Chapter 907
After handing the Yin-Yang Dragon-phoenix Fruit and Bodhi Fruit to Wang Yuan, Jian Wushuang immediately found a secret chamber and began a closed-door cultivation .

In the secret chamber, he sat cross-legged alone, and his face was unusually serious .
“In three years, the Selection Ceremony will be held . I’m bound to have a direct conflict with the Xia Clan, even Empress Leng . The result of the Selection Ceremony can’t be predicted and whether I’ll survive is unknown . But before the Selection Ceremony, every improvement I make to my strength, will increase my odds .
“The most important thing right now is to break through to the Eternal Realm!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes grew cold .
He hadn’t been in a hurry to break through before . But now everything was different .
After all, he only had three years to prepare .
In three years, he might have to face Empress Leng and the Xia Clan, both huge forces .
“Let’s get started,” Jian Wushuang closed his eyes and began to accumulate Spiritual Power .
He had already reached the requirements to breakthrough and realized the World Dao and the Slaughter Dao at the ninth level Occult .
Everything was ready . The next thing he had to do was accumulate spiritual power to break through the bottleneck in his body .
In the secret chamber, time passed .

While Jian Wushuang was in the closed-door cultivation, Leng Rushuang was staying in the farthest end of the palace of the Tang of the East .
She lived in a courtyard enclosed completely by Restriction .
She sat quietly, indifferent as usual, looking like a fairy .
Her face was paler than it had been 200 years ago .
A beautiful enchanting figure was slowly making its way over .
“Your Majesty . ”
The maidservants saluted respectfully at once . Leng Rushuang, however, was indifferent .
“All of you can leave . ” Empress Leng waved her sleeves and the maidservants left .
Only Empress Leng and Leng Rushuang remained .
“In three years, the Selection Ceremony will begin . Everything has been prepared for you already, except yourself,” Empress Leng said coldly .

“It doesn’t matter whether I’m ready or not, does it?” Leng Rushuang said .
The Empress glared at her and said in a low voice, “You should have been married to the Xia Clan a thousand years ago . I have tolerated you for a thousand years and that’s more than enough, not to mention that I’m not forcing you to marry the Xia Clan now . Instead, I’m holding a Selection Ceremony for you to choose the best young man to be your husband . What on earth do you have to complain about?”
“I’m not unsatisfied . I just hope that at the Selection Ceremony, you, my mother, can choose my husband according to the rules of the ceremony,” Leng Rushuang said indifferently .
“Nonsense . We are inviting all the experts from the many different forces of the Eternal World . How can I back out in front of so many people? But you, you are the one that should follow your words . I’m afraid that the final winner will be the master of the Xia Clan, and you cannot refuse to marry at that time,” Empress Leng said .
“Don’t worry, if he wins at the Selection Ceremony, I will marry him,” Leng Rushuang said .
“Good,” Empress Leng nodded . But the next moment, she said in a soft voice, “Shuang’er, I’m doing this for you . The master of the Xia Clan, his character, appearance and talent strength, is the best in the Eternal World, almost flawless . Why does such a husband not deserve you?
“As for the poison in your body, although we couldn’t find the Yin-Yang Dragon-phoenix Fruit to refine the Crape Myrtle Elixir, I have sent people to find other elixirs to suppress the poison . You can rest assured . And as long as my plan with the National Master is realized, I can reach a new level and help you quite easily .
“At that time, if you think that the master of the Xia Clan doesn’t suit your appetite, just tell me, and I will kill him and destroy the Xia Clan . And I won’t stop you from choosing someone else to be your husband . However, please tolerate this vexation for now . ”
“Tolerate this vexation? Humph . Or in other words, you just want to use this marriage to placate the Xia Clan and buy time for your and the National Master’s plan . Mother, do you think my father would agree to this?” Leng Rushuang said coldly .
“Emperor Xiao? Even if he knew, what could he do? Win and you are king, lose and you are the outcast . Now I am the queen of the Tang of the East . The Mansion Masters of 36 prefectures of the Tang of the East only admire me as the queen . Who cares about Emperor Xiao?” Empress Leng said with a sneer, “but there is no sense in telling you . Be prepared, three years will pass quickly . ”

After saying that, Empress Leng left and disappeared from the courtyard .
Leng Rushuang was alone again, sitting in the courtyard . But on her cool face, a complicated emotion had appeared .
“Three years… will he come?”
Leng Wushuang immediately thought of a man . She gathered her consciousness and a figure suddenly appeared next to her .
It was a dirty girl in a tattered black coat, with big eyes, and a touch of wit on her face .
“Xue’er, go see that man for me,” Leng Rushuang said coldly .
“No problem,” the dirty girl said, blinking her eyes and nodding . Then she bounced vivaciously out of the courtyard .
There was a Restriction around the courtyard; no one could go in or out at will . However, the Restriction seemed to be of no use to the dirty girl . The palace was guarded heavily and full of experts, but it seemed that no one could see her .
The dirty girl bounced and left the courtyard quickly, and then, she left the palace .
If Jian Wushuang saw the dirty girl, he would recognize her at a glance as someone he had seen in the Ancient World, Leng Ruxue .
She was Leng Rushuang’s younger sister .
At least, that’s what he thought .
However, if Jian Wushuang were to have witnessed the scene in the courtyard where Leng Ruxue came out from Leng Rushuang’s body, he wouldn’t think so .
Leng Rushuang and Leng Ruxue were one person!
In the Imperial City, Jian Wushuang had been in the secret chamber for a month in a closed-door cultivation .
He had tried to break through the bottleneck again and again . Today, he finally opened his eyes .
“I made it!” he said excitedly, eyes shining .
“The third step of the Heaven-defying Four Steps of the Heavenly Creation Skill, the Everlasting Realm, I made it!”
After staying in the second step of the Deification Realm for hundreds of years, Jian Wushuang had finally broken through .
