Chapter 137: A Great Chance
The female ghost fell to the ground and there was a big hole in her chest. A strange white fog was swirling inside.
However, she did not show any signs of pain. Instead, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as she stared straight at Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu felt a chill down his spine and wanted to stab her again.
However, the female ghost's body suddenly started to shrink and condense into a ball of white light. Finally, the ball of white light condensed into a white egg the size of a head.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Mu was puzzled.
At the same time, the cave started to shake violently. The magma underground seemed to have gone out of control and started to churn violently.
Zhao Mu looked up and saw that the black fog that was blocking the passage of the ancient well had thinned out. He didn't have time to think too much. He put the white egg into his storage ring and quickly left the cave.
In the main hall of the Thunder Rolls Temple.
Zhao Mu jumped out of the ancient well. The moment his feet touched the ground, his heart finally calmed down.
All the girls were nearby and there was a corpse on the ground. It was Master Evil Spirit.
Zhao Mu took a look and frowned.
Master Evil Spirit's physical body was already dead, but his body was still emitting a strong evil spirit. His body was almost cut in half and his internal organs were clearly visible. They had been tainted black by the evil spirit.
Zhao Mu looked at Jangdou and bowed. "Disciple Zhao Mu pays his respects to the Empress of Green Clouds."
Jangdou stood with her hands behind her back. Her youthful face looked like an old man as she nodded slightly.
However, in the next second, she suddenly attacked. Her spiritual power turned into a big net and threw Zhao Mu to a stone pillar at the side of the main hall, locking him firmly.
Zhao Mu said in disbelief, "Empress, what do you mean by this?"
"I'm not targeting you. However, with your strength, it will be difficult for you to escape unscathed from the Evil Spirit. I have reason to suspect that you have been possessed by the Evil Spirit. I will seal you temporarily. After I find out that you don't have the power of the Evil Spirit, I will return you your freedom."
Eh, this Jangdou was quite cautious.
However, Zhao Mu thought about it carefully and felt that her worries were not unreasonable.
With Master Evil Annihilator as an example, it was necessary to be more careful.
Zhao Mu calmed himself down and did not dare to hide anything. He recounted everything that had happened in the underground cave, including the white egg.
That white egg could really be the incarnation of the Evil God. Zhao Mu had taken it away without much thought. Now that he thought about it, it was a little rash.
"Heretical God Egg?"
Empress Qing Yun seemed to have thought of something as she immediately asked Zhao Mu to take out the white egg.
Zhao Mu regained some mobility and immediately took out the white egg from her storage ring and handed it over to Empress Qing Yun.
The empress didn't touch the white egg directly. Instead, she sealed it with her spiritual power and examined it carefully.
"Interesting, very interesting."
Empress Qing Yun waved her hand and returned the white egg to Zhao Mu.
"The Evil God has been reborn. Even I am envious of your luck."
Zhao Mu was confused. "Empress, what do you mean?"
The Qing Yun Empress explained, "The so-called Evil Gods are not evil spirits or demons that crawled out from hell. They are alien races from the ancient era. They came from different worlds and there are good and evil among them. Some people hate them and see them as evil gods, plagues, and the source of calamities. But there are also people who yearn for their power and see them as gods and immortals. They would establish sects for them and gather faith in exchange for power."
"Most of the Evil Gods have an immortal body. Even if they die, they can condense their spirit into its original form and obtain new life. It is like the rebirth of a phoenix."
"The reborn Evil God will often choose a master to sign a blood contract with in order to ensure its safety when it is still young and weak. With the master's protection, it will grow smoothly and provide great help to the master when it reaches adulthood."
"The Evil God that was sealed under the Thunder Roll Temple should have exhausted its power and lifespan after years of suppression. In order to obtain new life, it chose you as its master."
"This is a great opportunity. If you can guard this opportunity and wait for the evil spirit to grow, you might be able to borrow her power to become a peerless expert."
"However, this is also a crisis. Once the news is leaked, countless experts will come knocking on your door. If you insist on guarding this opportunity, you will have to face the danger that it brings."
After hearing the Empress Qing Yun's words, Zhao Mu was shocked.
'What's up with this evil spirit? Why did she suddenly recognize me as her master?'
'Did I agree?'
'But it sounds like this is a deal with both benefits and risks.'
Zhao Mu couldn't help but recall the female ghost smiling at him before she turned into a white egg.
At that time, Zhao Mu only found it strange. But now, looking at it again, there seemed to be a hint of anticipation hidden in that smile.
'Forget it.'
'This is an opportunity that comes knocking on my door. No matter where I come from, there's no reason for me to let it go.'
'It's not scary if there's a risk. The greater the risk, the greater the reward.'
'I'm definitely going to take this opportunity.'
"Let's leave first. There are still some evil spirits nearby. After clearing them, Thunder Monastery should be able to return to normal."
The Empress Qing Yun said and led the girls out of the main hall.
Zhao Mu panicked.
"Empress, let me down."
"For safety's sake, you should stay here for two days."
After saying that, the main hall's door was slammed shut. She even raised a barrier, trapping Zhao Mu in the main hall.
Zhao Mu was speechless.
'Alright, I'm tired anyway. I'll take it as a two-day break.'
Zhao Mu opened the golden alms bowl left behind by the evil spirit master and began to count the rewards of this trip.
Two days later.
The main hall's door opened again. Zhao Mu saw the long-awaited sunlight.
Stepping on the golden morning light, Jelly Bean walked into the hall. She looked up at Zhao Mu and nodded slightly.
"Not bad. It seems like you haven't been corroded by the evil spirit."
In the next second, Zhao Mu landed on the ground steadily.
After regaining his freedom, Zhao Mu immediately stretched his body and asked, "Empress, are we going to kill our way back to the Devil Sect and regain power?"
"We definitely have to go back, but not now."
Empress Qing Yun clasped her hands behind her back, her eyes filled with melancholy. "My physical body is still in the Saint Yuan Palace. Although there is the protection of the Saint Yuan Grand Array left behind by my father and Kong Miaoyin won't be able to break through it in a short period of time, at the same time, even if I return to the Devil Sect now, I won't be able to immediately retrieve my physical body and I won't be able to display my peak strength."
"Furthermore, even if I were to retrieve my body and return to my peak state, I would not have absolute certainty in being able to defeat Kong Miaoyin."
Zhao Mu was slightly shocked. "Empress, weren't you injured because of a sneak attack? If you were to fight head-on, Kong Miaoyin wouldn't be your opponent!"
"You underestimate Kong Miaoyin. Although she is only at the Voiding Realm now, her peak combat capability is not weaker than a cultivator in the Tribulation Plane. After all, her soul is too special. She can control the Heavenly Vein Spiritual Qi, which is more powerful than the Spiritual Qi of the Earthveins. With this power, she can directly stand shoulder to shoulder with a Celestial Being."
Zhao Mu's expression changed.
Speaking of which, after the Crossing Calamity Realm, there was still the Celestial Realm. Regarding this Celestial Realm, Zhao Mu had no concept at all.
He immediately asked Empress Qing Yun for guidance.
