# Chapter 2414: Yu Huang's Question
"Swoosh!"
Blood Absolute War God swept his long sleeve, and a small yellow copper cauldron flew out, hovering in front of Zhang Ruochen.
The Six Directions Heavenly Venerable Cauldron.
Blood Absolute War God said, "This cauldron originally belonged to Stone Axe Lord Yu Sanjie, master of the Decayed Minister Sea. While Yu Sanjie was in seclusion cultivating, it was stolen by Blue Marrow True Lord."
"Blue Marrow True Lord wanted to use the Six Directions Heavenly Venerable Cauldron to cross the bottleneck of the Supreme Realm Great Saint, but feared that Yu Sanjie would investigate the matter after his seclusion ended. So, he hid inside the third Dark Star."
"Unfortunately, he didn't anticipate that the third Dark Star had given birth to a Dark Spirit, nor did he underestimate the danger of a Dark Star, and ultimately died inside."
Zhang Ruochen suddenly understood.
He had been wondering how Blue Marrow True Lord, a Great Saint at the peak of the Ten Thousand Deaths One Life Realm, could possibly possess a treasure like the Six Directions Heavenly Venerable Cauldron.
"A Great Saint actually dared to steal a god's treasure. This Blue Marrow True Lord was truly audacious." Zhang Ruochen said.
Blood Absolute War God said, "Blue Marrow True Lord's lifespan was running out, and relying on his own strength, he absolutely could not break through to the Supreme Realm. To break through the realm, to survive, he naturally dared to take the risk."
Zhang Ruochen wanted to learn more about gods, so he tentatively asked, "I've heard that gods are omnipotent and omniscient. Could Stone Axe Lord not detect anything when Blue Marrow True Lord stole the Six Directions Heavenly Venerable Cauldron? And didn't Stone Axe Lord leave behind a divine thought avatar to guard this cauldron? Or perhaps carry it on his person?"
Blood Absolute War God dared to directly call Stone Axe Lord by name because his status and strength allowed it, but Zhang Ruochen was not yet so arrogant.
Blood Absolute War God said, "Gods are not as omnipotent as you imagine, nor are Great Saints as weak as you think. The reason gods know many things is because they possess countless divine thoughts."
"If it's just a single divine thought, even an Immortal Realm Great Saint can extinguish it. Just like one of your spiritual power thoughts, a Saint King can easily destroy it."
"Secondly, a god's deduction ability is also limited. The higher the cultivation of the person being deduced, the harder it is to deduce."
"To deduce a Great Saint is not an easy task even for a god. Unless there is a special relationship between the two, such as blood relation, master-disciple relation, etc., then deduction becomes much easier."
"So, unless Yu Sanjie split off a large number of divine thoughts to condense a powerful avatar, only then could he suppress Blue Marrow True Lord."
"Additionally, the Six Directions Heavenly Venerable Cauldron does not belong to the Heavenly Court or Hell, but is a vessel from the border wilderness starry sky. Its artifact spirit is powerful, but has been sleeping all along. Yu Sanjie hasn't subdued it either, so there is a huge variable. How could Yu Sanjie dare to carry it on his person while in closed-door seclusion?"
Zhang Ruochen carried many secrets. After coming to the Hell Realm, he had been cautious and careful, walking on thin ice. The most fundamental reason was his insufficient understanding of the power of gods, not knowing whether his secrets would be detected by them.
After hearing Blood Absolute War God's words, Zhang Ruochen realized that with his current cultivation, he didn't seem to need to fear gods too much.
Unless a god personally made a move.
Zhang Ruochen said, "Has the War God seen Stone Axe Lord?"
Blood Absolute War God snorted lightly: "When the Six Directions Heavenly Venerable Cauldron appeared, how could Yu Sanjie not know? But in this world, no one can take something from my, Blood Absolute War God's, hands. You obtained the Six Directions Heavenly Venerable Cauldron from inside the third Dark Star, so naturally it won't be returned to him."
Zhang Ruochen only silently imagined, and in his mind, he could outline the scene of Blood Absolute War God and Stone Axe Lord confronting each other.
