God Emperor

Chapter 2032: The Undying Blood Silkworm

The sceneries inside the palace were extremely beautiful and could be described as very varied, but Zhang Ruochen was not in the mood to appreciate them.

Passing through several long corridors, an elegant courtyard appeared before Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

Zhang Ruochen could not be more familiar with this courtyard, because he had lived in this environment since he was a child in his previous life. Every planet, every tree seemed to be completely replicated.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up as his figure flickered and reappeared in the courtyard, holding the beautiful figure in the courtyard into his arms.

With his beloved in his arms, Zhang Ruochen could finally relax his anxious heart. “Lingxi, are you alright?”

Mu Lingxi quietly nestled in Zhang Ruochen’s arms as she leaned her head on Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder, saying softly. “I’m fine.”

No matter when and where, Zhang Ruochen’s embrace always brought her the greatest sense of security.

And seeing Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi being so close, Kong Lanyou’s eyes could not help but be a little sad, wishing that she was the one being held in Zhang Ruochen’s arms.

Sadly, this was something that she could never say out loud.

With a smile, the Blood Empress slowly walked into the courtyard and sat down at the jade table.

Seemingly knowing that Zhang Ruochen would arrive soon, the Blood Empress had prepared a large number of dishes in advance. Each dish was exquisite and was both attractive to the eyes, as well as the nose, rousing one’s appetite.

“Sit down, all of you. If you have anything to say, wait until you’re done eating.” The Blood Empress said softly.

Although the tone of the Blood Empress was gentle, yet there was an irresistible aura to it.

Zhang Ruochen let Mu Lingxi go and turned to look at the Blood Empress... There was a complicated look in his eyes, as his emotions that had finally calmed down became violently volatile again.

Although he did not want to admit it, this majestic and noble woman before him was indeed his biological in his previous life.

For a long time, Zhang Ruochen had hated the Immortal Vampires very much, but in the end, someone had told him that he had Immortal Vampire blood in him in his previous life. It was really ironic, as if the heavens were playing a massive practical joke on him.

Zhang Ruochen was not a person who liked running away from reality, but this time, he hoped his biological mother from his previous life had really passed away, and not the Blood Empress before him.

As he suppressed his conflicted thoughts, Zhang Ruochen tried his best to remain calm as he sat opposite the Blood Empress with Mu Lingxi and Kong Lanyou.

Seeing the three sitting down, a smile appeared on the Blood Empress’ face as she said, “Come, Chen’er. Come and have a taste of Mother’s cooking.”

As she said that, the Blood Empress picked up her chopsticks and put the food into the bowl before Zhang Ruochen.

“Lingxi, Lanyou, you two are family too. Don’t be so reserved.”

The Blood Empress also picked up some of the food and placed them in Mu Lingxi and Kong Lanyou’s bowls respectively without any pretensions.

However, despite the Blood Empress’ warmth, Zhang Ruochen looked indifferent and showed no desire to touch his chopsticks at all.

“Where is Chi Kunlun?” he asked.

He had only seen Mu Lingxi now but not Chi Kunlun, so he could not help but feel a little worried.

“Chi Kunlun doesn’t want to see you, and you should know the reason. However, you can rest assured that he is fine.”

The Blood Empress was not perturbed by Zhang Ruochen’s indifferent attitude and still maintained her smile.

Right then, she obviously could not let Zhang Ruochen know that Chi Kunlun was actually not in the Endless Abyss. He had instead been instead taken away by a Yanluo Clan powerhouse.

Otherwise, with Zhang Ruochen’s character, he would probably immediately go look for that Yanluo-Clan powerhouse.

That would definitely not be a good thing as the current Zhang Ruochen was not yet a match for that person.

Of course, the Blood Empress would not just ignore the plight of her grandson. Secretly, she had sent the Beguiler Demon to find out about that person, looking for a chance to rescue Chi Kunlun.

