Protect Our Patriarch
Book 5: Chapter 116: I didn't expect you to be this kind of Wang Fugui

……

Originally, according to the Yinsha Demon Lord's plan, it was natural to give the Qinghuang Demon Emperor a grand reception, making her feel the warm hospitality of the Yinsha Sect.

However, the Qinghuang Demon Emperor politely declined the Yinsha Demon Lord's kindness, saying calmly, "No need for such courtesy, Demon Lord. My main purpose here is to visit and repay Sister Ruobing. It's more prudent to keep a low profile. During this time, I'll stay at Sister Ruobing's Minghuang Residence."

"Very well." The Yinsha Demon Lord did not insist and smiled, "There are plenty of guest rooms in Minghuang Residence. Since the Demon Emperor doesn't mind, I won't interfere. If you need anything, please feel free to ask. There's no need to be formal with the younger generation."

"Of course."

The Qinghuang Demon Emperor agreed.

After paying respects to Qi Hongzhao, Wang Long Yan and the Qinghuang Demon Emperor returned to Minghuang Residence together.

As soon as they reached the entrance, Wu Xinrui, who had already received the news, led the disciples to greet them, bowing to the two.

"Xinrui welcomes Martial Aunt and the Qinghuang Demon Emperor."

Minghuang Residence itself covered a large area. Qi Hongzhao, fearing Wang Long Yan might not be happy staying in the sect, had arranged for many disciples to serve her. Including the outer disciples doing miscellaneous tasks, there were at least a hundred permanent disciples in Minghuang Residence.

At this moment, a group of people lined up neatly, bowing in unison, creating quite a grand scene.

The Qinghuang Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow at the sight.

Wang Long Yan, however, was already used to such scenes. She waved her hand to indicate they should go about their business and asked Wu Xinrui to help arrange a courtyard for the Qinghuang Demon Emperor before leading her into the inner courtyard.

"Earlier, the situation was rushed, and I didn't have time to ask. Did Master Shouzhe send any message with you, Senior Qinghuang?"

After dismissing the serving disciples, Wang Long Yan raised a hand in salute to the Qinghuang Demon Emperor and politely inquired.

She had met the Qinghuang Demon Emperor at the entrance of the Yinsha Sect. At the time, things were hurried, and the Qinghuang Demon Emperor only had time to transmit a message saying Wang Shouzhe had sent her. The two hadn't had a chance to discuss the details, hence the question.

"Master Shouzhe did entrust me with a letter for you."

The Qinghuang Demon Emperor didn't hesitate and handed her a letter.

Wang Long Yan thanked her and opened the letter to read.

The letter didn't contain anything particularly special. Wang Shouzhe had simply chatted about recent events in the family, explained the situation with the Qinghuang Demon Emperor, assured her to use her without worry, and mentioned the situation of Lici and others in the Immortal Dynasty, as well as which promising juniors had appeared in the family in recent years. It was mostly family matters.

At the end of the letter, Wang Shouzhe mentioned that in another year, it would be Wang Long Yan's three hundredth birthday. Although they couldn't hold a grand celebration, the juniors at home had prepared birthday gifts for her, all entrusted to the Qinghuang Demon Emperor to bring over. Naturally, the items weren't worth much, but they were tokens of the juniors' affection.

Wang Long Yan felt her emotions stir as she read.

When she was at home, she found the juniors noisy when they surrounded her. Now, away from home, what she missed most was the lively atmosphere when the juniors were around.

Though the letter contained only a few words, it felt heavy to her.

To be honest, if Shouzhe hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have remembered that her three hundredth birthday was approaching. She certainly hadn't expected to receive birthday gifts from the juniors while she was far away in the Yinsha Sect.

After a long while, she put away the letter and thanked the Qinghuang Demon Emperor, "Thank you for the trouble, Senior Qinghuang."

"It was no trouble at all, since I was coming to see you anyway," the Qinghuang Demon Emperor replied courteously.

Though she had a proud nature, firstly, Wang Shouzhe had already warned her early on, and secondly, Wang Long Yan herself was exceptionally talented. It seemed inevitable she would reach the late Void Realm, and if she was lucky, she might even become a Demon Lord. The Qinghuang Demon Emperor wasn't foolish enough to offend her for no reason.

As they spoke, the Qinghuang Demon Emperor took out the items Wang Shouzhe had entrusted her to bring.

