Chapter 141: My Brother, the Third Most Beautiful in the World

Chapter 141: My Brother, the Third Most Beautiful in the World (Requesting Monthly Votes)

As expected, Wushi returned to Beidou and appeared at the Jade Pool Holy Land.

He was in high spirits, welcoming all who came, opening the gates of the Jade Pool and meeting every living being.

He then ascended the ancient Dao platform in the Jade Pool, delivering a lecture on Dao principles, a ritual that had become almost traditional. In the past, several emperors had visited the Jade Pool Holy Land after achieving Dao, sitting on the same platform to impart their wisdom to all beings.

This platform was left behind by the Eastern Emperor.

However, while preparing for his lecture, Wushi caught a glimpse of a certain figure among the female disciples of the Jade Pool. He turned away, leaving only a profound and mysterious back view for the world to see.

He also used his imperial blood to purify the old sage of Five-Finger Mountain, not only extending the sage's lifespan but also awakening the sage's holy body lineage. In the future, the sage would at least achieve the rank of a great holy being.

Wushi then gave a private lecture to the disciples of the Jade Pool, almost getting lost in the company of beautiful women.

He couldn't fight or scold them, especially since one of them was a formidable figure. Even with his supreme cultivation, he was helpless.

Fortunately, Wushi's Dao heart was firm, and he remained unmoved by external distractions, viewing all the women as crimson powder skeletons, passing through a sea of flowers without a single leaf clinging to him.

If a certain Cosmic Emperor knew about this, he would be heartbroken. Such a ready-made harem, and not even a second glance!

"Isn't there a single one who catches your eye?" Shaohua asked, looking amused at Wushi's embarrassment.

Wushi was speechless. He had just achieved Dao and was only a few hundred years old. Why was he being pressured to marry?

Was that appropriate?

It was not!

"Practitioners should focus on the Dao and not be distracted by romantic entanglements", Wushi said stiffly. "Women only slow down my cultivation!"

Shaohua snorted, nodded, and smiled enigmatically, making Wushi feel uneasy.

"Of course, except for you, Sister." He quickly corrected himself, as if realizing something.

"I agree with your view, but don't say that to me. Go tell Mother", Shaohua said with a smile.

"Right, I miss Mother too." Wushi tugged at the corner of his mouth.

With the affairs settled, the Mortal World Sword returned to Shaohua's hand from the ruins of the Jade Pool. The siblings walked together into Immortal Mountain, where Heaven-Burying Isle floated quietly in the low sky.

"Truly a majestic and wondrous place, this Heaven-Burying Isle!"

Wushi stood on the island, hands behind his back, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Stop pretending and come quickly", Shaohua said, pushing open the Bronze Coffin.

"Coming, coming... Are you sure we're getting into the coffin?" Wushi rubbed the back of his head, asking.

Shaohua rolled her eyes. How did she not notice how much he talked when they were young?

Inside the massive bronze coffin, a smaller coffin lay. As Shaohua slowly opened it, a surge of chaotic energy and divine light flooded out, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere that left Wushi wide-eyed.

It was a world!

"Could the Immortal Realm be inside this coffin?"

Wushi was genuinely shocked. Could the Immortal Realm that all beings sought be inside a coffin?

That would be too bizarre, beyond imagination.

"Yes, and no. This is just an incomplete Immortal Realm", Shaohua said, pulling him into the smaller coffin. In a picturesque forest, they met a gentle and beautiful woman.

"Child, my son, Wushi!" Xi Huang recognized the grown-up Wushi at first sight. Seeing her children walking toward her, she couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

After more than a hundred thousand years, the family was reunited, a miracle that filled their hearts with indescribable joy.

Wushi was also deeply moved. Even though he had achieved Dao and become an emperor, he couldn't hide his emotions in front of his mother.

"You've achieved Dao? Wonderful! You truly deserve to be my child!" Xi Huang hugged Wushi, looking him over from head to toe, her smile never faltering.

"Where is Father?" After a while, Wushi couldn't help but ask.

Xi Huang's expression darkened, and Shaohua answered, placing her hand on a stone that faintly glowed with a golden light. "This is him."

"Ah, this..." Wushi, initially too excited to notice the stone, now sensed a holy spirit within it.

"Transforming into a holy spirit, will he still be the same person when he emerges?" he asked.

"At the time, I had no choice. Fortunately, the five divine spirits are complete, and his true spirit remains. It's just a change of body", Shaohua said calmly.

"Instead of worrying about him, think about whether we will still be here a million years from now, and whether we can meet again."

Wushi fell silent.

In this world, who could live for a million years, unless they became immortal?

