Chapter 229: I'll Show Su Changyu What The Emperor's Grandson Is
"Ah! How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?"
At the entrance of the Zaixin Hall, there was a miserable shriek.
The voice was rather puerile too.
Fang Li yelled out loud. He had indeed suffered several punches from Su Changyu who went quite hard on him.
He lacked moral ethics too.
He suddenly launched a sneak attack without giving him a chance to react at all.
"I'm the grandson of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, how dare you hit me?"
Su Changyu was carrying Fang Li, whose face was swollen and bruised, in his hand. He was hollering furiously with anger in his eyes, wishing he could kill Su Changyu.
Unfortunately…
Su Changyu had already started beating him.
Su Changyu would stay silent and be subservient to the strong.
To the weak, he would strike him hard without compromising.
To be honest, it had been a long time since Su Changyu enjoyed himself so much.
He had already forgotten how many years it had been since he had beaten someone up like this.
Indeed, beating others up was an enjoyable thing.
Su Changyu threw lots of punches and kicks at Fang Li without sparing any strength, all of which landed on the latter accurately.
As the grandson of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, he was definitely the most precious and important person to the emperor. His father was the Crown Prince of the dynasty who would get chided by the emperor every now and then but Fang Li was different.
Both the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty pampered him and doted on him greatly.
In the entire Great Qian Dynasty, no one dared to be disrespectful to him or disobey his orders. He would always be the one to hit others and no one had beaten him up before.
The only time he suffered a beating was when his father hit him thrice with a whip to punish him for being mischievous, but in the end, his father was hung on the tree and got beaten up by the emperor instead.
In other words, no one in the entire Great Qian Dynasty dared to provoke or hit him.
Yet, he met someone who dared to hit him today.
'I'm really unlucky.'
With that thought, Fang Li knew very well that Su Changyu had already gone berserk by hitting him.
It was as if he had never hit anyone before in his life. As Su Changyu continued to hit Fang Li, his punches became increasingly fast and brutal.
If this went on, Fang Li would be in a terrible state even if he didn't die.
Hence, he hurriedly cried out.
"Stop hitting me, stop!"
"Please, stop hitting me!"
"Brother, Sir, please stop hitting me."
"I'm really going to die if you keep hitting me. I'll call you Boss, okay?"
"Just let me go."
Fang Li cried and screamed while begging for mercy, in hopes that Su Changyu would let him off.
Besides, Su Changyu was having a whale of a time while hitting him. Why did Fang Li suddenly beg for mercy?
However, he looked at Fang Li and realized that his face was indeed bruised and swollen. If he continued to hit him, he might really die.
He found it quite a pity.
He was a little upset.
After all, he had finally met someone he could beat up and yet, he just surrendered.
There was no point at all.
Bang!
Su Changyu casually tossed Fang Li onto the ground and maintained a calm expression.
"You must learn to respect others in the future, do you understand?"
Su Changyu's voice was calm as he stared at Fang Li composedly.
"Got it, got it. Brother, I understand."
Fang Li hung his head low and cried with pain all over his body.
"Okay, go and reflect on yourself."
After a fight, he felt much better.
Su Changyu stood with his hands by his side and looked into the distance instead of continuing to bully the child.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
'Indeed, I'm very strong.'
'I managed to hit him to the point of being unable to retaliate.'
'Oh, Su Changyu.'
'You're such a strongman.'
Su Changyu walked into the Zaixin Hall, leaving behind Fang Li who was battered and bruised.
Xu Jin, who was in the dark, was already dumbfounded.
'Fang Li.'
'The grandson of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty actually got beaten up by Su Changyu?'
'This must be the greatest joke of the world.'
Even the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, who was Fang Li's biological father, would be taught a hard lesson if he dared to hit Fang Li, let alone Su Changyu.
However, Su Changyu actually dared to hit the grandson of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
If word about it were to get out, the entire Great Qian Dynasty would shake.
Xu Jin swallowed his saliva.
He felt that he was about to create trouble.
Initially, he thought that Su Changyu would just end up disturbing the empress while she was praying so that he would end up being chased out of the Great Qian Dynasty.
That was what Xu Jin thought.
He would be pleased as long as Su Changyu left the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, he didn't expect Su Changyu to dig his own grave and beat the emperor's grandson up after offending him.
The consequences of that were purely unimaginable.
'It's over, it's over.'
'He's going to be in hot soup.'
Xu Jin felt that Su Changyu had made a big mistake, and at the same time, he knew that Princess Xu Yang would definitely suspect that he was the culprit.
When the time came, it would definitely lead to a huge trouble.
'What do I do? What do I do!?!'
Xu Jin couldn't help but get nervous.
Not far away, Fang Li suddenly cried loudly again.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
He was the grandson of the emperor, and yet he got beaten up so badly.
Even his father had never hit him that hard.
He felt upset.
He really wanted to cry.
Fang Li's weeping got louder and louder.
He felt more and more aggrieved too.
"No!"
At this moment, Fang Li sniffled and said with bloodshot eyes, "I'm going to see Grandpa. I must take revenge and let this guy die a horrible death."
Pulling a long face, Fang Li walked into the distance.
At this moment, Xu Jin started tearing up in the dark too.
He felt that Su Changyu had caused huge trouble.
Of all people, Su Changyu beat up the grandson of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
The consequences were going to be terrible.
It was over for him this time.
For a moment, Xu Jin didn't know what to say.
He felt his scalp tingling and turning numb.
He really didn't know what to do next.
However, Xu Jin knew that if he did not come out and say something, there might really be greater trouble.
Thinking of this, Xu Jin hurriedly came out of the dark.
He arrived at the place where Fang Li would definitely pass by, in advance.
"Your Highness, what happened to you?" Xu Jin immediately asked when he saw Fang Li.
His eyes were full of shock and bewilderment.
"It's none of your business."
Fang Li was full of anger when he saw Xu Jin.
Xu Jin was speechless.
The blunt and harsh reply left Xu Jin at a loss for words.
However, he thought that Fang Li's reply was reasonable. Fang Li was already covered in bruises and Xu Jin was just asking for trouble by asking him such a question.
"Your Highness, did you get beaten up?"
Xu Jin asked after giving it some thought.
Fang Li said, "Shut up if you don't know what to say, stop bothering me here."
Fang Li chided, feeling peeved and upset. He was covered in bruises after suffering a beating. In the end, Xu Jin just had to state the obvious.
How could he not be angry?
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I'm just looking for someone, I didn't realize. Your Highness, who would dare to offend you in this palace?"
Xu Jin panicked a little. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those things.
"Go look for the person you want to then, what are you doing here?"
Fang Li cursed.
However, in the next moment, Fang Li seemed to realize something and couldn't help but look at Xu Jin.
"Who's the person you're looking for? Is he handsome or not?"
Fang Li asked with a serious expression.
"Your Highness, the person I'm looking for is Su Changyu. He's the savior of Princess Xu Yang. In terms of looks, he can't be compared to me."
"Your Highness, have you seen my friend?"
Xu Jin asked seriously.
However, after hearing these words, Fang Li shook his head immediately.
"If he looks better than you, I haven't seen him."
Fang Li said straightforwardly.
Although he hated Su Changyu, he had to admit that Su Changyu was quite handsome.
Hence, he told Xu Jin that he hadn't seen his friend.
Xu Jin was speechless.
'You're not that good at talking either.'
Xu Jin was perplexed. 'Am I worse than Su Changyu?'
'How am I less good-looking than him?'
'Your Highness, you have to get your eyes treated.'
Despite feeling indignant, Xu Jin nevertheless smiled awkwardly.
"Your Highness, I remembered wrongly. My friend is very handsome and he's definitely not an ordinary person."
Xu Jin bit the bullet and said so because that was the only thing he could say now.
"How handsome is he?"
Fang Li asked curiously.
"Uh… He's about as handsome as you."
Xu Jin answered.
In an instant, Fang Li couldn't help but nod hastily.
"Yes, yes, yes, he's the one."
"It's this person called Su Changyu."
"Great, I didn't expect you to actually know him."
Fang Li yelled agitatedly without a care for his pride or image at all.
That left Xu Jin at a loss for words.
To be honest, he had always felt that he was thick-skinned and shameless enough but he didn't expect Fang Li to be even more shameless than him.
'He's really… the most shameless person I've ever met.'
However, Xu Jin had to force himself to continue with it.
"Yes, Your Highness, that person is called Su Changyu."
"This time, Princess Xu Yang left the palace and encountered danger when she was outside. Fortunately, Senior Su rescued her and resolved the crisis."
"That's why Princess Xu Yang invited him into the palace, but I didn't expect him to hit you. He's really evil."
Xu Jin scolded indignantly.
However, Fang Li ignored Xu Jin and instead said with anger written all over his face,
"I don't care who he is, since I know where he comes from, it'll be easier for me to find him."
Fang Li clenched his fist with his eyes full of hatred.
He was the most noble grandson of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Yet, he received a beating for nothing. He naturally wouldn't let Su Changyu off.
"Yes, yes, you mustn't let him off the hook. But Your Highness, Senior Su Changyu has saved your sister, Princess Xu Yang, no matter what. If you punish him, won't it undermine the might and prestige of the Great Qian Dynasty?"
"Why don't we just chase him out of the palace?"
Xu Jin asked. Given Fang Li's character, Su Changyu would definitely be in huge trouble.
That was not something he wanted to see.
After all, Princess Xu Yang had asked him to take care of Su Changyu, so if anything went wrong, he would be doomed too.
Having Su Changyu kicked out was the best outcome.
Unfortunately, Xu Jin had underestimated Fang Li's character.
"Kick him out of the palace? He beat me up and all he gets is to get kicked out of the palace? Is there such a good deal in this world?"
"Xu Jin, did you say that I'll be tarnishing the prestige of the Great Qian Dynasty if I punish him?"
"Have you ever thought that he has done exactly that by hurting me?"
Fang Li hollered furiously.
He vented all his anger on Xu Jin.
The latter could not put his misery into words.
"But… but… but he's Princess Xu Yang's guest."
Xu Jin said.
However, Fang Li sneered after hearing that.
"So what?"
"What can Ninth Sister do? Whoever offends me in the Great Qian Dynasty will have to die."
At this point, Fang Li couldn't help but continue coldly.
"I won't let this matter go just like that."
"I must let Su Changyu know what an emperor's grandson is like."
After saying these words, Fang Li walked towards the south to look for his grandfather.
Indeed, he couldn't let the matter rest.
Looking at Fang Li who left, Xu Jin felt really upset too.
He was perplexed. Of all people, he just had to provoke Su Changyu.
'It's over for me.'
'It's over for me.'
Xu Jin grimaced in misery, feeling like he was in hot soup.
At this moment, in the Zaixin Hall.
A nobly-dressed woman was kneeling in front of the god statue.
Her clothes were luxurious and she was elegant, exuding a tender and benevolent vibe.
She was the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, Chu Rouyun.
She was kneeling in front of the god statue and chanting some ancient sutras piously.
Some time later, Chu Rouyun took a deep breath and placed the ancient sutra on the ground before staring at it quietly.
After a long time, Chu Rouyun took out another item.
It was an ordinary-looking jade pendant that was dim and lackluster.
However, it was the most precious thing to Chu Rouyun.
It was given to her by Princess Changling.
The jade pendant seemed dim, but it was an ancestral jade pendant that belonged to Princess Changling.
Legend had it that it contained a shocking secret.
However, Chu Rouyun didn't care about the shocking secret.
She just hoped that she could reunite with the Tenth Prince.
He was the child of her sister.
At the thought of this, Chu Rouyun couldn't help but be sad.
She would always remember how she was ostracized by countless people when she just entered the palace and was almost killed.
If it wasn't for Princess Changling who stepped in to help her, she might have died a long time ago, let alone become the empress.
However, the most important thing was their friendship.
She was very close to Princess Changling and although they were not biological sisters, they were closer than biological sisters.
When she learned of Princess Changling's death, she was devastated and heartbroken.
Even after more than 20 years, she had never gotten over it.
There was another person who was as miserable as her, and that was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Sister Changling."
"Where is your child?"
"I've been searching for over two decades but I still couldn't find your son."
"But don't worry, I'll find your child one day."
"If I find your child, I will definitely take care of him and dote on him more than my own."
Chu Rouyun muttered softly.
In fact, she had already said those words countless times.
However, after searching for more than twenty years, she indeed hadn't been able to find the child.
Neither the Great Qian Dynasty nor the Great Xia Dynasty could find the Tenth Prince.
That also meant that the Tenth Prince was most likely really dead.
However, no one could be sure before they saw his corpse.
No one could guarantee it.
That was the last thing that kept her going.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
It broke the silence in the hall.
"Is there someone?"
The voice wasn't too loud but it broke the serenity.
At this moment, Chu Rouyun couldn't help but turn around.
She looked in the direction of the voice.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Rouyun was stunned.

Chapter 230: Is Your Name Changyu? Just Call Me Aunt Rouyun
In the Zaixin Hall.
It was a shrine where the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty went to pray.
Everyone in the Great Qian Dynasty knew that no one was allowed to disturb the Empress when she was praying.
However, at this moment, a figure appeared in Zaixin Hall.
At the same time, there was a soft voice that broke the silence of the hall.
"Is there someone?"
A voice sounded.
In an instant, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, Chu Rouyun, couldn't help but turn around.
She looked in the direction of the voice.
Soon, a face appeared before her.
In an instant, Chu Rouyun, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, was stunned.
Dumbfounded, she looked at the man in front of her.
He was handsome.
He was incredibly handsome.
However, she wasn't shocked only because of how good-looking he was.
Instead, it was because he looked very similar to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty in his younger days.
In fact, for a moment, Chu Rouyun even thought that the person in front of her was the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, the difference was that although the man in front of her resembled the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, his temperament was very much like Princess Changling.
If it was a woman and not a man, she would have thought that Princess Changling had returned.
One's appearance could be changed.
However, a person's aura could not be changed.
The more she looked at him, the more she felt that his aura was similar to Princess Changling's.
At this moment, Su Changyu, who appeared in the hall, seemed a little awkward after seeing the noble-looking woman in front of him.
He was a little curious and wondered if he had disturbed her.
However, after walking for more than an hour, he still couldn't find the way back.
That made Su Changyu vexed.
Although it seemed a little out of the blue, he couldn't help but ask, "Where is Princess Xu Yang's bedchamber?"
Su Changyu asked with a smile.
His voice made the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty snap back to her senses.
However, in the next moment, something that made her even more shocked happened.
The jade pendant in her hand, which was originally dim and lackluster, emitted a faint light at this moment.
This!
Chu Rouyun was stunned.
For the past 20 years, the jade pendant had been lackluster and the only time it lit up was more than 20 years ago.
When Princess Changling handed the jade pendant to her, Chu Rouyun never thought that it would light up again after more than two decades.
She was really astonished.
At the same time, she stared at Su Changyu.
Sensing her gaze, Su Changyu felt a little awkward.
'I might be being a little presumptuous but she shouldn't look down on me like that.'
'If you don't like it, I'll leave. Why do you have to look at me like that?'
At the thought of this, Su Changyu turned around to leave.
'I shall run away first.'
However, just when Su Changyu was ready to leave, Chu Rouyun immediately spoke up to stop him.
"Wait a minute."
Chu Rouyun immediately stood up and stopped Su Changyu.
In an instant, Su Changyu couldn't help but frown.
'Householder, what are you doing?'
'Don't you know that men should abstain from being too physically intimate with other women? You're decades older than I am. Must you be so direct?'
Su Changyu frowned.
However, the latter seemed extremely excited.
"Who are you?"
"Why did you appear here?"
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty asked Su Changyu with a strange expression on her beautiful face.
Sensing how agitated she was, Su Changyu couldn't help but feel confused.
'Why do the people of the palace always like to ask me where I'm from?'
'Can't you ask something else?'
'Is it so important where I come from?'
'I'm not an assassin, so I must be a person of some status since I can enter the Great Qian Dynasty palace so openly.'
Su Changyu was furious too.
The main reason was that he met Fang Li in the beginning and now he met a random woman who asked him such strange questions. How could he not be frustrated?
However, despite feeling frustrated, Su Changyu didn't lose his temper because he didn't know how to.
Besides, Su Changyu wouldn't bully her even if she was unruly to him.
There were two types of people he wouldn't bully.
The elderly.
And women.
Besides, Chu Rouyun also felt that she was being a little rude so she tried her best to calm herself down.
It was no wonder that she was so excited. After all, Su Changyu's appearance resembled the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and his aura was very much like that of Princess Changling.
That made her suspect that Su Changyu was the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, the son of Princess Changling.
However, it all happened too suddenly.
She had searched for two decades and the emperor of Great Qian Dynasty had even used the country's power to search for the Tenth Prince but to no avail.
Yet, he suddenly appeared in front of her.
That made Chu Rouyun stunned.
However, when she realized that her question might have been too out of the blue, Chu Rouyun took a deep breath and then looked at Su Changyu.
She said slowly, "You look very much like an old friend of mine. In a moment of panic, I lost my composure, please forgive me."
Chu Rouyun was indeed worthy of being the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty as she managed to resolve the awkwardness with a few gentle words.
Su Changyu was a little curious.
'I look very much like an old friend of hers?'
'Do I have a doppelganger in this world?'
'Are you lying to me?'
Su Changyu obviously didn't believe Chu Rouyun. In fact, he even subconsciously felt that she was probably attracted by his handsome good looks.
He thought that she probably wanted him to marry her daughter.
'Ah, such poor acting skills.'
After understanding this, Su Changyu looked much calmer.
Most importantly, such incidents had happened way too frequently in the past.
'Didn't Old Xia and Old Xuan behave in the same way?'
'This is pointless.'
At this moment, Chu Rouyun immediately realized what Su Changyu was wearing. Women were very sensitive to clothes in the first place.
She saw at a glance that Su Changyu's clothes were produced by the royals of the Great Xia Dynasty.
At the thought of this, Chu Rouyun couldn't help but frown.
'Why is Su Changyu wearing clothes made by the imperial palace?'
The clothes made by the royals usually wouldn't be given to others as rewards. Only the emperor, princes, and imperial consorts were fit to wear them.
The princesses and their husbands would also qualify but the thing was, Chu Rouyun had never seen Su Changyu before.
"Little friend, are you a royal of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Chu Rouyun asked Su Changyu that question because she couldn't imagine it.
"I'm from the Great Xia Dynasty, but I'm not a royal."
Su Changyu didn't want to answer at first, but when he thought about the fact that she wanted to ask him more questions, he decided to answer her first.
"Not a royal? But…"
Chu Rouyun was about to ask Su Changyu about the clothes that he was wearing but he spoke up before she did.
"Are you trying to ask about the clothes I'm wearing?"
Su Changyu's tone was calm.
In Chu Rouyun's eyes, Su Changyu's aloof aura was very similar to that of Princess Changling.
However, Princess Changling wasn't aloof in the sense that she was condescending, but rather, she seemed quite enigmatic.
On the other hand, Su Changyu's aloofness was like that of a supreme expert, but she had to admit that the two of them were very similar.
Hence, the more she looked at Su Changyu, the more she felt that he was similar to Princess Changling.
The more she looked at him, the more she liked him because she felt that he was like her kin.
However, she still wasn't certain if Su Changyu was the Tenth Prince or not, though she reckoned that he was probably the Tenth Prince.
"Yes, why are you wearing the clothes of the royals of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Chu Rouyun asked.
Her eyes were full of curiosity.
"This is a gift from a friend."
Su Changyu answered after thinking about it. However, he didn't mention who it was.
"Friend? What's your friend's name?"
She continued to ask.
She was extremely curious.
That made Su Changyu find it a little strange.
'Why are you asking this question?'
'Why are you asking about that?'
'Why do you have so many questions?'
'Do you harbor any evil intentions against me?'
Su Changyu frowned.
After thinking about it, he decided not to tell the truth.
He decided that he had to keep some things a secret.
It was taught to him by the Sect Leader.
"I don't know what his name is but I call him Old Xia."
Su Changyu answered calmly.
He didn't say that it was given to him by Old Xuan and simply said Old Xia, thinking that it was about the same anyway.
As soon as she heard his words, Chu Rouyun was completely stunned.
'Old Xia?'
'Since that person can give him the imperial clothing of the Great Xia Dynasty, he must be a royal and not an ordinary person.'
'He should either be the Crown Prince or the emperor.'
'Old Xia?'
'Old Xia?'
'Is it Xia Yan, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty?'
Chu Rouyun took a deep breath.
She was already certain that Su Changyu was definitely the Tenth Prince.
'Otherwise, how could Xia Yan possibly give Su Changyu those clothes?'
'Besides, how can there be someone who looks exactly like the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and bears the aura of Princess Changling?'
Indeed…
Indeed…
Indeed, her prayers in the past twenty-odd years really worked.
Chu Rouyun was on the brink of tears when she thought of that.
However, she got a grip on her emotions.
"Xia Yan, I didn't expect that you had already found my poor nephew and hid him from me."
"Are you still human?"
Chu Rouyun clenched her fist.
Her eyes were full of anger that she could not contain.
"No!"
However, in the next moment, Chu Rouyun frowned. She felt that Xia Yan must have a reason for hiding him from the Great Qian Dynasty.
Either he wanted to secretly groom Su Changyu, or he didn't want others to find out about it.
After all, more than twenty years ago, Su Changyu suffered a great disaster.
He was stolen from the palace.
Such an incident would very likely happen again so Xia Yan had to protect Su Changyu.
The only way to do so was to hide him from the world.
No one was to find out.
Thinking of this, Chu Rouyun couldn't help but take a deep breath and calmed herself down.
She hoped that everything would happen as she had guessed. Otherwise, she would settle scores with him.
Soon, Chu Rouyun put those things at the back of her head and hurriedly grabbed a plate of steamed snacks, which she then placed in front of Su Changyu.
"Little friend, these are snacks of good quality that are made in the palace. Have some. You've traveled a long journey, you must be exhausted, right?"
Heartbroken, Chu Rouyun looked at Su Changyu. After all, Su Changyu's clothes were quite messy so she reckoned that he must have been exhausted from the journey.
At the same time, Chu Rouyun was also curious about why Su Changyu would appear in the Great Qian Dynasty.
Faced with her kind gesture, Su Changyu subconsciously kept his guard up, but when he saw the exquisite snacks in the box…
During this period of time, he really hadn't eaten or rested well.
At the thought of this, Su Changyu caved in to his hunger and was tempted by the snacks.
"I'm not tired, I just met a mischievous child."
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency."
For some reason, Su Changyu felt an affectionate sense of closeness to the woman in front of him.
He somehow had a good impression of her.
"Mischievous child? What child?"
"Don't stand on ceremony with me. If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt."
Chu Rouyun smiled.
"Aunt? You look very young and beautiful. If I call you Aunt, it'll make you seem old. Why don't I call you Sister?"
In order to prevent her from coercing him to marry her daughter, Su Changyu tried his best to make the age gap between them lesser.
However, when she heard Su Changyu's compliment, Chu Rouyun naturally smiled sweetly.
After all, all women in this world liked being complimented for being young and beautiful.
'The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty is human too.'
Besides, Su Changyu didn't know his own identity yet, so Chu Rouyun was elated.
However, seniority mattered after all.
Chu Rouyun insisted, "I'm actually much older than you, I just have a good complexion. Call me Aunt and I'll call you my nephew. From now onwards, no one in the Great Qian Dynasty will dare to bully you."
Chu Rouyun said seriously.
That surprised Su Changyu.
He was actually very curious about her identity. Although Su Changyu rarely used his brains, he could tell that she probably had a noble status.
Now, she even said that.
Su Changyu thought about it.
'She should be a noble consort or something, right?'
At this point, Su Changyu nodded and said, "Greetings, Aunt."
Although Su Changyu had an indifferent aura, he somehow felt a strange sense of closeness to the woman in front of him. Even if others gave him plenty of benefits, Su Changyu wouldn't call them aunt.
However, there was something different about the woman in front of him. Besides, the person he had just beat up seemed to be someone of a powerful background.
He thought that he should find himself a backer so as to not cause any trouble.
"Okay, okay, okay."
"Your name is Changyu? What a good name. My name is Chu Rouyun. If you don't mind, you can just call me Aunt Rouyun."
Chu Rouyun affectionately pulled Su Changyu's arm.
At the same time, she placed the jade pendant she was holding in Su Changyu's hand.
In an instant, the light of the jade pendant became even more dazzling. That further confirmed Su Changyu's identity.
"Aunt Rouyun?"
Su Changyu found her name to be rather familiar but he couldn't recall where he had heard it before.
However, at this moment, Chu Rouyun couldn't help but speak up.
"Changyu, did you say that you met a mischievous child just now? What's the matter?"
Chu Rouyun asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just a mischievous child. I've already taught him a lesson."
Su Changyu answered calmly.
In the next moment, Chu Rouyun couldn't help but ask out of concern, "Are you injured then? Did you hurt yourself while hitting him?"
Chu Rouyun was overly worried.
Su Changyu was stunned too.
'Why would I get injured from hitting a mischievous child?'
'Are you looking down on me?'
At the same time… in the Heart Calming Hall.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was reprimanding Princess Xu Yang.
All of a sudden, the sounds of crying filled the air.
"Grandpa!"
"Grandpa!"
"Someone hit me!"
Upon hearing the crying, their expressions changed.