Unfortunately this time, reason was on Blood Absolute War God's side, and Stone Axe Lord was destined to be unable to reclaim the treasure.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen's heart stirred, and he said, "The War God said that the artifact spirit of the Six Directions Heavenly Venerable Cauldron is powerful and has been sleeping all along?"
Being called powerful by Blood Absolute War God was definitely no simple matter.
Blood Absolute War God nodded, saying, "This cauldron harbors huge variables and potential dangers. You can't suppress it, so I can't give it to you yet. I plan to temporarily entrust it to your mother, for her to safeguard. Do you have any objections?"
"No objections." Zhang Ruochen said.
Blood Absolute War God said, "The Emperor-grade Sacred Pill inside the cauldron was refined by Blue Marrow True Lord using materials collected over countless years, prepared to assault the Supreme Realm. Unfortunately, his alchemy skill was somewhat lacking, and he almost failed to refine it successfully. In the end, it was the Dark Yuan Spirit that refined him into the pill, transforming him into the pill spirit, and only then was the refinement successful."
"When your cultivation reaches the peak of the Ten Thousand Deaths One Life Realm, you can go to your mother to request it. Swallowing this pill will greatly help you assault the Supreme Realm."
The Six Directions Heavenly Venerable Cauldron was put away by Blood Absolute War God. Next, they talked about Blood Shadow God Mother and White Pale Blood Soil.
It was said that the true body divine tree of Blood Shadow God Mother had been taken by Xue Zhi Ancient God from Fu Lu God Venerable.
Blood Absolute War God said, "White Pale Blood Soil is very mysterious, known as the number one sacred object of the Undying Blood Clan. Many gods have never seen it. That you can refine and absorb White Pale Blood Soil is still a secret for now. But this secret won't be kept for long."
"What would happen if this secret were made public?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Blood Absolute War God's gaze was sharp, saying, "You would become a human-shaped divine medicine. Everyone would want to drink your blood, eat your flesh, and consume your bones. Of course, you don't need to worry too much. With your current background, not many dare to touch you."
Finally, Blood Absolute War God reminded Zhang Ruochen, saying, "Refining and absorbing White Pale Blood Soil has indeed made your physical body stronger, with super-strong self-healing ability. Even if your body splits into four parts, you can recover, nearly an undying body. But there is no absolute undying body in this world. Those who think themselves undying often die the fastest."
"White Pale Blood Soil still has infinite mysteries. You will experience them yourself later."
Zhang Ruochen pondered in his heart why Blood Absolute War God would say such a thing. Had he also refined and absorbed White Pale Blood Soil?
This question, Zhang Ruochen ultimately did not ask.
Blood Absolute War God also mentioned Yan Zhexian and Zangjin Baihu, separately instructing some things to Zhang Ruochen. After hearing them, Zhang Ruochen remained silent, only lightly nodding.
"One last thing... forget it, you may withdraw."
Blood Absolute War God seemed to want to say something but stopped, finally waving his hand to indicate Zhang Ruochen should withdraw.
Zhang Ruochen showed a strange expression, curious about what the last thing Blood Absolute War God wanted to say was.
You know, Blood Absolute War God was always decisive and domineering, rarely showing such an appearance.
"I take my leave."
After Zhang Ruochen withdrew, Blood Absolute War God shook his head and sighed, muttering to himself, "Mundane matters, let Qingsheng discuss them with him. For me to personally discuss this matter would be somewhat inappropriate."
Then, Blood Absolute War God opened his left hand, and in his palm lay a jade token.
On the surface of the jade token were carved two characters: Yu Huang.
"Yu Huang Realm opening at this time... somewhat subtle." Blood Absolute War God played with the jade token, his gaze growing deeper and deeper.
...
The news that Bore had become the new Divine Maiden was officially confirmed and quickly spread.
The specific details of the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen, fueled by those with ulterior motives, spread even more noisily.
Some claimed that both Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen possessed supreme treasures that allowed them to defeat Supreme Realm Great Saints while at the Hundred Shackles Realm.
