Chapter 272: Move the Divine Corpse as well
"Sister, those big bad guys left, huh."
Chu Chen, who was studying the Divine Ring, looked up at the retreating backs of the Eight Martial Emperors and said in surprise.
Chu Xin, without lifting her head, said, "If they've left, they've left. Have you figured out anything about that Divine Ring of yours?"
"Yeah!"
Chu Chen nodded and said, "This Divine Ring isn't the Sumeru Ring, it's called the Breaking Sky Ring. It can tear through the void to perform space teleportation. One can teleport to any place they've been before, and they can also teleport randomly to unknown places. But I've only initially refined it, so I can't use the random teleportation, and I can only teleport within the state, not across states. Teleporting with the Breaking Sky Ring allows one to ignore any prohibitions and Magic Array Barriers below the Heavenly God Level."
"The Breaking Sky Ring? That sounds like a pretty good thing."
Chu Xin glanced at the Divine Ring on Chu Chen's little finger with a touch of amazement, her round, twinkling eyes fluttering, clearly concocting some mischievous plan.
Fiddling with the Divine Ring, Chu Chen suddenly looked up and asked, "Sister, what cultivation level is 'Heavenly God Level'?"
Chu Xin blinked, then shook her head and replied, "I don't know. I've only heard Grandpa Village Chief talk about Martial God; I've never heard of Heavenly God."
At this moment, Jin Hong, who was kneeling two meters away, suddenly piped up, "Heavenly God should be a cultivation level for gods in the Divine Realm, or perhaps in the Ancient Divine Realm."
"Oh."
Chu Xin and Chu Chen suddenly saw the light.
Jin Hong looked at the Divine Ring in Chu Chen's hand with envy. The ability to teleport to any previously visited place would be extremely convenient for him. If he could possess that Divine Ring and fully refine it, wouldn't he be able to teleport directly back to the Imperial City in the Central State?
Regrettably, since the Divine Ring had already been initially refined by that little brat, it was no longer available for his use, unless he killed the little brat and took the ring for himself.
But that little brat was his life-saving benefactor, and avenging kindness with enmity was something he couldn't bring himself to do.
Besides, considering his cultivation level, who knew how long it would take to refine that Divine Ring, and he might not even be able to fully refine it at all.
"Sister, Dad wasn't a god, right? Can we get out of the prohibitions he left behind?" Chu Chen suddenly asked. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Chu Xin was taken aback. She had no idea about their father's cultivation level and genuinely didn't know if he was a god.
Hearing this, Jin Hong chuckled, "There should be no gods in Jiuzhou; the gods are all in the Divine Realm."
"That's good."
Chu Xin and Chu Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief; as long as their father wasn't a god, they could use the Divine Ring to get out.
"Sister, have you decided where to go?"
Chu Chen, still toying with the Divine Ring, asked.
Chu Xin, with her snow-white little hand cupping her delicate chin, thought for a moment and then said, "Those big bad guys dared to come and surround us, we must clean out all their treasures."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love emptying out treasures the most."
Chu Chen clapped his hands, cheering excitedly.
"I want to go too, I want to go too."
The Twin-Headed Piglet's childish voice also piped up.
Having spent a lot of time with the siblings, the innocent Twin-Headed Piglet had developed habits and preferences quite similar to theirs.
Jin Hong's mouth twitched. He advised, "Little friends, after we get out, let's try to leave the Desolate State first, instead of stirring up more trouble with them."
Chu Xin waved her snow-white little hand dismissively and said in a child-like voice, "Don't worry, Uncle Niangqin, I have a plan."
Jin Hong felt like crying but had no tears. What sort of plan could a three or four-year-old brat have?
However, the stubborn little brat was not to be swayed, so all he could do was inwardly sigh, wondering how long it would take to get back to the Central State while following the two little ones.
But if he didn't follow the two brats, he feared he might not be able to leave the Desolate State at all.
Oh well, it's one step at a time.
"Sister, what's your plan this time? Tell me about it."
Chu Chen urged, displaying blind faith in his sister's schemes.
