133: Chapter 133 Swallowing Dragon Qi Again

Ji Taichang's words filled Emperor Jingxuan with joy. "Hahaha... Good! My worthy son-in-law is indeed a chivalrous man. It seems I did not misjudge you; you truly have the common people of the world in your heart..."

Before he could finish, Ji Taichang spoke unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, do not be in such a hurry. I have one small condition."

The smile on Emperor Jingxuan's face did not fade. "Worthy son-in-law, please speak. We are all family; there is no need for formalities."

Ji Taichang licked his lips. "Give me a bit more Dragon Qi to help me Breakthrough my cultivation Realm!"

"?"

The smile on Emperor Jingxuan's face instantly froze.

Dragon Qi was the manifestation of Dragon Vein Power.

The Dragon Vein was the Foundation and the greatest reserve of the Great Wu Dynasty!

Just now, Ji Taichang had swallowed several thousand years' worth of accumulated Dragon Qi in one gulp, which had already pained Emperor Jingxuan greatly. Now, he actually wanted more!

"I only need as much Dragon Qi as I received just now. If Your Majesty is unwilling to give even this much..."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Ji Taichang's mouth. He took Qin Ruolin's small hand, looking as if he were about to turn and leave.

"Worthy son-in-law, wait!"

Emperor Jingxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly spoke up!

Earlier, even using that much Dragon Qi had failed to affect Ji Taichang. Emperor Jingxuan understood in his heart that even if he went all out, he might not be able to make Ji Taichang stay!

Right now, it was Emperor Jingxuan who needed something from Ji Taichang; the initiative was in Ji Taichang's hands!

"Dragon Qi is far too scarce. Worthy son-in-law, please choose another condition..."

"I only want Dragon Qi, and it cannot be less than before. Anything else is off the table!"

Ji Taichang's attitude was extremely firm.

"This..."

Emperor Jingxuan was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Seeing Ji Taichang pull Qin Ruolin away to leave, Emperor Jingxuan shouted in a panic, "Worthy son-in-law, don't go! I... I promise you!"

To resolve the threat of the Devil Cave, Emperor Jingxuan could only grit his teeth and agree to this condition!

He activated the Imperial Seal once more, and wisps of golden Dragon Qi surged from the underground Dragon Vein. Auspicious clouds filled the sky as the energy rushed toward Ji Taichang.

Ji Taichang circulated his Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body, continuously refining this pure Dragon Qi and converting it into his own spiritual power. His cultivation strength surged explosively as a result!

In an instant.

Ji Taichang broke through his shackles and stepped into the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!!

An invisible and terrifying pressure emanated from his body, causing the civil and military officials to tremble with fear. A sense of awe and submission rose from the depths of their Bloodlines and Souls, as if they were facing a Sovereign of Humanity!

Even Emperor Jingxuan felt a pang of palpitations. He sensed an Imperial Dao pressure from Ji Taichang that was even more powerful and pure than his own!

"Wait, what??"

"I am the Emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty, so why is the Imperial Dao pressure on him stronger than mine... Could he be the monarch of an even more ancient and powerful Dynasty?"

Emperor Jingxuan's eyes widened slightly, and a great wave of shock surged in his heart!

"Jie jie jie... Truly a wonderful feeling!"

Feeling the power within his body surge by a large margin, Ji Taichang felt elated.

"Hahaha... Congratulations to my worthy son-in-law on your great increase in strength! Now, dealing with the devilish creatures in the Devil Cave will surely be as easy as reaching into one's pocket!"

"Men, quickly prepare a state banquet! I must drink my fill with my worthy son-in-law!"

Without waiting for Ji Taichang to speak, Emperor Jingxuan let out a hearty laugh and immediately ordered the banquet to be prepared. He pulled Ji Taichang aside and began chatting about family matters, fearing that Ji Taichang might ask for more Dragon Qi again.

