Chapter 157: Changing Gender, Celestial Being

Chapter 157: Changing Gender, Celestial Being

The matter of Ash's participation in the Longmen Conference is still continuing to ferment.

In the Jiuchong Palace, Chongming was dealing with memorials while asking, "Ayi, are there any outstanding figures in this Longmen Conference? No need to mention those in previous conferences."

"There are three. The first one is Jianmei from the local Fuji Sword Hall. She has an excellent talent in swordsmanship and is not inferior to her master. The second one is Calvo from the Mercenary Kingdom. He has a strong body and can become stronger with each fight. It is a permanent improvement." Li Xuanyi finished talking about the first two and hesitated for a moment when talking about the third one.

"The third one is Ash. I don't know if he is the reincarnation of an old monster. He has already started a master-level job at the age of 19."

"A nineteen-year-old master, that's really terrifying." Chongming raised his eyebrows, "But, Ash, why does this name sound familiar?"

Li Xuanyi reminded: "According to the news sent back by the undercover agent of the Demon Suppression Department, about half a year ago, a man named Yaxiu was included in Khorne's must-kill list."

"It's him?" Chongming nodded suddenly. "Now that you mention it, I'm quite curious about who he is. To be targeted by Khorne, he must be quite capable."

"I'll take a look myself tomorrow."

On the other side, in a secret room, two figures were sitting there.

The tall figure said, "You're not mistaken. Are you sure it's that Ash?"

"It can't be wrong. I checked it several times." The shorter figure nodded.

"How dare he show up?" The tall figure asked in confusion, "Don't they know that if he shows up, all the demigods in the entire Eastern Region will come to kill him?"

"This is the imperial capital." The shorter figure reminded.

The tall figure was silent. Yes, this is the imperial capital. Even if the most powerful god came to the lower world, he would be beaten back by that woman.

"Let's spread the news first." The tall figure said, "Leave the details to the big guys above, and we'll just be responsible for spreading the news."

"Yeah, that's right." The shorter figure nodded.

On the second day, the Longmen Club's 128-strong competition was held. The competition format was the same as yesterday, except that the number of places for the winning and unwinning stages was reduced by half.

When the eighteenth bell rang, Ash was the first to appear on the No. 1 ring. Just as he was about to go to sleep, he suddenly turned his head and met a pair of light red eyes.

He was familiar with this pair of eyes. They were the eyes of the Empress Chongming that he met from afar on his first day entering the imperial capital.

But after taking a look, Ash didn't care much and moved out the rocking chair to continue sleeping.

"Interesting, I didn't expect that Yaxiu and Lin Xiu are the same person."

There was a hint of amusement in the eyes of Empress Chongming. With her ability, she could naturally see that the current Yaxiu and the original Lin Xiu were the same person, and the strange young man in front of her was his true appearance.

But what really concerned her was the 100% harmony between soul and body, which could never be achieved by possession of another's body, in other words, reincarnation or original birth?
Chongming originally preferred reincarnation, but after truly understanding Ash's body, he felt that it was more like his original self.

The sword intent was so omnipresent that it penetrated heaven and earth, there was no other like it in the world, and it could be done within five fingers. The aura of the sword that controlled the heaven and earth was unmatched.

Moreover, his physique and bloodline are even more amazing, and there are no similar records in world history.

As far as she knew of the old guys, none of them had a talent comparable to his, so even if they were reincarnated and cultivated again, they would not be able to achieve such speed.

'Forget it, we'll know when we ask later.' Zhongming thought, and then said, "Ayi, send an invitation to this Yaxiu and invite him to the palace for a chat."

"Yes." Li Xuanyi nodded, and then his whole body disappeared into the shadows.

The 128-strong round is over. No one tried to test Ash today because they were not sure and the elders at home could not give a specific solution.

Ash woke up from his dream, reached into his arms and took out an invitation. There was no surprise on his face, after all, he had known it for a long time.

"Does the Empress Chongming want to see me? Let's meet. I'm quite curious about what this number one empress in the world is like."

Ash put away the chair, then took a step, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace.

He took another step, and a sense of crisis rose in his heart, but he didn't care.

