But at this moment, Jiang Che dared not make any presumptuous moves and remained serious.

........................

As Wu Zetian's oppressive aura subsided, the dark clouds that had covered an area of ​​100,000 li and blotted out the sun finally dispersed, the rolling thunder disappeared, and the world was once again clear, with a bright and sunny sky.

It was as if the terrifying, apocalyptic scene from just moments ago was merely a fleeting moment.

Looking at the gradually clearing sky outside the window, Jiang Che clicked his tongue in amazement. The saying that a powerful being can turn the world upside down and reverse yin and yang is no joke.

If simply releasing her aura could achieve such a terrifying effect, just how powerful was Wu Zetian?

Jiang Che could not have imagined that if this woman went all out, the entire Heluo region would probably be reduced to nothingness in an instant.

"Why go to the Great Wall for training?"

How long do you plan to stay?

Wu Zetian frowned slightly and looked hesitantly at Jiang Che in front of her.

She didn't doubt Jiang Che's words, and was certain that Jiang Che wasn't just making up an excuse on the spur of the moment to deceive her. She figured he wouldn't have the guts to do it.

Wu Zetian had originally intended to cultivate a relationship with Jiang Che, but she had accidentally startled him just now, and felt a little regretful.

What a bastard!

Who taught you to speak with such heavy breathing?

For a century since ascending the throne, Wu Zetian has managed the entire Tang Dynasty with remarkable efficiency through her iron-fisted methods. She is the supreme and undisputed ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and no one has ever dared to disobey her or confront her directly.

The reason she released her aura just now was entirely subconscious, wanting to give this disobedient junior a little shock.

"My cultivation has recently reached a bottleneck, so I wish to go to the Great Wall to train, hunt monsters, and increase my combat experience..."

"Moreover, I have heard that all the ancient gods perished in the Cloud Desert in the past, so I want to try my luck and see if I can find some opportunities..."

"The disciple will return in three months at most."

Jiang Che pondered for a moment, then, without hiding anything, laid out all his thoughts (bfbc) in a rapid-fire manner.

Facing Wu Zetian, Jiang Che dared not hide anything except his biggest secret.

Heaven knows if I spoke a little slower, would this woman have given me another tiny bit of shock?

If I keep jumping around like this, I'll eventually drive myself insane!

After listening to Jiang Che's words, Wu Zetian seemed to be deep in thought. She looked at Jiang Che for a long time and then parted her lips slightly.

"In that case, in the last few days before you leave Chang'an, remember to come to the Jade Pavilion every day. I want to personally instruct you in the art of alchemy..."

Wu Zetian only believed half of Jiang Che's words. She believed that Jiang Che's plan to go to the Cloud Desert to seek opportunities was true, but she did not believe Jiang Che's claim that he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation at all.

In just one month, you broke through from the peak of the Golden Core stage to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage. What kind of cultivation bottleneck could you possibly have?

Even she couldn't help but feel a little envious of Jiang Che's terrifyingly rapid improvement in cultivation.

Wu Zetian felt that Jiang Che in front of her was the one who was deeply favored by fate and had unparalleled luck. Otherwise, how could he have such a fast cultivation speed that completely broke the law?

Moreover, he has achieved remarkable accomplishments in all four secondary professions of cultivation, and his talent in alchemy is extremely rare, which may break the situation that has been maintained for thousands of years.

"Disciple obeys the order..."

Jiang Che nodded slightly and agreed immediately.

Although he still didn't quite understand why Wu Zetian wanted to personally teach him, Jiang Che certainly wouldn't refuse anything; he couldn't be happier.

Wu Zetian was not only a powerful figure with unparalleled cultivation, but also a true peak eighth-grade alchemist. She had immersed herself in the art of alchemy for a hundred years, and her insights and experiences were far beyond those of ordinary alchemists.

If one could receive training from the Empress, even for just seven days, it would be immensely beneficial, far better than studying alone and reinventing the wheel.

Besides... Jiang Che didn't dare to refuse at all!

"very good…"

"Now I will begin to teach you by example!"

Seeing that Jiang Che agreed, Wu Zetian's lips curled up slightly, and she was extremely satisfied.

Just as she was about to begin, Wu Zetian suddenly paused, her brows furrowing slightly, and coldly gave the order.

"Wan'er, let her come up..."

Just as Wu Zetian withdrew her oppressive aura, she sensed that Haiyue had noticed something amiss, and was not surprised by her arrival.

As Wu Zetian finished speaking, a stunningly beautiful figure, seemingly ethereal, quickly appeared in the main hall on the third floor. It was Haiyue.

Haiyue glanced around and was slightly taken aback to find Jiang Che there as well. The White Jade Pavilion had an isolation array personally set up by the Empress, which even she could not detect at all. Therefore, she had not sensed Jiang Che's presence before.

