"Freeze!"
Jiang Che raised his hand and crushed the item card in his grasp!
[Immobilization Card: 100% chance to forcibly freeze and immobilize any existence below the Transcendence Realm for 15 minutes.]
[Price: 500 million points.]
Jiang Che had really paid a hefty price this time, directly using an Immobilization Card on Tian Chan.
The moment the Immobilization Card took effect, Tian Chan, who was in a state of sheer fury, was instantly frozen in place, her body locked in an incredibly bizarre posture.
This kind of immobilization didn't directly lock time and space. Instead, it was a conceptual ability targeting the individual, temporarily deleting the very concept of autonomous movement.
Tian Chan's eyes widened in absolute horror!
Why couldn't she move? Moreover, she couldn't feel the immortal energy within her body. She couldn't even mobilize her Orthodox Source, nor could she even open her mouth to speak.
"Heh," Jiang Che sneered. He then slowly stood up and walked toward Tian Chan.
He lightly licked his thin lips. He had to admit, this Immobilization Card was incredibly useful.
He wondered how Sun Wukong managed to hold himself back after freezing the Seven Fairies during his havoc in Heaven. Was it because humans and demons walked different paths?
Young Master Jiang, however, was different. Even if humans and demons walked different paths, there was still a path to explore!
"With your meager skills, you actually wanted to lay a hand on me? You need a beating!"
And so, Jiang Che directly hoisted Tian Chan over his shoulder!
[How dare you, you insolent brat?!]
[You—]
Tian Chan was completely stupefied. Unable to speak, she could only glare fiercely at Jiang Che. To think that a dignified Supreme Immortal Venerable was utterly helpless against Jiang Che at this moment.
Pressing her down over his lap, his large hand smacked directly onto Tian Chan's rear!
"You dare slander me? When did I ever take your things?" Jiang Che scolded as he spanked her.
"And you wanted to strike first?"
"This smack is to punish you for your reckless murderous intent and disregard for the Heavenly Dao!"
"This smack is to punish you for acting all high and mighty while bullying the weak!"
"This smack is to punish you for... well, you just deserve a beating!"
Smack! Smack! Smack! The sounds rang out!
[Beep! Host has scammed Tian Chan, gaining 2 billion points.]
[Beep! Host has scammed Tian Chan, gaining 2 billion points.]
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. This little Tian Chan was quite the point-generating machine, providing an endless stream!
However, just as Jiang Che was getting carried away, a figure slowly walked in.
"Husband, I have just retrieved the missing corner of the Heavenly Emperor Seal and merged it back into the Imperial Seal. The complete Heavenly Emperor Seal has been restored..."
Di Zhao walked to Jiang Che's side, holding the Heavenly Emperor Seal in her hands. She merely cast an indifferent glance at the beaten Tian Chan and said nothing more.
"Uh..."
Jiang Che looked a bit awkward, his raised hand hovering in mid-air, right about to deliver another smack.
"Zhao Zhao, what did you say? The Imperial Seal has been restored?"
"That is correct. There is also some unnoteworthy junk," Di Zhao leaned forward, half-kneeling before Jiang Che as she offered the Imperial Seal in her hands.
To her, Jiang Che was first and foremost the Heavenly Emperor, and her husband second!
"Junk?" Jiang Che took the Heavenly Emperor Seal.
[Heavenly Emperor Seal: A complete Dao Artifact, containing the will of the Ancient Heavenly Court.]
"Mhm."
"It's just some useless spirit stones and immortal herbs, nothing more."
Useless spirit stones and immortal herbs... nothing more??
Tian Chan, who had just suffered a beating, was completely dumbfounded by what she heard.
The treasures of the Heavenly Court's secret realm that she had gone through untold hardships to obtain, along with the foundation the Heavenly Dao Palace had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, were actually considered garbage by this woman???
What a joke!
Who did she think she was? The daughter of the Heavenly Emperor?
It was like saving up painstakingly to buy a million-dollar Maybach, rarely even bearing to drive it, only to have someone else degrade it as utterly worthless.
How could she not be furious?
