After collecting the equipment, Zhao Fu now had 500,000 sets of Corpse Soul Equipment, each of which was a weapon and a piece of defensive equipment. With 50 sets of Corpse Soul Equipment, Zhao Fu grinned and left the Trial Space.
A rainbow light once again shined out from his body, and Zhao Fu's body once again became hazy. Suddenly, the scene before him blurred, and Zhao Fu appeared somewhere else. Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Fu was quite surprised to find that he had not returned to the Heaven Awaken World but to a palace.
Now that his equipment, cultivation, and skills had been sealed, Zhao Fu had once again become an ordinary person without any power. Zhao Fu felt quite confused – he had clearly left the Trial Space; why was he here?
Looking at the clothes he was wearing, they seemed to be eunuch clothes. Zhao Fu instinctively touched his lower body and found that it was still there, causing him to let out a sigh of relief.
However, looking at the palace in front of him, Zhao Fu did not know what to do, and he did not know what dynasty this palace belonged to.
Zhao Fu looked to the side and saw a little eunuch. Zhao Fu went over and asked, "Little brother, what is this place?" Zhao Fu asked, "What is this place?"
The little eunuch looked at Zhao Fu strangely and replied, "This is the Spring Sun Palace. Do you not know the way?"
Zhao Fu still did not know the Spring Sun Palace, and he awkwardly asked, "What is the Spring Sun Palace?"
The little eunuch looked at Zhao Fu as if he was an idiot and said, "The Spring Sun Palace is one of Great Tang's palaces!"
"Great Tang's palaces?"
Hearing this, Zhao Fu frowned; he did not understand why he had returned to Great Tang's palaces.
Seeing Zhao Fu frown, the little eunuch immediately left. It was best not to interact with strange people in the palace, or else he would be dragged down.
Zhao Fu once again looked at the palace. This was most likely another trial, but all of his power had been sealed, and there was no way to increase his power here. In other words, he had to pass this trial with the power of an ordinary person.
Actually, cultivation was a bit too mystical. If it was in the real world, it could still be cultivated. Everyone was just an ordinary person without any great power, and there was a clear hierarchy.
Zhao Fu planned to look around to see if he could find a way to complete the trial.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
A loud shout rang out, and everyone in the surroundings, whether they were guards, eunuchs, or maids, all knelt on the ground.
Zhao Fu half-knelt as well. As a Chinese person, kneeling was a very important thing, as it represented one's dignity and integrity. There was an ancient saying that a man's knees were filled with gold, and he could kneel to both the heavens and his parents.
With Zhao Fu's experience, he would only kneel to his mother, and if he was forced to, he would only kneel on one knee. After all, even Zhao Fu would feel humiliated.
Zhao Fu slightly raised his head and saw a pale-faced middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe walk in with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
Of course, Zhao Fu did not recognize this Emperor, but since this was Great Tang's palace, this Emperor was one of the Great Tang Emperors. As such, Zhao Fu obediently lowered his head.
The Emperor walked with his people and did not pay any attention to the kneeling eunuchs and palace maids. However, one of the old eunuchs looked over and found that Zhao Fu was half-kneeling, and his gaze became cold as he said, "Damned servant, not kneeling in front of His Majesty!"
The old eunuch did not say anything because this was just a small eunuch's matter. There was no need to anger the Emperor and make the Emperor unhappy.
The old eunuch left with the Emperor, and everyone else stood up.
Zhao Fu also stood up, but in the next moment, Zhao Fu was pressed down by two guards. Zhao Fu felt quite startled and realized that someone had seen him kneeling.
Immediately!
By now, Zhao Fu had already expected this outcome. After all, not kneeling to the Emperor was a crime punishable by death in ancient times.
However, Zhao Fu did not have any strength at all, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free. Under the two powerful guards, Zhao Fu was brought into a room and pressed down on the ground.
A few muscular men holding large rods walked in and did not say anything as they viciously hit Zhao Fu's body. The immense pain caused Zhao Fu to struggle and cry out in pain.
However, the muscular men did not show any mercy and continued to swing their rods, vigorously hitting Zhao Fu.
The flesh on Zhao Fu's back was now completely mangled, and blood dyed his clothes red. Zhao Fu's struggling became weaker, and his cries became powerless moans. However, the muscular men did not stop – their orders were to beat Zhao Fu to death.
As the rods hit his body, Zhao Fu's consciousness became weaker and weaker until his consciousness fell into darkness.
"System announcement! You have died. "
After receiving this system announcement, Zhao Fu could not help but sigh. If he died like this and failed the trial, Zhao Fu felt quite unwilling. Thinking about how he had knelt, he felt quite conflicted. On one side was the trial, and on the other side was his dignity.
In the next moment!
A white light flashed, and Zhao Fu once again returned to the Chunyang Palace. Zhao Fu felt quite surprised – since he had not failed the trial and had to start all over again, the people around him were the same.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Another cry sounded out, and everyone knelt. Zhao Fu hesitated – on one hand, he had the trial, and on the other hand, he had to protect his dignity. He was Emperor Qin's Legatee, the future ruler of the Qin Kingdom; how could he kneel to someone else?
However, in the next moment, Zhao Fu was dragged to another room and beaten to death. He was then sent back to the Starting Ground, and everything went back to the same cycle.
After dying five times, the intense pain caused Zhao Fu to realize that he was nothing. He was just a lowly eunuch who could be killed at any time. This was reality – if he had not revived, he would have died five times already.
"His Majesty has arrived!" Another cry sounded out.
This time, Zhao Fu deeply breathed in and abandoned everything in the past. He saw his current identity and obediently knelt on the ground with his head lowered. He still felt quite uncomfortable, but this was his current situation – he could either submit or die.
As expected, Zhao Fu obediently knelt, and no guards came to arrest Zhao Fu. However, Zhao Fu could not feel happy, and his emotions were quite complicated.
Following this, Zhao Fu found someone who knew him. He was a tall and skinny eunuch called Xiao Gaozi, and Zhao Fu was now called Xiao Fuzi.
Zhao Fu quickly accepted this identity and started to do his job, which was to wipe the ground. The palace here was made of marble, and the marble here was all manually polished and moved. It was extremely expensive, and only the palace had marble.
Before, Zhao Fu's job was to wipe the ground with a piece of cloth every day.
