Chapter 977: Chapter 977 The Heavenly Emperor’s Open Strategy

The Heavenly Emperor sat high above a radiance of golden light, causing the immortals below to only gaze upwards to where he was. The true appearance of the Heavenly Emperor was that of a handsome and majestic middle-aged man. If one were to critically assess, his appearance was not much different from an ordinary monarch of the Human World, except for the extra bands of golden light swirling around him.

"Absolutely not!"

Pagoda-bearing Heavenly King Li Jing stepped forward, his expression stern.

"That Luo Yun has repeatedly provoked and scorned the Heavenly Court, how can we possibly appoint him as an official? Moreover, the immortals have already witnessed that this man is extremely murderous and disdains all living beings. If Saint Nüwa were to find out, our Heavenly Court would have to endure yet another turmoil. Your Majesty, why not dispatch a valiant general to strip him of his divine position, descend to the mortal realm, and exterminate that Luo Yun? After the matter is resolved, he can be reappointed."

"Hmm." The Heavenly Emperor merely emitted a nasal sound, and the spiritual energy around the Heavenly Court trembled slightly, "The words of the Heavenly King are much to my liking, let this matter be entrusted to the Heavenly King."

Overjoyed, Tota Heavenly King Li Jing hastily paid his respects, "Your servant will respectfully carry out the decree!"

You had been in a coma these past few days, and Wu Zhao had been by your side taking care of you. Although you had not woken up yet, your breathing had gradually steadied, and there was no concern for your life. Seeing your tranquil appearance in sleep, Wu Zhao’s heart was very at peace, and if outsiders were present, they would have observed an extraordinary aura of talent radiating from her.

"This..."

Wu Zhao herself seemed to sense something and couldn’t help but look up at the top of the tent. At that moment, she saw a small figure at the top, shrouded in multicolored celestial light, elegant in posture, and supremely dignified. More astonishing for Wu Zhao was, this figure looked exactly like her.

"You are..."

"I am indeed your true body, known as Mother Queen of Jade Lake." The small figure’s every frown and smile were immensely solemn and radiant, commanding involuntary reverence.

"You, you are the Queen Mother." Wu Zhao immediately knelt before the Queen Mother of the West. It is known that she is the true supreme deity in the hearts of all women under heaven. All women, including goblins who ascend to immortality, must enter her command and are directly governed by her.

However, Wu Zhao did not truly kneel, for a multicolored celestial light lifted her up.

"Do you know why the celestial gods of the Heavenly Realm constantly make things difficult for you?"

Seeing Wu Zhao shake her head, the Queen Mother of the West smiled faintly, "Because you are one of my Nine Spiritual Bodies, representing the Seven Emotions and Six Desires. The celestial gods, many of whom are mortals ascended, have renounced their Seven Emotions and Six Desires to achieve immortality. However, I am different. I am born of natural conception from heaven and earth, formed into a body of celestial light. Though I am immortal, I can never truly experience the sincerest and truest emotions of the human world. Thus, I left behind a spiritual body that entered the mortal realm. Alas, this matter was still perceived by the gods of the Heavenly Court, and naturally, they could not bear it. Hence, they constantly made things difficult for you and others, also causing the suffering of all living beings."

"Queen Mother, I beg you to show mercy and spare us. I implore you not to take me away now, for I cannot leave like this. I must wait for my husband to awaken before I can leave."

Wu Zhao was extremely astute, having already guessed from the Queen Mother’s words that she was here to take her away.

"Alas, the deeper one is mired in emotion, the more entangled they become, which I truly felt from you. Although you are a part of me, I am grateful for you, and in some ways, you are not me—you are yourself."

The words of the Queen Mother of the West didn’t confuse Wu Zhao at all; instead, they shone like a light in the darkness, illuminating his entire heart. It not only brought long-lost light but also enduring hope.

"Your Majesty, are you saying..."

"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed," the Queen Mother of the West said mysteriously with a smile, "I will give you three days. After that, I will come to fetch you myself. But you must not explicitly tell him; if you do so, your fateful bond with him will be destroyed. Remember, remember." As soon as these words were spoken, the Queen Mother transformed into a spectrum of colorful glow and dissipated into the air.

Tears welled up in Wu Zhao’s eyes as he gripped his delicate and smooth hands tightly, yet his face bore a smile of relief.

Two days later, you weakly awakened. This filled Wu Zhao with immense joy, as he had been worried you might remain asleep until he himself would disappear.

Upon waking, you immediately inquired about Wu Zhao’s situation, to which he responded truthfully. Currently, the battles in the Western Tang had ceased, and the Qin Army in the Northwest Region was also beginning to retreat due to heavy losses. As for the North, there appeared to have been some upheaval within the Great Han on the very day you fell unconscious, and they had also signed a treaty with the Tang Dynasty promising a hundred years of non-aggression.

Upon hearing this, you finally nodded in relief, aware that the war had at last come to an end. However, this cessation was for ordinary people. You knew that what awaited you was your ultimate battle—a battle you absolutely could not afford to lose, or else you would never recover!

After awakening, you immediately immersed yourself in cultivation. Although Wu Zhao wanted to say something, he found no words, and his anxiety caused him to lose his usual quick-wittedness. Three days passed in the blink of an eye; Wu Zhao spent these days and nights in unrest. It was not proper to disturb you, as you were deep in meditation practice, until on the morning of the third day when sudden claps of thunder crossed the sky, your eyes snapped open.

"Is it finally time?" Before your words ended, you had disappeared and the next moment you were standing in an open space outside the military camp.

Just then, a silver light streaked across the sky, and a figure on a Flying Sword was shooting directly toward where you were. Soon, this person entered your sight: a man with a face as handsome as jade and eyes like stars. He casually stood with his hands behind his back, emanating a faint blue glow.

"Are you Luo Yun?" the handsome man hovered about ten meters above you, looking down with arrogant eyes, as if he regarded you as no more than an insect.

"What dog are you from?"

"Hmph!" The man scoffed coldly, and you watched as a silver light shot rapidly toward you. Without dodging, you instantly swung the Immovable Dragon Pole, and with a ’clang,’ a Flying Sword was deflected away.

"Oh? You have some skills. Is that divine weapon in your hand his?" he asked.

"You’re wrong. This old man’s stick is called ’Dog Beating Stick,’ specially designed to beat all kinds of mongrel dogs, wild dogs."

You laughed arrogantly, sensing the powerful and overwhelming Original True Qi emanating from your opponent.

This person was strong, stronger than you were confident you could survive against. Yet, for some reason, the stronger he seemed, the more exhilarated you felt inside, as if your entire blood was boiling at this moment.

"Seeking death!"

Clearly enraged by you, the man swung his hand again, and you saw multiple silver lights shooting toward you, each coming fiercely!
