All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 1079 Intelligence Reconciliation
Tao Yu sensed the changes in the Daoist aura around him, maintaining a basic level of vigilance.

However, apart from the slight fluctuation of the bluebird next to it, there was nothing else different.

The two Dao Fruits were still nowhere to be seen, and no divine intervention appeared!
"Your Majesty need not worry. I only sensed it because I was so close to you. Your existence is very special. Although you are in this realm, you are not bound by any constraints. The other shores should not know this yet."

The bluebird's voice was melodious and charming, seemingly also delighted by the appearance of Tao Yu himself.

Tao Yu looked at her, then reached out and lifted her smooth chin with his finger, flicking his thumb against her lips twice before chuckling softly.

"Isn't it a bit of a shame that some of the plans you prepared have to be scrapped?"

Since ancient times, the will of Heaven has been unpredictable. It is impossible for someone to stay by your side without your own calculations.

"Not at all. Your Majesty's talent and ability are unparalleled throughout history. It is my honor to be able to assist Your Majesty."

"Bring your true self to me."

Tao Yu didn't care. He simply waved his sleeves and walked onto the dragon bed, leaning back lazily.

These words caused Qingniao to pause slightly in surprise.

After a slight pause, she nodded.
“That’s true. Given Your Majesty’s current status, it was indeed my fault for being impolite. However, it will take me some time to return from the Void…”

"Heh, if you're not coming today, you don't have to come at all."

Tao Yu said this as if he didn't care at all.

He now understands quite well what kind of filthy thing the Other Shore is. Even after he has completed his breakthrough, he still has a sense of dread about the Other Shore in the real world!

Ordinary beings on the other shore are manageable, and even the ancient ones should be able to handle them with some difficulty. But if it is the most ancient one, then one will probably need to rely on one's own backup plan to deter them, or be in the Nine Netherworlds.

However, Jin Huang is a relatively late-established ordinary being on the other shore, someone I can easily suppress. If handled properly, he can indeed be used as an aid.

"Your Majesty, this is not a bad way to show sincerity. However, the return from the other shore will inevitably affect the attention of other divine wills and will require a longer recovery time. Is it really necessary to rush this?"

When Qingniao said this, her eyes became a little misty, watery, and filled with a hint of grievance.

At this point, the bluebird paused for a moment and said...

"If you feel indignant about this body, there is no need to worry. A new body has already been created for you, and you are unharmed."

Upon hearing this, Tao Yu simply rolled her eyes at her.

"It has nothing to do with that. You've taken advantage of me multiple times, while I've only experienced fleeting illusions. That's too much of a loss, and I need to make up for it now."

Upon hearing Tao Yu's words, Qingniao felt as if she had misheard.

isn't it?
Just because of this?

Although he did play quite elaborate games when serving her, she also noticed his 'frankness'.

Even the Bodhisattva of Joy only regards this kind of thing as a way of spiritual practice. Are you serious about it?

"Just because of that?"

Qingniao frowned slightly, while her mental image of Tao Yu's character began to rapidly reshape itself, before she smiled sweetly.

"it is good……"

……

"Gu Xiaosang?"

Tao Yu looked at the girl in black veil who came to her palace and seemed to be slightly surprised, but she quickly suppressed her emotions.

Although Gu Xiaosang had also attained the Dharmakaya, in front of him, the mere Dharmakaya was no different from being naked.

Unlike this guy, I won't have to remove the black veil from my face to see his face clearly.

"Do you also need the return of the beacon? Gu Xiaosang is still perfectly fine, but aren't you just like the Demon Buddha, missing a piece?"

Tao Yu looked at the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him with great interest and said.

This young woman possessed an exquisitely beautiful face, exuding an air of ethereal elegance. The black veil she wore, barely concealing her figure, added to her mysterious allure.

Upon hearing Tao Yu's words, a charmingly reproachful expression appeared on her face, which was almost identical to Gu Xiaosang's.
"Originally, I wanted to wait a little longer and return only after I was fully prepared, but my master is in a hurry, so I have no choice..."

The mysterious beauty walked towards Tao Yu with cat-like steps, while reaching out to loosen the belt around her waist, causing the black veil to slip down.

"Your true self has returned, but your power still resides in the void. You are truly audacious."

Tao Yu looked at the Golden Emperor in front of him, and his expression also seemed a little strange.

This guy has such a strong sense of adventure!