Chapter 231: The Emperor Is Not To Be Insulted! What? He's My Sister's Child?
In the Heart Calming Hall.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty seemed extremely solemn.
He was reprimanding Princess Xu Yang for leaving the palace without permission.
Princess Xu Yang also hung her head low, not daring to say anything.
"Father, how could I have known that the Heavenly Fiend Cult would target me? Besides, how did the Heavenly Fiend Cult know about my itinerary?"
Princess Xu Yang lowered her head. Although she was being reprimanded, she still felt rather unconvinced.
"Who should they target if not you? Only you would dare to leave the palace without permission."
"Now that the demonic cults have been revived, the Heavenly Fiend Cult, Fiendcelestial Cult, Ancient Fiend Cult, and True Fiend Cult have all emerged and the various dynasties are investigating this matter."
"At this juncture, you still have the guts to leave the palace without permission. You're really bold. The Great Qian Dynasty Palace might be impermeable but two may keep counsel, putting one away."
"Since your whereabouts have been exposed, there's obviously a snitch in the palace. You're lucky enough they were overly eager. If you had gone further away from the city, you'd have been dead."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty said with a sullen expression.
However, at this point, he couldn't help but be curious.
"I heard that you were rescued by an expert previously. Where is he now?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.
When Su Changyu was mentioned, Princess Xu Yang immediately felt more energized.
However, before she could speak, she heard someone crying outside.
"Grandpa!"
"Grandpa, I got beaten up."
The familiar voice was mixed with a cry of misery and devastation.
In an instant, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was a little curious.
Even Princess Xu Yang couldn't help but be surprised.
At this moment, Fang Li had already appeared in the hall.
As he got closer and closer, his cries also got louder and louder.
Soon, Fang Li wiped his tears and walked into the hall while bawling loudly. He didn't act like the grandson of an emperor at all and seemed to be extremely aggrieved.
"Fang Li, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Fang Li was in such a miserable state, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty felt his heart ache and he hurriedly walked over to look at Fang Li, his eyes full of curiosity and some sadness.
When Princess Xu Yang saw that, she looked extremely curious too.
Fang Li was a little tyrant of the Great Qian Dynasty whom no one dared to provoke. Not only did he have a noble status, he was also favored by the royals.
Be it his father or the empress, or even many concubines in the palace, they were all very fond of Fang Li.
It was not only because Fang Li was pleasant-looking, but mainly because he was very pretentious in front of the adults and had a glib tongue despite being so young.
Naturally, he gained the favor of the older generation and everyone adored him greatly.
That was also the reason that Fang Li was unruly and arrogant. Although he was just a child, he was extremely haughty and tyrannical.
Hence, many princesses and princes in the Great Qian Dynasty palace disliked Fang Li, but no matter what, he was the grandson of the emperor and given how young he was, they gave in to him as much as they could.
However, they didn't expect there to be someone who dared to provoke him, the little tyrant.
'Is there such an insensitive guy in the Great Qian Dynasty?'
In the Great Qian Dynasty, the last person one should offend was Fang Li.
Back then, the Crown Prince whipped Fang Li a few times with the whip but ended up being hung on the tree and beaten up badly by his father. That served as a declaration to the entire Great Qian Dynasty that Fang Li was more important to the emperor than the Crown Prince.
Hence, Princess Xu Yang was full of curiosity.
At this moment, Fang Li, who walked into the main hall, started sobbing when he saw the emperor.
"Grandpa, someone bullied me."
Fang Li leaped into the arms of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and wept in agony. Those who were unaware might think that Fang Li had fled back from somewhere.
However, after taking a close look, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty realized that Fang Li's clothes were a little messy, and in particular, his face was red and swollen.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was furious.
He usually wouldn't bear to even scold his precious grandson, and yet he got beaten up.
'This is outrageous.'
"Fang Li, who hurt you? Is it your incompetent father? Or your mother?"
"If it is your father, I'll go avenge you right now."
"Fang Li, you didn't go to disturb your grandma while she was praying, did you?"
"If you've offended her, don't blame me for not helping you."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty suppressed his anger while asking Fang Li that question.
What he meant was simple. If it was Fang Li's father, he would stand up for him, but if it was the empress, there was nothing he could do.
Everyone knew how henpecked the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was, so if his grandson offended her, he could forget about revenge.
Princess Xu Yang, who was standing in the hall, could not help but be annoyed yet amused after hearing his words.
She was annoyed that her brother, the esteemed Crown Prince, would get beaten up by the emperor every now and then.
She was amused by how henpecked the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was even though he had such a prestigious position. However, that was normal too. After all, there had always been great freedom in the Great Qian Dynasty and there was no patriarchy. Besides, being henpecked was just a relationship issue between a married couple.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty naturally had a say in the major matters.
However, Princess Xu Yang took great pity on her brother.
He was clearly the Crown Prince and the future emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. Yet, he was having it the worst in the Great Qian Dynasty.
Even the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty would at most be reprimanded verbally for his mistakes.
The Great Qian Dynasty was the best of the five dynasties, and yet what happened?
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty suppressed the Crown Prince greatly, causing him to be overwhelmed. However, the Crown Prince's son was pampered and favored by the emperor.
'The Crown Prince is so pitiful.'
"Grandpa, it's not my father, but an outsider whom Aunt Xu Yang brought to the palace. His name is Su Changyu!"
Fang Li sobbed while talking. While tears rolled down his cheeks incessantly, he pointed at Princess Xu Yang.
A voice sounded.
Princess Xu Yang was immediately stunned.
"Su Changyu? Senior Su?"
Princess Xu Yang was astonished.
She never expected the person who hit Fang Li to be her benefactor, Su Changyu.
"Fang Li, are you spouting nonsense? How can Senior Su possibly bully you when you're just a child?"
"Besides, Senior Su was with Xu Jin. With Xu Jin around, he would definitely have stopped Senior Su."
Princess Xu Yang immediately explained.
She thought that Fang Li was just babbling nonsense, but even then, it was impossible that he would know Su Changyu's name.
However, Princess Xu Yang felt that there must have been some misunderstanding.
She immediately spoke up to prevent a conflict.
"It's Su Changyu. Su Changyu."
"There's no misunderstanding. Grandpa, I was guarding outside Zhaixin Hall to prevent anyone from disturbing Grandma."
"I ended up discovering that Su Changyu tried to charge into the Zhaixin Hall and I wanted to stop him but he seems to have a backer. He beat me up before I even revealed my identity."
Fang Li sounded extremely impatient.
'There definitely isn't any misunderstanding in this.'
"He's really brazen."
After hearing Fang Li's words, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't help but fly into a rage.
If the person Fang Li offended wasn't the empress, everything could be settled easily.
"Father, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. Fang Li is usually snobbish and lofty. Besides, Senior Su is not a member of the palace, so he naturally isn't aware of the rules. He may have offended your grandson but he's my life savior."
Princess Xu Yang hurriedly said. She was really agitated and was frantically trying to explain something to the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty seemed rather indifferent.
"Misunderstanding?"
"Even if there is a misunderstanding, he shouldn't have hit someone."
"His name is Su Changyu, huh?"
"How dare he hurt the Great Qian Dynasty Emperor's grandson?"
"Xu Yang, even though he saved your life, you must remember that the emperor cannot be insulted."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty's voice was cold and merciless.
That made Princess Xu Yang's face turn extremely pale.
She knew that her father was genuinely furious.
"Father, no matter what, Senior Su saved my life and if you punish him too severely, it will affect the reputation of our nation if word about it gets out. Why don't you just ask Senior Su to apologize to Fang Li?"
Princess Xu Yang knelt on the ground. That was the best she could do to help Su Changyu.
"Apologize?"
"Xu Yang, you are still too capricious."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty took a deep breath.
He remained silent and then led Fang Li out of the hall.
In fact, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty understood what Xu Yang meant.
However, he was also aware of another thing.
That was, the royals were not to be insulted.
Even if Fang Li had done something wrong, no one was to lay their hands on him.
To put it bluntly, Su Changyu might have beaten his grandson up this time, but what if he injured him badly another day?
What if Su Changyu hit the emperor too?
The practice of martial arts in private was prohibited in the palace and the same rules applied even to the princes. If they wanted to fight, they would have to go to the ring in the palace. Fighting in private was a huge taboo.
Besides, Su Changyu was an outsider.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty took Fang Li and left.
Princess Xu Yang got up in a hurry. She chased after them because she knew that Su Changyu was going to be in huge trouble this time.
She was anxious and angry.
She was anxious about how her father would deal with Su Changyu.
She was furious that Xu Jin failed to keep an eye on Su Changyu.
If Xu Jin had been there, this would not have happened.
"Someone, summon the White Feather Imperial Guards."
Outside the main hall.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke coldly.
He was so furious that he summoned the White Feather Imperial Guards.
In fact, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was not upset about the fact that Fang Li got beaten up, but because someone actually had the audacity to beat up his grandson.
It was great defiance.
At the same time, it was also partly because his grandson had been bullied.
His precious grandson.
Soon, the sounds of footsteps filled the air.
They were the Great Qian Dynasty's White Feather Imperial Guards.
One by one, they appeared outside the main hall and knelt down in front of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Long Live, Your Majesty."
The austere voices of the White Feather Imperial Guards filled the air.
However, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty did not say anything else. He simply turned around and walked towards the Zhaixin Hall.
Fang Li followed after him.
The White Feather Imperial Guards didn't say anything more and simply followed the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty to the Zhaixin Hall.
At this moment, Princess Xu Yang tagged along too. She knew that no matter how she tried to dissuade him, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty would definitely take revenge for Fang Li.
She had to solve the trouble now.
Hence, she had to please and flatter Fang Li.
"Fang Li, aren't you particularly fond of the colorful coral that I have in my place? How about I give them to you and you go put in a good word in front of your grandpa?"
Princess Xu Yang pulled Fang Li and said via a voice transmission.
However, Fang Li did not even look at her. At this moment, his eyes were full of anger and hatred.
All he could think about now was taking revenge.
He didn't care about anything else.
The thought of Su Changyu weeping and shrieking miserably in front of him made Fang Li overjoyed.
'Hahahaha'
'Heehehehe!'
Fang Li was extremely agitated, wishing that time would pass faster.
"Fang Li, do you know what you're doing? You are being unkind to me. Fang Li, be good and I'll give you lots of benefits."
Princess Xu Yang continued to persuade him.
"Aunt, if you treat me as a nephew, don't interfere in this matter. If you don't treat me as your nephew, all the more you shouldn't interfere."
"In short, I will never give up on this matter and Su Changyu is dead meat. Even an immortal can't save him."
Fang Li sent a voice transmission. His attitude was very firm.
After Princess Xu Yang heard these words, she couldn't help but look annoyed.
'Fang Li is so full of resentment at such a young age, what's going to happen to him when he grows up?'
However, Princess Xu Yang knew that Fang Li's personality was that terrible because her father had spoiled him.
Unfortunately, no one in the entire Great Qian Dynasty could deal with Fang Li.
"I have no choice but to go to Brother."
At this moment, Princess Xu Yang knew that there was nothing she could do, and so she left immediately to look for Fang Li's father, the Crown Prince of the dynasty, who was also her elder brother.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, who was walking in front, naturally also realized that Princess Xu Yang had gone missing.
He understood what she wanted to do.
However, there was nothing he could do to stop her.
In fact, he hoped that Princess Xu Yang would rescue Su Changyu.
Hence, Xu Yang was right.
After all, Su Changyu had saved the life of the princess of the Great Qian Dynasty and while he could punish him, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty could not blow things up. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to their reputation.
However, Su Changyu had to be punished since he had hit the grandson of the emperor. The emperor had to intervene to show his might.
'The royals are not to be insulted!'
Just like that.
In less than 15 minutes.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty came outside the Zhaixin Hall.
He did not barge inside, because the empress was praying and he would be in huge trouble if he disturbed her out of nowhere.
However, outside the Zhaixin Hall.
There were 400 to 500 White Feather Imperial Guards who were already surrounding the Zhaixin Hall.
"Where is Su Changyu?"
At the next moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke up.
His voice was calm.
There were no emotions.
Fang Li, who had heard his voice, was in an even better mood.
His expectation of revenge also soared to the peak.
'Oh, Su Changyu.'
'I shall see what happens to you.'
'I'll show you what the grandson of the emperor is like and what it is to be surprised.
Fang Li was so excited that his face started trembling.
However, at this moment, Chu Rouyun was stunned.
Her footsteps were quick and she seemed a little agitated.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was slightly surprised.
Before he could say anything, Chu Rouyun spoke up.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to see Changyu for?"
Chu Rouyun looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, her eyes full of curiosity.
"He bullied Fang Li, I want to seek justice for him."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was also a little curious.
'Why does Rouyun know about Su Changyu too?'
'Who is this Su Changyu?'
"Bullied Fang Li?"
Chu Rouyun got even more curious while Fang Li, who was at the side, immediately felt aggrieved. He tried to play the sympathy card.
However, to his surprise, his grandmother actually didn't show him any concern and merely looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
"There's no need for that. Changyu isn't at fault. Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."
Chu Rouyun didn't even look at Fang Li. She just wanted to talk to the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty about Su Changyu.
However, the latter couldn't help but frown.
"I'll decide if he's at fault or not. Get him to come here."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was furious.
Although he was henpecked, he was naturally in charge of some matters.
"Your Majesty, Changyu is right, listen to me."
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty wanted to continue speaking.
However, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty interrupted her.
"The royals are not to be insulted!"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty revealed his intentions.
"Your Majesty."
Chu Rouyun wanted to explain.
"The royals are not to be insulted!"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was enraged.
He looked at Chu Rouyun.
He wondered if he had overindulged the empress.
'She thinks I'm a small fry, huh?'
However, after Fang Li, who was at the side, saw that scene, he was exhilarated.
When he heard Chu Rouyun say that Su Changyu was not at fault, he thought that his grandmother wanted to help Su Changyu.
However, after seeing how blunt and straightforward his grandfather was, how could he not be pleased?
'Grandpa, you're so manly.'
At this moment, Fang Li respected the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty even more.
He could also sense his kind intentions.
Chu Rouyun's face turned sullen immediately and sent a voice transmission.
"Your Majesty, do you know who Changyu is?"
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.
"The royals are not to be insulted!"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty repeated again after hearing the voice transmission.
He was really enraged.
He was furious.
At this moment, he somehow felt that he had really given in to Chu Rouyun too much in the past.
She actually repeatedly obstructed him in front of so many imperial guards.
Most importantly, his grandson had been bullied, and yet, she was helping an outsider instead of her grandson.
Who was he?
'Is he a lost son of the royals?'
'Even if he's my illegitimate son, so what?'
'Empress…'
'You're too disappointing.'
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had an extremely cold gaze.
At this moment, he had already made up his mind.
He had to punish Su Changyu.
It was not only for Fang Li, but also because of Chu Rouyun's attitude towards him.
He was the emperor.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Who would dare to disobey him?
Whose status was higher than his?
Sensing the anger of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, the empress, Chu Rouyun, didn't say anything else.
She continued to send him a voice transmission in a contemptuous tone.
"Sure, since Your Majesty wants to punish your sister's son, who's your biological nephew, I have nothing more to say. I hope you won't feel guilty towards Princess Changling."
Chu Rouyun said.
That was a voice transmission sent using divine senses.
Others couldn't hear her.
"Imperial guards, listen up…"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty humphed coldly.
He subconsciously raised his hand and told the imperial guards to arrest Su Changyu.
However, in an instant, he snapped back to his senses.
He froze on the spot and stared at the empress in shock.
At this moment, he even forgot to breathe.

Chapter 232: Today, I Will Teach You To Be A Good Person
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty froze in place.
He felt that he had heard wrong.
Somewhat bewildered, he looked at Chu Rouyun.
The latter stayed silent without saying anything. She seemed to be letting him do as he pleased.
Their silence made the imperial guards and Fang Li confused.
Fang Li, in particular.
He couldn't understand what was going on.
Why did they stop talking all of a sudden?
'Grandpa, what's after that?'
'Do you want me to give the order to the imperial guards?'
The imperial guards were confused too.
'What exactly are they doing? Your Majesty, can't you finish everything in one go?'
Everyone looked at each other, full of curiosity.
However, at this point, they were really at a loss for what to do.
"Rouyun, what do you mean by that?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at his empress and asked in a shaky voice.
This time, he was really dumbfounded.
He didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, I've found Sister Changling's lost son."
Chu Rouyun sent a voice transmission and she tried her best to make herself sound calm. However, even then, what she said made him tremble.
"You found him?"
"Rouyun, are you lying to me?!"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty felt his body go numb while blood surged to his brain.
Changling was his most beloved sister and although she was just a half-sister, he was much closer to her than his other siblings with whom he shared the same mother.
When his sister wanted to marry the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he was dead set against it.
If she hadn't insisted on doing so, no one could have stopped him from opposing.
It was safe to say that in the entire Great Qian Dynasty, Princess Changling was the only person who could influence his thoughts.
When he heard of Changling's death later, he was miserable for three whole years.
Three whole years.
In fact, he had even thought of declaring war with the Great Xia Dynasty to make the emperor pay for it, an eye for an eye.
However, in the end, he held back because he didn't want the people of his dynasty to suffer as that would increase his sins.
After all, his sister had left behind an orphan.
However, he didn't expect the Great Xia Dynasty palace to lose his sister's only son.
That incident was the very reason that the Great Qian Dynasty severed ties with the Great Xia Dynasty completely. For the past two decades, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty would have to undergo strict checks before they could be granted entry to the Great Qian Dynasty. If it wasn't for something important, they basically wouldn't let anyone from the Great Xia Dynasty in.
That was enough to prove how much the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty hated the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
For the past two decades, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had been constantly looking for the whereabouts of the Tenth Prince, but for twenty years, there was no news at all.
Although he didn't want to believe it, he knew that his poor nephew might have been tragically killed.
However, he didn't expect to hear the empress say that his nephew had been found.
Seeing Chu Rouyun's reaction, he felt that she was very confident about it.
At the thought of this, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty suddenly reacted and realized why the empress would act out of the ordinary today and embarrass him in front of everyone.
She would usually not be so insensitive.
After hearing her explanation, he completely understood
"Your Majesty, I wouldn't lie."
Chu Rouyun said seriously.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was completely agitated and his voice seemed to be trembling too.
"Who? Who's my nephew? Where is he? Quick, take me to see him."
The emperor sent a voice transmission. Although he was excited he knew that he couldn't let a third person find out about it.
"Your Majesty, your nephew is Su Changyu. He's in the main hall now."
Chu Rouyun answered.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty came to a sudden realization.
However, he couldn't be blamed for being foolish, he was just too hot-headed at the time.
Besides, he was naturally agitated to know that his nephew had been found.
That was the reason for his slow response.
"Su Changyu?"
"Quick, take me there to have a look."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty said agitatedly.
"Your Majesty, I can take you to see him but you have to pay attention to your image and attitude. I didn't inform Changyu of his identity, so…"
Chu Rouyun said via a voice transmission.
After all, Su Changyu did not know anything about his identity. Otherwise, he'd definitely be unable to accept it.
"I understand, I understand. Quick, let me meet my nephew."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty said excitedly.
He didn't want to do anything except see his nephew now.
"Your Majesty, come with me."
Chu Rouyun didn't say much more and was ready to lead the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty to the main hall.
However, at this moment, Fang Li suddenly interjected.
"Grandpa, Grandma, what are you doing?"
Fang Li couldn't understand what was going on at all.
'Didn't you come over to help me take revenge?'
However, the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty simply looked at Fang Li.
Their gazes were profound.
However, Fang Li only felt somewhat puzzled.
To the emperor and empress, their grandson was important and they doted on him too.
However, their nephew mattered more.
Well at least, Fang Li had been living in luxury in the palace with both his parents present.
He was at least favored and allowed to be a tyrant in the palace.
The two of them were well aware of all his sordid acts previously, but in their eyes, he was just a naughty child.
Moreover, Su Changyu was different. He grew up as an orphan who suffered lots of hardship.
Coupled with their guilt and love for Princess Changling, all their emotions were piled together.
They were naturally guilty and full of inexplicable love for Su Changyu.
Hence, their love for Fang Li paled in comparison.
The emperor followed Chu Rouyun into the Zhaixin Hall.
At this moment, in the Zhaixin Hall.
Su Changyu didn't even know what was going on.
He was sitting in the main hall and thinking about how to leave the Great Qian Dynasty.
He didn't want to come to the Great Qian Dynasty in the first place.
He just wanted to hurry to the Great Xia Dynasty and ask OId Xuan for an explanation.
God knows how he ended up in the Great Qian Dynasty and got involved in such trouble.
He even heard someone asking him to come out.
Su Changyu was somehow flustered.
He seemed to have vaguely remembered that the kid he beat up had claimed that he was the grandson of the emperor.
Su Changyu didn't really know what that meant but it sounded impressive to him.
He wondered if Chu Rouyun could settle it.
If she couldn't, he would just flee.
'Ah, indeed, handsome people just face trouble everywhere they go.'
Su Changyu couldn't help but sigh.
However, at this moment, two figures appeared in the hall.
One of them was Chu Rouyun while the other was a middle-aged man who was clad in a black robe with golden dragons embroidered on them. That made him feel somewhat scared.
Su Changyu got even more flustered.
'What do I do? What do I do!?!'
'Are they here to question me?'
'Oh dear, oh dear, how did I end up getting involved in such a matter?'
Su Changyu was vexed.
He was anxious and scared but he wished he could explain it.
He didn't know if they were willing to hear his explanation.
In the main hall.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was extremely agitated.
He hadn't entered the main hall yet, but he had already seen Su Changyu.
Clad in a green robe, Su Changyu was seated and he had an extraordinary aura. He looked rather handsome too and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he looked otherworldly.
The most shocking thing was that Su Changyu had a transcendent aloofness which made him look as cold as an iceberg. He didn't seem snobbish, but rather, he seemed to be high above the world.
'It's him.'
'It's him.'
'This is my nephew.'
'This is my nephew.'
The moment the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty saw Su Changyu, he was sure that he was his nephew.
Otherwise, how could he look so handsome and have such a similar aura to Changling?
If Su Changyu was a woman, he would look even more like Princess Changling. The emperor even felt that he had seen his sister.
Su Changyu's aura resembled hers greatly.
It was almost identical.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty froze in place.
For some reason, he felt his eyes get a little warm as he somehow felt like crying.
"Changyu!"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't help but cry out emotionally.
However, in an instant, Su Changyu spoke up too.
His voice was calm and slightly aloof.
"I beat him up."
His calm voice contained a faint hint of arrogance.
That shocked the three of them.
Su Changyu froze too.
'Huh?'
The emperor and empress didn't know what he was saying.
Neither did Su Changyu himself.
"Oh dear."
'It's acting up again.'
Su Changyu, who was in the main hall, was already on the verge of despair.
He was ready to die.
'I'm dead meat this time.'
However, the empress immediately reacted.
She couldn't help but chuckle. She looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and explained, "Your Majesty, Changyu is talking about your grandson."
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty told the emperor what Su Changyu meant.
'Oh!'
The emperor nodded.
However, Su Changyu froze.
'Your Majesty?'
'This person is the emperor?'
Although he didn't understand official positions and the hierarchy, he knew what 'His Majesty' stood for.
'Have I provoked the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty?'
'I'm going to be in hot soup.'
'I'm dead meat.'
"Oh dear."
"Oh dear."
'It's over for me, I'm going to die.'
Su Changyu cried, finding his life to be really pitiful.
He actually provoked the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
At this moment, Su Changyu had resigned to fate and was ready to die.
However, he couldn't help but take a deep breath when he thought about that.
Since he had to die no matter what, he decided to give up on himself.
He didn't want to beg for mercy anymore.
He found it pointless.
Anyway, he was dead meat!
Su Changyu had nothing else to say if he had provoked someone else.
However, the problem was that he had provoked the emperor, so naturally, he felt hopeless.
He had to die anyway.
Su Changyu immediately couldn't help but take a deep breath again.
He looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and said calmly, "Your grandson is being such a rude tyrant at such a young age. He has no morals or manners."
"If you don't take him in hand, he's going to cause trouble to the people of the world in the future. You have to punish him no matter what."
"I won't regret this at all."
Su Changyu said.
This time, he didn't slip up.
This time, he had said those words for his own sake.
There had been countless people who died since ancient times. Su Changyu had to pretend to be impressive even until he was dead.
He had to pretend for himself.
However, as soon as he said that, the emperor and empress couldn't help but be stunned.
They didn't expect Su Changyu to have such a great opinion.
The emperor wasn't angry at all.
They exchanged glances and understood what Su Changyu meant.
"Fang Li has indeed been a bit naughty."
The emperor sent a voice transmission. His tone was calm but it was clear what he meant.
"Yes, we have spoiled him rotten over the years. He's not that young anymore, and Changyu is right. If we don't take him in hand now, he will be a disaster to the world in the future."
Chu Rouyun also approved of what Su Changyu said.
They were aware of Fang Li's actions, but Fang Li was a little smart and would make sure that he didn't go overboard. Hence, everyone would usually give in to him.
After all, he was just a teenager who was about 13 or 14 years old. There was no need to exact force on him.
However, if anyone else had said this, the emperor and empress wouldn't be bothered.
However, the words sounded more acceptable because Su Changyu was the one who said them.
"Little Friend Changyu, I understand what you mean."
"I have to go and handle some matters now, don't get angry. Rouyun, take Changyu to get some rest and leave everything else to me."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke coldly.
He had seen Su Changyu.
However, he was at a loss for words.
He wanted to tell Su Changyu that he was his uncle.
However, he was worried that Su Changyu might not be able to accept it.
Most importantly, Su Changyu's clothes were made for the royals of the Great Xia Dynasty and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty might have long found out about Su Changyu's existence.
However, even then, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty didn't inform him about it.
He had to deal with that matter.
Of course, nothing else mattered.
The main thing was that Su Changyu had been aggrieved.
'Fang Li, Fang Li.'
'I usually pamper you so much but I didn't expect to end up harming you instead.'
'I'm going to teach you to be a good person today.'
With that thought in mind, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty left.
However, Su Changyu was shocked at this moment.
'There's actually such a logic?'
'Really?'
'Tsk, tsk.'
'No wonder he's the emperor, he's so magnanimous.'
Su Changyu suddenly had a great impression of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
At this moment, outside the Zhaixin Hall.
Princess Xu Yang had already brought the Crown Prince over.
The Crown Prince, who was in his thirties, looked rather refined. He and Princess Xu Yang were advising Fang Li not to create trouble.
"Father, Aunt, don't spout nonsense anymore."
"I have never suffered such a big loss in my life. I won't let Su Changyu off."
Fang Li was very stubborn and would not let Su Changyu off even if he died.
"Fang Li, forget it if you get up to nonsense all the time but don't go on anymore. Listen to me."
The Crown Prince was a little angered.
His son had been spoiled rotten by his parents, which caused him to be unruly and difficult to discipline.
Once he disciplined Fang Li, his father would reprimand him, and hence, the Crown Prince was very upset.
However, even though he said that, Fang Li was still as stubborn as before.
At this moment, Fang Li saw his grandfather walking out of the Zhaixin Hall.
He immediately dashed over excitedly.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, is that Su Changyu in Zhaixin Hall?"
"Grandpa, you have to do justice for me."
"Grandpa."
Fang Li looked exceptionally excited, wishing he could take revenge immediately.
However, Fang Li had overlooked something.
The expression on the emperor's face had become extremely cold and indifferent.