The birthday gifts were all packed in boxes, each labeled with the name of the giver.

As Wang Long Yan examined them, she chatted casually with the Qinghuang Demon Emperor, inquiring about the family's recent situation and occasionally complaining about Wang Shouzhe. Unknowingly, they became more familiar with each other.

While they were chatting, a disciple suddenly reported from outside that Elder Yin Futu had come to visit.

"Invite him in."

Wang Long Yan was a bit surprised.

Though Yin Futu was nominally her senior brother, due to some awkwardness in their statuses, and because Wang Long Yan was, after all, a female cultivator, it wasn't appropriate for Yin Futu to visit frequently. So even if there was something to discuss, it was mostly conveyed through Wu Xinrui, and they didn't interact much in their daily lives.

This time, she didn't know why he had come personally.

Soon, a disciple led Yin Futu inside.

The Qinghuang Demon Emperor didn't leave but instead slipped into the inner chamber.

Wang Long Yan entertained Yin Futu in the guest hall.

After two rounds of tea and some small talk, Yin Futu stated his purpose, "Junior Sister, I am here on Master's orders to bring you this item."

As he spoke, he took out a thumb-thick jade pill bottle from his storage ring and handed it to her.

Wang Long Yan took it and her expression changed instantly, "Is this... the Boundless Dao Pill?!"

The Boundless Dao Pill, as a ninth-grade Dao Pill, was renowned far and wide. Even ordinary people who listened to storytellers on the streets knew about it. Wang Long Yan, though she hadn't seen it in person, had heard of it.

Legend had it that the Boundless Dao Pill could greatly enhance a cultivator's aptitude. However, it was extremely difficult to refine, not only requiring rare materials but also needing a celestial-grade Heaven and Earth Furnace. Often, it took thousands of years to refine a single batch.

To prevent the loss of potency, even the jade bottles used to store the pills were specially made, engraved with the pattern of the ancient fierce beast Glutton, making them easy to identify.

The small jade bottle before her looked unremarkable, but she wouldn't mistake those patterns.

Of course, it wasn't that it couldn't be counterfeited, but Yin Futu had no reason to deceive her.

"That's right. Since you recognize it, I assume you don't need me to explain the effects of the Boundless Dao Pill," Yin Futu nodded, explaining, "Master went through a lot of trouble to buy this from the Demon Dynasty. Because ninth-grade Dao Pills are rare, Master had to pull many strings to finally acquire it."

"Originally, Master wanted to give it to you as soon as you returned, but with the Qinghuang Demon Emperor present just now, it wasn't appropriate, so he had me deliver it to you in private. You should go into seclusion and take it soon. It should enhance your aptitude further."

Wang Long Yan was moved, "This..."

Though she wasn't entirely clear about the Yinsha Sect's resources, she had a general idea. Buying this pill, while not bankrupting them, was certainly a significant strain.

She hadn't expected Qi Hongzhao to quietly purchase it.

"Junior Sister, don't worry about it. Just take the pill and cultivate well," Yin Futu reassured her with a smile, seeing her expression, "Master and I are counting on you to bring glory to our Yinsha Sect. As long as this pill gives you a better chance against the Little Demon Lord, the investment will be worth it. By the way, there's another matter I need your opinion on."

Hearing this, Wang Long Yan composed herself, "Please go ahead, Senior Brother."

"It's like this. Our Yinsha Sect has a secret realm that's particularly suitable for enhancing your bloodline and strength, but it's quite dangerous. Master asked me to get your opinion," Yin Futu explained.

It turned out that the Wu Ji Sacred Mountain, where the Yinsha Sect was located, had once housed a powerful Profound Ice Phoenix, nearly reaching the thirteenth level. It was eventually slain at the peak of the snowy mountain. After its death, its resentment lingered, creating the dense fiendish aura that lasted for millennia.

The Demon Lord who slew the Profound Ice Phoenix was the ancestor of the Yinsha Sect.

After killing the phoenix, he explored its nest and discovered that the mountain's structure was unique. Deep underground, there seemed to be a special energy source, possibly related to the phoenix bloodline.

Though most of that energy had been absorbed by the phoenix, given time, it might regenerate. So, he sealed the area and transformed it into a secret realm for the disciples to train.