The civil and military officials all wore respectful and fawning expressions, speaking up one after another to flatter him.

In an instant.

The court, which had previously been filled with a tense and murderous atmosphere, instantly became harmonious. Everyone had a smile on their face; it was a picture of perfect concord.

All of these changes were simply because Ji Taichang had displayed sufficiently powerful and terrifying strength and methods!

In the world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected!!

Witnessing these changes with her own eyes, Qin Ruolin felt incredibly excited and joyful. She held Ji Taichang's arm tightly, her gaze toward him as soft as water, filled with infinite love and pride!

This was her husband!!

Soon.

A grand banquet was held in the palace. Emperor Jingxuan publicly announced the cancellation of Qin Ruolin's engagement to Emperor Yuanxi and betrothed her to Ji Taichang.

After eating and drinking their fill, Ji Taichang declined Emperor Jingxuan's request for them to stay. He left the palace with Qin Ruolin and began the journey back to the Qingyun Sect.

"Husband... you're amazing!"

Not long after leaving the palace.

Qin Ruolin proactively wrapped her arms around Ji Taichang's neck. Her pure and pretty face was flushed red, and her watery eyes were filled with so much admiration and love that it seemed they might overflow.

Her body was exquisite and hot, and those two startlingly soft mounds pressed against Ji Taichang, making his internal fire flare up!

"Husband has even more amazing things. Do you want to try?"

Ji Taichang gave a wicked smile, his hands landing on her rounded bottom.

"Mm..."

Qin Ruolin's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head shyly, but a soft hum escaped her lips.

This bashful appearance made Ji Taichang's fire burn even hotter.

He immediately accelerated to full speed. After his cultivation broke through to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, his speed was incredibly fast. He soon crossed most of the Great Wu Dynasty and returned to the Qingyun Sect!

Ji Taichang pulled Qin Ruolin directly back to his room, and the two of them once again engaged in a passionate 'duo-queue'.

...

Afterward.

Looking at his beautiful wife beside him, who was repeatedly begging for mercy, Ji Taichang felt refreshed.

He summoned Lin Xueyue and Yang Yao to inform them of the results of his trip to the palace.

"Emperor Jingxuan has already betrothed Linlin to me."

Ji Taichang said, "Next, I need to make a trip to the Devil Cave to help the Great Wu Dynasty suppress the devilish creatures. I should be back before long."

"I'll go with you!"

Lin Xueyue immediately said, "The Great Wu Dynasty has many experts, yet they still want to borrow the power of the Great Yu Dynasty. This shows that the Devil Cave is very dangerous. I am now at the eighth level of the Golden Core Stage. If I fully activate my Innate Sword Bone, my strength is not inferior to a first-level Nascent Soul Stage expert. I can at least be of some help..."

She did not want Ji Taichang to take risks, and she also wanted to share his burden!

Ji Taichang rubbed her head and smiled. "Don't worry, Yue'er. With my current strength, I wouldn't even fear a Soul Transformation Stage expert, let alone a mere Devil Cave."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Lin Xueyue was somewhat suspicious.

Ji Taichang had clearly only broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage not long ago. Even if he had many trump cards and methods, saying he could contend with a Soul Transformation Stage expert was still a bit too far-fetched.

Ji Taichang didn't explain anything, only saying in a domineering tone, "You all stay here and watch the house. Your husband will go suppress the Devil Cave and be back in a flash!"

With that, Ji Taichang stepped into the air and began heading toward the border of the Great Wu Dynasty!

This was an endless wilderness with undulating mountains and towering ancient trees. There was no sign of human habitation for thousands of miles; it was extremely remote.

Amidst the high mountains and lofty ridges, the ground had collapsed and shattered, revealing a massive hole. Thick black Devilish Qi continuously erupted from it, corroding the surrounding world and constantly spreading.

Furthermore, a large number of hideous and strange-looking devilish creatures were constantly crawling out from within!
