Chapter 798: In the Lun Hui Pool, the Nine Empresses Attain the Dao

Hua Qiangu asked directly, "Is His Majesty tired of us?"

"Those newcomers may be beautiful, but in terms of cultivation and the time spent by his side, how can they compare to us?"

Bai Suzhen sighed, "Perhaps all men are fickle and prefer the new over the old."

"Even an existence like His Majesty cannot escape such commonality."

Zixia bit her lip, "But I am not reconciled to this."

"We have accompanied His Majesty in battle for so long, how can we lose to those new vixens?"

Just as the women were discussing this, footsteps were heard outside the hall.

"Your Majesties."

Xuan Nü walked in and bowed respectfully.

"Why have you come?"

Sima Xue frowned slightly.

Although Xuan Nü was also a consort, her status was far below that of the nine great empresses.

Xuan Nü smiled slightly, "This servant has come under His Majesty's orders."

"His Majesty?"

The empresses were all startled.

Xuan Nü nodded, "His Majesty asked this servant to convey a message to you, Your Majesties."

"At the hour of the Rat tonight, His Majesty will be waiting at the Lun Hui Pool."

"Please, all nine of you, go there together."

After speaking, she bowed and withdrew.

The nine great empresses looked at each other.

"The Lun Hui Pool?"

Ao Bizhu was puzzled.

"What does His Majesty intend to do?"

Sima Xue pondered for a moment, "We will know once we go and see."

That night, at the hour of the Rat.

The Lun Hui Pool was located behind Lingxiao Hall and was a sacred ground constructed by Lin Xuan using the laws of reincarnation.

The pool water appeared in six colors, corresponding to the six paths of reincarnation.

The nine great empresses arrived on time.

They had dressed up meticulously, each wearing thin gauze, displaying their graceful figures to the fullest.

Lin Xuan stood by the pool with his back to them.

The moonlight spilled onto him, further highlighting his transcendent aura.

"You have come."

His voice was calm, yet it made the nine women tremble in their hearts.

Sima Xue stepped forward, "His Majesty summoned us, so this concubine dared not delay."

Lin Xuan still did not turn around, "Do you know why I have been neglecting you?"

This question left the nine women stunned.

Sima Xue bit her lip, "Has His Majesty... grown tired of us?"

"Tired of you?"

Lin Xuan finally turned around.

His gaze was gentle, yet carried the majesty of an emperor.

"Do you truly think I am the type of person to be fickle?"

He walked toward the nine women, his gaze sweeping over each one.

"I favor the newcomers because they need the nourishment of my laws to make breakthroughs."

"Their foundations are still shallow and require external help."

Lin Xuan walked up to Sima Xue and gently stroked her cheek.

"As for you nine, you are already at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm."

"If I were to bestow laws upon you casually, it would instead affect your foundations."

"Power forcibly elevated is, in the end, not as stable as what one comprehends oneself."

The nine great empresses suddenly realized the truth.

So, His Majesty's neglect was not because he preferred the new over the old.

It was because he did not want them to rely on external forces and affect their future achievements.

"Your Majesty..."

Tears welled up in Zhao Ling'er's eyes.

"This concubine misunderstood you."

The other empresses also showed expressions of shame.

Lin Xuan shook his head, "I do not blame you."

"I did not explain clearly, causing you to worry."

He looked toward the Lun Hui Pool, "Calling you here tonight, the time has come."

"The time?"

Sima Xue was confused.

Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "You have all lingered at the peak of Quasi-Saint for too long."

"Tonight, I shall assist you in charging toward the Supreme Realm."

The Supreme Realm!

The nine women were shocked in unison.

That was a legendary realm; throughout the history of the entire Middle Plane, few had ever reached it.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Ao Bizhu's voice trembled with excitement.

Lin Xuan raised his hand, and the Law of Lun Hui surged within the pool.

The six-colored pool water began to rotate, forming a massive vortex.

In the center of the vortex, an independent space appeared.

"This is an Enlightenment Space I have constructed using the Law of Lun Hui."