Later, after the Yinsha Sect's ancestor failed to compete for the True Demon Seed, he chose to establish the Yinsha Sect at Wu Ji Sacred Mountain, partly because of this secret realm.

"Over the years, the Yinsha Sect's Holy Sons and Daughters have only explored the edges of the secret realm and gained considerable benefits. Master said that you might try to delve deeper. With your Ice Phoenix bloodline, you might gain unexpected advantages," Yin Futu explained, "However, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. Whether to go deeper and how far to go is up to you, Junior Sister."

Wang Long Yan hadn't expected such a treasure within the Yinsha Sect, and her eyes lit up.

A secret realm related to the Ice Phoenix was perfect for her.

But thinking about it, it wasn't surprising for a sect as deep-rooted as the Yinsha Sect to have such a secret realm.

She immediately asked, "When can the secret realm be opened?"

"The key is with Master, and the secret realm can be opened at any time," Yin Futu replied, "However, only one person can enter at a time, and each person can only enter once. Traditionally, only the Holy Sons and Daughters of the Yinsha Sect can enter. If you've decided, you can speak to Master, and he'll open the secret realm for you."

"However, Master's suggestion is to take the Dao Pill first and enter after absorbing its power. You'll have a better chance then."

"I understand." Wang Long Yan nodded, "Please convey to Master that I will prepare well."

Yin Futu's main purpose for visiting was these two matters. Seeing that Wang Long Yan understood, he gave a few more reminders before taking his leave from Minghuang Residence.

After he left, the Qinghuang Demon Emperor emerged from the inner chamber, looking somewhat surprised, "Your Master really is attentive to you."

Leaving aside the secret realm, just the Dao Pill alone showed Qi Hongzhao's dedication.

The Dao Pill's effects were indeed strong. If a Purple Mansion cultivator with great prodigy B-grade aptitude took it, they could likely leap into the extraordinary. But for someone like Wang Long Yan, who had already awakened her bloodline to such a degree, taking the Dao Pill was more of a bonus, and it was uncertain if it could even enhance her bloodline by half a stage.

Wang Long Yan nodded, "Master indeed spares no effort in nurturing me."

As she spoke, she went to the inner chamber to fetch a piece of letter paper and wrote a letter to Wang Shouzhe. Once the ink dried, she folded the paper and placed it in a special envelope.

After finishing, she was about to send the letter back to the Wang Clan using the channel set up by her family member Wang Mei when she suddenly thought of something and turned to ask the Qinghuang Demon Emperor, "Senior, do you have a quick way to communicate with the clan?"

The Qinghuang Demon Emperor glanced at the letter in her hand, "If you need to send a letter, I can have the clan's bluebirds help. It would take at most half a month for a round trip."

The so-called bluebirds were a type of wind-attribute bird species, known as "Bluebirds."

These birds were not large, but because they had a trace of phoenix bloodline, their strength wasn't particularly high, but they were a rare mutated wind attribute, as fast as lightning.

As a result, this species often served as messengers for the Qinghuang Demon Emperor.

Over the years, the strongest bluebird in the clan had reached the ninth level, and even the Qinghuang Demon Emperor would have difficulty catching it.

To facilitate communication with Wang Shouzhe, the Qinghuang Demon Emperor had brought it along this time, keeping it nearby. If contact was needed, a mere thought from the Qinghuang Demon Emperor would summon the bluebird instantly.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior," Wang Long Yan didn't stand on ceremony and handed the envelope to the Qinghuang Demon Emperor.

Shouzhe had mentioned in his letter that the Qinghuang Demon Emperor owed the Wang Clan a significant debt, so she should feel free to use her without hesitation. She had always trusted Shouzhe's words.

The Qinghuang Demon Emperor was straightforward, taking the letter to the courtyard, setting up a barrier in a secluded spot, and summoning the bluebird to deliver the letter.

With her formidable strength, none of the Yinsha Sect disciples in the courtyard dared to spy on her actions, so the letter was sent smoothly.

Inside the inner chamber, Wang Long Yan watched the Qinghuang Demon Emperor's back, her thoughts drifting.

Originally, according to Shouzhe's plan, she was to leave the Yinsha Sect as soon as she obtained the manual. But now, with the Yinsha Demon Lord investing more and more in her and placing greater hopes on her, the situation had become somewhat complicated.