Chapter 233: Grandpa, Stop Hitting Me, Stop Or I'll Die
In the palace of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Outside the Zhaixin Hall.
Fang Li looked unusually excited.
Ever since he was a kid, he had never been bullied.
Yet, someone actually beat him up today.
That made Fang Li furious and extremely upset.
However, fortunately for him, his grandfather would stand up for him all the time and so he thought that he would teach Su Changyu a lesson too.
As for Princess Xu Yang and his father, Fang Li didn't care at all. As long as he could get revenge for himself, everything would be alright.
Not far away, Princess Xu Yang knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty with great excitement.
"Father, Senior Su merely did it in a moment of impulse. There must be some misunderstanding here. Father, you must find out clearly."
Princess Xu Yang spoke up and pleaded for Su Changyu.
The crown prince of the Great Qian Dynasty also immediately came forward and knelt before the emperor.
"Father, Xu Yang has already told me about it. There must be some misunderstanding."
"Fang Li is naughty and unruly. No matter what happened, Senior Su has saved Xu Yang's life, and if we punish him, we will be labeled as ingrates who repay kindness with hostility if word about it gets out."
The crown prince of the Great Qian Dynasty was very understanding. After Princess Xu Yang went to see him and explained the situation clearly, he knew that his son Fang Li must have caused huge trouble.
No matter what, Su Changyu was not to be blamed for this.
After all, Su Changyu saved Princess Xu Yang, thus making him the benefactor of the Great Qian Dynasty despite the fact that he had really beaten up Fang Li.
However, it wasn't a big deal either. He would at most give Su Changyu some gifts before letting him go.
There was no need to be brutal.
This time, the crown prince of the Great Qian Dynasty was a little furious and angered by Fang Li.
In fact, this was not the first time that something like that happened. However, Fang Li had been really unruly just because he was young and favored by the emperor.
Hence, the Crown Prince had no choice but to beg the emperor to let Su Changyu off.
"There is no misunderstanding here, he just thinks I'm a pushover because I'm a kid."
"Grandpa, I can't let this go."
Fang Li was also very stubborn. He felt that he couldn't let himself get beaten up for nothing.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty could not help but look at Fang Li whom he pampered dearly.
However, Su Changyu's words made him come to his senses.
He used to spoil and dote on Fang Li because he was still young, and also because of the fact that he was his grandson. In addition, Fang Li's aura was a little similar to that of Princess Changling's.
Those were the reasons why he doted on Fang Li so much.
However, it was different now.
Fang Li was already 14 years old and would be having his coming-of-age celebration in two years' time. If he continued being so unruly and snobbish, he would really turn out like what Su Changyu said.
Hence, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty planned to discipline Fang Li today.
"You can't accept it?"
"Fang Li, let me ask you, why did Changyu beat you up?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty asked in a calm tone.
After hearing his words, the Crown Prince and Princess Xu Yang couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
They could tell the different meanings in his words.
'Why did Changyu beat you up?'
'Why did the emperor call him Changyu? That sounds quite affectionate.'
Unfortunately, Fang Li couldn't understand it. In fact, he completely failed to realize that. Indeed, he was still too young.
"Grandpa, maybe he's jealous that I look more handsome than him."
Fang Li replied.
At that moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty could not help but continue to speak.
"Fang Li, let me ask you, have you crossed the line and done anything too outrageous?"
"No."
Fang Li insisted that he hadn't done anything overboard, even if he had.
He had to deny no matter what.
"Really?"
At this moment, the gaze of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty suddenly became sharper.
He stared at Fang Li.
Fang Li immediately felt a chill down his spine.
It was the first time he saw such a gaze in his grandfather's eyes.
It was really intimidating.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty held great power and authority to decide the lives of the people in his country.
Even his children and the civil officials of the imperial court, as well as some marquises, dared not breathe loudly when faced with such a gaze from him.
Naturally, Fang Li was scared but he was very puzzled too.
"Grandpa, I… I may have said some awful things to him but that's not a valid reason for him to beat me up."
Although he was scared, Fang Li was still indignant and insisted that it was Su Changyu's fault.
"Unbridled!"
In an instant, the voice of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty filled the air, giving Fang Li a great shock. Even Princess Xu Yang and the Crown Prince couldn't help but shudder.
They had never seen the emperor being so furious towards Fang Li before.
Usually, the emperor would turn a blind eye to Fang Li's actions and downplay the issue even if he caused a huge trouble.
They didn't expect the emperor to be so stern this time.
"Grandpa!"
Fang Li exclaimed sobbingly. He was really stunned this time but he was mostly bewildered.
'Why has Grandpa changed? He usually isn't like this.'
Fang Li really couldn't figure it out but he knew that he couldn't babble nonsense anymore.
"Fang Li, you are my grandson and I pamper you greatly because of your father, and I also indulge you because you're still young and ignorant."
"You repeatedly make mistakes and act lawlessly in the palace but I never reprimanded you for your actions because you're still young. I don't want to restrict you too much or discipline you too excessively."
"I just want you to be happy, but you're getting more and more arrogant and unbridled. You don't respect anyone at all, be it your parents or the servants and ministers."
"I've spoiled you rotten, but now, you're already 14 years old. You're not young and clueless anymore."
"Today, I must teach you a good lesson and take you in hand."
After hearing those words, Fang Li was dumbfounded.
'Something's wrong.'
'Why is it my fault?'
However, before he could think any longer, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had already pulled out a golden rattan whip.
It was meant for whipping the royals.
If the whip was used on an ordinary person, it would not hurt regardless of how many times they were whipped because although there would be immense pain, a stream of spiritual energy would be injected immediately afterwards to heal the wound.
The whip was an heirloom of the royal family that was used exclusively for disciplining some disobedient princesses and princes.
After all, he couldn't be too harsh and hurt him badly.
However, if he didn't go harder on him, Fang Li wouldn't learn his lesson.
Hence, this whip was the best tool for choice. It wouldn't kill but it would make him feel incredible pain.
"Grandpa, Grandpa…"
Fang Li was dumbfounded to see that whip.
However, he was soon whipped.
"Oww!!!"
He shrieked in misery like an animal that was being slaughtered.
He was in so much pain that he began to doubt life.
The pain was even more agonizing than the pain he got from Su Changyu's beating. It seemed to penetrate his bones.
In the next moment, a stream of surging spiritual energy entered his body and immediately healed his wounds but the pain did not subside.
Smack!
He was whipped again.
Fang Li began shrieking hysterically as he laid on the ground and wailed. In fact, he even ignored the fact that he was the emperor's grandson.
"Grandpa, stop hitting me. Grandpa, stop."
With tears and snot all over his face, Fang Li cried and begged the emperor to stop hitting him.
However, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spared no mercy and instead hit him even harder.
"I've only whipped you twice and you can't stand it anymore. Do you know how many lashes your father received back then?"
"These years, you've been lawless and I've spoiled you rotten, so much that you've become tyrannical and arrogant."
"You were born into a noble family with a golden spoon in your mouth, and you have been fed and clothed well in the palace. You get to play and eat whatever you want because there'll always be someone to prepare them for you."
"But do you know that some people become orphans soon after they're born and end up staying in a small sect without enough to eat or wear? At the young age of only 14 years old, they might be forced to make a living for themselves."
"You have no idea at all because you're so self-centered that you only pay attention to yourself."
"Rebellious grandson!"
"Don't cry," the emperor said while whipping him.
He had imagined most of the things he said because in his opinion, Su Changyu must have had a miserable childhood.
He thought that Su Changyu must have lived in harsh conditions where his meals were irregular, unlike his grandson Fang Li who lived and ate well but would still cause trouble for nothing.
Of course he had to beat him up.
"Grandpa, stop hitting me, please stop. If you continue, I'll die."
"Grandpa, I know my mistakes, I really do!"
"Grandpa, I really know I was wrong, stop hitting me or I'll die."
Fang Li lay on the ground, howling and bawling loudly. The pain from the whip made him feel like dying.
At this moment, Fang Li looked at Princess Xu Yang and his father.
"Aunt, Aunt, help me, help."
"Father, Father, Father, save me."
Fang Li was weeping miserably.
After Princess Xu Yang saw it, she didn't take any pity on him at all.
When she was young, she had also been beaten by the imperial whip, and hence, she knew how painful it was. However, she also knew that some people had to be whipped, like naughty children who wouldn't learn their lesson unless they were hit.
On the other hand, the Crown Prince, Fang Li's father, couldn't help but look at the emperor after seeing that scene.
"Father."
He seemed to be pleading for mercy for Fang Li.
"What?"
"Do you want to be hit too?"
The emperor questioned angrily.
Hearing this, the Crown Prince shook his head. Ever since he was a child, he had been hit by the whip from time to time, but even now, he still felt somehow terrified.
Hence, the Crown Prince was flustered after hearing those words.
On the other hand, Fang Li somehow felt touched to see that. Although he often contradicted his father, he didn't expect that his father would stand up for him at the critical juncture.
Indeed, a father's love is boundless.
'Father, you're so manly.'
Despite feeling touched, Fang Li was still in pain.
However, the Crown Prince really wasn't begging for mercy.
He knelt on the ground with a serious expression.
"Father, you're mistaken. What I mean is, let me do the beating."
The Crown Prince said seriously.
Everyone was stunned.
Fang Li was dumbfounded.
The emperor was speechless.
So was Princess Xu Yang.
The imperial guards too.
In particular, Fang Li initially thought that his father was going to help him plead for mercy, but he didn't expect his father to want to be the one to hit him instead.
'You're really my father.'
"Spare the rod and spoil the child. You're Fang Li's father after all, go ahead and hit him."
"However, if you go easy on him, I'll hit you too."
The emperor thought about it, but he eventually agreed and tossed the whip to the emperor.
He was scared that the Crown Prince would try to defend his son and hence, he gave that warning.
The latter took the whip and looked at Fang Li.
When Fang Li saw his father's expression, he couldn't figure out what he meant.
Smack!
He smacked him again.
At this moment, an even more miserable shriek sounded.
"Ah!"
"Father!!!"
"Are you serious?"
Fang Li shrieked in misery, making everyone frown.
Even the emperor was dumbfounded.
He could tell at a glance that his son wasn't pretending and was instead hitting Fang Li with greater force.
He was very ruthless.
He hit Fang Li harder than the emperor did.
Even the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty could not help but frown.
"Who told you to be disobedient!?!"
"It's your fault for creating trouble all day!"
"You deserve this for being so arrogant all the time!"
"Are you still going to be arrogant?"
"Are you still going to be disobedient?"
The Crown Prince was furious. He had been getting beaten up since he was a child as the emperor would hit him whenever he was displeased.
Yet, the emperor spoiled and pampered his grandson, Fang Li, so much that no one dared to provoke him.
As Fang Li's father, he would discipline him sometimes but Fang Li would always tell on him and complain against him.
In particular, when he scared Fang Li previously, the latter even went to complain to the emperor.
He ended up being whipped several times.
This time, his father seemed to have suddenly had a change of character.
'That's great.'
'Is he going to hit him hard this time to make up for all the times that he spared the rod previously?'
'Spare the rod, spoil the child.'
'This kid has to be taught a lesson or he will not behave himself.'
He knew that Fang Li had to be taught a lesson.
Hence, the Crown Prince lashed him again without further ado.
Fang Li's scalp began to turn numb.
He was convinced that his father was an expert at lashing others.
He was even more brutal than the emperor.
In the end, the more the Crown Prince hit him, the harsher he was. Sensing that the situation was getting out of hand, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty immediately stopped him.
"Stop hitting him, or he'll die."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty pulled his son back, looking rather amusing.
He really didn't expect that his son would be so ferocious even though he usually looked mild-mannered and civilized. He wondered who he had inherited it from.
The Crown Prince was really furious and when hitting his son, he didn't feel guilty at all.
If his father hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten Fang Li even harder.
At the same time…
In the Zaixin Hall.
Su Changyu heard the sounds of wailing.
He somehow found it familiar.
However, at this point…
In the Great Xia Dynasty palace.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't help but speak up.
"What? Did you say that Changyu has gone missing?"

Chapter 234: New Deal! Immortals Are Banned! Return to The Sect!
In the Great Xia Dynasty.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's face turned pale.
He looked at Taishang Xuanji, who was kneeling on the ground, with anger in his gaze.
He had asked Taishang Xuanji to investigate Su Changyu's whereabouts.
However, he didn't expect Su Changyu to have gone missing.
How could he not be infuriated?
Twenty-seven years ago, Su Changyu had disappeared once, and now, he disappeared again.
The same thing happened twice. How could the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty not be furious?
"Your Majesty, according to the scouts, Changyu disappeared at the Jin Nation Teleportation Array."
"He originally intended to come to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"However, for some reason, he did not appear in the capital. I've already sent people to investigate and we found out that there's something wrong with the Teleportation Array. Changyu might have been… teleported to somewhere else."
Taishang Xuanji lowered his head, not daring to continue.
"He got teleported to somewhere else?"
"Where?"
"Taishang Xuanji, you'd better tell me the truth. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty slammed his hand hard against the table.
He knew that Taishang Xuanji was definitely not telling the truth, so he compelled him to speak up.
"Your Majesty, the Teleportation Array involves spatial formations, and I cannot find out anything about it. We can only rely on the divinations of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."
"But don't worry, Your Majesty, Changyu is blessed. I'm sure he won't encounter any danger."
"He might have the opportunity of creation."
Taishang Xuanji could only use such words to comfort the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
He couldn't possibly say that Su Changyu was about to be doomed.
"Opportunity of creation?"
"Hmph! There are opportunities of creation everywhere in the treasure vault of the Great Xia Dynasty. Why does he need it?"
The emperor's voice was full of anger.
To him, the Great Xia Dynasty would give Su Changyu everything he needed.
What was a creation considered?
"You're right, Your Majesty. I was wrong."
At this moment, there was nothing Taishang Xuanji could say. Anyway, he would just take the scolding.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty spoke again.
"Xuanji, relay my orders now. Resort to all means to find Changyu. If anything terrible happens to Changyu, I'll hold you responsible."
As he spoke, he took out a dragon talisman.
He looked at Taishang Xuanji.
"Xuanji."
"I'm here."
Taishang Xuanji knelt on the ground and looked at the dragon talisman that landed in front of him, overwhelmed with shock.
That was the dragon talisman.
The dragon talisman of the Great Xia Dynasty was a supreme talisman.
"Deploy the imperial guards of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Five Divine Battalions, the Golden Dragon Guards, Black Dragon Guards, and Violet Dragon Guards to quickly check up on Changyu. Even if you have to search high and low in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, you must find Changyu. Do you understand?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty ordered.
"Yes."
"But…"
Taishang Xuanji swallowed his saliva.
At this moment, the reaction of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty made Taishang Xuanji completely understand how important Su Changyu was to the emperor.
The Great Xia Dynasty imperial guards, Five Divine Battalions, Golden Dragon Guards, Black Dragon Guards, and Violet Dragon Guards.
That was half of the military force stationed in the Great Xia Dynasty.
There were a total of three million troops and it seemed a little exaggerated to send such a huge military manpower to search for Su Changyu.
More importantly, the huge manpower would definitely arouse suspicion.
"What?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty frowned and looked at the latter.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we'll arouse unnecessary suspicion if we deploy so many troops."
"I hope that you will reconsider this."
Although Taishang Xuanji obeyed the order, he could not help but admonish the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, hoping that he wouldn't let his recklessness rule his head.
"What's the trouble?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at Taishang Xuanji calmly with a cold gaze.
Sensing the cold gaze in the eyes of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Taishang Xuanji was a little scared but he couldn't help but speak up.
"Your Majesty, if you mobilize such a large army, there will be three problems that we have to face."
"Firstly, there are now five major dynasties here and they have all already put pressure on the sacred lands of the various immortal sects. These sacred lands of the immortal sects have become more and more sensitive."
"If we rashly dispatch the troops, I'm afraid that those immortal sects and saints will find out and then mistakenly think that the Great Xia Dynasty is going to start a new order."
"If that is the case, there will be lots of civil unrest in the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Secondly, there will be chaos and internal strife. Now that the Heavenly Fiend Cult has been revived, there will be a considerable impact if the Heavenly Fiend Cult forces roam around in the major sacred lands, even though we don't know who is behind them."
"Thirdly, it's again the issue about the internal strife. If the opposing troops find out that we've suddenly deployed a large military power, they will definitely investigate seriously. Once they find out that the Tenth Prince is still alive, there will definitely be more trouble."
"Your Majesty, how about this? I'll make a trip to the Jin Nation personally and ask the king to thoroughly investigate this matter. I will also supervise the whole process and strive to find Changyu within a month."
Taishang Xuanji suggested.
It wasn't that he couldn't empathize with the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, but rather, he understood the feelings of the people of the world even more.
Deploying three million troops in one breath would result in civil unrest in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Taishang Xuanji's voice made the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty gradually calm down.
It was not that the emperor was not smart, he was just momentarily overwhelmed by anger.
However, he regained his rationality in a moment's time.
He knew that Taishang Xuanji made a lot of sense and there was nothing wrong with his words.
At the thought of this, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty finally took a deep breath.
He said slowly, "No matter what, bring the Golden Dragon Guards along."
That was the emperor's final compromise. He didn't find it safe enough to rely only on the national power of Jin Nation and would be more at ease if the Golden Dragon Guards were deployed.
"Yes."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Taishang Xuanji knelt on the ground and exhaled a long breath. He was really worried that the emperor would be impulsive. Besides, his subjects would have to obey all his orders.
"Xuanji, if you don't find Changyu…"
"You should know the consequences."
Finally, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty slowly spoke very clearly.
Taishang Xuanji also understood. Hence, he immediately got up, bowed to the emperor again, and left the place with the Dragon Talisman.
After he left, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was the only one left in the main hall.
However, someone soon spoke up.
"Your Majesty, Defender Marquis is here."
After he heard that, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's expression gradually became calmer.
"Come in."
In the next moment, a figure walked into the hall.
Clad in a four-clawed python robe, he looked very majestic and walked on a steady and formidable gait.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Defender Marquis bowed to the emperor.
The marquises of the Great Xia Dynasty did not have to kneel to the emperor.
The Defender Marquis, Marquis Qingming, was one of the 19 marquises of the Great Xia Dynasty.
There were three kings and 19 marquises in the Great Xia Dynasty. The Defender Marquis was the most powerful person apart from the emperor and crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Forgo the formality."
The emperor said slowly. His expression was extremely calm and all his emotions were hidden.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty continued to speak.
"How's the discussion going?"
"I went to the Great Zhou Dynasty, Great Li Dynasty, and the Great Ze Dynasty to negotiate."
"The Great Zhou Dynasty and Great Li Dynasty are willing to start the new policy together with the Great Xia Dynasty. This matter has already been agreed upon, but the Great Ze Dynasty does not want the Great Xia Dynasty to take the lead even though they're interested."
The Defender Marquis answered.
His words made the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty frown slightly.
"Must the Great Ze Dynasty compete even in the implementation of a new policy?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, in recent years, the Great Ze Dynasty has been advancing rapidly and they think that they're already the top of the five major dynasties. They've even repeatedly gotten into a conflict with the Great Qian Dynasty."
"Besides, the implementation of the new policy will benefit both the nation and the people. If we succeed, we will be able to obtain the destiny of heaven and earth. Naturally, the Great Ze Dynasty would want to be the leader."
"However, since this is Your Majesty's idea, we can't let the Great Ze Dynasty snatch it away, so I didn't agree to anything."
The Defender Marquis said.
"At the end of the day, it's still a battle of luck."
"Hmph, the Great Ze Dynasty has been coveting the Great Xia Dynasty over the years, but they ought to remember that although the Great Xia Dynasty's national luck has indeed declined over the years, we are not pushovers."
"Qingming, make a trip to the Great Zhou and Great Li Dynasties. Since the Great Ze Dynasty doesn't want to, we won't bring them along."
"Once the new policy is implemented, it will benefit the country and the people. With this opportunity, I can also step down from the throne and let the Crown Prince ascend to the throne. There will be peace and the luck of the Great Xia Dynasty will definitely soar."
"Qingming, you have to handle this matter well. If you do, there will be four kings in the Great Xia Dynasty instead of three."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's words made Marquis Qingming excited.
King!
That title had a huge appeal to the courtiers of the Great Xia Dynasty.
What is a king?
A king is one who can have an equal standing with the emperor.
The three hereditary kings of the Great Xia Dynasty had done great merit for the Great Xia Dynasty.
Two of the kings had achieved immense merit and thus raised the bar for marquises and kings in the future.
Naturally, the temptation of becoming the king was too great for the marquis.
"I will do my best."
Marquis Qingming took a deep breath and said so.
"Alright, Qingming, do your best and don't let me down."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty nodded.
He asked Marquis Qingming to leave.
The latter didn't say much. He then turned around to leave.
After Marquis Qingming left, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't help but look at a piece of white paper on the table.
The words 'prohibit immortals' were written on it.
That was the new policy of the Great Xia Dynasty.
It was also the thing that the various major dynasties had to accomplish now.
The so-called prohibition of immortals was the complete suppression of all immortal sects and sacred lands.
All land belonged to the king.
They wanted to conquer all land.
That was the goal of the Great Xia Dynasty and the four other major dynasties.
The battle of the world was a battle of luck.
The sacred land of the immortal sects was the extreme Dao.
They hoped to rely on the Three Thousand Great Dao to clinch the immortal position.
The battle between dynasties was a battle of the luck of the world.
However, the five dynasties were now at their pinnacle. Even though the luck of the Great Xia Dynasty had rapidly declined, they were still a hegemon.
Hence, there hadn't been a unification of the five dynasties.
However, the five dynasties were very close to clinching the luck of immortals.
Hence, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty thought of a solution.
That was to plunder the luck of the sacred lands and complete the unification. That would not only increase the luck, but also stabilize the dynasty.
It was to use martial arts to reinforce the prohibition.
The sacred lands of the immortal sects had been a thorn in the flesh of the dynasties, and it would naturally be a good thing for them if they could obtain the immortal position while suppressing the immortal sects.
Prohibiting immortals.
That was the new policy.
However, they had to plan for that continuously.
They could not be casual with it.
Otherwise, it would instantly lead to chaos in the world.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was well aware of that.
So were the emperors of the other four dynasties.
Time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
In the Qingyun Mountain Range of the Jin Nation.
Two figures were walking in the mountain range.
They were Ye Ping and Xue Zhuan.
Lin Bei planned to stay in Chenzhou to appraise treasures. Although the Chenzhou Treasure Appraisal Meet had already ended, Lin Bei refused to leave because he hadn't found any treasures yet.
As for Ye Ping, he followed Xue Zhuan back to the sect.
"What?"
"You learned it?"
"What did you learn?"
Xue Zhuan asked.
He looked at Ye Ping with curiosity.
He was somewhat confused about what Ye Ping meant.
"Senior Brother, I seem to have learned the Omnipotent Wealth that you imparted to me a few days ago."
Ye Ping answered.
However, Xue Zhuan was dumbstruck.
'Omnipotent Wealth?'
'I made that up myself.'
'You managed to learn it?'
'Ye Ping, you might have extraordinary aptitude, but you shouldn't blow your trumpet like this.'
'If you want to say that you know a little bit of the Sword Dao or alchemy, that'd be fine. But you learned this too?'
On the mountain.
Xue Zhuan found it strange.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Ye Ping, but mainly because what he had taught Ye Ping was something that he had made up.
'You managed to learn it?'
'That doesn't make sense at all.'
'Do you know what immortal cultivation is about at all?'
"Little Junior Brother."
Even though he was criticizing Ye Ping, Xue Zhuan could only cough a little before continuing.
"Do you know why you were able to comprehend?"
Xue Zhuan asked Ye Ping.
Ye Ping was at a loss for an answer.
However, after thinking about it, Ye Ping tried to ask.
"Did you intervene?"
Ye Ping asked.
"That's right."
Xue Zhuan told Ye Ping. He didn't care if Ye Ping had learned it or not, he was going to boast first.
"I was scared that you can't learn it, so I spent lots of Spirit Stones to demonstrate it. But since you managed to learn it, it's all worth it."
Xue Zhuan's voice was calm and he seemed transcendent.
Ye Ping was, of course, extremely grateful.
"Thank you for your kindness, Fourth Senior Brother. Unfortunately, I can't repay you."
Ye Ping thanked him gratefully.
However, Xue Zhuan shook his head to gesture that there was no need to repay him.
"Ye Ping, you're my junior brother, you don't have to be so polite."
Xue Zhuan didn't think that Ye Ping had really learned it.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly spread from the Qingyun Dao Sect.
"Ye Ping, hurry."
A voice sounded.
It belonged to Xiao Muxue.
Upon hearing her voice, Ye Ping immediately headed to the sect.
Although he didn't know why she wanted to see him, he knew that it must be for something urgent.

