Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 693 Tao Seed
Yuhua Palace.

Originally the palace belonging to the Empress Dowager and Xiao Ling'er, it has become the Empress's cultivation place after they moved to their natal space.

Within the formation, three-colored rays of light swirled. The misty aura flowed like a thin fog.

Two figures could be vaguely seen cultivating in an odd posture.

"Your Majesty, helping him repair the ancient formation is actually not a bad thing."

Only after Empress Xin finished her cultivation for the day with satisfaction did Qin Yu recall Bai Huan's reluctance to leave.

"I understand what you mean."

The Empress sat upright, her hair slightly disheveled, yet it did not diminish her innate nobility and majesty, making her seem like a completely different person from when she was cultivating: "The Great Yan Immortal Kingdom will not come to that point!"

Qin Yu was initially tempted by the imposing figure that seemed to command respect, but upon hearing these words, her expression turned serious.

The reason he did the Empress a favor was because he was worried that one day the Great Yan royal family would face an insurmountable crisis, and at that time, the Bai clan's territory would undoubtedly be the best place to take refuge.

However, it is not hard to see from the Empress's attitude that the pride of the Great Yan royal family will never allow them to take this step.

"I will soon begin my seclusion to prepare for the heavenly tribulation."

The Empress paused, gazing at Qin Yu's complex expression, a strange tenderness flashing in her phoenix eyes: "You don't need to come every day."

"Heavenly tribulation?"

Qin Yu's expression changed slightly.

The Heavenly Tribulation of the Venerables is an insurmountable barrier that stands between all living beings on this continent. Throughout history, countless brilliant beings have perished under this tribulation with deep resentment.

Now that the Great Dao is reviving, it is indeed a rare opportunity for the creatures of this continent, giving those trapped before the insurmountable barrier hope for a breakthrough.

However, there were far too many Half-Saint Realm beings who perished under the Heavenly Tribulation, so many that they were enough to make all the Emperors tremble with fear.

Once you prepare to face the Heavenly Tribulation of a Venerable One, you may die and your cultivation may be extinguished!
"Your Majesty, things haven't come to that point yet."

Qin Yu clenched her fists tightly, her voice grave.

If it weren't for the threat from the Qin Emperor, the Empress wouldn't have needed to be in such a hurry.

"The nascent soul within my body has solidified."

The Empress didn't offer much explanation, only saying something understated.

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes. Her gaze fell on that flat abdomen, and she was about to go up and sense it when she was stopped by a cold gaze.

"Go back."

The Empress gestured calmly.

Watching the departing figure, a flicker of emotion flashed in her usually calm and beautiful eyes.

This guy actually cares about me that much?
If she were an ordinary person, perhaps she would accept this relationship.

However, as the Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty, the responsibilities she bore did not allow her to indulge in personal feelings.

"Om..."

The Empress focused her inner vision on the lotus platform.

The chaotic gas that had been swirling around the lotus platform had almost completely dissipated. The nascent soul on the lotus platform was no longer illusory; only a few wisps of chaotic gas remained around it.

According to Qin Yu's explanation, once the nascent soul is fully solidified, it should be able to "open its eyes," right?
At that time, I will have to face the tribulation.

……

A few months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the emperors of all the immortal kingdoms seemed to feel a strong sense of crisis and unanimously chose to go into seclusion.

With the revival of the Great Dao, the strength of the various emperors with powerful foundations has almost all improved.

It seems that due to the overall increase in the strength of the major immortal kingdoms, the evil creatures that were secretly devouring blood have stopped appearing. However, all the emperors know in their hearts that such a powerful being will definitely want to break free of the seal and will not simply disappear. Perhaps, it is secretly cultivating the next Black Soul Palace.

Deep within the Qin Dynasty imperial palace.

Inside a secret chamber, raging flames illuminated the entire space like a furnace, and the intense heat condensed into crimson patterns in the void, each pattern containing terrifying power capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.

In the center of this sea of ​​fire, a figure could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged in mid-air.

Qin Chu's upper body was bulging with muscles, and his body was covered with mysterious fire patterns. Every inch of his skin flowed with a Daoist charm that resembled magma.

Suddenly, the flames around him abruptly stopped, swirling and dancing like a fire dragon.

"Build the road, one hundred steps!"

Qin Chu suddenly opened his eyes, and three feet of crimson flames shot out from his pupils, instantly absorbing the flames in the entire secret chamber into his body.

"Om..."

Just as Qin Chu was overjoyed, the temperature in the secret chamber suddenly dropped, and the firelight dimmed, as if suppressed by an immense force.

A figure in a black dragon robe appeared before him without him noticing, and the array outside the secret room seemed to have no effect on him.

"His Majesty."

Qin Chu hurriedly knelt down, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably.

"Get up."

The Qin Emperor nodded slightly.

This gentle, jade-like voice struck Qin Chu like a thunderbolt. He looked up in disbelief, only to see a smile on the Qin Emperor's majestic face.

The smile was faint, just a slight upturn at the corners of the mouth, but on this face as cold as ancient ice, it appeared exceptionally breathtaking.

Qin Chu vaguely recalled that even when he broke through to the Half-Saint Realm, he had never seen the Qin Emperor show a smile.

For some reason, beneath that smile, Qin Chu clearly felt that the fire attribute power he had just mastered was cheering and jumping for joy, as if it had seen its true master.

"You have not disappointed me."

The Qin Emperor praised softly and slowly raised his right hand.

A strange streak of blood appeared on that slender, jade-like hand.

"His Majesty?"

Before Qin Chu could respond, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Looking down, he saw Qin Di's palm sinking into his dantian one by one. There was no scene of blood splattering, but the primordial power he had painstakingly cultivated was like swallows returning to their nests, heading towards that palm.

Qin Chu was horrified to discover that he couldn't even move a single finger. What was even more terrifying was that the Dao Foundation within his body, which had just been perfected, seemed to be actively welcoming the Qin Emperor's palm to devour it.

"As expected of the Dao Seed that I have carefully nurtured."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Qin Emperor. As the blood on his arm surged, the Daoist power around him flowed into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.

The firelight inside the palace twisted and turned into countless tiny fire snakes that burrowed into the Qin Emperor's body.

At this moment, Qin Chu's skin gradually lost its luster and became extremely pale. He could clearly sense that the Great Dao staircase within his body was collapsing inch by inch.

Qin Chu's pupils dilated; at this critical moment of life and death, he suddenly understood.

It turns out that the rare and precious materials bestowed by the Qin Emperor were only for this day.

"Don't worry, I will lead you to rule this world."

The Qin Emperor's voice suddenly turned incredibly cold and indifferent.

Qin Chu stared in disbelief at this being revered by countless living beings, feeling utterly unfamiliar with him.