Though she was determined, given the current circumstances, if she were to truly face the Yinsha Demon Lord in battle one day, she would undoubtedly feel guilty.

She really didn't know how to handle this situation.

Oh well, she wasn't good at dealing with these matters anyway. She'd wait for Shouzhe's reply. He always had many ideas and might have a solution.

For now, she should focus on absorbing the Dao Pill's power, enhancing her bloodline, and preparing for the Ice Phoenix relic.

When the time comes, things will naturally work out. Other matters can wait until she returns from the relic.

With this thought, Wang Long Yan clutched the jade bottle containing the Dao Pill and turned to enter the meditation chamber, beginning her seclusion to absorb the pill's power.

……

Meanwhile.

Han Yue Immortal Dynasty.

Yuhua Treasure Palace.

As the residence of the Immortal Emperor and the seat of the Immortal Court, this ancient celestial palace had countless spiritual veins transplanted into it, with spiritual energy so dense it formed a mist, often shrouded in clouds. From a distance, it appeared ethereal and extraordinary, exuding the aura of an immortal abode.

Within the palace, layers of buildings were interspersed, with exotic spiritual flowers and grasses everywhere. Beautiful ornamental spiritual beasts, spiritual birds, and spiritual fish were meticulously raised and could be seen everywhere. Even the railings were carved from jade-like treasures, fully embodying the phrase "Jade Towers and Celestial Palaces."

If one lived here, even an ordinary mortal would be healthy and disease-free, easily living beyond a hundred years.

Unfortunately, this was a true celestial palace where True Immortals resided. Even a maid trimming flowers and plants had Celestial Realm cultivation and was quite attractive, considered a "fairy" widely admired in the local area.

In the inner courtyard of the celestial palace, there was a small courtyard named Wan Hua Pavilion.

The courtyard was in full bloom, with various spiritual butterflies and spirit bees dancing gracefully. It was one of the courtyards favored by the current Immortal Emperor, who would occasionally stay there for a while during leisure time.

However, recently, Wan Hua Pavilion had been allocated to Yun Mengyu and Wang Fugui, who had come to "pay respects" to the Immortal Emperor, for temporary residence.

At this moment.

In the garden full of blooming celestial flowers, a pavilion with ancient charm was emitting bursts of fragrance.

Yun Mengyu and Wang Fugui were barbecuing. Under the smokeless spiritual wood charcoal, the tender spiritual beef sizzled, releasing a mouthwatering aroma.

A sapling that looked crystalline and radiant was nestled beside Wang Fugui, rubbing against his arm.

Its long roots were inserted into the fertile spiritual garden soil, shamelessly competing with the exotic flowers for nutrients, while also eyeing the barbecue greedily.

"Baocai, how many pieces have you eaten already? This piece is for Mengyu, I can't spoil you any further," Wang Fugui said, mercilessly prying away its probing branches.

Now thirteen years "old," Wang Fugui had grown taller, shedding much of his childishness and baby fat, becoming a graceful and handsome young man.

His slightly round face exuded a natural air of wealth and prosperity.

"Yiya yiya~" Wang Bao Cai waved its branches in protest, "Yi! Yiyaya!"

"Oh~ you little temper," Wang Fugui flicked its trunk with his finger, laughing, "Once this journey to the Immortal Court is over, I'll take you home and send you to the Clan School to learn some culture and knowledge. Speaking of which, I should also attend the Advanced Clan School when I return. I really miss the happy days at the Clan School."

"Yiyaya~" Hearing about attending the Clan School, Wang Bao Cai seemed very excited.

It often heard Fugui talk about the Clan School, and every time he mentioned it, he seemed happy and nostalgic. The kind teachers, interesting classmates... those were the memories of youth.

Clearly, the Clan School was a very interesting place, and Wang Bao Cai was sure to have a joyful and meaningful childhood there.

"Fugui, can't you stay a few more years before going back?" Yun Mengyu asked, eating the meat Wang Fugui had grilled for her. Though it tasted good, her mood was somewhat downcast.

Over the past two years, Yun Mengyu had grown quickly, blossoming into a graceful young girl.

"Mengyu, as they say, all good things must come to an end," Wang Fugui replied calmly, "This trip to the Immortal Dynasty has been very enlightening, confirming what my Ancestor Grandfather said about 'reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles.' I plan to settle down, spend two years thoroughly studying the Advanced Clan School curriculum, and then visit the family businesses to learn."

