I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

Chapter 76: Interception

The Empress's quarters.

"Empress, Su Zhan requests an audience!"

Xiaodie displayed an admiring expression. "Empress, you truly have a foresight! He has actually come!"

"On the third day I thought he would persist for a few more days, but it seems that Su Zhan is even more impatient than I imagined!" The Empress smiled faintly. "Bring him in!"

"Yes, Empress!"

Xiaodie respectfully left and soon returned with Su Zhan.

"Su Zhan, I am already aware of the purpose of your visit." The Empress looked at Su Zhan and smiled.

"You are already aware, Empress?" Su Zhan hesitated. "Is it true, Empress, that you can read minds?"

"I cannot read minds, but I know that the matter you have come to discuss with me is related to the Limitless Stellar Body."

"Well that is true," Su Zhan thought for a moment. He couldn't deny the connection between his visit and his recent progress with the Limitless Stellar Body.

"Take it," the Empress said as she handed a jade scroll to Su Zhan. "This is what you currently need. You won't be able to understand what comes after for now."

"This is" Su Zhan curiously took the jade scroll and infused it with his true qi. As he looked at the small characters on the screen of light, he was surprised. "Who wrote this? It's so trashy!"

Hearing the first sentence, the Empress was about to interject, but with Su Zhan's following words, she furrowed her brow and changed her tone, "Why do you say that?"

"According to the cultivation method written here, it would take about half a month to reach the introductory stage."

"For you, it may take half a month, but for the person who wrote it, it took three months," the Empress explained. "But compared to others, the time required is already quite short!"

"But here's the question," Su Zhan looked puzzled. "I can practice for three days and reach the entry level, so why should I follow the instructions on this scroll and spend half a month to reach the same stage by practicing only at specific times each day?"

"You can reach the entry level in three days, really?" The Empress appeared skeptical.

"I have already reached the entry stage." Su Zhan activated the Limitless Stellar Body, and the starlight emerged.

The Empress was stunned. If she remembered correctly, even their ancestor with the Point Star Saint Body, who had exceptionally high comprehension, took three months to reach the entry level. How could Su Zhan achieve it in just three days?

This was beyond belief.

Staring at Su Zhan, his body covered in starlight, the Empress couldn't help but recall how she had been waiting for him to come and seek guidance from her A bitter smile appeared on the her face. Who could possibly guide such a freak?

"Empress, thank you for the cultivation method. Now that I have reached the entry level, I will take my leave," Su Zhan said, retracting the starlight and bowing.

"Wait!" The Empress snapped out of her thoughts.

Su Zhan looked puzzled and asked, "Empress, is there something else?"

"Do you really look down on our Yiyi?" the Empress asked.

"It's not that I look down on her, but I feel"

"Alright, don't give me those random excuses anymore!"

The Empress took a step forward, gritted her teeth, and her lips met Su Zhan's: "What do you think of me?"

"Huh?" Su Zhan was instantly dumbfounded.

Wasn't the discussion about the marriage with Hua Yiyi? The Empress herself make a move?

But to be honest. The Empress was truly unparalleled in beauty.

Looking at the stunning woman right in front of him, Su Zhan steeled his mental fortitude by activating composure halo. If he didn't he might not be able to withstand it. And do something foolish.

"Empress, you"

"I was just joking, don't take it seriously! Haha!"

Seeing Su Zhan's clear gaze and understanding his thoughts, the Empress took a step back and reverted to using "I" instead of "we," laughing.

However, the faint trace of disappointment in her heart couldn't be hidden. It was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

"That's good then." Su Zhan also smiled.

Because of the Empress's attitude towards him during these days, he had developed a slight fondness for her. But this fondness was far from liking or love. He didn't want the first woman he shared a bed with to be someone he only had a slight fondness foran unfamiliar person. Even though this unfamiliar person was peerlessly beautiful and the Empress of a nation!

"Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave. If the Empress ever needs help in the future, I will honor my promise."

"Alright, do you need someone to accompany you? Ahem" The Empress said this and couldn't help but laugh: "Forget it, otherwise, with your abilities, you might end up being the one escorting me"

"Goodbye!"

Su Zhan smiled faintly, turned around, and stepped into the air.

"Empress, what just happened?"

"No need to mention it again." The Empress shook her head and looked at the figure in the sky.

I am also human. It's normal to have feelings.

But it seems it was just my own wishful thinking.

I wonder if our next meeting will be more interesting?

The Empress thought about these things and smiled.

At the border of Xia Kingdom.

Within the Transverse Mountains, nestled in a tranquil clearing amidst a lush forest.

Dozens of people were scattered, standing or sitting. All of them were powerful cultivators in the Origin Elixir Realm!

"Will the Sect Master of the Sword Sect ever come?"

"Yeah! We've been waiting here for him for a whole day!"

"Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect and my Treasure Mountain Sect don't have any deep enmity. It's just a small grudge. If the Sect Master of Sword Sect doesn't show up soon, I won't bother waiting!"

The Origin Elixir Realm cultivators were all impatiently complaining.

Just then, a middle-aged man descended from the sky above.

He landed in front of the dozens of Origin Elixir Realm cultivators and glanced at them before speaking, "Apologies for keeping you all waiting. Although I, Yun Hengtian, arrived a bit later, I have obtained a very important piece of information!"

"Oh?"

"Please, tell us, Sect Master Yun!"

The gazes of the Origin Elixir Realm cultivators turned towards Yun Hengtian.

Yun Hengtian smiled lightly, "A few days ago, there was a disturbance in the imperial palace of the Flower Moon Kingdom. The spiritual energy within several tens of miles gathered, attracting the attention of many. One of my spies happened to witness this scene and conducted an investigation. The result revealed that the anomaly was caused by Su Zhan of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect!"

"Su Zhan, this person, possesses extraordinary talent. He surpassed the younger generations of our four major forces in the Dark Star Forest. Moreover, the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect has grievances with us. If we allow him to grow, it will be difficult for our four major forces!"

"Therefore, compared to Qin Jincheng, Chen Changfeng, and the others, Su Zhan should be the one to die!"

"That being said, Sect Master Yun, are we going to attack the imperial palace of the Flower Moon Kingdom?"

Yun Hengtian glanced at the person who spoke and sneered, "How is that possible! Even if we join forces, we wouldn't be able to conquer the palace's grand formation anytime soon. By then, the strong individuals from all over the Flower Moon Kingdom will gather, and we will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses!"

One of the Origin Elixir cultivators furrowed his brow, "So, Sect Master Yun, what do you suggest?"

"We can't attack the imperial palace of the Flower Moon Kingdom, but will Su Zhan stay there forever?"

Yun Hengtian said, "Based on my understanding, Su Zhan expressed his intention to bid farewell to the Empress a few days ago. It's estimated that he will leave the imperial palace of the Flower Moon Kingdom soon!"

"We will continue to attack the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect as usual. At the same time, we only need to send people to guard the straight path from the Flower Moon Kingdom to the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect and set up a formation. We can lie in wait for him!"

Upon hearing this, the Origin Elixir Realm cultivators nodded in agreement, smiling.

One of the Origin Elixir cultivators said, "However, Sect Master Yun, Su Zhan is different from others. If we only send one late-stage Origin Elixir Realm cultivator, he might escape!"

"Just one?" Yun Hengtian coldly smiled.

"I, Yun Hengtian, intend to send three!"
