Compared to Empress, Yang Wu was still a bit soft-hearted.
Yang Wu was rendered speechless by the princess for a long time.
He simply fell to the ground and closed his eyes, no longer arguing with her.
Empress could see that Yang Wu was in a bad mood, so she also closed her mouth and lay down beside him.
Unknowingly, Yang Wu fell asleep.
The repeated consumption of his body and soul had hollowed out his body.
Even if he recovered, he was still quite tired. Now that his body and mind were relaxed, it was normal for him to fall asleep.
Empress didn't fall asleep. She blinked and looked at Yang Wu, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Don't worry. They cultivate the Void Tempering Technique and belong to that faction. As long as they don't do anything against that faction, they won't be directly erased. Don't worry."
When Yang Wu woke up, Empress was nowhere to be found.
"I actually fell asleep." Yang Wu muttered as he patted his cheeks.
He woke up and sat down to meditate to recover.
After a few Extreme Circulatory Cycles, he was finally full of energy again.
"There is no limit to martial arts. I'm still too weak. I have to continue to advance." Yang Wu muttered to himself and took out a jade box. Inside was the emperor jade's profound essence. As long as he absorbed it, the Regal Nine Profound Arts level would rise again. It would definitely help him reach the next level.
Yang Wu didn't absorb it immediately. Instead, he went to find Empress, apologized to her, and asked her to protect him. Only then could he concentrate on cultivation.
Before he went to find her, she had already walked out of the hall.
"Are you okay?" Empress asked.
"I'm fine." Yang Wu responded and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you."
"You're a good child if you know you're wrong." Empress smiled and replied.
Yang Wu didn't argue with her. He told her about his preparations for seclusion. It just so happened that she was also going into seclusion. The two of them each found a seclusion place and entered a state of seclusion.
The Void Palace was located in a void mezzanine. Even true gods would not easily enter such a place. Plus, the Void Palace was protected by a void god array. It was hard to discover its existence.
There was basically no need to worry about being disturbed while cultivating in the Void Palace.
Otherwise, the Void Palace would have been discovered long ago after floating around for so many years.
After Yang Wu adjusted his state to its peak, he used the power of restriction to seal the surroundings to prevent the Emperor Jade Xuan Essence from escaping when he opened the jade box.
Some Mysterious Essence Qi could already condense intelligence and transform into living beings. The Netherworld Mysterious Essence Qi was the best example.
Yang Wu had to be on guard.
When the jade box was opened, a dark green light shone in the seclusion room. A gentle power filled every corner of the room.
A crystal of jade energy stayed in the jade box, emitting waves of colorful light. It was intoxicating.
At this moment, Yang Wu's Regal Nine Mysteries Formula was running crazily in his body. It was constantly absorbing the power of the Emperor Jade Xuan Essence Qi. It was like a starving wolf that had encountered delicious food and was desperately devouring it.
"Yes, this is the Emperor Jade Xuan Essence Qi." Yang Wu was overjoyed. He placed the Emperor Jade Xuan Essence Qi in his Dantian and crazily absorbed it.
The Emperor Jade Xuan Essence Qi's power wasn't wild and didn't have intelligence. It only contained pure Xuan Essence Qi power that could be easily absorbed.
When this gentle power entered his meridians, the Regal Nine Mysteries Formula smoothly merged with it. The absorption speed increased crazily.
Every time the Regal Nine Mysteries Formula received a Mysterious Essence Qi, its absorption speed would skyrocket. This was the benefit of leveling up.
Before Yang Wu could rejoice, his body underwent a shocking change at this moment.
The "Jade Qi" contained in the Emperor Jade Xuan's Essence Qi seemed to come alive in an instant, covering his meridians, skin, flesh, and internal organs with a layer of jade-colored crystals, as if to completely turn him into a "jade man".
This was the special characteristic of the Jade Emperor Clan.
When Yang Wu saw this situation with his inner vision, he instantly panicked.
The Emperor Jade Xuan Essence Qi had the effect of turning into jade. What should he do?
"Refine it!" Yang Wu was anxious. He could only increase the speed of the Regal Nine Mysteries Formula.
However, the faster he moved, the faster he petrified. Not long after, his entire body turned into a dark green color. Moreover, there were pieces of jade crystals condensing and wrapping around his body. His body couldn't move at all.
"What is going on?" Yang Wu was completely panicking.
He had absorbed many different types of Xuan Essence Qi, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
While he was at a loss, the Immortal Immortality Peach Tree once again displayed its miraculous side. It devoured the power of the Xuan Essence Qi.
"Master, this is the Emperor Jade Xuan Essence Qi. It contains the essence of jade. Your body can't turn into a deity, so you'll have to absorb it bit by bit. It will only benefit you." The Immortal Immortality Peach Tree's voice sounded.
"I'm already like this. How can it benefit me?" Yang Wu asked.
