Chapter 1474: The Secret of Fandi

"How could she know about the Samsara Indenture!?" Qianye Fantian roared, his emotions clearly spiraling out of control.

This was the greatest secret of his, and indeed, of the entire Brahma Monarch God Realm!

After his roar, he suddenly became alert, waved an arm, and cast a massive sound-isolating barrier.

The Samsara Indenture belonged to the Life Creation God Li Sa in ancient times. It was the third most precious treasure, surpassed only by the Ancestral Sword and the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations. If it recognized someone as its master, that person would gain infinite longevity!

In other words, eternal life!

While it wasn't the strongest supreme treasure, there was no doubt that "eternal life" was the ultimate pursuit of all beings, even true gods and devils.

If all seven supreme treasures were laid out, and one could choose freely, the most chosen would not be the Ancestral Sword or the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, but definitely the Samsara Indenture!

According to ancient records, after the Life Creation God Li Sa perished, the Samsara Indenture fell into the hands of the Devil Race and was never heard from again, nor had it ever appeared in the current era.

In reality, however, it had been acquired by the Brahma Monarch God Realm a hundred thousand years ago.

But after the Evil Infant's calamity, the Samsara Indenture, which greatly feared dark power, had its spirit extinguished, just like the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor's Pearl. Only a dead Samsara Indenture remained.

Yes, the Samsara Indenture, which could grant beings eternal life, was dead. It sounded ironic, but it was indeed the truth.

Yet, under the allure of "eternal life," how could the Brahma Monarch God Realm give up because of its demise? Over the years, successive Brahma Heaven God Emperors had spared no effort in searching for and attempting methods to revive the Samsara Indenture.

And ever since the generation before the previous Brahma Heaven God Emperor found the Samsara Indenture, its existence had become the greatest secret of the Brahma Monarch God Realm, known only to successive God Emperors and Brahma Gods. Even Brahma Kings were not privy to this information.

If news of the Samsara Indenture's presence in the Brahma Monarch God Realm got out, countless greedy eyes would undoubtedly be fixed upon it. Even if it was the strongest king realm in the Eastern Region, even if they knew the Samsara Indenture was dead, and even if no "immortal" person had ever appeared in the Brahma Monarch God Realm, the creatures' madness for "eternal life" would absolutely not be extinguished.

The current Brahma Monarch God Realm had just lost three Brahma Gods and was under the pressure of Yun Che, who was backed by the Devil Emperor... If this matter were to leak, the Southern Sea God Realm would undoubtedly launch an immediate attack!

No, perhaps it wouldn't even be the Southern Sea God Realm's turn; the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor might actively seek it out herself!

An artifact of eternal life was enough to completely ignite even a Devil Emperor's greed.

This was why Qianye Fantian reacted as he did after hearing Qianye Ying'er's words.

"Xia Qingyue spent those years suppressing internal strife and never left the Moon God Realm. She couldn't have known this on her own," Qianye Ying'er said gravely. "The only possibility is Yue Wuya!"

Qianye Fantian's gaze darkened.

"I've suspected for a long time that he knew about Yue Wugou's incident being my doing, even though he never showed it openly. But secretly, he's made quite a few moves," Qianye Ying'er said. "However, Father King doesn't need to worry too much. Even if the Moon God Realm senses a few clues, it's limited to mere speculation. If they dare to publicize this matter, I have countless ways to turn it around and make it seem as if the Samsara Indenture is actually in the Moon God Realm!"

"Besides, the Moon God Realm isn't qualified to openly challenge us."

"That was true before, but times are different now." Qianye Fantian's brows furrowed deeper. "If Yun Che informs the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor about this... the consequences would be unpredictable."

"No, he wouldn't dare." Qianye Ying'er scoffed. "If the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor were to obtain the Samsara Indenture because of him, it would certainly gain him more favor. But if it couldn't be found, it would be deception, and it might even lead to anger after her hopes are dashed... Does Father King think Yun Che would dare to take that risk before confirming it?"

"Precisely for this reason, Yun Che and Xia Qingyue's visit is very likely a probe to confirm this matter!" With his greatest secret touched upon, even Qianye Fantian's eyes began to show anxiety. "Purifying devil energy was merely a pretense, and meeting you to resolve grievances was also a pretense. They didn't mention it this time, but next time..."

He took a deep breath and suddenly turned around. "Ying'er, give the order: I need to meditate in peace for these two days. No one is to disturb me!"

In cosmic space, the same profound ark was now heading directly for the Moon God Realm.

"Mission accomplished!" Yun Che stretched his body. "Qingyue, you should tell me your objective now, shouldn't you?"

"I will tell you everything once we reach the Moon God Realm. This matter can only be accomplished by you," Xia Qingyue said.

"Hmm..." Yun Che thought for a moment, then said, "Setting aside what you truly intend to do, today's trip was just a distraction for the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

"Begging your pardon," Yun Che glanced at Xia Qingyue, "but this kind of trick might fool others, yet it's virtually impossible to fool Qianye Fantian. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the top God Emperor... And speaking of which, you couldn't possibly be unaware of that, could you?"

"The goal was precisely that he *couldn't* be fooled," Xia Qingyue said softly. "His thoughts must now have been drawn to 'another place.'"

