Although no earth-shattering phenomena occurred, the surrounding void was silently twisting and trembling!
Even Shi Hao felt a jolt in his heart and had some difficulty breathing when he sensed this invisible collision of energy!
powerful! too strong!
Whether it's the Willow Goddess or this newly arrived ruthless empress, their realm and strength have already surpassed his current understanding!
"This fellow Daoist..." Willow God's thoughts carried a hint of barely perceptible surprise, "Was she summoned by Little Shi Hao? Her aura is very special. Unlike the beings of this realm, yet she has a very deep karmic connection with this world?"
"However... she doesn't seem hostile. She shouldn't be an enemy."
Liu Shen pondered to herself, not taking any immediate action, but silently observing this mysterious empress who had suddenly arrived.
Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Empress and the Willow Goddess Discuss the Dao, Returning to Hundred Broken Mountains! Demon King Pu!
The entrance of Shicun village.
The air that had momentarily frozen upon the first encounter between the two supreme beings finally began to slowly move again.
The vast and sacred green light surrounding Liu Shen receded quietly like a tide, merging once more into the seemingly ordinary charred tree trunk, as if the supreme pressure that had made even a Venerable One tremble had never existed.
The ruthless empress, dressed in white and possessing unparalleled beauty, also restrained her terrifying imperial might that seemed to crush all the heavens throughout the ages. The immortal light surrounding her gradually faded, and she returned to her aloof, indifferent, and untouched appearance.
They seemed to have only glanced at each other and reached a tacit understanding without choosing to engage in deeper probing or confrontation in this small stone village.
After all, at their level, they can understand many things with just a glance.
The being before me is very strong, extremely strong! But he doesn't seem to have any hostility.
This is enough.
"Cough cough." Shi Hao looked at this strange and brief "calm" and felt a little confused, but he still braced himself and walked out, trying to break the somewhat stagnant atmosphere.
He first bowed to the willow tree at the village entrance, then pointed to the willow tree and introduced it to the ruthless empress: "Um...Empress, this is my teacher, Senior Willow Goddess."
Then, he turned around, pointed at the Ruthless Empress, and said to Willow Goddess, "Willow Goddess, this is the Ruthless Empress, a friend who just joined us... uh, just came to visit our Stone Village."
He almost let slip that he was talking about the chat group.
"Willow Goddess..." The ruthless empress looked at the charred willow tree. A very subtle ripple flashed in her eyes, which seemed to see through countless reincarnations. She nodded slightly as a greeting, her voice still cold: "Nice to meet you."
The willow branches swayed gently, and a tender thought resonated in the heart of the ruthless empress, serving as a response: "Fellow Daoist, you are a guest from afar."
After a brief greeting, the two supreme beings fell silent once again, as if they were silently observing and assessing each other.
Shi Hao was caught in the middle and felt immense pressure.
Fortunately, Huang Rong and Yan Lingji came to the rescue in time.
"Oh! Empress! Please come in, please come in! Although our Stone Village is simple, we have plenty of roasted meat and animal milk!"
Huang Rong's face was beaming with a warm smile, and she instinctively wanted to go up and take the ruthless empress's hand.
"Hehehe~ Empress, don't stand there! Come and sit here! Try some of our Great Wilderness's specialties!" Yan Lingji greeted her warmly with her alluring eyes.
The two women were very outgoing and had already considered themselves residents of Shicun.
The ruthless empress looked at the two chattering, overly enthusiastic "otherworldly girls" in front of her, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
But in the end, he did not refuse their kindness and followed them toward the square where the bonfire was burning and the atmosphere was lively.
Yun Yun, Lu Xueqi, Medusa, Feng Baobao, and others also stepped forward to greet and exchange pleasantries with the legendary empress.
Although the ruthless empress mostly responded with a faint nod or a simple "hmm," her presence undoubtedly added an indescribable sense of mystery and pressure to this "gathering of goddesses" in Stone Village.
The bonfire party in Shicun officially began in this atmosphere filled with curiosity, awe, enthusiasm, and a touch of subtle tension.
The villagers also showed the most genuine enthusiasm to this newcomer, a woman in white who seemed even more aloof than the previous fairy sisters.
The fragrant roasted meat was served, and the mellow and sweet monkey wine was poured to the brim.
Although the ruthless empress seemed uninterested in these "mortal" things, only taking a token sip, her occasional glances across the room, filled with a hint of inquiry and curiosity, still made many villagers feel somewhat nervous.
Huang Rong and Yan Lingji, on the other hand, were already used to all kinds of big scenes and quickly became familiar with the ruthless empress.
Huang Rong used her eloquence to introduce the wonders of the chat group to the ruthless empress, as well as the customs and cultures of their respective worlds.
Yan Lingji would occasionally crack jokes and tell anecdotes about her time as queen of Baiyue in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere.
Even the usually aloof Lu Xueqi seemed to resonate with the same lofty and resolute aura emanating from the ruthless empress, occasionally taking the initiative to speak with her and discuss their understanding of "Tao".
Queen Medusa remained haughty, silently drinking her wine, but her eyes would occasionally glance at the ruthless empress, as if she were secretly comparing herself to her.
Feng Baobao... well, Sister Bao'er was still focused on dealing with the barbecue and milk in front of her, as if everything outside was irrelevant to her.
Huo Ling'er looked at the group of "sisters" in front of her, who came from different worlds, each with their own unique beauty, and all of whom seemed to have a close relationship with Shi Hao. Her curiosity was almost overflowing.