Hearing this, a conflicted look appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes once again. He naturally knew what kind of barrier existed between him and Chi Kunlun. It was reasonable for Chi Kunlun to not want to see him.

Just like he was now, why would he be willing to meet the Blood Empress?

If it were not for the many questions and doubts he had, if it were not for Chi Kunlun and Mu Lingxi being taken to the Endless Abyss, Zhang Ruochen would not have wanted to come at all.

If he was really forced to make a choice, he would rather face Chi Yao than the Blood Empress.

“One day, Chi Kunlun will understand everything, and then appear before you.” Mu Lingxi placed her hand on the back of Zhang Ruochen’s hand, and gently consoled him. This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

Hearing Mu Lingxi’s voice, Zhang Ruochen immediately snapped back to reality, and could not help but to turn his hand over as his fingers tightly clasped against Mu Lingxi’s slender fingers.

To have Mu Lingxi by his side would pretty much heaven’s greatest favor to him.

“Let’s eat first. I don’t know what you like to eat, so I just made a few. If you don’t like them, I can make them again.”

With a smile on her face, the Blood Empress continued to pick up dishes for Zhang Ruochen.

Against the Blood Empress’ enthusiasm, Zhang Ruochen felt uncomfortable and wanted to get up and leave immediately.

In Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, the Blood Empress was a complete stranger, and she was also an Immortal Vampire. No matter how much friendliness she had shown, it was difficult for him to accept.

The dishes on the table were indeed very exquisite, but unfortunately, they were unable to rouse Zhang Ruochen’s appetite.

The Blood Empress could not help but sigh as her eyes dimmed a little. She did not expect Zhang Ruochen’s rejection of her to be so strong.

She had indeed owed Zhang Ruochen too much. As a mother, she did not accompany him after he was born, causing him to not feel the slightest bit of maternal love.

And she knew that Zhang Ruochen cared a lot about her identity as an Immortal Vampire, but that was a reality that could not be changed.

For others, the Blood Empress could use forceful methods, but against Zhang Ruochen, she could not do anything.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting too awkward, Kong Lanyou picked up her chopsticks as she put some food into Zhang Ruochen’s bowl as she said. “Cousin, these are all... Auntie’s goodwill gesture, eat a little.”

Kong Lanyou grew up with Zhang Ruochen since they were young and clearly knew how much the latter yearned for maternal love when he was a child. No matter what identity the Blood Empress had, she was her cousin’s mother, and that was a fact that could not be changed!

Even a ferocious tiger does not eat its cub.

And at the very least, the Blood Empress will not harm her cousin.

The Blood Empress cast a grateful look at Kong Lanyou. She knew what Kong Lanyou said was far more effective than anything she could say.

Zhang Ruochen had many thoughts in his mind. For some reason, he recalled the time Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue joining forces to kill him. At that time, as a father, he was heartbroken.

Zhang Ruochen knew that Kong Lanyou was not persuading him for the Blood Empress, but she was telling him that some emotions must be faced head-on, and it was pointless to avoid them.

Taking a deep breath in, Zhang Ruochen adjusted his chaotic emotions a little.

He did not look at the Blood Empress as he reached out and picked up a chopstick, silently picking up the food in the bowl and put them into his mouth.

These dishes were extremely delicious but in Zhang Ruochen’s mouth, they tasted like wax and were difficult to swallow.

Nevertheless, upon seeing Zhang Ruochen eating the food she cooked, a look of joy appeared in the Blood Empress’ eyes because she was filled with hope. Just as she was about to ask, “Chen’er, was it delicious?”, Zhang Ruochen put down his chopsticks and stared at her with empty eyes.

Seeing this, the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a touch of bitterness. After all, it was not easy for Zhang Ruochen to accept her as his mother.

Shaking her head reluctantly, The Blood Empress whispered. “Linyuan, take the Crown Prince to rest.”

She also knew that she could not rush this matter and force Zhang Ruochen. She needed to do this step by step.

