Chapter 1733 The Amorous Emperor
When Cuihua and the others saw that this murderous extraterrestrial Dao Lord was all smiles and gentleness upon seeing Qinglian, they were immediately so frightened that they led their people away.

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

Taiqing Daoist stepped forward and said politely, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

Cuihua waved her hand and said, "It is I who should thank the Emperor."

Taiqing Daoist said, "Fellow Daoist, are you also from the Realm of Scenery?"

Cuihua nodded.

“My husband, Li Yanchu, is waiting for the three of you at Lingxu.”

When Taiqing Daoist and his companions saw a Daoist from another realm chasing after the three women of Jing Realm, they immediately stepped forward to stop him, never expecting there to be this connection.

He exclaimed with delight, "Your husband is Li Yanchu!"

Cuihua smiled and said, "That's right, please follow me, you three."

Afterwards, they arrived at Lingxu.

The karmic burden of Lingxu City is immense. Taiqing and his companions had heard of it but had never been there before, as it was far too chaotic and disorderly.

But when they arrived in the city, they found that the city was safe and sound, and there had been no private fights or deaths. The three of them were amazed.

When Taiqing Daoist saw Li Yanchu, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist is actually in Lingxu City now."

Li Yanchu said, "I want to establish a force outside the realm so that I can attract people from the Jing Realm to come here."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Taiqing was greatly surprised: "Young friend, how could you have such thoughts?"

Li Yanchu said, "The extraterrestrials have always wanted to conquer the Great Thousand Universe, so why can't our Great Thousand Universe conquer the extraterrestrials?"

Tongtian Daoren said, "Fellow Daoist, do you wish to promote the integration of Jingjie with the outer realms? If this idea is not handled carefully, my Jingjie will be wiped out."

Li Yanchu said, "Now the Dao patterns of the Jingjie are of a high level, comparable to those of the outer realms. I am confident that the people of the Jingjie will not be assimilated by the people of the outer realms."

The Tongtian Daoist was moved and said, "The Otherworld is the highest level place in the vast universe, yet the Dao patterns of the Realm of Scenery are comparable to it?"

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "With the revival of the Realm of Scenery, the Dao patterns are becoming increasingly perfect, and it may even surpass the Otherworld in the future!"

Tongtian Daoren remained silent upon hearing this.

Li Yanchu said, "What are your plans now? Why don't you stay in Lingxu for the time being and bring more people from the Jingjie here in the future to plan something big?"

The three of them looked at each other,
Master Taiqing said with emotion, "The three of us have been seeking a way to save the world. Now it seems that your approach is superior and has a broader perspective."

Li Yanchu waved his hand and said, "I wouldn't dare."

Taiqing Daoist said, "Thank you for your kindness, young friend. However, the three of us have been traveling in foreign lands for many years and do not wish to settle down here. How about we save the world in our own ways?"

The three of them were resolute in their beliefs and wholeheartedly wanted to save Jingjie.

They admired Li Yanchu's approach, but they didn't want to put all their eggs in one basket.

Li Yanchu understood the unspoken meaning behind the three men's words and said with a smile, "In that case, I will not insist. If any of you three have any difficulties, you can come to Lingxu City to find me."

Master Taiqing cupped his hands and said, "I will be troubling you many times in the future."

Li Yanchu quickly returned the greeting, saying, "We cultivators of the Jing Realm should be of one mind and help each other. How could we possibly be bothering you?"

Master Taiqing smiled, then cupped his hands and said, "Now that we are surrounded by calamities beyond the realm, and we still need to seek a way to save the world, we will not stay any longer. Farewell."

Li Yanchu said, "Now that we have arrived at Lingxu, why not stay and rest for a while before leaving?"

Master Taiqing shook his head: "There are some forbidden zones in the foreign lands, and there are indescribable beings. We want to rescue such beings and create chaos, so we dare not stay any longer."

Li Yanchu asked, "Do you know who is in that forbidden area?"

Taiqing Daoist shook his head: "I don't know. It's just that it was suppressed by a foreign realm, and a disciple of the Great Dao Lord checked the seal. It must be an enemy from outside the realm. It's a good idea to contact everyone we can now."

Li Yanchu remained silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Brother Dao has lofty aspirations. I can only wish you success."

The Taoist Taiqing bowed, and the three of them departed one after another.

Cuihua watched their departing figures and said, "Husband, these three sages seem unwilling to easily submit to you."

Li Yanchu said solemnly, "The three of you went to foreign lands long ago in search of a way to save the world, so naturally you are not willing to place your bets lightly."

Cuihua said, "By the way, as soon as the Azure Lotus was activated, that Dao Lord apologized and left. Is your reputation in the outer realms that fierce?"

Li Yanchu said, "Whether his reputation is bad or not is secondary. The main thing is that I have dealt with this person before. He is very cautious and will not easily take risks. But if given the opportunity, he will still bite without hesitation."

Cuihua's expression changed upon hearing this: "In that case, why not take this opportunity to kill him?"

Li Yanchu shook his head and said, "The martial world is not just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions."

