The Da Qian Imperial Capital.
The Jade Capital.
In the Eastern Palace of the Crown Prince.
A man with a jade crown inlaid with a few strands of pure golden flowers sat on a chair in the depths of the palace. Between this man's eyebrows, there was a purple aura constantly shrouding him. It was like smoke and mist, giving off an incomparably mysterious and noble feeling.
If a Daoist expert who was good at "aura observation" looked at him, he would know that this man was extremely noble and had an incomparably rich life. There was not a single trace of "decay" or "disfigurement" on him. Instead, he seemed to have a "purple aura from the east" charm.
This man was the Da Qian Crown Prince, Yang Yuan. He was already 36 years old, past the age of 30. However, because the Da Qian Emperor was still on the throne, he had to live in seclusion in the Eastern Palace. He did not usually show his face, nor did he supervise the country.
Originally, the imperial court of the Great Qian Dynasty was stable. Although there were strong enemies such as Yun Meng and Huo Luo, there were two strong warriors, namely the Godly Might King Yang Tuo and the Champion Marquis. The two famous generals, the God of War, were enough to resist the invasion and even had the chance to expand their territory. The country was currently in a peaceful and stable era. If this situation continued, as long as the Crown Prince could hold on, he would one day ascend to the throne.
However, this would take decades, or even 30 to 50 years.
Therefore, anyone in the Da Qian Imperial Court with a discerning eye knew that the Crown Prince was dissatisfied. Even the Emperor knew of the Crown Prince's dissatisfaction. Therefore, he vigorously promoted the princes and put his other sons in important positions. This created a balance of power in the court, allowing the Crown Prince and the other princes to fight while he remained as stable as Mount Tai.
At this time, the Da Qian Crown Prince, Yang Yuan, was sitting in the palace. He wore a loose embroidered robe, and his hands were placed on the armrests of the chair. He looked very steady, as if he had the entire country in his hands.
"Hmm?"
The Crown Prince sat steadily. His eyelids were drooping, as if he was thinking of nothing and doing nothing. In the spacious hall, there were no eunuchs, guards, or palace maids.
This was because the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards all knew that the Crown Prince was deep in thought and should not be disturbed.
After a long while, a faint snort suddenly sounded from the crown prince's nostrils, and the entire palace dimmed slightly. Following that, a woman appeared in the center of the hall.
This woman was completely white, and her robes fluttered in the wind. She had willowy eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and peach cheeks. She was wearing a pair of pale white cloud shoes, and her hands were clasped behind her back. After she appeared, she casually sized up the situation in the hall, and then her gaze landed on the Crown Prince, who was sitting in the middle.
"Wu Sheng, you actually entered the Imperial Palace? You should know that my Master has already cultivated to become a Human Immortal. His aura is shrouded in blood, and all the gods are at his beck and call. All the Daoist masters in the Jade Capital feel pressured at all times. Even when I cultivate my supernatural powers recently, my spirit is not circulating smoothly. Lan Jiu, that slave, has even found an excuse to leave the capital. "
When the Crown Prince saw the woman appear, he looked up. His eyes, which had never changed since the beginning of time, had a strange look in them.
"You don't have to say it, I already know. Just now, when I was ten miles away from the Jade Capital, I felt a strong, masculine Qi and blood, which made me very uncomfortable. The Way of Human Immortality, the Hidden Latch of Life and Death, and the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, he has finally succeeded. Once he has mastered one, he will master all. It will be even more difficult to deal with him in the future. "
The woman whom the Crown Prince called "Wu Sheng" said.
As she spoke, she addressed the Crown Prince as "you" without the slightest respect, which showed that her status was extremely high.
"He is my Master, and I naturally know how powerful he is. If his Taoist Heart had not been broken back then, he would have achieved such achievements 20 years ago …"
The Crown Prince smiled.
"It doesn't matter. This snow is probably a gift from the heavens." Wu Sheng said slowly, "This snow has lasted for such a long time, and the world is suffering from disasters. It is the right time to develop educational affairs and collect incense. After this winter, with the help of the power of incense, I can help you condense the Nine Dharmakayas, the Fighting Mother, the Mysterious Spirit, and the Immortal Primordial Spirit of the Void. When all nine become one, he may not be able to do anything to us."
"The educational affairs of the Central Province are developing well, but they can only be developed for a while. We can only use their power to practice Divine Sense. Once we succeed, we have to abolish them," the Crown Prince said slowly.
"Of course, after you ascend to the throne, these two great religions will definitely be abolished. Even if you don't, when our Divine Sense has reached the Advanced Level, you will also abolish them. You can take charge of the government affairs and destroy them with the force of a thunderbolt. You can also let the court officials see your means and win their support."
The beautiful woman named Wu Sheng nodded and said, "Of course, I understand the reason behind it. Of course, I won't be reluctant to part with the authority of the cult. How can the cult's authority compare to the divine weapon of the world?"
