Lin Caogen sighed helplessly, his tone filled with resignation: "There's nothing I can do! Now I can only hurry up and communicate with Yanhuang Flame. Time waits for no one! Sigh! It's true that no matter which planet you're on, the rules are set by the leaders for their subordinates, but you don't have to follow them!"
Gu Xun'er gave a bitter smile and said softly, "Throughout history, countless people of virtue and ambition have strived to break this injustice, but in the end, how many have truly been able to change it all?"
Lin Caogen remained silent, knowing that Gu Xun'er was telling the truth. In this world, power and wealth are in the hands of a few, while most people can only live according to the rules set by others.
Gu Xun'er looked at Lin Caogen with admiration in her heart.
She knew that her man was a true warrior; he would not give up his ideals because of the difficulties he faced, nor would he change his beliefs because of the ridicule of others.
Just as Gu Xun'er predicted!
After a short rest, Lin Caogen went to Yanhuangyan again to conduct frequency tests!
Failure after failure, yet getting closer and closer to the right answer each time!
Three days later, the ginseng-shaped Yanhuang Flame looked back at Lin Caogen more and more frequently!
It even developed the illusion that Lin Caogen might be its parent or its ancestor!
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace of Yanhuang District, Emperor Xuanyuan Po seized a carrier pigeon formed from immortal essence and crushed it into dust!
After the carrier pigeon was crushed, it actually transformed into a line of text!
"Your Majesty, the Yanhuang Flame is about to be born! The Yanhuang Flame will shoot straight into the sky! You may come to grid area 568 to subdue this wondrous fire."
The short line of text caused a glint of light to flash in Emperor Xuanyuan Po's eyes!
"Excellent! I have now cultivated to the seventh-star Emperor realm! My body has accumulated several tons of impurities. As long as I refine the Yanhuang Flame, most of the impurities in my body will surely be burned away! At that time, I will definitely be able to break through to the ninth-star Emperor realm! Hahahaha! Heaven blesses my Yanhuang region! Someone! Get me dressed! I want to personally go to the Three Rings Continent!"
As soon as Xuanyuan Po uttered these words, ten concubines immediately lined up, each carrying a piece of clothing, trousers, socks, boots, underwear, coats, cloaks, hair ornaments, and other items! These women were all exceptionally beautiful, and nearly half of them came from the Ziwei District.
Just then, a guard stepped forward and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty! The Great Emperor Ziwei of the Ziwei District has come to pay a visit!"
Xuanyuan Po frowned and said, "Why is this woman here too!" He didn't want to see the Ziwei Emperor at this moment, but after all, the Ziwei Emperor was one of the emperors, and it would be impolite not to see her.
So he waved his hand and said, "Tell her to wait in the main hall for a moment, I'll be there shortly!"
Having said that, Xuanyuan Po, attended by a group of beautiful women, changed into a dazzling and gorgeous robe. Looking at himself in the mirror, he nodded in satisfaction, then strode towards the main hall.
Throughout the journey, he pondered the purpose of the Ziwei Emperor's visit, a vague unease creeping into his heart. The Ziwei Emperor was the ruler of the Ziwei District, and had always been his rival. Could this visit be for the Yanhuang Flame?
Thinking of this, Xuan Yuanpo quickened his pace. He needed to resolve this matter as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.
Upon entering the main hall, he saw the Ziwei Emperor standing inside, with two beautiful female guards behind him. Both were at the Immortal Saint level. Seeing Xuanyuan Po enter, the Ziwei Emperor smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Xuanyuan, on breaking through to the Seven Star Realm! I've come to offer my congratulations!"
Xuan Yuanpo sneered inwardly. He and Xuan Yuanpo were nominally allies, but in reality, they were rivals—a classic case of a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, harboring no good intentions. However, he maintained a composed smile and said, "Thank you, Great Emperor Ziwei! May I ask what brings you here today?"
At this moment, Emperor Ziwei, Du Ziqiong, smoothed her long black hair, bowed slightly, and said apologetically, "I originally intended to send Brother Xuanyuan several beauties from the Ziwei District as concubines to enhance the friendship between our two districts. However, some of them had already fallen in love, and when the messengers I sent went to summon them, they eloped to be with their sweethearts. This matter shocked and saddened me greatly; I am truly sorry, Brother Xuanyuan."
Du Ziqiong paused for a moment, then continued, "I have come today for two reasons: first, to express my apologies to Brother Xuanyuan, and second, to explain the whole story. I hope Brother Xuanyuan will not take offense; we are allies, and I have no intention of offending you. I have obtained a Nine Luminaries Star Pill, which I am presenting to Brother Xuanyuan in the hope that our two regions will soon sign an alliance treaty to jointly resist the invasion of evil forces."
Du Ziqiong's voice was so sincere and earnest that Xuan Yuanpo almost believed it for a moment!
Xuanyuan Po sneered inwardly, "Du Ziqiong! Do you think I don't know about your scheme?! You deliberately sent dozens of beautiful women, ostensibly as gifts to seek cooperation between the two regions, but in reality, you want to exhaust me to death! Now you've cultivated quite quickly, advancing another star to the third-level Emperor realm in the blink of an eye! If I continue to indulge in women, won't you surpass me!"
Thinking of this, Xuan Yuanpo laughed and said, "Nine Luminaries Star Pill? Does the Purple Star Emperor really possess such a pill?"
Emperor Ziwei, Du Ziqiong, took out a jade bottle. The stopper was opened, and a pill flew out of the bottle. The pill had nine brown lines on its body, clearly indicating that it was a high-quality, high-level 9th-grade pill with nine lines! Moreover, this pill had wings and could dodge around!
Xuanyuan Po was startled!
He reached out and sucked the scattered pills into his palm!
After observing it for a long time, he said, "What a pity! What a pity! It was just a little short of being a ninth-grade, ten-pattern pill! If I'm not mistaken, this pill was refined by Yao Mengchen, the Medicine Saint of the Five Sacred Mountains!"