There were also rumors that Zhang Ruochen was able to defeat Yan Wushen because he inherited the legacy treasures of the Kunlun Realm and held a large amount of Profound Meaning.
Various rumors, each sentence exaggerated.
The intention was to provoke those bold and reckless villains to make a move on Zhang Ruochen, achieving the goal of killing with a borrowed knife.
Zhang Ruochen ignored the outside world rumors and didn't intend to explain. He directly returned to the Hanhai Manor, preparing to go into seclusion to heal his injuries.
...
Yu Huang wore a set of Green Feather Heavenly Garment, with a Purple Gold Phoenix Hairpin inserted in her blue hair between her temples. Her temperament was ethereal, without the sinister and evil feeling that Hell Realm cultivators should have.
The Blood Heaven Tribe cultivators who participated in the Heaven Hunting Grand Banquet, because they still needed to enter the Destiny Temple to cultivate, were now all staying in the Bingsi City District.
Seeing her walking along the street, they all showed expressions of solemn respect.
In her battle with Yan Huangtu, although Yu Huang suffered a crushing defeat and almost fell, she also displayed the style of the Blood Heaven Tribe and the Undying Blood Clan, earning the respect of countless cultivators.
Yu Huang had walked through the boundary between life and death once, and her state of mind had undergone a great transformation. Her entire temperament was now completely different from before. There was a feeling of being hidden in mist and clouds, no longer showing everything on her face as before, sharp and unrestrained, not knowing how to restrain.
Walking this path, Yu Huang heard many news.
There was news that the Undying Blood Clan had won first place in the Heaven Hunting Battle; news that a God Venerable had bestowed marriage; news that Feng Hou had fallen; news of the life-and-death decisive battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen.
"Unexpectedly, so many things happened while I was in a coma."
Unconsciously, Yu Huang arrived outside the Hanhai Manor, paused, and hesitated whether to enter.
After a moment, she stepped forward and said, "Xia Clan's Xia Yu requests to visit Ruochen Great Saint."
Whether because of the dense array inscriptions now covering the Hanhai Manor, or because of Zhang Ruochen's current position in her heart, she could no longer barge in without restraint as before.
Lian Xi opened the array restrictions, looking at Xia Yu standing outside, and said in a soft voice, "The Great Saint was summoned by the War God and hasn't returned yet."
"Alright, I'll go in and wait for him." Yu Huang said.
Lian Xi obviously understood Yu Huang's cultivation and also knew her importance in Zhang Ruochen's heart was not low, so she didn't stop her.
Yu Huang had no goodwill for Heavenly Realm cultivators. Walking ahead, she said, "As a Heavenly Realm fairy, the goddess in countless cultivators' hearts, now serving as Zhang Ruochen's maid, are you willing?"
Lian Xi remained silent.
"That's right, you have no other choice."
Yu Huang walked to a pavilion by the lake, clasped her hands behind her back, and looked at the charming scenery before her, asking, "Can you tell me what happened during the Heaven Hunting Battle? Why did I come back to life after dying?"
Lian Xi could watch the projections of the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Eye, so of course she knew what had happened.
"It was Zhang Ruochen who saved you." Lian Xi said softly.
Yu Huang said, "I know, it must have been him who saved me. What I want to know is the process, the details, an answer that has puzzled me for a long time."
Lian Xi originally didn't want to bother with Yu Huang, but thinking that she seemed unable to afford offending her, she said, "Zhang Ruochen treated you extremely well. He used his own blood to reshape your physical body..."
Blood Qi is very important to the Undying Blood Clan.
Even among Undying Blood Clan cultivators with good relationships, it's hard to decisively cut open one's blood vessels and give one's blood to another.
Hearing that Zhang Ruochen had captured the Eight Sons of Life and Death of the Yama Clan and used the blood of eight experts to compensate for her lost Blood Qi, Yu Huang's eyes lit up, and her heart inexplicably beat faster.
Hearing that Zhang Ruochen was constrained everywhere by Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian in order to reclaim your Sacred Soul and spiritual power thoughts, Yu Huang's gaze was both angry and moved.