Given his own status, he was unable to complete the detection before she revealed her face and gave him a 'surprise,' thus proving that the body before him, which possessed status but lacked power, was indeed the Golden Emperor himself!

In order to avoid returning early and causing a lot of trouble, she risked appearing in this way.

Although she possesses the status of the other shore, even fate cannot harm her, but clearly this does not include herself!
To demonstrate sincerity, he was willing to take such risks; Jin Huang's adventurous spirit exceeded his own expectations.

Moreover, as the high and mighty Other Shore, the Other Shore that could unleash a great calamity over a mere dispute over face, the fact that she could address the Golden Emperor as "Master" without any reservation when she herself came to the scene truly gave Tao Yu a new definition of the Golden Emperor.

No wonder she was the first to come into contact with him and had the desire to reach out to the other side of the abyss.

Although the Heavenly Emperor also took the initiative to make contact, he was more concerned with survival than with the Golden Emperor.

As the soft, fragrant body drew closer, and the delicate scent wafted from her nose, Tao Yu watched as the other person's face, so similar to Gu Xiaosang's, bowed down along her chest. Tao Yu felt a strange unease.

He had noticed the ambiguous relationship between Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang, and they often flirted with each other, but now...

"Isn't this more exciting, Master...?"

Jin Huang's indistinct voice made Tao Yu forget her troubles. Never mind, she'd better make up for what she owed him first...

……

"Are you satisfied with the wonderful methods of the Pure Maiden Dao and the Joyful Lineage?"

Beads of sweat seemed to slide down Jin Huang's nose, her voice carrying a faint fragrance of innate spiritual energy, and her charming voice trembled slightly.

As the other shore, it is easy to be compatible with some methods in the next instant, and one can also quickly comprehend the characteristics that suit oneself.

The Golden Emperor, who can be described as having divine will, can obtain relevant magical methods as soon as one desires them.

Indeed, it gave Tao Yu an unprecedented experience, opening up many new and wonderful things.

"Let's call it even then, we owe each other nothing now."

Tao Yu, with a lazy demeanor, kept changing the shape of the objects in her hands.

"In that case, may I ask my master to form an alliance with me, in exchange for my support?"

Jin Huang's charming demeanor truly betrayed no trace of the rumors of her arrogance.

But the more this was the case, the more uneasy Tao Yu felt.

It's just that this guy achieved enlightenment too late, otherwise I really wouldn't have been confident in controlling him.

If we disregard other sensory influences, forming an alliance with the Golden Emperor is not necessarily a bad thing.

Just like the Heavenly Emperor, if there's any potential conflict of interest between myself and the Golden Emperor, it would probably be with Gu Xiaosang.

Over the years, I've had a pleasant time with Meng Qi. In fact, after Meng Qi received the inheritance of the first three seals, he passed on the other two seals to me, except for the Dao Yi seal, which represents the cause of all fruits.

The Heaven-Opening Seal, which he had adapted to, was incorporated into the sword strike that he used to create the world!

Jin Huang's humble and unassuming attitude is perhaps a way of avoiding getting involved, otherwise he would inevitably be at a disadvantage.

"This is really a bit difficult to handle..."

Tao Yu's hands didn't stop, but her voice was somewhat unsteady.

"Master, you only need not interfere. Moreover, I can guarantee that even if I succeed in the end, I will release its true spirit. It will just be a friendly spar to determine the winner."

Jin Huang spoke softly and weakly.

After hesitating for a moment, she sighed again.
"Furthermore, I can tell you a great secret, Master. In fact, all the traces of Lingbao Tianzun after the Heavenly Court War were actually disguised by me. If the Three Pure Ones want to transcend, they must do something simultaneously: reduce and seek emptiness..."

Jin Huang's words made Tao Yu pause in his movements, no longer caring about the tension between his fingers, and he finally understood many things.

"I see……"

Then Tao Yu gave Jin Huang a strange look and said...
"So, you want to help Lingbao Tianzun achieve emptiness through reduction? To reach the other shore in this way? And you also need to repay the karmic debts to the Three Pure Ones, and perhaps you also need to protect Kuangdao's path."

If the Three Pure Ones remain hidden, then the Golden Emperor is actually Meng Qi's biggest backer?!

This is truly going against the natural order...

“That’s right. So no matter what I do on the surface or how I suppress Mad Blade, I will definitely help him achieve his goal at the crucial moment.”

