Chapter 186 Going To Longevity Together
Mental attacks included illusions, mind-controlling techniques, puppetry techniques, and so on. Zhao Mu didn't dabble in this aspect. If he encountered such an enemy, he really didn't have any effective defense methods. He could only rely on his strong mental will to resist.
But with this Cloud Spiritual Shield, Zhao Mu could be more at ease.
He could absorb the Cloud Spiritual Shield into his body.
After the Cloud Spiritual Shield entered his body, Zhao Mu soon felt his whole body warm up and his soul instantly became heavy.
The soul was fragile and couldn't be effectively cultivated. Even the soul of a Tribulation Stage powerhouse was very fragile. Once it was injured, it would be difficult to recover.
The Cloud Spiritual Shield was equivalent to putting on a thick layer of armor for Zhao Mu's soul. However, it didn't block physical attacks, but mental attacks.
The value of this Cloud Spiritual Shield was definitely not as simple as a sixth-grade Dao Artifact. After all, according to Zhao Mu's understanding, this kind of magic treasure that could strengthen the soul was extremely rare. It was said that the current blacksmiths on the Immortal Martial Continent couldn't refine such a magic treasure at all. The related skills had long been lost.
Only in some very ancient ruins could it be possible to obtain one or two magic treasures that could strengthen the soul. Moreover, the quality wouldn't be too high.
The Cloud Spiritual Shield in Zhao Mu's hand might be a rare treasure in the entire Immortal Martial Continent.
This might be the most valuable thing on Zhao Mu's body, apart from the system.
He had to admit that Wu Miaomiao was really his little lucky star. He didn't lose out by accepting her as his disciple.
Then, Zhao Mu took out the fire-attribute cultivation methods collected by Ning Qingying and began to cultivate them one by one.
The night passed without a word.
The next day's sword competition was still simple and easy. Zhao Mu easily defeated his opponent who was also in the Divine Transformation Stage. In order to hide his strength, he even deliberately delayed some time to avoid winning too quickly.
Tang Qing didn't have this concern and still killed his opponent in one move.
Today, Zhao Mu was dragged by Wu Miaomiao to watch a few more battles between experts. One of them was a Tribulation Stage powerhouse, but the opponent was only in the Voiding Stage and was killed in one move by the Tribulation Stage powerhouse.
Although he only saw one move, Zhao Mu already had a rough understanding of the Tribulation Stage powerhouse's combat strength.
Tribulation Stage cultivators were really strong. Even if it was just an old man who looked like he was about to die, a little bit of his aura was enough to change the world.
Zhao Mu made a little deduction in his mind and came to a conclusion that made him smile bitterly.
With his current strength, even if he went all out, he wouldn't be able to last more than three moves in front of an ordinary Tribulation Stage powerhouse. It was even more impossible for him to escape. The speed of a Tribulation Stage powerhouse was completely overwhelming to him.
After going back, Zhao Mu specially looked for Tang Qing to make up for it. He had a detailed understanding of the comprehensive strength of a Tribulation Stage master so that he could make a more accurate analysis and judgment.
Tang Qing was quite satisfied with Zhao Mu's eagerness to learn. He patiently explained a lot of knowledge about Tribulation Stage powerhouses. Among them, what Zhao Mu cared about the most was that Tribulation Stage powerhouses could grasp the power of laws.
Zhao Mu's Fire Seed of the Heavenly Dao was the embryonic form of a law. It was also because of the existence of the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Dao that Zhao Mu's Burning Moon Celestial Flame Dharma could be so tyrannical. This was because, with his cultivation in the Divine Transformation Realm, he had touched the threshold of the law. This was something that cultivators in the same realm could not touch.
Even for other geniuses, there were very few who could touch the domain of the law before the Tribulation Stage.
Zhao Mu was so special that even Tang Qing found it incredible.
To some extent, the reason why Tang Qing could choose Zhao Mu as the Prince of the Devil's Doctrine was that she was very optimistic about Zhao Mu's prospects.
It was not that Tang Qing was very realistic.
It was just that the first step to winning over a woman like her was to arouse her curiosity.
If Zhao Mu didn't have some skills, how could he win her over?
"Little Qing, has your spiritual power not recovered yet?" Zhao Mu asked anxiously.
He had been guarding a beauty like Tang Qing for the past few days, but he could not touch her. Even getting close to her was dangerous. Zhao Mu could not hold it in any longer.
Little Qing …
The way Zhao Mu addressed her made Tang Qing feel a little weird.
She had lived for three thousand years, but this was the first time she had been addressed this way.
However, considering Zhao Mu's current status, as her man, it seemed reasonable for him to address her in this way. Hence, she did not object.
"Do you want to touch me so badly?" Tang Qing blinked. How could she not detect Zhao Mu's thoughts?
This look …
Empress, are you testing me?
Zhao Mu pretended to be calm and said, "I just want to get to know you better. Whether it's your will, your ideals, your character, or your appearance, figure, or touch, I want to experience it for myself. This is the only way to go from being a stranger to being familiar with each other, and then to having a tacit understanding with each other. If you think my thoughts are dirty, then I can give up the title of Prince, but I won't go against my heart."
This guy … to be able to talk about the matters between men and women in such a dignified manner that no one could find any fault with it, it could be considered as a unique ability.
Tang Qing smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want you to touch me. It's just that I still need a few days to fully recover my strength. I'm just afraid that you will hurt your body."
Cough, cough. That was not true.
[1] [6] [6] [Little] [Speak]
Of course, he still had to pretend.
"It's okay. I can wait. Whether it's ten days or half a month, eight or ten years, or even a thousand or ten thousand years, I can wait," Zhao Mu said with a determined gaze.
"There's no need to be so serious. Inviting you to be the Demon Sect's Grand Prince is actually more like a win-win cooperation. I won't interfere too much with you. You and I are both cultivators, destined to become immortals and seek the Dao as our goal. All personal relationships are just decorations on the road to immortality in my eyes. No matter what you do outside, don't feel like you've let me down. I have no intention of monopolizing you.
Uh …
This time, it was Zhao Mu's turn to be confused.
Was the empress so open-minded?
But why did she suddenly say all this? Did she find out that Zhao Mu was cheating on her?
That shouldn't be the case.
The greater possibility was that Tang Qing's words were from the bottom of her heart, and they were her true thoughts.
Was this the difference caused by his three thousand years of experience?
However, Zhao Mu could vaguely understand Tang Qing's thoughts.
For us cultivators, the ultimate goal is to seek immortality. In front of this goal, everything else is just fleeting clouds.
Relying on the system, Zhao Mu had a meteoric rise in his career. He was a high-spirited teenager who was still at the stage of life dominated by desire. His perspective on things was completely different from Tang Qing's, who had been baptized by three thousand years of experience.
Perhaps after a few hundred years, Zhao Mu's state of mind would become as indifferent as Tang Qing's. However, things were different now.
"I understand. No matter how the world changes, I will hold your hand and run towards immortality together. On the path of pursuing the Great Dao, I will always be with you. This will never change," Zhao Mu said with an incomparably serious tone.
"That's enough."
