Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Do you spend every day playing the zither here!" Chu Qin, having arrived at the courtyard of the Immortal Palace, said with a gentle smile to Wuji Heavenly Emperor.

"What else?" Wuji Heavenly Emperor replied, "I've reached the pinnacle of cultivation and cannot touch the realm of Lord Qinglong; cultivation has become pointless. So, I might as well play the zither here."

"How long have you been playing?" Chu Qin asked.

"I don't know," Wuji Heavenly Emperor shook his head, "I suppose since the Tower of Undying first appeared."

"Don't you get bored?" Chu Qin, with his arms crossed, inquired.

"Bored! But what can I do when guarding the seventeenth floor is my duty?" Wuji Heavenly Emperor responded, "Besides, no one but you has reached this level."

"What, are you here to challenge the tower? You seem to have grown stronger than before," Wuji Heavenly Emperor said with a light smile.

"Stronger or not, only if I succeed in the tower challenge," Chu Qin smiled, "will you be released like Yazi?"

"Indeed," Wuji Heavenly Emperor replied, "but as I told you before, if you lose, you will surely die, so you only have one chance."

"And if I don't challenge the tower, could I still stay here?" Chu Qin asked with a smile.

"Of course, that is your freedom," Wuji Heavenly Emperor nodded.

"Very well," Chu Qin smiled slightly and sat down cross-legged.

In the Tower of Undying, one month inside is equivalent to just one day outside, and on top of that, this seventeenth floor is deemed impregnable. Cultivating here felt perfectly suitable to Chu Qin.

Most importantly, his future wife's immortal music was playing nearby, which he found quite enjoyable.

Seeing this, Wuji Heavenly Emperor just smiled lightly and continued to play the zither with her jade hands.

Chu Qin, on the other hand, quickly settled into meditation to the sound of the immortal music.

Before long, some black mist visibly began to emerge from Chu Qin's body.

"It's actually the Nether Beast Race's supreme technique, the Six Heavenly Demon Styles."

Wuji Heavenly Emperor said with a slight smile.

"Yes, the Six Heavenly Demon Styles are not so easy to cultivate," at this moment, another magnetic voice rang out as Chu Qin's avatar appeared directly opposite Wuji Heavenly Emperor.

It was obvious that Chu Qin used his main body to cultivate and his avatar to converse with Wuji Heavenly Emperor.

Other techniques for creating avatars could not do this.

But Tri-Clear Unification could, as he was able to freely switch the synchronous connection between his avatar and his main body.

Naturally, whenever the main body wished to recall the avatar, it was 100 percent feasible.

Seeing this, Wuji Heavenly Emperor raised her finely-shaped eyebrows slightly, "It seems, having made it this far, you have quite a few techniques at your disposal."

Chu Qin smiled indifferently, "Look, while I'm cultivating, I also worry you might be bored. I sent out my avatar to chat with you, doesn't that move you?"

"What, are you trying to get me to let down my guard?" Wuji Heavenly Emperor replied.

"I'm not taking a bath, why would I need to let down water?" Chu Qin laughed heartily, and then he snapped his fingers, making a pot of Immortal Wine appear, "Enough talk, how about a drink first?"

At these words, Wuji Heavenly Emperor swept her jade hand, seizing the entire pot of wine into her hands and started pouring it into her mouth.

"Even more straightforward than I am!" Chu Qin was slightly surprised and followed up by taking out another pot of Immortal Wine from the Soul-Guiding Divine Artifact and started drinking as well.

"I heard you're the sister of the Immortal Clan Founding Emperor?" Chu Qin asked while drinking.

"Indeed," Wuji Heavenly Emperor nodded.

"Then why don't you guard the Tianmen instead of this Tower of Undying?" Chu Qin inquired.

At this question, Wuji Heavenly Emperor stiffened for a moment, her expression revealing a touch of sorrow.

"What's wrong?" Chu Qin's expression changed slightly.

"Because my brother, the Ancestral Immortal Emperor, was refined by this very Tower of Undying," Wuji Heavenly Emperor said, her demeanor filled with sadness.

"Ah?" Chu Qin, somewhat surprised.

