"Empress, you sure came at the right time," Su Chen said from the bottom of his heart.
It felt as if she had come on a stopwatch. If she had come a little earlier, Su Chen wouldn't have had to suffer like this. If she had come a little later, the Mountain Man would've escaped.
The Heavenly Empress said indifferently, "I arrived a long time ago, but I saw that you guys were having so much fun, so I didn't attack right away."
Su Chen: "…"
Big Sister, are you kidding me? I was almost sucked dry by a bunch of mosquitoes!
Alright, Su Chen didn't blame the Heavenly Empress. The fact that she was protecting him from the shadows was enough to give him a sense of security. However, from this, it could be seen that this Heavenly Empress … was definitely not as reliable as she appeared to be.
In some ways, she seemed to have the innocence of a young girl, but at the same time, she was also a little mischievous.
Perhaps her inner world was far more colorful than what she appeared to be.
That wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"By the way, Empress, did you encounter that evil ghost?" Su Chen hurriedly asked.
The Heavenly Empress nodded. "After you guys fell off the cliff, I chased after you, but I was stopped by that evil ghost. This evil ghost is an undead vengeful spirit. In order to destroy its body, I had to go through a lot of trouble. Fortunately, you guys chose to continue falling. If you had chosen to climb up the cliff, you would've been eaten by that evil ghost."
The little black dragon had already reverted back to his little boy form. He walked over with a timid expression. "Little Black was too careless and caused trouble. Please punish me, Empress."
"It was an unintentional mistake. Don't worry about it," the Heavenly Empress said.
Her gaze fell upon the green skeleton on the ground. She turned to Su Chen and said, "I'll leave it to you."
Su Chen didn't hold back. He immediately used his Soul Control and Soul Devouring Technique to devour the enormous soul power contained within the skeleton.
As the soul was absorbed by Su Chen, Su Chen began to understand the background of this Mountain Man.
In his early years, he was also one of the Underworld Kings of the Underworld. He came to the Eight Desolation Mountains to train and search for opportunities. He accidentally entered an ancient sealed land and encountered an extremely powerful mosquito there. That mosquito sucked his flesh and blood and even gave birth to countless larvae on his body, parasitizing him.
From then on, the Nether King was trapped in the Vast Desolation and was responsible for finding prey for the giant mosquito.
However, the Blissful Tavern was not built by the Great Desolation Mountain Man. It was an ancient existence that originally existed in the Great Desolation. The Blissful Tavern had a mysterious ability to attract people. As long as a guest came to the Blissful Tavern and felt the blissful emotions, their soul would be taken away by the Blissful Tavern and be controlled by the Blissful Tavern.
Because Su Chen and Xiao Hei's strength were extraordinary, the Desolate did not have the confidence to win in a direct confrontation, so he wanted to trick Su Chen. Unfortunately, Su Chen was too cautious and did not fall for his trick, so he had no choice but to attack directly.
"Whoosh …"
Su Chen used the Immortal Soul Transformation to convert all the soul energy he had devoured into pure Immortal Qi. The energy he had expended in the battle just now was completely replenished. There was still a lot left. Su Chen injected the excess Immortal Qi into the Jiuli Immortal Gourd to cultivate the Immortal Medicine.
Su Chen then told the Heavenly Empress all the information he had obtained.
"Giant mosquito?
It should be an ancient demonic creature that was sealed in the Eight Desolation Mountains. Do you know where it is?
Take me to see it. "The Heavenly Empress said with interest.
Su Chen sweated. "You really want to go?
That giant mosquito is quite powerful. "
"Go. If you're afraid, just wait outside when we reach the place."
"Afraid?
That's not going to happen. The word 'afraid' does not exist in Su Chen's dictionary. "
After all, the Empress was leading the way. If he went, he might be able to get some opportunities.
Taking the risk to come to the Eight Desolation Mountains, he should at least get something.
Just as he was about to leave, Su Chen suddenly turned around and looked at the dilapidated Paradise Inn. "This inn is very strange. Do you know where it came from, Empress?"
"This inn itself is very ordinary, but its former owner left behind an extremely ancient and powerful mark of karma. This mark is still intact to this day. Although it is useless to me, it might be of some help to you in comprehending the power of karma," the Heavenly Empress said.
The Heavenspan Empress said. She waved her white hand, and it was like a fluttering butterfly. It was like she was peeling silk from a cocoon in the void, and she peeled off a red mark that seemed to have been carved by a blade.
The red mark turned into a red ribbon and fell into Su Chen's palm.
"What exactly is this mark of karma?"
"Karma is the will of the heavens. Mortals cannot see it. If you use the power of karma well, you can turn some karma into energy and carve it into the mortal world. The mark left behind in this way is the mark of karma.
You can also think of it as a fragment of a law. Once you gather enough fragments and refine them, you will be able to create a copy of the Law of Karma in your Destiny.
Most of the cultivators in the mortal world master the law of karma in this way. Legend has it that the real law of karma in the world is actually the twelve marks of karma left behind by the Twelve Ancestors of Chaos. All the karma of later generations is derived from the twelve marks of karma left behind by the Twelve Ancestors of Chaos. "
"The Twelve Ancestors of Chaos?" Su Chen's expression changed. "The mighty people of the Chaos Era?
Was Pangu one of them? "
The Heavenly Empress nodded. "In the Chaos Era, heaven and earth were not separated. There were few living creatures in the world. Only the Twelve Ancestors of Chaos could rely on their own strength to move freely in the sea of chaos. As far as I know, the Twelve Ancestors of Chaos were originally one. At first, they were called the Primordial Gods of Chaos."
Su Chen was a little fascinated. He had no chance to experience the mysterious Chaos Era, but Su Chen was quite happy to hear more about it.
Su Chen could not help but think that Lin Yuerou's master, the Primordial Empress, could be one of the Twelve Ancestors of Chaos?
Su Chen wanted to ask, but after thinking carefully, he realized that the Primordial Empress was just a title. He did not know her real name, so he did not know where to start.
Forget it, now was not the time to worry about this.
Su Chen held the marks of karma tightly in his hand, sat down cross-legged without saying a word, and began to refine them.
"It's so complicated …"
The marks of karma contained infinite mysteries, as if they contained the truth of the whole world. They were the quantitative embodiment of the order of all things.
Simply put, if the whole world was compared to a game, then the power of karma was like the programming code of the game. It was the embodiment of the rules of the world's operation. The marks of karma were a piece of code contained in it. Even if it was only a small piece, the amount of information and data it contained was so huge that it was beyond imagination.
Refining the marks of karma was different from refining other treasures of heaven and earth. The whole process was more like analyzing a piece of encrypted data.
It was extremely difficult.
But Su Chen liked to take on difficult challenges.
Moreover, this kind of task only required a lot of time. To him, it was not challenging at all.
I have enough skill points.
"Activate the acceleration system. I want to refine this mark of karma in the shortest time possible!"
