I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 674 Countermeasures (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After roughly understanding the situation, Jiang Yi concealed the gray hair at her temples and began to think of a solution.

She slowly stood up from the ground, smoothed out the hem of her clothes, walked straight to the Qin Emperor, sat down next to her, picked up the teapot on her table and poured herself a cup of tea.

These actions made the Qin Emperor raise an eyebrow. "I'm very curious, what are you like when you're scared?"

After drinking the hot tea, the cold sweat gradually subsided, and Jiang Yi's mind became clearer.

"Fear is useless; finding a solution is."

The Qin Emperor chuckled, "You haven't given up yet?"

"If I were to say I'm giving up, wouldn't you think I'm cheating?"

"Aren't you cheating now?"

Jiang Yi put down her teacup. "Your Majesty, let's stop with the veiled insults. At this point, neither I nor anyone else is truly capable of resisting you. But I genuinely don't want to give up and want to fight for a glimmer of hope. I believe the others feel the same way, which is why you're personally watching over us, isn't it?"

“I’m just saying this casually, and you can just listen casually too. I know you must have reached an agreement with the Azure Emperor to share my body in some way, but is the Azure Emperor’s method really reliable? Can you really trust him? Don’t forget, neither you nor he are the real Qin Emperor and Azure Emperor.”

Emperor Qin's pupils trembled slightly. Jiang Yi's words had hit the nail on the head, and were also the sore spot in their relationship.

These beings, who cannot be considered human, are the embodiment of all the evil thoughts of the Nine Emperors. Even if they possess some of the Nine Emperors' cultivation and supernatural powers, as well as all their memories and emotions, their essence is still 'evil thoughts'.

How can someone whose nature is evil keep their promises and uphold morality with their so-called best friend?
Qin Di had always felt something was amiss, and Jiang Yi's words at this moment made her realize it immediately.

Jiang Yi pressed on, "What you need to do probably requires a specific timeframe. Otherwise, if everything were ready, you wouldn't have to wait another three days. It's precisely because this specific timeframe is needed that you can't afford to break ties with the Azure Emperor now and jeopardize the overall situation."

"Moreover, if a fight really breaks out, it's uncertain whose side Emperor Kun will side with for the sake of the bigger picture. It would be best to maintain the best condition, but if that's not possible, there's not much difference between eight and nine people."

The Emperor Qin's expression remained unchanged. "Your plan is too naive."

Jiang Yi chuckled, "Yes, I was naive. I just wanted to say that if you were willing to leave me a wisp of my soul, I would even go to cultivate the ghost path just to be able to go back and see my master and other relatives and friends one more time. If the Azure Emperor really makes any moves at that time, I am willing to help you. This is the only way out that I can think of right now. I believe that with your abilities, you will definitely be able to do it."

After saying that, Jiang Yi stood up briskly, and without waiting for Qin Di's agreement, went to the side to sit cross-legged and adjust her state.

Qin Di rubbed his fingers together, his brows furrowing slightly.

Jiang Yi had no interest in observing whether the Qin Emperor would fall for the trap. She just needed to plant the seeds of suspicion first and then adapt to the situation. She believed that if the Qin Emperor was prepared this time, the outcome on her side would change accordingly.

Jiang Yi carefully examined her entire body. All her belongings had been sent away with the sword-nurturing gourd. Apart from Hong Li, who was still in a combined state with her and resided in her dantian, she had nothing else on her body.

Recalling that final moment when Hong Li sacrificed her divine soul to help her rekindle the Bright Mirror Heart Flame, Jiang Yi felt a pang of sorrow.

If she had any other choice, she would have sent Hongli away as well. This time, she would try to find a way to protect that silly fox, Hongli.

Judging from the last incident, the incense offerings and her Clear Mirror Heart Flame were both effective against the evil spirit of the Qin Emperor, but the amount was insufficient, as the gap in cultivation between her and the Qin Emperor was too great.

If the Qin Emperor and the Qing Emperor can fight each other to a draw in her sea of ​​consciousness before she reveals her trump card, and then she burns ninety percent of the power of the Nine Yang God... Jiang Yi can't guarantee success, but it's worth a try.

There was a saying she hadn't lied to the Qin Emperor: even if she were just a wisp of a soul left to walk the path of ghosts, and could go back to see her master and the others again, she would have no regrets even in death.

Besides herself, she also needed to find a way to inform the others. She had glanced at Bai Shengjie when he self-destructed and had a general understanding of everyone's situation. They had all done their best, but it still wasn't enough; the disparity in strength was too great.

Jiang Yi racked his brains but couldn't come up with a sure thing, since only they themselves knew their true cards.

Furthermore, each of them is currently alone, and the Nine Emperors will not allow them to possess any external possessions.

For now, Jiang Yi can only re-examine the few sentences about 'Great Dream Substitution' in the "Sleeping Immortal Skill" before finding an opportunity to contact others.

The principle behind the Great Dream Substitution Tribulation is not included, probably because it is too complicated to explain, and given the lazy immortal's nature, he would naturally be too lazy to explain it. It is enough to know the usage and taboos.

Because she couldn't understand the principle behind it, Jiang Yi didn't know whether it was a passive or active skill. All she knew was that when she was facing certain death, she dreamt of three days earlier, which consumed a hundred years of her lifespan.

The Great Dream Substitution Technique can only be used nine times in a lifetime. The first time will consume a hundred years of lifespan, the second time two hundred years, the third time three hundred years, and so on.

Nine uses will consume 4,500 years of lifespan. The total lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is 5,000 years. If you are not at the Nascent Soul stage, you really can't afford to use such a high-end skill.

Jiang Yi calculated her current age. Since she was in Kyushu, her lifespan was definitely calculated according to the flow of time in Kyushu. She was about 430 years old this year.

In other words, with the lifespan she has left, she has eight more opportunities to undergo tribulation.

The bad ending is everyone dying; the good ending is victory.

But she wanted a perfect ending, with everyone surviving and winning.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Yi opened her eyes and looked again at the Qin Emperor, who was resting his head on his hand and deep in thought.

The Emperor Qin didn't even open his eyes. "Speak."

"Could I see the others? After all, our death is in three days. We're all from the same sect. Could you give us a few jars of wine so we can say goodbye?"

Qin Di initially wanted to refuse, but she changed her mind before she could finish speaking.

These juniors all appear obedient and resigned on the surface, but in reality, they are all harboring evil intentions. Fang Yi had just told her that Shen Puning had bound her natal demon spirit to her body, making it impossible to separate, and was definitely waiting to rebel when she tried to possess her.

Jiang Yi's desire to meet other people at this moment is definitely not for pure purposes; perhaps she can take this opportunity to further investigate the true nature of these juniors.

Anyway, they're all right under their noses, and the Kun Emperor Palace isn't something they can just escape from.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qin sat up. "Alright, considering your 'kind reminder' to me earlier, I'll do you a favor and prepare some farewell wine. Wait here!"

Emperor Qin vanished on the spot, leaving only Jiang Yi in the vast palace.
