Chapter 503 Am I a person without principles?
"Besides the Qi Refining Realm, there are four other major realms above it: Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation."
Killing a Qi Refining cultivator is as easy for a Foundation Establishment cultivator as slicing a watermelon; they can crush them with ease.
Above the cultivation world lies the even higher Spirit Realm, whose realms are divided into four major stages: 'Spirit Division, Void Refinement, Body Integration, and Mahayana'.
Only after cultivating to the perfection of the Mahayana realm can one transcend tribulation and ascend to the Immortal Realm.
In fact, in some advanced star systems, the cultivation world and the spirit world are one.
Only low-level star systems with scarce spiritual energy would divide it into two parts.
Judging from Xuan Yuan Jinmo's words, most of the people who came to Huangtian Demon City should be from the Spirit Realm.
Moreover, it's populated by many powerful individuals; it might even be a gathering place for powerful figures from various spirit realms.
"Look," he said, pointing to the corpse with his chin, "a Nascent Soul Realm expert has fallen here, and nobody's even come to collect his body."
Finally, he gave the two of them a look, leaving them to interpret it themselves.
Even those at the Nascent Soul stage only end up as corpses left to rot in the wilderness, so you can imagine what level a Qi Refining stage cultivator is in here.
Even calling them ants is a great respect for them.
Emperor Tianhuang knew that the Little Giant Pit was targeting them.
Regardless of their previous status in the Eastern Kingdom, once they arrive in the Demon City, they are just among the lowest-ranking members.
To survive, one must keep a low profile and behave oneself.
This feeling is truly... more unpleasant than ever before!
Emperor Tianhuang pursed his thin lips, then gave a bitter smile.
Even when faced with the Long family's attempt to rebel, he was able to handle the situation with ease and never worried about his own predicament.
If Long Yuan could truly do better than him, Emperor Tianhuang could keep him in that position indefinitely.
After Longyuan's hundred years, imperial power will still fall back into the hands of the imperial family.
The one who made the first mistake was the Emperor, but out of consideration for their brotherhood, he was willing to grant Longyuan's wish to become Emperor for the first time.
If Longyuan doesn't do well, Di Tianhuang feels he can turn the tide without much effort.
Even when facing death, he still had a gamble involved, betting that he wouldn't actually die.
He won the bet.
Now, ha! In the face of absolute power, everything is just empty talk.
However, there's no need to be as subservient as Little Giant Pit hopes.
After all, they weren't completely without leverage.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that Mu Yunya wanted to go to the center of the grass, Di Tianhuang grabbed her arm.
"Hiss! Let go!"
Emperor Tianhuang loosened his grip slightly, but showed no intention of letting go.
Looking at her face contorted in pain, her brows furrowed tightly.
How long has it been since I've seen her up close like this?
Gazing at that face, Emperor Tianhuang felt an indescribable mix of emotions.
As a friend, Mu Yunya is truly a person of noble character and integrity, worthy of being a close friend to anyone.
He is also included.
But Longyuan and the others were also his friends.
Emperor Tianhuang did not want those people to repeat the same mistakes.
For a strong man, Mu Yunya would indeed be a very good partner choice.
She exudes a man's desire to conquer, protect, and experience novelty in every way.
It's normal to be favored by the opposite sex.
But not everyone.
He always felt that this time would be different from the time with Bai Luoluo. When it came to Bai Luoluo, those people never suppressed their feelings.
They were proactive, bold, enthusiastic, and eager to compete.
Looking back now, it seems more like a group of children fighting over a toy, where falling behind meant losing.
However, he remained silent and composed when dealing with Mu Yunya, which surprised Emperor Tianhuang.
Emperor Tianhuang wasn't too worried at first, because Mu Yunya's heart was as firm as a rock, and she didn't like men.
However, he recently discovered that when Mu Yunya faced Huangfu Zique's probing, she no longer only felt disgust, but instead simply tried to avoid him.
This shows that she has realized that Huangfu Zique is not just playing around. Because she knows that he is serious, she finds it difficult to face him and thus begins to run away.
This is not a good sign.
She would also deliberately avoid looking into Long Yuan's eyes.
If Long Yuan and the others' hopes aren't nipped in the bud, and Mu Yunya starts to reciprocate their feelings, things might really turn into a falling out between the brothers.
This is definitely not what Emperor Tianhuang wanted to see.
He now only hopes to end this trip as soon as possible so that he can send Mu Yunya back to her original world.
It's good to let Zique and the others face reality as soon as possible, and then return to a normal life.
That trajectory without Bai Luoluo and Mu Yunya's involvement.
Breaking free from the Emperor's embrace, Mu Zhen kept her eyes glued to the male corpse: "Oh, I'm just going to take a look. It'll be alright, I'll be careful."
Emperor Tianhuang: ...
Don't think he doesn't know what she's up to.
She's already been stripped down to just her shorts, what else is there for her to pick up?
The woman was determined to go her own way, and Emperor Tianhuang had no choice but to follow her.
Mu Zhen avoided looking at the corpse's face, staring intently at the man's trousers, crouching low like a thief and slowly inching forward.
Emperor Tianhuang could not imitate her mannerisms. He stood with his hands behind his back, ramrod straight, and only followed after the woman had taken a few steps, his face dark with anger.
Approaching the corpse, Mu Zhen squatted down without making a sound, his eyes practically functioning as a detector.
[Tsk tsk tsk! They really ransacked them until they were down to just their underwear!]
He hooked his index finger towards the pair of underwear.
Emperor Tianhuang: ...
His face got even darker.
Veins bulged on his forehead; he couldn't understand how such a bizarre person could exist in the world.
This person is someone important, how can you not even leave them their last shred of dignity?
"Enough! It's so dirty. Even if it were a treasure, could you even wear it?"
If she really dares to wear it, he'll set up a special isolation zone for her.
So as not to pollute everyone's eyes!
"Who said I wanted his underwear?" Mu Zhen looked at the filthy shorts and was disgusted with them.
Besides, do I look like someone without principles?
Emperor Tianhuang: ...
I don't want to say anything except for a cold laugh.
Mu Zhen pulled out a knife and cut open the fabric at the waistband of the corpse's trousers: "Look,"
The pants have an elastic waistband, so there's no need to tie a drawstring and they won't slip down.
But he went to the extra trouble of tying on a strap; don't you find that strange?"
After cutting the fabric open, a black object was indeed found inside, which was carefully pulled out.
"Ha! This looks like it's made of animal sinew."
There were also many strange pictures and texts on it. Mu Zhen picked up the black ribbon and shook it in front of Emperor Tianhuang.
That smug little look seemed to be a subtle way of mocking the other person for being so careless.
This kid always acts all high and mighty, thinking he has amazing insight.
Turns out, they're not as discerning as my eyes!
Emperor Tianhuang stepped slightly to the side, afraid that the black ribbon would swing onto him.
Mu Zhen didn't expect any response from Emperor Tianhuang. He played with the black belt and glanced at the corpse with a smile.
People are all the same; the more precious something is, the deeper it is hidden. A cunning rabbit has three burrows; a storage bag might be stolen, but something sewn into your underwear is a different story.
He was just talking nonsense. He was simply curious about how elastic waistband pants existed in ancient times.
Who would have thought? There's a hidden secret inside!
