Inside the imperial palace of Tianwu Kingdom, Li Tianqiong was holding his chest with one hand, his face pale.
The four experts sitting around him all had unsightly expressions on their faces.
“Li Tianqiong, the Tianwu Kingdom’s Slab of Fortune has been destroyed,” one of the experts said. “That’s why you suffered a backlash when using the Spirit Supreme. Your current strength is already weaker than even Transcendence First Realm.”
“Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?” Li Tianqiong asked furiously.
“If we told you, you would have tried to stop the Slab of Fortune’s destruction,” another expert said. “But now, you have no other options. The only thing you can do is obey the First Heaven Emissary. That is the only way you can preserve the Tianwu Kingdom. You should understand what it means for the Slab of Fortune to be destroyed, right?”
“Li Tianqiong, you should know that joining the First Heaven Society is the only correct choice you can make,” the third expert spoke. “You are only the emperor of a low-level kingdom. To be able to attract the attention of the First Heaven Society is a great honor. Otherwise, we would have destroyed your Tianwu Kingdom long ago.”
“That’s right.” the last Transcendence Realm expert nodded. “You don’t have to be overly worried. Although your Spirit Supreme has been damaged by the Slab of Fortune’s destruction, with our assistance, you will be able to return to your top strength in seven days. After repairing your Spirit Supreme, your strength will be restored to Transcendence Third Realm.”
“I was planning to kill all the rebels today.” Li Tianqiong frowned. “But it looks like I’ll have to wait a bit.”
Outside the Heaven’s Wall City, when the Martial Faction’s army heard Li Tianqiong’s voice, everyone looked afraid. Xuan Ji and the other higher-ups all had unsightly expressions.
“Hmph. To be honest, the emperor has returned long ago,” Empress Cao said arrogantly. “Rebels, you will all die now.”
“How is that possible? If Li Tianqiong has truly returned, why hasn’t he shown himself?”
“It must be a trick,” Yao Qingyun declared calmly. “Empress Cao is crafty. She must have used a fake voice to scare us!”
When Li Tianqiong’s voice sounded, the intense battle was put on a temporary hold. The imperial guards all looked excited while the Martial Faction army was either fearful or doubtful.
“Everyone, do not be afraid. It’s only a voice.”
When Xuan Ji saw that the army moral was swaying, she spoke to stabilize the army morale. They still weren’t sure what was happening, so they couldn’t afford to descend into chaos.
When Ye Mo heard that, he frowned as well. He himself wasn’t sure if Li Tianqiong had truly returned.
“Xuan Ji, have you forgotten my voice?” Li Tianqiong’s voice echoed again. His voice contained a slight trace of Spirit Supreme, everyone felt the suppression. “I was planning to personally kill all of you rebels to show the might of the kingdom. But my marriage with Imperial Concubine Qi Ying is going to be held in seven days. I do not wish to see blood before then. The strong should show benevolence. That is a principle I believe in. Therefore, I am now giving you seven days to think it over. After my wedding ceremony, I will kill all of you.”
Spirit Supreme was capable of subjecting all citizens of the Tianwu Kingdom to a sense of oppression, and it was something that could not be feigned.
And for the sake of buying time to recover his strength, it was a good excuse for Li Tianqiong.
“Why is the emperor in such a rush to hold the wedding ceremony with Qi Ying?” Empress Cao was unaware of Li Tianqiong’s condition. So she was very doubtful when she heard his words. But since Li Tianqiong had spoken, she had to play along, “Did you hear that? The emperor is kind and benevolent, giving you guys seven days. Seven days from now, the wedding ceremony between the emperor and the imperial concubine will be held, and all of you are invited to the ceremony. Whether you will die or continue living after those seven days, it will depend on what you choose in the next week.”
After saying all that, Empress Cao ignored everyone that was looking at her and flew back into the city.
“Damn it. Li Tianqiong has returned quickly.” Ye Mo clenched his fists. “And the wedding ceremony with Sister Qi Ying will be held in seven days.”

