Three days later, the entire Zhao State City was in a frenzy.
The Empress had arrived in Zhao State City!
At the city gate, Chen Anlin rode a magnificent steed, leading the prominent figures of the city as they awaited her arrival.
Around noon, a massive treasure ship appeared in the distance, soaring through the sky.
The Emperor has come!
A chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd. This was their first time witnessing such a colossal treasure ship, and excitement coursed through them.
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live!"
As Wu Xixue descended gracefully from the treasure ship, Chen Anlin led everyone to kneel in reverence.
Under the sunlight, Wu Xixue's stunning beauty captivated all who beheld her.
She was simply breathtaking.
However, none of the men present dared to entertain any inappropriate thoughts.
It was no joke; even a fleeting glance could lead to their demise at the hands of the Empress, as easily as crushing an ant.
Wu Xixue noticed Chen Anlin looking lively and accompanied by a beautiful girl, and she couldn't help but nod slightly, feeling relieved.
After all, if this young man still had the energy to pursue romance, it meant he was in good health.
Following this, Wu Xixue entered the City Lord's Mansion with Chen Anlin by her side.
"Chen Anlin, you’ve really impressed me. Your strength has become unfathomable; I heard you defeated two formidable experts with a single move!" Wu Xixue remarked with narrowed eyes.
To be honest, she was taken aback when she heard this news on her way here. Those two experts were not ordinary individuals; even in her prime, she would have found them challenging to face.
But now she was different.
"Your Majesty, it was merely luck," Chen Anlin replied humbly as he followed closely behind her.
"Don't be modest; I know you well enough. It seems you've gained quite a lot from that relic site, including an immortal pill. Hurry up and show it to me!" Wu Xixue asked eagerly.
At this moment, Chen Anlin felt a bit awkward.
"Your Majesty, I consumed the immortal herb. At that time, I took a blood-boosting tonic, which had side effects that caused my cultivation to decline. I had no choice but to consume that herb," Chen Anlin explained.
Wu Xixue asked, "Is it gone?"
Chen Anlin nodded.
Wu Xixue sighed, "What if it was an immortal seed? I could have found a way to help you condense the seed! Do you even know what kind of medicine that was? You just ate it without thinking?"
"It was an emergency back then. But looking at it now, it seems I didn't make a mistake; my cultivation has improved tremendously."
"Come in; I'll check your body," Wu Xixue said, shaking her head.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Inside the small room, Chen Anlin lifted his shirt, allowing Wu Xixue to sense his energy.
"The immortal energy is still there, but unfortunately, you lack the immortal seed to fully absorb it," she noted.
Wu Xixue's hand was cool yet soft as she placed it on his abdomen, and Chen Anlin felt an unusual sensation.
Unconsciously, Wu Xixue sensed the heat radiating from Chen Anlin's body.
"Useless; this won't do," she muttered under her breath, though a sense of pride swelled within her. "Indeed, my charm is quite powerful."
"Your Majesty, things like immortal seeds are hard to come by. It seems I won't be able to serve you anymore!" Chen Anlin said as he lowered his shirt, feeling somewhat melancholic.
Those were his heartfelt words.
The Empress would surely ascend the path of immortality, but what about him?
It was said that those who became immortals lived long lives.
And he would be lucky to live for two more years.
"Don't worry; I will ascend soon and take you with me," Wu Xixue said earnestly.
Chen Anlin was taken aback. "Your Majesty, you're not joking with me, are you?"
"When have I ever joked?" Wu Xixue shot him a sidelong glance, her expression unwavering.
"Then when will you ascend?" he asked.
"In three years!"
Boom!
Chen Anlin was stunned.
This time, the task of finding the three-tailed fish demon was the final layer for setting up the Spirit Locking Great Array. Now it had transformed into the Spirit Summoning Great Array. With my cultivation having reached the peak of the second rank, I should be able to enter the first rank within a year! At that time, I will begin to plan for ascending to immortality.
After a moment's thought, Wu Xixue handed a yellowed ancient book to Chen Anlin.
"This is..."
"This book contains the method for ascending to immortality. You are now qualified to read it," she said.
Chen Anlin was shocked!!
It was indeed the method for ascending to immortality.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Anlin swallowed hard and excitedly accepted the book.
Next, he carefully examined the contents within.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but when he finally raised his head, he realized he was the only one left in the room.
Touching his neck, he closed the book, feeling an overwhelming sense of emotion.
He now knew the specific method for ascending to immortality!
Their realm belonged to the lower realm, also known as the mortal realm.
The immortal realm was referred to as the upper realm!
To cultivate immortality, one must go to the upper realm.
Thus, the so-called method for ascending to immortality was a way to reach the upper realm!!
There were three types of methods for ascending to immortality.
The first type was if you had someone in the upper realm.
Then, at the right moment, someone from the upper realm would come down to fetch you.
However, this situation was extremely rare; it wasn't easy for someone from the upper realm to come down.
Only those exceptionally powerful beings could do so.
But such powerful beings often lived for over a thousand years.
After a thousand years in the lower realm, several generations would have passed; thus, even if these powerful beings came down, they would not find their old acquaintances. Therefore, very few came down from the upper realm.
Nonetheless, throughout history, there have been instances where people from the upper realm descended. These events were recorded in history and each time they occurred, they caused great upheaval.