Chapter 235: The Battle For the King's Territory, Li Changye Appears Again
In the Qingyun Dao Sect.
On the rear cliff, Xiao Muxue was standing alone.
She looked extremely depressed and was holding a wine gourd in hand while staying silent, seemingly thinking about something.
Ye Ping quickly walked over.
Upon seeing Xiao Muxue, he couldn't help but speak up.
"Greetings, Eldest Senior Sister. I'm back."
Things were different from before.
In the past, Xiao Muxue would be carefree and jovial when she saw Ye Ping. But now, she looked extremely solemn without a single smile on her face.
Ye Ping somehow felt curious and nervous because of her austerity.
"Junior Brother."
"I gave you a task some time ago, do you still remember?"
Xiao Muxue asked calmly.
"I know."
"Eldest Senior Sister, didn't you say to wait half a year?"
Ye Ping nodded. He remembered that she had given him a task, but at that time, she said that he could wait for half a year.
"Yes, you do have to wait for half a year. It's just meant for sharpening you and letting you gain some experience. I plan to take you to a place now."
Xiao Muxue said slowly, making Ye Ping extremely curious.
"Where to?"
Ye Ping asked.
"The King's Territory."
Xiao Muxue's words made Ye Ping even more curious than before.
King's Territory?
Ye Ping was rather shocked.
Seeing how confused Ye Ping was, Xiao Muxue looked extremely calm.
She then explained slowly, "The so-called King's Territory is actually an ancient ruin located on Extreme Middle Earth."
"This ruin is called the King's Territory because it would be activated once every 500 years, and each time it's activated, there will be an unprecedented battle."
"Anyone who can win will be the king of the generation and obtain unimaginable benefits. Ye Ping, do you want to go?"
Xiao Muxue asked.
She originally wanted Ye Ping to go elsewhere, but to her surprise, the King's Territory had been activated so she immediately thought of taking Ye Ping there.
The battle of the King's Territory was a creation, and a supreme one for Ye Ping.
Hearing what Xiao Muxue said, Ye Ping naturally felt excited.
However, he was still rather bewildered.
"Eldest Senior Sister, I'm naturally willing to go, but can I go there with my current cultivation level?"
It was not that Ye Ping didn't want to go, but rather, he felt that he wasn't qualified to.
Hence, he asked.
However, Xiao Muxue, who was on the cliff, took a sip of wine before looking at Ye Ping.
"Junior Brother, you're so silly."
"Since I asked you to go, it means that you're fit enough."
"However, the King's Territory is indeed very dangerous, but we immortal cultivators are put in dangerous situations all the time in the first place."
"There are battles for luck, battles between dynasties, battles for power, battles between immortal sects, and battles of immortal cultivation, all of which are for a chance of survival. If you're so timid and scared of everything, what's the point of talking about the Dao of immortal cultivation?"
Xiao Muxue chuckled.
Her voice made Ye Ping enlightened.
He thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. Besides, although he hadn't vied for anything, everything seemed unfavorable for him during his journey in immortal cultivation so far.
If he continued at this rate, it would indeed be bad for him.
After all, if he merely mediated and cultivated, he definitely wouldn't be able to reach the immortal realm.
If doing that would allow him to become an immortal, everyone would do the same. There would be no need to establish a sect.
At the thought of this, Ye Ping immediately nodded.
"Eldest Senior Sister, I understand."
Xiao Muxue nodded in satisfaction after hearing Ye Ping's answer.
She then continued to say, "Ye Ping, the battle for the King's Territory is just a test. Your priority is to stay alive."
"Don't be overly competitive."
Xiao Muxue reminded, for fear that Ye Ping would act rashly.
"I understand. But Eldest Senior Sister, when are we going to go to this King's Territory?"
Ye Ping asked.
"In seven days' time, I'll take you to King's Territory."
"In the meantime, you can get ready too. I know that many powerhouses will be at the battle for the King's Territory this time, some of whom are the geniuses of geniuses."
Xiao Muxue said seriously.
"Genius? Sure. Eldest Senior Sister, I'll go get ready."
Ye Ping was looking forward to it.
"Okay, let's go."
Xiao Muxue didn't say anything else.
Ye Ping turned around to leave.
After Ye Ping left, Xiao Muxue, who was on the rear cliff, also gradually disappeared.
An entire hour later.
Xiao Muxue appeared in the Qingyun Mountain Range.
At the same time, there was a figure standing in front of her.
It was a man.
If Ye Ping was here, he would probably be surprised.
The reason being, it was Nangong Jiantian.
"Greeting, Your Excellency."
In the woods, Nangong Jiantian bowed to Xiao Muxue respectfully.
To him, the person in front of him was the strongest existence in the Heavenly Supervisory who was also the true commander who held a supreme position.
"You're Nangong Jiantian, right?"
Xiao Muxue looked at the latter indifferently and asked in a calm tone.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Nangong Jiantian answered simply.
"What are you looking for me for?"
Xiao Muxue asked solemnly.
"Your Excellency, according to the investigation conducted by the Great Xia Dynasty Heavenly Supervisory, the marquis, Lord Qingming, has returned from his trip to the Great Li Dynasty, Great Zhou Dynasty, and Great Ze Dynasty."
"According to our investigation, Lord Qingming went to those three dynasties to negotiate the matter regarding the new policy."
Nangong Jiantian hung his head low while reporting those matters to Xiao Muxue.
"New policy?"
Xiao Muxue frowned slightly.
"Yes, Lord. All signs indicate that all the other four dynasties, except for the Great Qian Dynasty, are certainly keen on implementing the new policy."
"However, it is said that the Great Ze Dynasty seems to want to take the lead as opposed to the Great Xia Dynasty. So, there will be a friction between them, and the new policy will probably drag on for hundreds of years."
Nangong Jiantian said.
However, as soon as he said that, Xiao Muxue continued to speak.
"What's the superiors of the Great Xia Dynasty's take on this?"
Xiao Muxue asked solemnly.
"Your Excellency, the superiors unanimously believe that the new policy is against the law of the world and will lead to a great war between the dynasties and the immortal sects."
"Nowadays, the five dynasties occupy the world and the immortal sects have already been thoroughly suppressed. If the new policy is really implemented, I'm afraid the living beings will perish, so the Great Xia Dynasty Heavenly Supervisory would obey the orders of the headquarters."
Nangong Jiantian explained.
Although he did not understand the advantages and disadvantages, he knew how terrifying the new policy would be.
"Obey the headquarters?"
"Okay, go back and inform the top that the matter of the new policy is extremely important, and in a few days, my father will personally go to the Heavenly Supervisory of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Also, the King's Territory is about to open this time. Collate a list of names. I want it by tonight, got it?"
Xiao Muxue instructed Nangong Jiantian to carry out some tasks.
Without hesitation, he agreed.
Soon, as Nangong Jiantian left, Xiao Muxue couldn't help but sigh.
"New policy, new policy."
She muttered those words incessantly with a different gaze in her eyes.
At the same time…
In the Chen Nation of the Great Xia Dynasty.
In a mountain range.
Hundreds of figures appeared here.
There was a great array formation in the mountain range that was surrounded by blood. It was the array used for sealing one's senses and allowing one to avoid the deduction of heavenly secrets.
Those hundreds of figures were all the top echelons of the Fiendcelestial Cult and basically half of the leaders of the Fiendcelestial Cult were gathered there.
If a powerhouse was present and killed them, the Fiendcelestial Cult would suffer heavy damages.
Now that there were so many Fiendcelestial Cult experts, the scheme that they devised must be unique.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of everyone, clad in a large black robe and a hat. His appearance was unclear.
However, there were three red stripes on his black robe, and all of a sudden, everyone bowed to the figure.
"Greetings, Deputy Sect Master."
Even if hundreds of people spoke at the same time, their voices wouldn't spread out of the array.
It was the deputy sect master of the Fiendcelestial Cult.
"No need to be so polite."
He walked towards everyone and slowly spoke while looking at everyone.
"This time, I have summoned all of you here because I have a matter to discuss with you."
"Our disciples have been lurking in the Great Xia Dynasty. I just found out that Marquis Qingming, the Defender Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty, has already returned to the dynasty."
"Marquis Qingming returned this time to inform the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty of the new policy."
"If there is no mistake, the Great Li Dynasty, Great Zhou Dynasty, and Great Ze Dynasty dynasties have all agreed to the new policy."
"So, the sect master sent me here to inform you that the battle is about to begin. In the next few days, you should gradually retreat and inform all the undercover moles planted in the sacred lands of the major immortal sects."
"Tell them to spread the news and sow discord before the new policy is implemented. When necessary, create chaos in this world by all means, regardless of the consequences."
"As long as the immortal sects and the dynasties go to war, the gods that we worship will revive and by then, the world will belong to us, do you know?"
The voice of the deputy sect master was full of agitation. Without beating about the bush, he cut straight to the chase and revealed their agenda for gathering here.
After hearing his words, there was immediately an uproar.
"The four dynasties actually dare to impose a new policy? Are they really not afraid that chaos will break out in this world?"
"Deputy Sect Master, is this true?"
"Great, even heaven is helping us."
"Hmph the five dynasties have been ruling for so many years, it's time for a change."
"Let them be in a dogfight while we sit this out and reap the benefits."
Everyone sounded extremely excited.
However, at this moment, the deputy sect master could not help but speak.
"Okay."
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this time, especially for the cult. Besides, the sect master has personally gone to contact the sect masters of the other cults. When the time comes for our rise, we can wait for the heavenly fortune to bless us."
"However, during this time, the sect master has ordered that we have to make sure that we stay hidden and secretly drive a wedge between the dynasties and the immortal sects. If we appear, they'll probably blame us and make us the scapegoats."
"So you and others must pay attention. Understand?"
His voice was slightly cold as he informed the crowd.
"We understand."
Everyone nodded one after another.
At this point, someone spoke up.
"Deputy Sect Master, if nothing can be done, then what should we do about the King's Territory? We are still planning to send our disciples to the King's Territory to compete for creation."
Everyone else chimed in.
The battle for the King's Territory would only open once every 500 years.
There were a lot of opportunities for creation inside, and there were many forces that would nurture their disciples for going to the King's Territory.
After all, the chances of creation in the King's Territory were unimaginable.
If they missed it, it would be akin to losing a huge fortune.
"The sect master has instructed us not to send disciples there."
He informed the crowd not to send disciples to the King's Territory.
"Why?"
"Are we giving up a once-in-five-hundred-years opportunity just like that?"
"Sect Master…"
Everyone found those words a bit unacceptable.
After all, the King's Territory would open once every 500 years.
It was a grand and splendid event. Geniuses that were somewhat competent would be rather stable after entering, and they could obtain the chance of creation that would be difficult to obtain outside for decades or even centuries.
Hence, they indeed felt upset about being asked to give up.
The Fiendcelestial Cult did not gather together, but rather, they were scattered throughout the Great Qian Dynasty. Basically, they had a division in every nation and there would be secret competitions between divisions.
Hence, they also wanted the geniuses under them to become stronger and obtain more resources.
Now they were told not to compete.
They were naturally a little reluctant.
However, at this moment, the voice of the deputy sect master of the Fiendcelestial Cult sounded.
"The sect master is the one who doesn't want you to go to King's Territory."
"Do you guys want to disobey?"
His voice was cold.
At the mention of the sect master, everyone fell silent immediately.
No one dared to provoke the master.
However, even so, someone couldn't help but ask.
"Master Chen, can you reveal any information?"
Someone spoke up.
They thought that the sect master wouldn't issue that order for no reason.
Even if they were told not to reveal themselves, they shouldn't act like this.
Why would they give up such a good opportunity?
It was free.
"Yeah. Deputy Sect Master Chen, please tell us some information, otherwise we won't understand."
"Do you know something, Deputy Sect Master Chen?"
Everyone asked curiously.
He glanced at them.
Finally, he sighed and spoke slowly.
"I know, I'm afraid you probably won't give up unless I tell you all."
"According to the sect master, there will be a lot of elites who are going to the battle of the King's Territory this time, many of whom are genuine supreme elites."
"However, most importantly, the God-Slaying Devil Son is going to the King's Territory. Do you guys understand?"
At this point, everyone fell silent.
God-Slaying Devil Son.
He was the most terrifying Devil Son of the Fiendcelestial Cult and legend had it that he would be ruthless enough to kill his comrades once he decided to be brutal.
At the thought of this, everyone completely understood why the sect master didn't want to let them go to the King's Territory.
If they went, they would be courting their own deaths.
"Okay, go get ready."
The deputy sect master of the Fiendcelestial Cult then turned around and vanished.
At this moment, in Qingzhou mountains, Jin Nation.
A figure was staring at the stars in the sky quietly.
It was Li Changye.
A voice sounded slowly behind him.
"Changye, you've already learned the last move. Now, you're truly invincible."
"You've also entered the Golden Core realm. This is the King's Territory ancient token. Take it with you and embark on a life of invincibility."
"The battle of the King's Territory is your first battle to revive and rise again. Remember, you are unbeatable."
The mature voice made his heart shake.

Chapter 236: The Strongest Powerhouse of The Generation, Trumping The World
On the cliff.
Until now, Li Changye didn't know exactly why he was inferior to Ye Ping.
For example, the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.
It was just a minor Sword Dao competition in the first place. To put it bluntly, he could win it every single time even if he attended it 100 times.
However, he didn't expect to lose as soon as he left the sect, which was truly unacceptable to him.
At this moment…
Li Changye's master was standing behind him with his eyes full of helplessness.
Ever since Li Changye failed in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet, Li Changye's master had been listless and despondent all the time.
Fortunately, he had made a backup plan then, all because he was scared that Li Changye might face failure.
However, he didn't expect Li Changye to have lost so quickly in a clear-cut manner.
But this time, he was confident that Li Changyi would not be defeated.
"Master!"
"Will I really not be defeated this time?"
Li Changye asked with his back facing his master.
"You have already mastered the basics of the four absolute sword techniques of the sect."
"Changye, you have also reached the Golden Core realm, you can exert the full power of the four absolute sword techniques."
"Those below the Nascent Soul realm will be no match for you. Even if you encounter a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, you can still defeat them if you execute the last move."
Li Changye's master said seriously.
The so-called Four Absolute Sword Techniques were Absolute Human, Absolute Earth, Absolute Heaven, and Absolute Void.
There were a total of four moves, each of which was extremely terrifying. Back then, Li Changye did not learn that set of sword techniques.
It was the last thing his master had reserved.
Unfortunately, Li Changye was too incompetent.
He was defeated soon after he went down the mountain, making his master feel really helpless.
However, things were fine now. Li Changye had made some considerable achievements in learning those sword techniques, and he had even successfully broken through to the Golden Core realm.
With that natural talent, he probably wouldn't be defeated again.
Unless he was suppressed in terms of realm, it would basically be impossible for Li Changye to be defeated.
"Master!"
"I mean if…"
"If I lose again, what should I do?"
Li Changye couldn't help but ask.
He had developed some emotional trauma since the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet and was now terrified of failure.
Seeing the way Li Changye was, his master couldn't help but sigh.
Immediately afterwards, he spoke slowly.
"If you really get defeated again, there'll be only one way out."
"You shall take the path of no victory."
"If you use your failures to hone your Dao Heart and keep losing along the way, you will be able to embark on the path to invincibility."
"It's just that this path is very difficult because the path of no victory is not exactly seeking to be defeated in the true sense."
"Instead, you have to do your best each time and end up being defeated."
"You have to build a heart of invincibility under such extreme conditions, do you understand?"
Li Changye's master was staring at him with determination in his gaze.
"You shall take the path of no victory."
At this moment, Li Changye was a little surprised.
He didn't think that there would be such a logic.
"However, Changye, I still hope that you can continue on the path of invincibility and remain unbeatable."
"You must remember that the reason you lost in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet was that you weren't at your strongest then."
"If I had taught you the Four Absolute Sword Techniques then, you wouldn't have lost."
"There is already a seed planted in your heart that will affect you. So, forget everything and launch an invincible strike. Do you understand?"
He said earnestly.
He advised Li Changye.
"Strike all enemies?"
"Master, can I do it?"
Li Changye turned around and looked at his master.
"If you believe in yourself, you can do it. If you don't believe in yourself, you will never achieve supremacy no matter how strong you are."
"Remember, more often than not, you are your greatest enemy."
Li Changye's master said seriously.
He cautioned Li Changye in a bid to help him build an unbeatable heart.
However, at this moment, Li Changye took a deep breath and his gaze was blazing while his eyes were full of battle intent.
"Master, I have understood. This time, I won't embarrass you again."
"I will definitely defeat everyone and truly step on the path of invincibility."
"I will definitely defeat him too."
Li Changye said seriously.
The latter nodded in satisfaction.
"Changye, you've regained your confidence. I finally see the old you. You didn't let me down."
"Changye, go ahead, go down the mountain. This is the token for King's Territory. Take it with you to the King's Territory."
Li Changye's master took a deep breath with a look of gratification in his eyes.
"Yes, Master."
Without further ado, Li Changye went straight down the mountain with an intense gaze.
He had gone down the mountain.
He was alone.
This time, he was going to truly embark on the path of invincibility.
"I hope to meet that person called Ye Ping again!"
"I won't lose to him this time. I will show him what it means to be a real genius, a real powerhouse, and a truly invincible person."
He was extremely confident.
At the same time…
In the Great Xia Dynasty Academy.
The palace was extremely luxurious and the walls were embellished with gemstones and jade.
In the palace, there were several figures sitting cross-legged in the main hall.
The leader was an old man who had a zither in front of him and two rows of people beside him.
They were of mixed gender.
The four of them were valiant-looking and were exuding an extraordinary aura, especially the first man on the left. He was clad in a starry robe and gave off an indescribable vibe.
The second man was also extremely extraordinary. He was wearing a blue robe and holding a fan in hand with an extremely composed gaze in his eyes, as if he was an otherworldly expert.
As for the two women, they seemed extremely noble. One was dressed in purple while the other was dressed in red. They were beautiful and had an extraordinary aura.
They were all elites of the Great Xia Dynasty.
They were all famous existences in the world.
At this moment, there were old voices in the palace.
"You have to pay attention to the King's Territory battle this time. I heard that the Devil Son of the Fiendcelestial Cult would be heading there too. If any one of you can kill the God-Slaying Devil Son, they shall be the leader of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy."
The elder's voice was very calm. He told the four of them that the God-Slaying Devil Son was going to the King's Territory too.
"God-Slaying Devil Son? I heard that this person will be really ruthless when he starts killing. Master, do you think it's safe to let us go?"
"Actually, why don't we just stop this God-Slaying Devil Son? There's no point in doing so much, it's a waste of time."
The man in blue said sluggishly.
He stretched his back.
However, as soon as he said that, the man in the starry robe humphed softly in disdain of the man in blue.
"It's just a King's Territory, what's there to be worried about? We are the elites of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy, how can we be scared of a Devil Son?"
His tone was full of confidence and he seemed to be fearless.
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Changtian is definitely not afraid of this mere Devil Son. Who are you? You're the most powerful elite of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy. But I am not. If you're willing, you can just go to the Fiendcelestial Cult's lair to kill them."
The man in blue said nonchalantly with a sarcastic tone.
"Junior Brother Wang, what do you mean by that?"
"I'm your Junior Brother, if there's anything you're unhappy about, just say so. Why do you have to be so sarcastic here?"
The man in the starry robe continued. He didn't look at him at all and his face was indifferent.
"You're making it sound too serious. After all, you're only 20 years old, but you're already the strongest elite of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy. You have also cultivated to the Major Perfection of the Golden Core realm. Besides, you have already cultivated to the fifth realm of the Heavenly Dragon. I don't dare to be sarcastic to you at all."
"What I mean is very simple. I won't get involved in the battle of the King's Territory this time. God knows if there will be any demons here."
"If a king really appears here, won't you be courting death?"
The man in blue sounded extremely casual, but what he meant was quite simple, and that was, he didn't want to join the battle of the King's Territory this time.
However, before the man in the starry robe could speak, the elder couldn't help but speak up.
"Chen'er, you might not be able to go this time too."
His tone was calm, and he didn't seem to have any slight disgust for the argument between his disciples. Instead, he seemed to have already gotten used to it.
"Master? You're being forceful?"
The latter frowned a little.
"Chen'er, you were right about something just now. The heavenly secret platform of the Great Xia Dynasty has predicted that there will be an unprecedented change and the birth of the King's Territory was created by the twelve Immortal Kings."
"It will be opened once every 500 years, and the winner will be able to obtain a reward from the Immortal King. But the heavenly secret platform has predicted this time that there will be an inexplicable change."
"If the prediction is correct, it will be the last battle in the King's Territory this time."
The elder said slowly.
However, his words made their expressions change.
King's Territory?
It was one of the most famous relics in the Immortal World, and it was said to have been created by the twelve Immortal Kings of ancient times.
The twelve Immortal Kings chose a blessed land and then put their lifelong masterpieces, as well as treasures, into the King's Territory.
They also created 3,000 ancient tokens for the King's Territory that would be opened once every 500 years. With the ancient token, one would be able to step into King's Territory, and as soon as one did, the ancient token would disappear. It would then appear in this world again after 100 years.
They would have to wait for the next opening.
There would be different changes in the King's Territory each time, but no matter what the changes were, they would revolve around one law.
"Nurturing poison."
Yes, it was the process of putting 3,000 elites into the King's Territory and pitting them against each other. Of course, one could choose not to participate in the massacre and instead stay in the King's Territory to snatch for creation.
The final winner would be rewarded by the Immortal King.
Generally speaking, the reward would usually be a Dao artifact or an inheritance of the same value. Occasionally, an immortal artifact would be given.
For others, Dao artifacts and inheritances were extremely precious.
However, for the top elites of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy, they might be precious but not as precious as their lives.
Hence, the man in blue was reluctant to go.
However, after hearing those words, everyone was naturally curious.
"The last time? Master, what do you mean by that?"
"Yes, the King's Territory has been derived from ancient times and it will open once every 500 years. Why would it vanish?"
"Master, you're not trying to dupe us into going, are you?"
Everyone looked at their master curiously.
"Nonsense, how can I be deceiving you?"
"The King's Territory might be opened for the last time this time, so whoever wins it this time, he might get to obtain the real inheritance of the Immortal King."
"I've heard that the Twelve Immortal Kings have jointly sacrificed a treasure that will shock the world and has supreme miraculous uses."
"So, are you really not going this time?"
The elder asked while looking at everyone.
In an instant, even the most sluggish-looking man in blue couldn't help but seem confused.
They might not care about Dao artifacts, inheritances, and quasi-immortal artifacts.
However, the inheritance of the Immortal King was different, especially since he was one of the Twelve Immortal Kings.
There was no way they wouldn't care about it.
"Master, what other evidence can we rely on except the Heavenly Secret Platform?"
The man in blue continued to ask, seemingly not trusting of his father.
"The King's Territory will open once every 500 years and each time, there will be 3,000 tokens, right?"
He asked.
"Yes."
Everyone answered.
"This time, it is said that 30,000 ancient tokens have appeared and there are restrictions."
"In the previous King's Territory, as long as you had an ancient token and your realm did not exceed the Nascent Soul realm, you would be able to enter."
"This time, the realm requirement may still be fixed below the Nascent Soul realm, but most importantly, there's an elite ladder at the entrance of the King's Territory. Only those who have crossed it can enter, do you understand?"
The elder explained.
Everyone believed him.
30,000 ancient tokens was quite a terrifying figure.
However, the more terrifying thing was the Elite Ladder.
In the past, an ancient token was all one would need to enter the King's Territory and apart from the inheritance of the Immortal King, there would also be countless precious treasures, spirit herbs, and Dharmic Dao. Hence, some cultivators would enter for the sake of getting treasures.
However, this time, one had to be an elite to enter.
What did that mean?
It meant that it was really going to be a brutal fight.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the elder continued to speak.
"So, if nothing goes wrong, there should be a real victor emerging from the King's Territory this time!"
"Whoever becomes the champion will be famous in the world and obtain the supreme inheritance of the Twelve Immortal Kings."
"Are you guys still willing to go?"
At this juncture…
All of a sudden, all four of them seemed to be eager and were all looking forward to it.
At the same time…
In the Great Qian dynasty.
The Great Li Dynasty!
The Great Zhou Dynasty!
The Great Ze Dynasty!
The Ten Great Sacred Places, the Alliance of Itinerant Cultivators, the cults, and the demons were all making plans for the King's Territory.
The reason being…
This time, a true victor of the world would be born.
They would also obtain the inheritance of the Twelve Immortal Kings.
For the forces, the inheritance of the Twelve Immortal Kings was invaluable.
For individuals, the title of being the victor of his generation was an irresistible temptation.
A victor of his generation!
An elite victor of a generation.
Which immortal cultivator would be able to resist the temptation of gaining such a reputation?

