Chapter 975: You Provide the Bride Price, I Enter the Bridal Chamber

Above the Eastern Boundary of Eastern Wanggu, beneath the glacier, it was pitch black.

Thick layers of ice became the sky of the ice river, shrouding this place.

The biting cold of the ice river, and the coldness it contained, should have caused the river water to freeze, but the river water here was strange, possessing both alien matter transformed by divine aura and spiritual power.

According to the distribution of different levels, the freezing point was also different.

The deeper one went, the more the freezing point exceeded cognition. Even though Xu Qing and Chen Erniu could no longer feel any heat energy in their bodies, relying entirely on their own cultivation to support their vitality, the water still did not freeze!

And the coldness, as they sank, became even more intense!

So much so that when they reached about thirty thousand zhang, Xu Qing's figure paused!

If he continued to sink, he could naturally withstand it with his physical body, but his soul had already felt the pressure!

But at least he could support sinking another ten or twenty thousand zhang!

But Feng Lin Tao and Miss Yuedong had already reached their limit!

Any deeper, and they would have no ability to display immortal techniques and inheritance!

On the contrary, Chen Erniu's strangeness was displayed here to the fullest; he was completely unharmed.

Even giving Xu Qing the feeling that in this icy river water, Chen Erniu was actually more comfortable than outside!

"Your Big Brother is always your Big Brother!"

Noticing Xu Qing's gaze, Chen Erniu's expression was proud!

Xu Qing heard this, cooperating by revealing a look of admiration on his face, which made Chen Erniu feel incomparably comfortable in his heart, but he also knew that Feng Lin Tao and Miss Yuedong were not suitable to go deeper!

So after the two exchanged looks, they decided to open

Feng Lin Tao's inheritance here!

So Chen Erniu waved his hand, and instantly Feng Lin Tao's soul appeared in the ice river. The moment it appeared, its soul body immediately trembled, visibly beginning to freeze!

A strong life-and-death crisis made Feng Lin Tao's heart churn, and he exploded with all his soul power without hesitation, attempting to resist the cold here!

But the effect was minimal!

So much so that Feng Lin Tao had to float upward, only after rising three thousand zhang did he manage to balance, his soul body not becoming an ice sculpture!

"So useless."

Chen Erniu furrowed his brows, scolding!

Feng Lin Tao's heart felt aggrieved; he wanted to tell Chen Erniu that he was a soul body, without a physical body, so the strength he could exert was naturally much weaker!

And all this was not what he wished for; wasn't it because he was fished that this was caused... Besides, he had been restrained by the two of you on the way, so his strength was naturally limited!

However, these grievances, he dared not speak, only burying them in his heart, while his face had to show an ingratiating look!

It was truly that he was very worried that after handing over the inheritance, his value would be infinitely small...

If he made the other party unhappy, he feared that by then he would

be dead for sure!

Although along the way, he had been constantly pondering how to break the situation, until now, he hadn't thought of any way!

At this moment, being stared at by Chen Erniu and Xu Qing, the tiger-like gaze made Feng Lin Tao's heart tremble, yet he dared not disobey, so he hardened his heart and looked toward Xu Qing!

"Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, next I will be sincere and honest, without the slightest concealment, nor will I unfold any means unfavorable to you, going all out to send out the inheritance, and help you

brand the authority!"

"I have no other requirements, nor do I hope you will return my freedom, I just want to live, even if I become a slave, it doesn't matter, so Fellow Daoist Xu Qing..."

"I want to believe you, I hope you can give me a promise."

Feng Lin Tao looked at Xu Qing, and after he finished speaking, before Xu Qing could say anything, Chen Erniu beside him was unhappy!

"What do you mean? Don't want to believe me?"

Feng Lin Tao's heart trembled, just about to explain, when Xu Qing's voice came, interrupting him!

"I will do my best within my ability to send you back to the human race. As for your life or death, it will be decided by the Empress!"

