Chapter 145 : What’s Wrong With Me?
Chapter 145: What’s Wrong With Me?
Imperial Palace, Yuhua Hall.
The bright moonlight was like a flawless, sacred veil, fine as silk.
Passing through the transparent lattice windows, it scattered fragmented radiance throughout the grand hall.
Inside, candle flames flickered.
The blooming hibiscus flowers were like clusters of blazing flames, burning fiercely, intertwining with the moonlight, their fragrance filling the air.
Amid the luxuriant blossoms—
Heavy breathing sounds mixed endlessly with soft, rippling, indulgent tones like water gently swaying.
“Your Majesty…”
Like spring water rippling, carrying a long, trembling tone, it lingered in the air, making one’s bones feel weak.
“Hahaha…”
Seeing the woman lost in passion,
her limbs soft and entwined,
Yu Taiyan could not help but burst into loud laughter, full of unrestrained indulgence and pleasure.
His entire body radiated heat, as if scorched by flames.
Veins bulged on his arms.
His whole body was like a maddened wild bull, eyes red as he rampaged.
The rippling sounds of spring water, mixed with trembling cries, seemed to be squeezed out from the throat.
They echoed through the hall like winding mountain paths, lingering endlessly.
Anyone who heard them would feel their blood boil.
Outside the hall—
The eunuch who had delivered the decree stood under the moonlight, blood still staining his body, head lowered like a pillar, not daring to move.
The indulgent sounds in his ears seemed incapable of distracting him in the slightest.
Only when the sounds within the hall gradually weakened and ceased did the eunuch tremble slightly.
Then he bent even lower.
“Creak!”
The hall doors opened, and Yu Taiyan appeared at the entrance. His voice, like flames not yet extinguished, rang out:
“She didn’t come?”
“Where is the imperial edict?”
Hearing this, the eunuch fell to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling:
“Fairy Yunqing said she had no time.”
“The edict… the edict was torn apart by Fairy Yunqing!”
“Your Majesty, please forgive me—this servant has failed!”
The eunuch’s entire body trembled.
Fairy Yunqing had a gentle nature and did not take it out on him—she only sent him flying, not seriously injuring him. That could already be considered magnanimous.
She likely understood the nature of the matter and held kindness in her heart, unwilling to implicate others.
Even this old eunuch delivering the decree felt that Fairy Yunqing was an exceptionally good person.
But the Emperor before him was different—moody and unpredictable, deciding life and death at a whim. No one dared to plead for mercy.
Once angered, almost no one survived.
Even more terrifying was that ever since three days ago, after speaking all night with the foreign Divine Realm expert Luo Xuan, the Emperor’s temperament had drastically changed.
In these three days, he had exhausted more than twenty palace consorts.
Each entered intact—but when they came out, they were nearly lifeless.
The person was the same, yet their skin was like flowers scorched by flames—withered and faded.
Twenty-two consorts had not survived even a short time.
Yet this Emperor before him had become more vigorous, his body stronger, his aura more terrifying.
At times, the indulgent sounds from the chambers lasted for over an hour.
Some consorts’ voices had even seemed to tear apart—from clear and pleasant to hoarse and low, until they disappeared entirely.
“No matter. A good dish is not afraid of being served late—she cannot escape!”
Yu Taiyan wore only a thin robe, his muscles bulging, his body even more powerful, still carrying the lingering scent of indulgence.
“I had intended to pass on the Yin-Yang Great Bliss Scripture to her, so she could serve me well.”
“Since she does not know what’s good for her, she cannot blame me!”
“She is just a beautiful woman—there are plenty in the world!”
His tone carried no clear anger or joy, but his eyes gleamed sharply.
“Dispose of the one inside.”
After speaking, Yu Taiyan strode into the darkness.
The Yin-Yang Great Bliss Scripture was a powerful dual cultivation method he had obtained from Luo Xuan.
Practiced alone, it became a domineering method of absorption.
Practiced together, it became the finest dual cultivation technique.
It was a rare art from the Central Region, perfectly suited for an emperor.
Once women entered the palace, he was the heavens—controlling everything.
With three thousand beauties in the harem, he had more than enough to indulge in—even two or three at once.
In just three days, twenty-two consorts had already pushed his cultivation into the Upper Tier of the Profound Realm.
If it were a Pure Yin Body, the effect would be even greater.
If he could seize her primal yin, he might even break into the Divine Realm.
Returning to Fengtian Hall, Yu Taiyan spoke:
“Attend me—issue a decree to the entire realm.”
“In three days, before the imperial palace, under the witness of six Divine Realm experts, a rally to attack the Immortal God Forbidden Zone will be held… mm, spread it under the name of a Pill Appreciation Gathering.”
“Invite martial artists from across the world to witness the Central Region’s supreme pills—the Ascension Pill and the Profound-Breaking Pill.”
“Profound Realm Grandmasters and Qi Realm martial artists alike may attend.”
“No late arrivals will be accepted!”