After glancing at Wu Zetian not far away and seeing that her expression was as usual, still as aloof, noble, and incomparable as ever, Haiyue breathed a sigh of relief and hesitated before speaking.

"Your Majesty... why did you just display such power?"

"Has something unexpected happened?"

Haiyue was all too familiar with Wu Zetian's aura, so the moment she unleashed her pressure, fearing something unexpected might happen, she went to the Daming Palace.

In hindsight, she had been overthinking things.

"Nothing..."

"It's just that your little disciple wanted to see just how powerful a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator really is, so I granted his wish..."

Wu Zetian glanced at Jiang Che, her expression calm and composed, and spoke with a clear conscience, shifting the blame onto Jiang Che, giving him a threatening look.

As a qualified emperor, passing the buck is an essential skill. Wu Zetian was well-versed in this art and had long since reached an extremely high level of skill in passing the buck. She could make up stories without batting an eye or breaking a sweat.

As the Empress of the Celestial Dynasty, how could she possibly be wrong?

Even if they are really wrong, who would dare to speak out without fear of death?

Even if she did something wrong, it was still right.

Jiang Che:…………

"Xiao Che, is that so?"

Haiyue turned around and looked back at Jiang Che, her expression full of tenderness.

Seeing Haiyue's reaction, Wu Zetian was speechless.

What a woman who forgets all principles for the sake of beauty!

When you spoke to me before, you were never this gentle.

"Yes, Master..."

"His Majesty demonstrated the power of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator to me in order to fulfill my wish!"

"This disciple now deeply understands the principle that there are always people more capable than oneself and heavens beyond heavens. My admiration for Your Majesty is like a surging river, never-ending!"

"This disciple will definitely work harder in my cultivation in the future, and strive to become independent as soon as possible to serve my master and His Majesty!"

Jiang Che, with a serious expression, made a statement to the two women, his words filled with righteous indignation.

He was a very capricious person, and when he sensed the threat in Wu Zetian's eyes, he would naturally obediently go along with what she said.

"As long as you have this intention..."

"My master doesn't need your help at all..."

Haiyue chuckled softly, her voice gentle and warm. Her brows furrowed slightly, her expression exuding tenderness, making it hard to associate her with the aloof and ethereal beauty, the goddess of the moon.

Haiyue looked at Jiang Che with eyes full of doting affection and a hint of relief.

She naturally didn't need Jiang Che's reciprocation or any other service; she was already quite satisfied that Jiang Che had the intention.

Looking at Haiyue in front of him, Jiang Che was momentarily dazed, almost thinking that the person standing in front of him was not Haiyue, but his kind older sister Yang Yuhuan...

What does that doting look mean?

You're acting like a child!

A warm current flowed through Jiang Che's heart. Sure enough, his master was the cutest!

Wu Zetian was a fierce woman who could easily cause a huge stir if she didn't speak up; she was very difficult to get along with.

...............

Wu Zetian glanced at Jiang Che with satisfaction, but she didn't believe a word of his words.

It doesn't matter, as long as Jiang Che can successfully take the blame, she can stay out of it.

It must be said that Jiang Che is indeed a promising talent, and he knows how to make choices.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, Wu Zetian glanced at Haiyue and spoke softly.

"Next, I will personally instruct your young apprentice in the art of alchemy..."

"If you're interested, you can stay and observe..."

The higher you climb, the colder it gets. Haiyue was one of her few friends, and Wu Zetian was never stingy with Haiyue. She had previously gifted her several martial arts manuals and some rare treasures, so she naturally didn't mind Haiyue observing from the sidelines.

...........................................

119: So, next, I beg you, Master!

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Haiyue nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then agreed without much hesitation.

Haiyue naturally wouldn't refuse Wu Zetian's suggestion, after all, she was also very curious about Wu Zetian's alchemy skills, knowing that this empress had extremely high attainments in the art of alchemy, having immersed herself in it for a hundred years.

Moreover, she was also curious about just how terrifying Jiang Che's talent for alchemy was, and wanted to see it for herself.

Since Wu Zetian has already decided to personally teach Jiang Che, through words and deeds, it speaks volumes and shows that Jiang Che's talent has been fully recognized by her.

Otherwise, given Wu Zetian's personality, she would never have done such a thing.

...........................

Next, the Empress began to personally teach Jiang Che, explaining various profound principles of alchemy to him.

Jiang Che did not disappoint her. He was incredibly intelligent and quick to learn, mastering all the alchemy techniques without needing her to teach him anything further.

Time flies by, and before we know it, dusk is approaching. The sun is setting, the evening glow is lingering, and the sky is filled with the colors of the sunset.

Two hours later, Wu Zetian stopped her verbal instruction and looked at Jiang Che with satisfaction. She felt a little emotional and understood why Haiyue had accepted Jiang Che as her disciple.