As soon as Xu Qing's words came out, Feng Lin Tao finally felt stable in his heart, letting out a long breath!

If Xu Qing had promised everything, he would have been uneasy, but Xu Qing's words showed sincerity!

So Feng Lin Tao's eyes revealed decisiveness, no longer hesitating, nor making more requests, at this moment pinching a technique and pressing against his brow!

Instantly his soul body flashed with brilliant light, like a star in this pitch-black ice river!

Even more threads appeared on his soul body due to the cold here, crossing and outlining each other, forming a blooming flower!

Once this totem of the flower appeared, a strange fragrance drifted out!

As it expanded outward...

A primitive and majestic intent rose on the flower,

that was... the aura of a Great Emperor!

This aura was illusory if manifested outside!

But appearing in this icy river water, it had substance...

Becoming a ring composed of countless marks, manifesting around Feng Lin Tao, continuously rotating, continuously flashing!

Echoing with the totem of the flower!

Finally, this ring, like the manifestation of that flower, took shape as a flower outside Feng Lin Tao's soul body.

The marks composing this flower all revealed a sense of Dao essence, and looking closely, one could see these marks were all blank, containing no will, nor any spell techniques!

What they had was only the purest and most basic Dao essence!

"This is the authority transformed by the Great Emperor's inheritance of my Liaoxuan Sacred Land; it is blank and can be branded with suitable spell techniques and divine abilities to form authority."

"But not all spell techniques can succeed, and every failure will cause the inheritance marks to permanently dissipate a bit, so it is best to choose successfully in one go!"

Feng Lin Tao spoke immediately, his expression twisted; clearly, manifesting the inheritance, even with the help of the environment here, was difficult for him!

"Two fellow Daoists, I can only persist for the time of one incense stick."

"What spell technique to brand, you two decide quickly."

Xu Qing and Chen Erniu exchanged looks!

For this opportunity, they could choose not to select Miss Yuedong's immortal technique, but Miss Yuedong had clearly prepared for her plan to brand her immortal technique into authority, so the possibility of success was the greatest!

Xu Qing pondered!

Chen Erniu narrowed his eyes!

"Little A-Qing, I am thinking of a question, and that is whether Miss Yuedong's plan is really just to brand her immortal technique into authority... Based on the few exchanges with Miss Yuedong, this woman gives me the feeling that her scheming is extremely deep!"

"So, is it really impossible that she still has subsequent plans? Branding into authority might just be an important link in her overall plan!"

After Chen Erniu finished speaking, Xu Qing was lost in thought!

Recalling Miss Yuedong's coordination with Xiang Lanyao, if she were really just for Feng Lin Tao's inheritance, then there was actually no need to participate deeply in the struggle between the Lan family and the Great Emperor's disciple Lu You Lingzi.

She should have had other ways to bypass the Lan family and plot for Feng Lin Tao's inheritance!

But she chose the path that, for the Lan family, would yield the greatest harvest if successful!

"She must have other purposes."

Xu Qing and Chen Erniu exchanged looks, then lifted their hands, and Miss Yuedong, controlled by the shadow, appeared in the river water!

The moment she appeared, Miss Yuedong's body trembled, resentment still in her eyes, but controlled by Little Shadow, she couldn't resist, only able to let Little Shadow control her to speak!

"Master, no other purposes were found in this woman's memory; it seems that transforming the immortal technique into authority is her final plan!"

Xu Qing's gaze was icy, looking at the resentment in Miss Yuedong's eyes, speaking indifferently!

"Control this woman, unfold the immortal technique. This inheritance authority, don't brand other spell techniques, just brand this woman's immortal technique."

Little Shadow obeyed!

Under its control, Miss Yuedong lifted both hands, unfolding the Six Thieves Delusion immortal technique directly!

With the flashing of seven-colored light, the resentment in Miss Yuedong's eyes was rapidly replaced by anxiety, but it was to no avail, only able to watch her own body unfold the immortal technique uncontrollably!

