Chapter 456 The Empress Meets the Heavenly Emperor
Because he couldn't defeat this Pegasus Saint Emperor, he could only wag his tail and say perfunctorily, "Oh, oh..."
The Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor failed to notice the Black Emperor's perfunctory tone, and continued to shake his head and lament that the Holy Spirit Clan had no successors, and that there were too few people as talented and intelligent as himself.
"Life is truly as lonely as snow!"
Black Emperor: ...
I will endure!
After the Empress had avenged herself and settled all karmic debts, she turned and took a step back to that small mountain village.
The village has changed quite a bit, after all, so many years have passed.
However, the old locust tree is still there; it was specially enlightened by the Empress after she secretly returned to the village after achieving success in her cultivation.
Under this tree lie too many memories of her childhood.
The crooked tree trunk still bears the words that the siblings carved when they were children.
The adobe house collapsed, and someone built a new house on the original site. It has blue bricks and gray tiles and is much sturdier than the adobe house of the past.
The empress stood at the village entrance, her white robes billowing in the wind.
She didn't disturb anyone; she just stood there quietly, looking at the dirt road she used to run along when she was a child, chasing after her brother.
She looked at the old locust tree where she used to play.
Her childhood was here, and all the best memories of her life are here.
For the Empress, her childhood in the village was the happiest time of her life, and the most beautiful memories of her life are all in this village.
Nothing can compare to these wonderful memories.
The villagers didn't say they were particularly good to the brother and sister, but they didn't bully them either.
They did not discriminate against their status as orphans, nor did they bully or make things difficult for them.
Some people gave me a bowl of rice, some gave me two cabbages, and some helped with the funeral arrangements when my parents had just passed away.
She remembers all these acts of kindness.
In the eyes of the brother and sister, they had already done a very good job of doing all this.
The siblings have never asked for much; they are already very grateful that the villagers have done so much.
So now that the Empress had the power, she came to repay him, but she did so in a grand manner.
She invited several respected elders from the village.
The elderly people stood before her with trepidation, not daring to look up.
The Empress said nothing, but took out several jade slips from her sleeve and handed them over.
The jade slip contained her cultivation method, but it wasn't her Devouring Heaven Demon Art; it was a proper cultivation method.
She placed the jade slip in the hand of the leading old man and turned to leave.
No unnecessary words, no unnecessary pauses.
The old man leading the group held the jade slip, his hands trembling. He stared blankly for a long time as the white-clad figure disappeared at the village entrance.
The remaining villagers, like him, watched the Empress's departing figure with shock, bewilderment, and confusion.
How could a great emperor emerge from my tiny village?
How did that once frail little girl become the supreme empress?
It all happened so suddenly, so unbelievably, that no one could believe it was real.
Not to mention the villagers who haven't seen much of the world.
Moreover, they themselves now possess this rare imperial lineage.
It was all too dreamlike, leaving them all bewildered.
It's like a destitute person suddenly receiving a windfall of wealth, with billions of dollars falling into their lap.
Moreover, this is an imperial scripture personally given by the current emperor, more precious than billions of fortunes, a priceless treasure.
They never dreamed that one day a great emperor would emerge from their village, and that this great emperor would personally pass on his legacy to them.
I wouldn't even dare to dream of something so outrageous.
After a long while, the village leader suddenly looked up at the deserted village entrance, his lips trembling.
"The Great Emperor...that's the Great Emperor...the frail little girl Father used to talk about, has she become the Great Emperor?"
The people next to them were also stunned, their mouths agape, unable to utter a word.
Someone knelt down and kowtowed in the direction where the Empress had disappeared.
Some people cried, laughing at the same time.
"Our village has produced an emperor! Our village has produced an emperor!"
"This is a blessing earned over many lifetimes!"
"The Great Emperor still remembers us! The Great Emperor still remembers our village! She hasn't forgotten us villagers! The Great Emperor is merciful!"
The group of elderly people were excited for a while before they gradually calmed down.
In their remote and impoverished mountain village, the Emperor's Scripture came into being.
The old man who first received the jade slip tucked it into his robes, looked around, and lowered his voice, saying:
"No one is allowed to tell anyone about this. The matter of the Emperor's Scripture must remain a secret. Our village is too weak. If people find out that we have the Emperor's Scripture, it will be a catastrophe."
"Yes, we must keep this a secret."
Several people nodded, suppressing their excitement, as their village was currently too weak.
It needs to develop quietly.
The village returned to peace, the leaves of the old locust tree rustling as if nothing had happened.
After leaving, the Empress began trying to resurrect her brother.
Everything she did, including her cultivation, was for the purpose of bringing her brother back to life.
So for a period of time afterward, she tried various methods and traveled to many magical places in the Three Realms, hoping to resurrect her brother.
She walked across every star of life in the human world and climbed over every sacred mountain recorded in ancient books.
Unfortunately, she failed in all of them; she couldn't revive her brother.
The Empress stood deep within the starry sky, her figure graceful and ethereal, like a fairy descending to earth, with star fragments floating beneath her feet.
"Brother, what should I do..."
Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, were filled with sorrow; she had already become an empress.
Unrivaled in the world, capable of destroying stars and shattering galaxies with a single thought.
But she couldn't bring her brother back.
What's the point of cultivating on your own then?
She didn't know what value she still had.
An endless sadness welled up from her, spreading outwards like a tide.
A subtle ripple spread through the void, and even across the endless starry sky, one could feel the heavy sorrow.
After a while, she raised her head and looked out at the four corners of the universe, at this familiar yet strange world. Her gaze pierced through the vast starry sky, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
In the distance, above the sea of clouds, stands a majestic celestial palace. This is the Heavenly Court.
She thought of the Heavenly Emperor, the supreme being of the Three Realms, the omnipotent being of the Three Realms.
"If we're talking about who in the Three Realms has the best hope and the most ability to solve this problem, it has to be the Heavenly Emperor."
Hope rekindled in the Empress's eyes.
She planned to ask the Heavenly Emperor if there was any way to help.
However, she knew that the Heavenly Emperor was in seclusion, so she did not go to the Heavenly Court, but went to the Great Luo Heaven, where the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit Body was located.
She took a step and appeared in the Great Luo Heaven. The Dao Palace deep within the Myriad Realms City still floated above the sea of clouds, ancient and quiet.
The Empress stood before the gate of the Dao Palace, looking at the tightly closed door, feeling somewhat uneasy.
She was afraid of disappointment, afraid of receiving a disappointing answer later.
If even the Heavenly Emperor says there's no way, then she truly has no hope.
The Empress took a deep breath and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door when it opened.
She knew that the other person knew she had arrived.
Without hesitation, the Empress stepped inside.
The hall was filled with the fragrance of tea, and Jiang Hao, in his Dao Fruit form, sat cross-legged on a futon.
His aura was restrained, as peaceful as that of an ordinary person.
The teapot on the table in front of him was steaming.
Two teacups were already set out, rims facing upwards, as if they knew she was coming.
Jiang Hao raised his head, looked at the white-clad empress who walked in, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"You're here? Have a seat."
The Empress stood at the doorway, staring at the figure before her, and was instantly stunned!