Di Zhao's expression remained placid. As the sole daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, let alone immortal herbs... she had seen more than one unparalleled Dao herb that was unique across all eternity.
The spiritual energy concentration during the Ancient Heavenly Court era was completely different from the current Nine Heavens. The so-called immortal-grade spirit stones today didn't even have a single trace of immortal spiritual energy. Did they even deserve to be called immortal-grade spirit stones?
During the peak of the Heavenly Court, there were even immortal stones that gained sentience, born as immortals right from the start. Now those were true immortal stones!
"So Zhao Zhao, you really robbed... uh no, you retrieved the Heavenly Court Token?"
"Naturally. It never belonged to her in the first place!" Di Zhao spoke calmly, looking down at Tian Chan in Jiang Che's arms.
Hearing this, Tian Chan grew even angrier. What did she mean it didn't belong to her? What right did she have to say that? She had spent ten thousand years refining it!
And right at that moment, the effect of Tian Chan's Immobilization Card wore off.
Tian Chan began to struggle, forcefully breaking free from Jiang Che's grasp.
"You shameless scoundrel!!!"
She glared furiously at Jiang Che, her fists tightly clenched. The aura of a Supreme Immortal Venerable surged forth, though she kept it somewhat restrained.
"Insolent trespasser!"
Di Zhao took a step forward, revealing her strength. Astonishingly, she was also an existence at the Immortal Venerable level. As the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor... her cultivation naturally wouldn't be weak.
Di Zhao stood up and shielded Jiang Che behind her. Even facing Tian Chan, who had already merged with the Dao, she didn't show a hint of fear, not losing out in the slightest!
"You—" Tian Chan lost her color. Who was this woman before her? She was actually no weaker than herself? When did such a female Immortal Venerable appear in the Nine Heavens?
"Heavenly Dao Palace? You call yourselves the inheritors of the Ancient Heavenly Court's will?" Di Zhao cast a cold glance at Tian Chan.
"If you inherited the Heavenly Court's will, when seeing the Heavenly Emperor... why do you not bow? When meeting the Empress... why do you not kneel?"
Di Zhao's words left Tian Chan completely stunned.
Meanwhile, Jiang Che lightly licked his lips. This feeling of hiding behind a woman and acting like a kept man... felt pretty damn good.
"Palace Master Tian, let me introduce you. The woman standing before you is my wife... well, one of them. She is the orphaned daughter of the former Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the true Imperial Princess."
Saying that, Jiang Che took out the Heavenly Emperor Seal in his hand and waved it in front of her.
"Although you refined the Heavenly Court Token, the token itself belonged to my wife in the first place, and now it has become her dowry... so it's only right that she takes it back, isn't it!" Jiang Che shrugged, looking utterly helpless.
[Beep! Host has scammed Tian Chan, gaining 2 billion points.]
Tian Chan was completely dumbfounded. The Ancient Heavenly Court had perished, and you're telling me the Heavenly Emperor's daughter is still alive? Furthermore, over a million years have passed. Could it be that the person before her had also merged with the Great Dao Source like she had?
"Daughter of the Heavenly Emperor?" Tian Chan scrutinized Di Zhao with her gaze.
She had to admit, this woman's aura was indeed incredibly powerful, so powerful that she didn't seem like an existence from this era.
"An Immortal Venerable who has merged with the Orthodox Source is indeed worthy of the Heavenly Emperor," Di Zhao said flatly. Just a single glance at Tian Chan was enough for her to determine... this woman's destiny and marriage were bound together with Jiang Che. Otherwise, just based on her insolent words towards Jiang Che... it would have been enough for her to die ten times over.
"What right do you have to arbitrarily judge who I am worthy of? I, Tian Chan, do not need others to define me," Tian Chan said coldly. "Even if we assume you are the Imperial Princess, I have no need to respect you."
"The Ancient Heavenly Court has already fallen, completely reduced to the dust of history..."
"Audacious!" Tian Chan had clearly touched Di Zhao's reverse scale.
Then, the two women instantly vanished from where they stood.
Are... are they fighting?