Very quickly, seven-colored light shone brilliantly, erupting from her body, forming a sea of seven-colored light, completely shrouding the flower formed outside Feng Lin Tao's body!

Those blank marks, in this rendering, also rapidly absorbed the seven-colored light, becoming seven-colored, and finally, when Little Shadow controlled Miss Yuedong's hands to lift and slash fiercely before her!

Instantly, the connection between the sea of seven-colored light and Miss Yuedong was directly severed!

All the seven-colored light surged into the inheritance flower on Feng Lin Tao, distributing itself into all the marks, making that blooming flower a seven-colored flower!

Gazing at this flower, Feng Lin Tao's heart rose with entanglement; he had the heart to take it for himself, but the next instant Xu Qing's figure appeared behind him, and Chen Erniu arrived before him!

Under Xu Qing's cold gaze, in Chen Erniu's half-smile, Feng Lin Tao had to suppress the restlessness that had risen in his heart, speaking sincerely!

"Two fellow Daoists, pour it with Liaoxuan Sacred Liquid, and it can be completely solidified!"

"Liaoxuan Sacred Liquid is hidden in my soul; in my current state, outsiders cannot take it, it will affect the formation of authority, so please undo my restraint and let me take it out for you!"

Feng Lin Tao tried hard to make his expression sincere!

This was his last trump card!

It was just that there was one thing he had judged wrongly from the root... Xu Qing also had Liaoxuan Sacred Liquid, and much more than his.

So the next instant, Xu Qing lifted his right hand, took out a bottle, and with a wave, Liaoxuan Sacred Liquid, dozens of times more than what Feng Lin Tao had seen, poured out from this bottle!

The moment it landed on the seven-colored flower, because of the sufficient quantity, the flower rapidly solidified, completely becoming real from an illusory state!

The next instant, as Xu Qing lifted his hand, a "click" sound echoed, and this seven-colored flower suddenly severed its connection with Feng Lin Tao, flying toward Xu Qing!

Caught by Xu Qing, held in his palm!

This scene caused Feng Lin Tao's eyes to widen and his heart to rumble!

"So much..."

He immediately guessed the reason, understanding that on that day in the Liaoxuan Sacred Liquid cave, the sacred liquid was not as little as he had seen, but had been taken away by Xu Qing in advance.

His heart churned, countless emotions rose, but he had to suppress them, enduring the grievance, enduring the bitterness, continuing to put on an ingratiating look, while also placing hope on that seven-colored flower!

This flower revealed a vast aura, the Dao essence becoming strong, becoming true authority!

And it was ownerless; once merged, it could transform into a Dao mark!

Such creation, placed in the outside world, would definitely drive countless cultivators crazy, even gods would be moved!

"But there is only one piece," Feng Lin Tao muttered in his heart beneath his ingratiating exterior; he asked himself if he were in their shoes, even if it were his own brother, he would have to snatch it, let alone just a fellow sect member!

But the next instant, a scene that made his heart drop appeared!

After Xu Qing played with the seven-colored flower, he actually threw it to Chen Erniu with a flick!

Chen Erniu caught it, looked at it in his hand, and looked up at Feng Lin Tao!

Feng Lin Tao's ingratiating expression grew thicker!

Chen Erniu grinned!

"Little Feng, I'll perform a magic trick for you. Speaking of which, this magic trick also had the foundation for completion thanks to your generosity!"

After speaking, amidst Feng Lin Tao's confusion, Chen Erniu looked at Xu Qing!

Regarding this matter, they had already found a solution on the way!

So Xu Qing lifted his hand, and his Sacred Heaven Divine Vine flew out suddenly, heading straight for Chen Erniu!

Chen Erniu also swayed his body, and his own Sacred Heaven Divine Vine flew out as well!

These two divine vines were once one, bitten off by Chen Erniu and separated into two, but now, as they approached, they actually began to merge again, very quickly becoming one!

