She took a deep breath and said, "It's already too crowded here, so sisters, please don't look!"
Seeing this, Lin Ye couldn't help but think that Yue'er was one of the most impressive Golden Core cultivators in the world... She went up and invited three Mahayana cultivators to the door with great confidence.
After a while, Lin Ye and Gu Yuesheng pieced together the fragments of the Crimson Emperor.
Only Liuli remained in the room. She was to demonstrate to the Crimson Emperor the miniature version of the great array within her body as an example.
Liuli floated by with a curious expression, while Lin Ye and Gu Yuesheng pretended she didn't exist.
After a while, Liuli looked on with a face full of confusion.
Why can Moon Sister's hands and feet be detached?
Also, why was she hanging from a rope dangling from the ceiling...? The methods of human cultivation are truly profound!
Liuli's initial confusion turned to shyness as she wondered if she herself might one day be tied up like that.
After a while, Liuli suddenly realized that Gu Yuesheng's limbs were actually magical artifacts!
She had initially thought it was some kind of highly evolved physical body, not only more sophisticated than the energy structure of the torso, but also capable of being disassembled, thinking that the potential of the human body was quite impressive.
Liuli blinked, and then asked, "Sister Yue'er, don't you want to grow new limbs?"
Gu Yuesheng was held in someone's arms, and he just shook his head slightly.
Not long ago, she broke through to the Golden Core stage, and with just a few auxiliary spiritual objects, she can now regenerate severed limbs relatively easily.
However, she had her own ideas.
Gu Yuesheng said softly, "Three hundred generations. If you include every update and modification, this is already the three hundredth generation of prosthetic limbs that you made for me."
"I would miss my prosthetic leg a lot if I were to lose it."
"I've discovered that I might miss my limbs even more than I did when I lost them, so I'm going to keep them... For me, the price of growing limbs outweighs the gain!"
"And it feels even better to use than real hands and feet!" Gu Yuesheng said proudly.
Liuli suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."
Lin Ye nodded: "Naturally, this is the art of weapon crafting!"
Lin Ye sometimes thought that it would be better to cure Yue'er and make her whole again.
But there's nothing wrong with keeping it; it's also convenient to add cutting-edge technological advancements at any time.
As the Demon Emperor, wouldn't it be embarrassing to have a disabled person in his harem? Lin Ye didn't really care; it was a personal choice, and besides, outsiders wouldn't know who was in his family.
However, it's normal for top-level monks in the Dark Ages to feel it's not good.
Gu Yuesheng really liked his little indulgences.
Gu Yuesheng said, "I've heard that the weight of the limbs accounts for half of the body, so... half of my body belongs to you, senior!"
Lin Ye said, "Heh! Because it uses ultra-lightweight materials, this prosthetic body weighs only one-tenth of your own weight."
Gu Yuesheng gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, you've been possessed by Sister Gongshu! Any specific data is fine..."
After a short while, the Crimson Emperor's consciousness awoke.
Every time he wakes up, there's mugwort; the Red Emperor has gotten used to it.
However, she had a habit of observing how much Lin Ye's physical condition had changed every time she woke up, in order to judge how much time had passed in the outside world.
Once, Gu Yuesheng hadn't practiced dual cultivation for a long time, and the Crimson Emperor was really worried that when he woke up next time, Lin Ye would already be in the Immortal Realm.
That would be... disaster!
As a result, the Red Emperor's observation was misleading.
"...Seven, eight, or nine kinds of strange fire? When did it increase to so many?"
The Crimson Emperor counted the strange fire within Lin Ye's body. He was furious as soon as he woke up and exclaimed, "Host body! How many years has it been now?"
Gu Yuesheng said, "Would you believe me if I said it wasn't that long ago?"
"I do not believe!"
The Red Emperor's suspicions were quite reasonable, after all, searching for the strange fire was not so easy!
The number of strange fires in Lin Ye increased rapidly. At first glance, the Crimson Emperor felt that a long time had passed, and he was immediately furious.