"Another place?" Yun Che was puzzled. "Which place?"

"I know a secret of his, and he should also know that I am aware of this secret. This 'visit' was your suggestion, so he was already suspicious, and then I suddenly accompanied you... Even though nothing was explicitly mentioned, he will definitely think in that direction," Xia Qingyue's eyes gleamed with moonlight. "Absolutely!"

"Oh?" Yun Che raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so certain?"

"Because that is the secret Qianye Fantian fears most being known, and he is naturally extremely sensitive about it. Once that thought is triggered, he won't be able to shake it off. Little does he know... the distraction was the real objective."

If Yun Che had met Xia Qingyue's gaze at that moment, he might have, for the first time, found her "terrifying."

"The Brahma Monarch God Realm has such a secret?" Yun Che thought for a moment and asked, "What secret is it? Can I know?"

"Maids respectfully welcome master and Young Master Yun."

They bowed gracefully, showing no surprise at Yun Che's arrival, indicating that Qingyue had informed them beforehand.

Yun Che recognized the girl in the yellow dress in the middle; he remembered her name was Jin Yue. The other two he was seeing for the first time. Standing side by side, they made Yun Che feel momentarily dazzled... Even with Xia Qingyue beside him, they were still an astonishingly beautiful sight, enough to stir any man's heart and imagination.

"You may withdraw," Xia Qingyue said. "Unless I give an order, no one is to see me for the next few days."

"Yes," Jin Yue, Yao Yue, and Lian Yue obediently responded, then quietly departed, leaving only a faint lingering fragrance.

"The Moon God Realm is truly a wonderful place," Yun Che said with a smile. "But it's a good thing all your attendants are women. If they were men... I'd definitely chase them all away!!"

"Since I am the Moon God Emperor, let alone male attendants, I could even take thousands of male consorts if I wished," Xia Qingyue said, casting a faint, leisurely side-glance at him with her beautiful eyes.

"Male consorts?" Yun Che immediately gritted his teeth. "If you really dare to have any, I'll kill every single one!"

"Is that so?" Xia Qingyue said with a half-smile. "Never mind male consorts. If you can chase away those three maids I just dismissed, I'll grant your wish, how about that?"

"Oh, and don't say I didn't warn you," Xia Qingyue continued without waiting for Yun Che's reply. "Among the three of them, Jin Yue and Lian Yue are my personal Moon God Envoys, both with cultivation levels of fifth-level Divine Masters. And Yao Yue, who appears the most delicate and easily bullied, is actually my Assistant Moon God, one of the twelve Moon Gods of the Moon God Realm, and her strength among all the Moon Gods is second only to mine and the Golden Moon God."

"—!#￥..." The words Yun Che was about to blurt out were hammered back down his throat.

"If you don't keep your hands and feet in check and provoke them, even a slight mistake from them would mean you don't have enough lives to die a hundred times over."

"..." Yun Che swallowed hard. Of course, maids who served a God Emperor couldn't be ordinary individuals.

But those three seemingly gentle young girls, who didn't even look as threatening as a rabbit, were far from simple!

"Don't speak so idly without sufficient strength. Do you still think you can stop me if I want to take male consorts?"

"Even if I can't stop you, I will!" Yun Che said defiantly, then his expression straightened. "But I trust you definitely won't."

Xia Qingyue's lips moved subtly. "Do you think everyone is as obsessed with lust as you are?"

"Uh..." Yun Che was momentarily speechless.

Xia Qingyue stopped teasing him, slowly walked a few steps forward, and stood amidst the moonlight. A gentle breeze brushed past, making her black hair and purple robes flutter, inadvertently outlining curves so exquisite they were astonishing, causing Yun Che's gaze to fixate.

As if sensing the sudden stillness of his gaze behind her, Xia Qingyue placed her jade hands behind her back. Her wide, shimmering purple gauze sleeves naturally draped over her alluring, curvaceous waist, also blocking Yun Che's view. "I will tell you what to do next right now."

"The first time you purified devil energy for Qianye Fantian, you had several impulses to seize the opportunity to poison him, and you said he wouldn't detect it. I was puzzled at the time, but later, knowing you possessed the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor's Pearl, I understood. So..." Xia Qingyue's eyes became slightly melancholic, like mist or coldness. "Next time you purify devil energy for him, I want you to, as you previously considered, use the moment profound energy enters his body to release the poison of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor's Pearl into him!"

Yun Che frowned and said, "Under the current chaotic aura, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor's Pearl's poisonous power recovers extremely slowly. Given its current recovery rate, even if I release all its poisonous power, it's impossible to poison him to death."

"Last time, it was merely a natural thought that arose from the excellent opportunity when the profound energy entered his body, not even a true impulse. Moreover... even if I truly could have poisoned him to death at that time, I would only have had the impulse, but I definitely wouldn't have acted on it."

Xia Qingyue slowly said, "I don't want you to poison him to death, and indeed you cannot. What I want is Qianye Fantian's desperate situation, not his demise!"

A desperate situation would make the opponent struggle with hope, but a fatal one... would result in a desperate counterattack and relentless retaliation.

The latter was definitely something Yun Che and the Moon God Realm could not withstand.