Afterward, amidst Feng Lin Tao's heart-shaking, Chen Erniu threw the seven-colored flower in his hand toward the divine vine!

The divine vine opened its mouth wide and swallowed it fiercely!

Instantly, seven-colored light shone over its whole body, flowing through everything before transforming into Dao marks that spread throughout the whole, then separating on their own, returning...

After merging into Xu Qing and Chen Erniu's bodies, both shook, their eyes closed, and the aura of authority rose on their bodies, beginning to merge!

The immortal technique, Six Thieves Delusion... was perfectly split into two!

Feng Lin Tao's heart kept sinking, a sense of helplessness rising strongly!

Miss Yuedong to the side, the emotional fluctuations in her eyes, were the same!

At this moment, the two had their first resonance!

But the result could not be changed, and what made the two even more heart-shaken was that dozens of breaths later, as Xu Qing and Chen Erniu opened their eyes, they turned their heads in unison to look at Miss Yuedong!

"So that's how it is."

"Actually hiding the thought containing the final purpose in the immortal technique, and it was very hidden... If not for transforming into authority, it would be extremely difficult to detect!"

"No wonder Little Shadow couldn't see it from your memory. Miss Yuedong indeed had a deeper plan; that was the final reason she chose to cooperate with the Lan family!"

This reason, this thought, had been erased from her own memory at a critical moment and transferred into the immortal technique, so Little Shadow couldn't investigate it before!

At this moment, after Xu Qing and Chen Erniu merged the authority, they finally understood roughly!

Refining Feng Lin Tao's inheritance and branding the immortal technique into authority was just the second step of Miss Yuedong's overall plan!

The first step was her cooperation with the Lan family, helping to lure the Great Emperor's disciple, while also plotting for Feng Lin Tao's inheritance!

The second step was merging Feng Lin Tao to make the Six Thieves Delusion immortal technique into authority!

As for the third step, it was her ultimate goal!

She had an agreement with the Lan family that after the Lan family took away the Great Emperor's disciple's magic eye, the physical body would be handed over to her to be refined into an emotional puppet!

Then she would control this puppet and go with the Lan family to approach the place where the Great Emperor was in seclusion, plotting for that Great Emperor who was suspected to have fallen.

The Lan family didn't know what means they had hidden, but they had absolute confidence, and they told Miss Yuedong that the Great Emperor was not suspected to have fallen, but had truly fallen!

And the place of seclusion was closed, and the Dao essence and cultivation dissipated by the Great Emperor's fall would settle. If absorbed, it could make cultivation advance by leaps and bounds!

According to the plan, it would definitely succeed!

At that time, the Lan family would obtain the Great Emperor's other inheritances and cultivation!

And Miss Yuedong would use this authority of hers to brand the Great Emperor's corpse, refining a Great Emperor corpse puppet!

This plan clearly still needed many details, and it was obvious that there was scheming, after all, looking at it roughly, Miss Yuedong's role didn't seem that important!

But the Lan family still chose to cooperate with Miss Yuedong... but the specific matters, in this thought, did not exist!

It was unknown whether it was hidden by other methods, or hidden in other people's emotions, or with the Lan family!

Although this was the case, Chen Erniu was still moved by the madness of this plan!

"This Miss Yuedong is so crazy, her guts are so big... I like it."

Chen Erniu's eyes shone brightly, and he turned to look at Xu Qing!

"Little A-Qing, since Miss Yuedong is fated with us and has done this much for us, should we go to the Great Emperor's seclusion place and do a big job!" ===== CHAPTER 978 =====

I don't know if it was hidden by other methods, or hidden in other people's emotions, or perhaps it's with the Lan family!

Even so, Er Niu was still moved by the madness of this plan!

"This Yue Dong is so crazy and so bold... I like it."

Er Niu's eyes soon lit up, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Qing!

"Little A-Qing, since Yue Dong is fated with us and has done this much for us, shall we go to the Great Emperor's place of seclusion next and do something big!"