Chapter 237: Su Changyu, I'm Going Back to The Great Xia Dynasty Just For A Closure
The Great Xia Dynasty.
Xia Qian was sitting inside the main hall.
He seemed unusually quiet during this period of time.
Ever since he had done everything, Xia Qian was certain of what he could and could not do, say, or meddle with.
Once his plans were leaked, it might cause him to die a terrible death.
He was going to kill his brother.
That was an unethical and immoral thing that would spark a great controversy and bring hate upon himself. Not a single scholar would dare to support him.
Hence, he had to do it very secretly.
However, there was something that Xia Qian had to do.
That was the Seven Kings relics.
In order to obtain the treasure of the Seven Kings relics, he had put in a lot of effort and even told the Great Ze Dynasty about the non-poisonous pill formula.
However, that was also the reason that he chose to give up the battle of the King's Territory.
Although he knew that the King's Territory was more valuable, he also understood that it was not something he could covet.
If it were the Seven Kings' relics that were within the Great Xia Dynasty, he would be able to get his hands on them, but the King's Territory had a great significance as it belonged to the five major dynasties and was left behind by the world's cultivators.
Even if he coveted it, he wouldn't take the risk.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the main hall.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
The figure appeared and knelt in front of the Crown Prince.
"Shoot."
Xia Qian said in a calm voice.
"Your Highness, I have clearly investigated this battle for the King's Territory. The five dynasties have sent top elites to compete in the King's Territory."
"The ten sacred lands, the cults, the demons, and some external forces have also gathered in the King's Territory."
He informed Xia Qian of the information he had found out.
"Alright."
"Since this is the case, the prediction of the Heavenly Secret Platform should be correct. The battle for the King's Territory is probably an unprecedented variable."
"My plan can be implemented too."
Xia Qian nodded in satisfaction.
He planned to personally go to the Seven Kings relics while the others competed in the King's Territory.
As long as all the geniuses headed to the King's Territory, there would be no one to compete with him for the Seven Kings relics.
"Your Highness, are we really not going to participate in the battle of the King's Territory this time?"
The person asked as he looked at the Crown Prince with his eyes full of curiosity.
"No."
Xia Qian took a deep breath.
He then spoke slowly, "The King's Territory is a small world created by the Twelve Immortal Kings during ancient times. It would open once every 500 years and this might be the last time it opens, but that's also the reason that I can't participate in it."
"There is obviously a great variable in this. Although there is creation behind it, it will likewise contain greater danger afterwards."
"I don't need the inheritance of the Twelve Immortal Kings, the inheritance treasures of the Seven Ancient Kings are not inferior either."
"Okay, the battle of the King's Territory will take place in five days. Get your people to make arrangements for this matter."
After saying that, Xia Qian's eyes were full of confidence and expectations.
Although the Twelve Immortal Kings were more famous than the Seven Ancient Kings, they could not be compared.
The Twelve Immortal Kings were supreme immortals who existed in the early ancient times.
The Seven Ancient Kings were supreme immortals who existed in the late ancient times.
In comparison, the Seven Ancient Kings were indeed unlike the Twelve Immortal Kings, but they were just as famous as the most powerful immortals in the world.
Besides, the competition in the King's Territory of the Twelve Immortal Kings was very stiff.
On the other hand, there was no one in the Seven Kings relics, so he was free to pick them up as he pleased.
He was full of expectations.
During this period of time, Xia Qian had been in a good mood.
At this moment…
In the Qingyun Dao Sect of Jin Nation.
On the rear cliff, Ye Ping was cultivating.
Before he went down the mountain, he had already entered the Golden Core realm.
However, during this period of time, Ye Ping did not cultivate properly and also slowed down because he thought that he couldn't be too eager with it.
Now, he was about to go to the so-called King's Territory.
Ye Ping naturally had to seize the time to properly improve his cultivation.
He sat cross-legged on the rear cliff.
The spiritual energy surged into his body.
A Golden Core was shining brightly in his dantian.
The Golden Core was saturated and large like a bright pear.
However, at this moment, the Golden Core suddenly split into two and a white Golden Core appeared.
It was Ye Ping's Golden Core Dao.
He wanted to condense nine Golden Cores.
The spiritual energy was surging, and Ye Ping opened the Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rapidly.
A day later, the two Golden Cores were of the same size.
However, on the same day, the third Golden Core split open again. It was a green Golden Core.
Time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day.
Crack!
With a loud sound, the fifth Golden Core emerged.
It meant that Ye Ping had also stepped into the mid-stage perfected Golden Core realm.
Nine Golden Cores signified the Major Perfection of the Golden Core realm.
In his dantian, there were the colors gold, white, green, red, and blue.
There were Golden Cores of five colors that formed a circle around Ye Ping's dantian.
Golden Cores of nine colors were signs of Greater Mastery.
However, in order to produce more Golden Cores, he would need more and more spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The reason that Ye Ping managed to form five of them previously was because the spiritual energy that he consumed earlier was still manageable and also because he had saved up a lot of spiritual energy.
Now that he had used up so much spiritual energy, there was no way he could continue cultivating.
At this moment, Xiao Muxue appeared.
She was standing near Ye Ping and sizing him up. Ye Ping's eyes had now turned golden.
A moment later, Xiao Muxue nodded in satisfaction.
"Ye Ping is really a supreme elite. How dare he form Golden Cores. Tsk, tsk, he seems to be in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, but I bet even a cultivator who's in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm might not be able to defeat Ye Ping."
"Ye Ping, you've only cultivated for almost a year and your growth rate is simply exaggerated."
"I wonder if the battle in the King's Territory can allow you to obtain creation. If you can, it'll be much easier to handle what we have to do next."
Xiao Muxue murmured in her heart.
At the thought of this, Xiao Muxue couldn't help but speak up slowly.
"Little Junior Brother."
Ye Ping immediately snapped out of his trance.
He looked at Xiao Muxue and immediately bowed.
"Greetings, Senior Sister."
Ye Ping seemed extremely stern.
However, Xiao Muxue could not help but chuckle gently.
"Who?"
She asked Ye Ping.
Ye Ping was suddenly shocked.
'I addressed her correctly.'
'She is Eldest Senior Sister.'
Ye Ping looked at Xiao Muxue with some confusion while the latter had some joy in her eyes.
In an instant, Ye Ping knew that she had started her antics again.
However, Ye Ping really didn't know how to answer.
"Senior Sister, how am I wrong?"
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but ask.
"Ye Ping, what did you call me?"
Xiao Muxue asked solemnly.
"Senior Sister."
Ye Ping answered seriously.
"What Senior Sister?"
Xiao Muxue continued to ask.
"Eldest…"
"…"
Ye Ping stayed silent for a long time.
'Seriously?'
'No way.'
'Eldest Senior Sister, why have you started being silly again?'
However, he genuinely did not know what to say.
He never thought that she could crack such a joke.
'Ugh.'
Ye Ping stopped talking. He thought that Xiao Muxue had finally begun acting like a normal person, but to his surprise, she was never normal in the first place.
Looking at the silent Ye Ping, Xiao Muxue couldn't help but laugh out loud in joy.
After a while, Xiao Muxue patted Ye Ping's shoulder.
She said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Ye Ping, come with me."
However, Xiao Muxue didn't plan to continue teasing Ye Ping and instead took him away from that place.
However, Xiao Muxue obviously wasn't going to just leave right away. She waved her hand and in an instant, a jade flying boat appeared in front of Ye Ping.
The flying boat was made of jade and it looked extremely beautiful.
As Ye Ping stepped on the flying boat, it soon vanished into the void.
Just like that.
A day later.
In the sacred land of the central region.
It was the central point of the five dynasties.
It was also known to the cultivators of the world as the Central Sacred Land, which was rumored to be the birthplace of cultivators.
Moreover, the five dynasties were also interested in this region, and hence, it did not belong to a single force.
There were countless myths and legends about the Central Sacred Land.
There were legends of the Immortal Kings.
There were also legends of ancient immortal treasures.
In fact, there were now many people who believed that there were immortals in the Central Sacred Land.
However, there were indeed people who obtained the opportunity of creation in the sacred land.
However, today…
In the most central part of the Central Sacred Land…
A colorful immortal door appeared in the few canyons.
The immortal door was massive and it was a full hundred feet tall with peculiar rays of light flowing throughout. It looked incredibly extraordinary.
The massive immortal door was towering above, attracting their attention.
It was the entrance of the King's Territory.
The immortal door was also called the door of the Immortal King.
A ladder appeared outside the Immortal Door, which was the Elite Ladder.
Only the true elites could enter.
Of course, if one had the ancient token, one would be able to slightly reduce the requirements.
On the sky dome, a few figures walked towards the door.
There were also countless cultivators standing tall on the surrounding canyons.
Today was the day of the opening of King's Territory.
The battle for the King's Territory was originally an event that would happen once every 500 years.
Although there would be casualties, most cultivators who entered would more or less obtain some creation.
Be it cultivators or mortals, they would not be able to resist the benefits at all.
At this moment, a jade boat appeared in the sky.
It was Xiao Muxue's jade boat.
No one would pay much attention to such a jade boat.
After all, those who could come to the King's Territory were all figures of status.
There were many Crown Princes, leaders of sacred lands, and elites.
Ye Ping stood on the jade boat and looked down at everything below.
He looked rather shocked.
There were cultivators on the few canyons, looking rather intimidating.
"Ye Ping, look, that's the entrance of King's Territory."
"Take this ancient token and go there."
Xiao Muxue said while handing the ancient token to Ye Ping.
"Okay, Eldest Senior Sister."
Ye Ping nodded and grabbed the ancient token.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Muxue continued to speak.
"Ye Ping, bear my words in mind."
"Firstly, there are many levels in the King's Territory, and each one is different from the other. But as long as you follow the rules, there won't be a problem."
"Secondly, don't trust anyone. Your own interests are the most important, and so is your life. Don't lose everything you have for a small benefit."
"Thirdly, if you get a Spirit Pill, eat it right away. If you get a treasure, use it right away. Don't save it."
"Within the King's Territory, the realm is restricted below the Nascent Soul realm, but it can be raised after entering it. There are some geniuses who suppress their cultivation levels before increasing them to the Nascent Soul realm after entering the King's Territory."
"It's very disadvantageous to a Golden Core realm cultivator like you."
"So, if you get an immortal herb or Spirit Pill after you go in, eat it immediately. Don't think about saving it and giving it to others, got it?"
Before leaving, Xiao Muxue also deliberately gave Ye Ping a few instructions, for fear that something would happen in King's Territory.
"Don't worry, Eldest Senior Sister. I understand."
Ye Ping nodded.
He understood those things.
"Okay, since you understand, go ahead."
Xiao Muxue nodded and then patted Ye Ping's shoulder.
However, Xiao Muxue pulled Ye Ping again afterwards.
"Wait a minute."
After saying those things, she took out a gourd of wine and handed it to Ye Ping.
"Ye Ping, if you encounter any danger, take a sip of wine, it will help."
"Don't drink too much, just have a mouthful."
Xiao Muxue handed the wine gourd to Ye Ping.
She didn't say anything else afterwards.
"Thank you, Senior Sister. I won't let you down."
Ye Ping took the wine jar and flew into the distance.
Soon, Ye Ping arrived at the Elite Ladder.
He stepped on the ladder.
In an instant, the ladder emitted light and Ye Ping had passed.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ping vanished from the immortal door.
Watching Ye Ping leave, Xiao Muxue's eyes were full of curiosity.
"I wonder what realm Ye Ping will reach after he comes out of the King's Territory."
She was somewhat curious, but she soon looked away.
At this moment, in the Great Qian Dynasty palace.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at Su Changyu quietly.
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, Chu Rouyun, gazed at him, reluctant to part with him.
"Changyu, do you really want to go to the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Chu Rouyun looked at Su Changyu and asked.
"Yes."
In the main hall, Su Changyu nodded seriously.
He wanted to go back to the Great Xia Dynasty to look for Taishang Xuanji and ask him for a clear explanation.
He came down the mountain this time to look for Taishang Xuanji.
God knows what happened.
He arrived in the Great Qian Dynasty.
Since there was nothing to do now, he planned to return to the Great Xia Dynasty sooner.
'Wouldn't it be nice to meet Taishang Xuanji sooner and make things clear?'
"What's good about the Great Xia Dynasty? Changyu, don't you like the Great Qian Dynasty?"
"Is there something wrong?"
"Did someone provoke you?"
"Do you still hate Fang Li? If so, I'll have Fang Li come over and apologize to you personally. If you're still displeased, I'll get him to come here right away."
"You can hit or punish him as you please."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at Ye Ping with his eyes full of expectation.
He didn't want Su Changyu to go to the Great Xia Dynasty.
'Isn't it good to stay in the Great Qian Dynasty?'
There was plenty to eat and drink. Apart from the throne, he could give Su Changyu anything he wanted.
He looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Su Changyu immediately shook his head.
"That's not the case."
"I'm going back to the Great Xia Dynasty to get some closure."
Su Changyu said.
In an instant, the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't help but be shocked.
'Get some closure?'
'What kind of closure?'

Chapter 238: Do I Need To Be Protected?
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at Su Changyu quietly.
He did not understand what kind of closure Su Changyu was going to get.
Su Changyu looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty in bewilderment.
He looked a little perplexed.
'Why do you have to poke your nose into my business and ask me what I'm going to the Great Xia Dynasty for?'
'What do you want to do with me by making me stay?'
'Do you really want me to marry a princess?'
Su Changyu had now already accepted that the other party was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, the problem was that Su Changyu didn't want to marry a princess.
He wasn't interested in women, much less becoming a princess' husband.
After all, being the princess' husband was too troublesome.
He thought that it would be better to hurry back, look for Taishang Xuanji to handle his own matters, and then return to his sect to live a carefree life.
Although it would be good to possess royal power, he was an ordinary cultivator and there was no need for him to get involved.
Since ancient times, kings had always been the most ruthless and that was a common saying that Su Changyu had heard scholars say countless times before.
Naturally, he would not get involved.
However, the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty did not know what Su Changyu was thinking. The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty merely looked at Su Changyu curiously and wondered what kind of closure Su Changyu wanted to get.
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty was even more curious.
They both looked at Su Changyu with a gaze full of curiosity.
Sensing their gazes, Su Changyu somehow felt awkward.
He didn't know whether he should say it or not.
After all, it was his personal matter.
However, when looking at their gazes, he finally sighed before speaking slowly.
"To get some closure for something that's related to my background and identity."
Su Changyu said.
His answer immediately made the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty energized.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty asked, "Regarding your identity? What do you mean?"
He was extremely agitated and he didn't know exactly what Su Changyu meant, but he could vaguely guess something so he couldn't help but ask about it.
"Changyu, you don't have to feel embarrassed. Fate has allowed us to meet each other. Since you called me Aunt, just feel free to tell me. Don't feel embarrassed."
Chu Rouyun told Su Changyu not to feel embarrassed and to just speak what was on his mind.
They were extremely interested when they heard Su Changyu mention the matter of his background.
"Ah!"
"In this case, just tell us, Changyu."
Su Changyu sighed, though he didn't know why they were so interested in him.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that they didn't have any malicious intent. Besides, it was perhaps very boring in the palace, so Su Changyu decided to explain it.
"It's actually a long story."
"I was originally an orphan and I was adopted by my master. I've gotten used to living a life of suffering."
"My master said that I became an orphan because of a flood."
"All along, I also thought I was an orphan and that my parents had probably died long ago."
"However, some time ago, I encountered someone who was in danger when I was traveling. As a Sword Dao cultivator, I naturally drew my sword to help."
"I used my sword techniques to save two people, one called Old Xuan and the other called Old Xia."
Su Changyu slowly recounted the past, adding more details that he had made up as he went along.
The emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty were somehow energized after hearing it.
'Old Xuan? Old Xia?'
'Isn't that Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty?'
'He helped them when they were in need?'
'Aren't their cultivation levels very high?'
The two of them were extremely curious as they were pondering about something.
"Were they very weak?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.
'That's impossible. The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Old Xuan may not be supreme experts, but their cultivation levels are at the Essence Soul realm, especially the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. He has the luck of the Son of Heaven."
'How can they be in danger?'
'Besides, even if he wasn't competent enough, he'd be protected by peerless experts.'
Hence, they looked at Su Changyu curiously.
Su Changyu responded seriously in the face of the question.
"So weak."
Su Changyu answered.
"Seriously?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't help but speak up, feeling that it was a bit unreasonable.
When he said that, Su Changyu got a little furious.
'What do you mean?'
'Don't you trust me, Sword Immortal Su Changyu?'
'Am I such a person?'
'I am a peerless Sword Immortal!'
'Am I the type to lie?'
"If you don't believe me, I won't say anything."
Su Changyu got a little angry.
'If you don't believe anything, what do you want me to say?'
Sensing that Su Changyu was a little angry, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was momentarily at a loss for words as he thought that he had said the wrong thing.
"Okay, just stop talking and let Changyu speak."
Seeing that Su Changyu seemed a little uncomfortable, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty told the emperor to stop talking.
She said to Su Changyu, "Changyu, continue."
Upon hearing this, Su Changyu immediately smiled awkwardly. The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty could only smile sheepishly in front of Su Changyu and Chu Rouyun.
"Changyu, what happened after that?"
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.
"After that, I fended off all the bandits and saved them."
"However, when the two of them saw that I had saved them, they decided to follow me and ask me for some advice."
"I thought that since we were fated, I decided to protect them. Perhaps, that's the reason that they gave me a few sets of clothes."
"However, I gradually sensed that something was wrong."
Su Changyu's voice was very calm and he spoke very slowly.
The two of them were gradually immersed in listening to his recount, especially after hearing that, they looked at Su Changyu curiously, unsure of what he had sensed.
"What did you sense?"
The two of them couldn't help but ask.
They chorused in unison, making Su Changyu even more curious as he didn't know why they were so concerned about his affairs.
However, after thinking about it, Su Changyu could not help but say, "I gradually discovered that Old Xia seems to have some affection for me. He always looks at me with a strange gaze and even gave me some precious clothes."
"I didn't know it at first, but afterwards, my master said something to enlighten me. He said that Old Xia is very likely to be my biological father."
Su Changyu said slowly.
Actually, it was Old Xuan but Su Changyu said it was Old Xia because he felt that he shouldn't tell them the truth since they had just met.
Even if they were the emperor and the empress, so what? It would be better to leave a backup plan.
He couldn't possibly stay silent after meeting them.
Su Changyu was not a fool.
He had deliberately kept his guard up, so he said that it was Old Xia instead of Old Xuan.
However, Su Changyu's words made them even more agitated.
"The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty met Changyu a long time ago, but he didn't breathe a word about it. If Xu Yang hadn't brought Changyu here, I'm afraid we would still be in the dark until now. Old Xia is really inhumane."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was furious. He used his divine senses to send a voice transmission to communicate with the empress.
"I really don't know why Changling would fall for such a person. If he's not willing to tell others, that's fine, but Changyu is your nephew. The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty has gone overboard by keeping it from you."
Chu Rouyun had a good temper, but she couldn't help but curse at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty resentfully at this moment.
"What do you feel after learning that he's your biological father? Also, what do you mean get some closure? Are you going to acknowledge him?"
However, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty still asked the question she wanted to ask as she looked at Su Changyu.
At this moment, the emperor was very curious too.
He didn't know what decision Su Changyu had come to.
"No."
Su Changyu shook his head as he looked at the emperor and empress.
He then said slowly, "I am going to the Great Xia Dynasty because I want to sever ties with them, though it's very likely that he's my biological father."
"But he didn't treat my mother well and abandoned me. I don't hate him, I just won't acknowledge that he's my biological father."
"I guess my mother feels the same way."
Su Changyu revealed his innermost thoughts.
He thought that Taishang Xuanji had abandoned his mother and him for the sake of glory and wealth, but they were biological father and son after all. He couldn't possibly hate him.
However, in terms of morals and ethics, he really couldn't forgive Taishang Xuanji for abandoning his mother.
As soon as he said that, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty almost agreed.
He was excited and happy, but he didn't expect Su Changyu to go to the Great Xia Dynasty to sever ties with the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
'Very good, great.'
'He should sever ties with him. Is the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty really that impressive?'
'Is the weakest emperor of the five dynasties very impressive?'
'What does the Great Xia Dynasty have that the Great Qian Dynasty doesn't?'
Although the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't give the throne to Su Changyu, he could let him be a king.
Besides, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was indeed not a good person. The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty utterly detested him.
In his opinion, his sister was killed by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, and no matter what, he could not forgive him.
However, he never thought that his nephew would be so sensible. To be honest, he was really worried that Su Changyu would be tempted by the benefits offered by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, he never expected his nephew to be so bright and intelligent.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was overjoyed.
He was truly elated.
In short, he was pleased with the fact that Su Changyu hated the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Ahem!
Sensing that the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't conceal his smile, the empress couldn't help but cough a little.
Although she was overjoyed too, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had gone overboard.
After all, there was no reason for him to be so glad that Su Changyu wanted to sever ties with his father.
Otherwise, Su Changyu would suspect that there was something wrong with them.
Indeed, Su Changyu's gaze seemed peculiar when he was looking at them.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty immediately fell silent and his face was no longer as pale as before.
Su Changyu, who was at the side, was rather confused.
'Why are you so glad that I'm about to sever ties with my father?'
'Are you wishing for me to be an orphan?"'
However, Su Changyu remained calm on the surface. After all, this was the Great Qian Dynasty Palace and not his sect. He had to pay attention to his words.
The emperor couldn't help but speak again.
"Your mother sounds really pitiful."
"Your father is really inhumane."
The emperor clenched his fist as he truly meant those words.
However, Su Changyu was even more displeased after hearing his words.
'What do you mean by that?'
'What do you mean my father is inhumane?'
'What about me then?'
'You may be the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty but you shouldn't say this.'
'Do you really think I, the supreme Sword Immortal, is a pushover?'
Su Changyu criticized him in his head.
On the surface, he could only bear it.
It couldn't be helped since he was on their turf. He had to keep a low profile.
"Your Majesty, you have gone overboard. Changyu's mother is a pitiful person but Changyu's father. Uh…"
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty wanted to say something to give them an out, but after thinking about it, she felt that he was really inhumane.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Changyu, since you are going to the Great Xia Dynasty for this, I'll let you go. But after you sever ties with your father, what do you plan to do?"
"Do you want to come to the Great Qian Dynasty?"
"Since you are my nephew, how about I betroth a princess to you and make you a monarch too?"
The empress asked if Su Changyu wanted to join them.
"Yes, yes, I will give you a title as a prince or a monarch and let you marry a princess. Changyu, our princesses are all beautiful, you may choose to marry one, two, or three as you please."
The emperor nodded in agreement to the empress' words.
In his eyes, he would be willing to do anything as long as Su Changyu would agree to come to the Great Qian Dynasty.
After hearing these words, Su Changyu could not help but sneer in his head.
Indeed…
Indeed…
'Indeed, they've taken a liking to my good looks. Why do I always encounter such things?'
Seeing that Su Changyu was remaining silent, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty could not help but continue to speak.
"How about this, Changyu, I'll send a few people to escort you to the Great Xia Dynasty this time, lest you encounter any trouble. As for the rest, we'll talk about it another time."
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty suggested.
Su Changyu was relieved to hear her words.
'That's more like it.'
He was the most terrified of having a woman betrothed to him. He felt that he was too young to get married because he hadn't boasted enough yet.
He couldn't get married just yet.
It was much better to have a few experts escort him.
Su Changyu gave his answer.
"I'm a peerless Sword Immortal, why would I need someone to protect me?"
Su Changyu said.
His expression was indifferent.
After hearing what he said himself, Su Changyu's smile stiffened.
'Oh dear, it's acting up again.'
The emperor and empress felt awkward after hearing his words.
However, they thought that he made sense.
Su Changyu's cultivation level shouldn't be too bad as he had a good physique even though he seemed to be in the Qi Refinement realm on the surface.
"Well, Changyu, go back and get a good rest. I'll arrange the Teleportation Array for you, how about that?"
The empress said so.
"Alright, thank you Aunt and Uncle."
Su Changyu nodded and bowed to them before turning around to leave.
After Su Changyu left, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't help but frown.
"Rouyun, Changyu doesn't want anything, what should we do?"
"The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty has given him so many things, should we do something too?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't help but ask after Su Changyu left.
"Yes, we should."
"I know what to give Changyu. He'll definitely accept it, but it might be a little unfair to the Crown Prince."
The empress explained.
After hearing her words, the emperor immediately understood.
Immediately after that, he said straightforwardly, "Who cares if it's fair or not? My nephew matters the most in this world. Okay, I understand what you mean, leave this to me to handle. Accompany Changyu well in the next few days."
After saying that, the emperor stood up. He already had an idea in mind.

