Chapter 124: The Moment of Awakening
The sky was dimly lit.
Deep within the Imperial Palace.
The Empress, who had a serious expression on her face, suddenly displayed a somewhat unnatural look.
She had just synchronized the memories of her Mortal Alter Ego.
The [Empyreal Qi Synthesis: Trinity of Pristine States] technique was meant to create three Alter Ego that would synchronously share the memories and experience they have with the main Alter Ego, which are the Imperial Alter Ego, the Empress.
Unlike other cloning techniques, in the case of the [Empyreal Qi Synthesis: Trinity of Pristine States], all of her other Alter Ego were not clones, but are a 'What if' version of her that are summoned into this world, for example, her Taoist Alter Ego is a 'What if she were to continue to train in the Taoist Sect', while her Imperial Alter Ego is the 'What if she focused herself into becoming the Immortal Nation Empress', because of that, all of them are true equal, but due to being the same person, she need to maintain all of her 3 Alter Ego at the same time with a single mind, she also need to able to differentiate the unique characteristics of each Alter Ego. Otherwise, it was easy to lose control and fall into demonic possession.
That was why, even within the Taoist Sect, only she, with her Supreme Dao Body, could cultivate the technique to perfection.
The reason for that is because the mental disabilities for having to navigate 3 bodies with a single mind is being handled by her Supreme Dao Body, allowing her to be able to handle 3 different sets of memories without any chaos.
However, just now, memories from her Mortal Alter Ego had actively synchronized with the memories of her other Alter Ego.
Initially, when she saw the memories where the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect seemed to know her deepest secret, there was a hint of nervousness on the Empress's face. However, as she continued watching, her expression became increasingly odd.
When she saw her Mortal Alter Ego almost getting ravaged by the Demon Sect Holy Saint in the dream, she couldn't hold it in any longer.
Even though she was a ruler of a nation, she had never encountered such a situation!
Fortunately, because she had spent a good amount of time wandering through the night market with the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, the Synthesized Dream Convergence Technique had finally been released at a critical moment.
But there was still one problem.
After the Synthesized Dream Convergence Technique was released, the target wouldn't immediately wake up; they would remain within the dream.
If that Holy Saint of the Demon Sect was still awake within the dream and could continue manipulating it, could her body inside the dream already be filled to the brim with his 'essence'?
'No— let's not think too deeply about this. Based on my interactions with him in the dream, he seems to be a gentleman for now. Besides, even if he really does ravage the me in the dream, he doesn't know how my Mortal Alter Ego looks, so the me that he does it with is probably looks like his Junior Sister'
"Your Majesty?"
At this moment, the voice of Wutong, a Golden-Ranked member of the Six Gate Bureau, snapped the momentarily distracted Empress back to reality.
The Empress immediately shifted her thoughts away from the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect and looked towards the people standing in front of her.
They were all Nascent Soul cultivators who had participated in last night's battle against the Nethrkin Nation soldiers and went to the Ascending Immortality Lake.
Although Wutong wasn't the highest in cultivation among them, as one of the trusted members of the Six Gate Bureau under the direct control of the Empress, she was the first to sense that something was amiss with her liege.
Under the gazes of everyone, the Empress gently shook her head:
"... Proceed with the results obtained from last night's dealings with the Netherkin Nation soldiers."
Upon hearing the Empress' words, the Nascent Soul cultivators visibly stiffened, each one responding, "We shall obey Your Majesty's command!"
One by one, the Nascent Soul cultivators left after bidding their farewells, disappearing with instantaneous movement. As the hall was left with only herself, the Empress sighed softly.
The events of last night were ultimately just the beginning of something larger.
"The Immortal Nation is about to descend into chaos again..."
But at least now, those courtiers who had been incessantly urging her to find a consort should have other matters to worry about.
She lifted her hand slightly, as if she intended to remove the imperial crown from her head.
However, as she looked at the jade-white wrist that had slightly revealed itself from within her sleeve, and saw it bare without any adornments, she inexplicably became lost in thought.
For a long time, she lowered her hand.
'Perhaps what Wutong said earlier had some truth...'
...
Luo Wusheng woke up with a gasp.
Large drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and after sensing the state of his real body, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After Miss Kirin's Synthesized Dream Convergence Technique ended, his dream didn't come to an immediate end.
The dream blurred and then re-solidified.
However, this time, there was no longer anyone controlling the dream.
And so, when he tugged the specific corned of the bride gown, the faces that appeared on the girl are those of Little Yuli.
Not the one that she used to disguise herself, but her original breathtaking beauty.
Then, he saw the scene of Little Yuli pulling out a sword out of nowhere and swinging it to his lower body part.
Swoosh—
The beautiful dream suddenly turned into a nightmare!
After fully awake, Luo Wusheng wiped away the cold sweat with his hand and sat up from the bed.
"Huh?"
He touched the thin blanket on his body and raised an eyebrow.
Well, judging from the aura, it shouldn't be his Junior Sister and Little Yuli visiting his room in the middle of the night.
After a brief moment of thought, he quickly realized.
'I didn't expect the little fox to actually take care of the people she was close to...'
In the original story, the Netherqueen never revealed this side of her.
Hmm... maybe this side will only show up after Little Yuli's pursued her route?
So, doesn't that mean he's enjoying the treatment that would be given to the protagonist ahead of time?
Luo Wusheng was a bit pleasantly surprised, but then he thought that he had helped her so much, and how they are already quite familiar with each other, this level of care is quite normal right?
His spiritual awareness entered the small delicate storage pouch given to him by Yue Xuanji.
The little pink fox had fallen asleep again, but this time, she wasn't sleeping on the Guqin. Instead, she was half-leaning against one corner of the ancient Guqin that she often used when she played music for him in the Red Blossom Pavilion, with her small head resting beside the Star-Moon Jade.
A smile appeared on Luo Wusheng's face, as if the negative emotions brought by the nightmare had been completely healed.
Withdrawing his spiritual awareness, he looked out the window.
The sun was already quite high, it wasn't early anymore.
'How annoying, it's one thing to have problems crop up while I'm wide awake, but to think that problem would still come to find me in my own dream….'
"Huh?"
Just as Luo Wusheng lifted the covers, he sensed something amiss.
It seemed like there was something extra inside his body.
No, not just seemed, there was indeed something coalescing in his dantian!
He quickly sat cross-legged and inspected his dantian with his spiritual awareness.
He saw a faint starlight emerging around the slowly rotating perfect Golden Core in his dantian.
That starlight was revolving around his Golden Core.
With each rotation, an indiscernible force seemed to wrap around the starlight within him, making it more solid with each turn.
In the end, it seemed like all that mysterious energy was absorbed by the starlight, which solidified in an instant, turning into a small seed revolving around his Golden Core.
Luo Wusheng was stunned.
At that moment, he finally remembered what those mysterious energies were.
They were the human race's luck, sealed beneath the Ascending Immortality Lake alongside the Netherqueen.
When the sealing formation was lifted back then, these seemingly lost lucks found their way into his body.
However, he didn't have a method to refine this luck, and even though it was within him, he couldn't sense it. Eventually, it would dissipate back into the heavens and earth.
But now, with the help of that speck of starlight, these lucks had completely solidified in his dantian, becoming that small seed.
What was that starlight?
Luo Wusheng quickly understood.
Looking at the faint dragon patterns emerging on the seed, he seemed to realize something.
'It's the Dragon Fortune...'
