My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 197 The Dissatisfaction of Chen Xuetian, Xiaoqin, and Other Women
Master Qingjiao was even more startled.

He knew the strength of the White Wolf Hermit. Although he was not as strong as himself, even the Dragon King of Dragon Valley would have to use some methods to suppress him easily. But Zhou Ping had suppressed him with a casual strike. Even if the opponent had used his full strength in that strike, it was still quite amazing!
"The Azure Dragon admires the strength of the Canglan Sect Master. I will convey your words to the Flood Dragon King!"

After saying that, it turned and left without any hesitation. It was worried that if it hesitated even slightly, it would be suppressed by the other party like the White Wolf Hermit and become the gatekeeper of the new Han Sect. Such humiliation was something that a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like itself could not bear.

And this moment.

The White Wolf Hermit roared, but to no avail.

Zhou Ping watched the Qingjiao Shangren leave the defensive line but did not pursue him. To be honest, he did not take the Jiaolong King of Jiaolong Valley seriously at all. In the past, he could only look up to those in the Yuan Shen realm, but now, with his cultivation greatly improved and he had also integrated immortal energy, obtained treasures, and possessed various supernatural abilities, he was no longer afraid of any Yuan Shen realm cultivator.

This move is primarily intended to intimidate, and also to establish the reputation of Canglan Mountain in order to continue its expansion.

The past century of seclusion.

The new Hanzong is doing quite well, and it should continue to expand.

After all, as his strength continues to increase, the national fortune points he consumes also become increasingly enormous. Now, even fusing cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities requires billions.

In particular, continuing to cultivate with the Emperor's Talent consumes more than a million every day. Although he still has more than half of the nearly one trillion national fortune points he obtained from many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the Lotus Pond, he still needs new income after a long period of consumption, otherwise he will be sitting and eating away at his savings.

Currently.

The main growth of national fortune points is actually the expansion of territory and the income from spirit stone mines, but it still can't compare to the top-grade spirit stones obtained from the Nascent Soul Realm.

He asked.

Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare in Huangling Star Stone, and even those at the Nascent Soul Realm accumulate them. The entire Crimson Cloud Mountain Range doesn't even have a single top-grade spirit stone mine.

Return to the main peak of the sect.

He continued to refine and integrate his methods, mainly combining the Eight Gates Sword Formation with Samadhi True Fire, and also familiarizing himself with near-immortal level magic treasures.

As for returning to Earth, Zhou Ping plans to wait several more years to fully adjust his mental state to its best before returning.

Because once he returns, he will have to be prepared to fight against those at the Nascent Soul Realm.

……

The outcome of the conflict between Canglan Mountain and Jiaolong Valley surprised all the forces watching from the sidelines in the Chixia Mountain Range. No one expected that the sect leader of Canglan Mountain would be so powerful. What surprised them even more was that Jiaolong Valley did not follow up. The old Jiaolong King did not respond to Canglan Mountain's provocation at all. On the contrary, the demon cultivators under Jiaolong Valley no longer dared to be as arrogant as before.

such a situation.

This immediately gave these forces a sense of something. They knew that the Flood Dragon King was either in seclusion or waiting for some opportunity. In any case, in the short term, only Canglan Mountain could rival Flood Dragon Valley.

As a result, many forces that had been observing the situation flocked to Canglan Mountain to pay their respects.

Many weaker forces also chose to join Canglan Mountain, becoming its subordinate forces, paying a portion of their offerings each year in exchange for its protection.

Jiaolong Valley.

Deep inside the enormous cave.

Master Qingjiao stood before the deep green pool and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Dragon King."

moment.

A gigantic dragon's head emerged from the deep pool, its breath close to that of the Azure Dragon Immortal, its voice deep and thunderous, "What is it?"

The Azure Dragon Master said, "Reporting to the Dragon King, I have followed your instructions and restrained the demon cultivators under my command. However, as a result, many forces in the Crimson Cloud Mountain Range have sided with the Azure Lan Mountain!"

The Dragon King snorted, "So what? I told you long ago that the most important thing is to focus on cultivation and become a Nascent Soul cultivator. As for that female cultivator with the Ice Phoenix Physique, she is insignificant. It is far better to explore the potential of your own bloodline. As for external things, they are all just fleeting clouds to us demons!"

Qingjiao Shangren was unwilling, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, the Dragon King is right."

"Alright, there's no need to compete with human cultivators. Their lifespans are shorter than ours. No matter how talented they are, they still have to face the pressure of lifespan. How strong are Crimson Bright Mountain and Demon Lake? When they were still around, they suppressed our Flood Dragon Valley. But now? Heh, if it weren't for the pressure of lifespan, why would those two old guys have bothered to wade into the muddy waters of the Lotus Pond opportunity? Now they've lost their lives in vain!"

