Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 2017 - 1076: Intelligence Reconciliation_2

He had indeed spotted the unclear bond between Meng Qi and that seductress Gu Xiaosang, teasing about it many times, yet amid these conditions...

"Doesn't this excite the master even more..."

The Golden Emperor's murmur caused Tao Yu to push aside his troubles. Fine then, handle the past grudges first...

...

"Do the exquisite arts from the Joyful Lineage and the Doctrine of the Maiden please the master?"

Sweat droplets glided along the Golden Emperor's nose, emitting the alluring scent of Innate Spiritual Power, while her soft voice held a faint quiver.

Belonging to the Other Shore, she instantly synced with all sorts of Dharmas, grasping fitting traits with ease and speed.

They could deem it Tianyi, allowing the Golden Emperor to grasp diverse exquisite arts right away if she chose.

This truly granted Tao Yu an unmatched sensation, unveiling countless fresh pleasures.

"We're square now, no debts between us anymore."

Tao Yu idly shifted the forms within his grasp.

"In that light, might this servant ask for an alliance with the master, merely a tiny boon for this lowly one?"

Her alluring poise hid every bit of her famed arrogance.

But exactly for that reason, Tao Yu sensed a touch of unease.

Had she gained her Dao sooner, he wouldn't feel assured in managing her.

Beyond the sensory temptations, forming an alliance with the Golden Emperor proved quite possible.

Similar to the Heavenly Emperor, clashes with the Golden Emperor would probably center solely on Gu Xiaosang.

Spending these years alongside Meng Qi proved delightful; once Meng Qi claimed the First Three Seals, he passed on everything except Dao Yi—the Cause of All Fruits—to me.

Within the sword that cleaved open the cosmos, I fused the Heaven Opening Seal tailored to my style!

Likely, the Golden Emperor displays this yielding attitude to keep me out; without it, she'd face some weakness.

"Quite complicated, this whole affair..."

Tao Yu kept his hand moving, yet his tone turned somewhat distant.

"The master just needs to stay out of it; should victory come, this servant vows to free the True Spirit—it's only a contest to decide the winner."

The Golden Emperor murmured feebly.

After a brief hesitation, she let out another sigh before adding

"Moreover, this servant can share a major secret with the master. Post the Heavenly Court clash, I concealed every sign of Lingbao Tianzun's moves. For The Three Pure Ones to ascend, they must act together; subtracting toward emptiness...

The Golden Emperor's revelation halted Tao Yu's actions, letting his fingers ponder various matters.

"So it comes to that..."

Tao Yu shot the Golden Emperor a strange look and remarked

"Then, are you helping Lingbao Tianzun subtract for emptiness to reach the Other Shore? Plus, you aim to repay The Three Pure Ones, likely by protecting the Mad Blade."

Who knew the Golden Emperor served as Meng Qi's true strongest supporter, not The Three Pure Ones' absence?!

This flips the Celestial Pole right over...

"Precisely so—regardless of my overt actions against the Mad Blade, at the pivotal instant, I'll surely help him step onto the Other Shore."

"Given his nature, gratitude might escape him."

Tao Yu sighed, grasping that without the Other Shore, everyone stays a mere piece. Even if Meng Qi appeared to battle endless trials with vast efforts and schemes, it all fell under the Golden Emperor's sway!

Perhaps to fulfill this aim, she strove to return to the Other Shore first, bearing immense strain to tie up all loose ends.

"Gratitude from him concerns this servant not—what counts is the master's view..."

Though her voice stayed gentle, the Golden Emperor's resolve and devotion made plain to Tao Yu that her best paths stemmed solely from her own forecasts!

To chase her objective, she'd employ any tactic; her form offered without reserve, even mastering particular wondrous arts to delight me.

Yet that remained just one tool in her vast arsenal!

On the Other Shore level, nobody else warrants such commitment from her, and my singular tastes probably eased preference-driven moves, steering her here.

No emotions, pure scheming...

Even so, judging by results, these setups pose no block.

Meng Qi's character might breed some bitterness toward me too, but it'd likely spark only later complaints; he wouldn't unsheathe his blade at me...

"Very well."

Upon Tao Yu's agreement, delight bloomed across the Golden Emperor's alluring features, as if set to pour forth all her zeal once more, yet after a short halt, she went on

"Incidentally, does the master plan to pursue Dao Fruits now? With the outside chaos brewing, this could mark the last battle for Dao Fruits."

"Dao Fruits?"

Tao Yu halted briefly, then casually replied

"I follow my own way."

True Realm's Dao Fruit bound here offered mere regional boost; my goal is the Abyss Dao Fruit!

"The Three Pure Ones invested some cultivation arts in me ages back; no issue with them vying for it."

Here Tao Yu stopped, gazing regretfully at the Golden Emperor's bewitching visage before saying

"Pity your Dao came so late—backing your bid wouldn't be out of reach otherwise; leveraging you could smooth my schemes...

...

Swoosh~

A beam of light flashed ahead, as Meng Qi—with his fresh Dharma Body—arrived in the Divine Capital.

By rights, Meng Qi's Dharma Body achievement elevated him to genuine Land Immortal status, so the Mad Blade title ought to shift.