The sword domain unfolded, and Ash directly resisted the overwhelming pressure and stepped to the front of the Ninth Floor Palace.

The alert of Chonglong Palace was activated instantly and then lifted quickly.

"Ya Xiu, Lin Xiu, what should I call you? The master of Wuwei Martial Arts School." Chongming said as he looked at Ya Xiu who walked in.

"Ash." Ash said, "I wonder what the Empress wants to see me about?"

He looked at the empress. She had a broad pelvis and a large breast, and looked like a woman who could bear children. As for her appearance, it was naturally extremely beautiful. There were not many women like Maria who could compare to her.

Chongming propped his head up with his hands and said, "Let me see this extraordinary genius of yours and see if you really have the ability or if you are just a show."

Ash stood there: "Now you see it?"

"Now that we haven't seen everything, why don't you take off the mask?" Chongming said.

"I'm afraid of trouble." Ash took off his mask, revealing his charming and handsome face. "You should be able to see it, why bother?"

"Sometimes, appearance is also an indispensable part." Chongming looked up and down at Yaxiu, "He really has a good appearance. No wonder you want to cover it up."

"Have you finished reading it?" Ash said, holding the mask in his hand.

Chongming said: "Tell me your purpose. Why are you participating in the Longmen Conference for no reason?"

"I need a championship title. Why, I can't participate?" Ash said.

His slender, bony hands tapped the table rhythmically, and Zhongming said, "It's not that you can't participate, but if you participate with your strength, it would be a bit of a bully."

"I would like to participate in the world's number one martial arts tournament that is held every thirty years, but unfortunately the next one is still two or three years away, and I really don't have the patience to wait." Ash shrugged.

His fingers stopped, and Chongming stood up and said, "Are you interested in becoming my husband?"

Li Xuanyi was stunned, and Yaxiu was also stunned. They couldn't help but touch their faces. Has this face become so charming?

Although Chongming was within his hunting range, Ash still shook his head and said, "Not interested."

What is an emperor's husband? To put it bluntly, he is a son-in-law. He would be crazy to give up the forest for a tree.

"That's right. A genius like you definitely doesn't want to marry into another family." Chongming wasn't surprised. She just asked, "Then put it another way. Are you willing to lend me your seed?"

"I don't want to." Yaxiu shook his head. He originally wanted to ask Chongming why he wanted to borrow his sperm, but when he thought about the fact that Chongming had no children so far, he understood why.

As for the matter of borrowing sperm, he was not willing to give his child to a stranger to raise.

"There are so many demigods in the world, why did you choose me?" Ash asked immediately.

Chongming propped up his head with his hands again: "They are either too old, too ugly, or too weak. Some of them are not even human. Of all the people in the world, you are the one I like the most."

These words made Li Xuanyi look at Yaxiu a few more times. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true that only Yaxiu best met Chongming's standards.

As for the problem of weak physique, it can be solved by using the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique.

"That's really flattering." Ash said with a bow, "But the issue of offspring doesn't affect you much, right? Why are you so anxious to find a stranger to solve it?"

"It really doesn't have much impact on me. After all, fists are power, and I have always been the biggest fist." Chongming snapped his fingers, "But I do want to have a bunch of children to keep me company, otherwise I will be a little lonely after I abdicate."

"I'm sorry I can't do anything about this." Ash put on his mask again, "Can I leave now?"

"Well, go back." The empress waved her hand.

Ash took a step forward and disappeared into the Nine-Layered Palace in the blink of an eye.

Li Xuanyi said from the side: "Your Majesty, are you really not going to keep him?"

"Keep it." Chongming flicked his sleeves. "Do you think I will let go of the prey I like?"

"But he still needs to be nurtured, at least until he has mastered the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique and has strengthened his physique to a higher level. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll crush him to death."

When Ash returned to Wuwei Martial Arts School, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as if someone was secretly lurking behind his back. However, he did not immediately suspect the Empress, but instead directed his suspicion directly at Khorne.

He did have a little idea for participating in the Longmen Conference this time, he was going to go fishing.

The Heavy Dragon Empire is one of Khorne's main targets, and there are quite a lot of cultists hiding in the country.

Not only in the country, but also around it are four corrupted places that have existed for a long time because of the fragments of the Kingdom of God, and they are always attacking the Heavy Dragon Empire.

