Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 814 Entrust an orphan to someone else?

Chen Wang worked hard to decipher the spatial coordinates left by the Fairy of Lanxi, and it took him a lot of effort to finally decipher them.

He tried to use the bronze gate to contain this spatial coordinate, and soon opened the entrance to a small world, into which Chen Wang's consciousness immersed itself.

However, the space corresponding to these coordinates was empty, with nothing at all. There were no rare treasures or divine weapons that Chen Wang had imagined.

"Huh? How come it's empty?"

Chen Wang frowned slightly.

His divine sense swept across a spot and found only an old scripture. The pages were made of some unknown material and looked as if they had been eroded by many years.

Chen Wang took out the scripture, raising an eyebrow slightly. There were four large characters on the scripture.
The True Scripture of Chaos

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised.

This fairy of Lanxi may have other storage spaces, but this space corresponds to the location of the Crimson Palace, so it is obviously extremely important to her.

As it stands, the other things may have been destroyed or at least are no longer available, but this scripture has been preserved!
Chen Wang opened the Chaos Cave True Scripture and found it to be obscure and difficult to understand. There were many words in it that Chen Wang could not understand, such as "chaos cave," which he couldn't understand even at the beginning. However, he felt that this cultivation method was somewhat mysterious and impressive.

Chen Wang exclaimed in surprise, "Could this be a cultivation technique for those who have successfully completed the Tribulation Transcending stage?"

Chen Wang studied the book for a long time, but he only understood about one or two tenths of it.

He didn't know where Fairy Lanxi got this Chaotic Scripture from, but she kept it and studied it every day.

His faith power was constantly gathering, and his understanding was also continuously improving.

However, Chen Wang still found it somewhat difficult to read the Chaos True Scripture. With his current understanding of the Great Dao, he could not grasp the profound mysteries of cultivating the Chaos True Scripture.

Chen Wang was deeply moved. After studying the scriptures for a while, he decided to temporarily put aside the Chaotic Scripture.

After all, he now needs to break through his own realm and achieve the Great Dao. If he focuses solely on studying this scripture, it is very likely to delay his cultivation progress.

Chen Wang thought to himself, "Breaking through the Tribulation Stage is extremely difficult, and I have no clue how. Perhaps I could consult the Zhou Emperor, since the Great Zhou has a powerful lineage."

After making up his mind, Chen Wang stopped hesitating and set off for the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

...............

Within the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty,

Emperor Zhou appeared no different from usual, but he was already exhausted, his life force like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Upon seeing him, Chen Wang was greatly surprised to sense the Zhou Emperor's faint life force: "Your Majesty, why have you come to this?"

Emperor Zhou sighed, "Activating the ancestral body is not easy; it depletes my life force, which cannot be replenished."

Chen Wang remained silent for a moment after hearing this before saying, "There should be treasures that can prolong life within the Great Zhou Dynasty, right?"

Emperor Zhou sighed, "If it weren't for the longevity medicine, I'd probably be dead by now."

Chen Wangdao said, "I can try using the Dao of Life and Death to heal His Majesty."

Emperor Zhou shook his head: "No need. If you had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, it might have been possible, but right now I've overdrawn my lifespan, which is irreparable."

The Dao of Life and Death also has its limitations; at least for now, the lifespan that Emperor Zhou has consumed cannot be recovered.

Chen Wang said, "I came here precisely to ask His Majesty how to reach the Tribulation Transcending stage."

Emperor Zhou said, "I knew you would ask me about this sooner or later."

Emperor Zhou appeared normal at this moment. Although his lifespan was nearing its end, his normal actions remained unchanged.

The Zhou Emperor said, "Our Great Zhou does indeed have a Tribulation Transcending Stage inheritance, called the Divine Demon Origin."

He flipped his hand and took out a golden book, which contained a mysterious cultivation technique.

The material of this golden book is extraordinary, exuding a rich Daoist aura.

The Zhou Emperor handed the scripture to Chen Wang. Upon receiving it, Chen Wang immediately sensed its extraordinary nature and was deeply moved.

"The Great Zhou is currently in turmoil and on the verge of collapse. I hope a powerful figure can help stabilize the situation. Therefore, I wish to entrust the affairs of state to you, Fellow Daoist Chen. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Chen Wang remained silent for a moment.

After a moment, Chen Wang said, "Now I am also in a precarious situation. The Great Yan Heaven and I are sworn enemies. I have killed several people from the Great Yan Heaven in succession. If I were to protect the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou would probably be the first to be destroyed."

Emperor Zhou gave a bitter smile.
"The conflict between the human world and the Great Flame Heaven is irreconcilable. They want to enslave us, and we will probably be purged regardless of whether we resist or not. Otherwise, how could they be at ease?"