She would first get Zhang Ruochen to stay in the Endless Abyss and give them more time together. She believed that she could slowly pry open Zhang Ruochen’s closed heart.

A figure flashed out from the side, tall and mighty. It was Chi Linyuan, the former Grand Master of the Sect of the Blood God.

Back then, Chi Linyuan was pursued by Yan Liren and escaped into the second level. With the backing of the Blood Empress, he was able to escape. On the contrary, Yan Liren ran into trouble.

“Your Royal Highness, please.”

Chi Linyuan bowed slightly.

As if seemingly reluctant to continue facing the Blood Empress, Zhang Ruochen left with Chi Linyuan.

Mu Lingxi and Kong Lanyou also stood up and quickly followed suit.

As soon as the three left, Qiu Yichi appeared in the courtyard.

“Master, His Highness does not seem to be willing to accept your hospitality. Why don’t you use some other means?” Qiu Yichi looked puzzled.

A cold light flashed past the Blood Empress’ eyes, and she said, “Don’t you know what kind of temper Chen’er has? If I were to use those methods, Chen’er will never recognize me as his queen mother.”

Feeling the chill radiating from the Blood Empress, Qiu Yichi could not help but shudder as she hurriedly said, “I have misspoken. Please forgive me, Master.”

“Find that Yanluo powerhouse as soon as possible and rescue Chi Kunlun. We must not let him suffer any harm. Understand?” The Blood Empress ordered coldly.

Qiu Yichi immediately responded: “Yes, Master.”

Although this matter was very tricky, since the Blood Empress had ordered it, she had to see it to its completion no matter what.

For her to be what she was today, was all due to the cultivation of the Blood Empress. She also knew the character of the Blood Empress, and if she screwed this up, she will definitely have something ill coming her way.

“Chen’er, Chen’er, how do I get you to accept me?” The Blood Empress could not help but sigh.

For so many years, the only person who had given her such a headache was Zhang Ruochen.

On the other side, Zhang Ruochen followed Chi Linyuan through several corridors before finally coming to the residence the Blood Empress had arranged for them.

Chi Linyuan smiled and said, “If Your Royal Highness has any needs, you can inform me.”

Hummmmm...

A powerful spatial fluctuation appeared, and instantly enveloped the entire room, with Chi Linyuan inside it.

Chi Linyuan’s expression changed drastically as he frowned and said. “Your Royal Highness, what is the meaning of this?”

At that moment, Chi Linyuan was actually very surprised. He did not expect Zhang Ruochen to be able to use his spatial techniques after entering the second level of the Endless Abyss. Plus, it was so powerful that he was unable to move much despite his powerful body.

“I have something to ask you, so you better answer honestly. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind killing you.” Zhang Ruochen said coldly.

Chi Linyuan said. “What does Your Royal Highness wanted to ask, please do. How would I dare to deceive Your Highness?”

With him under someone else’s hospitality, he had to bow his head. After all, Zhang Ruochen was the Blood Empress’ son, and if Zhang Ruochen really wanted him dead, there was nothing he could do.

“Back then, when the Supreme Elder chased you to the second level, what happened after that?” Zhang Ruochen asked grimly.

Back then on the first level, the Yan Liren he saw did not believe in God or fate, only himself. How arrogant was that?

Now, however, Yan Liren gave him a sense of decadence, and he could not imagine what had happened to him.

Chi Linyuan murmured as he said, “Master Yan was invincible, and with the Blood God’s Swordbreaker in hand, I was naturally not his match and could only flee. I finally fled here, and he rampaged his way here, causing Master to intervene. Master wanted to get Master Yan to submit, but he wouldn’t. Seeing her friendship with Master Yan, she did not kill him but imprisoned him inside a mysterious Blood Domain.”

“The Blood Empress had imprisoned the Supreme Elder? And she had a friendship with him?” Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly.

How could there be any relationship between Yan Liren and the Blood Empress?