Hearing that when Zhang Ruochen needed to choose between his future in the Undying Blood Clan and your life, he did not give up on you, made Yu Huang realize that Zhang Ruochen truly cared about her very much.
Before, Zhang Ruochen had helped her everywhere, even giving her the Supreme Sacred Artifact. Yu Huang had always felt that Zhang Ruochen had ulterior motives, coveting her beauty, wanting to take her into the Seven Stars Divine Palace's harem, becoming a woman like Lian Xi, to be played with by him.
But after experiencing the Heaven Hunting Battle and deepening her understanding of Zhang Ruochen, Yu Huang gradually changed her biased view.
With Zhang Ruochen's status and talent, what beautiful woman couldn't he have?
If he only coveted her beauty, how could he have saved her recklessly?
"Zhang Ruochen is truly a person of loyalty and righteousness, different from those sinister and cunning cultivators of the Hell Realm, and also different from those hypocritical cultivators of the Heavenly Court."
Yu Huang closed her eyes, but in her mind, Zhang Ruochen's figure involuntarily appeared, impossible to dispel.
This man had already been branded into her heart, impossible to forget in this life.
Lian Xi stood to the side, naturally understanding what Yu Huang was thinking.
How could a woman, being so valued, so cherished, so protected by the strongest genius of this Eon, remain unmoved?
Even she felt a bit envious.
Unfortunately, Lian Xi also felt pity for Yu Huang. After all, Zhang Ruochen was too outstanding. Only noble-born proud daughters of heaven like Luo Sha and Yan Zhexian were worthy of him.
Yu Huang could only be a concubine.
If Luo Sha was domineering enough, Yu Huang might only be able to be an outside woman, unable to even enter the Blood Absolute Family's door.
Zhang Ruochen returned to the Hanhai Manor and happened to see the two women standing by the lake, each forming a beautiful scenery. A strange expression appeared in his eyes as he walked over and said, "Recovered from your injuries so quickly?"
Yu Huang had already composed herself and said calmly, "I was injured too severely this time. Fortunately, Blood Hou made a move, allowing my spiritual power and Sacred Soul to integrate into my body. But to fully recover, it will take at least twenty years."
"Enter the Sundial to cultivate. Recover as soon as possible. The opportunity to enter the Destiny Temple to cultivate is rare; don't miss it." Zhang Ruochen said.
Yu Huang hesitated for a moment, then said, "You don't need to be so good to me. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you."
Zhang Ruochen frowned deeply, carefully examining her, and said, "What's wrong? Where is the spirited, willful Yu Huang of the past? Just because you lost to Yan Huangtu, your confidence is also lost? The Xia Clan's people crowned you as Emperor; you need to have some of an empress's bearing."
"No, it has nothing to do with Yan Huangtu."
Yu Huang hesitated repeatedly, finally gathering her courage, and said, "I heard that the Kunlun Realm also has an empress, with whom you have a close relationship. Are you so good to me only because I have her shadow? Is she also so willful and headstrong, so domineering and arrogant?"
Zhang Ruochen's expression tightened, and the surrounding air became a few degrees colder.
After saying this, Yu Huang immediately regretted it.
She had checked Zhang Ruochen's information and knew this was his taboo, absolutely not to be mentioned. But today, she still couldn't help saying it.
Space seemed to freeze. The longer Zhang Ruochen remained silent, the heavier Yu Huang's mood became.
After a long time, Zhang Ruochen said coldly, "That empress is extremely formidable. You are a hundred times inferior to her, so don't try to compare yourself to her. I told you to recover your injuries quickly because there is a secret matter I want you to personally help me with. In the entire Hell Realm, there aren't many people I can trust. You are one of the few."
Yu Huang was not angered by Zhang Ruochen's belittlement. After all, that empress was indeed an unprecedented extraordinary woman. Of course, she did not admit defeat. Being inferior now didn't mean she would be inferior later.
She asked, "What matter requires this emperor to go personally?"
"Help me find someone, someone who came from the Kunlun Realm."
"Male or female."
Zhang Ruochen glanced at her and said, "Female."
