Before his death, the Jade Emperor sought not the peace of the Nine Immortal Realm, nor its comfort or benefits, but rather for Wei Chen to treat his woman well...
Was that Queen Mother truly so captivating?
Wei Chen was filled with curiosity about the Queen Mother, whom he had never met.
A woman who could receive the long-term affection of the ruler of the Nine Immortal Realm, and such unique affection at that, was indeed rare. For someone of the Jade Emperor's stature, possessing everything one could desire, being devoted to a single woman was extraordinary.
In this regard, the Jade Emperor was truly a good man. In a world where strength dictated everything, maintaining a monogamous relationship was almost divine. Wei Chen admitted that he could not compare to the Jade Emperor in this aspect. Just for this reason alone, he felt some admiration for him.
"I will."
Even though the Jade Emperor had already taken his last breath and could no longer hear Wei Chen's transmission, Wei Chen still uttered those words.
It was a promise to the Jade Emperor and also a commitment to himself.
An era of the Immortal Emperor had completely fallen.
The Jade Emperor Palace, which had inherited countless generations, had now become ruins.
Deep within Wei Chen's heart arose an inexplicable sense of guilt. No matter how one looked at it, bringing an army to the Nine Immortal Realm was purely for his own selfish interests. Although he hadn't harmed many people, there would always be a sense of guilt. Wherever the army passed, buildings were reduced to rubble, all just to allow Yan Qiqi to gather the soul of the Nine Immortal Realm. Ultimately, it was still for his own strength and growth.
For some reason, it seemed that during such moments, Wei Chen would feel a tinge of sadness. Even now, he truly did not understand what right and wrong meant. Perhaps there was no such thing as right or wrong; one could only strive to minimize harm within their capabilities.
With the Xuanyuan Sword in hand, Wei Chen had already accomplished half of his purpose in coming to the Nine Immortal Realm. The next step was to venture into the territory of the Western Buddha.
Before that, Wei Chen had one more thing to do.
The Dark Mage had returned to Shenzhou to recuperate. He wanted Wei Chen to obtain the Xuanyuan Sword, maximizing his gains. The Black Magic Star Technique had reached the ninth level, and the rewards were substantial. If he were to cultivate on his own, it might take him thousands or even tens of thousands of years. In his duel with the Jade Emperor, he had bled and suffered injuries, unleashing his greatest potential. The Stellar Technique had advanced two levels in succession, reaching its peak. Perhaps, the Dark Mage's gains were the most significant. The Dark Mage pursued what seemed almost impossible to Wei Chen: Ascend to Godhood. The struggle for power was what he loved most.
However, the Dark Mage had already begun to sense something during this battle.
Ascend to Godhood could not be achieved through solitary cultivation; it could only be comprehended through life-and-death struggles. The Dark Mage had gained a lot, and despite his injuries, he felt satisfied. Although Wei Chen could heal the Dark Mage's wounds in an instant using Divine Power, the Dark Mage refused. According to his philosophy, inspiration must be sought in pain...
Wei Chen could only acquiesce.
Under Wei Chen's orders, the Queen Mother was brought to the Divine Vessel.
Upon seeing her, Wei Chen understood why someone of the Jade Emperor's caliber could remain devoted to a woman for so long.
The Queen Mother truly had that qualification.
In terms of beauty, Wei Chen thought the Queen Mother was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. In terms of figure, her physique was also the most alluring. Moreover, her demeanor and expressions were incredibly captivating.
Wei Chen prided himself on having a strong resistance to women, yet when he saw the Queen Mother, his heart couldn't help but flutter.
What should he do with such a beauty?
Wei Chen looked at the Queen Mother, caught in a dilemma.
The Jade Emperor's dying words were to treat the Queen Mother well. The phrase "treat well" left Wei Chen feeling conflicted.
What does it mean to be treated well?
Wei Chen looked at the Queen Mother and said lightly, "You are the Queen Mother, aren't you?"
"I have seen the esteemed one."
The Queen Mother bowed gracefully, her expression revealing little. The Jade Emperor was dead, and as his consort, she was heartbroken, but she would not show her sorrow in front of the enemy. Yet, Wei Chen could clearly see the sadness in her eyes.
The Queen Mother understood her fate; with the Jade Emperor gone, her own strength was merely at the thirty levels of a warrior. She was not someone who could stand on her own.
She had contemplated suicide, but then reconsidered—if she took her own life, wouldn’t that eliminate any chance for revenge?
Thus, she ultimately chose to preserve herself first and seek an opportunity to assassinate the mastermind behind the demonic realm later. She knew that her beauty was her greatest weapon; any man who saw her would be moved.
Deep down, she harbored immense hatred for Wei Chen, yet his ability to shatter the Jade Emperor's myriad sword energies with a mere wave of his hand filled her with despair. How could she possibly take revenge on someone like him?
But as long as she lived, there was hope; once dead, all hope would vanish.
The Queen Mother had a rough idea of what awaited her—the fate of a beautiful captive rarely ended well.
Wei Chen scrutinized the Queen Mother for a moment before saying, "Before he died, the Jade Emperor asked me to treat you well. But I do not know what it means to treat you well. The path ahead is yours to choose."
"What?" The Queen Mother was taken aback. Choose for herself? Was it possible for her to leave?
Wei Chen continued, "I offer you three options. The first option is to walk away on your own; go wherever you wish. But with your beauty, trouble will surely follow you wherever you go. The second option is to return with me to the demonic realm; there I can ensure your safety. The third option is to remain in the Nine Immortal Realm; I will send people to protect you and prevent any harm from coming your way."