Before they could even start the battle, the entire thing was stopped just by Li Tianqiong’s voice. And he’d planted a deep fear in the hearts of the Martial Faction members. Nobody could remain calm in face of Li Tianqiong’s reputation.
With my current strength, even facing a Transcendence Second Realm expert will be somewhat difficult, Ye Mo thought I’m not a match for Li Tianqiong. What should I do?
Ye Mo grew anxious. He had seven days left, and whether it was the marriage between Li Tianqiong and Qi Ying or the incoming attack Li Tianqiong was going to launch at the Martial Faction, both were giving Ye Mo a massive headache.
He had no choice but to face this pressure head-on.
“Ye Mo, I have a way to increase your strength, but it will be somewhat dangerous,” Hong Ling said when she sensed the anxiousness in Ye Mo’s heart.
“What is it?” Ye Mo’s heart jumped when he heard that. He himself was unaware of how he was supposed to become strong enough to fight Li Tianqiong in only seven days.
“Do you remember the Infernal Demon sealed in the Goddess’ Eternal Spring in the Goddess’ Grotto?” Hong Ling asked.
“Do you mean the Infernal Demon that nearly possessed my body?”
Hearing what Hong Ling said, Ye Mo recalled that when he was accepting the baptism of Goddess’ Eternal Spring, he was sent to the mouth of the spring by the Infernal Demon. If it wasn’t for Ling’er’s help, he would have gotten possessed by that demon.
“That’s right,” Hong Ling said. “The Infernal Demon was also a Transcendence Realm demon. His soul was injured and he’s totally not your match. Killing him and obtaining his spirit will be very helpful in resurrecting Ling’er. But what’s going to increase your strength is not that Infernal Demon. Instead, it’s the Goddess’ Eternal Spring. Within the spring is the Goddess Power. Since the goddess is an immortal from the heavens, Immortal’s Will is contained within her power.”
Hong Ling continued, “Borrowing the Immortal’s Will to breakthrough is extremely dangerous, but with the Dragon God’s Will within your body, it shouldn’t cause you too much trouble.”
“Ok. Let’s go there right now.”
After making up his mind, Ye Mo appeared beside Cai Ling and after pulling at her hands, they vanished under everyone’s stupefied gazes.
“I’ll return in seven days,” Ye Mo promised. “Hang on. I’ll come back and defeat Li Tianqiong.”
Leaving those words behind, Ye Mo headed toward the City of Daughters with Cai Ling in tow.
“Ye Mo, you’re now a renowned expert of the Tianwu Kingdom. You have reached your goal from back then,” Cai Ling said with a calm smile. A chance to be alone with Ye Mo was rare, so she didn’t ask where Ye Mo was bringing her.
“My current strength is just a beginning,” Ye Mo said. “If possible, I will take your revenge for you as well. You can just stay here peacefully as the guardian of the Tianwu Kingdom.”
“Even after saying those words, I won’t be touched, nor will I fall in love with you,” Cai Ling said as she pursed her lips.
“I didn’t understand before, but I now know that those of the Nine-Tails Clan will die if they fall in love with a human,” Ye Mo said. “But that limitation is just a sort of natural law. So long as your strength surpasses the natural law, it will no longer be able to kill you.”
Ye Mo continued, “I believe that a day will come when you reach that height in your cultivation. Let’s strive hard toward that new target.”
When Cai Ling heard that, her eyes turned misty and she nodded before jumping into Ye Mo’s embrace.
“A hot-blooded youth is truly incapable of resisting beauties.” Hong Ling sighed helplessly watching the scene.
Ye Mo hugged Cai Ling and he felt the warmth of her body. He knew that in this trip to the Goddess’ Grotto, killing the Infernal Demon wouldn’t be dangerous. But receiving the baptism of the Goddess River and obtaining the power of immortals would be extremely dangerous.
