The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

Yan Ruyu formed a hand seal.

From within the sea of ​​suffering, a sliver of red light flew out, transforming into a pounding, beating heart of a demon emperor.

Once the Sacred Heart emerges, it radiates boundless life essence.

The sound of a heartbeat actually affected the rhythm of everyone's heartbeat.

She said, "The Bitter Sea is the birthplace of vital energy. As long as the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart resides in the Bitter Sea, it can absorb the vital energy of the Bitter Sea and sustain itself."

The Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart transformed into a stream of light and plunged into Su Chen's Sea of ​​Bitterness.

As soon as you enter, you are washed by endless life energy.

This sea of ​​suffering is so vast, endless, and its edge cannot be seen at a glance.

The life essence of the Bitter Sea is of extremely high quality. The crimson divine liquid contains the Dao of immortality, as well as the innate Dao and the powerful essence of the Azure Heaven Overlord Body.

As soon as the Sacred Heart entered the Sea of ​​Bitterness, it shone with a red light, as if it had entered the sacred paradise of Peach Garden.

The red light pierced through Su Chen's sea of ​​suffering and shone outwards.

Yan Ruyu exclaimed in surprise, "The Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart seems very excited. It seems that it highly approves of your Sea of ​​Bitterness."

Su Chen smiled slightly and said, "I hope it can be happy inside."

The Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart was about to absorb the Bitter Sea Divine Liquid and use it for his own purposes.

With just one sip, a massive amount of divine liquid flew up and gradually converged towards the Sacred Heart.

But the next second, a dark jar fell down, hitting the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart squarely.

The massive amounts of divine liquid that had flown up crashed down with a deafening roar.

A drop of blood radiating golden light seeped from the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart.

Blood contains boundless vitality.

It was absorbed by the Devouring Demon Jar and transformed into resources for Su Chen's cultivation.

The Demon Emperor's Holy Heart shone brightly, as if it were trying to escape from the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Unexpectedly, the Devouring Demon Jar unleashed nine chains of divine order, binding it tightly and attempting to drain its life force.

Su Chen said, "Let it go and allow it to absorb some of the Bitter Sea Divine Liquid, but in exchange, we will extract a drop of its Holy Blood every so often as compensation."

The Devouring Demon understood Su Chen's words, so it put away the Order God Chains and allowed the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart to absorb the Bitter Sea Divine Liquid.

However, once you absorb too much, a divine chain of order will lash out fiercely, drawing out a trace of blood as a reward.

Even the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart had to restrain itself and dare not devour recklessly. It was reluctant to leave Su Chen's Sea of ​​Bitterness, as it would never find another Sea of ​​Bitterness with such abundant essence.

Could it be that I'm going back to the bitter sea of ​​Yan Ruyu?

That girl is only at the fifth level of the Dao Palace realm. If she absorbs the Bitter Sea Divine Liquid, she won't need to advance her cultivation level anymore.

Yan Ruyu asked in surprise, "The Holy Heart is inside your body, don't you feel anything is wrong?"

Su Chen said, "Don't worry, my wife, I'm perfectly fine."

A blush rose on Yan Ruyu's fair face as she said, "It's good that you're alright."

Su Chen reached out and took Yan Ruyu's wrist, feeling her warm and soft hand, and said, "My wife and I have become Daoist partners, but we don't know each other very well yet. Why don't we open our hearts and have a heart-to-heart talk?"

Yan Ruyu tried to pull her hand back, but Su Chen held it firmly and wouldn't let go, so she had no choice but to give up.

The two sat down side by side and started talking about their past.

It turns out that although Yan Ruyu was a princess, her nobility was only in terms of bloodline, and she did not have any real power in the demon race.

The lineage of the Azure Emperor has declined, and the demon race is now fragmented into several factions, including the Demon Emperor Palace of the Southern Ridge of the Northern Dipper, the Heavenly Demon Palace of the Western Regions of the Eastern Wilderness, the Peacock King and Crimson Dragon Daoist of the Southern Regions of the Eastern Wilderness, the Golden Flood Dragon King of the Northern Regions of the Eastern Wilderness, and some scattered forces such as the Golden-Winged Roc King and the Fire Crow King.