Chapter 239: The First Round Of The King's Territory, Great Qian Dynasty
The King's Territory.
Ye Ping crossed the Immortal Door and soon saw a huge waterfall.
The waterfall was gushing down in a spectacular manner.
At this moment, a voice sounded as a few beams of light landed on Ye Ping's hand.
"The first round of the King's Territory is the competition for the Immortal King's ancient token and all participants will receive three Immortal King ancient tokens."
"When one collects twelve Immortal King ancient tokens, they can enter the second level of the King's Territory."
"Each Immortal King ancient token can offset a single death and allow one to be resurrected once in the King's Territory. Without an Immortal King ancient token, you will be completely dead once you die."
The ancient voice told Ye Ping what the first round of the King's Territory was about.
On the other hand, after Ye Ping received the three Immortal King ancient tokens, he was sucked into the waterfall by a powerful force before he could even ask any more questions.
However, in an instant, Ye Ping truly arrived in the King's Territory.
In the King's Territory.
There were various mountains that were standing tall between heaven and earth and numerous ancient trees that were full of vitality. Upon closer look, Ye Ping realized that there were various precious spiritual beasts that were walking around in the King's Territory.
It was just like a dense primordial forest with many crises and dangers lurking in the dark.
At this moment, a voice spread into his ears.
Boom!
It was the sound of an explosion.
Ye Ping opened his eyes and immediately saw a mountain shattering nearby, causing the rubble and dust to spread around for miles.
Before he could react, Ye Ping immediately sensed a huge danger.
Whoosh!
He vanished right on the spot and a pagoda suddenly fell from the sky before blasting onto the spot that Ye Ping was at.
The void was compressed to the point of exploding, forming a substance that was like a massive black hole.
'Did someone launch a sneak attack?'
In an instant, Ye Ping could sense that someone was sneaking up on him.
The pagoda disappeared into the void immediately.
The perpetrator clearly didn't dare to reveal his true body.
Unfortunately, he shouldn't have provoked Ye Ping.
Ye Ping started activating the Ancient Godfiend Body and his physical body seemed to have been gilded while a Qi and Blood True Dragon hovered behind Ye Ping.
His Qi and blood were like that of a dragon.
Ye Ping closed his eyes immediately and searched for the enemy that was hiding in the dark, using his Qi and blood.
Regardless of whether a cultivator practiced physical cultivation or not, his Qi and Blood would not be concealed. If it was a heretical cultivator, he would be even easier to detect.
"Found it!"
Ye Ping immediately detected where the other party was.
The other party was hiding in the void about a thousand meters away.
Boom.
After securing the target, Ye Ping raised his fist and threw a punch without further ado.
Roar!
There was the roar of the True Dragon. Ye Ping had now already reached the Golden Core realm and his physical body, as well as his Dharmic powers, had both reached an unbelievable realm.
The punch formed a Golden True Dragon that suppressed the void and pierced through everything. He appeared in front of the enemy with just a single thought.
"Damn!"
The man, who was dressed in a brocade robe thousands of meters away, immediately looked sullen.
He used the void method to hide himself and use a quasi-Dao artifact to launch a sneak attack on the enemy. He would succeed every single time, but even if he didn't, he wouldn't get discovered.
However, he didn't expect to have provoked a tough nut to crack.
Faced with Ye Ping's True Dragon Fist, he did not intend to resist at all as he simply turned around to flee while sacrificing the pagoda to block Ye Ping's attack.
However, he overestimated himself and underestimated Ye Ping's strength.
The True Dragon Fist landed and exuded an aura of supreme toughness.
With a single punch, the pagoda trembled violently while roaring continuously. Before it could persist for three breaths, it shattered like glass and landed on the ground, piece by piece.
"Don't kill me, I am the head disciple of the Seven Star Cave and we can cooperate. I didn't mean to offend you just now."
The other party explained to Ye Ping that he did it unintentionally. He didn't want to offend Ye Ping at all, and at the same time, he also wished to cooperate with him.
Although Ye Ping was usually kind and calm in the Qingyun Dao Sect, he would naturally be different in the King's Territory.
Ye Ping knew that there was no mercy to be shown in the King's Territory, and if one didn't kill their enemy, they would end up being the one to die. If he couldn't react or get the Immortal King ancient token, he would definitely die.
Hence, Ye Ping simply ignored his explanations without any pity.
Roar!
He threw a punch with his True Dragon Fist.
The latter turned into ashes right on the spot and he was unable to resist the terrifying light of the fist.
At the same time, an Immortal King ancient token also floated in the void.
It was the first round of the King's Territory.
If he killed someone, he would be able to get their Immortal King ancient token, and if the other party didn't have an Immortal King ancient token, there would be nothing to collect.
If one collected all twelve Immortal King ancient tokens, they would be able to leave the first round and enter the second.
After killing him, Ye Ping neither felt proud nor excited.
Instead, he was even more careful than before.
"The first round of the King's Territory is so intense, and there is brutal killing everywhere. I wonder what danger there will be in the next few rounds."
To be honest, a normal person would be overjoyed to get an Immortal King ancient token.
However, Ye Ping felt that it wasn't a good thing.
It was only the first round and it was already so intense. Wouldn't the later rounds be worse and even more cruel?
One person had three Immortal King ancient tokens, which meant that one would have to kill at least four people to gather twelve Immortal King ancient tokens and enter the second round.
75% of the people would be eliminated, and the remaining 25% would only be able to enter the second round.
Naturally, it made him feel a sense of danger.
However, since he had already arrived in the King's Territory, Ye Ping naturally knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to sharpen his battle spirit, obtain all kinds of treasures, and improve himself.
Ye Ping decided not to think about obtaining the greatest creation for now and decided to collect the 12 Immortal King ancient tokens first.
Just like that, Ye Ping left.
An entire hour later, a familiar figure appeared in front of Ye Ping, making him astonished.
"Junior Brother Huangfu."
Ye Ping said with his eyes full of surprise.
He didn't expect to run into Huangfu Tianlong in the King's Territory.
"Senior Brother Ye?"
Huangfu Tianlong looked around vigilantly on a mountain peak, and after hearing Ye Ping's voice, he couldn't help but be startled. After looking over and realizing that it was really Ye Ping, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Junior Brother Huangfu, long time no see."
Ye Ping landed from the void and smiled when he saw Huangfu Tianlong.
"Senior Brother Ye, I didn't expect you to come to the King's Territory as well."
"Yes, you're really talented and you're a true elite. Of course you'd come to the King's Territory."
Huangfu Tianlong walked up to Ye Ping and gave him a big hug.
Ye Ping answered excitedly, "It was my Eldest Senior
Sister who asked me to come. When did you enter?"
He explained and asked Huangfu Tianlong when he came.
"I arrived six hours ago. Senior Brother Ye, how many Immortal King ancient tokens have you collected? Have you gotten twelve of them?"
Huangfu Tianlong asked.
"Not many, I've just arrived. So I've only collected four."
Ye Ping laughed bitterly as he had entered less than five minutes ago. To be honest, if someone hadn't come over to provoke him with a death wish, he'd probably have only three Immortal King ancient tokens.
"Four? Senior Brother Ye, we gotta hurry up. I've already gathered six, there are already many people who have gathered twelve and entered the second round."
Huangfu Tianlong said.
He asked Ye Ping to seize the time.
"What? Some people have already gathered 12 tokens?"
Ye Ping was a little surprised as he thought, 'The King's Territory has only been opened for a short while, right? It's been less than eight hours, this is pretty quick.'
"Senior Brother Ye, you have no idea that the King's Territory has already been open for eight hours. The fights in the first two hours were the most intense. There was basically a brutal fight everywhere."
"When I came, there were also fights everywhere, but there were fewer people at the spot I appeared, but even then, I killed three of them and got three Immortal King ancient tokens."
"If nothing goes wrong, only a bunch of creepers will be left in a few hours."
Huangfu Tianlong answered Ye Ping.
"Creepers?"
Ye Ping was curious as to what he meant.
"Creepers are those who like to hide in the dark and attack secretly. These people have practiced the stealth technique for hundreds of years that will allow them to hide in the void. They can even disguise themselves as a stone."
"While you're not paying attention, they might launch a sneak attack on you, snatch your token, and then flee. If they don't succeed, they'll run even more quickly. I met a few previously and I couldn't even catch up with them."
Huangfu Tianlong informed Ye Ping, and at the same time, he sounded somewhat furious. Clearly, he had also encountered such people but he failed to catch them.
"We do have to hurry up."
Ye Ping nodded.
He didn't think of that at all, but it made sense to him.
The crowd definitely peaked at the beginning, and if they were true elites, they would naturally be able to get twelve Immortal King ancient tokens.
If there were twelve people in front of Ye Ping now, he would be able to deal with them easily.
Towards the end, the people who entered would probably hide in the dark.
To put it directly, there were two types of people who would enter the King's Territory.
One was the type who was invincible and would dominate.
The other was the type who was there only to obtain benefits. Their purpose was simple.
The first type would not hesitate and would kill as soon as they entered. If all three Immortal King ancient tokens were gone, they would just leave the King's Territory. It would be considered taking the initiative to give up one's rights.
In the first round of the King's Territory, one would be able to give up their rights, but as soon as they left, there would be no issue.
However, there was a restriction in the King's Territory this time. One had to be a genius with an ancient token or a true elite.
Hence, the strongest group of people had basically already entered the second round or encountered a stronger enemy that defeated them or made them withdraw.
There was basically no other possibility.
99% of the geniuses who entered later were creepers, just like the cultivator Ye Ping met before.
"Yeah, we have to hurry up but there are benefits to procrastinating."
Huangfu Tianlong nodded, but the words he said made Ye Ping really curious.
"There are benefits to procrastinating? What benefits?"
Ye Ping was completely clueless about the King's Territory and was naturally full of curiosity because he only had some basic information.
"Senior Brother Ye, every time the King's Territory opens, there will be three rounds, but there's a change this time, so it might be the last time it opens."
"I'm not clear how many levels there really are, but there is a strict rule that basically all those who have participated are aware of."
"The rule is that there is a supreme treasure in every round of the King's Territory."
"However, I'm not sure when it will appear either, but so far, the first treasure hasn't appeared yet."
"Senior Brother Ye, we might be fated enough to obtain the first supreme treasure. If that's the case, we're going to strike a huge fortune."
Huangfu Tianlong said.
There were three rounds to the King's Territory, each of which had a supreme treasure.
Such supreme treasures were true treasures that were second only to the remaining treasures.
"Don't think too much about it. Let's talk about it after we collect the Immortal King ancient tokens."
Ye Ping did not think much about it.
He smiled bitterly. The most important thing to do now should be to collect all the Immortal King ancient tokens.
"Yes."
Huangfu Tianlong understood his priorities.
He nodded.
Just like that.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
At this moment, all the cultivators in the world were watching this place.
However, something major also happened in the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Heavenly Heart Divine Tree had already borne fruit.
It immediately sparked a discussion in the Great Qian Dynasty.
The divine fruit bestowed countless auspiciousness.
The divine tree of the Great Qian Dynasty was a symbol, and the fruit borne by the divine tree could save a person 500 years of hard cultivation without any side effects.
If a genius ate the divine fruit, it would be akin to saving himself 500 hundred years of hard cultivation and soaring to the peak immediately.
For an ordinary cultivator, it would also be saving 500 hundred years of cultivation.
It wasn't that significant.
Generally, the divine fruit of the Great Qian Dynasty would be exclusively given to the Crown Prince to stabilize his cultivation level. At the same time, it also served as a declaration to the world that the Crown Prince was the true successor.
However, this time…
In the Great Qian Dynasty.
In the Zaixin Hall, the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty were sitting patiently and looking at Su Changyu, their faces full of expectations.
On the other hand, Su Changyu looked at the jade box on the table with an extremely calm gaze.
He was rather doubtful.
He looked at the jade box.
Just an hour ago, the two of them personally arrived with that box, claiming that it was a gift.
To be honest, Su Changyu was noble-minded and never liked accepting handouts.
However, when he thought of the previous experience when Old Xuan gave him a gift, Su Changyu was still planning to take a look at it.
He initially thought that it was a box of clothes, but to his surprise, it was a fruit.
Although the fruit was crystal clear like jade, it was indeed a treasure.
'What do I need this for?'
"Changyu, this is the divine fruit of the Great Qian Dynasty. If you consume it, you can save time on cultivating and meditating. Take this as a meeting gift."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke coldly.
He was extremely confident about the Great Qian Dynasty Divine Fruit.
The divine fruit was originally meant for the Crown Prince, and if he wasn't afraid that Su Changyu would be duped by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty wouldn't have been willing to give it to anyone else.
Of course, although he had given it to Su Changyu, he had also compensated the Crown Prince with lots of things. Hence, he had handled both sides well.
"Save me from hard cultivation and meditation?"
"We cultivators leave a footprint in every realm we reach and everyday that we cultivate."
"This is just an external object used for enhancing cultivation. I don't need it."
Su Changyu shook his head.
He declined right away.
He knew that although it would enhance cultivation levels, it would damage his potential, and if he couldn't reach Foundation Establishment after taking it, that would be embarrassing.
As soon as he heard that, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was even more pleased with Su Changyu instead of getting angry.
Regardless of where the treasure was placed, it would be priceless.
However, he didn't expect Su Changyu to have not been tempted at all.
'No wonder he's my nephew.'
"Changyu, you're right, but this fruit can save you 500 years of hard cultivation without any side effects and it wouldn't affect your cultivation level either."
The empress said, looking at Su Changyu in awe.
However, in an instant, Su Changyu was stunned.
'Huh?'
'Save me 500 years of hard cultivation?'
'No side effects!?!'
'500 years?'
'Are you lying to me?'

Chapter 240: Golden Elixir, Su Changyu Returns To Connate
Su Changyu was a little surprised.
He wondered if he had heard the wrong thing.
'Save me 500 years of hard cultivation?'
'That's a bit exaggerated, isn't it?'
To be honest, Su Changyu thought it was just a type of elixir that would increase his cultivation level by the amount of progress he would make in decades of cultivation.
If it was such an elixir, it would indeed be pointless because it would just be depleting his potential instead.
However, it was different if it was by 500 years.
Having his potential depleted just to save a few decades of cultivation was a huge loss.
However, it was different if it could save him a few hundred years of cultivation. Besides, it was still unknown if he could cultivate for a few hundred years.
Su Changyu was tempted.
If that wouldn't tempt him, nothing would.
'Su Changyu, Su Changyu, you mustn't let your habit act up again.'
While bearing with the agitation, Su Changyu repeatedly told himself not to let his bad habit act up.
"Changyu, what do you think?"
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke up again.
She asked Su Changyu that question in a bid to see if he was willing to accept the gift.
"On the path of cultivation, you have to take things one step at a time."
Su Changyu continued to speak.
"But since it's your kind intentions, I shall not turn you down, Aunt."
Su Changyu felt fortunate that his bad habit didn't act up.
Su Changyu was in a pleasant mood.
It was a divine fruit that could save him 500 years of cultivation, and if he continued to pretend to be impressive, he would be better off dead.
After hearing Su Changyu's answer, the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty were immediately overjoyed.
They were really worried that Su Changyu wouldn't accept the gift.
"Changyu, if you want to consume this fruit, you have to prepare yourself well. Your uncle has already prepared the Spirit-Gathering Array for you and opened your apertures. You can't consume it immediately, do you understand?"
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.
She was scared that Su Changyu would consume the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit immediately, which would result in less-than-ideal effects.
It had to be combined with a corresponding array formation as well as some other spirit medicine. That would allow the effects of the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit to be maximized.
"Got it."
Su Changyu didn't know much about such things. In his opinion, elixirs and pills were harmful to the body, because Wang Zhuoyu told him so.
Hence, Su Changyu didn't have a good impression of the pills especially since they could enhance one's cultivation.
Of course, if it could save him 500 years of cultivation, there wouldn't be a huge problem.
At this moment, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't help but speak up.
"Changyu, when do you plan to consume the Divine Fruit?"
She asked.
Su Changyu answered, "The earlier the better. How about today?"
He obviously wished he could consume it today and leave sooner.
If the 500 years of cultivation could allow him to break through to the Golden Core realm, things would be different.
If he really reached the Golden Core realm, he would surely become the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Of course, Su Changyu wasn't sure if he could break through to the Golden Core realm.
"Today?"
After getting Su Changyu's answer, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other.
Although they knew that Su Changyu was in a hurry, they didn't expect him to be so hasty.
However, after thinking about it, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke up, "I don't think you can eat it today but you can do the first step."
"The first step?"
"Are there many steps?"
Su Changyu was curious. 'Isn't it just eating a fruit? There are steps too?'
"Yes, a total of four steps are needed to maximize the medicinal effects of the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit."
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty answered.
"Four steps are needed?"
Su Changyu was even more curious because four steps seemed like a huge hassle for him.
'Why don't I just consume it directly to save me the trouble?'
It would be worth it for 500 years worth of cultivation. A few decades more wouldn't matter.
He really didn't want to continue wasting his time there.
It made more sense to leave early.
At this moment, Su Changyu wanted to head back to the Great Xia Dynasty earlier to look for his biological father, Taishang Xuanji, and explain everything to him so as to sever all ties.
He wanted Taishang Xuanji to stop looking for him and giving him clothes every now and then. He wanted him to just give him everything in one go.
"Changyu, don't be so impatient."
"The Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit is borne once in a few thousand years and it will allow you to increase your cultivation progress by 500 years. Most importantly, it can give you a type of talent."
"It might activate your talent. I think your aptitude in the Sword Dao is not bad. After you swallow the Divine Fruit, it might increase your aptitude."
The empress comforted Su Changyu and told him not to panic.
As soon as she said that, Su Changyu immediately became energized.
'Increase Sword Dao aptitude?'
'Hey!'
'Hey, Aunt, my Sword Dao talent is indeed very strong, but of course, if I can increase it further, I can accept it too.'
Su Changyu was indeed quite impatient but after hearing that his Sword Dao aptitude could be increased, he immediately perked up.
"Aunt, how many days would these four steps take?"
Su Changyu asked.
"It depends on your constitution."
"The first of these four steps is sculpting the body, and I've already asked someone to prepare the supreme-grade Physical-Sculpting Pill that will help you to cleanse your body and return it to its Connate state."
"If you have a good constitution, you can restore the Connate body in at most a day."
"The second step is to gather spiritual energy. I've already asked your uncle to prepare the Connate Spirit Gathering Array for you. Once your constitution returns to the Connate state again, you will be able to absorb the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
"The third step is reaching Nirvana. With Nirvana constitution, you will be able to activate your talent and even allow your Sword Dao talent to become stronger."
"The last step is to swallow the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit. Once you swallow this Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit, you can save 500 years of hard cultivation and soar to greater heights. Changyu, there are indeed quite a few steps and they're very time-consuming, but I'm doing it for your own good, don't get impatient."
The empress was afraid that Su Changyu would feel annoyed and thus was quite earnest in her explanation.
If these words were to get out, all cultivators in the Great Qian Dynasty would probably stay silent and even Fang Li would cry and weep after seeing it.
Although the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty was gentle and mild-mannered, the problem wasn't that simple. If she gave the divine fruit of the Great Qian Dynasty to someone else, it would make others furious.
Indeed, comparison was upsetting.
"I understand, thank you very much, Aunt."
Su Changyu nodded and immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but speak again.
"Let's start tomorrow then, Aunt and Uncle."
"It's not that I'm not willing to stay in the Great Qian Dynasty, but if I don't personally go over and finish this matter, I'll have regrets in my heart. I won't be able to cultivate smoothly then."
Su Changyu found a random excuse, but the core reason was that he wanted to hurry up and be done with these things so that he could return and slack off in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
He really didn't want to run about as he felt that it would be more comfortable to stay in the sect where he didn't have to worry about his food and shelter. He could also occasionally go down the mountain to buy some things and boast to his Junior Brothers in the sect.
Such days were really enjoyable.
If he went out, he would meet lots of people, and if he was lucky, the person would benefit him. But if he wasn't, he might get injured and that wouldn't be worth it at all.
"I get it, I understand. This is indeed an urgent matter."
"Changyu, I'll have them get prepared today and we can start at noon tomorrow."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty nodded. Since his nephew was about to sever ties with the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he would definitely be overjoyed and support it.
If he wasn't worried that Su Changyu would be compelled by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty after he went to the Great Xia Dynasty, he would have let him go there immediately.
He would thrash things out with the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately.
If the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty dared to hinder him in any way, he would fall out with him and at most go to war. He wasn't afraid of anything at all.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Su Changyu thanked the emperor.
The latter didn't say anything and immediately stood up to walk towards the main hall and ask someone to make arrangements for that matter.
Time passed bit by bit.
Just like that, it was late at night.
The Great Qian Dynasty was still brightly lit and the array formation masters had rushed over to set up the Connate Spirit Gathering Array.
It was all for the sake of Su Changyu.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had put in a lot of effort to issue orders and transfer 3,000 array formation masters from various states back to the Great Qian Dynasty Palace.
At this moment, in the Heavenly Heart Hall.
The 3,000 array formation masters were gathered there.
Everyone was carefully setting up the formations. One thousand people were in charge of engraving array patterns, a thousand were in charge of setting up array formations, and a thousand were in charge of the details.
"Everyone, listen up. His Majesty has issued orders for us to set up the array formations within six hours and then set up 3,000 Qi Nurturing Arrays, 3,000 Heart-Calming Arrays, 3,000 Small Spiritual Energy Gathering Arrays, 3,000 Qi and Blood Arrays, not a single one less. If you do well, His Majesty will reward you, but if anyone makes a mistake or delays the time, don't blame the Great Qian Dynasty for being cold and harsh."
The bright and clear voice sounded. It was the inspection commander who spoke loudly and told them to set up the array formations.
At the same time, his behavior naturally attracted the attention of many princes and princesses.
They were somewhat curious. After all, the transfer of 3,000 array formation masters to set up the array formation was indeed very exaggerated.
"The consumption of the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit requires four steps, but there is no need to invite so many array formation masters."
"The Crown Prince is really favored, huh? These array formation masters are all elites who are on par with Essence soul realm cultivators. Yet, all of them have been transferred here. The Crown Prince must be favored in Father's heart."
"Ah, being born earlier is better."
Everyone discussed and their voices naturally attracted the attention of everyone.
The princes and princesses were all very envious.
At the same time,
In the Great Qian Dynasty's Elixir Hall.
It was extremely ostentatious and luxurious. The hall was spacious and about several hundreds of meters tall with a violet-gold Golden Core cauldron hovering in the middle.
It was the pill furnace of the Great Qian Dynasty, which was also an immortal artifact that they were very proud of.
It was the very furnace that allowed the Great Qian Dynasty to prosper because it could allow semi non-poisonous pills to be produced in bulk, which only possessed 30% of the toxicity of ordinary pills.
However, a figure appeared at this moment.
It was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty who walked over. He pushed open the door of the great hall and slowly walked into it.
He then waved his hand, and in an instant, the lid of the furnace slowly rose into the air while a strange elixir that was emitting various rays of light appeared in his hand.
It was the Connate Body Sculpting pill that had 3,333 extremely precious medicinal herbs as the main materials. It also required 100,000 different precious medicinal herbs as the supportive herbs. It required a hundred years of refinement.
Once one swallowed the pill, they would be able to return to the Connate state.
For countless cultivators, returning to the Connate state was a good thing.
Looking at the elixir in his hand, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty waved his hand, and a terrifying spiritual energy once again emerged in the pill furnace.
A golden elixir then appeared in the sky.
It was surrounded by nine pills of different colors.
Seeing this scene, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty could not help but smile.
The Connate Body Sculpting Elixir would be produced once every 100 years, and basically, they were reserved for the Crown Prince or the royals.
However, this one was different because it was made with nearly ten times more medicinal herbs and an unknown number of heavenly treasures, as compared to ordinary ones.
It was a true elixir that required 1,888 years to refine. It could not only improve one's constitution, it could also allow one to return to the Connate state and even make up for the flaws, forming an extraordinary constitution.
It was an ancestral rule that the elixir could only be used by the royals of the Great Qian Dynasty and specifically those who were talented.
Hence, for so many years, the elixir had been nurtured in the pill furnace where it absorbed the medicinal effects of other pills to allow it to become more radiant and incredible.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was now planning to take out this elixir and give it to Su Changyu.
However, at this moment, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty appeared in the palace.
She looked at the elixir with some surprise in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to give this elixir to Changyu?"
The empress asked with some surprise.
The reason being, she was even clearer about the importance of this elixir.
Generally speaking, even the Crown Prince was not qualified to consume the elixir because it required more than 1,800 years to refine before being nurtured in the furnace for more than 3,000 years, which meant that this elixir was almost 5,000 years old.
They could only take it out of the furnace when a real talented person was born.
However, she didn't expect that the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty would actually take out the elixir and give it to Su Changyu.
"Yes, after observing Changyu, I feel that he has some flaws which I think should be a result of someone's deliberate doing when he got lost back then. Hence, his cultivation level is ordinary, but he's a genius. How can he be only at the Qi Refinement realm?"
"I've thought about it. Even the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit cannot make up for the injuries Changyu suffered."
"The only solution now is to use this elixir."
"Changyu is my nephew and giving it to him does not violate the ancestral rule. You won't stop me, right?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.
The latter shook her head.
"Your Majesty, why would I dare to stop you? I'm more than glad about this, but if we give this elixir to Changyu, I'm worried that someone might want to scheme against him."
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty explained.
However, in the next moment, the voice of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty filled the air.
"Who would dare to do this!?!"
"Who would dare!?!"

