Chapter 119 Dungeon
Chi Qi reached out to take the jade box and opened it.
In an instant, an indescribable brilliance burst out, illuminating the entire dungeon. Even the rugged stone walls that were originally shrouded in darkness were clearly illuminated.
Chi Qi also saw Qiu Qianling's appearance clearly. He was the original owner of the top-grade spiritual root in her hand.
At this moment, she was curled up in a dark and damp cell, her face as pale as paper, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down her forehead, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
Chi Qi's eyes moved downwards and stopped at her hands that were tightly covering her abdomen.
Her palm was already soaked in blood, and crimson blood oozed continuously through her fingers, dripping onto the ground. And beneath her palm, where her spiritual roots were apparently stored, was now a bloody mess.
"Master...Master's Wife, Qian Ling is in so much pain. Why? Why do you treat me like this?" Qiu Qian Ling looked at her in pain, his voice trembling, and tears in his eyes rolled down like beads from a broken string.
Chi Qi also wanted to know why.
She closed the jade box, her eyes slightly closed, "Six Gods of Love, pass the plot to me."
As a subsystem created by the main god system, Liushenai has the authority to obtain the original plot of the novel world.
It took Chi Li about ten seconds to understand the whole story.
This novel world was created by a sweet fairy tale novel called "The Guide to Raising the Demon Lord".
The heroine Qiu Qianling was born into a poor farming family. After her mother Qiu Min passed away, she learned that her father was actually Shi Zhenlin, the leader of the Jinmen Immortal Mansion, the largest sect of the immortal race.
The heroine, bearing a token of loyalty, journeys to the sect to search for her father. Luckily, she meets Shi Zhenlin and is accepted as his disciple, becoming the sect's junior sister. Her exceptional cooking skills and medical expertise earn her a deep affection from the entire sect, captivating not only the favored son Shi Zhuoyue but also the elegant and refined mistress of the sect, Xie Yuqing.
It was not until Xie Yuqing dug out her spiritual roots that the heroine learned the truth in heart-wrenching pain.
It turns out that she possesses a rare and top-grade spiritual root in the world. The reason why Shi Zhenlin cultivated her was only to use her spiritual root to cure her half-brother Shi Zhuoyue, whose spiritual root was severed due to his cultivation.
The heroine is in agony, desperate to die but unable to do so. Xie Yuqing, who hates her to the core, tortures her, then places her among the hostages and sends her to the Demon Realm to serve the brutal and powerful Demon Lord – the hero.
After entering the Demon Realm, most of the hostage group were killed or injured. The heroine desperately tried to commit suicide, but this caught the hero's attention, and he asked her to serve him personally.
It turns out that when the male protagonist was young, he was ugly in appearance and was insulted and bullied when he went to the human territory to play. Only the female protagonist did not despise him. She played with him and gave him wild fruits to eat. The male protagonist developed a good impression of her and has been thinking about her for many years.
In an accident, the hero was poisoned by love. In order to save him, the heroine had no choice but to practice dual cultivation with him to detoxify him, and their relationship became close.
Afterwards, the heroine learned about the hero's tragic past, in which he was planted with evil bones by his biological mother and forced to degenerate into a demon. She couldn't help but feel pity for him, and their relationship warmed up.
However, the male protagonist's evil spirit suddenly erupted, completely controlling him. He led the demon clan to slaughter the mortal world, bloodbathed the Jinmen Immortal Palace, and dug out Xie Yuqing's spiritual root, causing her soul to fly away.
The kindhearted heroine witnesses the devastation of countless lives, and though she has achieved her revenge, she is filled with pain. To stop the hero and save the world, the heroine goes through great hardships and invites the hero's father, Gongsun Xiong, to come out of seclusion to help the hero understand the truth. The hero crushes the evil bone, slays the demon, and becomes an immortal.
Afterwards, the hero and heroine worked together to slay the demons, averting the crisis of world destruction. Peace was restored to the human world, and the hero and heroine became the new masters of the Golden Gate Immortal Palace.
Finally, they held a grand wedding, with all the immortals coming to congratulate them, and even Shi Zhuoyue showed up to bless them. After the wedding, the two of them loved each other for a thousand years and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, bringing their lives to a complete perfection.
After reading the plot, Chi Li suddenly wanted to dig out Song Yu and whip his corpse.
Unfortunately, he was dead without even a trace left, so Chi Qi had to give up the idea.
She did not act in a hurry, but first checked the main tasks of the main god system. There were still two, namely [Leader of a Sect] and [Destroy the Immortal Clan].
Obviously, it was the same routine as in the previous world, requiring her to become the leader of the Jinmen Immortal Mansion and then destroy the entire immortal clan.
Chi Qi placed her fingers on her chin and rubbed it gently. Being the sect leader was easy, but destroying the immortal race was difficult. It seemed that she had to plan carefully this time.
But for now, let’s solve Qiu Qianling’s problem first.
Her current identity is the heroine's stepmother and master's wife Xie Yuqing. In order to save her useless man, the original owner personally dug out the heroine's spiritual roots.
