After the singing and dancing had temporarily ceased and the immortals and gods had left, only the Queen Mother and Li Daoqiang were left in the palace.
Even Taishang Laojun and the Barefoot Immortal have disappeared.
"I hope my Taoist friends won't be surprised if the hospitality is not good enough." The Queen Mother smiled politely.
"What are you talking about, Madam? The banquet of immortals and gods is indeed different from the ordinary world. It has opened my eyes." Li Daoqiang shook his head and said sincerely.
The Queen Mother smiled and thought Li Daoqiang was being polite.
At their level of existence, any banquet is nothing more than a trivial matter.
"My fellow Taoist is here to travel to the God Realm. Why don't you stay in my heaven for a little longer so that my heaven can properly entertain your fellow Taoist." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Li Daoqiang hesitated for a while, and after taking a few breaths, he nodded in agreement and said, "Then it would be disrespectful to bother you."
"That's how it should be." The Queen Mother seemed a little happier.
After talking about some ordinary things, the Queen Mother asked someone to take Li Daoqiang to his resting place.
The palace became quiet.
After a while, three figures appeared here.
It is none other than Taishang Laojun, the Barefoot Immortal, and the Towering King Li Tianwang.
"What do you think?" The Queen Mother looked at the three of them and said calmly.
"I'm afraid City Lord Li has another purpose." Seeing the Taishang Laojun looking deep in thought, with no intention of speaking first, the Barefoot Immortal said firmly.
"Yes, I also feel that he has a purpose for my heaven, so I need to be careful." King Li Tianwang of Tota nodded seriously.
"If his identity is true, then he must be a rare hero.
This can be seen from his decisive action to stop the Yin Eclipse King.
And he chose to offend King Yin Eclipse and make friends with me, Heavenly Court.
What would be his purpose?
Are you simply making friends with me in heaven?" Taishang Laojun stroked his beard and said meaningfully.
The three Queen Mothers were each thinking deeply.
"What do you mean, Laojun?" Queen Mother said with respect.
"I think that, regardless of what his purpose is, as long as he has no sinister intentions towards our Heavenly Court, we might as well try our best to make good friends with him.
It would be best if you could confirm what he said.
Perhaps, he will be my ally in heaven." Taishang Laojun solemnly said.
The Barefoot Immortal and King Li Tian all nodded thoughtfully.
The Queen Mother nodded and said seriously: "I will follow what the old gentleman said."
"How is the investigation of the Broom Star incident?" The Queen Mother spoke again, with a hint of coldness in her tone.
"Go back to your Majesty, I just personally investigated and found out that the broom star is controlled by the Yin Eclipse King.
It should not be his intention to deceive the seventh princess.
However, whether he is related to the Yin Eclipse King requires further investigation." The Barefoot Immortal said solemnly.
The Queen Mother nodded and said majestically: "King Yin Eclipse's tentacles unknowingly reached into my heaven.
This kind of thing will never be allowed to happen again, and everyone will be investigated secretly."
"yes."
····
I stayed in Heaven for more than ten days. Under the guidance of people from Heaven, I saw many strange scenery.
There was also a brief discussion between the Queen Mother and the Supreme Lord.
I formally met and communicated with the seven princesses again.
On this day, Li Daoqiang bid farewell to the Queen Mother.
"Why don't you, fellow Taoist, stay a little longer in the Heavenly Court? But my Heavenly Court is not well-received?" the Queen Mother asked with concern.
"The empress is joking. It's just that my foundation in the human world doesn't allow me to leave for too long, so it's time to go back." Li Daoqiang said with a smile.
When the Queen Mother heard about it, she couldn't persuade her to stay.
"In this case, I can't keep my Taoist friends anymore.
It’s just that if I have time in the future, I hope that fellow Taoists can come to visit me in heaven more often." Queen Mother said sincerely.
"Definitely." Li Daoqiang agreed.
He paused, hesitated, and then said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, after staying in heaven for some time, I had an idea and wanted to discuss it with you."
The Queen Mother mentioned it in her mind, vaguely feeling that she could touch Li Daoqiang's true purpose.
At that moment, he said with a friendly smile: "Fellow Taoist, please tell me."
"My Lady, today in the six realms, there are many heroes, who are constantly conquering each other.
I built a black dragon city in the human world to control several realms.
If you ask yourself, it can be considered as having great ambitions, wanting to quell the war and make all races of heaven and earth coexist in peace."
Li Daoqiang's expression was solemn, his tone was sonorous and powerful, and he showed an aura of ambition in front of the Queen Mother without concealing it.
The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly vacant, but she was not surprised and just watched quietly.
"Unfortunately, the higher you stand and the more you know, the more you understand the unfathomable depth of these six realms.
I know very well that I alone cannot do much, and it would not be surprising if I meet someone more powerful one day and die.
Therefore, I want to form an alliance with the Queen Mother." Li Daoqiang looked at the Queen Mother solemnly and sincerely.
The Queen Mother's eyes fluctuated slightly, and she muttered: "Form an alliance?"
"Yes, the two families have formed an alliance and will advance and retreat together.
If we encounter a strong enemy, the two families will live and die together." Li Daoqiang said firmly.
The Queen Mother's eyes flickered to her subordinates, and she fell into deep thought, speechless for a moment.
Li Daoqiang did not force him and waited patiently.
After a long while, the Queen Mother spoke and said in a serious voice: "Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid this is not fair to you."
It goes without saying that the overall strength of the divine world is compared with that of the human world.
In other words, the powerful enemies that Heaven will encounter in the future will definitely be much stronger than those Li Daoqiang encountered in the human world.
If you encounter a strong enemy, the two families will share life and death.
There is no doubt that this is good for heaven.
“There is no question of fairness or unfairness, only whether you are willing or not.
The strength of our Black Dragon City is indeed not as good as that of Heaven, so we should show more sincerity.
Besides, I don’t want to hide it from my empress, if your heavenly court encounters a strong enemy, I don’t know how many years it will take.
And before that, if our Black Dragon City can draw on the power of Heaven, its development speed will surely reach several levels.
Opportunities and crises always coexist in this world.
Although my stay in Heaven was short, I could still see a lot. I think your empress is a worthy Taoist friend.
Therefore, I want to form an alliance with the empress." Li Daoqiang said frankly.
The Queen Mother looked deeply at Li Daoqiang, her guard relaxed a bit.
No matter what, the magnanimity and sincerity shown by this person made it impossible for her to feel bad.
I'm still a little excited about forming an alliance.
but·····
"The matter of forming an alliance is of great importance and cannot be decided overnight by my fellow Taoist friends and me.
This matter needs long-term consideration." The Queen Mother said slowly.
"Of course, I also know that it would be a bit arrogant to raise this matter rashly.
What's more, if your Majesty doesn't know the specific situation of Black Dragon City, how can she make a decision?
It might as well be like this. Your Majesty will first send someone to our Black Dragon City to learn about the situation in our Black Dragon City, and we can discuss it later. How about that?" Li Daoqiang suggested in a very considerate manner.
Of course he knew the Queen Mother's concerns.
The Queen Mother's understanding of him at this time was all based on his words.
It's strange that she can trust him without conducting on-the-spot investigation.
As expected, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "That's fine."