"So our advantage as demon cultivators is our long lifespan. There's a saying among humans that's very true: time is merciless. Under the passage of time, even the most outstanding talent and potential are useless. Do you understand?"

"The Dragon King spoke slowly."

Master Qingjiao suddenly realized, "I understand!"

The Dragon King quickly retreated back into the deep pool.

As Qingjiao Shangren left the cave, he looked at the sky and sighed helplessly. He wanted to obtain the Ice Phoenix Body, but without the appearance of the Flood Dragon King, there was nothing he could do. As for what the other party said about using lifespan to wear down those geniuses, he agreed with that point. But the problem was that while it was true that the demon race had a long lifespan, the bloodline shackles were more ruthless than the passage of time!

……

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Canglan Mountain is even more lively now. Light streaks across the sky from time to time, and there are far more independent cultivators on the ground than before. In particular, the markets within the jurisdiction of Canglan Mountain are springing up like mushrooms after rain, and their prosperity is comparable to that of the capital cities of those mortal kingdoms.

This phenomenon is caused by the rules of Canglan Mountain.

Here, you don't have to worry about being robbed or having your treasures stolen.

Although even the strictest rules cannot prevent such things, the Canglan Mountains are very safe compared to other areas. If any robbery or plundering occurs, two patrol teams will immediately search for the perpetrators.

Furthermore, since Jiaolong Valley dared not provoke Canglan Mountain, the area became increasingly prosperous and bustling, attracting many cultivators from other regions.

If it weren't for resource constraints, most of the independent cultivators in the Crimson Cloud Mountain Range would probably settle down again.

Main peak.

peak.

Inside the hot spring.

The wicked Hu Yudie, completely naked, was soaking in the spring water. Her skin was rosy, like the seawater after the tide had just receded, and still had a crystal-clear and alluring color. Having just experienced several intense exchanges, she closed her eyes slightly and breathed with her red lips slightly parted.

And on its smooth back, the faint phoenix silhouette is revealed.

The surface of the spring water also emitted a pungent smell, but it was quickly dispelled by the refreshing fragrance of the hot spring itself.

moment.

Slowly opening her bright eyes, Hu Yudie looked at the strong and muscular body in front of her, a hint of shyness in her eyes. "Sect Master is too amazing. It took Yudie a long time to recover. I will clean you up for you now."

As he spoke, he submerged himself completely in the hot spring, just like he had done before. Zhou Ping, meanwhile, was thoroughly enjoying himself.

Hu Yudie's Ice Phoenix Body is indeed quite impressive. Although the opponent is only at the Golden Core level, once the Phoenix Bloodline is triggered, his physique will be enhanced in a short period of time, allowing him to unleash his full power freely.

Even Jiangxia couldn't feel this way.

Apart from that.

While communicating with Hu Yudie, the absorption of immortal energy within my body was much more enjoyable than before.

pity.

The transition from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Primordial Spirit Realm is a transformation and sublimation of divine consciousness, which has little to do with the magical energy within the body. Although he will not encounter a bottleneck, the improvement in his divine consciousness is minimal. Otherwise, relying on immortal energy, he could continue to rapidly replace himself.

Not a moment.

Hu Yudie's devastatingly beautiful face reappeared from the spring. She pursed her red lips, her cheeks flushed, as alluring as a ripe peach. Ever since her body was broken and they had intimate contact, she had vaguely felt her cultivation and magical power rapidly increasing, faster than ever before. So, even though she had initially resisted such things, she increasingly enjoyed being with Zhou Ping. Moreover, doing those things gave her an unprecedented sense of liberation, both physically and mentally.

"You'll stay here on the mountaintop for the time being!"

Zhou Ping said casually.

He was quite satisfied with Hu Yudie's service. Such a stunningly beautiful woman was willing to serve him without reservation, which was truly delightful.

Hu Yudie was overjoyed. She knew very well that only the sect leader's true wife was qualified to live on the mountaintop, which meant that her status in the sect leader's heart was rising.

Several days passed.

The northern region of the Chixia Mountains.

Chen Xue, Tian Xiaoqin, He Jing, Su Qier, Zhu Xiaoyue and other girls traveled together. However, although they were traveling, they could still receive news from the Canglan Mountain Sect. When they learned that Hu Yudie was actually allowed to live on the mountaintop, the girls felt a little uneasy.