According to the development of the original plot, when facing the heroine's questioning, she should frankly admit that she has a deep hatred for the heroine and her mother, and state that Shi Zhuoyue is completely unaware of the matter in order to maintain her upright image as a good daughter.
This also explains why the male protagonist only killed her and Shi Zhenlin in the end, and spared the vested interest Shi Zhuoyue.
Chi Lan sneered. What a great motherly love! She would never do such a stupid thing.
Since her hands are already stained with blood, Shi Zhuoyue, who has benefited from it, can have no chance of getting away with it.
Thinking of this, Chi Li looked at Qiu Qianling, a cold smile appeared on her lips, "I'm sorry, Master's wife didn't want to do this to you. If you want to blame someone, blame Shi Zhuoyue."
"Senior...Brother?" Qiu Qianling gasped with difficulty, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Chi Li said calmly, "Yes, if he hadn't set his eyes on your spiritual roots and threatened me with death to help him, how could Master's Wife have the heart to hurt you? I had no choice. Qian Ling, you will understand Master's Wife, right?"
A trace of suspicion flashed across Qiu Qianling's eyes. Even though he was in so much pain that he couldn't move, he still shook his head stubbornly, "No... This is impossible. Senior Brother is not that kind of person..."
As she spoke, her eyes softened a little, as if recalling the beautiful memories with Shi Zhuoyue. She murmured softly, "Senior Brother is so gentle and handsome... He has always been so good to me... I can't believe he would treat me like this..."
Chi Li raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Are you saying that I'm deceiving you and that I'm the bad guy who wants to dig out your spiritual roots?"
Isn't it? Qiu Qianling recalled the pain of his body being torn apart just now, and subconsciously twitched.
In fact, not long after she entered the sect, she realized that Xie Yuqing, who said on the surface that he wanted to treat her as his daughter, actually harbored hostility towards her.
She could understand Xie Yuqing's dissatisfaction with her. After all, her mother had snatched her father's love away from Xie Yuqing.
However, she never expected that Xie Yuqing would be so vicious, so vicious that he wanted to dig out her spiritual roots and even lied, putting all the blame on Shi Zhuoyue.
A man of integrity like my senior brother would never instruct Xie Yuqing to take her spiritual roots. If he really wanted it, he would definitely ask her openly.
She is my senior brother’s mother, but she doesn’t understand him at all. What a failure.
However, saying these words would do no good except to anger Xie Yuqing.
Qiu Qianling didn't want to die yet. Even if she became a useless person without spiritual roots, she wanted to continue living.
She wants to live and expose Xie Yuqing's true face to her father and senior brother!
Thinking of this, Qiu Qianling forced herself to calm down. She had to find a way to escape from Xie Yuqing.
My father definitely doesn’t know about this now. If he knew, he would never watch Xie Yuqing hurt her.
And senior brother, if he knew that she was not missing but was locked up in this dungeon by Xie Yuqing, he would definitely come to rescue her.
With an idea in mind, Qiu Qianling suppressed his hatred, softened his voice, and looked at Chi Li with pleading eyes, "Master's Wife, I didn't mean that. I just can't accept this cruel fact. Can you please let me see my brother again? I won't give up until he admits it himself."
Chi Qi let out a soft laugh from her throat. This child seemed to be smarter than Zhao Mingyue, but not much.
Qiu Qianling knew very well that her senior brother was a useless person with no spiritual roots. He pretended to be gentle and refined on the surface, but in fact, his heart had long been corrupted by darkness.
Anyone who uses their brains a little can understand that the real culprit is Shi Zhuoyue, who did nothing bad but reaped all the benefits.
She sneered, "Okay, as you wish, I'll let you see with your own eyes what kind of person your good senior brother is."
As he said this, he put the jade box into his sleeve, turned around and told the gray-robed male cultivator on guard, "Feed her some elixirs, don't let her die."
"Yes." The male cultivator responded.
Chi Lan walked out of the dungeon passage, at the end of which was a staircase leading upwards.
She did not rush out of the stairs, but returned to the alien space first. This was the house she exchanged with points, and it could also be said to be a safe house.
Chi Lan embedded the world-viewing mirror on the wall in the hall opposite the sofa, so that she could monitor every world at any time to ensure that all developments were under her control.
Of course, she herself did not have the time or energy to monitor, so this task naturally fell on Liu Shen'ai, who had been promoted to her assistant.
"I need to rest for a while. Call me if you have any questions." Chi Lan nestled into the soft sofa, pulled the blanket over herself, and closed her eyes.
As the leader of the largest sect of the immortal race, Shi Zhenlin's strength cannot be underestimated. He has now reached the final stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. If you want to suppress him, you will definitely have to spend a lot of points.
Chi Li had a premonition that there would be a tough battle to fight next, so she needed to replenish her energy in advance.
————
Chi Qi slept very soundly and only woke up when she heard Liu Shen'ai calling her.
"Host, do you want to go back and watch Zhao Mingyue's coronation ceremony?"
