Chapter 817: Chapter 542: What are these outrageous words_2 Chapter 817: Chapter 542: What are these outrageous words_2 Emperor Merciless slightly raised the corners of her mouth, speaking leisurely.

She did this on purpose.

In her view, it was merely a place to rest, anywhere would do.

Even a fallen leaf, a stubborn stone, a piece of rope, and so on–she could rest on them, in her heart they were no different from a star.

The reason she was so deliberate

was mainly because the Willow God had initially confronted her so directly.

“You… what’s so great about being an Immortal King!” The Willow God paused, her mouth curling with disdain.

Who hadn’t been like that once?

Was that even worth boasting about to her?

Original body, original body, where are you? Calling for the original body!

“If fellow Taoist wishes to discuss the Tao with this seat, this seat is naturally very welcoming, but besides our resting palace, there are no other dwellings on the back mountain…”

Jiang Hui spoke up then, timely interrupting the Willow God’s “summoning spell.”

“It doesn’t matter, I can just find a cave on the mountain when the time comes. We cultivators don’t mind even if we don’t eat or sleep!”

Emperor Merciless laughed.

“There are no caves on the mountain, and besides, don’t you think your presence might affect us?! ”

The Willow God’s eyes twinkled, staring intently at the harsh woman, her tone no longer confrontational, but it carried a gritting intensity.

She of course heard that the woman wearing the Ghost Face Mask was intentionally saying it like that.

But even so, she couldn’t help feeling irritated.

“Affect what?”

Emperor Merciless asked subconsciously.

“It seems you do not understand the master well, he has a peculiar habit, he always likes to indulge in those shameful acts with me in the wilds and desolate mountains.

Of course, if you want to learn, you are naturally welcome to move up the mountain. I’m just warning you in advance to prepare yourself, lest anyone is startled by the surprise!

The Willow God revealed a profoundly mysterious smile, she did it intentionally too, but as she spoke, her originally fair complexion blushed red.

This made her seem even more convincing.

“…” Jiang Hui.

He suddenly had a sense of impending social death.

This young lady, she’s too bold, too talkative!

And moreover,

after the incident with Old man Lin last time, he had lost that kind of habit!

“This…it might be better if this venerable one stays down at the Spirit Water Palace Hall…”

Emperor Merciless was stunned for a long while and finally realized, immediately thinking that her ears might have caught something filthy.

What are these outrageous words?

Coming from a woman’s mouth!

Shouldn’t someone at her level have long lost interest in mortal indulgences, the kind of pleasures of the bed? How could the Master of Liu Village act contrary to this!?

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Jiang Hui, seemingly trying to see the reasons behind it.

Feeling the fiery gaze of Emperor Merciless, Jiang Hui suddenly felt an impulse to burst out laughing and leave, not caring what others thought.

“Since fellow Taoist has traveled from afar, you must be weary from the journey, why not go rest first? This seat will arrange for food to be sent to you later!”

Jiang Hui revealed a characteristic smile, thinking that the most suitable method at this time was to change the subject.

“That’s fine!” Emperor Merciless hesitated for a moment, finally nodding her head.

Truth be told, even though she was as powerful as she was, eternally immortal, undying, and indestructible, she was already somewhat weary from the prolonged battles against the darkness.

Not physically.

But psychologically.

The more she fought in it, the more she felt the overpowering strength of that darkness, utterly unbeatable. Not to mention that she had yet to step into the Realm of Immortal Emperor– even if she had, it likely wouldn’t change anything.

That plateau was far too terrifying.

And she had a feeling, a terrible feeling that the true horror of that plateau had yet to show itself, lying dormant, waiting for the day to arrive.

Could they, truly be a match for it?

Though such doubtful sentiments should not arise in her, she felt nevertheless melancholic.

…

…

Time passed inexorably, and before she knew it, several months had flown by.

During this time,

Emperor Merciless resided in the Spirit Water Palace at the foot of the mountain, living like a mortal, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Jiang Hui observed and speculated that this must be one of Emperor Merciless’s unique cultivation methods.