Chen Wang pondered, "In that case, I can secretly help the Great Zhou, but I must not tell anyone else about it."

Emperor Zhou said with concern, "But if this happens, the other forces are very likely to become restless."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't the other forces already have an agreement?"

The Zhou Emperor said with self-deprecation, "There must be someone colluding with the Great Yan Heaven behind this invasion of the Great Zhou. The human world is no longer the same as it used to be."

Chen Wang frowned deeply.

The Zhou Emperor treated him well. It wasn't that he didn't want to get involved, but if his karmic ties with the Zhou Dynasty were too heavy, it could very well bring disaster to the Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Huang said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I am now on my deathbed. Are you still unwilling to grant my request?"

Chen Wang said, "Is Your Majesty not afraid that I will take this opportunity to annex the Great Zhou and strengthen the Yunshan Academy?"

Emperor Zhou said, "If that's the case, it's the fate of the Great Zhou, and there's no way to change it. It's better to befriend you beforehand and take a gamble."

Emperor Zhou spoke very honestly; he did not blindly trust Chen Wang's character, but he simply did not have a better choice at the moment.

With Chen Wang around, at least the Great Zhou can be guaranteed not to be completely wiped out.

Chen Wang smiled upon hearing this. At this moment, he made a move that greatly surprised Emperor Zhou. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, and then took out a lighter.

In this situation, the sudden appearance of smoke and a lighter seems quite incongruous.

However, Emperor Zhou did not find Chen Wang's actions abrupt at all, as if everything Chen Wang did was perfectly natural.

Chen Wang said with a smile, "This is something I brought back from other heavens, it's called smoke. Your Majesty, please have one."

The Zhou Emperor's expression was somewhat peculiar.

They were just discussing important national affairs. It should be noted that although the Great Zhou Dynasty is currently in turmoil, it still possesses a powerful foundation.
Moreover, the sphere of influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty was comparable to that of the human realm where Chen Wang used to live.
For such a momentous event, Chen Wang took out a mortal item he had brought from other heavens, which surprised him somewhat.

However, Emperor Zhou did not refuse. He accepted Chen Wang's cigarette and smoked it just like Chen Wang.

Chen Wangdao said, "I can promise Your Majesty that I will do my best to protect the Great Zhou."

At this moment, Chen Wang's words carried a different meaning; he had already decided to take over this whole affair.

Zhou Huang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Chen."

Chen Wang said with a smile, "A cultivation technique for the Tribulation Transcending stage is by no means a bad deal."

He didn't want to involve too many other reasons in this matter.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou smiled and said, "The cultivation methods recorded in this Divine Demon Ode can directly reach the Tribulation Transcending stage. It contains many profound mysteries. Fellow Daoist, you may take a look."

Chen Wang nodded, smiled, and said, "Your Majesty's generosity right from the start has completely overwhelmed me."

The two men, arms around each other's shoulders, sat on the throne in the palace, smoking and puffing away, looking both incongruous and harmonious. Emperor Zhou suddenly said, "I hope you will take good care of my two daughters."

Chen Wang smiled upon hearing this.
"Now that you've brought this up, it seems I shouldn't address you as a fellow Daoist."

If we're talking about Zhou Huang, he should be considered his father-in-law!
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou laughed and said, "We extraordinary cultivators need not be bound by such worldly etiquette."

He ordered his men to summon Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi.

The sisters Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi now hold a superior position in the Great Zhou Dynasty, far surpassing that of other princes and princesses.

Although Chen Wang didn't visit them often, the Zhou Emperor valued them highly because of this relationship.

The two women arrived at the palace and saw their father, the Emperor, and Chen Wang sitting to the side. Their eyes lit up, but they quickly lowered their heads again.
"Meet my father."

The sisters, Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi, said in unison.

The vast palace was majestic and imposing. At this moment, Emperor Zhou was sitting with Chen Wang, a cigarette between their fingers.

The two of them had made so many important decisions, yet they had only smoked half a cigarette.

Emperor Zhou smiled faintly and said, "No need for formalities, come and greet your Uncle Chen."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi were taken aback for a moment. Then, they stepped forward, bowed gracefully to Chen Wang, and said, "Greetings, Uncle Chen."

Chen Wang coughed from the smoke and couldn't help but say, "Didn't you just say these were just common customs?"

Emperor Zhou laughed and said, "There's no need to be so rigid, but we can't completely disregard the rules either."

Only then did some light return to the eyes of the Zhou Emperor, no longer the walking corpse or dying figure he had been before.

A while ago, he felt completely drained and lifeless, but now he's become energetic and vigorous again.

Moreover, perhaps because he was facing imminent death, Emperor Zhou no longer adhered to his imperial status and appeared much more carefree.

