Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Chapter 301 Digging

"Essence and blood are easily dispersed, so Benefactor Ye should find a way to preserve them."

The monk Puxuan left a message, and then the five monks respectfully bowed to Dimu, sat down around Dimu, and strange patterns appeared in their hands.

"Do you know how to store it? Separate the three drops." Ye Wuxi asked Ye Lao Er, knowing she probably wouldn't be using it anytime soon.

"Put it in a white jade bottle, and I'll set up a restriction," Ye Lao Er said nonchalantly.

Ye Wuxi nodded and looked at the Emperor Tree. At this moment, the enormous Emperor Tree was shimmering with mysterious light from its trunk to its leaves.

It took a full quarter of an hour before a single drop of bright red blood flew out, exuding a strong life force.

Ye Wuxi quickly put it into a white jade bottle and handed it to Ye Lao Er to operate.

The monks repeated the process twice more, and finally succeeded in obtaining the three drops of essence blood.

After extracting three drops of essence blood, Di Mu was much dimmer than before, but it was still full of vitality, with subtle Daoist charm flowing through it.

The five monks couldn't help but sigh. At present, the Emperor Wood could only extract three drops of essence blood, and the next time would have to wait for a hundred years.

With all essence and blood lost, the time required for the Daoist energy to recover will be longer. However, the current situation is better than the previous lifeless state; something is better than nothing, at least there is still hope.

"Wang Kong, take Benefactor Ye to retrieve the diamond."

"Can't you just give it to me directly..." Ye Wuxi couldn't help but complain.

“Benefactor Ye, you may not know this, but this diamond was born of heaven and earth. Even this humble monk cannot move it. Whether you can obtain it depends on your fate.”

Wang Kong explained, his expression remaining calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by what had just happened.

"So you were just kidding me when you said you'd give me a diamond."

Ye Wuxi rolled her eyes. These monks always talk about fate, but there's no such thing as fate. No wonder they agreed to the diamond so readily; they knew she couldn't take it.

“Benefactor Ye, please!” Wang Kong made a gesture without changing his expression.

"I'm going to move out of here today, no matter what." Ye Wuxi snorted coldly; she wouldn't leave until they moved out.

Soon, the group followed Wang Kong to a quiet courtyard, in the center of which was a golden stone the size of a head.

boom!

Ye Wuxi unleashed his power to try and move the stone, but the golden stone remained unmoved.

"Hmm?" Ye Wuxi didn't believe it and stepped forward again, using the power of the Four Symbols to try and move it with his hands, but it still wouldn't budge.

"This cat is coming." Ye Lao Er jumped out, and a terrifying devouring power swept out, but he couldn't suck up the stone no matter what he did.

"Meow~ What the heck? Has the diamond come to life?"

"Second brother, can you set up an overwhelming restriction that even the Buddha cannot detect? I want to try it with a tree," Ye Wuxi transmitted his voice.

"No, the Buddha's cultivation is too high. It's not safe to be on someone else's territory. How about we try digging?"

"Good idea!" Ye Wuxi had an idea. He held the Demon Sword in his hand and tossed the tip to Ye Lao Er. If they couldn't move the stone, they would uproot the surrounding land as well.

As long as she doesn't actively use killing to trigger the power of the demonic sword, the demonic sword won't corrupt her mind; it will remain just an ordinary broken sword. But even an ordinary broken sword possesses the sharpness of a royal weapon.

The ground around the diamond was extremely hard and not easy to move, so the magic sword was the best tool.

"Benefactor Ye, what is this?" Wang Kong twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Mining diamonds, didn't you see?" Ye Wuxi sneered. She didn't believe those emperors had no way to do it. These stinky monks were clearly making things difficult for her, deliberately making her move the diamonds herself.

Unfortunately, she didn't know the reason, and now that her master had passed away, she was too embarrassed to trouble him again for such a small matter.

"I'll help you." A sharp weapon appeared in Yao Qianfeng's hand.

"Thank you."