"Mengyu, you should also study well in the Immortal Court and strive to be a useful princess for the human race."

"Alright then. When we grow up and reunite, we'll form a Princess's Mansion army together. When we reach the Divine Realm, we'll team up to fight on the outer region battlefield," Yun Mengyu said, knowing she had countless heavy studies ahead of her. Though reluctant, she could only muster her spirits.

As a princess of the Immortal Dynasty, her status was extremely noble, with power surpassing that of emperors of various nations.

But the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and many princesses throughout history had died on the battlefield.

Even those who lived to old age, with little life left, often chose to return to the battlefield, like the Chaoyang King, using a grand battle as their funeral, hoping to take a demon king of the same level down with them.

This was because the overall situation for the human race on the outer region battlefield was not optimistic.

"Yes, I will definitely accompany you," Wang Fugui solemnly promised, "Together, we'll make a name for ourselves and show the outer region demons the might of the human race."

Hearing Wang Fugui's promise, Yun Mengyu felt reassured, even finding the grilled meat in her mouth more delicious.

After all, with her and Fugui's bloodline aptitude, reaching the Divine Realm would be very quick.

"Yiya yiya," Wang Bao Cai cheered from the side, expressing its desire to join them.

"Baocai, what can you do on the outer region battlefield?" Wang Fugui teased, "Are you going to dig up buried treasures underground?"

"Yiyaya!"

Feeling insulted, Wang Bao Cai angrily prepared a big move.

As streams of light surged, its trunk and branches became increasingly crystalline, and fruits began to form.

"Hey, hey, Baocai, don't mess around, this is the Yuhua Immortal Palace..." Wang Fugui hurriedly tried to stop it.

But Baocai didn't listen at all, "Yiyaya" expressing that it wanted to show its capabilities!

It continued to activate its treasure-gathering ability, and soon the fruits matured and burst open, dropping a pile of items on the ground.

"Top-grade spiritual stones?" Wang Fugui's sharp eyes spotted a shiny spiritual stone, and he was astonished, "Even top-grade spiritual stones can be lost?"

Just one of these was worth about a billion Top Gold, equivalent to ten million Immortal Crystals.

"It's not a big deal," Yun Mengyu, on the other hand, understood, "Past Immortal Emperors often used top-grade spiritual stones to assist in cultivation during the Void Realm to save time. Even Sister Yuling often collects top-grade spiritual stones for cultivation. This might be something left behind by a past Immortal Emperor."

"This pot is nice too."

Wang Fugui picked up a dirty pot, wiped it clean, and found it to be a wine pot with a spatial interior, capable of holding tens of thousands of catties of wine, worth at least a million Top Gold.

"Fugui, this sword, though broken, has the foundation of a Purple Mansion Treasure. It could be worth something if melted down," Yun Mengyu enthusiastically helped Fugui open the "blind box."

Baocai's treasure-gathering fruits were highly random. While most were "junk," there were often surprise treasures.

Sure enough, the quality of lost and ownerless items in the Immortal Palace was much higher than outside.

The two were having a great time opening the "blind boxes."

Now, it was Baocai's turn to be smug.

How could Baocai be useless? On the outer region battlefield, it might dig up lost Immortal Artifacts underground.

"What is this?"

Wang Fugui suddenly picked up a light blue large cloth from the ground.

What puzzled him was that the cloth was pentagonal, with some ribbons attached to the edges, prompting him to study it curiously. What was its purpose?

Yun Mengyu glanced at it and nearly fainted.

She quickly, with a flushed face, snatched the "large cloth" and threw it on the ground, "Fugui, you're not allowed to play with this unknown origin dudou!"

"Dudou?" Wang Fugui was confused, curiously eyeing the "silk handkerchief," "So this is a dudou."

As he spoke, his big black eyes glanced at Yun Mengyu.

"Don't look!" Yun Mengyu turned away, her face red, "And don't think nonsense."

As she spoke, she angrily kicked Wang Bao Cai twice, "You stupid thing, are you a Seven Treasures Gathering Tree or a Seven Treasures Gathering 'Color' Tree? This is the second time, the second time!"

"Yiya yiya~!" Wang Bao Cai protested in grievance.

What color? It's just a little sapling, it doesn't understand anything.