Zhang Ruochen did not think that Yan Liren would throw his lot with the Immortal Vampires, and he believed Emperor Ming’s vision, and also Yan Liren’s integrity.

Yan Liren was able to severe the faith in his heart, and was unaffected by the will of the Blood God, so who can control him?

Chi Linyuan continued, “Master imprisoned Master Yan and intended to use the mysterious power in the Blood Domain to wear off his will and get him to submit. Unexpectedly, not only did Master Yan’s will not wear off inside the Blood Domain, but he also severed a hundred thousand distracting thoughts from his mind using his willpower. He mended the defect in his state of mind, and it caused his body to reach the level of a Supreme Saint. He then successfully cultivated the Immortal Blood Silkworm Saint Body, broke through the cocoon, and entered the realm of a Supreme Saint.”

The Immortal Saint Body of the Undying Blood Silkworm had been created by the Blood God, and since the Sect of the Blood God’s establishment, apart from the Blood God proper, only the Blood God’s principal disciple, Xue Lingxian had successfully cultivated it.

Of course, there was one more person now.

According to rumors, the Immortal Saint Body of the Undying Blood Silkworm was extremely powerful and known as an Undying Body. No matter how badly one was injured, they could quickly recover, and the body would become even stronger.

With his flesh becoming a Supreme Saint, plus the Immortal Saint Body of the Undying Blood Silkworm, no one had any idea how powerful Yan Liren was.

“As expected of the Tenth Emperor back in the day. He is really amazing.” Kong Lanyou said.

Such a powerful Immortal Saint Body made Kong Lanyou envious. Perhaps her Immortal Saint Body being shattered was a good thing, and that allowed her the opportunity to pursue an even more powerful one.

Mu Lingxi showed a look of surprise, saying. “I’ve heard of the Undying Blood Silkworm Immortal Saint Body

The Empyrean Lunar Immortal Saint Body of the Moon Worship Sect had been created by Yueshen, and throughout the history of the sect, only the founding Grand Master had managed to cultivate it.

There were many kinds of Immortal Saint Bodies in the world, but for those that can be called top-level were very few, and some major worlds do not even have one.

Only an Immortal World like Kunlun Realm will have a variety of top-level Immortal Saint Body cultivation methods.

Being able to cultivate a top-level Immortal Saint Body was equivalent to laying the foundation for becoming a god, and one would have more chances of becoming a god than the others.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s brow furrowed, saying. “No, the Yan Liren I saw earlier had not reached the realm of a Supreme Saint.”

“The ‘Master Yan’ Your Highness had seen earlier is not the real Master Yan,” Chi Linyuan said.

Zhang Ruochen was even more puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“The moment Master Yan broke through, Master felt the shock in the Blood Domain and rushed over. Unfortunately, she was still too late, and Master Yan had escaped into the depths of the Blood Domain, and that was a plan even Master dare not step in at will.”

“Master Yan only left behind a ‘cocoon body’ that he had shed in the place he secluded himself in for refinement. Within the cocoon was Master Yan’s one hundred thousand distracting thoughts. Master then used her secret technique and combined the ‘cocoon body’ and the hundred thousand distracting thoughts, forming the Master Yan you see now,” Chi Linyuan said.

Zhang Ruochen could have never thought that the “Yan Liren” he had seen earlier had turned out to just be a cocoon.

He could clearly feel that that “Yan Liren” possessed extremely powerful power inside his body, no weaker than his. He was also at the level beneath a Supreme Saint.

If this cocoon was already so powerful, what sort of power would his real body have?

In addition, Zhang Ruochen also obtained a very important message from Chi Linyuan’s words, that was, for one’s body to reach Supreme Sainthood, not only they had to refine their flesh to be extremely powerful, but the key was to have a very complete state of mind.

It was little wonder that since ancient times, few people had been able to cultivate their physical bodies to Supreme Sainthood. This made Zhang Ruochen realize that if he wants his body to reach Supreme Sainthood, his accumulation was far from sufficient.
