Chapter 242: There are not many left who can hold fast to their original heart like this Emperor!

Although the Spirit Emperor before them was merely a body manifested from a King Realm weapon, it looked little different from a real person.

It was even more realistic and lively than the Spirit Puppet transformed from Li Xuanfeng's Spirit Puppet Battle Disk.

"You are… the Spirit Emperor?!"

When her true face was revealed, the beautiful eyes of Ming Yueqing and Ming Yuesnow both lit up.

Previously, the Spirit Emperor had only transmitted her identity to Li Xuanfeng alone; the others did not know.

As a peerless Prodigy with a seniority higher than their father, the two had heard many legendary tales about her.

The Spirit Emperor not only possessed extremely high cultivation talent, but her talent in Artifact Refining was indisputably the best in the Eastern Wasteland.

Her technique of controlling artifacts with spiritual power was masterful and peerless in the current generation.

Aside from the peerless woman who had once saved their lives, the Spirit Emperor was the female Cultivator they admired the most.

"Eldest Young Miss Ming, Second Young Miss!"

The Spirit Emperor smiled at them.

Although Ming Yueqing and Ming Yuesnow's Realm was very low in her eyes, their cultivation talent was not lacking at all, and their talent in Formation was famous far and wide, just like her own talent in the Dao of Artifact Refining.

She believed that their future achievements in the Dao of Formation would be no less than her own achievements in the Dao of Artifact Refining.

The Spirit Emperor was certainly no stranger to such Prodigies.

"I have deeply benefited from Fellow Daoist's kindness, yet I have not asked for your title and name!"

The Spirit Emperor cupped her hands towards Li Xuanfeng.

In truth, given her status, a Peak King Realm Cultivator was not qualified to address her as Fellow Daoist, but the Spirit Emperor did not care much about such details.

Li Xuanfeng was strong enough to rival the Emperor Realm; he was different from other King Realm Cultivators, so there was nothing improper about calling him Fellow Daoist.

"Peerless King, Li Xuanfeng."

Li Xuanfeng returned the salute simply.

"System, bind her!"

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Xuanfeng called out to the System in his mind.

[Ding! Although the spirit-controlled body can be bound, the binding will become void once the mark disappears. Do you wish to continue with the binding?]

The System prompt sounded.

"Bind!"

Li Xuanfeng said.

[Ding! Binding successful (temporary)!]

After the System prompt sounded, the basic attribute panel of the Spirit Emperor's spirit-controlled body appeared before his eyes.

[Name]: Xin Ruyu

[Destiny]: Peerless Artifact Grandmaster

[Realm]: Peak Emperor Realm (Soul Mark)

[Physique]: None for now

"Her real name is Xin Ruyu? Indeed, a beauty like jade; I wonder if her true body looks even better."

"Tsk, Peak Emperor Realm!"

"This Realm, just one step away from a Breakthrough, is quite good. After binding, she might break through at any time. It seems I must see her true body as soon as possible."

Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.

The Destiny of Peerless Artifact Grandmaster proved that Xin Ruyu would eventually become a peerless Grandmaster in the Dao of Artifact Refining.

As for the Physique showing as none for now, it was not that she lacked a special Physique, but rather that the person before him was not her true body. To be precise, the person before him was actually just a peak tier King Realm weapon imbued with a portion of Xin Ruyu's Soul.

"Peerless King?"

Upon hearing Li Xuanfeng's title, Xin Ruyu was clearly stunned. This title was not something just anyone could bear.

However, given the strength he had just displayed, this title was well-deserved.

"Many thanks to the Peerless King for your help; I owe you a favor!"

Xin Ruyu cupped her hands again.

Subsequently, she opened her palm, and a token slowly condensed.

"This item represents my promise. You can use it to enjoy VIP treatment in any force under the Myriad Artifact Sect. At the same time, during the Artifact Refining Grand Competition, you can use this token to bring your Dao Companion to sit in the VIP seats!"

As Xin Ruyu spoke, the token floated in front of Li Xuanfeng.

Li Xuanfeng did not refuse and accepted it.

He had previously obtained two similar tokens: one gifted by the Ming family, and the second from Cold Ice Valley.

However, his strength increased too quickly, so he basically had no use for these tokens; most of the time, they were just a symbol of status.

