Chapter 953: Benefits No Less Than the Kunlun Mirror

Qin Changqing, however, shook his head: "He did not fail. Not long ago, he successfully condensed a complete Golden Body of Karma and ascended to the Celestial Venerable status. It's just that, for some reason, his Dao Fruit shattered, and he has now become my prisoner!"

"What?"

The Queen Mother of the West and the Fairies of the Jade Pool all revealed shocked expressions.

Originally, they thought the Celestial Emperor had failed in his ascension to the Celestial Venerable status, which allowed others to seize the opportunity.

But now, this person was saying the Celestial Emperor had succeeded, yet was still cast down from his divine pedestal and even became the other's prisoner!

Even though the Celestial Emperor had just recently ascended, he was still a Celestial Venerable!

Possessing a complete Golden Body of Karma, controlling at least a hundred strands of Heavenly Dao power, and holding the Origin of the Celestial Court in his hands, yet he still failed!

Just what Origin does this person have?

With a cultivation level clearly below that of a Divine Venerable, how could he possibly defeat a Celestial Venerable!

Qin Changqing saw the doubt on the faces of the Queen Mother and others and chuckled: "Although my cultivation level is not high, thanks to the care of the two Celestial Venerables, Nuwa and Bodhi, I was able to capture the Celestial Emperor!"

These words shocked everyone present.

What!

Nuwa!

Bodhi!

These were two powerful Celestial Venerables from ancient times! They existed in the same era as the Three Pure Ones!

They would actually be willing to serve this youth?

Moreover, they helped him ascend to the position of Celestial Emperor and even gave him the Origin of the Celestial Court!

"Fellow Daoist, surely you must be joking?"

The Queen Mother frowned, clearly somewhat disbelieving.

Not just her, but the Fairies of the Jade Pool behind her also found it hard to believe.

How could beings like Nuwa and Bodhi possibly serve someone whose cultivation hasn't even reached the Divine Venerable Realm? This was simply a fantasy!

Qin Changqing didn't want to explain too much to them either. He shook his head and said: "It's a long story. I'll explain it to you another time when there's a chance. Now that the Celestial Emperor has been defeated, the Celestial Court has changed hands. I bear you no ill will. You may leave!"

Hearing this, many of the Fairies of the Jade Pool immediately showed excitement.

To be honest, they had been hiding here for who knows how many years and were long tired of it. Hearing they could leave, of course they were overjoyed.

Even the Queen Mother showed a flicker of emotion, but it quickly vanished. She shook her head and said: "We have grown accustomed to staying here and do not wish to leave. Fellow Daoist, please return."

She clearly still did not quite trust Qin Changqing.

She even suspected that this person might have been sent by the Celestial Emperor to trick her into leaving this place.

Qin Changqing, however, frowned.

This woman was being rather ungrateful.

He was kindly offering to take them out, and she didn't appreciate it?

"Since that's the case, I won't force you!"

Qin Changqing's expression gradually cooled. He stretched out his hand and said: "As long as you are willing to hand over the final fragment of the Kunlun Mirror, I will leave immediately without further entanglement! If you wish to stay here, I will ensure no one disturbs you!"

Although he had some thoughts about the Queen Mother and the others, he did not like to force people.

His original purpose in coming was for the fragment of the Kunlun Mirror; that was the most important thing.

"Fragment of the Kunlun Mirror!"

The Queen Mother's pupils contracted, and she involuntarily took a step back. Only then did she remember that this person seemed to possess fragments of the Kunlun Mirror as well; otherwise, he wouldn't have so easily broken through the Spacetime Barrier here: "Fellow Daoist, you should leave. I will not give you the fragment of the Kunlun Mirror!"

This was her final means of self-preservation, her greatest reliance that allowed her to hold out here until now. If she gave it to someone else, staying here or not would make no difference.

Qin Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly. "Oh?" he said. "I'm afraid that's not for you to decide. I am determined to obtain this Kunlun Mirror!"

The Queen Mother's demeanor also turned cold. She flipped her right hand, and a dazzling divine light shone in her palm: "With your cultivation level, you dare to threaten me?"

The current Celestial Emperor and the former Queen Mother now slowly rose into the air, divine radiance of various kinds shooting from their bodies. A great battle was imminent.

However, at that very moment, two figures suddenly streaked through the sky from the distance, instantly placing themselves between the two.

It was Nuwa and Bodhi!

"Your Majesty, we finally found you!"

Seeing Qin Changqing, Bodhi showed a relieved expression.

Qin Changqing was not surprised. He knew that if he descended, Nuwa and Bodhi would definitely not stand idly by, though they had found him a bit slower than expected.

It seemed that even an incomplete fragment of the Kunlun Mirror could affect a Celestial Venerable with the Divine Abilities it could unleash.

Then what about a complete Kunlun Mirror?

Thinking of this, Qin Changqing's heart burned even hotter.

He was determined to obtain this Kunlun Mirror.

"Two Celestial Venerables, the Queen Mother holds the final fragment of the Kunlun Mirror. Could you help me retrieve it?"

Qin Changqing pointed at the Queen Mother and said calmly.

The Queen Mother and the Fairies of the Jade Pool were now wide-eyed.

It really was Nuwa and Bodhi?

Although the Queen Mother held the final fragment of the Kunlun Mirror, due to the fragment's incompleteness and her own insufficient strength, she could not perfectly control a Magic Treasure of this level. Therefore, she could not fully grasp all the conditions within this space.

She couldn't even control the fake Qin Changqing, fake Bodhi, and fake Nuwa that had spontaneously manifested here.

All the Queen Mother had done was use the Kunlun Mirror's power to block intruders who entered this place, nothing more.

"Queen Mother, the Celestial Court has now changed hands. This is the new Celestial Emperor. Holding onto this fragment of the Kunlun Mirror is of no use to you. You should hand it over to His Majesty!"

Bodhi Celestial Venerable turned his head to look at the Queen Mother and said with a faint smile.

Nuwa also nodded: "That's right. Only a complete Kunlun Mirror can be called one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts. His Majesty now only lacks the final fragment. You should bring it out!"

The Queen Mother's heart tightened. She couldn't help but ask: "Why are you two Celestial Venerables so deferential to this person? He is merely a god. If I refuse to hand it over, are you two Celestial Venerables going to take action against me?"

Bodhi Celestial Venerable sighed: "Now, both Nuwa and I are members of the Celestial Court, acting according to His Majesty's decrees. If the Queen Mother is unwilling to hand over the Kunlun Mirror fragment, then we can only offend!"

These words caused everyone present to gasp, looking at Qin Changqing with eyes full of shock and uncertainty.

When this fellow earlier said he was the new Celestial Emperor, the crowd didn't quite believe it. Now they believed it, but were even more astonished!

Two ancient Celestial Venerables, powerful beings who existed at the dawn of the world, were now bowing their heads and willingly serving someone whose cultivation hadn't even reached the Divine Venerable Realm?

You must know, even the former Celestial Emperor never had such an honor, and wouldn't even dare to have such a thought.

Was this real?

"Queen Mother, this treasure is of great use to me. I also dislike forcing others. If you hand the final fragment over to me, I will bestow upon you a great benefit absolutely no less than this treasure!"

Qin Changqing looked at the Queen Mother, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

The Queen Mother was immediately taken aback.

A great benefit no less than the Kunlun Mirror?

What could that be?