"That woman surnamed Hu is obviously a vixen. She was born with a face that could bring ruin to a country. Husband, don't let her bewitch you!"

Chen Xue gritted her teeth and said.

She and the other women disliked Hu Yudie. As women, they would instinctively be wary of such a face, but now...

Tian Xiaoqin sighed, "There's nothing we can do. After all, my husband is a man, and he always wants to try new things. The woman surnamed Hu has a special constitution, and her looks and figure surpass ours, so it's normal for her to be favored by my husband!"

He Jing said, "Hmph, if you ask me, the worst one is that Xue Di'er. She gave Hu Yudie to Sect Leader Zhou, and she will definitely give away more women in the future."

Su Qi'er remained silent.

Zhu Xiaoyue was also a concubine, and she knew men's instinct to try new things. That was why she was taken into her entourage. Hearing this, her expression changed. "Sisters, we can't stop this kind of thing. My husband is now the number one cultivator in the Crimson Cloud Mountain Range. Even the Flood Dragon Valley avoids him. I don't know how many female cultivators are thinking of offering themselves to him. So I think it's better for us to deliver it ourselves than to let Xue Dier deliver it!"

Chen Xue's eyes lit up. "You mean, we should personally find a beautiful female cultivator and give her to our husband?"

"Correct."

“If we choose them ourselves, they will still be under our control. At the very least, they will be on our side. As for Xue Di’er, she is already highly valued by her husband, and her intentions have long been obvious. She has always wanted to get into his bed!”

Tian Xiaoqin frowned and said, "But there are very few women with such stunning beauty. Our husband has very high standards, and they won't easily catch his eye!"

He Jing and Su Qi'er both nodded. They had been with Zhou Ping before, but they hadn't slept together yet.

Chen Xue said, "Let's take it slow. Anyway, we're traveling around, and we can look for suitable candidates along the way. I don't believe that Hu Yudie is the only beautiful female cultivator in the world!"

"And you need to understand that right now, there are only a few of us women around my husband, but in the future, there will probably be more and more. Cultivators can live for hundreds or even thousands of years. Even the best relationships will fade with time. Haven't all the emperors of our Earth's dynasties been like that? Although my husband is loyal and righteous, he is a cultivator with a long lifespan. Will he still like us as much as he does now, even a thousand or ten thousand years from now?"

Tian Xiaoqin remained silent; she knew Chen Xue was telling the truth.

Even the best health and the most perfect, newest apartment layout can become tiresome.

Fortunately, they are all cultivators who frequently engage in spiritual practice. Even if they don't see each other for several days or years, they can maintain a certain level of freshness, and even find that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Otherwise, by now, her husband would probably have grown tired of them long ago.

……

Zhou Ping was unaware that his momentary impulse to have Hu Yudie stay on the mountaintop to cultivate would arouse many speculations and distractions from Chen Xuetian and Xiaoqin. After enjoying Hu Yudie's service, he returned to his quiet cave.

these three years.

His main focus was on integrating his various cultivation methods and improving his techniques.

And relying on the nation's destiny.

He finally mastered his magical treasures, supernatural powers, and spells, and divided them into three major methods.

One method is the conventional approach, which mainly uses magical artifacts to form an Eight Gates Sword Formation, which includes eight gates of sword fire and eight gates of true fire.

Secondly, it is entirely based on flames. In addition to the Samadhi True Fire, it also incorporates and enhances another divine power, Immortal Fire Lotus. This divine power is to condense immortal fire into a lotus flower. Although it is not as explosive as the Samadhi True Fire, it is a combination of defense, attack, and illusion. Once it is used, it can protect the user and also affect the surrounding area, making its overall power extremely strong.

The last method is the use of celestial energy and the Eight Treasures Seven-Colored Fan.

Of course.

Besides these three methods, there are many other skills and techniques such as puppetry, talismans, and insect control, which are quite diverse.

"It's time to prepare to return to Earth. A hundred years has passed; who knows what the situation is like on Earth!"

This spans a century.

Xiao Ding took Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin back several times, mainly to deal with matters in South Africa and New Han. However, Captain Wu, Xue Ji, and other special agents were mostly transferred to Canglan Mountain in the Chixia Mountains, so they stopped paying attention to New Han after that.

A century is almost three generations.

Think of this.

He left the quiet room and sent messages to Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin, telling them to hurry back. Then he summoned Xue Dier, Shan Yan Sanren, and other elders and deacons.

This time, it will return to Earth.

As Senior Phoenix Fairy said, they had to enter the ancient ruins, otherwise some important treasures inside might be taken away by the Star River Sect. Therefore, he was unsure how long it would take.