"The Tower of Undying, originally a Holy Artifact of the Outer Universe, was known as the Immortal Demon Tower. That year, my brother, the Ancestral Immortal Emperor, undertook a mission, leading people to storm into the Outer Universe. Tirelessly slaughtering, they delved deep into Tianmen, only to end up, along with other formidable beings, being captured by the powers of the Outer Universe and sealed within this Tower of Undying!" The Wuji Heavenly Emperor seemed to conceal nothing, "Later, in a fit of rage, Lord Qinglong recaptured the Tower of Undying, but my brother's Emperor's True Body had already been refined, becoming part of the Tower itself."

"Afterward, Lord Qinglong and the various Ancestral Emperors jointly remodeled the Immortal Demon Tower, concentrating the Divine Power of all mighty beings within the tower, transforming it into a boon for those who would challenge the tower, leaving it to future generations. To honor my brother, it was renamed the Tower of Undying with his name!" The Wuji Heavenly Emperor, while sipping wine, recounted the sorrowful past, "And I voluntarily applied to guard the Tower of Undying, so I could always be with my brother."

"My brother loved to hear me play the zither, and my zither music was played for him. Even though he is no longer here, I can feel that he is always with me!" Following this, crystal tears appeared in the beautiful eyes of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor.

"So, the Divine Power we possess was actually bestowed by your brother and the others?" Chu Qin, too, showed a sorrowful expression, "I'm sorry for unintentionally stirring up your painful memories."

"It's nothing. The Mother of the Universe created us." The Wuji Heavenly Emperor said, "We, this generation, will eventually pass away. Being able to cultivate you to continue guarding the Mother of the Universe is our duty and mission."

At this moment, Chu Qin's heart was in complete disarray.

The selflessness in the hearts of these Ancestral Level Beings far exceeded his imagination.

What's more, the Wuji Heavenly Emperor was his future wife.

At this time, Chu Qin felt a certain sentiment arise; he definitely must protect this "silly" woman!

"You're called Chu Qin, right?" the Wuji Heavenly Emperor continued.

"Yes, you've asked me that already," Chu Qin replied with a smile. He tried to break the somber mood.

"What I just said, don't tell anyone!" warned the Wuji Heavenly Emperor.

"Yes, I won't," Chu Qin nodded, then with a flick of his fingers, the ancient zither on the table turned towards him.

"Let me play you a different kind of song." Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Sure." The Wuji Heavenly Emperor nodded.

As Chu Qin spoke, his hands stroked the zither strings, beginning to play tunes of joy and pleasure.

Music always has its unique charm, and under the skillful play of Chu Qin's zither, the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's heavy heart gradually started to lighten.

The Wuji Heavenly Emperor, while savoring the Immortal Wine, listened to Chu Qin's joyful music and also admired this Descendant of the Azure Dragon, the future pillar of the universe!

There is no concept of time in the Immortal Palace, so no one knows how long Chu Qin played.

Chu Qin himself was also lost in the intoxication of his play, while the Wuji Heavenly Emperor had fallen asleep without him noticing when.

A series of steady breaths came from across Chu Qin.

"Sleeping so soundly, if someone came to challenge the tower, it seems they'd breeze through in minutes!" Chu Qin looked tenderly and fondly at the Wuji Heavenly Emperor.

After a pause, Chu Qin walked to the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's side and picked her up in a gentle manner.

With that, Chu Qin carried her towards the interior of the Immortal Palace.

The Wuji Heavenly Emperor's room was extremely clean and tidy,

At the same time, an intoxicating fragrance permeated Chu Qin's limbs and bones.

Chu Qin gently laid her on the bed.

And from beginning to end, the Wuji Heavenly Emperor showed no signs of waking up.

Lying on the bed, the Wuji Heavenly Emperor looked exceedingly serene, and the tranquility she radiated was a feeling that reached straight to the bottom of one's heart.

At this moment, anyone would be moved, unwilling to disturb this peaceful beauty.

Chu Qin didn't wish to either, and just as he was about to leave the room, his gaze suddenly fell on two paintings on the wall.

One painting depicted a man

The man in the painting, supremely noble, sat on a throne, receiving the worship of thousands.

To Chu Qin's surprise,

This man resembled him somewhat!