"Given his personality, he might not appreciate it." Tao Yu also sighed. If you can't reach the other shore, you're just a pawn. Meng Qi seems to have gone through all kinds of difficulties, made great efforts, and had many plans, but in fact, it's all under the control of the Golden Emperor!

Perhaps in order to achieve this goal, she was destined to be the first to return to the other side, completing everything under pressure.

Whether he appreciates it or not is none of my concern; I only care about my master's opinion...

Although Jin Huang's voice was delicate, Tao Yu understood in her heart that this was the optimal solution that she had predicted herself, and nothing more!

To achieve her goals, she was truly ruthless. In her eyes, her physical body was something she could take as she pleased, and she even deliberately practiced related magical techniques to please herself.

But this is just one of her methods!

However, as someone from the other side, no one else is worth this investment except herself. In addition, her preferences may be quite unique in the other side, making it relatively easier to act based on her likes and dislikes. That's why she made this choice.

There's not a shred of emotion in him, it's all scheming...

However, in terms of the outcome, this arrangement is not necessarily wrong.

Perhaps Meng Qi, with his personality, might also complain about himself, but at most he would just grumble afterward; he wouldn't actually pull a knife on himself...

"it is good."

Upon hearing Tao Yu's reply, Jin Huang's pretty face lit up with delight, as if she were about to unleash all her skills once more. However, she then seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, and said...

"By the way, does Master have any plans for this Dao Fruit competition? Given the current situation in the outside world, this may be the last time we compete for the Dao Fruit."

"Daoguo?"

Tao Yu paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly.

"I have my own way."

The Dao Fruit of the Realm is bound to this place, which is nothing more than a local bonus. What I want is the Dao Fruit of the Abyss!

"The Three Pure Ones invested some cultivation techniques in me a long time ago, and I don't object if they want to compete for them."

Tao Yu paused here, looked at Jin Huang's charming face, and said regretfully.

"It's a pity you achieved enlightenment too late, otherwise supporting you to compete for it wouldn't be impossible. With your help, I could more easily accomplish my own plans..."

……

shuh~
A streak of light flashed by, and Meng Qi, who had already attained the Dharma Body, entered the Divine Capital.

Logically speaking, Meng Qi had already attained the Dharma Body and become a true terrestrial immortal, so the title "Mad Blade" should have been changed.

However, the Central Dynasty, which now occupies the most central place in the real world, is in charge of Tao Yu. Under his instruction, the titles of "Mad Blade" and "Raging Vajra" have been firmly attached to Meng Qi, leaving him unable to move.

For this reason, Meng Qi challenged Tao Yu, who was ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking, many times, but each time he was beaten until his clothes were torn and his muscles were knotted.

Gao Lan, who had entered the capital as a Dharma Body, and was the first in line to the throne, the Executive Vice Emperor, and in charge of the daily affairs of the dynasty, had already begun to laugh.

"Brother, are you going to challenge our Emperor again?"

"If we can't win, we're giving up."

As the radiance faded, Meng Qi revealed his true form.

Although dressed in a blue robe, Meng Qi, wielding the Overlord's Blade, also possessed an inner domineering and arrogant aura.

He is now one of the world's top masters, a far cry from what he used to be.

Moreover, with the restoration of the world's vital energy and the increasing speed of cultivation, Meng Qi's rapid growth has not yet stopped.

Back when Gao Lan was in his Dharma Body stage, Meng Qi had not yet achieved the Outer Realm stage. However, now his strength has surpassed Gao Lan's.

Even though Gao Lan was in a simple-minded state under Tao Yu's "treatment," he still felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).
"My brother's talent is truly astonishing. Apart from our Emperor, there is really no one who can compare to you, not even Su Wuming, who has legendary phenomena."

"Is Your Majesty free now? I have something I wish to see you about."

Meng Qi cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"His Majesty has recently become infatuated with a new concubine, but she will certainly be available. Let me inform her."

Gao Lan continued rambling on and on.

"No need, come on over, let's have a drink together."

Tao Yu's gentle voice reached their ears. Without any pretense, the two flew directly towards the Imperial Garden, tidying their clothes before landing.

Upon entering the Imperial Garden, one is greeted by the fragrance of flowers, and the surroundings are shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.

One after another, graceful women danced amidst the clouds and mist, while Tao Yu drank wine and admired their dance moves, attended by the Golden Emperor and the Bluebird.

