Making a Countercharge

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what happened to you?! Please don't scare me!" Immortal Empress Xihe held the jade pendant with both hands, crying out anxiously.

However, the voice of the Chongming Immortal King did not sound from the other side again.

There was only a loud bang, which seemed to be the sound of the jade pendant shattering.

It seemed that the jade pendant on the Chongming Immortal King's body had been smashed.

What exactly was in the Immortal Fall Battlefield? To think that even an Immortal King would be drawn into such a bitter struggle, his fate unknown?

"Your Majesty! Please answer me! Your Majesty!" Immortal Empress Xihe continued to cry out, refusing to give up, desperately wanting to hear that familiar voice.

Gu Qingfeng felt very irritated. Heaven knew, he just wanted the Chongming Immortal King to come home as soon as possible. Was he wrong for that?

Of course not. Then whose fault was it?

Slap!

"Stop your damn crying. It's all your fault. Who told you to contact the Chongming Immortal King? If it weren't for you, would he have been distracted during his battle?"

Immortal Empress Xihe's eyes were bloodshot. She glared at him and cursed, "It's you! It's all your fault! You were the one who made me contact His Majesty. If anything happens to His Majesty..."

"You ***! If anything happens to this Emperor's family member, this Emperor will definitely not let you off!"

Immortal Empress Xihe was stunned for a moment, feeling as if her lines had just been stolen.

"You... you are shameless!"

"This Emperor is shameless? What if you hadn't screamed just now? If you hadn't screamed, would he have been distracted?"

"Me screaming? If you hadn't used so much force, would I have screamed?!"

"A prisoner actually dares to talk back!"

Slap, slap, slap...

Immortal Empress Xihe finally quieted down. Like an abandoned, resentful wife, she lay on her stomach on the bed, sobbing silently. As for why she did not lie on her back, it was because she couldn't.

As she shed tears, she tightly gripped the jade pendant, hoping to hear that familiar voice once again.

"Give it here!" Gu Qingfeng directly snatched the jade pendant away.

When it came to being anxious, he was anxious too. Who wouldn't want their family to return safely?

Immortal Empress Xihe panicked. This jade pendant was her only remaining hope.

"Give it back to me!"

At this moment, Immortal Empress Xihe was like a little dog protecting its food. She lunged straight at Gu Qingfeng, completely disregarding how close they were or how much he was taking advantage of her, her mind set solely on snatching back the jade pendant.

Thud.

Gu Qingfeng went with the flow and fell backward, pretending to have been knocked down by Immortal Empress Xihe.

"Give it to me, hurry!"

"Are you that impatient?" Gu Qingfeng smiled wickedly.

"You bastard, give the jade pendant back to me!" Immortal Empress Xihe also noticed that her current posture and words were quite inappropriate, but she had to get the jade pendant back.

"You want the jade pendant? Simple, let this Emperor..."

Gu Qingfeng also figured it out. His family member was far away in the Immortal Fall Battlefield, so this matter couldn't be rushed. The most pressing matter was to take good care of his family member's wife first, saving his family member from any worries back home.

He couldn't let it turn into a situation where his family member fought bloody battles outside, only to return and find his wife living in a doghouse.

He felt that he had to fully fulfill his duties and properly comfort his family member's wife so that she wouldn't be too heartbroken.

This comforting lasted for three days.

Under Gu Qingfeng's meticulous and all-pervasive intimate care, Immortal Empress Xihe's anxious emotions were finally greatly alleviated.

At the very least, she no longer cried every day. Instead, her fighting spirit soared. Whenever she had free time, she would cultivate diligently, her eyes filled with the flames of revenge, wanting to break through to the Immortal King realm as soon as possible.

Gu Qingfeng always appreciated hardworking and ambitious people. He immediately and generously bestowed upon Immortal Empress Xihe a lot of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Liquid to aid in her cultivation.

On this day...

Immortal Empress Xihe climbed out of bed and looked at Gu Qingfeng, who was still resting beside her. The hatred in her eyes was overwhelming. Immortal light gathered in her hand to form an immortal sword, which she pointed at Gu Qingfeng's neck.