Chapter 241: Supreme Treasure of the King's Territory, I Will Not Tolerate Sins
The people in the Great Qian Dynasty Imperial Palace were in an uproar at this moment.
Everyone was preparing for the Spirit Gathering Array.
At this moment, a major event also happened in the King's Territory.
The first round of King's Territory.
The vast and boundless territory seemed to be full of vitality.
A beam of divine light rose up from the top of the mountain.
The appearance of this beam of divine light startled all the cultivators in the entire King's Territory.
They turned to look at the peak of the mountain.
"What happened?"
"What's going on here?"
"How could there be such a spectacle?"
"Has the supreme treasure appeared?"
"Yes, yes, it's definitely the birth of a supreme treasure."
The cultivators of the first level of the King's Territory were extremely surprised.
Someone soon guessed that this might be the birth of the supreme treasure.
In an instant, countless figures rushed to the immortal mountain, and most cultivators knew that they were not fit enough for the final treasure of the King's Territory.
Hence, a portion of geniuses didn't choose to enter the second round, but it wasn't because they were too weak to do so.
They were waiting for the supreme treasure of the first round.
If they could obtain the supreme treasure of the first round of the King's Territory, it would be extremely good for them.
Hence, as the beam of divine light rushed up to the sky, countless cultivators rushed there immediately.
On the mountain peak.
The place where the divine light gathered was a lair.
There was a white divine egg in the lair and all the divine energy was leaking from it.
The divine egg was surrounded by wisps of divine light while the eggshell was dotted and there was dense power of Qi and blood.
The terrifying power of Qi and blood made them feel like it was a True Dragon egg.
At this moment, there were already cultivators who rushed over immediately.
They immediately saw the divine egg, and in an instant, their breathing became rushed.
"This is the True Dragon egg."
"This is such a strong power of Qi and blood. It must be the egg of a True Dragon."
"Guys, look, there's something in the egg."
"Cut the crap, of course there's something in that egg. Otherwise, why would it be called an egg?"
"No, you guys look carefully, there seems to be a sound coming out of this immortal egg."
Countless cultivators gathered there. They were observing the egg and revealing their bodies without bothering to hide anymore.
There was no point in continuing to hide.
As the crowd discussed, everyone began to listen carefully.
The faint sounds of roaring that came from the immortal egg seemed to resemble that of the ancient beasts.
"If it's not a dragon egg, it must be a phoenix egg. I didn't expect there to be such a thing as phoenixes or dragons."
"This thing is fated with me."
"I've been waiting here for a long time and I didn't expect that the chance of creation that belongs to me has really appeared. Infinite Heavenly Venerable."
"Amitabha, I've been waiting here for hundreds of years and I never expected to chance upon my creation here. When there is a will, there is a way."
"Damn it, everyone, can you have some shame? And Venerable, you're at least a disciple of a Buddhist sect, how can you be so greedy?"
Everyone was debating while staring at the immortal egg, green with envy.
They wished that they could intervene immediately to snatch the immortal egg away.
However, they knew in their hearts that whoever dared to be the first to make a move would definitely die.
At the same time…
Hundreds of kilometers away.
Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong arrived quickly.
The two had spent an entire day looking for other enemies, only to realize that they still couldn't find any after searching for a long time. Even if they took the initiative to show their weakness, no one came out to launch a sneak attack.
Now that they saw the ray of divine light, they rushed over immediately.
"Senior Brother Ye, we have to hurry over or the supreme treasure is going to be snatched away."
Huangfu Tianlong was extremely fast in the void, and at the same time, he told Ye Ping to hurry up.
They had been searching for the enemies for a day but to no avail.
Now that the supreme treasure had appeared, they were naturally anxious.
"Alright."
Ye Ping didn't say much. After nodding, he cast the Carefree Sword Kinesis Flight technique and his speed increased rapidly by several times. He seemed to have turned into a gust of wind as he vanished right on the spot.
The dumbfounded Huangfu Tianlong was left behind.
In the beginning, he felt that Ye Ping wasn't fast enough, but after Ye Ping sped up, Huangfu Tianlong finally realized that he was the slow one and that Ye Ping had been slowing down for him.
"Senior Brother Ye, wait for me."
Huangfu Tianlong said from behind.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the bottom of this mountain peak.
However, before they could go over and join in the crowd, all the cultivators surged over from all directions.
"Who snatched my creation?"
"Who dares to steal my opportunity?"
"Who dared to steal my dragon egg?"
The voices sounded.
Everyone disappeared in the sky and scattered in all directions. The treasure had clearly been stolen but they still didn't know who the thief was.
Whoosh!
A beam of blue light appeared and a cultivator sacrificed a copper mirror by using it to reflect blue immortal light that immediately locked onto the Southwest direction.
Soon, a figure appeared.
He was holding an immortal egg in his hand and he couldn't help but frown when the immortal light shone on him.
At this moment, all the cultivators looked in the Southwest direction as they came to a sudden realization.
With all kinds of Dharma artifacts in hand, they fought for the object.
The army of cultivators, which looked like locusts, covered the sky.
Huangfu Tianlong watched and couldn't help but speak up.
"I told you that this group of people were hiding there, but I didn't expect all of them to be present here. Only the supreme treasure can lure them out."
"Senior Brother Ye, let's get to work."
Huangfu Tianlong stretched his muscles and decided to put aside the matter of the supreme treasure. Anyway, it wasn't like the treasure would run off on its own.
However, the Twelve Immortal Kings ancient tokens were different.
They had to get those things.
"Alright."
Ye Ping answered indifferently before taking the initiative to attack.
In an instant, the Qi and Blood True Dragon appeared while Huangfu Tianlong killed them like heavenly gods.
Boom!
In just an instant, Ye Ping found his target and struck using the Ancient True Dragon fist technique, leaving the target with no means of retaliation as he simply turned into ashes, leaving behind only an Immortal King ancient token.
Huangfu Tianlong was extremely domineering too as he attacked and killed any enemy he found.
Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong were definitely the elites among elites. Although those who could enter the King's Territory were geniuses too, they were not considered elites, let alone the elite of elites.
"Senior, there's a supreme treasure right before you and yet you're still thinking about the Immortal King's ancient token? Are you guys out of your mind?"
"Yeah, Fellow Daoist, what are you doing this for?"
"Fellow Daoists, why are you guys so scheming? We're fighting for treasure and you guys are launching sneak attacks?"
"Young man, you are not ethical."
Many people spoke up as they never expected there to still be people killing each other over the Immortal King ancient token.
The supreme treasure of the first round of the King's Territory had appeared, so everyone worked together to get it.
They felt that there was no need to kill each other. If foreign cultivators saw them, they might think that they were in disunity.
Unfortunately, although they were furious, they turned into ashes under Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong's punches, leaving behind only the Immortal King's ancient tokens.
However, the majority of the cultivators were still overwhelmed by interests as they stared at the immortal egg and vied hard for it with all their might.
There was also a small number of cultivators who sensed that this was a good opportunity to make a move, so they moved straight to the other cultivators in a bid to gather all twelve Immortal King ancient tokens.
The various battles began.
However, once the cultivators gathered, Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong killed all of them and obtained lots of Immortal King ancient tokens.
Ye Ping did particularly well. Previously, he had fewer tokens than Huangfu Tianlong, but in less than five minutes, Ye Ping had already gathered twelve Immortal King ancient tokens.
After obtaining enough Immortal King ancient tokens, Ye Ping couldn't help but look at Huangfu Tianlong.
"How many more are you short of?"
Ye Ping asked.
"Senior Brother Ye, I'm short of two."
Huangfu Tianlong gave his answer.
Boom!
Boom!
In just an instant, Ye Ping turned them into ashes, leaving behind two Immortal King ancient tokens.
"Junior Brother Huangfu, let's go after the supreme treasure."
Ye Ping spoke up, knowing how important the supreme treasure was.
The Immortal King ancient tokens were only meant for them to enter the second round, the supreme treasure was more important.
"Alright."
After receiving the two Immortal King ancient tokens from Ye Ping, Huangfu Tianlong didn't ponder any longer because he knew that the most important thing right now was the supreme treasure.
The two of them turned into rainbow light and disappeared in the same place.
Together, they went after the person who stole the treasure.
In the distance, almost tens of thousands of cultivators were charging towards them with their flying swords, pagodas, and ancient bells.
The person who stole the treasure had a black ancient pagoda on his head and he blocked all attacks while flying towards the King's Territory. His idea was simple and that was to reach the border so as to leave the King's Territory.
Ye Ping was extremely quick. He had already reached the person who stole the treasure and punched him.
However, the pagoda was extremely defensive as it was a supreme treasure that could block Ye Ping's attack.
"This pagoda is really strong."
Ye Ping was shocked.
The pagoda felt really terrifying to him.
His attacks didn't touch the pagoda at all.
"This is the Black Hell Ancient Pagoda, Senior Brother Ye. It's highly defensive and it should be from the Great Heavenly Purgatory."
Huangfu Tianlong seemed to know where this pagoda came from and hence told Ye Ping where it was from.
"Is there any way to break it?"
Ye Ping could not help but ask about it.
"It's difficult, Senior brother Ye, this pagoda is a supreme Dao artifact. It's hard to attack it, but logically speaking, it can't be brought in."
Huangfu Tianlong said curiously.
In the King's Territory, not only were there restrictions on cultivators, there were also restrictions on Dharma treasures. The cultivators were not allowed to bring Dao artifacts into the venue. They could at most bring treasures.
Hence, he was confused.
As soon as he said that, everyone couldn't help but speak up.
"This is not that supreme Dao artifact but an artifact. It does have some effects but they won't last long."
Someone revealed the fundamental reason.
In the next moment, the man with the pagoda on his head suddenly stopped in the void.
Everyone froze in shock.
They had no idea what happened.
However, they soon discovered that something had happened.
The immortal egg shattered.
The various beams of divine light couldn't be concealed at all.
The sounds of a beast roaring suddenly filled the air.
"The True Dragon is about to be born!"
"The True Dragon is about to be born!"
"The True Dragon is about to be born!"
Everyone spoke up because it was indeed a dragon's roar.
However, at the next moment, a dull and low voice sounded.
"I will not tolerate sins!"

Chapter 242: The Dragon Horse Is Chen Yuan?
"I will not tolerate sins!"
The voice attracted the attention of the crowd.
The cultivator with the pagoda on his head was stunned.
He looked at the immortal egg in his hand which emitted a blazing ray of light and was extremely hot to touch.
Most importantly, the immortal egg could speak.
That was indeed outrageous.
Roar!
The dragon roar sounded in the next moment, and the terrifying power of Qi and blood seemed to flow in the void, drowning out everything.
"It's the True Dragon, it's the True Dragon."
"This must be a dragon egg."
"It really is a dragon egg, I never thought that I'd be able to obtain the dragon egg one day."
"You'll be able to obtain it? Are you asking to be scolded?"
"Are you dreaming?"
The crowd of cultivators felt stunned because it was rather exaggerated and outrageous. They didn't expect the immortal egg to be a dragon egg.
True Dragon.
It was a divine beast that had become extinct in the world of immortals.
If one could obtain it, they would naturally stand out from the crowd.
They were all shocked and surprised. Of course, the greed in their eyes was also revealed.
The only thing that made them curious was why the dragon egg could speak. Besides, it was speaking incoherently too.
However, while everyone was curious and puzzled, Ye Ping froze on the spot.
He felt that he seemed to have heard those words somewhere.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The sounds of the dragon eggs cracking filled the air and everyone looked over.
The dragon egg shattered and soon, a dragon shadow appeared. It looked extremely realistic as various rays of golden light were emitted.
Everyone couldn't help but be amazed.
However, soon, as a golden ray of light gradually began to dissipate, a figure appeared in front of everyone.
"It's not a dragon!"
"This is not a dragon shadow?"
"What is this thing?"
Everyone was surprised because they realized that it was not a True Dragon.
"It's a horse! It's a horse!"
"It's a horse!"
"How is that possible? Isn't it a True Dragon?"
The group of cultivators were stunned.
The immortal egg shattered and emitted countless rays of divine light. In the end, the shadow of a horse appeared in front of everyone.
In particular, the horse also gave off a strange sound.
In the void, Ye Ping was a little surprised. He was stunned and stood rooted to the ground after seeing the shadow.
He somehow thought of a familiar person.
Chen Yuan.
Yes, Chen Yuan.
The resentful spirit that he met in the Qingzhou Ancient City in the beginning.
Ye Ping felt a great sense of familiarity when he heard that.
"Chen Yuan!"
Ye Ping yelled out loud.
"Who's calling me?"
A voice sounded.
It came from within the golden light.
At this moment, Ye Ping was sure that it was Chen Yuan.
However, at this moment, the golden light gradually dissipated.
A pure white horse appeared in front of the crowd but it seemed rather peculiar.
It was as white as jade and its hooves were covered in divine flames as it paced around in the void. Its Qi and blood were intense and even its whiskers were like that of dragons.
"It's the Longma (Dragon Horse), a divine beast that's a combination of a True Dragon and a Heavenly Horse. It's a divine beast of ancient times."
"It's a Longma?"
"Although it's not a True Dragon, it's not that far off… I never thought that my chance of creation would be a Longma."
"It's no wonder it has such a terrifying power of Qi and blood. I didn't expect it to be a Longma."
"Why is this Longma so peculiar? It seems to have spiritual wit."
Everyone exclaimed in shock. After the golden rays of light vanished and they saw that it was a Longma, they were all astonished.
"Senior Brother Ye, you know this horse?"
Huangfu Tianlong was the most surprised because he had been staying by Ye Ping's side and hence, he managed to witness the Longma responding to Ye Ping's call close-up.
How could he not be shocked?
"I might know it!"
Ye Ping was not entirely certain yet and merely continued yelling.
"Chen Yuan, do you still remember me?"
Ye Ping pushed the crowd away with his hands and the shadow of a Qi and Blood True Dragon appeared. It hovered above Ye Ping's head, shocking the cultivators.
The Longma that emerged from the shell immediately looked at Ye Ping.
However, in an instant, the Longma's gaze was full of shock.
It was as if it had seen a ghost.
"Exalted Immortal?"
"Exalted Immortal Ye?"
The Longma was stunned as it widened its eyes and looked at Ye Ping in disbelief.
"Why do you still have memories of your past life?"
Ye Ping was astonished too. Chen Yuan had reincarnated back then.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have any memories of his previous life.
Even if he was reincarnated as a Longma, Chen Yuan couldn't possibly remember the memories of his previous life.
That was impossible.
"I don't know, Exalted Immortal!"
"Hey, how did I become a horse?"
"What's going on, Exalted Immortal?"
"And, why are you guys looking at me like that? What are you guys trying to do?"
Chen Yuan was dumbstruck.
He didn't know what had happened either.
He only remembered that he gradually lost consciousness after entering a circle of white light back then and after some time, he opened his eyes again, only to realize that he had been trapped.
After trying his best to break free, he saw that scene before him.
"You've been reincarnated into a Longma!"
Ye Ping said without thinking.
However, before Ye Ping could say anything, the cultivator who had the pagoda on his head frowned and interrupted.
"Chen Yuan, don't be fooled by him, you are my son and I'm your father. They're here to kill you. Quick, leave with me."
The cultivator with the pagoda on his head didn't know what happened either.
He only felt that something was amiss with the situation so he hurriedly spoke up.
Although he didn't know how Ye Ping knew that Longma, his intuition was telling him that Ye Ping was deceiving it.
After all, the Longma had just been born and its brain was still full of confusion.
He felt that Ye Ping had beat the others to speaking to it.
He also felt that Ye Ping pretended to know the Longma but was actually just trying to fool it.
Hence, he called out too and pretended to know the Longma.
Anyway, the Longma had just been hatched and it didn't matter if it knew him or not.
It was his future mount.
However, as soon as the person with the pagoda on his head said that, the Longma's eyes widened in shock and it kicked him hard with a menacing gaze.
"Screw you, I'm your father!"
Chen Yuan was very hot-tempered and he managed to send the cultivator with the pagoda on his head flying several hundred meters away.
The next moment, Chen Yuan flew directly to Ye Ping.
"Exalted Immortal, I remember now. I've already reincarnated."
"We're really fated with each other. In my last life, I said I'd be your slave but I didn't expect to meet you again in this life."
"Exalted Immortal, I'll be your mount!"
Chen Yuan moved towards Ye Ping deferentially. He had already regained his memories and immediately went over to curry favor with Ye Ping after recalling who he was.
He took the initiative to ask Ye Ping to ride him.
However…
If it was just an ordinary Longma, Ye Ping would have ridden it.
Knowing that the other party was originally a person, Ye Ping was somehow too embarrassed to do it.
"Everyone, our divine beast has been bewitched by this person. Let's attack and kill him."
"Yes, don't let this kid get away with it."
However, at this moment, the cultivators were a little displeased.
Although they didn't know the process of everything that happened, they couldn't let Ye Ping take it away.
That was the divine beast of ancient times.
Although it was not a True Dragon, it was still a divine beast.
Once it grew up, it would definitely be an invincible existence.
Hence, they all targeted Ye Ping.
"Senior Brother Ye, are you going to fight them?"
In an instant, Huangfu Tianlong asked Ye Ping if he wanted to fight them.
However, Ye Ping did not answer and took out twelve Immortal King ancient tokens.
He crushed them right on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Huangfu Tianlong did the same without saying anything.
In an instant, the void collapsed and soon, they vanished on the spot.
The Longma caught up too.
Just like that, many cultivators were a little confused.
They would have never expected Ye Ping to pull such a move.
At the same time, in the Great Qian dynasty.
Finally, with the efforts of the 3,000 array formation masters, the Spirit Gathering Array had been set up.

