Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 68 The Demon Emperor Bestows a Fate! His Ultimate Skill: The Heaven-Shattering Battle Techni

'Master, don't be angry. I won't do it again next time...' Bai Xian'er said weakly as she saw Shen Yun looking at the figure in the void.

She knew Shen Yun was worried about her safety, but she was equally concerned for her master's well-being: 'Anyway, I can recover quickly from injuries, but I won't allow my master to get hurt!'

Composing herself, she looked at the mysterious figure revered by the native people: the Monkey King!

Amidst the golden light, the Great Sage's illusory figure treads on clouds and mist, clad in bright golden armor. His mouth, though resembling the Thunder God's, is not sharp, and his deeply lined face bears the marks of time.

Although he looked extremely old, like a senile old monkey, the aura he exuded was incredibly domineering, and no one dared to underestimate him because of his aged appearance.

Especially his eyes, which seemed to pierce straight into one's heart, radiated a chilling golden light. When he gazed upon one, it was as if he could penetrate one's soul and see into the deepest secrets of one's heart, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.

After observing the man and the two demons, the old monkey dimmed the golden light in his eyes and gave Shen Yun a kind smile:

"You're so thoughtful."

This is clearly referring to Shen Yun saving the golden monkey.

For the Monkey King to say such a thing, this golden-haired baby monkey must be very important to him!

'Luckily I remembered it and didn't overlook this little monkey...' Shen Yun secretly rejoiced.

Otherwise, even if he defeats the stone golem, he might not be able to summon the Great Sage.

Shen Yun solemnly clasped his hands in thanks: "It was nothing, senior, no need for thanks!"

After giving him a deep look, the old monkey turned his gaze to Bai Xian'er beside him, his expression leisurely:

"The Death-Slaying Emperor Curse... A bunch of clowns, still coveting the fortune of the seven ancient imperial beasts..."

'The Death-Snatching Emperor-Splitting Curse?' Shen Yun and Bai Xian'er exchanged a glance; the name of this curse sounded ominous.

Since it concerned her, Bai Xian'er asked curiously:

"Great Sage, what is the Life-Taking Emperor-Splitting Curse? Will it harm me?"

"Great Sage?" The old monkey raised an eyebrow.

Seeing this, Shen Yun knew that the other person was not Sun Wukong, so he told him the general content of Journey to the West.

The golden-haired monkey next to him also got excited and recounted the glorious deeds of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He spoke with great enthusiasm, wishing he were the Great Sage Equaling Heaven himself to eliminate demons and evil.

"Hehe." The old monkey's tone was very casual:

"It seems those hypocritical Buddhas were so afraid of being killed that they ended up giving me a good reputation."

'That statement is quite revealing...' Shen Yun thought to himself, secretly alarmed.

The old monkey in front of us must have had an amazing experience!

"I am not Sun Wukong, but I do indeed have the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven." As the old monkey said this, his aura visibly trembled slightly.

"My name is the Great Heaven Demon Emperor!"

Back in the day, he was the leader of the seven ancient imperial beasts, and at his peak, even a Great Emperor could strike him with his hammer.

Revealing his real name would probably make cultivators' legs go weak with fear.

"Looking back, the past is too painful to recall..." The old monkey shook his head.

Seeing the three little ones' bewildered expressions, he felt bored and raised his hand, shooting a golden monkey hair into Bai Xian'er's brow:

"The Death-Slaying Emperor Curse is an ancient curse, a bloodline curse designed to prevent ancient imperial beasts from advancing to the Great Emperor level. It will cause you to experience numerous tribulations during your cultivation journey and affect your cultivation progress."

"It is fate that we met. I will give you a life-protecting divine spell to suppress the curse and calamity within your body. Once you reach the Emperor Realm, you will be able to break the Life-Taking Emperor-Splitting Curse."

"Senior Demon Emperor, what will happen if I cannot enter the Emperor Realm?" Bai Xian'er asked with some worry.

The Great Emperor realm is not something anyone can achieve. Judging from the Demon Emperor's tone, it seems that she would be in great danger if she didn't break through to the Emperor realm!

After pondering for a moment, the Demon Emperor Qitian said softly:

"If you cannot reach the Emperor Realm, the curse I suppressed will bring you misfortune in your later years."

"What?!" Bai Xian'er trembled and nervously moved closer to Shen Yun.

"Don't be afraid, Xian'er, that's all for the future." Shen Yun patted her head.

Even if he can't attain enlightenment, we can figure out a way after Ling Qingxue does.

"Master~" Bai Xian'er transformed into a tiny creature, pitifully clinging to Shen Yun's neck:

"I'm scared..."

His later years are unknown!

Doesn't this mean she has to separate from her master in order to prevent misfortune from befalling Shen Yun?

But the thought of leaving her alone to face misfortune is terrifying.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Shen Yun comforted him repeatedly, when he saw the Great Demon Emperor of Qi Tian tap the golden monkey's forehead.

The monkey's hidden vertical eye between its eyebrows opened automatically, flashing a mysterious red light.

Seeing his excited expression, it seems he has received a powerful inheritance.

'It's a case of the bitter times finally coming to an end.' Shen Yun smiled slightly.

Although this little monkey was a bit mischievous, it wasn't a bad person at heart. It had even tried to sacrifice itself to block the stone man's view for him.

Now that the legacy has been passed down, it can be considered a blessing.

"Young friend," the Demon Emperor Qitian looked at Shen Yun:

"Today you have helped this old man find his mantle to inherit; is there anything you wish to take?"

"I came with this in mind," Shen Yun said with a smile, clasping his hands in a fist salute, his expression frank.

"But the senior has already given Xian'er a life-protecting spell, so we must not have any other ideas."

The Demon Emperor has already said that this talisman will allow Bai Xian'er's cultivation path and aptitude to continue without being interfered with by the blood curse, allowing her to cultivate steadily.

If not, disaster might strike unexpectedly one day!

This is already a great opportunity. Besides, he is the golden monkey's savior. If this kid rises to prominence in the future, he will definitely treat him like a king.

"Master, it's all my fault~." Bai Xian'er tightened her grip on Shen Yun's neck.

She knew that her master had made many preparations for this trip to Flower Fruit Mountain, but in the end, all his efforts had yielded nothing, and she felt very guilty.

"What's the big deal? We're one. What's yours is mine," Shen Yun said softly, comforting him. Ever since meeting Bai Xian'er, her teleportation ability had given him a lot of convenience.

It's already excellent that she can temporarily suppress the blood curse within her body and her cultivation aptitude remains unaffected. After all, she possesses the blood of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, and once it's released, her cultivation speed will definitely be even faster than it is now.

This opportunity is enough!

"Haha, so be it." Seeing Bai Xian'er's attitude, the Demon Emperor Qitian could tell that Shen Yun genuinely cared for this junior member of the imperial clan and had thus gained her approval.

With a smile, the old monkey raised his hand and touched Shen Yun's brow:

"This set of supernatural powers is my most treasured skill! I'm not giving it to you for nothing; if this little monkey shows any signs of rising to prominence in the future, then you can pass it on to him. Giving it to him now is premature, as his temperament is not yet settled."
