Covering the Sky: Becoming an Emperor Through Sole Cultivation of the Sea of ​​Wheels

Chapter 182 Getting something for nothing

A thunderstorm came and went quickly.

Instead of chasing after Princess Yudie, who was leaving in tears, Mo Wuji prepared to start refining pills after a long absence.

Time flies like water. In the capital of Anping Kingdom, with the joint protection of the Xiao family and the royal family, the grand event of Princess Yudie's martial arts contest to find a husband continued without any disturbance.

On this day, the final winner will be decided!

As Mo Wuji had expected, the Xiao family had been tricked by the royal family.

Xiao Mingyuan was eliminated before the final.

The two final contestants are both young prodigies favored by the Emperor of Anping Kingdom. Regardless of who wins, the purity of the royal family will be guaranteed, thus strengthening the royal family's power.

But Mo Wuji still hadn't shown up by then, which gave Xiao Mingyuan a sense of satisfaction that a double loss was better than a single win.

If I can't have Yu Die, neither can you!

Xiao Mingyuan found out that Princess Yudie had been going to Zilongtai whenever she had time recently. It was obvious who this peerless beauty truly loved.

On the high platform, Princess Yudie, who was forced to watch the battle in person, was heartbroken.

She had looked towards the Purple Dragon Terrace more than once, but all she ever saw was an empty, gloomy sky.

Princess Rain Butterfly was deathly pale. The battle on the arena was incredibly fierce and bloody, yet it couldn't stir even a shred of her attention.

All of this seemed to have nothing to do with her; Princess Rain Butterfly was like an outsider.

On the ancient and simple arena, crafted with countless divine materials, fierce battles rage and heroes gather.

The two young prodigies used every trick in the book to compete for the title of royal consort, their attacks shattering the void and darkening the sky.

Every move was intended to kill the opponent.

Around the arena, figures stood in rows, all exuding an air of otherworldly grace.

The two combatants were renowned geniuses in Anping, and since the duel involved the contest to determine who would win the title of the third most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou, it naturally attracted countless cultivators to watch.

The usually quiet and secluded capital of Anping Kingdom was unusually lively for the first time.

A highly respected living fossil commented: "Li Dingtian, with his pair of purple and green swords, was invincible. His swordsmanship was overwhelming. He once defeated the six infamous demons of Blood Soul Mountain all by himself."

"Huangfu Fei is unparalleled in agility and possesses divine strength capable of supporting mountains and seas. His heavy sword is indestructible and is said to have once sliced ​​thirteen mountains in half with a single strike."

"Both of them are outstanding talents of their time. I hope there will be no unexpected events in today's battle. Losing either of them would be a painful loss for my Anping Kingdom."

Numerous cultivators nodded, clearly agreeing with the living fossil's judgment.

But with immense wealth and stunning beauty within reach, what scruples or reservations did the two young prodigies have left?

Both young prodigies unleashed their full fighting power, putting on a spectacular show on the arena with a constant stream of ingenious moves. This greatly benefited many of the older generation, who cheered them on enthusiastically.

But at the same time, the battle between the two was also extremely fierce. Broken arms and legs were commonplace, and the two on the stage were soon turned into blood gourds that were unrecognizable.

The arena had become a gladiatorial arena, where two people who had staked everything were fighting like ancient savage beasts.

Countless cultivators frowned, secretly alarmed.

In the end, Huangfu Fei sacrificed himself to forcefully block his opponent's purple and green swords with his body, and then cleaved Li Dingtian off the stage with a single sword strike.

The outcome is decided.

Just as Huangfu Fei raised his hands, ready to receive the cheers of the crowd.

Just as the royal protocol officer was sending messengers to report to the palace and preparing to announce the results.

Princess Yudie on the high platform had already closed her eyes, silently shedding tears.

Is my life already predetermined?

But at that moment, a beam of golden light shot straight into the sky, clearing away the clouds in the heavens.

