Azure Flame World!
Ye Qingyan was in her palace, comprehending the Great Dao. Her aura seemed to have merged with the Azure Flame World, but upon closer inspection, one would find that her Dao and Dharma had a very subtle barrier with the Azure Flame World's Dao principles. This barrier was thinner than the thinnest paper in all the heavens and myriad worlds, yet it became an insurmountable chasm for her to integrate with the Azure Flame World.
"Buzz!"
Ye Qingyan opened her eyes, a flash of azure flame flickering within, before returning to ordinary black pupils.
"Still no good!"
Ye Qingyan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed. She was currently at the limit of a Celestial Venerable, only a step away from Celestial Emperor. The key to this step was the Azure Flame World left to her by her father, Ye Hongchen.
The Azure Flame World was originally a world seed, containing a complete source of the Great Dao. When she was young, her father told her that as long as she could completely merge with this world seed in the Celestial Venerable realm, she would be able to break through the shackles of her realm and achieve the Celestial Emperor fruit!
Ye Qingyan admired her father very much, so she believed his words. From the moment she became a Celestial Venerable, she began trying to merge her Dao with the Dao of the Azure Flame World. Initially, progress was smooth. Under her nurturing, the Azure Flame World quickly became a small universe, and the level of this small universe was no less than any great world. But from then on, no matter what method she used, she could not make the Azure Flame World a true great world, and she could not completely merge with the Azure Flame World.
She had also consulted some old seniors, but the gains were minimal.
"What went wrong?" Ye Qingyan formed mysterious hand seals, deducing, wanting to use her powerful cultivation to calculate a correct path.
However, if it were so easy for her to deduce, there wouldn't be so few Celestial Emperors in all the heavens and myriad worlds.
In the end, she gave up the deduction, because she had deduced countless times, and each time the result was the same, every path she saw was a dead end.
"Princess!"
Just then, Wei Qizhao's voice came from outside the palace.
Ye Qingyan relaxed her mind and said softly, "Uncle Qizhao, come in!"
As her voice fell, Wei Qizhao walked in.
"This old minister greets Your Highness the Princess." Wei Qizhao respectfully saluted.
Ye Qingyan no longer bothered with Wei Qizhao's attitude. She had told him many times that there was no need to be so polite, but Wei Qizhao always insisted on the distinction between ruler and subject. Since that was the case, then so be it!
Ye Qingyan asked, "Uncle Qizhao, is there something wrong?"
She had previously instructed Wei Qizhao not to disturb her easily unless there was a major event, and to leave all other matters to Wei Qizhao.
"Your Highness, Celestial Venerable Wanhua has arrived!" Wei Qizhao said softly.
"Why is he here!" Ye Qingyan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, her attitude clearly unwelcoming to this Celestial Venerable Wanhua.
Wei Qizhao then advised, "Your Highness, this old minister knows that you do not like Celestial Venerable Wanhua, but as the saying goes, give face to the Buddha even if you don't give it to the monk. You should still meet him!"
Although Ye Qingyan was unwilling, she also knew that Wei Qizhao was right. Give face to the Buddha even if you don't give it to the monk, if not for Celestial Venerable's sake, then for Celestial Emperor's sake. Who told his father to be the current Celestial Emperor?
At this time, Ye Qingyan also wanted to act like a spoiled little girl and run into her father's arms to act coquettishly, but unfortunately, now she could only support herself alone.
Ye Qingyan gave a self-deprecating bitter smile, then asked, "Then let's meet him!"
Wei Qizhao couldn't help but smile bitterly as he listened to the princess's reluctant tone. Only his princess could regard a Celestial Venerable as nothing.
But who told their princess to have that strength?
Inside a luxurious welcoming hall, a young man who could be considered handsome and jade-like, looking only in his early thirties, sat inside, and beside him stood a young man with an extremely respectful attitude.
The young man was Celestial Venerable Wanhua, and standing beside him was his personal disciple!
At this moment, Ye Qingyan and Wei Qizhao arrived together in the hall. When Celestial Venerable Wanhua saw Ye Qingyan, his eyes lit up. He stood up and said enthusiastically, "Fellow Daoist Qingyan, long time no see, how have you been recently!"
Ye Qingyan didn't give him any face and sneered, "I've been very well recently, of course, it would be even better if you didn't come."
"Cough cough!"
Wei Qizhao behind Ye Qingyan quickly coughed to remind her to watch her words.
Celestial Venerable Wanhua's face also flashed with a trace of embarrassment, and a trace of anger flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he concealed it very well.
Celestial Venerable Wanhua laughed, "Fellow Daoist Qingyan, if these words were to reach my father, I'm afraid he would scold me again for ruining the friendship between our two families."
Ye Qingyan frowned slightly. Celestial Venerable Wanhua's father was the famous Danqing Celestial Emperor of the heavens and myriad worlds, and a friend of her father's. But as the saying goes, when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and when a wall falls, everyone pushes it. There is only eternal benefit in the world.
Originally, after she left the Red Dust World with Wei Qizhao and others, she lived an anonymous life. But as her cultivation became stronger, she gradually made a great name for herself in the heavens and myriad worlds. As early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, Celestial Venerable Wanhua found her, claiming to be the son of Danqing Celestial Emperor, and invited her to gather in the Danqing Great World.
Out of consideration for Danqing Celestial Emperor's face, Ye Qingyan went to the Danqing Great World.
After arriving at the Danqing Great World, Danqing Celestial Emperor took great care of her, it could even be called meticulous. Just when she was about to be grateful, Danqing Celestial Emperor finally revealed his true colors.
Danqing Celestial Emperor wanted to match her with his son, Celestial Venerable Wanhua. If that was all, then so be it, but Ye Qingyan knew that Danqing Celestial Emperor's ultimate goal was not only this, but also for the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Celestial Art.
Back then, her father relied on his self-created Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Celestial Art to become the strongest Celestial Emperor in the heavens and myriad worlds as soon as he stepped into the Celestial Emperor realm, making the Red Dust World, which was originally at the bottom in terms of comprehensive strength, a great world that shook the heavens, which also attracted the attention of all realms in the heavens and myriad worlds.
Her father's light was too dazzling, which naturally aroused the covetousness of countless monsters and demons.
At that time, she was not yet born, she heard these things from her mother when she was a child.
Her mother said: On that day, the Red Dust World was auspicious and peaceful, but three incomparably magnificent shadows broke this peace. The scales and hairs on those three shadows alone were bigger than the Red Dust World. As a result, she ate delicacies she had never eaten before that day.
When she was a child, she thought her mother was telling her a story to deceive her, until she gradually entered a better state in her cultivation, became an immortal, a king, and then a venerable, she knew what those three shadows were.
Chaos Gods and Demons!
Existences beyond Celestial Emperor!
From then on, her father had more friends.
Ye Qingyan flashed countless thoughts in an instant. She glanced at Celestial Venerable Wanhua, how could she not know that he was using his father, Danqing Celestial Emperor, to suppress her?
She glanced at Celestial Venerable Wanhua with disdain. If her father was still alive, not to mention Danqing Celestial Emperor, even if all the other Celestial Emperors were added together, they wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
"Stop talking nonsense, what are you here for?" Ye Qingyan's tone was cold, giving people the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"Hehe, it's nothing really, I'm here to propose marriage for my unworthy disciple!" Celestial Venerable Wanhua said, then signaled the young man beside him with his eyes.
The young man understood and came in front of Ye Qingyan, respectfully saying, "Junior Bu Jingxian greets Celestial Venerable Qingyan!"