Emperor Zhou said with a smile, "From now on, you two will take care of your Uncle Chen for me."

Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi said softly, "Yes, ma'am."

"…………" Chen Wang's lips twitched involuntarily at this moment.

It seems that Zhou Huang didn't really take advantage of him, since the two of them were equals.

Hearing Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi eagerly calling him "uncle," well... that's not bad.

Chen Wang looked at Zhou Huang and said with a smile, "Brother, you've thought things through very well."

In response to the Emperor's overtures, he addressed the Emperor as "Brother" and stopped referring to him as "Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou's eyes lit up with joy, and he said with a smile, "Brother Chen, please feel free to ask if you need anything. Although Great Zhou is not the top power, it is not the bottom among the eight major powers, and its collection is quite rich."

Chen Wang said, "Sure, I won't stand on ceremony if you need anything."

Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi were completely bewildered by their conversation. When did their father become so close to Chen Wang?

There were no formalities; they seemed genuinely very close.

The two women served tea and water to Chen Wang and Emperor Zhou.

Chen Wang said with a smile, "The matter is settled. I have also obtained a new cultivation technique today. I will head back to Yunshan Academy first. If you need anything, please come and find me."

Emperor Zhou nodded and said, "Alright."

Since Chen Wang had promised to protect the Great Zhou, he would naturally not break his promise easily.

Chen Wang's reputation is not bad.

After Chen Wang and the others left, Emperor Zhou muttered to himself, "My two daughters can maintain a relationship with Fellow Daoist Chen, but... isn't it a bit lacking?"

After all, he was an emperor with many children.

However, after thinking about it, Emperor Zhou realized that the other princesses were quite at odds with Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi, so sending them over would not have any good effect and might even backfire.

Emperor Zhou coughed, having finished his cigarette, but with his skill, he didn't even feel the pain when the cigarette burned his fingers.

He stubbed out the cigarette like Chen Wang had, pinched it between his fingers, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
"We've already given away quite a few resources. Among the magical treasures, the only one that Fellow Daoist Chen seems to like is this Great Zhou Emperor's Seal. Although I've already given away the Divine Demon Ode, it would be best to also send some beauties. I've heard that Fellow Daoist Chen is quite fond of them."

Emperor Zhou frowned.
"There are quite a few outstanding women in the Great Zhou territory, but it will probably be difficult for them to catch Fellow Daoist Chen's eye."

He thought for a moment, his brow furrowed slightly, looking somewhat troubled.

However, he then thought, "Now that I am old and frail, the concubines in the palace will surely become widows in the future. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen likes married women."

…………

Chen Wang was unaware that his reputation had been distorted and that someone had so accurately grasped his personality.

After he brought Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi back to Yunshan Academy, Yu Qianzhi asked, "Uncle Chen, where are we staying?"

She was an extremely gentle woman, with the refined and cultured air of a well-educated person. Her graceful curtsy at this moment was perfectly proper, and there was not a single flaw in her manners.

Chen Wang said, "Don't worry about where you stay yet, come and massage your uncle's legs first."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qianzhi softly said "yes," and then stepped forward and gently squatted down to massage Chen Wang's legs.

Her technique was perfect, and her fingers were supple.

Yu Qingdai, who was standing to the side, bit her lip, and then she and her sister went forward to serve Chen Wang. During this process, there were naturally some provocative actions.

Chen Wang had not seen the two women for a long time, and desire ignited in his heart. Then, sounds that made people blush were heard in the room, which lasted for several hours before stopping.

Chen Wang left the room, radiant with joy. He found a steward from Yunshan Academy and ordered him to arrange accommodations for the two princesses.

Having just obtained the Divine Demon Gift, he wanted to study it thoroughly, so he immediately found a place to go into seclusion.

With his boundless energy, these few hours were merely a simple warm-up.

……

Inside the room, on an expensive large bed, the two sisters lay disheveled.

Recalling the absurd and crazy events of the previous hours, and what the two sisters had done together, both of them still had a blush on their faces and dared not look at each other.

Yu Qingdai was covered in sweat. She lightly raised her arm to support herself on the bed, her body feeling a little weak. She said softly, "Sister, Father has put a lot of thought into sending his disciples to Yunshan Academy, but will Uncle really care about us?"

Yu Qianzhi didn't speak; she was panting, her chest rising and falling.

Seeing that her sister hadn't spoken for a while, Yu Qingdai raised her aching arm and nudged Yu Qianzhi, calling her name a few more times before Yu Qianzhi finally snapped out of her daze.

"Ah? What did you say?"

Yu Qingdai was speechless.

My sister looks like she's really been played to death.

Yu Qingdai said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to say that you got the sheets wet."

Yu Qianzhi let out a soft "Ah," and her entire body visibly flushed red.
