Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

”Clang!”

The Ugly Little Chick tilted its small head, looking at Qin Yu, its lively eyes seeming puzzled.

It seemed curious, why had this Human Race’s body temperature increased?

It glanced again at the Empress’s back, its eyes pure as gems, filled with confusion and puzzlement.

Clearly, it couldn’t understand what was so attractive that made Qin Yu so obsessed.

”Stay put.”

Qin Yu snapped back to reality, gently rubbed its fluffy little head with his fingers, and casually placed it in his arms.

The Ugly Little Chick struggled to poke its head out, only to find that the finger that was so comfortable to be stroked by was pressed against someone else.

Immediately, a hint of dissatisfaction with human-like expression flashed in those eyes.

Qin Yu remained unmoved, his finger gently falling on the Empress’s shoulder and neck. The delicate and tender touch made his fingers tremble lightly, and if it weren’t for the person in front being the majestic Empress, he would have wanted to feel this intoxicating touch with both hands.

The Empress’s eyes slightly relaxed. As Qin Yu’s fingers kneaded, a warm energy gradually flowed into her body, calming her previously turbulent Dao Heart.

Since experiencing Qin Yu’s massage, the Empress no longer cared for the Empress Dowager’s services.

Truly, there’s no harm without comparison!

Qin Yu was skilled, feeling the Empress’s body gradually relaxing, yet he was not the least bit hasty. He gently kneaded along the slightly tensed muscles, each press just right, soothing the fatigue without causing any discomfort.

The fingertips slowly slid along the spine, the pressure shifting from light to heavy, then back from heavy to light.

When Qin Yu’s fingers reached the slender waist, his mind wavered, as if driven by a ghostly force, he gently clasped his palm, tightly pressed against the delicate waist through the thin fabrics.

At this moment, Qin Yu could clearly sense how... graceful and charming the Empress, who commanded awe across the land, was.

He truly didn’t know how such a wondrous body bore the burden of the Great Yan Immortal Country.

Feeling the warm palm on her waist, the Empress’s calm breathing paused slightly.

This was the first time Qin Yu touched her like this. She always felt that this guy’s hand was somewhat unruly, but as he rubbed, a soothing sensation flooded into her body.

The Empress emptied her thoughts, her body gradually relaxing, swaying gently in the spring breeze like a blooming flower.

The Ugly Little Chick, perhaps because it had not been born for long, watched this boring scene and unknowingly dozed off in Qin Yu’s arms.

The room was quiet, except for Qin Yu’s somewhat heavy breathing.

After an unknown period of time, Qin Yu’s palm was suddenly shaken off.

”Your Majesty?”

Qin Yu was taken aback, a wave of panic rising in his heart.

Earlier, he seemed quite proper. He had exerted all efforts to restrain himself and did not think wildly. Even if he did, his fingers never touched any forbidden area.

Why did the Empress suddenly...

”Return to that space first, and wait for me to summon you.”

The Empress slowly sat up from the bed, and when she stood, she was already clad in an imposing Dragon Robe, her slightly disheveled hair gently tied by a dragon-shaped hairpin.

At this moment, the Empress exuded majesty, her entire being radiating an unparalleled might, leaving one in awe.

An array of surprise and doubt surged in Qin Yu’s heart. Faced with such a dignified Empress, he didn’t hesitate, his mind shifted, retreating into the Lifebound Space.

The Ugly Little Chick, initially sound asleep in his arms, seemed to sense a change in environment, its body slightly relaxed, its plump wings spreading as if stretching lazily.

Perhaps sensing the uniqueness of the Lifebound Space, the Ugly Little Chick slept even more soundly, its little head snugly resting against Qin Yu’s chest.

Qin Yu glanced at the Ugly Little Chick, seeing it still asleep, he didn’t disturb it.

At this moment, he was filled with confusion over the Empress’s reaction, not rushing to find his little wives, but sitting alone atop a mountain peak, the space before him twisted, displaying the scene from outside.

Unbeknownst to him, the Empress’s Flying Carriage had already ceased flight, quietly hovering in mid-air.

The Empress stood alone at the front of the Flying Carriage, her figure exuding a commanding stature that seemed to dominate the heavens, even a glance at her sufficed to instill a sense of reverence.

”Someone’s coming?”

Qin Yu’s gaze swept over the scene, seeing for the first time the Empress show such a solemn expression.

Her change in attitude surely stemmed from sensing something unusual!

But what kind of presence could warrant such cautious treatment from the Empress?

In the distant foothills, beneath the waterfall.

The Beauty Clan Leader lay leisurely on the lawn, watching a few young women play with water, while beside, the Sect Leader and Liu Zixiao played chess.

In fact, the Beauty Clan Leader was quite interested in these chess games, never having seen such novel objects, but she couldn’t let go of her dignity, especially when Su Xihe cast her meaningful glances, causing her inevitable guilt.

She was coerced in the first place, yet caught by Su Xihe, this shameful feeling made it hard for her to face.

Suddenly, the Beauty Clan Leader seemed to sense something, her gaze shifting toward the distant mountain peak, and her mind followed.

”Hmm?”

When the Beauty Clan Leader saw Qin Yu sitting there alone, she paused momentarily, then promptly retracted her mind.

