Chapter 2425

The Black Emperor paused slightly. "What are you talking about? What do you mean I am an illusion? You are overthinking it." His tone sounded forced.

"It is not forced. It is because you do not understand me. You do not understand the Yan Emperor. You do not understand the Black Emperor." The Immortal Emperor smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, a massive barrier appeared, protecting everyone inside.

"How did you know I was fake? I thought my imitation was perfect," the fake Black Emperor said.

"You admitted you were imitating. Fake is fake. No matter how well you copy, you cannot become real," Zhu Yanyi said directly.

"Look at you. First, you do not know me. That is your first flaw.

Second, the Black Emperor was originally a demon cultivator, but he is now the Supreme Black Emperor. He can go to any realm. Even our Underworld is special, but he can still enter. Yet, when we refused you, you were not surprised. This shows you are not real.

Third, the Black Emperor emits the aura of a supreme emperor. Even if he hides it, that supreme presence remains. But you have none of that. You only have a boring desire for adventure.

Fourth, we were testing you. My husband said that any soul without identification cannot pass the review. Your face changed slightly, but you insisted on going. Why? You planned to have us take you to the Reincarnation Platform so you could enter reincarnation directly.

Besides these four points, there are fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth flaws. You are full of mistakes. I cannot understand how someone with so many flaws thinks they look like the real thing."

Zhu Yanyi sighed. "You tried to draw a tiger but ended up with a dog. That is you. What goes around comes around."

"Yes." A light laugh came. Two figures appeared. They were the Black Emperor, Xie Jifan, and the Empress, Wu Xunmei.

The Black Emperor looked at the fake one. "Do not copy my face. It makes me uncomfortable." He waved his hand. In an instant, the fake figure turned into a faint shadow.

"You were safe in the Heavenly Demon Black Hole. Why did you want to come out? I told you long ago that as long as I am here, you cannot leave. You insisted on coming out. Are you trying to slap my face?" The Black Emperor looked sighing.

The Empress turned to the Immortal Empress and Zhu Yanyi. "Are you two okay?"

"We are fine." Zhu Yanyi and the Immortal Empress shook their heads in unison. "We are here. At this distance, she cannot hurt us."

Zhu Yanyi added, "I was thinking, if she came at me, I would hide first. I cannot let her hurt my child."

The Empress governed life, so she could see the small life inside Zhu Yanyi. "Very cute."

She tapped lightly. A strand of life energy entered Zhu Yanyi’s abdomen. "As an aunt, I have nothing to give. So I give her a strand of life energy. This way, she will absorb less of your spiritual energy. You will not be so tired carrying her."

"Then I will not say thank you," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

"Why say thanks among sisters?" The Empress laughed softly. "The three of us will sit aside. Let the three men handle this."

Zhu Yanyi knew the Empress and Immortal Empress wanted to protect her. She was the weakest of the six.

"Okay." Zhu Yanyi was not ungrateful. She understood the Empress’s kindness. She sat with the Immortal Empress and the Empress. She took out many snacks, ready to watch the show.

The Empress and Immortal Empress followed her example.

Once the three women were in the safe zone, Yan Aohan and the others had no worries. The three men stood like a formation, surrounding the shadow.

The shadow looked at the three supreme emperors. He sneered. "Is this how supreme emperors act? Surrounding a small person like me?"

"You are not a small person. I never dare to look down on you," the Black Emperor said with a smile. "For you, I must be very careful. If I look down on you, we will suffer."

"Talking to him is too tedious," Yan Aohan said directly. "It is better to destroy him now."

"Destroying him is easy. But what will you do then?" The Immortal Emperor asked Yan Aohan. "Will you let him reincarnate?"

"Turn him to ashes," Yan Aohan said.

The Black Emperor glared at Yan Aohan. "He just came out. He has not done evil yet. How can we turn him to ashes?"

"But you cannot keep restraining him like this forever," Yan Aohan frowned. This was the first time he had met such a tricky problem.

"I know. So I am thinking of a way to purify him," the Black Emperor said happily. "There are many scriptures in the Daoist classics. But I think, sister, why don’t you pray for him?"

Yan Aohan frowned slightly upon hearing his wife was needed.

Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows. "You want me to do it? Okay. But will my prayer work on her?"

"Try and see," the Black Emperor said. "Even if it fails, it is fine. We three are restraining him. And my wife and the Immortal Empress are protecting you. He cannot hurt you."

Zhu Yanyi did not refuse. "Then I will try."

For Zhu Yanyi, praying was something she had not done for many years. She might be a bit rusty. But prayer was simple. As long as she was sincere, it was enough.

Zhu Yanyi closed her eyes. She made a lotus seal with her hands. Then, the cinnabar mole on her forehead turned into a lotus. It floated out from her forehead. The lotus seemed to know its mission. It flew directly above the shadow. Like the golden bowl in the movie Legend of the White Snake that captured the white snake, it covered the shadow.

Zhu Yanyi continued making hand seals silently. The lotus above the shadow kept spinning. As it spun, the shadow became thinner and thinner. Finally, it turned into a beam of light and disappeared. The lotus kept spinning for about ten more minutes. Then it stopped. The petals opened. A scent of lotus filled the air. The lotus turned into a beam of light and returned to Zhu Yanyi’s forehead. It slowly became a cinnabar mole again.

Zhu Yanyi’s cultivation level rose continuously. If she had not suppressed it, she would have broken through to Immortal Saint and entered Immortal Emperor.

However, Zhu Yanyi was very rational. First, she had just broken through recently. Second, she had to be responsible for her child. If she became an Immortal Emperor, the child might face difficulties when born. So, for the child, she kept her cultivation at the peak of Immortal Saint.
