Chapter 37: The Little Girl is Really Beautiful:
Hearing Ling Ye's words, Hua Luoshuang nodded.
This was excellent.
The position of Empress in the harem would be fair competition without any scheming or infighting. It would all depend on one's own abilities.
If they all succeeded, then they could all be Empresses. As long as everyone got along and maintained order in the harem, His Majesty wouldn't be troubled.
At this moment, as Ling Ye and Hua Luoshuang were talking, several figures entered the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" They all knelt before Ling Ye, who sat on the dragon throne.
These people were the top experts of the empire summoned by Ling Ye.
Following them, a few more people arrived. Apart from Ling Ye, there were now eight people in the hall. The top ten experts of the empire were all present except for the last ranked Ji Ziru.
These eight people were leaders of various factions within the empire. Some were secret masters, while others were officials of the Great Imperial Empire. These eight represented the pinnacle of the Great Imperial Empire.
Now, they had all gathered.
Once everyone had arrived, Ling Ye wasted no time explaining why he had summoned them. He ordered them all to head to the Purple Moon Immortal Sect and lie in wait for the Demon Lord, Ling Youyun, to appear.
With the preparations complete, Ling Ye led everyone on their mission. This action, though quiet, involved the empire's top experts. Everyone knew that a great battle between peak experts was imminent.
...
(On the other side)
At the Purple Moon Immortal Sect.
Ling Ye's sudden departure left Su Xingyue unhappy.
When her master left, he informed the sect master but didn't tell her.
Did that mean she wasn't important to him?
Su Xingyue started overthinking.
Her solution to these thoughts was to train.
When she had nothing to do, she trained to suppress her unhappiness.
On the first day Ling Ye was gone, she trained.
On the second day Ling Ye was gone, she trained.
On the third day Ling Ye was gone, she trained.
It seemed that with Ling Ye absent, she could focus even more on her training. Ji Ziru, observing Su Xingyue's dedication, provided constant supervision and guidance.
After all, Su Xingyue was Ling Ye's beloved disciple.
As Ling Ye's disciple, she was naturally Ji Ziru's responsibility as well.
Someday, Su Xingyue might call her "teacher's wife" or even "sister." Either way, Su Xingyue needed her care.
At Purple Moon Peak, by the lotus pond, Su Xingyue sat, slender and straight, meditating.
Spiritual Qi flowed around her, indicating she was about to make a breakthrough.
She had been at the 9th stage Ling Realm for quite some time and was due for a breakthrough to the Transformation Realm. With the golden spiritual fruits Ling Ye had given her, today's breakthrough wasn't unexpected.
Ji Ziru sat in a pavilion not far from the lotus pond, watching the white-robed girl meditating.
"The little girl is really beautiful." She couldn't help but murmur to herself.
Though Su Xingyue still was young, she had a perfect face with fair skin and delicate features. She might become even more captivating than Ji Ziru herself.
As Ji Ziru pondered this, Ling Ye appeared behind her.
"Your Majesty has returned?" She asked joyfully, standing up.
"Returned? This is my home." Ling Ye smiled.
As the emperor, the palace was his home.
Ji Ziru smiled sweetly, stepped forward, and gently adjusted his robe. "Home is where your loved ones are, isn't it?"
"Loved ones?" Ling Ye smiled again.
"Aren't there two of Your Majesty's loved ones here at Purple Moon Immortal Sect?" Ji Ziru laughed softly.
Ling Ye didn't deny it. He glanced at Su Xingyue in the lotus pond. She was about to make a breakthrough into the Transformation Realm.
"She will break through soon," He said.
"In less than ten days since entering the inner sect, she is already making a breakthrough into the Transformation Realm! You said she would reach the Divine Sky Realm within three years and the Divine Spirit Realm within five years," Ji Ziru remarked. "She might exceed Your Majesty's expectations!"
After the Transformation Realm followed the Heavenly Awakening Realm, and after that the Divine Sky Realm. Su Xingyue was about to reach the Transformation Realm, just two major realms away from the Divine Sky Realm.
With Ling Ye and Ji Ziru's guidance and support, it was likely she would reach it within three years.
Ling Ye smiled and nodded.
She might indeed surpass his expectations.
Her potential might even go beyond the Divine Spirit Realm, possibly reaching the Divine King Realm or even the Divine Emperor Realm.