Cuihua tilted her head and said, "I don't understand."

Jin Qixiang smiled and said, "His Majesty means that he wants to establish a firm foothold in foreign lands first and is unwilling to easily start a massacre and give others a handle to use against him."

Li Yanchu nodded and said, "That's right. I've been in the outer realms for many years and have found that the outer realms have extremely strong compatibility. Extraordinary people who ascend from the Great Thousand Universe can also become Saints. However, there is an ironclad rule: they must not bring the true methods back to their home universe, otherwise they will be committing a great taboo."

Jin Qixiang said, "Does Your Majesty intend to seize the throne of the Great Dao Lord?"

Li Yanchu nodded: "Little Jin understands my thoughts very well. That's right. I challenge the Dao Lords and Immortals from beyond the realm in order to accumulate experience, defeat the five Dao Lords, and become the Dao Lord recognized by the outside world. Only in this way will I be more capable of protecting the Jing Realm and preventing it from being invaded by the outside world."

Jin Qixiang said, "Your Majesty's intentions are good, but if someone with ulterior motives finds out, they might think that Your Majesty has betrayed Jingjie."

Li Yanchu said solemnly, "The forces outside the realm are powerful. If there were only five Great Dao Lords, we could fight against them. However, there are still Great Dao Masters above the Great Dao Lords who suppress them. As long as I cannot directly confront the Great Dao Masters, I cannot easily turn against them. I can only compromise temporarily to protect the entire realm."

Upon hearing this, Jin Qixiang, Bai Qiuheng, Yun Qu, and the others all looked solemn and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is far-sighted and has taken on this infamy for the safety of Jingjie. We will follow you to the death."

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "There's no need to be so reserved in the outer realms now. Here, I am not the Heavenly Emperor of the Jing Realm, but merely a seeker of the Dao from the lower realms."

Normally, people dare not overstep their bounds when facing him.

After all, Li Yanchu has too much prestige in the Jing Realm, and is now a monarch who has changed an era.

Jin Qixiang and the others exchanged glances. Yun Qu mustered her courage and said, "Little Taoist, now that you can bend and stretch, you are much harder to deal with than when you only knew how to attack recklessly."

She mustered her courage and shouted, and Li Yanchu smiled slightly: "There's no other way. Faced with such an almost invincible enemy, we can only think of some subtle methods."

Yun Qu smiled sweetly.

A blush rose to Jin Qixiang's face.
"Use the old way of addressing them..."

"Should I address you as 'Master' instead of 'Your Majesty'? But how can I bring myself to say that?"

She didn't seem to be in a secret realm in the clouds, unlike Yunqu and Li Yanchu.

She had lost all her memories at that time and transformed into a little golden crow, which Li Yanchu held and stroked in his arms all day long. Later, she revealed her true form and appeared before Li Yanchu completely naked.
However, Li Yanchu was in a state of enlightenment at the time and did not see this beautiful scenery.

At this moment, Li Yanchu said, "I will unfold several Dao landscapes. If you wish to comprehend the Dao, you may stay." He then went to the depths of the Spirit Ruins.

At this moment, several great Dao landscapes hung in the sky: Chaos, Limitless, Supreme, Supreme One, Void, Primordial Chaos, Martial Dao, Slaughter, and Reincarnation. These nine great Daos were extremely profound and mysterious, and everyone who saw them was unconsciously captivated by them.

Yun Qu sighed, "I originally wanted to go to the outer realms to gain experience, but the outer realms are too dangerous. With such a high level of cultivation, it would be better for you to stay here and focus on your cultivation. You would benefit more from that."

Back in Jingjie, Li Yanchu had already developed some distance from them.
After all, he was a Heavenly Emperor who resided high above the Thirty-Three Heavens. Now that he had come to the outer realms, he was not bound by formalities, which naturally made him seem more approachable.

Soon, Yun Qu was immersed in Li Yanchu's Daoist vision and entered a state of enlightenment.

Jin Qixiang and Bai Qiuheng also entered a state of enlightenment one after another.

Cuihua said with a troubled expression, "They can all glean some insights from your Daoist vision. Am I being too arrogant?"

Li Yanchu sat cross-legged, standing tall in the void. Upon hearing this, he opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips, and smiled slightly at Cuihua, saying, "Your understanding of the Dao of Time far surpasses mine, so it's perfectly normal that you look down on my meager cultivation."

Cuihua rolled her eyes in annoyance and stuck her tongue out at Li Yanchu.
"You're saying that on purpose to make fun of me!"

Li Yanchu sighed, "The Great Dao of Time is extremely mysterious. I haven't even touched the threshold yet. What I said just now was half true."

Cuihua raised her chin, looking quite arrogant, then realized something was wrong and glared at Li Yanchu.
"So, your partner is just laughing at me?"

Li Yanchu laughed and said, "I didn't say that."

Cuihua was indignant and rushed forward to hit Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu quickly said, "I am currently maintaining the Nine Dao Scenes. If you play around with me, you will startle them and they may attack you all at once."