In this case, once Ash appears, the Khorne cultists will surely attack him in droves. At that time, it will be hard to say who is the prey and who is the hunter.

In the next few days, Ash continued to participate in the Longmen Conference safely, which made some powerful people in the dark even more terrified.

They also found out through various channels that Ash was on Khorne's kill list, which meant that Ash's strength was at least at the demigod level, otherwise Khorne would not have to mobilize so many troops.

What really shocked them was Ash's age. The Empress Chongming did not stop him, which meant that Ash was indeed not an old monster who had taken over someone else's body, and he was indeed under 30 years old.

This is really shocking. After all, even if he is thirty years old, he is still twelve or thirteen years younger than the youngest demigod in history.

This made them feel helpless. With such strength, why would they participate in the Longmen Competition? Although the final reward was to choose any treasure from the national treasury, they knew that at best they could only choose a tenth-level excellent or sophisticated treasure. As for the real divine objects, they were all kept in the royal treasury.

A tenth-rank treasure is somewhat useful to a demigod, but not very useful. It is not worth losing face for this.

However, Ash has never taken face too seriously. As long as there are benefits, losing a little face is nothing.

On October 7, in the semi-finals, only Ash and three other contestants were left on the stage.

The remaining three looked at Ash who was walking slowly towards them with fear on their faces.

There is only one rule left in today's competition. Whoever defeats three opponents will be the champion, and the losers will continue to be ranked according to wins.

Ash flicked his sleeves and said, "Who will go first, or will we go together?"

"I'll go first." A blond boy stepped forward and looked at Ash with fighting spirit. He had wanted to test Ash's strength for a long time, but in order to avoid being eliminated early, he held back.

Although the Longmen Conference is a world-class event, it is ultimately held in the Chonglong Empire. The local geniuses will not go too far, but they will never make things too easy for outsiders.

This can be seen from the fact that among the three, only the blond boy is a foreigner.

"Are you sure?" There was a hint of teasing in Ash's voice, because he had already recognized who this blond boy was, Calvo, who possessed the [Ten Thousand Refined Body] and whom he had met once in the dream world.

Calvo had a bad feeling, but he mistook it for a sense of crisis. He nodded vigorously and said, "I'm sure."

The other two also stepped aside, indicating that they wanted Calvo to go first. They also wanted someone to explore the way first.

"Then don't even think about escaping this time." Ash flexed his fingers, and a playful smile appeared on his face under the mask.

As he finished speaking, the Ashman appeared in front of Calvo and punched him lightly in the abdomen.

But this was only a light blow to Ash. When the punch landed on Calvo, he suddenly felt his intestines were tied into a knot.

Calvo's face began to change drastically. It wasn't because of the pain. Since he was a child, he had been beaten and had long possessed unparalleled resistance to pain. It was like a chicken starting to grow in reverse!

[Male public enemy]!
This feeling made him immediately know what he had encountered. He still dared not forget his trip to the dream world two years ago.

Recalling Ash's tone just now, Calvo couldn't help but said in shock: "It's you!"

"It's me." Ash nodded slightly, "Nice to meet you again, Calvo."

Calvo, however, showed no joy at seeing his old friend. Instead, he made a quick decision and was ready to shout, "I give up!"

If you lose, you lose. It's just a game. There's no need to turn yourself into a woman just for a win.

But before he could say anything, a hand covered his face and pressed it.

boom!
Calvo fell headfirst into the ground. Ash showed a nasty smile on his face: "I told you, next time we meet, I will never let you escape!"

In his molten gold eyes, black and white were distinct, each accounting for 50%. It was obvious that Calvo was not a good person. He was not a big villain, but he had done some minor evil.

Since it is not a good bird, it should be of no use.

boom! boom! boom!
There was a sudden sound of frequent collisions on the field, and figures flashed by at such a fast speed that no one could see clearly.

When Calvo landed, people found that he was swollen.

At first I thought it was just swelling of the body, but when I looked closely, I found that was not the case because those two places were too swollen.

The seven-foot tall man has turned into a seven-foot tall scholar!

Looking at the curvy "girl" on the field, most of the men on the field felt a chill.