"How is it? This is my newly choreographed piece. Doesn't it look great? I'm planning to find an opportunity to subdue demons and capture all the demonesses of the Su Nu Dao."

Tao Yu gestured for the two to sit down, and palace maids had already prepared tables and wine.

"It's truly a scene of extravagance and debauchery. Rumors are circulating that you are diligent in your duties and care for the people, always busy with official business."

Meng Qi knew that Tao Yu was also from Earth, and after taking his seat, he couldn't help but tease her.

That being said, after Tao Yu took control of the overall situation, suppressed the powerful families, and valued the common people, life in the world did indeed improve considerably.

With the title of number one on the Heavenly Ranking and Gao Lan's talent in handling daily affairs, he indeed managed things very well.

"I'm willing to delegate authority and I'm good at using people, so naturally I have free time. Is this little rascal asking for trouble again?"

Tao Yu's casual remark inexplicably caused Meng Qi's emotions to fluctuate. This guy's words are still so sharp!
He picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. After suppressing the turmoil, Meng Qi wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"I already know what you asked me to find out before. The Investiture of the Gods is indeed in the hands of one of the Six Lords. The less important pawns who have achieved the Outer Realm are all on the list. They can be put on the list with a thought."

"Zhiwei, the little foodie, and Zhao Heng?"

Tao Yu tapped the table with her fingers. Qi Zhengyan was the successor of the Demon Emperor's Claw and was personally monitored by the Demon Lord. If the Demon Lord hadn't controlled the Investiture of the Gods, he certainly wouldn't have been allowed to be listed.

"Yes."

Meng Qi's expression also became somewhat serious.

He has always prioritized loyalty and friendship. Although he has severed his ties with the Six Realms, he still wants to liberate his friends.

However, Meng Qi glanced at the Golden Emperor next to Tao Yu. Although the Golden Emperor's face was covered by a black veil and could not be seen, he felt something was strange about him. It seemed that he was somewhat familiar with him, and he had a strange feeling that this person's strength was probably as extraordinary as that of the Azure Bird.

I don't know where this master magician came from.

However, since she was someone else's concubine, Meng Qi only glanced at her a couple of times before looking away and continuing...

“I have now made a deal with him. I will help him complete three things in return. He will help me extract the true spirits of the three people, but we have no agreement to keep it a secret.”

"You've become cunning too."

Tao Yu smiled and glanced at Meng Qi.

"In order to survive in this situation, this is the only way."

Meng Qi suddenly felt a pang of regret. In the world of Investiture of the Gods, he had met Yang Jian, who had always secretly helped him escape the arrangements of the Demon Buddha.

This is indeed a favor to oneself.

However, his junior brother Zhenhui has always been Yang Jian's "other fish". Although Yang Jian said that Zhenhui is him and he is Zhenhui, and there is no difference between the two, Zhenhui has never shown any resistance.

Even though Meng Qi had escaped from the fish, he still felt a little sad.

"Although I don't know the specifics of what you've been through, the struggle for the Great Dao has always been like this."

Tao Yu also sensed Meng Qi's emotional change. This guy was good in every way, but he was too emotional.

But this may also be a strength of the other party.

Tao Yu put down his wine cup and gave Meng Qi a deep look.
"Perhaps in the future, due to differences in tradition and stance, you and I may become enemies. So you need to get used to some things and let go of them when the time comes."

"Look at what you're saying. You are the current emperor. To be your enemy is to be your enemy of the whole world."

Meng Qi rolled his eyes at Tao Yu, then stopped keeping her in suspense.

"The Investiture of the Gods is in the Investiture of the Gods world I mentioned before, which is also the territory of the Jade Void Palace. However, the one who holds the Investiture of the Gods is an old fellow with a great reputation since ancient times, Lu Ya!"

"Oh? This information is indeed useful to me. The Investiture of the Gods is related to my next step. Thank you for your help..."

Tao Yu's eyes lit up slightly.

In fact, given his current status, he could also forcibly reshape the laws of spacetime in the real world. Except for a very few places, there are not many things that can be hidden from him.

However, he is not a being from the real world after all. The commotion caused by forcibly using the power of the abyss's bottom layer will be enormous. All those on the other side, and even some top-tier creations, will feel the traces of that brute force manipulation.

Jin Huang said that he had entered quite discreetly, so there was no need to reveal his true colors over such a trivial matter.

The news brought by Meng Qi was a timely help...