She quietly moved closer to Shi Hao, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "You rascal, who...who are they? They all seem so formidable. How many other...fat women like them do you know?"
She now seems to have accepted Shi Hao's peculiar aesthetic sense, and has even started referring to these stunning beauties as "fat women."
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao looked at Huo Ling'er's big, curious eyes and a smug smile appeared on his face: "Hehe, want to know? I won't tell you!"
"Hmph! You stingy little thing!" Huo Ling'er pouted unhappily.
However, Shi Hao didn't really keep her in suspense. He knew that he would eventually have to selectively tell some of his closest friends and family about the chat group.
Especially... Master Liu Shen.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Hao finally decided to inform Liu Shen without reservation about the existence of the "Goddesses of the Heavens Mutual Aid Chat Group" and the fact that the group members came from different worlds, through his divine sense.
When Liu Shen received the message from Shi Hao, even with her calm and composed mind that had weathered countless ages, she couldn't help but feel a huge surge of emotion once again!
"All the myriad realms... Chat group... Cross-realm teleportation... Points shop..."
The willow god's mind was filled with undisguised astonishment!
Although He had long suspected that Shi Hao harbored a great secret and opportunity, He never expected that this opportunity would be... so heaven-defying!
A "chat group" that can connect all the worlds, allowing beings from different worlds to communicate and help each other, and even possessing all sorts of incredible functions?!
This...this is simply unheard of! Unprecedented!
Even during His most glorious period in the Immortal Ancient Era, He had never heard of such a heaven-defying existence!
No wonder!
No wonder this little guy is growing at such an amazing rate!
No wonder he was able to easily produce the Ancient Divine Spring, a treasure that even He was moved by!
No wonder he is able to master so many supreme techniques belonging to different systems!
It turns out that all of this was due to such an incredible "chat group"!
The Willow God was filled with shock, and when He looked at Shi Hao again, His gaze was filled with amazement and a hint of relief.
My disciple... his luck is truly... defying the heavens!
At the same time, He finally understood why the newly arrived white-robed empress gave him a feeling that was both familiar and strange.
It turns out... they weren't even beings from the same world!
Liu Shen slowly calmed the turmoil in her heart and once again turned her gaze to the ruthless empress in the square, who was still aloof and indifferent, yet possessed an unparalleled imperial aura.
This time, His gaze held less of the previous wariness and scrutiny, and more genuine curiosity and appreciation!
"Struggling through the mortal world, defying the cycle of nine lifetimes to become an immortal..." The willow god's thoughts echoed in Shi Hao's mind, carrying a hint of admiration, "This path is difficult to walk, but if one can succeed, one's achievements may truly reach the ultimate peak."
"This empress... is remarkable."
To receive such high praise from Liu Shen shows just how extraordinary the path that the Ruthless Great Emperor has taken is!
Seemingly sensing the Willow God's kindness and appreciation, the Ruthless Emperor once again turned his gaze to the willow tree at the entrance of the village.
Two supreme beings, standing atop their respective worlds, once again gaze at each other from afar.
This time, it was no longer about being wary and testing the waters.
hum!hum!
Two equally vast and magnificent yet completely different Daoist principles began to silently communicate, collide, and verify each other in the void!
On Liu Shen's side, there was the Great Dao of Life, filled with endless vitality and the power of creation, as well as the Law of Reincarnation, which seemed to encompass all things and suppress all ages!
On the other hand, the ruthless empress embodies a path filled with aloofness, determination, and unwavering determination, creating miracles from the impossible!
And that domineering demonic art that devours the origin of all things and forges itself! And that undying obsession that severs all cause and effect and prevents reincarnation!
Two completely different paths, two methods that have both reached their ultimate limits!
At this moment, a silent exchange and collision began in the sky above this small stone village of (aceb)!
Although no earth-shattering phenomena occurred, the surrounding laws of heaven and earth seemed to cheer and resonate with them!
Although Shi Hao and the other goddesses could not directly participate in this level of "discussion on the Dao," they felt they benefited greatly simply from sensing the faint Daoist charm emanating from it!
It seemed that they had gained a deeper understanding of the path they were cultivating!
Especially Shi Hao, who possesses the Samsara Treasure Technique and has a preliminary understanding of the Six Paths Samsara Heavenly Art, has the deepest understanding of the Daoist resonance between Liu Shen and the Ruthless Empress regarding "reincarnation," "transcendence," and "immortality"!
He seemed to see a completely new path slowly unfolding before him!
……
This silent "discussion" did not last long.
After all, both supreme beings had their reservations and did not truly unleash their full power.
Soon, they all calmed down and regained their composure.
But in their gazes towards each other, there was an added sense of recognition and respect.
The ruthless empress seemed to have gained something from this exchange. A hint of understanding flashed in her cold eyes, and she took the initiative to ask Liu Shen a few questions about the cultivation of "immortality".
The Willow God did not hold back, and with His knowledge and wisdom spanning the ancient immortal era, He patiently and clearly explained the answers, which made the Ruthless Great Emperor feel enlightened and greatly benefited.
Seeing the two big shots chatting happily, Shi Hao was happy to have some peace and quiet and went to entertain the other goddess sisters.
Tonight, Shicun is destined to have a sleepless night.
The bonfire roared, the aroma of wine and meat filled the air, and laughter echoed throughout.
Women from different worlds, all proud and privileged, set aside all barriers and guardedness in this small, mysterious, and peaceful mountain village, fully enjoying this rare gathering and relaxation.
……
The next morning.
