Chapter 71: The Empress of Sky Yuan

Translator: 549690339

The Tianyuan Empress, Yu Yin, was born in an ordinary family. However, her exceptional beauty and extraordinary talent since young caught the eye of the Crown Prince of Heaven Origin. He selected her as his Crown Princess Consort, fed her many heavenly treasures, and intended to groom her as a candidate for the Human Emperor.

It was well known that Empress Yu was the Crown Princess Consort selected to become the Human Emperor by the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty.

The Human Emperor wasn’t chosen by someone ordinary, but by the Nine Provinces Earth Veins.

The Nine Provinces Earth Veins naturally ignored Yu Yin’s identity, hence she managed to become a candidate for the Human Emperor.

Her talent among the candidates for the Human Emperor was outstanding, and she had high chances of becoming the Human Emperor. However, there was the formidable Jiang Li among the candidates, and she was destined to be merely outshone by him.

Knowing her inability to surpass Jiang Li to become the Human Emperor, she took the initiative to withdraw from the competition and returned to the

Crown Prince’s side when she had already reached the Body Integration Realm.

The Crown Prince was furious with Yu Yin’s decision. He was indifferent of whether or not she could surpass Jiang Li; all he knew was that he could obtain a wife who could potentially become the Human Emperor and manipulate her as he pleased – it gave him a sense of conquest.

Now, he lost that opportunity.

The Crown Prince thought that as Yu Yin was once from a small family, he could still bully her as he used to.

Ever since the day Yu Yin became the Crown Princess Consort, she had been beaten and scolded by the Crown Prince, who still thought he could treat her the same way.

Yu Yin resisted, and her resistance infuriated the Crown Prince. The two ended up in a fight and the Crown Prince, who was also at the Body Integration

Realm, was killed by Yu Yin after a brief exchange of less than ten moves.

If it wasn’t for Jiang Li, Yu Yin would probably be the Human Emperor. Even Bai Hongtu lacked the confidence to overcome her.

When the Emperor of Heaven Origin learned about the death of his son, he was furious. He invoked the national destiny into battle to eliminate this treacherous woman.

With the national destiny enhancing the Emperor of Heaven Origin to the

Transcendance Tribulation Stage, it was improbable for Yu Yin to triumph. However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, the Ruyi Gourd broke free from the control of the royal family and ended up in Yu Yin’s hands.

With the Immortal Artifact in her hands, after a fierce battle, Yu Yin killed the Emperor of Heaven Origin, ascended the throne, and became the Tianyuan Empress.

“Some members of the imperial family are not giving up yet. They are reminiscing about the glorious past and are hoping to rally some external forces to overthrow me now that I have lost the Ruyi Gourd.”

“I saw them being hesitant and was unable to decide on a plan, so I pretended to show signs of falling into madness, luring them to strike first.”

Jiang Li fell silent for a moment before asking, “Are you planning to use this opportunity to break through the Body In tegration Realm?”

Given that three hundred years have passed, it was anticipated that Yu Yin would be at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, as with Jiang Li who had reached the Mahayana Realm and Bai Hongtu who had reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

However, the national destiny was both a blessing and a restriction. It increased the intangible resistance to cultivation when carried.

Yu Yin got out of bed; her snow-white silk stockings stepped onto the ground, light as a feather, without making a sound. She sat at the table, without withholding anything from Jiang Li.

“Yes, there is great fear and opportunity in life and death. If I continue to live a mundane life, I’m unsure when I can break through the Body Integration Realm.”

“You hold on to the Ruyi Gourd for now. If I still hold on to it, it won’t be considered a life-and-death challenge. It’s only when I have nowhere to retreat that it truly becomes a life-and-death test. So, if I lose at that time, you just watch me die without lending a hand, or else I would hate you for the rest of my life!”

Jiang Li knew about Yu Yin’s character, hence he said, “The rest of the Immortal Artifacts have also been retrieved by me, but not many people know about it. I will inform them, but ask them to keep it a secret for now.”

Yu Yin slightly raised the corners of her mouth and showed a gentle smile, making her appear exceptionally beautiful.

“Master, I missed you so much!” The Ruyi Gourd flew out from Jiang Li’s waist and pounced towards Yu Yin. “There were too many Immortal Artifacts back then. If I did not pretend to be furious, they would not let me off! Please forgive me, Master!”

Yu Yin stepped on the Ruyi Gourd with her foot, and her jade foot covered by soft white stockings caused the gourd to roll back and forth. She then kicked the gourd to Jiang Li.

“Keep an eye on it, don’t let it take action either.”

“There is another matter. Consider it as a favor,” Yu Yin said seriously. “If those people find out that you are in the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, they will be cautious about the relationship between us and will not dare to act. Can you please tell them that you are going to other worlds to look for Immortal Artifacts, and that you will be gone for at least a few months?”

“I can.”

After Jiang Li left, a few palace maids quickly went to take care of Yu Yin in her palace, and subtly inquired about what Jiang Li had said.

Yu Yin pretended not to see through the thoughts of the maids and casually mentioned that Jiang Li was going to leave the Nine Provinces for a few months, as well as expressing her own desire to see different worlds.

Once one of the maids got the information, she served Yu Yin for a while before passing on the message.

Longyin City is not far from the capital of the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty. It is a prosperous city under the rule of an entity at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Two men and a woman felt somewhat helpless about the current situation.

“I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you could have left here a long time ago,” said Song Ying, her eyes red, clearly having cried once.

Qin Luan frowned. He didn’t like to see others cry, especially Song Ying.

Angrily, he said, “The Long family is unreasonable, abducting women by force. We only did the right thing by helping out. It’s a pity that in such a big Longyin

City, no one else dares to step forward!”

“I warned you both early on. It’s good to gain experience in the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, but you need to consider the repercussions of taking actions.

We could have dealt with the third young master of the Long family secretly. There was no need to confront him publicly!” Yuan Wuxing, as Qin Luan’s master, hoped that Qin Luan and Song Ying would learn a lesson from this incident.

Qin Luan and Yuan Wuxing came to the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, the most chaotic of the human empires, for experience, and Song Ying followed Qin Luan here.

Growing up in the stable and orderly Great Zhou, Qin Luan and Song Ying were shocked with the chaos in the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty.

The people here worshipped strength to the extreme. The local government of Longyin City was only a major power. There were also millennia-old families like the Long family that held a status that rivaled the City Lord and often overrode the government’s power and wreaked havoc.

The third young master of the Long family openly abducted other people’s wives and daughters, and no one dared to intervene. If this were in the Great Zhou, this young master would have been imprisoned for as long as he lived.

Through empathy, Qin Luan and Song Ying belittled the Golden Core Stage third young master of the Long family and his henchmen with their prowess of the Foundation Establishment Peak.

Furthermore, Longyin City often held large competitions. Qin Luan was attracted by the rewards, participated in the competition, met the third young master of the Long family again, disregarded his threats, directly crippled him, and comfortably achieved Core Formation.

The third young master of the Long family had never suffered such humiliation. That night, he sent a Yuan Wuxing Guest Elder to kill Qin Luan and intended to take Song Ying, who was rather attractive, as his concubine.

Who would have expected that Qin Luan and Song Ying were backed by Yuan Wuxing, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, who prevailed against the veteran Nascent Soul Guest Elder.

Knowing that they couldn’t keep provoking them and eventually alerting the Divinity Transformation ancestor of the Long family, Qin Luan, Song Ying, and Yuan Wuxing made plans to leave.

However, the Long family was the local overlord, so leaving was easier said than done.

“It seems you three have been through a lot,” Jiang Li said laughingly as he opened the door and walked in..