Reaching her realm, simply isolating oneself in meditation no longer had any effect.

However, one day, she suddenly sought out Jiang Hui.

“The future generations are too cruel. I consider myself fortunate to have experienced a peaceful and tranquil era, but unfortunately, even the most peaceful days must come to an end,”

Emperor Merciless spoke up immediately.

“It is your mountain village, however, that has allowed me to feel a long-lost tranquility, a tranquility I have not felt in a very long time!”

The woman then expressed some emotion.

In the future, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in The Great Universe had already been shattered beyond recognition, with heaven and earth dimmed, finding no place to settle. Though Emperor Huang Tian did some repairs, it was still hard to compare to before. They all lived on other planets, such as the Big Dipper, Zi Wei, and Burial Star.

Before coming here, Ye Fan had intentionally told her, not only was The Master of Liu Village very special, but Liu Village itself was also extraordinary, indescribable in words, and one could only understand by experiencing it in person.

So, she came.

Indeed, it was different.

“Perhaps I could stay a little longer,” Jiang Hui, somewhat puzzled like a monk who couldn’t touch his head, said instinctively.

“Even if you did not ask, I had planned on it,” Emperor Merciless nodded noncommittally.

At this, Jiang Hui didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, Emperor Merciless spoke again.

“May I ask, sir, how do you perceive breaking through to become Emperor after King?”

She had come to discuss the Tao with Jiang Hui.

Although their paths and methods were different, Emperor Merciless believed that despite different paths, all ultimately lead to the same goal.

No matter which path of cultivation one followed, the final endpoint, the destination, was the same.

She had been hesitating in the King’s Domain for countless ages and still felt no chance of breaking through to become Emperor after King, clearly showing that realm was still far from her reach, at least in the short term.

However, she did not have much time left.

After some thought, she wanted to hear Jiang Hui’s feelings and understanding of the Realm of Immortal Emperor.

As for what Jiang Hui’s actual realm was, after some consideration, she thought it should be somewhere between Supreme Immortal King and Supreme Giant.

Perhaps even stronger.

But one thing was certain, he had definitely not broken through to become Emperor after King.

Because once one reached that realm, a terrifying Immortal Emperor’s Brilliance would be born, which could spread across the vast universe, leaving behind a true Legendary Stele, the marks of an Immortal Emperor that even time could not erase, enduring eternally, undying and indestructible.

Throughout ancient and modern times, even the strongest were merely infinitely close to that realm, never truly stepping into it.

If The Master of Liu Village had stepped into that realm, the future generations wouldn’t have Emperor Huang Tian severing the longevity of ages with a single strike, creating a relatively peaceful Perfect World for them.

Nevertheless, even if The Master of Liu Village had not reached it, he must have accumulated quite a bit of experience, possibly providing some referential insights.

“Breaking through to become Emperor after King, what are your thoughts?”

Jiang Hui furrowed his eyebrows slightly, surprised that Emperor Merciless posed such a distinctly clear yet extremely challenging topic on her first discussion with him.

To be honest,

Emperor Merciless’s question really stumped him.

He could answer other questions, but how to respond about breaking through to become Emperor after King?

How to see it, naturally, was to see it lying down.

To the side,

Hearing this, Willow God also came over.

A pair of eyes as clear and bright as stars also couldn’t help but turn towards Jiang Hui, sidling up with her two fair ears listening with interest.

Her obsession with breaking through to become Emperor after King was absolutely no lighter than anyone else’s.

After all, her original body had risked danger alone, entering that mysteriously dangerous world just for a chance to step into that realm.

This was a question she had always wanted to ask too.

However, as time went by with Jiang Hui, gradually, she no longer cared about becoming an emperor as much as before.

Immortality was already enough for her because it allowed her to stay by her master’s side forever.

She ultimately was not that Willow God.

But since this woman called Merciless asked, she might as well listen.

Seeing both women looking over, Jiang Hui pursed his lips, suddenly not knowing what to say.

He had his own insights on the Tao, indeed, but as for breaking through realms, it was virtually nil.
