Chapter 158 Bestowing the Elixir of Immortality, the Human Race Lacks an Emperor

Looking at the graceful and delicate young girl bowing before him, Chen Xing felt a whirlwind of mixed emotions in his heart.

He had never expected that it was actually the intention of both Chen Mi and Chu Ningdie to have Chen Mi keep Little囡囡 and drive him out of the forbidden zone!

At this moment, the Imprint of the Heavenly Heart had grown clear, and as Chen Xing's mind shifted, he understood everything instantly.

It turned out that Chu Ningdie had seen Chen Xing taking the two little ones out to play every day, showing not the slightest intention of making them cultivate, which inevitably made her somewhat anxious in her heart!

After all, Little囡囡 was different from Little Chenchen! Chu Ningdie had once learned from Chen Mi that the birth of Little Chenchen was utterly astonishing! Yet for some reason, she was unable to cultivate, and yet she could exist for all eternity, which was extremely bizarre!

They both harbored a vague guess: although Little Chenchen could not cultivate right now, her future would probably be so great that even they themselves might not be able to compare to her.

And if Little囡囡 did not start cultivating soon, she would likely grow further and further away from Chen Xing in the future, and perhaps bring her great harm one day!

Chen Mi knew even more clearly that although Chen Xing was the Lord of the Primordial Dao, an accident had occurred to him now! Even if he wanted to help Little囡囡, the utmost he could do was elevate her to the realm of a Saint!

Perhaps in the eyes of many, a Saint was already high above, looking down upon all living beings! Yet Chen Mi understood that Saints were nothing more than ants in the eyes of both herself and Chen Xing.

To reach her current realm was already immensely difficult! If she were merely a tiny Saint, how could she possibly have the courage to remain by the side of the future Chen Xing?

After all, she believed that Chen Xing would definitely find a way in the future to become that Lord of the Primordial Dao with autonomous consciousness.

Although many people were unaware of Chen Xing's identity, Chu Ningdie had long since vaguely guessed something from her usual conversations with Chen Mi. It was precisely because of this that she had practiced the Dao of Reincarnation with all her might, because she did not want to stay too far away from Chen Xing.

And now, with Little囡囡 as her younger sister, Chu Ningdie could not sit by and watch her potential future heartbreak and despair!

Yet they knew that Chen Xing doted on the two little ones from the bottom of his heart; if he were to learn of their plans, he would probably step in to stop them.

In the end, the two decided that Chen Mi would act to disrupt the Imprint of the Heavenly Heart and conveniently drive Chen Xing out.

After Chen Xing left, Chu Ningdie obtained Little囡囡's consent, and then used her primordial blood as a guide to trigger the resonance of the Dao fruit and bloodline within Little囡囡's body, directly accelerating her physical growth into maturity—she was no longer the cute little loli from before!

Looking at the complexity in Chen Xing's eyes, the young girl Chu Ningxue's eyes gradually welled up with a mist of tears, and she murmured, "Does big brother dislike me like this?" Her voice carried a trace of trembling.

Seeing this, Chen Xing hurriedly pulled her tightly into his arms and said, "No! No! How could big brother dislike Little囡囡! Don't let your imagination run wild."

After being comforted by Chen Xing for a while, Chu Ningxue gradually quieted down. Suddenly, she pushed Chen Xing away, laughed "Giggle!", ran over to Chen Mi, made a funny face at Chen Xing, and said, "Big brother fell for it, heehee!"

Chen Xing shook his head helplessly, though in his heart he understood that Chu Ningxue had only done this because she didn't want him to worry! He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for his earlier hesitation.

"Young master, is this… uh! The Empress?" Wei Yi had been watching Chen Mi standing to one side, and now he hesitantly stepped forward to ask.

He figured that someone who could prevent even a peak Great Saint like himself from perceiving how she appeared, here in this forbidden zone, could only be that legendary Ruthless Great Emperor!

Yet to his astonishment, Chen Xing shook his head and said, "This is my younger sister, Chen Mi. The Empress you speak of is another younger sister of mine."

"This… an… another younger sister?" Wei Yi was speechless. Exactly how many younger sisters did this fellow have? And were they all such terrifying existences?

It was at this moment that Wei Yi truly believed what Chen Xing had said earlier: even if thirty ancient Emperors were resurrected, they wouldn't want to think about walking out of the Archaic Forbidden Land!

If Chen Xing had just a few more younger sisters like this, even if all the supreme beings of the forbidden zones came out now, they would probably just be a piece of cake before them.

However, when Gai Jiuyou, standing nearby, heard Wei Yi utter the word 'Empress', his expression changed drastically! The moment Chen Xing stated that the Empress was another younger sister of mine, his state of mind nearly collapsed.

Damn it! What on earth was this fellow? The existence whose very name could shake the starry sky—how could she possibly be his younger sister?!

