Chapter 1021

Luo Jin, what a clever scheme!

Qi Chun Jing had already been on guard.

He knew the Ghost Palace could not be trusted.

Sure enough, Luo Jin this bastard actually launched a sneak attack in the dark.

This timing was exactly when he had been fighting the Azure Abyss Emperor for a long time; if he hadn't anticipated it in advance, he would probably have been injured.

Luo Jin Laozi's figure emerged from the void, speaking calmly, "Qi Chun Jing, if I really wanted to hurt you, I would have already unleashed a killing move."

Qi Chun Jing snorted and said nothing more.

At this moment, the Azure Abyss Emperor also stopped, frowning slightly; he also hadn't expected Luo Jin Laozi to launch a sneak attack at this time.

He was very satisfied with the outcome of his battle against Qi Chun Jing.

In the past, he was no match for Qi Chun Jing at all!

If they continued fighting, he could do nothing to Qi Chun Jing.

Being able to fight to a draw with Qi Chun Jing was already not bad.

Moreover, being disturbed by Luo Jin Laozi, his fighting spirit vanished completely.

What he needs to consider now is whether to continue refining the Nine-turn Battle Gu using the second refinement method.

Just refining and activating it can achieve this level of combat power.

Then, if he fused part of the gu into his body, wouldn't that be even more heaven-defying?

The Azure Abyss Emperor put away the Qingming Tiangong Star Chart and the Nine-turn One-heart Seeking Death Gu, looked at Qi Chun Jing, and the corner of his mouth twitched up: "This battle was exhilarating. You truly are the current number one of Yong'an Heaven."

He was praising Qi Chun Jing, but in fact he was also praising himself.

Qi Chun Jing put away his long blade Li Zhu, his thoughts moved, a mysterious spatial dao pattern surged, and his figure vanished instantly from the spot, returning to the star-array of Yong'an Heaven.

Delay brings change!

He worried that Luo Jin Laozi would stir up some trouble again.

At this moment, Luo Jin Laozi pointed to the heaven-reaching long sword in the Yong'an Heaven star-array and said, "Yong'an Heaven has gained another terrifying spirit sword! Can you discern anything about it?"

The Azure Abyss Emperor blinked slightly, then proceeded to scrutinize the spirit sword.

During the battle just now, he had already noticed this spirit sword.

Although this sword's grade is not high, it can actually absorb the battle intent and human obsession from the vast starry sky.

This is a terrifying matter!

He secretly thought, Yong'an Heaven indeed has several sword-forging masters, but can they really forge such spirit swords?

This sword obviously came into being after undergoing countless ages.

After a moment, the Azure Abyss Emperor shook his head: "I cannot discern its origin."

Luo Jin Laozi transmitted secretly, "I heard from Hei Ze that the Spirit Martial Emperor has entered Qingming Heaven; quickly capture him and force Lu Xuan to ascend to the upper realm!"

The Azure Abyss Emperor said, "That is only natural."

Luo Jin Laozi nodded, "Please, Your Majesty, assist Hei Ze and them in laying down more dao patterns."

The Azure Abyss Emperor fell silent for a moment, then said, "I will consider this matter further. During this time, because of the Nine-turn Battle Gu, I have already given you, the Ghost Palace and Gu Yuan Heaven, plenty of benefits."

Luo Jin Laozi gave a heh laugh, "Azure Abyss Emperor, don't you want the World Tree to quickly perish and go to other worlds?"

The Azure Abyss Emperor gazed at the endless distant starry sky, revealing a hint of hope.

Beyond the World Tree, there are also the Butterfly World and the Giant Palm World.

The collapse of the World Tree is already irreversible.

If he could leave as soon as possible, he would naturally be willing.

But the upper realm is in ruins, and Qi Chun Jing, the Spirit Martial Emperor, and Lu Zunzhu are still struggling to patch things up, which has delayed his plans for a long time.

The Azure Abyss Emperor gave Luo Jin Laozi no clear answer, merely saying lightly, "I will consider it."

Luo Jin Laozi nodded.

The Azure Abyss Emperor directly slapped his hand, activating the super spatial pattern.

Boom!

Void Rending

His figure vanished from the spot, returning to Qingming Heaven.

Half a day later.

The Azure Abyss Emperor returned to Qingming Tiangong.

Many of the strong ones who had trained with him had already left; only Sun Qinghou remained guarding the palace gate, kneeling with a respectful expression. He carefully observed the Azure Abyss Emperor's expression, then loudly congratulated, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your triumphant return! Your divine might will surely suppress Qi Chun Jing completely!"

Hahaha!

The Azure Abyss Emperor burst into laughter, "Not bad, my good dog."

Everyone else had left; only Sun Qinghou waited here for his return, to congratulate him.

Hearing this evaluation, Sun Qinghou felt no shame, but rather supreme honor.

"Being Your Majesty's dog makes one the happiest person under heaven!"

Woof woof woof!

The Azure Abyss Emperor was in high spirits, casually tossing out a storage ring, "Here's your reward. Get up."

He naturally knew Sun Qinghou's thoughts.

This guy is waiting for a reward.

However, he fought to a draw with Qi Chun Jing, his mood is good; what's wrong with giving him some opportunities?

Sun Qinghou hurriedly got up from the ground and took the storage ring.

He secretly rejoiced.

What does it matter if one is a dog? In this Azure Abyss Heaven, who isn't a dog for the Azure Abyss Emperor?

But some people don't even grasp how to be a dog, just like those strong ones who previously trained with the Azure Abyss Emperor.

No matter how high one's cultivation, what good is it? After enduring so many blows, they still haven't become a proper cultivator!

But he did become one!

Being a dog is also a discipline; does it require talent?

Moments later.

Bai Loulan wore a white robe, holding a folding fan, looking very scholarly, came before the Azure Abyss Emperor, smiling and said, "Your Majesty, how did this battle go?"

The Azure Abyss Emperor chuckled, "As expected of the Nine-turn Battle Gu; even just the first refinement method can unleash such terrifying combat power!"

He was waiting for Bai Loulan to suggest he use the second refinement method, integrating the Gu into his body, thereby strengthening his confidence.

But Bai Loulan had already seen through this; all of the Azure Abyss Emperor's actions were under Gu Yue Laozi's control.

He deliberately didn't say anything.

Bai Loulan knew that for someone as powerful as the Azure Abyss Emperor, one must never make decisions for them.

Instead, one must let them decide for themselves!

Bai Loulan did the opposite, advising the Azure Abyss Emperor, "Your Majesty, the second and third refinement methods are generally chosen only by those of our Gu Clan's bloodline…"

The Azure Abyss Emperor interrupted Bai Loulan, eyes slightly narrowing, "How so? Do you think I cannot suppress this Nine-turn Battle Gu?"

Seeing the Azure Abyss Emperor take the bait, Bai Loulan continued, "What virtue or ability do I have to guess Your Majesty's divine might? Your Majesty should consider it first, after all, once a Gu enters the body, its power cannot be reversed, and regret would come too late."

The Azure Abyss Emperor lightly said, "I know."

In fact, he is now somewhat hesitant, but the desire in his heart gradually overcomes reason.

"Let me think."

The Azure Abyss Emperor stepped into the Qingming Tiangong, disappearing into the depths of the hall.

……

Azure Abyss Heaven back region.

After several days, Qingqiu and Wuwo had already found the location of the World Tree Dao Patterns.

This is a strange celestial body, its shape like an abyss, externally dazzling, but internally like a black hole.

Qingqiu wore a plain dress, her hair slightly fluttering, gazing toward the abyss, she said to Wuwo, "Senior Brother, shall we charge in?"