The ancient royal families' demons, such as those from Wanlong Nest, Blood Phoenix Mountain, Qilin Cave, Divine Silkworm Ridge, the Golden Clan, and the Silver Clan, only recognize their own royal family and do not consider themselves demons.

Now that the Peacock King is in charge of the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness, Yan Ruyu is merely under his protection.

Yan Ruyu sighed, "The Azure Emperor lineage has completely declined. The only remaining loyal members are the demon clan in the back mountain of the Xuan Yuan Sect, but their strongest members are only at the sixth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm."

Su Chen said, "When I saw you in the Azure Emperor's tomb, you were protected by two experts at the Immortal Ascension Realm. How come you only have your subordinates at the sixth stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm now?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes as she asked, "Have you seen me before?"

Su Chen nodded and said, "It was when I saw you in the tomb of the Azure Emperor that I was amazed by your beauty and fell in love at first sight."

Yan Ruyu's face flushed red, even her ears turned red, and she said, "I see. It was Peacock King's subordinates who arranged for me to be their protector. Now they have returned to Peacock King's small world. Peacock King himself is in seclusion breaking through to the Immortal Realm of the Third Stage. He respects me, but only because of my identity as a descendant of the Azure Emperor. He will not allow me to interfere with the power of the demon race."

Su Chen said, "Your strength is indeed lacking now. Don't think about the power of the demon race. The cultivation world only values ​​strength. When you have enough strength, you will have power."

Yan Ruyu nodded and said, "Although what you said is very true, you seem to be a whole realm lower than me, so you are not qualified to say such things."

Su Chen smiled slightly and released his aura.

To Yan Ruyu and Qin Yao's astonishment, he released his aura to the Dao Palace Secret Realm, the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, and finally arrived at the first level of the Immortal Platform.

Yan Ruyu exclaimed in surprise, "The first level of the Immortal Platform Realm? You're actually a cultivator at the first level of the Immortal Platform Realm?"

Su Chen said, "How is it? Becoming my Daoist partner isn't beneath your dignity, is it?"

Yan Ruyu said, "You have really given me a big surprise, but there is something I need to make clear to you. For the time being, I cannot spread the news that you are my Daoist partner."

Su Chen asked, "Why?"

Yan Ruyu said, "The Golden-Winged Roc King's son, the Golden-Winged Little Roc King, has repeatedly come to propose marriage to me, but I have refused, citing my focus on cultivation. The Golden-Winged Little Roc King dares not push me too far, but once your identity is exposed, he will definitely come looking for you. The Golden-Winged Roc King's cultivation is that of a king at the Immortal Level 3, and you are no match for him."

Su Chen said, "I see. Then my wife will have to suffer for a while. I'll catch him later and roast him."

Yan Ruyu chuckled and said, "You're only at the first level of the Immortal Platform realm, while he's a veteran king. How could you possibly defeat him?"

Su Chen said, "My wife probably doesn't know, but I've only been cultivating for less than half a month."

Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she stared intently at Su Chen.

Su Chen did not evade the question.

Yan Ruyu found it unbelievable; how could this be?

Su Chen said, "My wife is currently eager to improve her cultivation and revive the Azure Emperor lineage, so as her husband, I have no choice but to do something about it."

A glint of divine light appeared in his hand and immediately touched Yan Ruyu's brow.

Qin Yao was terrified and was about to raise her longsword to stab Su Chen.

But Yan Ruyu raised her hand to stop him.

Su Chen placed his finger on Yan Ruyu's brow and transmitted eight of the Nine Secrets: "Lin," "Bing," "Zhe," "Jie," "Shu," "Zu," "Qian," and "Xing."

They also transmitted the Dao Jing, Xi Huang Jing, Heng Yu Jing, Tai Huang Jing, and Tai Yin Jing to them.

Yan Ruyu felt the vastness of these secret techniques and scriptures, and couldn't help but tremble, saying, "You actually have...!"

Su Chen placed his finger on her lips, signaling her not to say it.