Lin Ye said, "Red Emperor, no matter how much time has passed outside, it's still the same to you. Are you still truly dreaming of revenge?"
"You'd better obey me, and I might spare your life."
Upon hearing this, the Crimson Emperor angrily exclaimed, "Impossible!"
She hesitated for a moment, then added, "Don't even think about it until you ascend..."
Lin Ye chuckled, actually softening his tone...
However, it's too late!
"Red Emperor, I have collected all the fragments of the Heavenly Emperor. Do they look familiar?"
Lin Ye adjusted Yue'er's position so that she and the Crimson Emperor could see Liuli.
Yue'er's cheeks were flushed, while Liuli was practically glowing with heat. She shyly lowered her head and touched her little belly, where a nine-colored array pattern appeared.
Upon seeing this, the Crimson Emperor was stunned.
......
Lin Ye's use of coercion and enticement against the Crimson Emperor had a specific focus.
First, we need to know what impact this formation will have on the Crimson Emperor once it is fully formed.
Second, how much concession is the Red Emperor willing to make in the face of the threat of suppression?
Third, throughout the entire exchange, maintain a dignified and fearless attitude, and do not let the Crimson Emperor doubt that he would be reluctant to part with the power of the nine strange flames and the fragments of the Fallen God.
Lin Ye's acting was excellent; the Crimson Emperor couldn't see any flaws, as if he were determined to suppress it even at the cost of his own power.
"Humph..."
"Am I... a complete and utter enemy to you?!"
The Crimson Emperor let out an excited voice.
Lin Ye paused, stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "Isn't that right...?"
He reacted.
The Crimson Emperor just spoke softly, which is unusual. I guess she's assessing the situation and is starting to consider compromising.
The moment this idea came to mind, his life was threatened, and the Crimson Emperor felt somewhat aggrieved.
The feeling of "I like you, but you don't like me" for an average girl means she's one step away from success!
However, the Crimson Emperor is resistant to gentle persuasion but not to force; if you try to soften her words, she becomes arrogant and difficult to deal with. How should we handle this situation? Lin Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Crimson Emperor, let's make a deal."
Lin Ye said, "It is only natural for us cultivators to kill you. In exchange for the life you have borrowed from me, what do you want to give in return?"
The Crimson Emperor hesitated before saying, "A trade..."
The Red Emperor's pride as a deity makes him unable to accept the current situation, so his favorability rating will be stuck.
She wanted equality, even if it was just a facade.
Furthermore, Lin Ye's willingness to trade with her itself represents an acknowledgment that she is special, fulfilling the implicit need in the Crimson Emperor's questioning just now.
Seeing that the Crimson Emperor did not directly refuse, Lin Ye said slowly, "In the future, I plan to go to the Great Universe. Do you know how vast it is?"
"Destroying civilizations is in your nature, but you can't look further ahead."
"......"
The Crimson Emperor remained silent for a long time before finally making up his mind and saying, "One hand."
"Inscribe the formation on my body!"
"But you must leave me one hand. This hand is not strong enough to kill you, so you can rest assured now."
The Crimson Emperor said in a deep voice, "I will use it to lend you a hand."
That really is a great help... Lin Ye glanced at the Crimson Emperor's favorability rating.
The price is rising, which suggests that the Crimson Emperor's words are somewhat credible. However, if the enemy is also a creation of the Great Calamity, that's a different story, and we need to be careful—but in the end, she compromised.
Lin Ye nodded, and Gu Yuesheng swayed excitedly.
Liuli exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, congratulations! You've given us a great help!"
Lin Ye and the Crimson Emperor instructed her to prepare herself so that once the great formation was completed, her consciousness would be transferred into Lin Ye's body, leaving her arm as Lin Ye's helper.
Furthermore, to prevent any setbacks, a means to shut down the Crimson Emperor's consciousness at any time should be arranged as a precaution.
Although it is only an arm, it will have complete resistance to fire-attribute spiritual energy, and as Lin Ye's power increases, it can release more power to the arm. Theoretically, the Crimson Emperor's one arm is not insufficient to contain the power of a Mahayana stage cultivator.
