"Empress, as I have said before, our relationship is one of cooperation, not subordination."
Even though Guo Feng felt immense pressure.
However, his gaze still sharpened.
He has an upright posture.
Standing proudly between heaven and earth.
There was not a trace of fear in his eyes.
"You think we can just cooperate like that?"
The Empress sneered, "You are talented, but your current strength is still far inferior to mine."
As she spoke, she moved her finger.
The Heavenly King Cauldron immediately roared and flickered with fire.
Immediately, bursts of wailing came from inside; it was the voices of Tai Luo, Luo Su, and Zhao Xing.
They seem to be enduring immense pain at this moment.
Guo Feng understood that the Empress was putting pressure on him.
He said calmly, "I've said it before: you either cooperate with me or you take my life."
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
The Empress frowned.
Guo Feng said calmly, "I am afraid! But because I am afraid, I will definitely not surrender."
Even if you're afraid!
He then changed the subject, saying, "I will not beg for survival on my knees."
"Okay, okay."
The Empress waved her hand and revealed a smile, "You messed with my sister without permission. I'll remember this."
"And you, in fact, deserve a lot of credit this time."
"Not only did they capture Guo Wangcheng, but they also helped me capture the emperor's brother-in-law and the envoy from the Chaos Empire."
"Here's what we'll do: you do one last thing. If you do it, I'll hand over Qinwang City and Guowang City to you for complete self-governance. All you need to do is pay an annual tribute of one hundred million spirit stones."
As she spoke, she added, "Of course, once you reach the tenth rank and your strength surpasses mine, I will not only betroth my sister to you, but you can also marry me if you wish."
"oh?!"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, quite surprised.
The complete autonomy of Qinwang City and Guowang City is of great significance to Guo Feng and the entire Huaguo.
It should be noted that the Qin King City and Guo King City, covering an area of 200,000 li, were entirely given to him for development.
That would create a huge barrier between the Chaos Continent and China.
To be honest, if that were to happen, it would be extremely difficult for the two countries to go to war.
Of course, the Yan Yang Empire, excluding the capital, only has fifteen royal cities in total.
Guo Feng then split into two groups and left.
This is also a significant bargaining chip for the Empress.
Therefore, what she asked Guo Feng to do must not be simple.
He immediately said, "Empress, the offer you've given me is indeed very tempting."
"Indeed, I am determined to have Guo Wangcheng, Qin Wangcheng, Ye Ning, and most importantly, you!"
He smiled and asked, "What were your conditions just now? Did you want me to help you seize the ancestral cave of the Guo family?"
"No."
The Empress shook her head. "There is only one master of the Nine Heavens Mansion, and that person is you."
She paused for a moment and said, "What I want is only the ten spatial decrees in the Nine Heavens Haotian Mansion, and the core of the Refining Heaven King Cauldron, the Refining Heaven Vermilion Jade."
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.
He suddenly realized something.
Moreover, he remembered what Mo Daoqing, the sect leader of the Sumeru Sect, had said before: once one reaches the tenth-grade quasi-immortal level, one must go to the Sumeru Land.
Is the Land of Sumeru, like the Chaos Immortal Realm, a higher-dimensional space?
And do the ten spatial decrees within the Nine Heavens Mansion also represent that there are high-dimensional spaces in this world similar to spatial immortal realms and spatial lands?
Is the Chaos Immortal Realm just one of many higher-dimensional spaces?
Moreover, the core of the Heaven Refining King Cauldron is actually inside the Nine Heavens Haotian Mansion?
If the Nine Heavens Mansion was left by his father.
How awesome was his dad back then?
You're right.
Seeing Guo Feng deep in thought, the Empress smiled and said, "The Nine Heavens Haotian Mansion holds the secret to opening the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but I don't know exactly how to open it, who will open it, or what troubles they will encounter."
She added, "You can understand it this way: above the mortal realm are the celestial realms, and above the celestial realms may be the divine realms."
"The mortal realm cannot accommodate immortals."
"The Immortal Realm cannot accommodate gods."
She looked at Guo Feng and said, "The Chaos Immortal Realm happens to govern our Chaos Continent. Guo's ancestor inherited the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. He was known as the God of Space, but in reality, he was called the Haotian Immortal Emperor, a peerless powerhouse at the Quasi-Dao level."
"As for why he appeared on the Chaos Continent back then and wiped out all the methods and traditions of the Chaos Continent, there are only some guesses at the moment."
She paused for a moment, then said, "I tend to think that the various celestial realms are at odds with each other, just as there are wars between our empires."
"When the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and the Chaos Immortal Realm fought a great war, the Haotian Immortal Emperor directly severed the lineage of the Chaos Continent, but this also led to the closure of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm."
"Of course, these legends are just for listening to, as they all happened tens of thousands of years ago."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, "And all I want is the spatial decree and the Heaven-Refining Jade."
"Forehead……"
Guo Feng was completely confused. Originally, the appearance of the spirit world meant that the spiritual energy on Earth was reviving.
However, after coming into contact with the Chaos Continent...
He discovered that there are many higher forms of life in this world.
And now, there's this talk of Immortal Realm and Immortal Emperor, and most importantly, it seems to be related to his father.
Could it be that his father really traveled back tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years?
He became the chosen one of the planes, unified the nine heavens, and became the Jade Emperor, right?
Wouldn't he then be the son of the Celestial Emperor?
Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about it; it was too far-fetched and too outrageous.
He is still just an ordinary person.
He then looked at the Empress and said, "Alright, it's settled then. I'll find you the Space Decree and the Heaven-Refining Jade. In return, you give me the City of Guo and the City of Qin."
"Can."
The Empress nodded. "Alright, you can now temporarily serve as the city lord of the two royal cities, Qinwang City and Guowang City. I will wait for your news in the capital."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Ye Ning again and smiled gently, "Ye Ning, you stole my man, I'll remember that."
"snort!"
Ye Ning couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
The Empress remained silent, stepping on the Heaven-Refining Cauldron and tearing through space.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The whole world suddenly fell silent.
