"About that... Are you sure your sister did not inherit any True God position after you died?"
Yun Che's question made Jasmine quiet. As she thought about it, her face changed, and a horrified expression appeared on her face.
"I must hurry!" And she panicked.
Jasmine thought, if her little sister really ended up inheriting True God inheritance, wouldn't her father change his target to her now? Just the thought of it alone sent chills down Jasmine's spine and made her stomach crunch with a nauseous feeling.
"Calm down." Yun Che patted her head, trying to calm her down and explained. "Did you not say that one of the conditions is to be a peak divine master? Surely, no matter how talented your sister is, she would not reach divine master in a year's worth of time, right? Since that's the case, there is no need to rush anything."
Hearing him, Jasmine finally calmed down.
"You're right. No matter how talented she is, she cannot reach the divine master realm in a year's worth of time."
"Yes, not everyone is like me. Don't worry. Your man is special."
Jasmine suddenly felt her heart jump when Yun Che called himself "her man." This weird feeling of butterflies flying within her stomach... this was the first time she felt it, and she loved this feeling absolutely!
"Also, since it's your problem, then it's my problem. Once I am done with everything on this star, I will go to God Realm to take care of your father."
"He is NOT my father!"
"Yes, yes. He is not your father." Like calming down a puppy, Yun Che kept rubbing her head and chin, and it worked miraculously, seeing how Jasmine almost purred herself into his embrace.
"Anyways, we should be able to get Netherworld Udumbara Flower on this continent."
"Really?" Jasmine asked, surprised.
The conditions for the growth of Netherworld Udumbara Flower were quite special. Netherworld Udumbara Flower was an extreme yin and evil object. It only grew in dark and cold lands, nearly taking an entire twenty-four years to bloom once.
Jasmine was surprised that this land had a place of extreme yin and evil for the growth of Netherworld Udumbara Flower.
"Did you not feel it?" Yun Che asked with slight confusion, thinking with her senses, she should have felt the darkness profound energy.
But then his expression changed as he remembered that Heretic God created a sub-dimension to create a profound world of darkness for his daughter, so she probably didn't feel it.
"Use your senses, and you will understand."
Jasmine nodded. Her divine senses spread out of her body and instantly covered the whole of Azure Cloud Continent. Suddenly, her expression changed.
"How can such a dark world exist on this planet!?"
Darkness profound energy was not a joke, and a place containing such darkness profound energy even more so. If news of this were to spread in God Realm, Jasmine feared that this star would be destroyed instantly by the righteous people.
"When I consumed Water Seed, I found out that it was a Heretic God who created this sub-dimension filled with darkness, profound energy, and beasts. If we look in such a place, we are sure to find the Netherworld Udumbara Flower."
Jasmine nodded, still dazed at the fact that such a sub-dimension existed. She also started to wonder why a Heretic God created such a dimension. He must have a reason behind it!
"Yun Che, this princess will go and investigate that place. With your current strength, going there is dangerous. The darkness's profound energy would erode your body faster than you can do anything."
"... Alright." Yun Che didn't deny her either. Darkness's profound energy cannot hurt him, but Jasmine didn't know. Either way, he was going to visit that place in a week or so for You'er, so he was not in a hurry.
After spending some more time in Yun Che's embrace and enjoying his touches, Jasmine turned into a crimson blur and vanished.
"I should also create Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus before Qingyue wakes up." Yun Che said before taking out the ingredients needed for Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus and, with the help of Poison Pearl, got busy making the pellet for Qingyue's ascension.
The rest of the time went in silence, and the only sound which could be heard was the soft breathing of Qingyue sleeping.
The whole process of making Emperor Awakening Heart Pellet was not hard for him. He just needed ingredients, which he had, and carefully used Poison Pearl's power to create the pellet.
Though the process itself was not instant and took some time, by the time the sun was close to setting, Yun Che was done.
The moment the process was finished, Yun Che felt a gentle gaze on his back, forcing him to turn around just to find Qingyue staring at him.
"You're awake." A smile appeared on Yun Che's face. He gently held Qingyue's hand and said, "I was worried that something might have happened to you."
"Um." Softly, she shook her head and replied, "Just... a little tired."
"It's good then."
Qingyue's eyes landed on the pill within Yun Che's hand, releasing intense medical fragrance. She looked at it and then at Yun Che before asking.
"Is that..."
"Yes. This is the Emperor Awakening Pellet! This will allow you to enter the Emperor Profound Realm in one step!"
"Husband..." Qingyue's eyes instantly became misty as she stared dreamily at Yun Che's face. She felt blessed and sad at the same time; blessed to be Yun Che's wife and sad that she left him before.