The Calvo girl stood up, looked at Ash with resentment, then took out a bottle of water from her space ring and drank it.

This is a sex-changing potion. After meeting Ash, he has been thinking about how to deal with the skill [Male Public Enemy]. The final solution is the sex-changing potion. If a man can change into a woman, then a woman can change into a man.

Ash did not stop it, but instead crossed his arms over his chest and watched the scene quietly.

After Calvo drank the potion, she waited for her body to change, but after waiting for a long time, she still didn't see the changes she wanted.

"Damn, this damn profiteer actually sold me fake medicine!" Calvo spoke angrily, his voice hoarse but with a feminine charm.

"The potion is real, it just doesn't work on you." Ash said calmly at this time.

"What have you done again!" Calvo said madly. If the beating just now hadn't made her realize the gap between her and Ash, she would definitely die together with Ash!
"I just beat you up." Ash raised two fingers, "But it's not just the male public enemy you think that's effective. There's another inherent skill, the female nemesis."

Female Nemesis? Calvo was stunned. Just by the name, he knew that this was the same skill as the male Public Enemy.

Ash bent two fingers and said, "In other words, your body has been transformed into a celestial being in order to prevent you from being restrained by both male public enemies and female nemesis. Naturally, the gender-changing potion is useless to you."

The celestial being is a special individual of the Homo sapiens species. Its biggest characteristic is that it is asexual. If it is asexual, how can it change its gender?

"From this point of view, you should thank me. From now on, you will no longer have the weaknesses of men and women."

"Bullshit! Change me quickly!" Calvo said angrily. Whether it was a female or neither female, it didn't want to be one!

"I can't change back." Ash spread his hands. "You have to discuss this with your own body. It's it that needs to change, not me. I just beat you up."

"But if you want to change back, I can show you a way." Ash said, "Find a celestial being who likes you. Celestial beings are special individuals who can change their gender according to the wishes of their spouses."

"You'll remember this grudge!" Calvo let out a long roar and rushed out of Jiulongtai. He was too embarrassed to stay here.

Ash shrugged and looked at the other two, "You guys wanna come?"

They both took a step back, shaking their heads faster than a fan.

Although they already knew from the conversation just now that Calvo became like this because of his skills, this scene was indeed too lethal to them.

Even if there is a slight possibility, they don't want to become celestial beings.

"Then go fight among yourselves," said Ash.

The two men started fighting immediately as if they had been granted amnesty, fearing that Ash would come and interfere.

{Achievement: [I am the Champion] achieved, reward: achievement points*10}
{Activate achievement · [Number One in the World]: Become the well-deserved number one in a certain aspect.}
{【Invincible】, 【I am the Champion】 and 【Invincible at the same level】 are linked, reward: Divinity*1}
The Longmen Conference ended, and Ash naturally won the championship.

'To be the best in the world is a really challenging achievement.'

Ash glanced at the information and then followed the officials to the treasury to select the prizes.

After all, it's free, so it would be a waste not to take it.

The Chonglong Empire is worthy of being called a great empire. Most of the treasures that are priceless in the outside world are available here.

Yaxiu was thinking about what to take. He didn't need weapons or armor, as the Du Yi and Yunluo suits were enough. He didn't need magical weapons either, as the second body was equivalent to an omnipotent magical weapon. As for potions, there were very few potions in the world that could work on him. Even if the Chonglong Empire had some in its treasury, the effect would be disappointing and he would not need to use them.

You can't just take the money, that would be too much of a loss.

Ash's eyes wandered over one item after another, and finally landed on a holy skeleton, which was the skeleton of an angel, and a golden one at that.

"That's it." Ash took the bone, which was just enough to change Maria's bloodline.

Blood and bones. Once bones are dealt with, blood is much easier. After all, you won't die without some blood, but you will definitely die without bones.

'When you go to the Northern Territory, you can stop by the Heavenly Realm and collect some blood.'

Ash thought.

The passage to heaven was in the central area, so it wouldn't be a big deal for him to just take a slight turn.

 Thanks to [Ant who wants to be lazy] for the 100-point reward
  Thanks to [Ye Yang Sui Feng Wu] for the 100-point reward
