Chapter 280: Assisting The Emperor-level Great Demon
Spider Spirit?
And not just any ordinary Spider Spirit, but somewhat like Great Immortal Pansil.
You know, Great Immortal Pansil has quite the background. Even in《Journey to the West》, she exists only as a profoundly unfathomable background figure, the Ancestor Master of the seven Spider Spirits in Pansil Cave, with Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord merely her grand-disciple.
And in another version of Journey to the West, it’s even more so: Buddha’s one lamp, two lifetimes in the mortal world, with a Buddhist background.
In this light, Kun Youniang’s “closeness” with Little Di Ting does have some origin, after all, both sides have a Buddhist background.
Additionally, according to some Taoist scriptures, Pansil Cave and Great Immortal Pansil are somewhat related to Pangu’s eyelashes.
Goodness, no wonder Second Sister-in-law is interested in the【Laurel Tree】, it all matches up, doesn’t it?
But none of the above matters.
What’s important is Second Brother Xue Zhengying, this “special existence.”
Now it seems, he’s somewhat like “Supreme Treasure”!
In the future, when Monkey Brother is made, no matter what, a “authorized original copy” spot must be reserved for Xue Zhengying, letting the two rekindle their romance in this world, also making up for that lingering regret.
In the midst of sighs, Kun Youniang had already transformed into human form, teasingly asking with a smile, “In your view, how should this Emperor’s big spider be handled?”
“No, no,” Wu Xian waved his hand with a smile, “A great demon of your level is no longer something that can be casually targeted.”
Empress nodded with a smile, indicating great satisfaction.
“Um… could I feel your Divine Power Core?” Wu Xian tentatively inquired.
At these words, the two people and one dog on site were all stunned, even Xue Zhengying furrowed his brows.
“Don’t worry, just a simple look,” Wu Xian hurriedly emphasized and explained, “To be honest, I really do have a scroll painting concept for a spider type, and it feels quite compatible with Second Sister-in-law.”
Hearing this, the two people and one dog became even more vigilant.
“Kid, what are you up to? If you’re having any crooked thoughts about my Insect Sister, I… I’ll fight you!” Little Di Ting said righteously.
Kun Youniang’s eyes showed an anomaly, “You have a scroll painting concept derived from our Insectoid Otherworld?”
“From another angle, without a certain understanding of the Insectoid Race, how could I conceive of Sun Star Lord? Right?” Wu Xian laughed.
“That’s true.” Kun Youniang nodded slightly.
There’s a saying that goes well: your enemies often know you best; only with a full understanding of your opponent can you make the most targeted response.
After some thought, Kun Youniang slowly opened her soul sea of consciousness, “It’s fine to let you feel it; if you can find some inspiration and create a scroll painting of our Insectoid Race type, this Emperor would be very happy.”
Wu Xian took a deep breath, carefully probing his divine sense into Kun Youniang’s soul sea of consciousness.
After a simple feeling, he could basically confirm his guess.
It’s just that Kun Youniang’s【Divine Power Core】 development is still not very perfect, far from the true Great Immortal Pansil, but even so, it has already made her a hegemon in the Insectoid Realm.
Additionally, there was an obvious origin damage in Kun Youniang’s Divine Power Core.
“The damage from saving Second Brother back then hasn’t recovered yet?”
Wu Xian, retracting his divine sense probe, couldn’t help but inquire.
Kun Youniang neither confirmed nor denied it; in fact, this was also the fundamental reason she had been unable to advance to Emperor-level.
After some thought, Wu Xian used divine sense transmission to secretly send the scroll painting concept of Great Immortal Pansil to Kun Youniang.
The moment she received the scroll painting concept, Kun Youniang clearly stunned for a moment, but soon calmed down.
To be honest, it was her first time contacting a human scroll painting concept.
Moreover, Wu Xian’s scroll painting concept faintly exuded a mysterious sense of closeness; carefully experiencing the wonders within might aid her future cultivation and evolution.