"Sister, you don't have to push me so hard. If you can become immortal, I can too", Wushi said with a confident smile.

At his age, achieving Dao in a few hundred years, he felt invincible, believing nothing was impossible.

And in fact, he had the talent and potential.

"I will tell him about everything you've done. I believe he will know. Reunion is just a matter of time", Xi Huang said, holding both of them tightly, inquiring about their recent affairs.

She mainly asked Wushi, as she already knew about Shaohua's years of seclusion and cultivation. Seeing her daughter now confirmed she was safe and sound.

Wushi recounted his experiences over the years.

"Pity that Wanqing isn't a woman. Otherwise, you could have made a good pair", Xi Huang sighed.

That's how it was when parents got older. Seeing their son achieve Dao and become an emperor, they started worrying about another important life event.

"I still feel young, only a few hundred years old", Wushi said, feeling a bit dizzy, as if his Dao fruit was about to waver.

Shaohua couldn't help but giggle.

"Mother, look, my sister is laughing at me", Wushi tried to divert the attention.

But Shaohua wasn't fooled. She smiled faintly, "I have already vowed to accompany only the Dao in this life."

"I can also vow—"

"Um??" Wushi raised his hand but was met with two deathly glares.

To say the least, this was more terrifying than his battle with Budou Tianhuang when he achieved Dao. If he finished his sentence, he would be dead for sure.

"I heard you once told Wanqing that he was one of the two or three most beautiful people you've seen", Shaohua continued.

"How did you know that?!" Wushi was shocked.

"Did you think I wouldn't leave some means to watch over you? What if something happened to you?" Shaohua laughed, not hiding her surveillance.

"So, who are the other people?" Xi Huang was also curious.

Wushi pointed at his mother and sister, then trembled as he pointed at himself.

In his youth, he had mistaken Wanqing for a girl, leading to that comment.

Among the two or three most beautiful, excluding his sister, mother, and Wanqing, the last one was himself.

Indeed, Wushi thought he looked quite good in women's clothing, as he resembled the two other beautiful women in his family when he was young.

It was only after growing up and becoming more masculine, resembling his father, that he forgot about those times.

"Ha ha, my brother, the third most beautiful in the world." Shaohua couldn't help but laugh, using a Heaven-Reflecting Divine Crystal to show Wushi's appearance as a holy maiden at the Jade Pool.

Wushi was about to lose his mind, but he was no match for Shaohua, who easily subdued him and handed the crystal to their mother.

"Really that beautiful? Such a pity I didn't notice it back then", Xi Huang sighed.

Wushi: "..."

The family chatted and joked around the stone that was once a holy body, eventually discussing cultivation.

Wushi, having achieved Dao, possessed the strength of a Celestial Emperor. He just needed more time to solidify his foundation.

Xi Huang had lived three lifetimes, and Shaohua had lived seven, nearly reaching immortality in the mortal world.

It was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, uncontrollable and intense. Wushi, in turn, eagerly absorbed the wisdom and experience of his predecessors, constantly enriching himself.

During this time, Lan Ling, Nan Jinping, and Li Xingru, who were sealed in the coffin with their mother, also joined, sitting and listening, entering a state of clarity.

Seeing this, Shaohua summoned Liunian from the outside with the Mortal World Sword.

Time passed unnoticed in the mountain. The three discussed Dao, while the four listened, all gaining significant insights.

Even Shaohua benefited from the discussion.

Finally, Wushi took out a dead Immortal Phoenix, divided its flesh and blood, and roasted it to share.

This was the Immortal Phoenix from Budou Tianhuang. Shaohua had taken a drop of its essence to study the Nirvana Art. They only tasted a part, while the rest was refined into an Immortal Phoenix Elixir.

Wushi also planned to pluck some phoenix feathers to craft two feather robes for his sister and mother, but they politely declined.

Shaohua had done the same before, later disassembling one of the robes. Her own azure feather robe was already damaged, and her current attire was formed from Dao principles.

Xi Huang said she already had a robe and suggested he keep the material to craft an immortal robe for a beloved woman in the future.

"Is there anyone in this world who can match Sister and Mother? This is too much to ask of me", Wushi said, feeling helpless.

"Stop being a smart mouth. There are others here", Xi Huang glared at him.

Liunian remained a stone, showing no reaction. Lan Ling only had eyes for her master, unaffected.

Nan Jinping and Li Xingru's eyes flickered slightly but remained calm, knowing they couldn't compare.

Wushi slapped his head, refined the Immortal Phoenix's heart and bones into gifts for the three women, and personally refined several great elixirs, infusing them with Primordial Essence into Liunian's body.
