Princess Xiaoxian had thought that Qin Han Chu would be moved by her filial piety, but she was mistaken.
"Offer myself to you? You've certainly got a plan."
"Marrying your demoness would make her my mother-in-law, wouldn't it?"
"Leave quickly. I have no quarrel with you and don't want to kill the innocent."
"If you insist on testing my limits, then be prepared to lose your life."
As Qin Han Chu's words fell, a phantom sword glow appeared before the wooden house.
Princess Xiaoxian could feel the killing intent of the sword glow. Although unwilling, she dared not speak further nonsense.
Helpless, she could only return to the imperial palace, her body covered in wounds.
...
"This planet fits my criteria perfectly. This is it!"
In the starry sky, a middle-aged man stood in the void, gazing at the planet before him.
The planet he was fixated on was where Qin Han Chu was hiding.
This middle-aged man wore a purple robe, his brow exuding heroic spirit.
He first scanned the planet with his spiritual sense, then flew towards the direction of the Golden Dragon Kingdom's imperial palace.
In the great hall of the imperial palace, the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom was reviewing memorials.
But at that moment, the middle-aged immortal suddenly appeared before the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.
"Who are you!"
The King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom was startled by the sudden appearance of the middle-aged immortal and berated him angrily.
Although his words were imposing, his heart was filled with panic.
He was a martial god realm expert, yet the person before him had appeared without a sound.
He had many martial god realm experts protecting him.
These martial gods had not detected his presence!
"Do you wish to become a spirit immortal?" The middle-aged immortal did not get angry; he smiled.
The King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom looked at the middle-aged immortal in shock: "What do you mean?"
The middle-aged immortal said nothing. He flicked his finger, sending a beam of light into the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom's body.
Before the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom could react, he felt a surge of immense power coursing through his entire body.
Immediately after, he was shocked to discover that he had broken through his cultivation realm, reaching the legendary realm of spirit immortal.
"This..."
The King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom looked at the middle-aged immortal before him in disbelief.
With just a flick of his finger, he had reached the Spirit King realm. What kind of miraculous technique was this?
"Your humble servant pays his respects, esteemed elder. I beg your forgiveness for my earlier impudence!"
Remembering his previous attitude, the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom quickly rose to pay his respects and apologize.
The middle-aged immortal chuckled, "As long as you submit to me, I can not only make you a Spirit King, but also a Spirit God, or even higher realms!"
"What? Realms higher than Spirit God?"
"Who are you?"
The King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom could not believe his ears. The middle-aged man before him claimed he could help him reach realms higher than Spirit God?
The Spirit realm was already a legendary realm; what could be higher than that?
Most importantly, what kind of expert was this middle-aged man?
"In your terms, I am an Immortal!"
As he spoke, a terrifying whirlwind appeared in the middle-aged man's palm!
Seeing the whirlwind in the middle-aged man's palm, the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom's breathing became rapid with shock.
Merely looking at the whirlwind in his palm, the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom felt its terrifying power.
Commanding the wind and rain – this was truly the might of an immortal!
Thump!
The King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom knelt directly before the middle-aged man: "I pay my respects, Master!"
Seeing the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom's reaction, the middle-aged man revealed a satisfied smile.
"Here is a flask of immortal pills for you."
"With its help, you will reach Spirit Venerable within a year!"
Saying that, the middle-aged man presented a flask of pills to the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.
While the pills the middle-aged man gave the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom were only the lowest grade of immortal pills, they were sufficient to elevate the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom's strength to Spirit Venerable in a short period.
"Yes, as long as it is Master's arrangement, I will certainly comply."
The King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom respectfully received the flask of immortal pills.
"Find someone to paint my portrait, and then build temples for me in all the cities of the Golden Dragon Kingdom."
"I want all the citizens of the Golden Dragon Kingdom to worship me. Can you do it?"
The middle-aged man asked.
"Yes, it's a trivial matter. I will dispatch people to find the best painters immediately."
Although he didn't know what the middle-aged man was up to, since it was his Master's arrangement, how could the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom refuse?
"Hmm, and arrange a quiet residence for me."
The King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom nodded repeatedly, then said, "Master, I have a humble request."
The middle-aged immortal said, "Speak."
"My Empress has contracted a strange illness. Every midnight, she is tormented by pain worse than death. I implore Master to help her relieve her suffering."
The King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom treated his Empress quite well; even at this moment, he was still thinking of curing her illness.
"She is likely poisoned."
"Here is an antidote immortal pill. It can cure all poisons."
The middle-aged immortal gave a pill to the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, who naturally thanked him profusely.
That afternoon, the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom arranged for the best painter in the imperial city to paint a portrait of the middle-aged immortal.
After obtaining the portrait, the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom had his subordinates print it overnight and deliver it by fast horse to the officials of each prefecture.
He intended to build temples for the middle-aged immortal in each prefecture.
At eleven o'clock at night, the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom arrived at the Empress's sleeping quarters.
At this moment, the Empress's body was trembling, her eyes filled with panic.
These days, she was tortured as if she were dying every day.
She was filled with fear at the approach of midnight.
"Your Majesty, why have you come?" Seeing the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, the Empress quickly rose to greet him.
"Empress, I have obtained an immortal pill for you."
"As long as you take it, you will no longer suffer after tonight."
Saying that, the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom handed the antidote immortal pill to the Empress.
"What is this?"
The Empress looked puzzled. Is this an immortal pill?
"No need to ask for now. I will explain in detail later."
The Empress hesitated for a moment, then took the antidote immortal pill and swallowed it.
"Trust me, this will surely help you," said the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, seeing the Empress's hesitant expression.
There was little hope in the Empress's eyes.
She had tried every method these past few days, but none had worked.
The immortal pill given by the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom would likely be of no use either.
Just then, the Empress's maid came in with ropes.
"Your Highness, please forgive me."
To prevent the Empress from harming herself, the maid would tie her up every midnight.
"No need to tie her up. The Empress will not suffer tonight."
The King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom was full of confidence, as his Master was an immortal.
With an immortal's immortal pill, it was naturally a guaranteed cure.
Seeing the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom say that, the maids had no choice but to retreat.
"Your Majesty is so confident?"
The Empress was somewhat bewildered. Why was the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom so certain that he could cure her?
"Of course. I have a secret to tell you later."
The secret the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom mentioned was naturally his achievement of the Spirit King realm.
As for the matter of the middle-aged immortal, he had no intention of hiding it.
