第一千二百二十五章 身纳界恶念

Empty Void Fairy, with her breathtaking beauty, had many admirers in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The miraculous effects of the Yin-Yang Jade could drive all cultivators to madness.

Apart from her unique nature, Empty Void seemed to have a hidden background as well.

High-ranking officials within the alliance whispered that she was a pet of some Transmission Master. Not only did she come from a small world exclusive to Transmitters, but even the half fragment of Heavenly Oddity in her body had been implanted. The purpose was to harvest after cultivation.

The saying "a wind in an empty cave" wasn't without basis. The Heavenly Essence Soul of Empty Void's realm of union, named 'Yao Se', was one of many cultivated and stored by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Yet she quietly used it for her own realm of union, and the alliance never made any public statement about it.

Moreover, over thirty years ago, a certain Qin cultivator who had just ascended to the realm of union fell in love with Empty Void at first sight. His pursuit failed, leading him to plot using cunning schemes to forcibly possess her. Not only did he disappear from the world, but so did his prominent Qin family.

Sun Luoyuan was not deterred by the possibility of Empty Void's special identity; instead, it strengthened his resolve to choose her as a sacrificial offering. He came to his brother Sun Luoya and wanted to use the Heavenly Profound Mirror to pinpoint her current location.

"Brother, are you sure about this?" Sun Luoya was puzzled.

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is still completely unaware of the Holy Dynasty's Great Opening. I'm merely inviting the world-renowned Empty Void Fairy to a small world within our alliance for a scenic tour. What could possibly be wrong with that?" Sun Luoyuan smiled.

"Someone like Empty Void Fairy would have no danger in the Holy Dynasty, so you can rest assured."

What Sun Luoyuan didn't reveal was his ulterior motives. Besides pleasing the Holy Dynasty, he wanted to test the strength of Great Opening through Empty Void's influence.

"If I couldn't even deal with a Transmission Master, how could I compete with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?" Sun Luoyuan thought silently.

Sun Luoyuan didn't know that his every move was under the watchful eye of the Holy Emperor of Great Opening.

How could he hide from Li Fan, who had experienced countless lifetimes?

"Empty Void Fairy," a beautiful face appeared before Emperor Li Ping.

"It's good. My disciples are indeed old enough. If I can give birth to some prodigies for our Great Opening, it would be a joy."

As for the existence behind Empty Void, Li Ping wasn't particularly concerned.

But Sun Luoyuan's clever actions earned him a special mark from Li Ping.

"Your deeds today will have their rewards."

This small matter was just one of many images flashing in the mind of the faceless Holy Emperor as he sat on his throne. It didn’t stir any emotion within him.

Li Ping’s main focus at present was still on the [Yao World] and the derivation of new techniques.

Since sending a portion of the Yao Clan to fill the energy gap in the Dark Sea, Li Ping felt an increasing level of favor from the Xuanhuang Heavens.

Not long after assisting Tianyang in his realm of union, he could now manipulate and call upon far more heavenly power than before—almost tenfold.

With greater control came a mysterious urge from the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao that increasingly appeared in Li Ping’s mind.

As the future of Great Opening rested on this body, Li Ping wouldn’t act rashly. He recalled the scene of his connection with the Heavenly Dao.

A desolate desert landscape stretched before him, gray and lifeless.

In the center stood a towering stone mountain that seemed to connect heaven and earth.

At the top of the stone mountain sat an old man.

Behind the old man was a coffin. Even though it was just an感应 image, Li Ping could still sense the decay and evil emanating from it, causing him slight discomfort.

"The malice of the Xuanhuang World sealed away."

Li Ping knew why the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao kept urging him on. Part of his essence had been sealed, reducing its power. As a result, after the Great Tribulation of [Techniques Cannot Be Practiced Simultaneously] thousands of years ago, it no longer released any means to target cultivators.

If he could regain that lost power, perhaps things would change for the better.

But...

Even from afar, Li Ping seemed to sense the unsettling presence beneath the coffin.

"If this malice were allowed to return and remain repressed for so long by cultivators, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao would undoubtedly undergo extreme changes. This might not be good for human cultivators or even the Xuanhuang World itself."

"But replenishing the power of the Xuanhuang World’s Heavenly Dao is indeed worth doing."

Almost instantaneously, Emperor Li Ping made his decision.

He would first absorb this malice.

Once he had reshaped the cosmos and returned to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, that power would naturally return to the Xuanhuang World.

Until then, it was in his hands rather than those of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao...

In Li Ping’s view, there was no difference. With his current strength, taming the Xuanhuang malice carried some risk, especially with the cultivator named Xu Ke guarding it. So he wouldn’t act rashly until fully prepared.

The urging from the Xuanhuang World, he ignored.

There was a valuable lesson within the Holy Dynasty for dealing with world powers—Yin Shangren.

As a manifestation of other worlds' residual souls, Yin Shangren had extensive experience in battling world consciousness. However, there seemed to be some taboo. Li Ping’s repeated inquiries met with rare silence from Yin Shangren.

Fortunately, he was busy researching the potential breakthroughs for new techniques, so Li Ping didn’t press him further.

"The will of the world..."

Without Yin Shangren's help, Li Ping had to rely on himself to find a solution.

In his memory, there were still fragments of other worlds in the Xuanhuang World that retained their consciousness. Perhaps interacting with them could yield some results.

With this thought, Li Ping appeared at the entrance to Great Opening’s small world, Congyunhai.

The first thing he saw was the Heaven Soul about to be born—Red Flame.

Feeling his presence, Red Flame transmitted a sense of confusion.

Li Ping didn’t interfere with the process of Red Flame burning the sea. He knew that this was an essential step for these fragments of other worlds to truly integrate into the Xuanhuang World.