Upon hearing this, Queen Mother was once again taken aback; Wei Chen's response was completely unexpected.
"My lord, are you... letting me go?" Queen Mother asked, a hint of disbelief in her voice.
Wei Chen replied calmly, "You can do as you wish. I promised the Jade Emperor that I would treat you well, and I will ensure that no harm comes to you."
Queen Mother fell silent.
Being able to leave was undoubtedly the best outcome.
But wouldn’t that mean she couldn't take her revenge?
After pondering for a moment, Queen Mother said, "My lord, I will go with you to the Demon Realm."
In her mind, going to the Demon Realm meant that with her beauty, this Demon Lord before her would not overlook her presence.
As long as there was a chance to get close, there would be an opportunity for revenge. She understood deeply that during moments of intimacy, a man's reaction time was at its weakest; seizing such moments could yield hope.
Wei Chen saw through Queen Mother's thoughts and smiled lightly. "Very well, you can stay on the Warship for now. I'll take you back."
He instructed his men to keep watch over Queen Mother before departing himself.
"Uncle Muen, once we return to the Demon Realm, place the Jade Emperor's woman in a separate residence. Ensure she is protected discreetly and that no harm comes to her. The Jade Emperor's only wish before he died was for us to treat Queen Mother well. Since we have taken his kingdom, it is only right that we fulfill his last wish."
Wei Chen arranged for Muen to handle the subsequent matters, sealing Queen Mother's fate in the process.
She was still thinking about getting close to Wei Chen to find an opportunity for revenge, which was simply too real.
Wei Chen was not particularly interested in beauty.
...
The Demon Realm Army had nearly turned the Nine Immortal Realm into ruins, with most buildings flattened. After reorganizing the Army, Wei Chen gathered the high-ranking officials of the Nine Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Emperors and Sect Leaders looked at Wei Chen with expressions of utmost respect, showing no signs of disrespect.
No matter where one was or what race they belonged to, there was always a reverence for the strong.
Wei Chen's strength exceeded their imagination.
When Wei Chen appeared, the high-ranking officials of the Nine Immortal Realm, who had gathered to negotiate strategies, immediately fell silent and cast respectful glances toward him.
Wei Chen was pleased with this effect. He nodded to the thousands of people below, flying high above them and looking down as he said, "From now on, the Demon Realm and the Nine Immortal Realm will be one family. From this moment on, whether you are from the Demon Realm or the Nine Immortal Realm, you can freely choose to cultivate demonic energy or spiritual energy. Different physiques require different cultivation methods. The craftsmanship of warships from the Demon Realm will become popular in the Nine Immortal Realm, while the formation systems of the Nine Immortal Realm will also spread in the Demon Realm. Both sides will share their strengths and promote each other; this is a great joy for both realms."
Wei Chen spoke calmly, but those below were deep in thought.
The exchange of strengths was indeed a good idea. In the Nine Immortal Realm, there were often individuals who were not suited for cultivating spiritual energy but were instead more compatible with demonic energy. If it could truly be like what Wei Chen proposed, both sides would benefit.
However, the question remained: what would be the status of the Nine Immortal Realm moving forward?
No one dared to voice this question directly, but it was a concern shared by all.
Wei Chen glanced around and said lightly, "You are all very concerned about the status of the Nine Immortal Realm, right? I can tell you that the Nine Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm hold equal status. We people from the Demon Realm will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Nine Immortal Realm. The new Immortal Emperor of the Nine Immortal Realm will be chosen among you Immortal Emperors through fair competition. Whoever has the strongest power will become the Immortal Emperor."
At this point, the Immortal Emperors present became excited. The Nine Immortal Realm could still maintain its independent status? They still had a chance to compete for the title of Immortal Emperor?
Everyone was overjoyed. They had thought it was hopeless, that the Nine Immortal Realm would become a subordinate force of the Demon Realm. Now it seemed that the situation was much better than they had imagined. With the strength of the Demon Realm, even if they wanted to swallow up the entire Nine Immortal Realm and make it serve them, what could they do? They never expected that this Demon Realm overlord would speak so kindly.
Next, Wei Chen explained his system in the Demon Realm, and everyone agreed. Wei Chen's suggestion was merely to encourage the people of the Nine Immortal Realm to work harder; who would refuse?
Wei Chen instructed Ji Dingxuan to leave behind a hundred Martial Emperors from the demon race to supervise those Immortal Emperors in fairly competing to select a new Immortal Emperor. He himself led his army westward, flying out of the Nine Immortal Realm continent and into the vast sea.
The people of the Nine Immortal Realm all knew he was going to attack Western Buddha's territory, but there remained a mystery that no one could figure out: why did the Demon Realm Army inexplicably overturn houses without taking anything or gaining any benefits?
This mystery, perhaps they would never know.
The sea area of the Nine Immortal Realm was not as vast as that of the Demon Realm. It spanned only two thousand miles, and across the sea were numerous islands, with the largest island at its center being the heart of Western Realm.
The Western Realm held a special status within the Nine Immortal Realm. Under Jade Emperor's jurisdiction, everyone practiced Taoism, while in contrast, Western Realm practiced Buddhism, belonging to a different level of cultivation.
Nominally, Western Realm was still under Jade Emperor's control. However, in reality, Western Buddha's power was strong enough to have long since established its own system.