Seeing Li Xuanfeng accept the token, a hint of a smile appeared on Xin Ruyu's face.

"The Artifact Refining Grand Competition will begin in ten days. This year, I will personally preside over it. If the Peerless King is interested, you may come to observe the grand ceremony!"

Xin Ruyu took the initiative to extend an invitation.

"Since the Spirit Emperor has invited me, I will definitely go."

Li Xuanfeng smiled.

Since Xin Ruyu was personally presiding over it, that meant he would be able to see her true body, so Li Xuanfeng was naturally happy to go.

This was a new experience baby.

And she was at the Peak Emperor Realm, much stronger than his Master Lian Yuezhou's secondary body.

"I still have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"

Xin Ruyu swept a glance at Ming Yueqing and the other two without leaving a trace, then bid farewell and left.

The so-called important matters were just an excuse; it was obvious that Li Xuanfeng had a close relationship with these three women, and she did not want to stay here and spoil their mood.

"This person's strength has already surpassed the Blood Devil King; this talent can be called unprecedented and unrepeatable. The only bad thing is that he has too many women."

"Looking at the infatuated expressions of the two Young Misses of the Ming family and the god shedding realm female Cultivator, they are already deeply captivated by him. I really don't know what is so good about romance; it's not as intoxicating as the Dao of Artifact Refining."

"Romance only hinders the Dao; there are not many left who can hold fast to their original heart like this Emperor!"

After bidding farewell, the Spirit Emperor left, unable to help but think in her heart.

Whether it was that female Cultivator in the god shedding realm or the Ming sisters, in the Spirit Emperor's eyes, they were rare beauties.

She was clear about the Ming sisters' cultivation talent, and she could sense that the god shedding realm female Cultivator also seemed to possess a powerful Physique, but her Realm Aura was slightly floating—this was caused by not prioritizing cultivation.

In her view, Cultivators should focus their minds on cultivation; increasing strength was the most important thing.

Dao Companions and the like could not bring any substantial help, and were completely unnecessary.

But the eyes of the three of them were clearly infatuated with Li Xuanfeng, which made the Spirit Emperor feel it was a pity.

And she also felt puzzled.

Li Xuanfeng was indeed an exceptionally monstrous Prodigy.

But was he really that attractive?

To be able to make three peerless Prodigies look at him with such infatuation and admiration?

"Unless one day I meet someone whose talent in Artifact Refining can rival this Emperor, otherwise, it is truly impossible to pique this Emperor's interest."

The Spirit Emperor thought silently.

Hum!

A shocking fluctuation faintly came from behind.

The Spirit Emperor couldn't help but look back and saw a huge, incomparable chaos sword Domain descending from thin air; the Domain left behind by the Demon King was being rapidly devoured and refined by the Chaos mist.

The Domain was forcibly reverse-refined and returned to its source, turning into a part of the chaos sword Domain.

"How is this possible?!"

The Spirit Emperor was stunned.

Standing in the pitch-black Void Realm, she gazed at that shocking scene from afar.

"370,000 li?"

"How can it be so big?"

"How can his Domain be this big?!"

"He is clearly only at the Peak King Realm!"

The Spirit Emperor's mind was greatly shaken; due to the excessive shock, even her true body, which was currently Artifact Refining, was affected to some extent.

"360,000 li is the limit of the King Realm. I don't know how many King Realm Cultivators have exhausted everything and still could not step into that step."

"He didn't just reach the limit; he surpassed it. How can it be possible for someone to not be restricted by the Heavenly Dao?"

"Moreover, how can his Domain devour and refine other Domains?"

The Spirit Emperor could not figure it out, nor could she understand.

Although she was shocked by the powerful strength Li Xuanfeng had displayed earlier, she could at least silently persuade herself to accept it in her heart.

However, witnessing this scene now, no matter how she tried to find a reason, she could not accept it—or rather, she could not believe it! She could not understand it!

She gazed from afar at that figure, who was like a Chaos god or demon, possessing an invincible Aura, supreme in heaven and earth, as if he were the Dominator of the birth and extinction of all things. She seemed to understand why Ming Yueqing and the other two had such looks of worship and infatuation in their eyes when looking at him.