Chi Yan was slightly startled. After she realized what was happening, she said calmly, "What's so interesting about something that's not a foregone conclusion?"
While saying this, his eyes glanced at the viewing mirror.
"Host, you are so heartless. Zhao Mingyue changed her name to Chi Fuguang for you, but you refused to even look at her." The virtual image of Liu Shen'ai appeared in front of her, condemning her with disapproval.
Chi Qi rested her chin on one hand, staring at the Guanshijing, her tone remaining calm. "How is this for me? It's just a political choice. If she wants to establish a new dynasty, she must cut ties with the Zhao family, and I am her best choice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the world on the other side of the Guanshi Mirror suddenly darkened, and the sky, which had been cloudless just a moment ago, was quickly covered by gathering dark clouds.
The crowd watching the ceremony in front of Mingfengtai became agitated. At this moment, a masked man holding a knife rushed out of the crowd and pounced on Chi Fuguang in front of the jade steps.
Chi Qi frowned, raised her hand, and exchanged it for a bolt of lightning and threw it over. With a crack, the man was struck to death.
Liu Shen Ai was stunned, then burst out laughing, "So you are this kind of host, you say no with your mouth, but your body is very honest!"
Chi Yan glanced at her sideways. "Where did you learn that cliché? Don't stuff all that garbage into the database. Besides, this world is my territory, and the heroine is my subject. Of course, I must ensure that she, who has inherited my will, can successfully ascend to the throne."
As Chi Fuguang spoke, he looked up at the sky, and Chi Li met her inky black eyes. For a moment, she felt as if her gaze, piercing through the mirror, was meeting her gaze. Her heart skipped a beat.
The next moment, Chi Fuguang's firm and clear voice rang out, "Gods of Heaven and Earth, if you agree that I should be the emperor, please disperse the dark clouds!"
Chi Qi looked at her calmly, but her heart was not calm at all. She rarely felt such excitement.
How to describe this feeling?
Relief, surprise, touching, pride and... words popped up in her mind one after another, but were immediately rejected by Chi Li.
absurd!
Chi Fuguang was just a tool for her to complete her tasks. It was expected that she would grow from a weak and kind princess into an independent emperor.
She would not shed tears like an old mother who hopes her son will become successful just because she saw her ascend the throne.
Chi Qi was thinking this, but she didn't realize that she had already raised the corners of her mouth. The coldness in her eyes seemed to melt like an iceberg, and a gentle smile appeared.
Then, like a real god, she waved her hand gently, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and light reappeared on earth.
Chi Fuguang's face was instantly illuminated by the sunlight, her breathing became rapid, and ecstasy burst out of her eyes.
The dark clouds...the dark clouds really dispersed!
Everyone opened their mouths in astonishment, and then burst into cheers.
Someone was the first to shout, "This is God's will!"
"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!" Shouts rang out one after another, and people knelt on the ground, pious and in awe.
The drums began to play cheerfully again, and the ceremonial officers also sang hymns. Chi Fuguang straightened his spine, faced the sunshine, walked up the jade steps step by step, and climbed onto the Mingfeng Terrace.
She stood on the high platform, looking at the ministers and the people, her heart filled with emotion. After a long pause, she spoke slowly, "Today, I am able to stand here not only because of the gods' favor, but also because of your support."
"In my court, there are women who hold official positions; in my army, there are women who serve as soldiers; in my country, there are women who run households! I promise you here that I will ensure that every woman in this land can own her own house and property. This world will never be the same again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous shouts rang out in the square: "Long live our emperor! Long live our emperor! Long, long live our emperor!"
At this point, the ceremony is complete.
After returning to the palace, he rewarded all the ministers and posthumously conferred the title of Emperor Taishang Chongde on Empress Dowager Chi.
"Ding Dong! Achieved the achievement 'Emperor Emeritus' and received a reward of 5 million points. Please keep working hard!"
The system prompt message pops up at the appropriate time.
Chi Li didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. She accepted it with satisfaction and checked her balance, which was currently more than 50 million points.
Thinking that she might face Shi Zhenlin later, she tried to choose a few magical weapons that could be used against Nascent Soul cultivators. After careful consideration, Chi Yan finally chose two magical weapons.
One is the Youlingzhu used for defense, which can withstand the damage of monks of different realms according to the number of points consumed. As long as the points are enough, even the fatal blow of a powerful monk in the Tribulation Realm can be blocked.
The other one is a realm-breaking pen used for attacking. Whoever it touches will fall down a realm. Similarly, as long as the points are enough, even a powerful person in the Tribulation Realm can be turned directly into a mortal.
With these two things, she can attack and defend at the same time. Although she is not invincible in the world of immortal cultivation, she can at least walk sideways.
After everything was ready, Chi Lan returned to the dungeon and walked up the stairs.
When I opened the door, I saw a male cultivator in white standing in the room with his hands behind his back.
Hearing the noise, the male cultivator turned around and stared at Chi Li with dissatisfaction in his eyes. "I just asked you to dig out her spiritual roots, why did you take so long?"