"The Dao of Emperor Jade can form an Emperor Jade Battle Armor. Its defense is unparalleled," the Immortal Immortality Peach Tree replied.
Yang Wu asked it if it had a way to quickly dissolve his body. It didn't have a way. Only creatures like it, who could fuse all kinds of powers, could ignore the corrosion of these powers.
In fact, this jade-like state didn't affect Yang Wu's movements. The only thing that made him depressed was that he couldn't use the power of his Dantian. The power that he had recovered with great difficulty was completely suppressed. Moreover, this jade-like body made him feel at a loss.
Thus, he continued to focus on refining the Emperor Jade Xuan Essence Qi. He believed that the Revered Nine Mysteries Mantra would have a way to dissolve it.
When the Emperor Jade Xuan Essence Qi was completely refined, Yang Wu became a "jade person." Jade Crystal Armor formed all over his body. He felt as if he had completely become a member of the Jade Emperor Clan.
He didn't even dare to run out and see people.
Just because he didn't run out didn't mean that the Empress wouldn't come to see him.
After the Empress came out of seclusion, she immediately appeared in front of him. Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but laugh. "Jade Spirit Clan's little brother is so handsome."
Yang Wu was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in. He didn't want to see people anymore.
"Stop laughing. Hurry up and think of a way to deal with this." Yang Wu was helpless. He could only ask the Empress for help.
He found that the Revered Nine Mysteries Mantra didn't work after fusing with the Emperor Jade Xuan Essence Qi. With his current state, he was extremely distressed.
"This is pretty good. Let me test your defense." The Empress replied. She raised her small hand and slapped toward Yang Wu.
Bang!
The Empress's slap wasn't weak. It sent Yang Wu dozens of feet back and he even fell.
"Murder for money!" Yang Wu shouted.
"It won't hurt you. I used 70% of my strength in that slap just now, but it still couldn't break through your Jade Crystal Armor. It's indeed powerful," the Empress replied.
Yang Wu got up and patted the Jade Crystal Armor on his body. It seemed that it was really sturdy. The power of that slap just now didn't hurt him at all.
"Try a few times with your full strength," Yang Wu suggested.
"You said it. I won't be responsible if you cripple me." As the Empress spoke, she had already attacked. Bang!
Bang!
The Empress's attacks were very fast and domineering. Every slap sent Yang Wu flying.
Yang Wu was not familiar with his current body. He was slapped all over the place, and it took him a lot of effort to stop.
"How do you feel?" The Empress stopped and asked.
"Are you sure you used your full strength?" Yang Wu calmed himself down and asked.
"Of course I used my full strength."
"Looks like this thing is still useful. I'm not injured."
"The defensive armor of the Jade Spirit Race is unparalleled in the world. Naturally, it's useful. So, you have to maintain this. At least there won't be too many people who can kill you."
"Are you cursing me?"
…
In the following days, Yang Wu began to familiarize himself with his jade-like physique. He tried to figure out how to integrate this jade-like power into his dantian or form his own innate defensive power. In this way, he would be able to effectively use the jade-like ability.
After trying again and again, Yang Wu finally found a way to break through.
This jade-like power covered his entire body. He had to shatter this jade-like power, liquefy it, and guide it into his dantian.
If he shattered this jade-like power, it would at least injure him. In the worst case, it would destroy his body.
The method Yang Wu thought of was to use the power of the Heavenly Thunder Bone to dissolve this jade-like power.
He only found this method after his Heavenly Thunder Bone's power dissolved the jade-like power on his bones.
So, he used the power of thunder and lightning to replace the jade-like power in every part of his body.
Other than the power of thunder and lightning, he could also use the power of Lan Jiaoji to dissolve the jade-like power as well.
With these two methods, a lot of the jade-like power dissolved into liquid and was crazily guided into his dantian. Finally, he refined it.
However, when he thought that he had refined all of the jade-like power, he found that there was still some jade-like power in one of the acupuncture points on his chest. Moreover, it had fused with the acupuncture point, forming a dark green whirlpool that contained a shocking amount of power.
Yang Wu carefully observed it and was overjoyed. "Could it be that this acupuncture point's innate talent has been awakened by the jade-like power?"
Thinking of this, Yang Wu poured power into the acupuncture point. The jade-like power in the acupuncture point spread out and instantly covered his skin and flesh, forming a thick layer of jade-like armor.
This time, only his skin and flesh had become jade-like. His organs had not become jade-like. This was a big change.
Yang Wu pulled back the power in the acupuncture point. The jade-like power retreated like a tide and merged into the acupuncture point. The jade-like armor was also digested.
"Haha, since the 'Celestial Moon in Mirror' innate talent was activated last time, I now have a defensive innate talent, 'Jade Crystal Armor.' It shouldn't be called 'Emperor Jade Battle Armor,'" Yang Wu shouted with wild joy.
"Don't be so happy. We've been here for a long time. We can't go back to the Void Ancient City. We have to find another way."