After speaking, Yu Taiyan walked step by step to the high platform and sat upon the dragon throne.
Like a ferocious true dragon, he overlooked the entire hall, his expression inscrutable.
Within three to five years, the path of the Divine Realm across the world would open.
This news alone would shake all Divine Realm experts.
Within the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, not a single person could open that path within three to five years.
Not even the Sword Saint.
In the Profound Realm, perhaps the Sword Saint’s Sword Heart path allowed breakthroughs at will.
But the Divine Realm required the union of essence, energy, and spirit, forming a divine ability seed with the momentum of heaven and earth.
This seed required nurturing by the momentum of heaven and earth to grow—consuming immense time.
Within three to five years, even the most talented would not succeed.
Thus, the most likely source of this opportunity was the Central Region or elsewhere.
In that case, opening the Immortal God Forbidden Zone was imperative.
Moreover, the life-extending divine medicine displayed by Luo Xuan was enough to tempt even Divine Realm experts.
Breaking through the forbidden zone could not be delayed.
“And this is also my best opportunity to enter the Divine Realm!”
Yu Taiyan’s eyes gleamed.
The Immortal God Forbidden Zone was not so easily conquered.
There would certainly be countless casualties—even the Sword God and Sword Saint could not guarantee their safety.
“When they leave…”
A smug smile appeared on his lips.
Once they departed, Li Yunqing would have no one to protect her.
At that time, she would be entirely at his mercy—a perfect opportunity to use her body to break into the Divine Realm.
“The Pure Yin Body can bring the most exquisite sensations to a man… I wonder what it feels like?”
“And Li Yunqing’s figure…”
Thinking of her full, upright chest and swaying hips like ripe peaches, Yu Taiyan’s eyes filled with longing, licking his lips.
He was not lustful—but when such matters were tied to power, even he could not resist.
“If a woman is as gentle as water, all men in the world are like me!”
Yu Taiyan murmured, his eyes filled only with indulgence.
Watching bodies collapse before him, limbs entwining—
Seeing soft, fragrant flesh swaying—
Hearing those intoxicating cries—
What man in the world could resist?
“The Divine Realm!”
“I will enter the Divine Realm!”
Ambition surged within him, his gaze turning cold.
“Perhaps I can even send the Old Ancestor to ascension—then, within the Great Yu, I alone will reign supreme!”
“I am the Mandate of Heaven!”
What happened in the palace, Li Yunqing naturally did not know.
At this moment, she was already immersed in the Pure Yin Dao.
Cloud Viewing Pavilion.
In the fragrant room, Li Yunqing lay on her bed, covered by a soft quilt, eyes closed, her entire face flushed.
Even though she had used the wondrous method of All Things Growth, invoking Winter Storage to connect with the Pure Yin Dao and conceal her abnormalities—
A faint, alluring fragrance still emanated from her body, filling the room.
It was a scent that could intoxicate the mind.
As if enticing the Yang Dao to unite with it, giving birth to all things.
This was the instinct of the Pure Yin Dao.
Also the instinct of heaven and earth’s yin and yang.
Only through their union could all things flourish.
At this moment, even Xiaolan, sleeping on the small bed behind the screen, seemed to be holding something tightly in her dream.
Morning came.
Sunlight slipped silently through the window lattice.
Purple Qi drifted like mist, settling upon Li Yunqing.
“Mm…”
She let out a soft murmur, her entire being languid as she opened her eyes.
Text flashed before her vision.
“Pure Yin True Intent: Major Completion (20% → 33%).”
“Yin Spirit: Major Completion (65% → 71%).”
“As expected… this is true cultivation!”
“In just five or six days, Pure Yin True Intent will reach Perfect Completion—then I will break through to the Profound Realm.”
“Become a Grandmaster!”
Li Yunqing sat up, hugging her quilt, rolling slightly, her expression relaxed and lazy.
With the Pure Yin Dao Body formed, even lying in a warm bed, her consciousness wandered within the Pure Yin Dao, comprehending the true intent of heaven and earth.
Even her Yin Spirit was nourished continuously.
She could even instinctively draw down Purple Solar Qi to nourish herself.
“I love this Pure Yin Dao Body!”
“This is practically tailor-made for enjoying life!”
She murmured, glancing at the sky outside.
“Xiaolan, wake up.”
“Let’s go to the martial hall early today—I have something to ask Master.”
Without a Profound Realm cultivation method, she needed to consult her master to prepare for her breakthrough.
A proper method was the foundation for the Profound Realm and beyond.
It could not be taken lightly.
“I’m coming!”
Xiaolan’s voice came from behind the screen, her hands covering her flushed face.
“What’s going on? Why do I keep having these dreams?”
“And always about Miss…”
“This time it was even worse… I even took off my undergarments!”
“What’s wrong with me?”
Xiaolan cried inwardly, not daring to delay. Just as she tried to get up, her body suddenly stiffened.
She was clearly in a warm bed—
So why did she feel cool?