A myriad of rays of light and auspicious colors enveloped the entire capital of Anping Kingdom in a magnificent spectacle.

In the sky, twelve orbs of light were enveloped by naturally formed Dao patterns, radiating thousands of golden rays.

For miles around, everyone witnessed this extraordinary sight, and countless people knew that those orbs of light must be remarkable sacred objects!

But before the greedy cultivators could even take action...

Immediately, everyone saw a palm composed of boundless essence rise into the sky, blotting out the sun, and instantly take away all the orbs of light.

Anping Kingdom's capital, though called the imperial city, is more like a secluded mountain retreat. It has enjoyed peace for countless years, and in the past, there was no hustle and bustle, only tranquility and serenity.

Even during the martial arts contest for marriage that had previously attracted countless cultivators, most remained calm, with very few disturbances.

It has been reported.

But at this moment, this tradition that has been maintained for countless years has been broken.

The entire capital of Anping Kingdom is now in complete chaos!

No one was paying attention to the outcome of the martial arts contest anymore; everyone was discussing the strange phenomenon that had just occurred.

One of the cultivators who had mastered the Heavenly Eye said, "I just used my Heavenly Eye to see through those orbs of light, and without exception, they all contained pills."

"The pill is crystal clear and radiant, with so many fragments of laws overflowing from it. It's a pity I can't get my hands on it to take a look!" This powerful figure pounded his chest in frustration.

Countless people exclaimed in astonishment, "This is so amazing! Could it be the birth of a celestial elixir?"

"Even if such a phenomenon isn't an elixir of immortality, it can certainly be called a divine elixir!"

"According to the judgment of several seniors, even just smelling this divine pill might be enough to help us break through a minor realm."

The cultivators became increasingly envious.

"Judging from the location where the divine elixir was born, isn't that the Purple Dragon Platform?"

"When did this sacred place acquire an owner? How come I didn't know?"

"Shh, keep quiet. This is a top secret of my Anping Kingdom. I'm only telling you this, so please don't tell anyone else."

"Good bro, don't you trust my mouth?"

"What?! It's actually the legendary Forbidden One!"

"So this is such a prodigy! No wonder! Send a message to the patriarch to quickly prepare generous gifts; I wish to pay this peerless talent a visit!"

"Such a good thing is not for you! The National Academy has just issued an edict declaring the area within a hundred miles of Zilongtai a restricted zone. Anyone who approaches without authorization will be punished for treason!"

"It is said that even Grand Tutor Xiao and His Majesty have personally set off for the Purple Dragon Terrace!"

Amidst the commotion, Princess Rain Butterfly was undoubtedly the most excited person on the high platform behind the arena.

The surprise came so suddenly that she felt completely enveloped in happiness.

It must be him! He must have done this for me!

Princess Yudie, like a bird breaking free from its cage, flew towards the Purple Dragon Terrace without regard for anything else.

She now only feels that the sky is blue and the air is fresh.

The grand phenomenon that occurred earlier was naturally caused by Mo Wuji. He used the divine materials he obtained through the dragon marrow trade, along with the gains from suppressing a group of powerful figures, to refine a batch of three-stage golden pills.

As Mo Wuji had predicted, after he made a big fuss, the Emperor of Anping and Grand Tutor Xiao indeed came to him for help.

These two powerful rulers, whose words could decide the fate of countless people, showed no airs in front of Mo Wuji, making him feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.

Time is truly the greatest force in the world.

No matter how powerful you are, how easily you can turn the world upside down; no matter how wealthy you are, how much you possess, how much you enjoy all the luxuries in the world; no matter how talented you are, how many unparalleled achievements you have made; in the face of the torrent of time, all of this will amount to nothing!

Grand Tutor Xiao, whose neck was buried in yellow earth, did not exchange many pleasantries with the Emperor of Anping Kingdom. He quickly made a request, asking Mo Wuji to help him refine a batch of longevity pills using dragon marrow as the main ingredient.