"Cultivating inside for one day is equivalent to a hundred years in the outside world."

"Moreover, with the blessing of the Law of Lun Hui, your chances of breaking through will be greatly increased."

He gestured to the nine women: "Go in."

"I will guard you from the outside."

The nine Empress Consorts looked at each other, their eyes filled with emotion.

So, His Majesty had already prepared everything for them long ago.

"Many thanks, Your Majesty!"

They bowed in unison, then entered the Lun Hui Pool one by one.

The pool water was as warm and smooth as jade; upon entering, they felt the rich aura of the Dao.

The Law of Lun Hui circulated around them, guiding their insights.

Sima Xue was the first to enter a state of sudden enlightenment.

She cultivated the Imperial Dao, which was most compatible with the Law of Lun Hui.

Under the guidance of the power of Lun Hui, she saw the true meaning of the cycle of life and death.

"So that is how it is..."

"The end of the Imperial Dao is the control over the Lun Hui of all living beings."

Her aura began to surge, and the bottleneck of the Quasi-Saint peak loosened.

Zhao Ling'er cultivated the Sword Dao.

In the Lun Hui, she saw the birth and death of a sword.

A sword from forging to breaking, from brilliance to decay—this was Lun Hui.

"The Sword Dao is impermanent; only Lun Hui is eternal."

She attained enlightenment, and the Immortal sword in her hand emitted a clear chime.

The other Empress Consorts also gained their own insights.

Ao Bizhu grasped the Lun Hui of Water.

Hua Qiangu understood the Dao of life and death.

Bai Suzhen fathomed the cycle of emotion.

Lin Xuan sat cross-legged by the pool, guarding them.

His divine sense enveloped the entire space, ensuring there was no interference.

Time passed bit by bit.

On the first day, the pool water began to boil.

On the second day, strange phenomena appeared in the sky.

On the third day, nine pillars of light shot into the sky.

Boom!

With a loud noise, Sima Xue was the first to break through.

A Supreme pressure erupted from her body, and the entire heaven and earth trembled.

Immediately after, the other eight women broke through one after another.

Nine Supreme auras shot into the sky, stirring the clouds and winds.

Above Lingxiao Hall, phoenixes cried out and divine dragons circled.

Countless Immortal flowers bloomed in the Void, and an aura of auspiciousness enveloped the entire Lun Hui Star Domain.

"It is done."

Lin Xuan revealed a satisfied smile.

The nine Empress Consorts walked out of the pool, each one reborn.

Their auras were as vast as the sea; they were already true Supreme powerhouses.

"Many thanks for Your Majesty's grace!"

The nine women knelt in unison, their eyes filled with gratitude.

Lin Xuan helped them up one by one.

"You are my primary consorts; you naturally should possess the strength worthy of this position."

"In the future, when we conquer the Upper Plane, you will be my right-hand women."

Sima Xue held Lin Xuan's hand: "This concubine is willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty."

The other Empress Consorts also expressed the same sentiment.

After this night, the atmosphere in the inner palace changed completely.

The nine great empresses no longer felt jealous, instead taking the initiative to help the newly arrived concubines cultivate.

On the third day after the nine great empresses broke through to the Supreme realm, the winds and clouds over the Lun Hui Star Domain changed color.

The Void was suddenly torn open by a ten-thousand-foot rift, and golden light poured down from the crack.

A giant ship slowly sailed out from the rift.

This ship was ten thousand feet long, cast entirely from Nine Heavens Divine Gold, and its hull was carved with complex array patterns.

The pressure emitted by the ship's hull alone caused the Void to tremble incessantly.

Standing at the bow was a middle-aged man wearing a purple-gold robe and a jade crown.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze disdainful, as if looking down upon ants.

This person was none other than Murong Tian, the Inspector of the Taixuan Divine Dynasty.

The Taixuan Divine Dynasty was one of the hegemon powers of the upper planes, governing hundreds of middle planes.

As an Inspector, Murong Tian was responsible for patrolling various lower realms to scout for talented prodigies.