This guy, why was he acting different today?

Every time he returned to this magical space before, he would meet Tu Jiujiu, followed by all sorts of indecent scenarios.

What was he doing there alone?

Could it be because during the day his Dao Companions were all here, so he deliberately wanted to lure this Clan Leader over?

The Beauty Clan Leader felt curious, but upon pondering this possibility, she immediately quashed her curiosity.

She wouldn’t be as foolish as the little fox, not giving this guy any chances!

”Buzz...”

Outside, a peculiar ripple spread, and at this moment, the air throughout the heavens seemed to halt its flow.

The Empress slightly turned her body, her gaze directed forward.

On the horizon, golden light suddenly flickered, and then a figure gradually appeared.

The entire figure was shrouded in a profound aura, making it impossible to see its true form. However, vaguely discernible, the figure appeared burly and imposing.

Clad in a majestic dragon robe, it shimmered resplendently in the sunlight. Even without any movement, an undeniable aura of majesty and dominance emanated from it, as if all things in the world were under its control.

”Emperor?!”

Upon seeing the figure in the scene, Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed. The aura emanating from this figure was in no way inferior to the Empress.

It was easy to see that this entity must be a supremely powerful Emperor!

In the scene, the entire world became a distinct region, one centered around the Empress, while the other flooded with golden light exuded supreme majesty.

”Emperor Yan.”

That figure’s gaze focused intently on the Empress before the flying carriage, the solemn voice quietly resonated in the air.

”I am unaware of why Emperor Qin would grace my Great Yan Immortal Country with his presence?”

The Empress elegantly tilted her head upwards, showing not the slightest hint of fear, her gaze meeting the figure across the sky, and asked calmly.

”Emperor Qin?”

Upon hearing this title, Qin Yu’s expression changed suddenly.

Since setting foot in the Great Yan Imperial Capital, he had heard numerous legends about the Emperor of the Great Qin.

A singular emperor through the ages, the only existence in the world whose spiritual power had reached divine levels, a force of unparalleled might!

Any of his deeds were enough to become legends, revered by the people!

Among the Nine Immortal Countries, the Emperor of Great Qin was undoubtedly the foremost Emperor!

The power of the Great Yan Empress was said to rank among the top three Emperors, unlike her counterpart, the Emperor of Great Qin needed no proof, and the title of the foremost Emperor was beyond dispute.

The Great Qin Immortal Country did not border the Great Yan Immortal Country. Why would this foremost Emperor traverse countless miles to suddenly arrive at the Great Yan Immortal Country?

”Shouldn’t the Empress know what my purpose is?”

The towering figure spoke slowly, the majesty in his voice allowing no room for doubt.

”Could it be that Emperor Qin has sensed the disturbances in the Endless Fire Domain?”

The Empress’s eyes narrowed slightly, even if she was the Great Yan Empress, facing this foremost Emperor, she still felt somewhat uneasy.

Long before she ascended to the throne, Emperor Qin was already the undisputed first Emperor.

It could even be said that on her path to growth, she once regarded this entity as a model, a target.

”Indeed.”

Emperor Qin did not conceal it, nodding slightly.

Upon hearing this, the Empress was startled internally.

Even as the ruler of the Great Yan Immortal Country, it was only through her subtle connection with the Great Yan Immortal Country that she detected the abnormality in the Endless Fire Domain.

Emperor Qin, from countless miles away, could actually sense the anomaly in the Endless Fire Domain?

To what terrifying extent had Emperor Qin’s power reached?

However, thinking of that ugly little chicken Qin Yu brought back, the Empress seemed to deduce some clues.

Emperor Qin had mastered several Powers of Dao Rhyme, unknown to all, but he had demonstrated before the world his mastery over Fire Attribute Dao Rhyme Power.

Clearly, this supreme presence must have sensed the nurturing of that egg on the Parasol Divine Tree.

”Did Emperor Qin perhaps visit the Endless Fire Domain?”

The Empress’s voice was calm as she asked.

”I am late.”

The towering figure quietly regarded the Empress and said, ”I hope the Empress can tell me what transpired in the Endless Fire Domain.”

”Since Emperor Qin visited, surely there were discoveries?”

The Empress was somewhat surprised, casting an unnatural glance inside the compartment of the flying carriage.

The Emperor of Great Qin had indeed visited the Endless Fire Domain, but did not linger there, instead catching up with her. It was likely that he too had not seen the Parasol Divine Tree!

In fact, like her, the Emperor of Great Qin had not sensed the presence of the Parasol Divine Tree.

”This is merely one of my avatars; I cannot employ the Power of Retrospection.”

The towering figure shook his head, his gaze fixed on the Empress.

Just an avatar?

Qin Yu tightly observed the scene, somewhat incredulous.

Merely an avatar, yet it could exert such formidable pressure on the Empress?

Moreover, he mentioned ’retrospection’?

Isn’t that the legendary divine technique that only those revered as ’Venerable’ in the Unity Realm can wield?

Could it be that the Emperor of Great Qin has already touched upon the threshold of the Unity Realm?

At this moment, Qin Yu finally realized why the Emperor of Great Qin was hailed as a singular emperor through the ages, worthy of the name of the foremost Emperor.