But just a few centimeters away from his neck, she stopped, her eyes full of struggle.

It wasn't that she had developed feelings over time, but that she clearly knew that with her current strength, she simply could not kill this demon! Instead, she would only alert the snake in the grass, and subsequently suffer even more brutal humiliation.

She could not contact His Majesty, and the Chongming clan members were still controlled by this demon. For now, she absolutely could not give up on herself. The only chance to break out of this situation was to cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Immortal King realm.

Through her observations over the past few days, she found that this demon, Gu Qingfeng, was extremely arrogant and seemed to have absolute confidence in his own strength. Every time after doing the deed, he would blatantly sleep by her side, concealing all the mana fluctuations on his body, completely defenseless.

It could be said that his entire body was full of flaws.

Immortal Empress Xihe felt that she had a hundred ways to kill him, but she did not dare to try easily, solely because the invincible posture of Gu Qingfeng holding up the ten-thousand-foot Star Abyss with one hand that day had left an indelible impression on her.

Therefore, without absolute certainty, she would not make a move.

And this absolute certainty was to break through and become an Immortal King!

Through her probing, she found that Gu Qingfeng did not stop her from cultivating at all; in fact, he highly encouraged it.

Gu Qingfeng! Sooner or later, you will pay the price for your arrogance! The day I become an Immortal King will be the day you meet your end!

Immortal Empress Xihe thought to herself, her beautiful eyes erupting with extreme hatred. Soon after, she restrained her hatred and prepared to go cultivate.

Just as she was putting on her clothes, she saw the marks on her body and only felt a pang of heartache.

I am no longer clean. With this ruined and defiled body, what face will I have to see His Majesty in the future?

After wallowing in self-pity for a while, Immortal Empress Xihe got up and went to cultivate.

Not long after, Gu Qingfeng leisurely woke up. Looking at Immortal Empress Xihe, who was working hard to cultivate for his sake by the side, he smiled faintly.

This woman was indeed not bad; she was good in every aspect, and she even knew to take the initiative to cultivate.

Speaking of cultivation, Gu Qingfeng sensed his own cultivation base and was very satisfied.

Peak Golden Immortal!

Coming to the Chongming Immortal Clan this time was truly a massive profit. Aside from the accident with the Chongming Immortal King, everything else went very smoothly.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the Chongming clan members, he had directly opened up all the immortal meridians in his body, crossing the Heavenly Immortal realm. He then condensed an immortal heart to enter the Profound Immortal realm. Coupled with the help of the nine quasi-Immortal Kings, he successfully forged immortal bones of imperishability, stepping into the ranks of Golden Immortals and walking quite far along the path of the Golden Immortal.

As for being able to reach the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, he had to thank Immortal Empress Xihe for her selfless dedication over the past few days, selflessly offering up the primordial yin she had treasured for many years.

In fact, Gu Qingfeng was only one step away from the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, and he could easily take this step. The so-called Zenith Heaven was actually choosing and comprehending an eternal Great Dao as the foundation of one's own Dao, thereby possessing the power of eternal laws.

But Gu Qingfeng did not directly enter the Zenith Heaven realm. It wasn't that he lacked an eternal Great Dao to choose and comprehend, but rather that there were too many Great Daos, making it hard to decide.

Because he had devoured too many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, even quasi-Immortal Kings, and even the Star Extreme Immortal King, he possessed the Daos of all of them.

Of course, if he had to choose, the Star Extreme Immortal King's Star Extreme Great Dao would definitely be the first choice. After all, this was the Dao of an Immortal King.

However, Gu Qingfeng did not want to choose it. True, the Star Extreme Immortal King was very strong, but he was still not strong enough.

He had better choices, such as the Heavenly Poison Law from the Poison Demon. With the Great Dao Poison Body, entering the Zenith Heaven realm through poison would be a breeze.

Besides the Heavenly Poison Law, there was also the Law of Turbidity brought by the Myriad Turbidity Hell-Suppressing Physique, which was equally not weak in the slightest.

In fact, when it comes to the strongest, it still has to be the Great Dao of Calamity!