"Why so emotional all of a sudden?" Yun Che chuckled and gently held her hand, massaging it. "Did I not say it before? You are my wife, Qingyue. Me helping you is normal."
"Well, enough of this. Here, you should take it. The faster it's digested, the better the results would be. I will stay and guard this place, so you do not have to worry about getting sneak attacked by anyone."
Qingyue nodded and stared at the pill placed in her hands by Yun Che. She looked up and saw Yun Che standing up; she hurriedly called him, "Husband."
"Hm?"
Yun Che stopped and turned around, his eyes widening slightly at the feel of softness over his lips. It only lasted for a blissful moment before it vanished.
Yun Che stared at the crimson-faced Qingyue who refused to look into his eyes, his lips curled up slightly.
"Well, take your time."
Qingyue was new to all of this and had no idea how the relationship between a man and woman worked. Even this action is estimated to be done because she thought kissing should be what someone in a relationship should do.
Yun Che could tell that if he pushed her too much, her mind might end up overheating. It was best to let her digest the pill first and then do the deed.
'It has been a while since I checked the menu... I wonder if there are any useful skills on it right now.'
A holographic screen appeared in front of Yun Che's face, and he started to read through the rows upon rows of skills in front of his eyes.
The more he read, the more he felt like he was becoming dumb; the number of skills recorded within the menu was so much that it hurt his brain just to read them.
'Well, in simple terms, I am OP now...'
His finger moved and clicked on the map function, and a new window popped up in front of him, showing the map he was in right now.
Without much thought, he used "All-map Exploration," and all the greyed-out areas became clear instantly. Even the position of all the treasures had appeared on the map.
'This is... the second half of the Sky Poison Pearl! And it's moving too? I guess "Master" already has it. I should go and get it. Anyways, I already have space manipulation... moving from this continent to another shouldn't pose me much trouble. Though the energy consumption is disgustingly massive, if I install teleportation points and then feed it profound energy from the atmosphere, I can be freed from the burden of providing it with energy to use every time.'
Yun Che crossed his hands over his chest and leaned his back against the wall near the window, staring at the cased sky in silence, lost in thought.
'Now that all three major sects' main forces are dead, especially Heavenly Sword Villa, I should have Cang Yue take them over completely. She is my woman, and I'd rather not have snakes dwelling within the home of my woman. She will be the empress of this whole star!'
'Also, once this tournament finishes, Sacred Ground will also send people to capture me, most likely... The best way would be to make Yufeng the leader of Sacred Grounds.'
He stared at the disciples running towards the center of the Grandwake Clan from where he could feel the pulses of profound energy, his eyes narrowed.
'I also need to take care of Asgard... It's the simplest thing to do among all the things out there. And I now also have the materials for Jasmine's resurrection completed.' Yun Che's lips curled up, and he licked them. 'The wine has been refined, shouldn't it be time I tasted it?'
"Big Brother Yun..."
The sudden soft voice of Su Ling'er pulled Yun Che out of his thoughts, and he looked towards her.
Standing at the door with a tray in her hands containing food, she looked nervous and panicked. Though she tried her best to hide it, due to all the skills Yun Che possesses, it would be a miracle to hide anything from his perception.
"...Ling'er brought food for Big Sister." She gave a meditative Qingyue a glance before continuing. "Also, Father said that Big Brother Yun shouldn't leave the clan today. Due to certain reasons... it's dangerous outside."
"Is that so?"
Yun Che smiled and walked closer to Su Ling'er. He kneeled down on one knee and gently held Su Ling'er's hand. His eyes softened, and he stared into the big eyes of Ling'er.
"Ling'er... you should know that your Big Brother Yun is strong, right?"
The feeling of extreme familiarity and comfort that she had felt when she first met Yun Che returned once again, and her hold over Yun Che's hand tightened.
Her body, which was tense, relaxed unconsciously as she felt a weird warmth feeling her very existence.
"Um. Big Brother Yun is the strongest person in Ling'er's eyes."
The trust in her eyes, expression, and words that Su Ling'er showed towards Yun Che would have baffled other people. The fact that they had only met once that morning would make them suspicious that Yun Che might have brainwashed her or something.
"Then why don't you believe in me?" Yun Che smiled softly. He raised his hand and gently placed it over Su Ling'er's face, causing her to close her eyes with a content expression. "Just tell me everything, and I will solve it all for you. You do not have to worry about my or anyone else's safety. Except for my master, there is not a single person on this planet who can hurt me."
