Chapter 49 If Yu Ri can shoot down Li Jing with one cannon shot, then Shen Yi can easily cut down Li
"Barefoot Immortal, since Shen Yi has already demonstrated the power of an immortal, we don't need to target him too much. How about we bestow upon him the title of High Immortal?"
Seeing the Barefoot Immortal's uncertain expression, Venus, who was outside the hall, offered him a way out.
After a moment of silence, the Barefoot Immortal's shoulders finally slumped, and he let out a long sigh: "What Taibai said is very true."
It's true that he's somewhat arrogant, but he's mostly acting from a protector's perspective, like parents with their children. Sometimes he might be unreasonable, but most of the time he just wants to protect his child.
Now that Shen Yi has enough confidence to speak on the same level as him, he naturally won't treat him as a junior.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yi sheathed his Aurora Sword, took a step back, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "You flatter me."
In truth, he wasn't confident he could defeat the Barefoot Immortal. After all, most spells in the mythological world are related to rules. He might be able to surpass the Barefoot Immortal in speed or strength, but if he pushed the opponent too far, and the opponent used all sorts of spells, he would be at a loss.
This is why he chose to challenge the Barefoot Immortal. While the Barefoot Immortal himself was involved, if it were someone like Li Jing or even the Old Man Under the Moon, who were unreasonable and directly used the Exquisite Pagoda to recruit people and randomly tie red threads to affect his mind, Shen Yi might not be able to withstand it.
Although his armor looks like the Emperor's Armor, it's not the real Emperor Warrior.
Of course, even if he could defeat the Barefoot Immortal, he wouldn't be too arrogant, as that would only offend the Barefoot Immortal. He just wanted to prove his strength and show the immortals that he wasn't a pushover, and he didn't really want to be their enemy.
The two flew into the martial arts arena, where they saw the immortals whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
If they were still watching with amusement when Shen Yi said his strength was "no less than that of a god," now that they saw it with their own eyes, they had no doubts. At least the power of this armor had indeed reached the level of an immortal.
Speaking of which, the source of power for the immortals in the Seven Fairies of Joyful Joy is quite similar to that of Shen Yi; both come from magical treasures. Without these treasures, they are arguably even weaker than mortals.
The most typical example is the Seven Fairies. Without the spirit stones, they became completely weak women. Qing'er, a fairy, could even be disfigured by a mortal. Can you believe it?
And then there's Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. Without his exquisite pagoda, he was practically useless, almost dying on the spot.
Without her scepter, the Queen Mother was no different from an ordinary person. If it weren't for the help of the deaf and mute, she would probably have become a beggar like Li Jing.
"The power within your armor..."
On the high platform, the Queen Mother stared intently at the imperial armor he wore, her eyes revealing an emotion she had never seen before. "Was it bestowed upon you by Cheng'er and Zi'er?"
Her eyes held a complex expression that was a mixture of shock, scrutiny, and a certain urgency.
Shen Yi, unaware of the situation, honestly replied, "That's right. When I was developing the Emperor Armor, Cheng'er and Zi'er imbued the armor with spirituality, which is how this armor came to be."
The immortals suddenly realized—no wonder this armor was so powerful, it was because of the Second Princess and the Seventh Princess.
Shen Yi: ……
How come this proof actually proves that he's still a gigolo?
The Queen Mother fell silent upon hearing this, her gaze slowly sweeping over Shen Yi's armor as if confirming something. After a moment, she asked again, "How many more people's power can your armor absorb?"
The immortals, upon being reminded of this, also showed expressions of surprise. This armor could actually withstand the power of the two princesses; it must be some kind of rare and precious treasure in itself.
It seems that Zi'er's husband is indeed extraordinary; no wonder he was able to create the Listening Satellite.
"Theoretically, multiple can be loaded."
Shen Yi truthfully replied, "The armor has a reserved energy interface, which can be expanded as long as new power is injected."
The armor he was wearing was made from materials given by Cheng'er. Although it wasn't exactly a rare and precious material, it was still an item from the Heavenly Court. In addition, with the enhancement of Shen Yi's self-created rune system, its power was naturally not weak.
After all, as the saying goes, if Yu Ri can blast Li Jing and his Linglong Pagoda to pieces from the sky with a single cannon shot, then it's no problem for me, Shen Yi, to cut Li Jing down with a single sword strike.
Li Jing: ……
"it is good."
The Queen Mother nodded, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her face.
The smile appeared so suddenly that all the immortals present were stunned. You must know how dignified and majestic the Queen Mother of the West was on a normal day. Even when she smiled, it was only a slight upturn of the corners of her mouth. But at this moment, she smiled with her eyes crinkling, as if she had encountered a great joy.
"From today onwards—"
The Queen Mother's voice echoed throughout the entire Lingxiao Palace, "Shen Yi is now my son-in-law."
Although the immortals were somewhat bewildered by this sudden change, since the Queen Mother had already made the decision, no one would risk offending her at this time. Moreover, Shen Yi had rendered meritorious service in presenting the treasure, possessed astonishing combat power, and had rendered the Barefoot Immortal speechless. There was nothing to criticize about this marriage.
Barefoot Immortal stood in the crowd, his expression shifting between anger and discontent. He was unwilling yet speechless; he was resigned yet felt ashamed of his old face.
The Queen Mother saw his embarrassment and smiled slightly: "Barefoot Immortal, you will be in charge of investigating the matter of the Listening Satellite. If there are demons or evil spirits causing trouble in the mortal world, you can use this satellite to investigate. There is no need to report through the layers of government. You can directly dispatch heavenly soldiers to deal with them."
Upon hearing this, the Barefoot Immortal's eyes lit up.
He has always hated evil as if it were his enemy, and what he hates most are those mortals who bully the weak and do evil. In the past, he couldn't control them all, but now with this satellite that can actively detect evil deeds, it's like adding wings to a tiger.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Barefoot Immortal finally dropped his sour expression, bowed to the Queen Mother, then turned to Shen Yi, hesitated for a moment, and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you."
Shen Yi returned the greeting: "You're too kind, Immortal. Punishing evil and eliminating wickedness is our shared wish."
Barefoot Immortal snorted. Although his face remained arrogant, the faint smile at the corner of his mouth did not escape everyone's notice.
After the court assembly ended, Shen Yi hadn't even had a chance to say a few words to Zi'er before the Queen Mother of the West sent someone to invite him to a side hall of the Seven Immortals Palace.
"Can your imperial armor withstand the full power of seven princesses?"
The Queen Mother asked directly.
Shen Yi paused for a moment, then nodded: "Of course. The armor's energy loop was designed with room for expansion. Most importantly, the seven princesses' powers share the same origin and will naturally merge into a complete system."
"A complete system..."
The Queen Mother murmured and repeated herself, her eyes growing brighter. She turned around, looked directly into Shen Yi's eyes, and said with unprecedented solemnity, "Shen Yi, I want you to harness the power of the seven princesses."
Shen Yi's mind raced. It seemed that the Queen Mother did indeed know where Yin Shi Wang was, and his armor was clearly a way for her to restrain him.
However, since the Queen Mother didn't say it outright, he couldn't bring himself to expose her, so he simply nodded and said, "Yes."
