After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's voice, Empress Yao Xi suddenly opened her eyes.

not good!

Qin Chuan's expression changed drastically. He saw an unusual blush appear on Empress Yao Xi's beautiful face.

Not only that, her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, had become incredibly dreamy, unlike her usual noble and calm demeanor.

In that instant, Qin Chuan recalled the scene when he first met Empress Yao Xi, who was in a similar state.

But this time, her symptoms seemed to have become more severe.

Driven by instinct, Qin Chuan immediately turned and ran backward.

But how could he escape? In an instant, Empress Yaoxi grabbed him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Senior Yaoxi! Senior Yaoxi! It's me!"

Qin Chuan shouted loudly, trying to wake the other person up.

But to no avail at all.

Soon, a hot breath wafted towards him, followed by those crimson lips.

Qin Chuan's eyes widened, and his mind went completely blank.

"Wow!"

As the kiss grew more intense, Qin Chuan's robes were instantly torn to shreds.

Clothes fluttered in the wind, her jade-like body lay sprawled, a scene of spring unfolded quietly, yet no one appreciated it…

……

Who knows how many days later.

Qin Chuan had a splitting headache and woke up groggily.

Then he saw Empress Yaoxi, dressed in a phoenix robe, standing not far away with her back to him.

"Hurry up and get dressed!"

Just then, Empress Yaoxi's voice drifted over.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan immediately looked down at himself and realized that he was completely naked.

Not only that, but there were also many bloody marks all over his body, which showed how fierce the battle was.

As Qin Chuan put on his robe, he complained, "I wonder who did this before. Now that they're dressed, they don't recognize anyone!"

"This is all your fault!"

Empress Yaoxi turned around, looking at Qin Chuan with a face full of shame and anger, "If I hadn't lent you the little bit of cultivation I had painstakingly accumulated, how could I have suffered the backlash of this Other Shore Flower Spring Poison?"

Hearing this, Qin Chuan awkwardly touched his nose. Now that he was told, it was indeed his fault that he had messed things up and caused the current situation.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Qin Chuan tentatively asked, "Is it really that serious?"

"It's more serious than you think!"

Empress Yaoxi said solemnly, "This other shore flower spring poison is even more domineering than I thought. It seems to have a spirit, and it is usually in a dormant state."

Taking advantage of the moment when you were distracted by your cultivation, it launched a frenzied attack on me as if it had found an opportunity.

If you had arrived any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Upon hearing Empress Yaoxi's words, Qin Chuan frowned, feeling a pang of guilt. He hadn't expected things to turn out so seriously.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Chuan sighed and said, "In that case, I can no longer borrow your cultivation level from you at will."

Empress Yaoxi shook her head and corrected, "It's not that it's casual, it's that it's impossible."

Qin Chuan was taken aback, "Not even in a life-or-death situation?"

"Unless it's a situation where you're certain to die, it's impossible," Empress Yaoxi said seriously.

Qin Chuan frowned and asked, "Why?"

A hint of solemnity appeared on Empress Yaoxi's expression as she slowly said, "Because the person who caused me to fall to this state probably knows that I am still alive."

"That Nine Heavens Empress?"

"Yes, it's her!"

"What should we do then?" Qin Chuan frowned, his face showing an unprecedented seriousness.

Empress Yaoxi had already stated that she was forced to come to this lower realm because she was plotted against by Empress Jiutian.

Since this Nine Heavens Empress is also called an Empress, she must be someone with extremely strong cultivation in the Upper Realm.

Now that Empress Yaoxi is seriously injured and his cultivation level is still so low, how could he possibly be a match for her?

Empress Yaoxi sighed and said, "By lending you my cultivation twice, I may have revealed my aura, which is why she discovered some clues."

"Will she come looking for us?" Qin Chuan asked.

Empress Yaoxi nodded. "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's expression turned somewhat grim. The thought of having an enemy of that caliber made him feel uncertain.

Seemingly sensing Qin Chuan's nervousness, Empress Yao Xi comforted him, "However, you don't need to worry too much. There are laws governing the heavens and earth between the Upper Realm and this Lower Realm."

Ascending to the upper realm is easy, but descending from the upper realm to this lower realm is extremely difficult; the stronger one is, the more restrictions one faces.

Even if one could come down, it would come at a huge cost; it's not something that can be done simply by wanting to.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but not entirely.

He knew that Empress Yaoxi wouldn't speak without reason; she must have discovered something to tell him these things.

After a long silence, Qin Chuan asked, "If we no longer need to borrow your cultivation, will the Nine Heavens Empress be unable to find our current location?"

Empress Yaoxi nodded. "Logically, that's how it should be."

The reason I am so worried is because I have sensed that people from the upper realm have come to this lower realm, and I suspect they may be people from the Nine Heavens Empress's side.

Qin Chuan said in a deep voice, "Alright, I'll try my best not to provoke those powerful enemies in the future."

Originally, because of Empress Yaoxi's existence, he would not be afraid at all even if he encountered someone much stronger.

Just like Gu Wenxuan.

But from now on, for the sake of their own lives, they may have to be more restrained.

Otherwise, if they were to borrow Empress Yaoxi's power, they would face an even greater crisis.

With this in mind, Qin Chuan looked at Empress Yao Xi and said earnestly, "Senior Yao Xi, you should rest well. I will be careful."

"Ah."

Seeing that Qin Chuan had taken her words to heart, Empress Yao Xi nodded.

……

After leaving the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace, Qin Chuan still felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

After all, the threat posed by the Nine Heavens Empress is not something that a mere Xuan King like him can handle at present.

Putting these thoughts aside, Qin Chuan had just stepped out of the main hall when he bumped into Yin Jiaojiao, who was walking towards him.

"Brother Qin, you're finally out!" Yin Jiaojiao exclaimed with delight.

Qin Chuan was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

Yin Jiaojiao quickly said, "It's been two days since your life-or-death duel. Sister Guan and I haven't seen you come out, and we've been very worried about you..."

"Two days..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's lips twitched, and he felt as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.

One day outside is equivalent to one hundred days in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Furnace, which means he was tortured for half a year.

Half a year!

Thinking about this, Qin Chuan felt a dull ache in his kidneys, wondering if it was just his imagination.

"correct!"

Seemingly remembering something, Yin Jiaojiao quickly said, "Brother Qin, a group of disciples have been coming to Falling Leaf Peak for the past two days, saying they absolutely must see you."

Because of what you asked me to do before, I turned down all my appointments, but they come every day.

She paused for a moment before continuing, "Now these disciples are here again. I originally came to call you on a whim, but I didn't expect you to actually come out."

"A group of disciples?"

Qin Chuan frowned, wondering what these people were doing here.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Then let them in."

"it is good!"

Before long, Yin Jiaojiao arrived in front of Qin Chuan with more than twenty disciples.

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Among these people, he saw Zhao Zhigang and Pei Hong, among others.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes; it seemed that after teaching them a lesson last time, they had sent even more people to seek revenge this time.

Before Qin Chuan could speak, all the disciples suddenly bowed deeply, their voices deafening.

"Senior Brother Qin, we've come to apologize to you!" [From January 23rd to February 24th, 2025, the "Author Team Showdown" is in full swing on Qimao Free Novels. Come support us! PAD gifts and selected merchandise are waiting for you to win!]
