Chapter 1719: Chapter 72: The Wedding Garment

The trouble is, who knows when she’ll be able to track down Chu Xisheng’s whereabouts next time.

Also, this guy is probably very close to reaching Second Grade.

This young man engages in Dual Cultivation with Su Yi, receiving her Yin Essence as a gift, so his accumulation of True Yuan will advance rapidly.

While Shen Jingli was deeply worried, a wreath of spirit light condensed by Shen Putian circled around her: "Jingli, why didn’t you act earlier? The Divine Sons of Shen Ziwei, Shen Gouchen, Shen Yinghuo, Shen Tiankui, Shen Pojun, and others are not far from here. With your strength, we could have directly exterminated Emperor Jianyuan, so why retreat like this?"

Divine Sons are entities capable of bearing Divine Power and becoming Divine Splits of Eternal Gods, serving as chess pieces and backup bodies prepared by the Gods in the Mortal World.

Their quality certainly cannot compare to the body Shen Jingli currently uses, but they can still possess battle power at a Near-God Rank.

Shen Jingli finally withdrew her gaze from the north, her expression calm as she said, "And after slaying Emperor Jianyuan? Should we let that Chu Xisheng unify the Divine Continent and become the Fourth Generation Saint Emperor of the Human Clan?

Don’t forget, while Yin Yang Unity can indeed save Diwa and Burial Sky, if the Human Clan produces a Fourth Generation Saint Emperor, it could equally restore the Human Clan’s Qi Fortune. They lack not Diwa and Burial Sky, but someone who can oppose the Pangu Dominator."

Shen Putian was rendered speechless, lapsing into silence.

Shen Jingli’s words indeed held reason.

Chu Xisheng showcased a talent among the Human Clan never seen before and unlikely to be seen again.

Once this person unifies the Divine Continent, there is a significant probability of him becoming the Fourth Generation Saint Emperor of the Human Clan.

"Moreover!"

Shen Jingli then raised her hand to point forward: "This is a trap set for us by the Master of Thousands of Deceptions; our perceived resistance consists only of a Zhe Dragon and one Zong Shenhua. Yet the Yang God, Yin God, and Zangtian Li Tan are all watching from above. Have you forgotten the recent Taiwei Constellation dispute?"

"Perhaps."

Shen Putian let out a wry smile: "But with your retreat, I fear several Emperors will not let it rest."

"They can fight if they wish, but let them send their Divine Sons forward first."

Shen Jingli, hands behind her back, wore a cold expression: "If I see a suitable opportunity, I will not hesitate."

Losing one or two Divine Sons and a bit of the Divine Power of Soul Split won’t harm those Emperors at the core.

But if this avatar falls in the Mortal World, it would cause substantial damage to her Primordial Qi.

She had already suffered damage once before.

Previously in the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace, one of Shen Jingli’s Near-God Rank avatars was slain by the Wood Sword Immortal.

"Friend, you need not worry about me."

Shen Jingli lifted her chin, a slight smile appearing at the corners of her lips: "Even if those Emperors are displeased at this time, they would not dare act against me carelessly. With the decisive conflict at hand, how could they recklessly place themselves on the chessboard? If something happens to me, who will take over my role in dealing with Emperor Jianyuan and Chu Xisheng?"

Shen Putian uttered a thoughtful ’hm,’ pondering: "You speak sense."

Such an existence as Shen Jingli demands the Pangu Dominator’s considerable attention.

They temporarily cannot find a suitable replacement.

The Outer Domain has numerous Wild Gods available to them.

However, even ten Lower Gods cannot compare to this avatar of Shen Jingli.

Though their tier is the same, the essence of power is different.

Moreover, this Master of Pure and Satisfied had once competed with Tai Chu Xuan Nu for the title of "Master of Thousand Plots," possessing exceptionally high wisdom.

"However, we cannot simply allow Emperor Jianyuan to run unchecked. We cannot permit his Yin Yang Unity to continue to grow."

"I understand, but you are using the wrong method."

Shen Jingli let out a derisive laugh: "People like Emperor Jianyuan don’t require military force at all."

"Oh? Please explain."

"Earlier, I sensed a hint of Corpse Energy on him. If I’m not mistaken, he likely used the Corpse Poison of the Heavenly Gaze to acquire the Extreme Yang Body."

Shen Jingli’s eyes glimmered with Divine Light, with a note of mocking in her voice: "The reason this person willingly becomes a pawn for the Zhe Dragon and Yin God is that he believes rescuing Diwa will grant him Diwa’s protection, allowing him to live eternally and become the Fourth Generation Saint Emperor of the Human Clan.

But what if he realizes one day that none of this will come true, and the promises made to him by the Zhe Dragon are illusions, mere dream bubble shadows? What do you think he will choose to do?"

"Emperor Jianyuan is inherently cold and ambitious, unscrupulous in his methods."

Shen Putian’s words were decisive: "At that point, if we offer him just a little enticement, he’s sure to give up, sure to betray. The question is, how do we make him see it that way? I don’t know about the Yin Yang Gods, but the Zhe Dragon probably does have some sincerity towards him."

"All we need to do is trigger the Corpse Poison within him. A Poison Corpse has no qualification to become the Saint Emperor of the Human Clan."

Shen Jingli’s lips curved up into a confident smile: "I suspect Emperor Jianyuan’s next move is to duplicate the real Heavenly Gaze, thereby controlling the four Ancestor Corpses of the Human Clan. That is our opportunity."

Shen Putian couldn’t help but marvel silently.

This individual faced off against Tai Chu Xuan Nu for nearly five hundred thousand years, almost replacing the "Master of Thousand Plots."

The solutions she proposes are indeed far superior to rash assaults.

The extreme tunneling speed of the Bathing Sun Divine Ship can reach three hundred thousand miles in a day.

Yet Chu Xisheng still took seven days to reach the skies above the Returning Ruins. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Years ago, when Chu Xisheng first came here, he found the scenery of the Returning Ruins enchanting and fantastical, unparalleled in its grandeur.