“Thanks,” Kun Youniang said thoughtfully: “When the Insect Realm Sentry Post is established later, this Emperor will reserve a piece of land for you in my territory.”
“Politeness.” Wu Xian waved his hand with a smile.
Later, when Pansil Cave is made, I’m afraid you’ll be so delighted you won’t want to leave, directly “relocating the capital” there.
Seeing this, Xue Zhengying and Little Di Ting naturally realized Wu Xian had “helped” Kun Youniang, and couldn’t help but curiously inquire, but unfortunately Kun Youniang didn’t say much.
“As for Second Sister-in-law’s origin damage,” Wu Xian thought, then used his intent to snap off a branch from the【Remnant·Laurel Tree】 in his hand, turning it into a shimmering Laurel Branch, “perhaps you can try this?”
As he expected, the moment she saw the “Laurel Branch,” Empress’s whole demeanor became unsettled.
After all, she had been eyeing this “scent” for a long time, but hadn’t found it easy to speak up.
“Beloved Consort said this is your Spiritual Object Scroll Painting; won’t it damage your Spiritual Object Scroll Painting too much?” Kun Youniang finally calmed down.
“If I had to say, it just consumes a bit of my spiritual power.” Wu Xian lightly smiled, gesturing for her to relax.
A Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root like the Laurel Tree inherently carries the “Undying Tree” characteristic.
Put simply, from the moment the Laurel Tree became a scroll painting, it was already an “indestructible forever” scroll painting.
Previously, when making the【Laurel Tree】 rubbing, Laurel Tree branches were used similarly, as was the Natal Flying Sword Laurel Branch.
This bit of damage was almost negligible to the Laurel Tree.
It just needed a tiny bit of his spiritual power as a “medium” during growth and recovery.
In plain terms, as long as Wu Xian’s spiritual power doesn’t run out, the Laurel Tree is immortal.
“Then… this Emperor won’t stand on ceremony!”
Kun Youniang took the Laurel Tree branch with slight embarrassment, immediately sitting cross-legged to begin absorbing and refining it.
The absorption process was very slow, like savoring it carefully; on the refined mature woman’s face, a trace of intoxicating radiance emerged.
“Thanks, Little Wu,” Xue Zhengying said softly: “If that girl Ling Ling doesn’t behave in the future, Second Brother will step in for you.”
Wu Xian was amused and helpless, confirming it was indeed his own brother.
Soon after, a majestic Insectoid Realm aura surged from within Kun Youniang, mild yet intense, almost enveloping the entire Underworld Outpost.
“Congratulations, Insect Sister, on advancing to Emperor-level!” Little Di Ting said with genuine excitement.
Xue Zhengying’s eyes inexplicably reddened.
Yes, this one Laurel Branch actually allowed Kun Youniang to directly advance to Emperor-level Great Demon.
It wasn’t that this Laurel Branch provided a huge boost, but it had a nourishing effect on Kun Youniang’s origin.
And Kun Youniang had long reached the standard for Emperor-level; once the origin damage was repaired, advancing to Emperor-level was only natural.
“This favor, this Emperor will remember,” Kun Youniang said after stabilizing her realm, slowly opening her eyes, “but the power of your spiritual object seems somewhat incomplete; I wonder what the reason is?”
“The conceived tier is too high; current material level can’t keep up.” Wu Xian said helplessly, “Additionally, improving the Laurel Tree is quite demanding; it needs to absorb Earth Vein power from Otherworld mine veins.”
Kun Youniang understood, her eyes flashing slightly, “My territory does have a few Earth Veins; you can collect them when you have time. As for subsequent improvement materials, this Emperor will help you scout and note them.”
“That would be great.” Wu Xian was delighted.
“But for the follow-up…” Kun Youniang’s eyes flickered, hesitating to speak.
Wu Xian smiled faintly, “Relax, plenty to go around!”
Kun Youniang had been waiting for these words; she immediately became full of energy and motivation.
Put simply, nowadays, regarding improving the【Laurel Tree】, she was even more anxious and invested than Wu Xian.