Mo Wuji didn't put on airs and went straight to stating his terms.

All the materials needed for alchemy were provided by Anping Kingdom.

As was customary, Grand Tutor Xiao and the Emperor of Anping Kingdom agreed without hesitation.

Mo Wuji also demanded an extra portion of divine materials for refining the third-stage Golden Elixir, as payment for his efforts.

Grand Tutor Xiao and the Emperor of Anping Kingdom were heartbroken. Every item on the list provided by Mo Wuji was an extremely rare treasure, and even with Anping Kingdom's accumulation over countless years, there was not much left in stock.

But the two of them gritted their teeth and agreed anyway.

The matter was mostly settled, and then there was some more idle chatter.

Seeing that Mo Wuji made no mention of any demands for exemption from liability after failure, clearly indicating his confidence, Grand Tutor Xiao and the Emperor of Anping Kingdom felt even more at ease.

But Princess Yudie, who was secretly eavesdropping outside the palace, was getting increasingly anxious.

The royal guards surrounding the Purple Dragon Terrace naturally couldn't stop Princess Yudie, one of their own.

Why haven't you mentioned that matter yet!

Why haven't you mentioned that matter yet!

Princess Rain Butterfly's heart was in her throat.

Finally, just before Grand Tutor Xiao and the Emperor of Anping Kingdom were about to leave, Mo Wuji casually remarked, "I heard that Princess Yudie is about to be engaged?"

The two old foxes exchanged a subtle glance.

"What does Mr. Ji mean?"

Mo Wuji: "Let's cancel it."

The sound of fingernails digging into flesh came from outside the palace. It was extremely faint, but what level of cultivation did the three people present possess? They could probably hear even the slightest rustling of wind a hundred miles away.

However, all three of them ignored the commotion outside the hall.

The moment Mo Wuji made the suggestion, the Emperor of Anping Kingdom's previously cloudy eyes suddenly lit up with an alarming brightness. Could it be that double happiness was on the horizon?

If he could, the Emperor of Anping Kingdom would be eager to pack all his daughters up and send them to Mo Wuji's bed.

Naturally, he wouldn't be stingy with a Yudie, even though she was his most cherished little darling.

Grand Tutor Xiao had no reason to object, as his family had long been out of the running regarding Princess Yudie's marriage.

Previously, under the instigation of his beloved grandson Xiao Mingyuan, Grand Tutor Xiao had considered luring Ji Wumo into the country and dealing with him slowly. But now, with the consent of Grand Tutor Xiao and the Emperor, the entire Anping Kingdom would naturally have no objections to the annulment of Princess Yudie's engagement.

The dust settles!

Princess Yudie, standing outside the palace, nearly collapsed from exhaustion the moment she heard her father's agreement. She was drenched in sweat, and her curvaceous body slumped against the pillar.

Grand Tutor Xiao and the Emperor of Anping Kingdom left. The two power-hungry individuals tacitly pretended not to notice Princess Yudie hiding behind the pillars.

Firstly, they were indeed pressed for time. The sooner they collected the materials, the sooner they could complete the pill, and the more of the medicinal power of the dragon marrow would be preserved.

Secondly, they also hoped to make the deed into a fait accompli, firmly binding Mo Wuji, this great treasure, to their Anping Kingdom, so that no matter what, the meat would be rotten in the pot.

After seeing off Grand Tutor Xiao and the Emperor of Anping Kingdom, Mo Wuji didn't turn back. "Alright, come out now."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Princess Rain Butterfly hurriedly tidied herself up and appeared from behind the pillar.

She was now exceptionally shy, her pretty face, sculpted like a piece of fine jade, was so red it looked like it was about to bleed, making her incredibly adorable and tempting one to take a big bite out of her.

Princess Yu Die, deeply moved, took the initiative, her eyes brimming with affection and her starry gaze filled with tenderness.

Large swathes of her snow-white skin are exposed, showcasing her perfect proportions and breathtaking curves; she is alluring from every angle.

