Chapter 496 297: Seizing the Cauldron (Part 3)
"As you command."
The white-haired elder initially wanted to persuade further, but in the end, he gave up.
Emperor Wushuang is the sovereign; he is merely the subject.
Since Emperor Wushuang has already made a decision, even if it's wrong, it must be carried out.
As for the one from Bashu, he's actually not very optimistic.
Compared to Chen Lingxue, she's far inferior.
Her body is also not pure.
In comparison, Chen Lingxue is the phoenix that sings in harmony with the dragon, the best candidate to cultivate the Dual Cultivation Path with Emperor Wushuang.
Unfortunately, Chen Lingxue has sided with Wang Hao.
...
Inside the villa,
Sun Yaoyao embraced Wang Hao, energy enveloping him, healing Wang Hao's injuries.
Chen Lingxue looked at Wang Hao with a very complicated expression.
"It's not a wise choice to offend Emperor Wushuang at this time."
He said lightly.
"Lingxue, you're wrong. Only at this time is the best opportunity."
Wang Hao held Sun Yaoyao's full body, his face gradually turning rosy:
"Emperor Wushuang wouldn't dare to take the immense risk of acting against me at this time, as I have now acquired the Yangzhou Tripod, one of the nine tripods.
My strength has greatly increased, making it easier to deal with Xiao Movie and Little Corn moving forward."
"Brother, I heard that the Nine Tripods are national divine artifacts. Is there anything special on it? Does it have any magical abilities?"
Xiaoyueyue asked with a curious look.
"It seems there really is."
Reminded by this, Wang Hao remembered: "There seems to be a cultivation technique on it, like it's used for pulling radishes, but there's only one chapter of it."
"Ah! Yueyue wants to learn that."
Xiaoyueyue immediately became interested.
"Kids shouldn't be learning such things."
Chen Lingxue pinched her little face.
"I want to learn, I want to learn."
Sun Yaoyao also expressed great interest.
It's the dual cultivation method, isn't it?
As long as it's not about harvesting yin to replenish yang or vice versa, it's fine.
You get comforted while enhancing yourself, how great is that.
"We'll study it together later."
Wang Hao looked at Chen Lingxue: "I understand why Emperor Wushuang desires you so much now."
"Huh? Why?"
Chen Lingxue looked at him with a bewildered face.
"The method is the Emperor Dual Cultivation Technique. The best effect is achieved when a sovereign with the Emperor Dao dragon aura trains it with a woman who possesses the Phoenix Fate.
Emperor Wushuang not only possesses Emperor Dao dragon aura but also has the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon superpower. And you, mastering the Ice Phoenix superpower, if you cultivate together, your cultivation will progress by leaps and bounds."
Wang Hao said lightly.
Is that so?
Chen Lingxue realized.
It turns out dragon and phoenix harmony is not just a metaphor but also a specialized dual cultivation spell.
"Our dual cultivation would yield good results too, as I also have the Emperor Dao dragon aura protecting me, making me a legitimate emperor.
You have the Phoenix superpower enhancing you, and your fate has become that of a Phoenix. This cultivation technique may only have one chapter, but it's enough."
Wang Hao expressed his happiness.
This was indeed a pleasant surprise!
"Brother, isn't Yaoyao allowed?"
Sun Yaoyao pouted, showing a bit of disappointment.
"Of course you are."
Wang Hao reached out and pinched her little face: "I only said that way is the most effective, I didn't say that other girls aren't allowed.
An emperor's harem holds three thousand, not every one can possess a Phoenix Fate."
"Hehe, then it's great. Let's be together tonight too."
Sun Yaoyao immediately wiped away her tears and smiled.
"Yueyue also wants to join, Brother, you're so amazing, why not make it a three-no-loss."
Xiaoyueyue raised her hand to sign up.
"Little... Xiaoxue can join too."
On the side, Xiaoxue spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.
Her face was already red to the neck.
....
On the battlefield
The frontal battle erupted.
The superpower users began to engage.
Both sides were somewhat restrained, resulting in a temporary stalemate.
However, the battlefield of ordinary people was much more brutal, with heavy casualties as soon as they clashed.
The thick smell of blood drifted, attracting a large number of monsters.
A three-way melee ensued.
The monsters refused to retreat; they aren't afraid of death and only wish to feast on flesh.
The other two sides, even if they wanted to retreat, couldn't.
If they withdrew, they'd not only lose ground but also be pursued jointly by the other side and the monsters, resulting in complete defeat, so they could only hold on to the death.
The major forces hadn't arrived yet, so the Settlement Camp's troops were scarce.
Nonetheless, the allied forces of the two nations, having sailed at sea for many days, were physically and mentally exhausted.
Without rest after disembarking, they joined the battle directly, exerting only sixty to seventy percent of their power.
The MD troops, though small, were in a defensive position with the advantage of being well-rested.
Thus, both sides remained in a temporary draw.
The battlefield was like a meat grinder, with countless warriors dying every moment.
Both sides had compelling reasons to persevere.
Neither would back down.
As the war reached a fever pitch.
An opponent emerged.
He wore a hunting garment, held talismans, summoning one powerful Shikigami after another.
Vermilion Bird, Hexagram, Gouchen, Cyan Dragon, Celestial Empress, Taiyin, Xuanwu, Taichang, White Tiger, and the skies.
The Cyan Dragon he summoned could even engage Xu Xiang on equal footing.
Yin-Yang Dao.
This was a Foreign Country cultivator.
In the Dark Age, they also shone brightly.
Cultivators are Hua Country's weak point; ninety-nine percent of their experts perished.
While the Foreign Country had also lost many, a few ancients were preserved.
The old man with the Yin Yang Technique was one of them.
Part of the Foreign Country's history.
When the twelve Shikigami appeared, the battle situation changed immediately.
The superpower users were beaten into retreat.
The Settlement Camp's side also dispatched a cultivator.
Yet as he battled the Yin Yang Master, another layer of the Foreign Country's foundation appeared.
A ninja attacked, severely injuring the cultivator.
Then, a Three-Blade Samurai emerged, striking him down with one blow.