Chu Xin stood up straight, her tiny snow-white hands clasped behind her back like a miniature teacher, and spoke with her childlike, lisping voice in a deliberate manner, "Those big baddies definitely don't know what the Divine Ring is for, so I'll leave the Divine Coffin here to distract them. My brother, myself, and the little piggy, along with the remaining Battle Bodies, will use the Divine Ring to teleport back to the Transmission Array. We'll wait by the Transmission Array and send the Battle Bodies to the State Mansion and Holy Land to loot treasures. Once we've emptied out the treasures, I'll recall all the Battle Bodies and just use the Transmission Array to leave."
"Good, good, good, let's do that."
Chu Chen nodded his head repeatedly, his round eyes full of admiration, "Sister is so smart, I could never have thought of that."
Meanwhile, Jin Hong who had been kneeling on the ground all this time couldn't help but roll his eyes. The little tyke's flattery came so naturally.
Yet for a three or four-year-old kid to come up with such a scheme was indeed somewhat inconceivable, which made him curiously inquire, "Little friend, who did you learn all this from? Did your daddy teach you?"
Chu Xin took out the "Three Hundred and Sixty Strategies" from the Sumeru Ring and waved it with pride, "Daddy made it especially for us, and I read it every day."
"Three Hundred and Sixty Strategies?"
Jin Hong glanced at the title on the cover and his mouth twitched slightly.
The name sounded unreliable and the content was all pictures, which he could hardly understand. He had no clue how the little tyke could glean any strategies from it.
However, one thing became clear to him—the father of these two little tykes must be incredibly invincible to afford such boredom. Otherwise, he wouldn't waste so much time crafting Holy Artifact dining tables, Holy Artifact barbeque racks, Holy Artifact cauldrons, and making such a thick book of strategies that adults couldn't comprehend.
Chu Xin waved her hand, conjuring a spatial doorway in front of Jin Hong, and said, "Auntie, you should just wait inside the Divine Coffin, you're too weak."
Jin Hong's face muscles quivered – he was, after all, a Martial Saint. Was he really that feeble?
But considering that the children's adversaries were all Martial Emperors, his own strength truly was negligible. With a darkened face, without uttering a single word, he laboriously crawled through the spatial doorway.
Chu Chen asked puzzledly, "Why did Auntie have to crawl in there?"
"I don't know, maybe he's been kneeling for too long and his legs are numb," suggested Chu Xin, shaking her head.
The twin-headed piglet rubbed its little head with its front hooves. It wasn't that his legs were numb, he simply couldn't stand up at all. Hm, neither can I.
"Big Bro, hold me."
The twin-headed piglet's childish voice called out.
Chu Chen walked over, caught the piglet by its Dragon Tail, and lifted it upside down while chiding in a childlike tone, "Piggy, you're already an Eighth Rank Demon Beast, you've grown up; why do you still want to be held?"
"Hehe, it's comfy when Big Bro holds me."
The twin-headed piglet naturally wouldn't admit that it couldn't stand under the Divine Pressure and chuckled in response.
"Brother, let's go," said Chu Xin.
She summoned the Divine Coffin, positioning it above the Divine Corpse.
"Alrighty!"
Chu Chen nodded and, funneling the Divine Rune Power into the Breaking Sky Ring, he drew across the void in front of him, instantly revealing a rift in space.
Just as Chu Xin was about to step through, she suddenly turned to look at the Divine Corpse and muttered, "Leaving Brother Divine Corpse here is too lonely. We should take him with us to bury him."
Thinking this, she waved her white little hand, attempting to collect the Divine Corpse into the Sumeru Ring but failed.
"It won't go in?"
Chu Xin paused, then after some thought, she formed a spatial doorway behind the Divine Corpse, gave a bow to the corpse, and chanted, "Brother Divine Corpse, please don't take offense."
After speaking, she rubbed her white hands together, grabbed the collar of the Divine Corpse, and threw it through the spatial doorway.
"Let's go."
Having done all this, Chu Xin patted her tiny hands clean, turned around, and stepped into the rift in space together with Chu Chen.