Yan Ruyu did not flinch, and gently said, "Thank you for your kindness, my husband."

Upon hearing the word "husband," Su Chen smiled slightly and said, "It seems this betrothal gift has won the heart of my wife."

A blush rose on Yan Ruyu's face again.

Qin Yao was astonished. She never expected that her princess would actually acknowledge this man she had only known for less than a day and call him "husband." It was simply unbelievable.

She covered her mouth, not daring to utter a sound.

Su Chen took out the remaining seven quasi-emperor weapons, thirteen saint weapons, and a large number of Dao artifacts and treasures, saying, "Madam, please take these divine weapons and artifacts for now. They can be used as a foundation to enhance your strength."

Yan Ruyu and Qin Yao were shocked again. They had originally planned to have a mutually beneficial relationship and then part ways, but they never expected that Su Chen could actually do that.

Yan Ruyu said, "Husband, this is too precious, I cannot accept it."

Su Chen said, "We are both Daoist partners, and we will support each other from now on. Why should we distinguish between ourselves?"

Yan Ruyu ultimately refused to accept them. She had already obtained immense power and secret techniques; how could she possibly accept so many treasures?

Even if she accepts Su Chen, she can't immediately complete the role change.

She still needs time to adjust.

Su Chen thought to himself, "These things all come from the Demon Emperor's tomb. It's all about getting something for nothing. Using the Azure Emperor's treasures as a betrothal gift to marry the Azure Emperor's descendant, there's no better deal than this."

He thought of Ji Ziyue and said to himself, "I will take my Four Immortal-Slaying Swords and Bodhi Seed as betrothal gifts. If you take my treasures, you will have to marry me."

As for whether the two women would be jealous or even disagree, he didn't consider that much. After all, he still planned to take An Miaoyi, Yaochi Saintess, Huo Lin'er, Yao Xi, Yi Qingwu, Fanyin Saintess, Qingxu Saintess, Huosang Saintess, Baiyu Saintess, Qing'er, Chihuang, Yuechan Goddess, Wanhu Wannu, Bailing Saintess... all these women under his command. If even one or two of them couldn't handle it, that wouldn't do.

He didn't even want to let Qin Yao, who was beside him, go.

at night.

Su Chen had originally hoped that Yan Ruyu would come over for a heart-to-heart talk, but he didn't expect to wait for a long time without seeing her.

However, he was met by someone else.

Qin Yao knocked on the door, her cheeks flushed, and said, "The princess sent me to find you."

Su Chen asked, "Did you need something?"

Qin Yao said, "She asked me... to stay here tonight. The princess cannot lose her virginity, otherwise it would harm her cultivation, so she had no choice but to send me."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow, not expecting Yan Ruyu to send Qin Yao to serve him in bed.

Looking at Qin Yao's pretty face and voluptuous figure, Su Chen couldn't help but swallow.

Qin Yao is very beautiful, that much is undeniable.

Moreover, Qin Yao is a woman deeply in love.

In the original novel, Qin Yao and Ye Fan had a one-night stand, after which Qin Yao became devoted to Ye Fan and fell deeply in love with him.

In order to catch up with Ye Fan in cultivation, he practiced frantically and was too eager to succeed, which led to his cultivation going astray, him going into qi deviation, and his untimely death.

After Ye Fancheng ascended to the Dao, he resurrected her by going back in time and took her to the future.

This is a passionate, humble woman who dedicated her life to love.

Su Chen asked, "Did you do this voluntarily?"

Qin Yao remained silent.

Su Chen reached out and pinched Qin Yao's cheek, then smiled and said, "I know, you can go back now. I don't like to force people, especially such a beautiful woman."

Qin Yao looked at her incredulously and asked, "Really?"

A glint of divine light appeared in Su Chen's hand, which he placed on Qin Yao's brow, transmitting the "Zhe" secret technique, one of the Nine Secrets, to her. He smiled and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to touch you, it's just not now. Now that you've received my secret technique, you'll be mine."

Qin Yao blushed, but she was so engrossed in the profound and mysterious secret technique in her mind that she felt dizzy and disoriented. She even forgot how she got back to Yan Ruyu's room.

