranked only fifth.

Yet now, he had countered later, and amidst urgency, he managed to effortlessly neutralize Feng Piaoling's attack—what did that mean? His power had greatly increased!

"Hahahahaha!" He laughed loudly, filled with a sense of triumph.

Surpassing Feng Piaoling, crushing the Dragon Crown Prince, was his long-held dream, and now it seemed it had come true.

"Hmph!" Luo Qingyan snorted displeasedly, immediately causing Xiang Wushuang to shiver. (To be continued. If you like this book, you are welcome to vote on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