At this moment, Cuihua had already arrived in front of Li Yanchu. Upon hearing this, she suddenly stopped the car, but still said defiantly, "Well, now you're even threatening me!"

Her chest heaved with anger, her high breasts threatening to burst from her clothes.

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "I don't need to be completely focused on maintaining my Dao state. How about we try dual cultivation and see if we can take the opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao of Time in that state?"

Cuihua blushed, spat at him, and said, "That's indecent. Dual cultivation is dual cultivation. What are you talking about, trying to comprehend the Great Dao?"

Li Yanchu laughed heartily. He focused on maintaining the Nine Great Dao Landscapes and then, with Cuihua by the waist, entered the palace.

Cuihua exclaimed in alarm, "You're going to die! There are so many people here!"

Li Yanchu said, "They are all comprehending the Dao. I will go to the palace with you to have in-depth exchanges, so as not to neglect you."

Cuihua was tall, even taller than Li Yanchu, and looked rather shy as she was held in Li Yanchu's arms.

She wrapped her arms around Li Yanchu's neck and bit his ear.

"Wouldn't that mean I'm eating alone? What if my sisters wake up and scold me?"

Li Yanchu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you just keep quiet in the palace?"

Cuihua lightly punched him and whispered, "You're deliberately messing with me."

Li Yanchu laughed heartily and led Cuihua into the palace.

Amidst the intense training, some relaxation is indeed needed.

When the two of them came out of the palace, Cuihua was disheveled, looking like a thief.

Seeing that everyone was still focused on enlightenment, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "They are all diligently cultivating and earnestly comprehending the Dao, while I was fooling around with him in the palace. It was really wrong of me."

However, as Cuihua thought about this, a slight smile appeared on her lips, as if she had secretly gained a benefit.

In the following days, Li Yanchu sometimes immersed himself in cultivation and enlightenment, and sometimes spent time with Cuihua in the palace.

At first, Cuihua didn't dare to make a sound, but later she gradually couldn't suppress it anymore.

Now, deep within the Spirit Ruins, no one else dares to come except these few close relatives.

Cuihua was naturally quite wild, and later she took the initiative, unwilling to remain subservient to others for long...

Before she knew it, some time had passed. Jin Qixiang awoke from her state of enlightenment, having benefited greatly from observing Li Yanchu's Daoist landscape.

But when she opened her eyes, she saw neither Li Yanchu nor Cuihua.

Jin Qixiang had many unanswered questions about cultivation and wanted to go to the palace to seek answers from Li Yanchu.

“If His Majesty insists on using the old title, then I will call him Master.”

"Master, I have a question about cultivation that I don't understand. Please teach me."

Jin Qixiang blushed as she thought of these words.

She walked into the palace, which was not under any restrictions. As she entered, she heard Cuihua's voice, which sounded both painful and satisfied.

Jin Qixiang had cultivated since childhood but had never practiced dual cultivation with anyone, so she didn't understand the mysteries involved. Upon hearing this, she was startled.
Is Cuihua injured?
In this desolate realm, who could possibly harm her?
She strode inside, only to find Cuihua leaning against a pillar in the main hall, with Li Yanchu standing behind her...

Jin Qixiang blushed upon seeing this; how could she not understand what those two were doing?
She quickly retreated, her heart pounding wildly.
"That brat! I was worried about her, thinking she was injured, but I never expected her to be doing this. Oh dear, why didn't they even close the door!"

At this moment, Cuihua, who was engrossed in her own world in the main hall, did not notice Jin Qixiang's movements. Instead, Li Yanchu noticed that someone had entered and waved his hand to place a restriction.

Seeing that he had stopped, Cuihua twisted her waist and said with displeasure, "What's wrong? Move!"

Li Yanchu, supporting Cuihua, said softly, "It should have been Xiao Jin who came in just now."

Cuihua exclaimed, "You didn't set any restrictions?"

Li Yanchu said helplessly, "I thought they wouldn't come in while they were comprehending the Dao, but who knew she would barge directly into the palace."

Cuihua was almost going crazy. Although she had served Li Yanchu together with Fang Qinglan, Yun Qu and others, she and Xiao Jin were best friends. She felt ashamed when she encountered this kind of thing.

However, Cuihua soon lost her voice and could only bite her lip to endure it.

"Please forgive me, I know I was wrong," Cuihua said haltingly.

She had originally wanted to compete with Li Yanchu, but now all she wanted to do was beg for mercy.

Li Yanchu remained silent, burying himself in his arduous cultivation.

Cuihua said softly, "How about I call Xiaojin in to serve you? She's always been fond of you, so she probably won't refuse."

Li Yanchu slapped Cuihua's bottom and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Cuihua could only silently feel the sudden, violent movements behind her, clinging tightly to the pillar.

"When I was drinking with Xiao Jin, she talked about you even when she was drunk. How could she not be in love with you?"

Little Jin didn't know that Cuihua had already sold her.

At this moment, her mind was somewhat restless, and she couldn't enter a state of enlightenment for a long time. She would occasionally look back at the palace, which aroused people's imagination.