"Don't bully Baocai, Mengyu. It's still a child and hasn't been to school, what could it know?" Wang Fugui defended, "I didn't recognize it either. I only saw it in the Clan School books and didn't react at first."

Yun Mengyu was surprised, "Your Clan School teaches even this?"

"Of course, the Intermediate Clan School even has puberty health classes," Wang Fugui said matter-of-factly, "My Ancestor Grandfather said this knowledge is important for health and everyone should know it, nothing to hide."

Yun Mengyu felt relieved.

Wang Fugui's attitude made her feel much less awkward.

"By the way, Mengyu, do you also use this outdated dudou?" Wang Fugui frowned, "The book says this design isn't scientific, and things like chest wraps are even less recommended, too constricting. You're about the right age. Our Wang Clan's clothing store has opened in the Immortal Dynasty, I can find a female master to measure you..."

"Fugui, shut up!" Yun Mengyu was both embarrassed and angry, her chest heaving, "I'm still young, don't bring it up again!"

"Alright, it's not appropriate for me to discuss this with you. I'll talk to the Crown Princess and have her take you to the store for a fitting," Wang Fugui nodded, "Our Wang Clan is good at this, having abandoned unscientific dudous early on."

"......"

Yun Mengyu was about to explode.

It's not appropriate for you to discuss this with me, but is it appropriate to talk to my mom about it?

In the dilemma of "choosing the lesser of two evils," she'd rather have Fugui take her than let him talk to her mom!

Just as Yun Mengyu was feeling overwhelmed, the "dudou" she had thrown on the ground suddenly floated up, and a sharp male voice, full of anger, came from it.

"Abandon your head! Abandon your soul! Brat, when did we dudous offend you? What's unscientific about us? Where am I unscientific... wait, what does scientific mean?"

Both Yun Mengyu and Wang Fugui were startled, quickly pulling each other aside, "This dudou can talk?"

The light blue dudou flapped excitedly, its two thin straps curved like arms on its hips, angrily scolding, "What's wrong with me talking? As a Divine Spirit Artifact, how does my talking bother you? How does it... bother~ you~ boo hoo hoo~~ why~ boo hoo~ so heartless... even sealed me!"

As it spoke, it began to sob, sounding truly heartbroken, clearly with many stories.

"A dudou can be a Divine Spirit Artifact?" Wang Fugui was stunned, curiously asking, "As a Divine Spirit Artifact, you can be sealed?"

"I understand..." Yun Mengyu tugged Wang Fugui's sleeve, looking at the light blue dudou with disdain, "Being a Divine Spirit Artifact isn't a crime, and having a male consciousness isn't a crime either. But being a dudou..."

Wang Fugui's round face twitched.

Mengyu made a good point.

A dudou is worn close to the body, who would wear a dudou with a male consciousness?

It sounded like a comedy, but it was actually a complete tragedy.

For a moment, Wang Fugui felt a bit of sympathy, "Big brother, don't cry, you can vent your grievances to us.""I have stories, do you have wine?" The light blue dudou stopped crying, its voice sounding somewhat weathered.

"We're still kids, we don't have wine," Wang Fugui shook his head and said, "How about I roast some meat for you instead?"

"Do I look like someone who can eat roasted meat?" The light blue dudou fluttered slightly and said, "Forget it, forget it. I've been asleep for who knows how many years. If it weren't for you, the unknown past between me and 'Sister Nishuang' would have been buried forever. Here's how it goes..."

"Nishuang?" Wang Fugui frowned slightly, "The name sounds somewhat familiar. Have I heard it somewhere before?"

He had a good memory, and generally, anything he had seen would leave some impression. But the name [Nishuang] was something he couldn't quite recall at the moment. Could it be something he heard someone mention by chance?

"Isn't that the maiden name of our Han Yue Immortal Dynasty's second-generation Immortal Emperor, Shengwei Immortal Emperor?" Yun Mengyu's eyes drifted, her expression a bit bewildered, as if her worldview had shattered. "This tattered dudou is actually the dudou of Shengwei Immortal Emperor?"

However, thinking about it carefully, it's not entirely impossible. After all, besides the Immortal Emperor, who else's dudou could reach the level of a Divine Spirit Artifact?

But even if it were the Immortal Emperor, there's no reason for a dudou to develop consciousness, right?
