360: Huaiyu's life experience

Above the sky, as the eyes of the Empress's phantom opened, she, who had been like one in a deep slumber, now seemed to come alive.

At this moment, the Empress's aura was restrained; judging by her aura alone, she did not appear to be a peerless expert, but rather like a mortal, without a hint of sharpness.

This was a return to simplicity in terms of aura.

However, if one noticed her jade-like body and her jade-like eyes, even the most unobservant person would be able to sense her extraordinary nature!

Below, Mu Wuchen carefully observed the Empress who had appeared before him, his expression calm.

The people in the field had never seen an Emperor Realm expert, so these members of the Eastern Family all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, not daring to even lift their heads, but Mu Wuchen had already seen many.

The Ancient Human Emperor, the Nine-Colored Empress Fuli, and the Taixu Emperor Dragon—these were all Emperor Realm experts from the ancient era, and the auras they exuded were clearly much more powerful than that of the Empress before him!

Moreover, at this moment, the Empress was not in her complete state; the Empress before him was merely a wisp of her true form's remaining power, and although she still possessed an Emperor Realm aura, her strength was no longer comparable to her true form, just like the Taixu Emperor Dragon back then.

Emperor Realm experts, each possessing various heaven-defying means, were extremely difficult to truly perish; the Empress before him had clearly used her means to preserve a sliver of life after facing a great life-and-death tribulation!

Through his Heavenly Eye, Mu Wuchen had already discerned the identity of the Empress before him—Qingyu Empress.

And her name was Qingmu Yu.

Through the aura she exuded, Mu Wuchen had already discovered that her aura bore some resemblance to Oriental Huaiyu's aura...

Oriental Huaiyu's true identity was very likely related to this Qingyu Empress!

Oriental Huaiyu was originally the Son of Destiny Chu Qing's fated female lead. Although the destiny Chu Qing possessed was not heaven-defying, Oriental Huaiyu, as the fated female lead, possessed extremely high destiny, with a full 30,000 destiny points. Such a destiny value was even comparable to some Sons of Destiny!

The higher the destiny value, the more it often meant that if one did not die prematurely and grew smoothly, they would have more talent and opportunities, and a higher growth ceiling.

Previously, Mu Wuchen had been somewhat puzzled. After Oriental Huaiyu was brought into his System World, she did not display much cultivation talent; in fact, she could be said to be unremarkable. Furthermore, she seemed to have no interest in cultivation, instead focusing most of her attention on him...

At this moment, Mu Wuchen finally knew the reason.

Eastern Crown Jade's extremely high destiny value must be related to the Qingyu Empress, Qingmu Yu, before him!

Qingmu Yu slowly opened her eyes, and when she met Mu Wuchen's completely open gaze, a hint of surprise flashed in her expression.

Immediately, Qingmu Yu turned to look at Oriental Huaiyu, she sighed softly, and her ethereal voice rang out.

"Alas, I didn't expect that the desperate measure back then would actually give me a glimmer of hope..."

As soon as her voice fell, the Qingyu Empress's figure solidified further, showing faint signs of merging with Oriental Huaiyu!

At this moment, Oriental Huaiyu was gently frowning, motionless, as if in a daze.

Oriental Huaiyu and Qingmu Yu were clearly closely related. If the two completely merged, with Oriental Huaiyu's current strength, it was highly likely that she would be assimilated by the Qingyu Empress...

And this fusion was clearly dominated by the Qingyu Empress!

Just as Qingmu Yu's body was about to completely merge with Oriental Huaiyu, a huge repulsive force suddenly emerged from the deepest part of Oriental Huaiyu's Sea of Consciousness, hindering the fusion of the two!

That was the power Mu Wuchen had left in Oriental Huaiyu's divine soul origin!

The next second, Mu Wuchen flashed, instantly appearing in front of Oriental Huaiyu.

With Mu Wuchen's arrival, Oriental Huaiyu's body suddenly stiffened, and her expression instantly recovered somewhat...

She took a few steps back, leaning her body into Mu Wuchen's arms, and at the same time, looked at Qingmu Yu opposite her with a somewhat nervous expression.

The fusion process being interrupted clearly startled the Qingyu Empress.

She had not expected that there would actually be another person's power in the deepest part of Oriental Huaiyu's divine soul origin!

"Qingmu Yu."

A cold voice suddenly sounded.

Hearing Mu Wuchen's voice, the Qingyu Empress was clearly startled.

Since she became an Empress through the Dao of Jade, it had been a long time since she had heard anyone call her by her name directly.

"She is her, you are you, get out of her body!"

Hearing Mu Wuchen's impolite words, Qingmu Yu's delicate brows furrowed slightly, clearly showing some anger.

She let out a soft snort, and the look in her eyes towards Mu Wuchen also became slightly unfriendly, but she knew that this was a critical moment for her rebirth and could not afford any mistakes, so she still suppressed the anger in her heart...

"Mu Wuchen, do you know her identity?"

During the fleeting fusion process just now, the Qingyu Empress had already learned about Mu Wuchen.

Hearing the Qingyu Empress's words, Mu Wuchen remained silent, only looking at the opposite side with burning eyes, his expression not avoiding at all, extremely aggressive.

At the same time, he had already communicated with the System in his mind, and the Six Paths Demon Lord Experience Card was ready to be activated at any time!

Feeling Mu Wuchen's gaze, the Qingyu Empress was also slightly startled.

Although she no longer possessed her former strength and only had a wisp of residual power, this wisp of true soul Emperor's might still remained, and even Supreme Realm experts would feel an extremely strong sense of oppression when sensing this power.

But at this moment, the White-Robed Man opposite him, judging by his aura alone, was not weak at all, and even faintly seemed to have an aura that surpassed hers!

How was this possible?!

At the same time, her expression towards Mu Wuchen also became a few points more serious.

The White-Robed Man before her was not simple!

Qingmu Yu gazed at Mu Wuchen, then looked again at Oriental Huaiyu, who was leaning in Mu Wuchen's arms, and slowly said.

"She was born from a fragment of my destined Emperor Weapon, the Qinghe Ancient Jade, and a drop of my destined essence blood, imbued with spirit. I and she are originally one."

"If she merges with me, her consciousness will not dissipate."

Hearing Qingmu Yu's words, Mu Wuchen's expression did not show much surprise.

He had already more or less guessed the answer.

The Qingyu Empress was on the verge of perishing for some reason. Before her demise, she integrated a drop of her destined essence blood into the Qinghe Ancient Jade fragment she mentioned, nurturing it to form a spirit, seeking a glimmer of hope.

Afterward, she sealed her last remaining bit of power to prevent it from completely dissipating between heaven and earth.

And the current Oriental Huaiyu was precisely the vessel carrying this power!

However, it seemed that the situation had somewhat exceeded Qingmu Yu's expectations...

Logically speaking, even if Oriental Huaiyu already had her own consciousness, she should not be able to resist merging with herself, because she was originally born from her...

But at this moment, something seemed to have changed...

However, upon hearing Qingmu Yu's explanation, Mu Wuchen still shook his head...