"You're still so young, and you've already succeeded to the Demon Emperor? Hmph... After all, you're the cultivator who defeated me, so it's only natural."
The Crimson Emperor's consciousness shifted its gaze and said arrogantly.
Chapter 387 Red Emperor: Freedom!
With the agreement with the Crimson Emperor in place, Lin Ye painted a rosy picture for her, such as establishing a harem entirely composed of creations from the Great Calamity, with the Crimson Emperor as her Grand Consort. The Crimson Emperor rolled her eyes but couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who will be the Empress, stepping on my head?"
Lin Ye smiled but did not answer. This man was just casually mentioning the name "Qiuqiu Ba (5) Shi ⑥".
The Crimson Emperor couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be a great demon...? Just how obsequious had she been to this human while I was asleep?
I can't be a sister to her anymore!
[Current Daoist Companion Affection (Great Demon): 95]
[Current Daoist Companion Affection Level (Red Emperor): 86]
Although the Crimson Emperor's favorability rating is relatively low, she has already reconciled with Lin Ye, which can be considered as breaking through the bottleneck. The road to higher favorability ratings is practically unobstructed.
On the Great Demon's side, without a catalyst, it won't be easy to advance further.
Red Emperor: We will win!
Lin Ye invited the Lord of the Great Wilderness, the Human Pillar God, and Liuli, three Mahayana cultivators, to help form the array. They had already had detailed discussions beforehand, and upon hearing about the great reconciliation between the Crimson Emperor and Lin Ye, they felt both worried and excited.
We have powerful connections; the days of solitary self-cultivation are gone forever. With my wife taking care of everything, we have plenty to eat and wear.
The three wives operated with practiced ease, and soon completed the grand formation, transferring it to the Crimson Emperor fossil.
【Sealing Array Pattern (Unnamed)】
[Cost: Consumes nine specific rare fires, or uses the rare fire listed next to it on the rare fire list as a substitute material]
[Effect: Seals any item at or below the Tribulation Transcending stage, and after a considerable period of time, completely erases its existence.]
The great formation was inscribed on the Crimson Emperor's fossil. Except for one of the Crimson Emperor's arms being separated, the rest of the formation gradually sealed his body.
In reality, once the formation is complete, its appearance is merely a superficial issue, allowing Lin Ye to adjust its appearance at will.
Soon, the Crimson Emperor was bound by red silk threads, and the ropes formed by the great formation bound her body into a beautiful shape.
The Red Emperor has more arms.
Therefore, rope art can be perfectly utilized in her, and her binding techniques are easily more complex and beautiful than those of humans.
The Crimson Emperor complained, "Why is it this shape!"
Lin Ye scratched his head, quite satisfied with the formation.
Although it has sealed the Crimson Emperor, this grand formation has not been officially used yet, and it can still seal one more thing inside.
Just as the power of the Emperor Liulin "2?"er⒊ ?⑷Ba Shitian fragment was weakened when Liuli sealed the fragments of the Emperor Liulin within her body.
Like Liuli, the Crimson Emperor is a cornerstone of the formation, not the object of the seal, but she will still be affected by the seal.
As for the empty space in this seal, it can be used by the Great Demon.
The Fallen God is stronger than the Great Demon.
After all, only Emperor Yan, who was at the Tribulation Transcending stage, could handle Huang Tian alone. The other fallen gods were all killed by being surrounded and attacked by Mahayana stage cultivators.
In terms of pure combat strength, the Great Demon doesn't reach this level.
However, there is a reason for this. According to the records unearthed during the era of spiritual energy revival, the fallen gods appeared one by one, which gave the entire cultivation world the opportunity to jointly attack them and even make plans in advance.
Unlike the Great Demon, whose four heads all reach adulthood at roughly the same time.
Therefore, using the incomplete Crimson Emperor as the base of the formation might be a bit lacking to threaten an entire other Fallen God, but it is enough to seal the entire Great Demon, or even just right.