The "Zhe" secret technique can instantly heal injuries, regenerate from a drop of blood, and prolong life; it belongs to the category of life-and-death secret arts.

Day two.

"System, draw today's items."

[Item draw in progress today. Successful draw. Please choose one of the following three items.]

【Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold: From the Ancient Phoenix Star of the Starry Sky Road】

【Three Thousand Divine Sources: From the Primordial Ancient Mine of the Northern Wilderness, by the Ancient Emperor Qilin】

[The True Scripture of the Sun: From the Immortal Burial Ground of Wuchao in Central Plains]

"Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold? One of the Nine Immortal Golds. If I obtain it, it will be beneficial for me to refine my natal Dao artifact. My next plan is to refine my natal Dao artifact and break through to the second level of the Immortal Platform. It seems that I should choose Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold."

"The Three Thousand Divine Sources are indeed precious, but they are not what I urgently need."

"The True Scripture of the Sun, a legendary scripture of the Sun Holy Emperor, one of the two great scriptures of humanity. If I could obtain it, it would greatly help me break through to the second level of the Immortal Platform and comprehend multiple laws."

Su Chen had made up his mind.

The system immediately communicated: "System, select the third item, the Sun Scripture."

[The True Scripture of the Sun is being drawn; drawing successful]

Suddenly, a book with crystal-clear pages, radiating a divine glow, appeared before my eyes, like a sun floating in the air.

A scorching solar aura filled the room, permeating the air with solar energy.

"It's actually a scripture inscribed with Immortal Tears Green Gold, covered with Immortal Heaven Sun Dao patterns, just like a Sun Dao Fruit. Truly extraordinary."

The Sun Scripture and the Moon Scripture are known as the two great mother scriptures of the human race and are the source of countless imperial scriptures in later generations.

Furthermore, by cultivating both simultaneously, one yin and one yang, one can reach the pinnacle of the Sendai realm.

However, practicing two scriptures simultaneously can lead to violent power and an unstable foundation in one's cultivation, just like Dongfang Taiyi in the original work, also known as the Human Demon Old Man, who went mad after practicing the incomplete Sun Scripture and Moon Scripture together.

Several prerequisites are required to integrate the two scriptures.

Su Chen slowly pondered the original plot. Dongfang Taiyi failed to cultivate, while Ye Fan succeeded. This was not because Ye Fan was the protagonist of destiny, but because Ye Fan met those prerequisites.

First, both scriptures need to be complete.

Secondly, the physical body, primordial spirit, qi and blood, and Dao foundation must all be able to withstand the impact before the fusion of two extreme forces. Generally speaking, this requires a special physique and simultaneous cultivation of the four great secret techniques of Lin, Zhe, Qian, and Shu among the Nine Secrets.

Third, one must understand the principle of Yin and Yang, which means practicing the Daoist scriptures of the Moral Celestial Venerable or the Undying Heavenly Skill of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Fourthly, the elixir of immortality or holy medicine is used for emergency treatment of injuries.

Only by doing these four things can one be a prerequisite for practicing both sets of scriptures together.

"After reaching the Sendai Realm, I need to comprehend the various Imperial Scriptures and master the endless laws in order to improve my realm more quickly. These scriptures are all ones I need to study. Although they are based on the Undying Heavenly Art, the more Imperial Scriptures I refine, the stronger my realm will become."

His divine sense probed into the Immortal Tears Green Gold Scripture, and instantly imprinted the entire text of the "True Scripture of the Sun" into his mind.

By this point, he had acquired seven scriptures of imperial rank or higher: the "Copper Coffin Scripture," the "Immortal Heavenly Power," the "Taoist Scripture," the "Western Emperor Scripture," the "Supreme Emperor Scripture," the "True Yin Scripture," and the "True Yang Scripture."

The Nine Secrets also include the other eight secrets except for the Dou character secret.

Among the nine great immortal golds, one piece each of Immortal Tear Green Gold and Feathered Azure Gold was collected.

There was a knock on the door, and Qin Yao's voice came in, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Ji family's divine body has come to provoke us, wanting to take more of the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon from the princess."