This stunning beauty is like a burning flame.

If Mo Wuji were to beckon, today's Zilongtai might be engulfed in flames and filled with the sounds of gunfire.

Mo Wuji calmly replied, "It was nothing."

The alchemy project was already part of Mo Wuji's plan; he merely made a slight adjustment and casually mentioned Princess Yudie.

But Princess Yudie was delighted to hear this. "So you really want Father Emperor to cancel the engagement? Otherwise, do you want Mo Wuji to personally participate in that martial arts contest to find a husband?"

Mo Wuji felt that a competition with a group whose highest level was no more than Dragon Transformation, and who couldn't even find a single Eight Forbidden Prodigy, was too beneath him, and that participating would be a waste of time.

Princess Yu Die was already dizzy, and seeing this, Mo Wuji didn't want to continue entangled with this woman.

"Alright, now that your troubles have been resolved, let me reiterate: unless it's absolutely necessary, don't bother me in the future."

"As you should know, I'll be busy with alchemy and cultivation for the foreseeable future." Princess Yudie was so moved she almost melted; she desperately wanted to stay overnight at Purple Dragon Terrace to repay her debt. — Mo Wuji

Great kindness.

But Mo Wuji directly used force to drive away this woman who was like a cat in heat.

Even though Princess Rain Butterfly almost lost all her gorgeous clothes during the struggle, it was all in vain.

A month later, the sky above Zilongtai was once again filled with the spectacular sight of rosy clouds. However, this time there were also auspicious signs related to dragons, such as dragon energy soaring into the sky and ten thousand dragons gathering.

Mo Wuji emerged from seclusion and handed the two Dragon Marrow Divine Pills to the confidant of the Emperor of Anping Kingdom.

"Each of these two pills can extend your life by a hundred years. Take them back and report."

Amidst the Imperial Guard generals' profuse thanks, Princess Yudie, who had been waiting outside the Purple Dragon Terrace, couldn't wait to step forward.

"Brother Ji, you've worked hard. Let me wipe your sweat."

"There's no rush for this."

"Show me a secluded spot around here! I can't wait any longer!"

Princess Yudie's pretty face immediately turned bright red, and wisps of white smoke rose from her head.

Has Brother Ji finally figured it out?

Is Brother Ji's hobby really that peculiar? Why leave the perfectly good Purple Dragon Terrace aside and insist on going to the wilderness?

That's bad enough, but to do it in front of so many people.

She's a girl, after all; it's embarrassing for her.

But when Princess Yudie's feverish mind cooled down a little, she looked up and found that Mo Wuji had disappeared.

"Where did Brother Ji go? I'm still here. How can he manage all this alone? Is there another woman around here?"

Mo Wuji, however, had already flown away in the direction indicated by the royal guards.

The next moment, an endless sea of ​​lightning descended, with countless bolts of electricity filling the sky!

After months of secluded alchemy, Mo Wuji, multitasking, had a chance to reflect and digest the several battles that followed the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. He was now at the point where his efforts were overflowing and he had no choice but to break through.

He hadn't even had a chance to taste the newly made golden elixir.

Mo Wuji suffered almost no loss from the incident of Princess Yudie's engagement. In fact, Anping Kingdom even provided the materials for the first batch of three-turn golden pills, making it a case of getting something for nothing.

On the other side, Princess Yudie and a group of imperial guards gazed at the world-destroying lightning tribulation.

She felt that she had been completely captivated by this man.

I am so lucky to have met such a talented and brilliant man in my life!

Just how strong must Brother Ji's potential and strength be to trigger such a heavenly calamity?

Anping Kingdom has existed for tens of thousands of years, but in the records that have been passed down, there has never been such a prodigy.

Princess Yu Die and the imperial guards couldn't help but ask themselves: This man is really too strong! He is simply unmatched. Is there anyone in the world who can find a match for him?

In Mo Wuji's previous life, the entire society revolved around money.

In this world, everything is determined by strength!