Chapter 243: Immortal Ascension Hall, Everything Is Prepared, Su Changyu Metamorphoses
In the Great Qian dynasty.
After several days of preparation, the 3,000 array formation masters had already prepared the super Spirit Gathering Array.
At this moment…
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was extremely satisfied.
The array formation that the 3,000 array formation masters had jointly set up was indeed very satisfiable.
He just had to wait for Su Changyu to come over.
"Pass on my orders for the Dragon Guards to guard around the Immortal Ascension Hall. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to step into the Immortal Ascension Hall these days, no matter who they are."
"Those who violate the law will be arrested and sent to the Heavenly Prison."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at the Spirit Gathering Array in the Immortal Ascension Hall and instructed them to guard the surroundings.
He wanted to ensure that Su Changyu was safe.
"Yes!"
Someone answered the emperor.
In the next moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty turned around and left to go look for Su Changyu in a bid to bring him there personally.
That would seem more sincere.
After all, it was now a contest of who doted on Su Changyu more.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't lose out.
He walked towards the Zhaixin Hall.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was still muttering incessantly, "Emperor Xia, you expect my nephew to let go of the hatred just by giving him some clothes?"
"You've got a great plan, huh?"
"As long as my nephew severs ties with you, I'll make him a prince immediately and let him marry two princesses. He'll stay in the Great Qian Dynasty and I shall see how furious you'll get!"
"Hmph!"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty's thoughts were very simple.
He just wanted to provoke the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. Over the years, he had been bearing a strong grudge and hatred towards the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty ever since he learned of his sister's death.
Back then, he had once said before that he would never let his younger sister marry someone like the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, his sister did not heed his advice and there was nothing else he could do.
Forget it if it had happened once. After all, the heavenly will was hard to defy.
However, he would never let it happen again.
He would never let the same thing happen for the second time, nor did he want it to happen again.
Even the empress thought the same.
Hence, out of worry that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would give Su Changyu more benefits, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty would rather give the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit that was originally meant for the Crown Prince to Su Changyu.
He gave the fruit to Su Changyu and set up the Spirit Gathering Array at all costs, just to let Su Changyu understand one thing.
Without the Great Xia Dynasty, there was still the Great Qian Dynasty.
Just like that, about eighteen minutes passed.
In the Zaixin Hall, Su Changyu was meditating and cultivating quietly.
For some reason, he discovered yesterday that there seemed to be some signs of breakthrough of the bottleneck that he had been stuck in for a long time.
That was a good thing.
Su Changyu vaguely remembered that he was stuck at the seventh level of Qi Refinement for more than half a year.
If he broke through, he would reach the eighth level of Qi Refinement.
That meant that he would be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in this lifetime.
Although he now had a Divine Fruit that would allow him to save 500 years of hard cultivation, Su Changyu knew who was good to him and who wasn't.
In any case, the cultivation level that he had increased could not be snatched by others.
Besides, the Divine Fruit and Spirit Pills would definitely come with side effects.
That was also the reason that Su Changyu was overjoyed.
At this moment, a familiar figure walked into the Zhaixin Hall.
"Changyu, come here. I've already prepared the Spirit Gathering Array for you."
The emperor entered with a smile and looked extremely kind.
He was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty who had never been so nice to others before. Even when interacting with the princes and princesses, he would often keep a sullen expression.
However, when facing Su Changyu, he was all smiles and even seemed to be trying to please him.
"Are you ready?"
Su Changyu was a little surprised. After all, he was told yesterday that the Spirit Gathering Array would take one to three days to set up but it was set up overnight.
He was indeed a little surprised.
"Changyu, I've instructed 3,000 array formation masters to carve 3,000 Spirit Gathering Arrays, 3,000 Qi Nurturing Arrays, and 3,000 Physical Integration Arrays. After you consume the divine fruit, there will be divine effects."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty nodded and then pulled Su Changyu to the Immortal Ascension Hall.
Su Changyu didn't decline. His eyes were full of curiosity after hearing those words.
It was only normal that he'd be curious about so many array formations.
Just like that, about eight minutes passed.
Su Changyu arrived at the Immortal Ascension Hall.
The entire Immortal Ascension Hall covered an area of more than 400 acres of land and was surrounded by some spiritual trees. The gilded hall was in the center and it had a height of several hundred meters, shining brightly under the light.
There were many Dragon Guards surrounding the Immortal Ascension Hall, all of whom were expressionless. If there was any movement, they wouldn't hesitate to kill the enemy.
Outside the Immortal Ascension Hall, Chu Rouyun had been waiting there for a long time.
"Changyu."
When she saw Su Changyu, Chu Rouyun walked over slowly, dressed in a wind robe that made her look noble and dignified. The tassel on her head was also swaying slowly.
"Greetings, Aunt."
Su Changyu seemed rather polite, but his expression was still calm and indifferent.
"Changyu, everything has been prepared for you in the Immortal Ascension Hall. I got someone to deliver some Heavenly Mountain Divine Water. When you enter the hall later, you will see a pool. Bathe in it and then wait for two hours."
"Then walk into the center of the hall. The Spirit Gathering Array is in the middle and you can activate it just by injecting some Dharmic powers."
"After the array is activated, consume the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit and you will be able to exert all the medicinal effects of the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit."
The empress explained to Su Changyu what he had to do next.
Su Changyu memorized all her instructions.
However, even though he remembered them, Su Changyu still felt that it was a bit troublesome.
If not for the 500 years of hard cultivation that he could save, Su Changyu really did not want to rely on this method to improve his cultivation level.
"Changyu, remember, no matter what happens, you should not give up. The process might be difficult, but if you can save 500 years of hard cultivation, it might allow you to break through to the Golden Core realm right away."
The empress said seriously in hopes that Su Changyu wouldn't give up halfway.
"Got it."
Su Changyu nodded but he was still rather anxious.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty continued to speak.
"Changyu, one more thing, after you swallow the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit, a golden elixir will appear in the Spirit Gathering Array. It is very important to you, swallow the golden elixir only after the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit has taken effect."
The emperor instructed him about the golden elixir.
"Yes."
Su Changyu nodded and confirmed it.
"Alright. In that case, go ahead, Changyu."
The emperor nodded after having said everything there was to say.
Su Changyu then walked towards the hall without further ado.
He then entered the Immortal Ascension Hall.
The two of them left and guarded outside the Immortal Ascension Hall.
At this moment, the empress spoke up.
"Your Majesty, Changyu shouldn't be in danger, right?"
She asked.
The emperor shook his head.
"Don't worry, with the golden elixir, nothing will go wrong. I'm curious about what Changyu will metamorphose into after taking the golden elixir."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was full of curiosity.

Chapter 244: Su Changyu Awakens, The Son Of Destiny
In the Immortal Ascension Hall.
Su Changyu looked at the ostentatious palace and couldn't help but be emotional.
He might like pretending to be an impressive expert who had experienced all sorts of encounters.
However, to put it bluntly, those who came from unknown places were bound to experience all sorts of hardships.
This was one of the most important halls of the Great Qian Dynasty Palace, the Immortal Ascension Hall.
It was naturally extraordinary.
Although he was shocked, Su Changyu maintained a calm expression as he entered the Immortal Ascension Hall.
Soon, he saw a pool.
It was an Immortal Pool that exuded a rich and intense aura.
Each drop of the Heavenly Mountain Divine Water was extremely valuable.
It was potable and could be used with medicine too.
However, taking a bath in it was almost unprecedented.
It could be said that apart from the Great Qian Dynasty, the other four dynasties probably wouldn't be able to afford to do such things.
Su Changyu took off his robe.
However, after a pause, he glanced around to make sure that no one was there before walking into the Immortal Pool.
When Su Changyu stepped into the Immortal Pool, he felt an indescribable warmth.
It was as if all the pores of his body were completely opened at this moment.
All in all, it felt extremely pleasant.
"Awesome!"
Soaking in the Immortal Pool, Su Changyu didn't forget his agenda.
He immediately started cultivating.
In an instant, spiritual energy entered his body,
The spiritual energy was like a flood that was crashing against Su Changyu's body from the inside without restraint.
He felt uncomfortable but he could bear with it.
Boom!
Su Changyu's cultivation level was immediately increased and it broke through to the eighth level of the Qi Refinement realm.
'Very good, great.'
'I've only soaked in it for a while and yet, I broke through to the eighth level of the Qi Refinement realm.'
'Well, I'm a genius.'
'I, Su Changyu, am indeed a genius.'
Su Changyu was a little agitated.
He didn't think it was the Immortal Pool that had brought about the benefits, but rather, he felt that he was very talented.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, six hours passed.
Within six hours, outside the Great Qian Dynasty.
The emperor and empress looked inside the hall with some concern.
"Your Majesty, six hours have passed so I reckon that Changyu should have already absorbed the divine water in the Immortal Pool, right?"
The empress asked.
"Yes."
The emperor nodded.
"I wonder if Changyu has broken through to the Golden Core realm after absorbing so much divine water."
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.
"There should be no problem either."
"A single drop of the Heavenly Mountain Divine Water can allow an ordinary cultivator to break through a level of a realm."
"There is an entire pool of Heavenly Mountain Divine Water. It should be enough for him to break through to the Golden Core realm, but considering Changyu's physical shortcomings, probably the early-stage Golden Core realm."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty answered.
The Heavenly Mountain Divine Water was used for cultivating one's physical body and rapid repair of one's physical effects to return to the Connate state.
Those were the effects of the Heavenly Mountain Divine Water.
It was not purely an increase in cultivation level.
At this moment, in the Immortal Ascension Hall.
It was exactly like they had guessed.
The water in the Immortal Pool had already completely dried up.
The large amount of divine water allowed Su Changyu to reach the perfected Qi Refinement realm.
Yes, the perfected Qi Refinement realm.
Regarding this result…
At this moment, Su Changyu felt extremely satisfied.
He could now obtain full Dharmic powers, which was really an awesome feeling.
For some reason, he somehow wanted to let out a long whistle to express his joy.
He couldn't hide his joy at all.
"I'm happy."
He was overjoyed.
He managed to reach the perfected Qi Refinement realm after taking a shower.
If he soaked in it for longer, he would also reach the Foundation Establishment realm.
The Foundation Establishment realm.
It was simply a dream for Su Changyu.
Su Changyu didn't have any bold ideas.
He would be satisfied if he could reach Foundation Establishment.
Now that this dream was so close to him, how could he not be happy?
How could he not be overjoyed?
After letting out a long breath, Su Changyu stood up, wiped his body, and then changed into a fresh set of clothes.
Regardless of the craftsmanship or the design, they were all of superior quality as it was created by the Great Qian Dynasty.
After putting on the robe, Su Changyu slowly walked to the center of the main hall.
At this moment, Su Changyu's eyes were full of confidence.
He couldn't describe what he was feeling. His confidence truly came from within.
Half-step Foundation Establishment realm.
It was so terrifying.
It was a huge profit.
Su Changyu arrived in the hall, full of joy.
Immediately afterwards, he sat down cross-legged and adjusted his state of mind before talking to himself.
'Su Changyu, don't get too proud or complacent. The world is full of experts. You might become a Foundation Establishment realm powerhouse soon, but you have to know that dignified figures in Qingzhou are only ordinary cultivators in other places."
"Remember, don't be conceited."
Su Changyu adjusted his state of mind.
Although he was doing so, he couldn't hide the joy in him.
He didn't seem modest at all, but on the surface, he seemed extremely composed and transcendent.
About eighteen minutes passed.
Su Changyu stabilized his mind, waved his hand, and then enhanced the array formation with his spiritual energy.
As the spiritual energy entered the array formation, a loud sound was emitted.
The most brilliant ray of light emerged from the hall.
Several array formations appeared in the hall like a sun.
3,000 Spirit Gathering Arrays.
3,000 Qi Nurturing Arrays.
3,000 Physical Integration Arrays.
They were all activated at the same time.
If the previous spiritual energy was compared to a ferocious beast, the spiritual energy now was gushing into Su Changyu's body like a vast ocean.
Under the enhancement of the terrifying spiritual energy, Su Changyu's spirit veins were calm and unaffected.
"Eat the fruit."
At the critical moment, Su Changyu did not forget what he had to do.
He immediately took out the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit.
He then swallowed it.
The divine fruit instantly melted in his mouth and flowed in his body.
Soon after he consumed the divine fruit, a jade box appeared in front of him.
There was a golden elixir in the jade box.
Su Changyu picked up the golden pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
The Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit.
The Great Qian Dynasty's golden pill.
3,000 Spirit Gathering Arrays.
Under the terrifying enhancement, Su Changyu's physical body turned into a golden sun at this time.
At this moment, Su Changyu slipped into unconsciousness.
He arrived in a dark space.
In the void, there was a round piece of jade.
The round piece flawless jade began to shatter from the middle.
However, as the rays of golden light spread all over the jade, the cracks were gradually repaired.
In the process of sealing, three words appeared in Su Changyu's mind.
'Son of Destiny.'
Su Changyu was confused.
He could not understand what it meant.
However, as the jade kept getting sealed…
In the end, it became a complete piece again.
At this moment, a ray of divine light that was a thousand feet long rose from the Immortal Ascension Hall into the sky.
Soon, the light expanded continuously.
3,000 feet!
5,000 feet!
10,000 feet!
The divine light rushed to the sky in just less than an hour.
All the cultivators in the Great Qian Dynasty sensed the terrifying divine light.
However, it didn't end.

Chapter 245: It's Like Seeing An Immortal
The divine light shot up to the sky.
As it pierced through the sky, all kinds of auspicious clouds appeared above the Great Qian Dynasty Imperial Palace at this moment.
There were gold auspicious clouds hovering above.
"Your Majesty, these are the Heavenly Fate auspicious clouds. Quick, look at it."
The empress, Chu Rouyun, couldn't help but remark as she pointed to the auspicious clouds in the sky.
Her joy could not be concealed at all as she grinned incessantly.
On the other hand, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty also could not help but clench his fist tightly with a smile that he couldn't hide.
'This nephew of mine has the talent of an immortal.'
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty secretly thought to himself but he sighed on the surface.
"I guessed correctly. Changyu got lost back then because someone was jealous of his aptitude."
"So, they secretly ruined his foundation."
"Now, I'm going to help Changyu heal his defects with the Heavenly Heart Divine Fruit, the Great Qian Dynasty Golden Elixir, and the various Spirit Gathering Arrays that I have."
"Once Changyu heals completely, his glory will be restored. Changyu, don't disappoint me."
The emperor muttered incessantly.
He was naturally elated to see Su Changyu's current situation.
However, the beam of divine light was continuously expanding, so much that the entire Great Qian Dynasty could detect the terrifying divine light.
In the Great Qian Dynasty.
Many powerhouses opened their eyes in that instant.
They were sensing the divine light with their eyes full of shock because it was really too terrifying.
It came from the Great Qian Dynasty Imperial Palace and plunged straight into the clouds. Even the cultivators from 50,000 kilometers away could see it.
Towards the end, there were more than just auspicious clouds.
Even other divine objects evolved from it.
There were several golden dragons hovering above the sky.
There were several Jade Qilins erected in the void with treasures in their hands.
There were fire phoenixes soaring above the palace.
The ground in the Great Qian Dynasty was covered in golden lotuses and divine beasts were running everywhere, making the entire place look extremely auspicious.
Many people in the Great Qian Dynasty were bathing in the golden light with an indescribable feeling. It was as if their cultivation levels had been increased greatly.
However, everything happened because of Su Changyu.
In the Immortal Ascension Hall, the round jade in his head was fused.
He felt an indescribable feeling.
Ka-ka-ka.
It seemed to be the sounds of chains breaking.
Amidst the blazing light, Su Changyu seemed to be standing alone in the sun.
His physical body had already been melted by this terrifying light a moment ago.
However, several golden threads soon appeared in the middle of the sun.
There were a total of 108 long golden threads.
They were golden spirit veins.
As the 108 spirit veins appeared, they soon intertwined to eventually form a body.
It was Su Changyu's body.
His body had been restored to the Connate state.
Su Changyu's physical body had suffered Connate damage, which could be understood as Dao damage.
Such injuries would almost never be healed.
Only the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty would bear to use such a precious item to help Su Changyu forcefully change his destiny.
Fortunately, Su Changyu succeeded.
At this moment, terrifying spiritual energy surged into Su Changyu's body.
The 108 spirit veins in Su Changyu's body formed a large Heavenly Cycle.
Each cycle would bring about an indescribable metamorphosis to Su Changyu's cultivation level.
Roar!
Caw!
The sounds of a dragon roar and phoenix caw sounded in Su Changyu's body.
Su Changyu's physical body had been greatly enhanced.
That was the definition of a dragon's body and a phoenix's constitution.
It was a terrifying constitution that contained the defense of the True Dragon while also possessing the self-healing ability of a phoenix.
That wasn't all.
An indescribable aura and might also permeated the great hall.
It was a type of sword intent. A horrifying one.
Su Changyu's essence and mind condensed an incredibly sharp Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi flowed throughout the hall.
It was full of menace. It was like a supreme immortal sword.
Su Changyu's aura was like that of a peerless expert.
His shadow gave the people around him an indescribable sense of oppression.
Within the gleaming golden light, there seemed to be a divine fetus being bred in it.
Just like that, seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Seven full days.
Within seven days, the entire Great Qian Dynasty got into a huge uproar.
Everyone knew that something incredible had happened in the Great Qian Dynasty.
The phenomenon that occurred seven days ago could not be kept a secret from the cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty at all.
However, no matter how they tried to find out, the people would never know what exactly had happened in the Great Qian Dynasty Palace.
They only knew that a remarkable person seemed to have appeared in the Great Qian Dynasty Palace.
Some cultivators speculated that the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had a son who was born to be an elite that stood out from others. He had cultivated for decades and was now out to shock the world.
Some cultivators speculated that one of the emperor's consorts had given birth to a prodigy.
The birth of the prodigy had led to a phenomenon, just like when the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was born more than two decades ago.
Many cultivators agreed with that theory.
After all, if he was really an elite, what was the point of hiding?
If it was another small sect, it would be justifiable since they might be afraid that the elite would be snatched away or assassinated by others.
How could the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty be afraid of anyone assassinating his son?
After thinking about it, the second theory was the most reasonable and plausible.
That was also the reason why the people of the Great Qian Dynasty were all riled up.
After all, the emperor had given birth to a prodigy, so wouldn't the national fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty be greatly boosted?
Hence, everyone in the entire Great Qian Dynasty was somehow excited.
In the Great Qian Dynasty.
Outside the Immortal Ascension Hall.
Various phenomena came to an end at this point.
In the past seven days, astonishing and spectacular phenomena would appear in the Immortal Ascension Hall.
However, it gradually toned down in the past two days.
There were no longer any phenomena.
Even the sounds had become much calmer.
Outside the Immortal Ascension Hall, the empress looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, seven days have passed, has Changyu's body returned to the Connate state?"
She asked the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Let me see."
The emperor took a deep breath and violet-gold light soon appeared in his eyes.
In the next moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty saw through everything and looked straight at the situation in the Immortal Ascension Hall.
However, when the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty saw the figure in the Immortal Ascension Hall through the array formation, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He froze and stood rooted to the ground.
In the Immortal Ascension Hall, there was a figure sitting cross-legged inside with the five divine beasts surrounding him. There was the Mysterious Yellow Qi above his head and a Qi Gathering Pagoda, which represented Major Perfection.
His long black hair cascaded down his back, making him look incredibly carefree and unfettered.
The emperor was stunned by his face and aura.
At this moment, he seemed to have seen… an immortal that descended in the mortal world.

Chapter 246: The Emperor's Star Appears, Su Changyu Heads To the Great Xia Dynasty
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was astonished.
In the Immortal Ascension Hall, he seemed to have seen an immortal.
Su Changyu had long hair and each strand was crystal clear. He was surrounded by five rays of spiritual light and the divine beasts around him showed how extraordinary he was.
However, the most shocking thing was Su Changyu's appearance and aura.
If he was described merely with the word handsome, it would seem a little degrading. It would be better to call him peerless and unparalleled.
Su Changyu's appearance had changed drastically. Although he could still be recognized through the contours of his face, his aura was the most important.
If Su Changyu was like a supreme Sword Immortal who had extraordinary aura before this, he was now like an itinerant immortal.
He stood still without any joy or anger. He was aloof, composed, indifferent, and supreme, so much that he gave others an urge to revere and worship him.
Even the emperor, who had absolute power, couldn't help but be lost and distracted when he saw that.
Su Changyu was extremely suave and his aura lived up to the expectations and fantasies that people had about immortals.
It was truly incredible.
The emperor's eyes were full of shock.
In the Immortal Ascension Hall.
There seemed to be drastic changes in Su Changyu's mental state too.
It was Su Changyu's first metamorphosis which made him comprehend something. He was very calm, and at the same time, there was a breakthrough in his cultivation level as he reached the Golden Core realm.
However, Su Changyu had ten Golden Cores.
There were a total of ten Golden Cores that rotated in his body like ten blazing suns in the sky.
That wasn't all. He also gained many Mystical Abilities that surfaced in his mind immediately.
At this moment, not only had Su Changyu's aura changed drastically, but his cultivation level had also increased.
He became extremely powerful and formidable as he emitted an intimidating aura while seated in the Immortal Ascension Hall, instilling a sense of fear and reverence within others.
Sensing the changes within him, Su Changyu was shocked too.
"This fruit is so powerful, huh?"
Although he understood something, Su Changyu was still Su Changyu, and when he snapped back to his senses, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
To Su Changyu, he would be satisfied and content if he could reach the Foundation Establishment realm, what more the perfected Golden Core realm.
Hence, Su Changyu was very satisfied with this realm.
However, at this moment, the gate of the Immortal Ascension Hall was suddenly opened.
Two people walked in from outside. They were the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty.
The emperor had previously already seen Su Changyu's appearance through his divine eye, but even so, when he really saw Su Changyu, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Su Changyu's appearance and aura were simply incredible, so much that he seemed to be giving them an illusion.
He was just like an immortal who had descended on earth.
However, they knew that there were no longer any immortals in this world, though there might be some in the future.
"Changyu."
"How do you feel?"
However, the emperor soon regained his composure and returned to normal as he asked Su Changyu how he felt with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Su Changyu would have been confused previously, but now, he already understood something.
The item that the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had given him was extraordinary, although he didn't know why the emperor valued him so greatly.
However, Su Changyu knew that the emperor had invested a lot into this.
Indeed, the saying was true.
With good looks comes luck.
"It's alright, whatever makes you happy, Changyu."
The emperor was on cloud nine after hearing Su Changyu thank him.
On the other hand, the empress gradually snapped back to reality too.
She had never seen Su Changyu in such a state before so she got distracted.
Now, she had recovered from her trance.
"Changyu, since your cultivation level has increased, when do you plan to go to the Great Xia Dynasty?"
She asked.
"Some time in the future."
Su Changyu said indifferently.
It wasn't that his character was like that, but rather, Su Changyu realized that as his cultivation level continued to increase, he had become much more indifferent, as if everything was insignificant to him.
"Oh? Why so?"
The empress was a little curious because Su Changyu kept clamoring about going home earlier before that.
'Why did he suddenly say that he would return later?'
"Uncle, Aunt, I plan to go to the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion to read some books and gain more knowledge."
Su Changyu revealed the reason.
For some reason, Su Changyu felt exceptionally sharp and intelligent now.
He wanted to go to the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion to read some books before heading to the Great Xia Dynasty.
After all, if he learned more and gained more knowledge, he wouldn't have to rely only on his handsome good looks to maintain a living in the Qingyun Dao Sect in the future.
"That's good. Changyu, it's so mature and reliable of you to be able to think that way. You're so much more brilliant than my eldest son."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty didn't expect Su Changyu to really plan to go to the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion to read some books, but it was a good thing so he agreed to it right away.
"Thank you very much, Uncle."
Su Changyu thanked again.
On the other hand, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty didn't say much and simply asked someone to arrange for Su Changyu to go to the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion.
15 minutes later.
As Su Changyu left for the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion, a figure slowly arrived behind the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
He was kneeling on the ground respectfully.
"Your Majesty, there are reports from the Heavenly Secret pavilion."
A voice sounded.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty came back to his senses.
"What's the matter?"
The emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, two hours ago, the Heavenly Secret Platform discovered a Ziwei Emperor Star that appeared in the sky."
The latter answered.
The emperor's expression changed immediately.
"Ziwei Emperor Star? This is impossible, the Great Qian Dynasty's Emperor Star is the Xuanji Emperor Star, how can it be Ziwei?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was somewhat stunned as he looked at the latter and said so.
Emperor Star.
It represented the star of the emperor of the dynasty.
The Emperor Star of the Great Qian Dynasty had appeared a long time ago, and it was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. It was extremely stable, so how could it have been changed?
The change of the Emperor Star was not a trivial matter and the star had to be his son because of the emperor. Even if the star wasn't the Crown Prince, it wouldn't matter.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Star of the Great Qian Dynasty is still there. The Ziwei Emperor Star is hanging above the sky and the Heavenly Secret Platform has informed us that the leader of the world may emerge soon."
The latter replied with his head hung low.
However, his answer made the emperor even more shocked.
"Leader of the world?"
The emperor's eyes were full of shock.
The five great dynasties, which divided the world, were all similar in strength to each other. Even though the Great Qian Dynasty was at the top, it could not conquer the other dynasties.
After all, none of the five dynasties dared to attack each other.
However, the emergence of the Ziwei Emperor Star was rather terrifying.
Leader of the world.
Those words would shake the ancient world.
However, in the next moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty gazed at the sky.
His eyes flickered with violet-gold light.
He saw the scene in the sky.
Indeed, a rising Ziwei Emperor Star was hanging above the sky while the Emperor Stars of the five dynasties were all revolving around it.
However, the emperor soon discovered a strange detail.
The Emperor Star of the Great Xia Dynasty seemed to be dim and lackluster.
"Great Xia Dynasty!"
"Changyu!"
"Ziwei!"
"Emperor Star?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty somehow understood something.
However, at the same time, in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Qian, was standing at the Heavenly Secret Platform and staring at the astrological map in front of him with a sharp and cold gaze.