The two people and the cat began digging around the land surrounding the diamond. After digging for a long time, they were not very successful. The diamond had been rooted in it for a long time, and the properties of the surrounding land had also changed.

"This humble monk will also lend you a hand." Wang Kong sighed and produced a golden hoe from somewhere.

The three people and one cat struggled to dig the ground.

"What is Wang Kong doing? Does he want outsiders to take away all the sacred relics of our Buddhist sect?" The middle-aged monk in plain clothes said in the shadows, exasperated.

"We're all so old, yet we're not as insightful as Wang Kong. We agreed and then played these little tricks. It's hardly an honorable thing to do," sighed the old monk Pu Xuan, then took a step.

"what are you doing!"

"This girl won't give up until she gets the diamond today. Do you want the Sword Emperor to come knocking on your door?" Pu Xuan said calmly as he appeared in the courtyard.

"Old monk, open the storage ring," said the old monk Puxuan, looking at Ye Wuxi.

Ye Wuxi snorted coldly, thinking that this old monk still had some Buddhist heart.

The old monk Puxuan radiated golden light, and the ground around the diamond slowly cracked open. Soon, a small piece of land rose from the ground, and the diamond on it flew into Ye Wuxi's storage ring.

"Thank you, Master Puxuan!" Ye Wuxi cupped his hands in thanks.

"Let me escort you all down the mountain," said the old monk Puxuan before disappearing again.

Outside of Buddhism.

Wang Kong clasped his hands together and nodded slightly. "Today's setbacks were not the intention of this humble monk or my master. I hope Benefactor Ye will not take offense."

"Master Wangkong, you're too kind." With such a large territory, all sorts of people naturally come and go. This Wangkong isn't a bad person, Ye Wuxi said, cupping his hands in greeting.

After leaving the Buddhist sect for quite some distance, Ye Wuxi and Yao Qianfeng stopped.

"Miss Ye, are you going back to Qingzhou?"

"Go and take a look around." Ye Wuxi shook his head and took out all the Bodhi beads. "I remember Brother Yao's kindness in asking your master to come. I have a use for those two items, so I cannot share them with you. I will give these to Brother Yao."

Although the Heavenly Demon Emperor didn't do anything, his mere presence served as a deterrent, allowing Master to fight the Buddha with peace of mind.

"It wasn't of any help. There's a place outside Qingluo City where the Holy Sect has a tradition of holding tea parties. Miss Ye, you don't need to worry about the location. We'll meet again at next year's tea party." Yao Qianfeng didn't accept the gift, but after giving a slight bow, he quickly left.

"How come you have a sycophant by your side while I was taking a nap?" Ye Lao Er said, pursing his lips as he watched Yao Qianfeng's disappearing figure.

"Watch your mouth." Ye Wuxi summoned Silver Moon Sail, and the two of them headed towards the Northern Continent.

"Why do you insist on having three drops of your essence blood?" Ye Lao Er finally realized and asked.

"One drop for you, one drop for myself, and one drop for the little tree." Ye Wuxi handed her a white jade bottle.

Ye Lao Er, clutching the jade bottle, paused, "You asked me for this..."

Ye Wuxi was extremely adamant, insisting on having three drops in front of the Sixth Emperor. She thought this girl was planning for Wang Jie's sake, but unexpectedly, she left her one drop.

"Of course, if I get a share, you can't be left out. Didn't you say this thing is very mysterious? It should be of some use to your recovery, right?"

Ye Wuxi nodded. Furthermore, after her trip to Di Mu, the small tree within her body had already changed somewhat. She had a hunch that the Bodhi essence blood could definitely accelerate the growth of the ancient tree within her body.

"You need to know that using this stuff in combination won't be a waste. The extra drop you have will make you safer when you become a king," Ye Lao Er said with a complicated expression.

"One drop is enough. If Heaven wants me to die, how can one or two drops of blood be enough to save me? When did you become so fussy?"

"You really are the dumbest and bravest human I've ever seen."