Although this newly appeared younger sister did not have a resounding reputation, she was able to appear silently right in front of a peak Quasi-Emperor like himself, bringing two people along with her; to say she wasn't a Supreme-grade expert was something he wouldn't believe even if beaten to death!

At that moment, as if sensing Gai Jiuyou's shock, Chen Xing turned his head, cast a peculiar look at him, and suddenly spoke to Chen Mi:

"Do those fellows, Little Wu and the others, have any ripened fruits? If so, bring one over for this sickly old man!"

Chen Mi knew Chen Xing was referring to those immortal medicine trees, and she was just about to open her mouth to reply when Little Chenchen, who had stopped crying in her arms, suddenly raised her hands high and shouted, "I have it! I have it! There are still two left! Heehee!"

With that, she jumped down from Chen Mi's arms, scurried over to Chen Xing on her short little legs, and produced two fruits like offering treasures, placing them into Chen Xing's hands with a giggle:

"Little White Tiger and Little Phoenix gave these to me, I haven't had time to eat them yet!" As she spoke, she even shook the spatial bracelet on her wrist, a very proud look on her face.

Chen Xing affectionately stroked his daughter's little head and praised, "My baby is still the most sensible. Alright, Daddy only needs one; you can eat the other one yourself."

Seeing Chen Xing's doting affection for Little Chenchen, Chu Ningxue's gaze dimmed somewhat, and a faint regret stirred in her heart for agreeing to her sister's plan to grow up into an adult for the sake of cultivation.

At this moment, Chen Xing acutely sensed Chu Ningxue's sense of loss. He raised a hand, called her over, and said softly, "Little囡囡 has grown up, and in the future, you must help big brother take care of Little Chenchen, okay?"

As he spoke, he picked up Little Chenchen and placed her into Chu Ningxue's arms!

Little Chenchen did not object either. Having just received praise from Daddy, she wrapped her arms around Chu Ningxue's neck and giggled:

"Sister囡囡, I just helped Daddy, I'm so happy! Heehee!"

"You should call me Auntie now. I'm an adult now, you can't call me sister anymore, oh!" Seeing that Chen Xing still cared deeply about her, Chu Ningxue swept away her previous sorrow and happily laughed and played with Little Chenchen.

Leaving the two little ones alone, Chen Xing walked up to Gai Jiuyou and said indifferently:

"I know the purpose of your trip here. Here is a fruit of the immortal medicine; you may take it and consume it! But I do not suggest that you become an Emperor now. You should understand when the critical moment will be, right?"

With the final sentence, Chen Xing transmitted his voice directly. He did not want Wei Yi and Xia Jiuyou to hear these words; after all, knowing certain things might not necessarily be a good thing for them!

Although Wei Yi and Xia Jiuyou did not hear the latter part, upon hearing that the fruit in Chen Xing's hand was actually the legendary immortal medicine, they were struck with utmost shock. That was a treasure capable of extending a Great Emperor's life by ten thousand years! And Chen Xing had just given it away like this!

Gai Jiuyou no longer dwelled on the relationship between Chen Xing and the Empress. He stared blankly at the snow-white fruit in his hand, seeing the faint shape of a little white tiger howling to the heavens upon it, while waves of fragrance drifted outward from the fruit!

Gai Jiuyou couldn't help but inhale the fragrance emanating from the fruit, and instantly felt his soon-to-be-exhausted lifespan increase by a fraction.

At that moment, he firmly believed that what he held in his hand was indeed a ripened fruit of the immortal medicine!

Surge upon surge of emotion churned in Gai Jiuyou's heart. He had never expected that coming to the Archaic Forbidden Land this time, he would merely hope to obtain some precious medicines to slightly increase his lifespan in order to deal with the upcoming Myriad Clans Assembly.

Yet he never dreamed that he would obtain an immortal medicine fruit possessed only by Great Emperors. This inevitably filled his heart with immense gratitude toward Chen Xing; after all, Chen Xing was practically sending him directly into the realm of a Great Emperor!

Hearing Chen Xing's voice transmission, Gai Jiuyou instantly grasped the meaning behind Chen Xing's words. He solemnly nodded to Chen Xing and gave his guarantee:

"Your Excellency, rest assured. When the Myriad Clans Assembly takes place, there will only be the aging Quasi-Emperor Gai Jiuyou; the human race has no Great Emperor at this time!" Having said this, a strange smile flashed across Gai Jiuyou's eyes.

Chen Xing nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right! The human race has no Great Emperor at this time!"

The two exchanged glances and couldn't help laughing heartily!

To one side, Xia Jiuyou watched the two laughing men, somewhat baffled, failing to understand what they meant.

Only Wei Yi vaguely guessed something. He curled his withered old lips and cursed inwardly: Two old foxes, heaven knows how many supreme beings they will scheme to death in the future.

Yet did Chen Xing need to scheme against others? Naturally not; this fellow simply wanted to bring his daughter along to watch a good show!

Chen Xing currently had only one thought in his mind: Hmm! Actually, being the mastermind behind the scenes feels pretty good!