"I will leave everything to you." The Crown Prince let out a long sigh. The airflow in the cold air of the main hall condensed into a white fog that did not dissipate for a long time. It was like a faint ink landscape painting that formed all kinds of shadows.
The beautiful woman called "Wu Sheng" frowned. However, she looked at the various shadows formed by the white fog, which scattered and gathered, gathered and scattered again. She seemed to be in deep thought.
"You are right. The authority of the Divine Weapon of the country is naturally much better than the leader of the sect. Do you see it? I don't know what the future will be like. I can't comprehend it and see it clearly. "
After the Crown Prince finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the white fog in front of him dissipated. "However, Wu Sheng, if there is a future, I will naturally take you as my concubine. Then, I will abolish the Queen and make you my Empress. You can also be the mother of the world. The two of us might be able to imitate the ancient Divine Emperor. We can cultivate together for eternity, ride dragons into the sky, and roam the universe. "
"You don't have to say these words. Although I am reluctant to leave the authority of the sect, it does not mean that there are no people who are reluctant to leave it. If you want to kill a fat pig in the future, I am afraid that there will be people who will fight to the death. "
A smile appeared on "Wu Sheng"'s face.
"Are you talking about the Vacuum Path? Of course I know that he is ambitious. I like ambitious people. The more ambitious a person is, the more capable he is, and he will be able to get things done. However, this ambition is still within my control. If he does not know what is good for him, I can turn him into ashes with a flip of my hand. "
The Crown Prince sneered softly.
"I have recently received information that the Governor of Zhongzhou Wu Yuansheng, Hou Qingchen, has already expressed his stance. He actually ordered his men to cooperate with the sect for disaster relief. It seems that he is a wise man."
"Wise man? This man is as cunning as a ghost and as cunning as a fox! This time, I came here to tell you about this matter. Just yesterday, Hou Qingchen threw out his trump card and destroyed all the religious altars in the entire Wuyuan Province. All the ringleaders were arrested and thrown into prison. Not a single one of them escaped. Right now, he has already gathered a lot of evidence and is preparing to submit a memorial to the imperial court! "
"Wu Sheng" said coldly.
"What? Where did he get the courage to do that? How can he be so powerful? " The Crown Prince moved his body in his seat, but he still did not stand up. He said in a strange tone, "Last time when he destroyed the altars, wasn't he hit by a big handprint? If Ji Changyue did not save him, he would have died a violent death! How can he be so bold this time? Since you have come to me today, you must have found out what exactly is going on. "
"It is very simple. He has reinforcements," the beautiful "Wu Sheng" said.
"Reinforcements?" The Crown Prince's eyes flashed. "What reinforcements?"
"I haven't found out yet. I am going to find out, so I will report the situation to you first," Wu Sheng said.
"In that case, I will leave the matter to you. You must do it properly," the Crown Prince said.
"Of course, I know what I am doing!" "Wu Sheng" smiled and took a step forward. She walked into the void like a magic and disappeared.
At the moment when "Wu Sheng" left, the Crown Prince stood up. A purple light flashed in his eyes and he saw it immediately. "Lifeless" was wrapped in a light mist and flew up into the sky.
This light mist had a way to confuse people's eyes. Once it was wrapped, it was like an illusion in the void. Even if it flew in front of people, they would not be able to see it. Therefore, there was no trace of it.
"He Wusheng, little crane, I hope you don't think too much of yourself …" The Crown Prince looked at the beautiful "Wu Sheng" hiding her body and flying into the sky, disappearing without a trace. He shook his head slightly.
"So the Crown Prince already knew about Wu Sheng's background." Just as the Crown Prince was sighing, an old woman with a walking stick walked out from one side of the hall.
"When He Wusheng first became my disciple, I had my doubts. But she learned Taoism so fast that even I could not help but choose her as the Saintess of the Lifeless Path. Moreover, the Crown Prince is interested in her. "
The old woman said.
"Death Mother, go directly to Wu Yuansheng and bring back the heads of Hou Qingchen and the people behind him," the Crown Prince sat back in the chair and said.
Yujing City, Flower Scattering House.
Flower Scattering House was the most famous house and the holy land of elegance. At this time, the most talented girl in Yujing City, Su Mu, was sitting by the window of the tall building.
The whole room was covered with a thick curtain, and the fragrance of soft jade made it look like a gentle place.
Su Mu inserted a plum blossom in the vase with her ivory white hand.
Outside the window, it was snowing like goose feathers.
Although the heavy snow in Wu Yuansheng of Zhongzhou State had stopped, Yujing City was closer to the north and Snow Province. Once winter came, the snow would not stop.
Just as Su Mu was carefully arranging the plum blossom, a breeze blew up the curtain and seeped in from the window.
"Is it little Crane? Recently, Yujing City is mixed with all kinds of people and experts. You'd better be careful when using Taoism. "Su Mu did not look back and continued to arrange the plum blossom.
The breeze stopped, and the figure of a beautiful woman appeared. It was Wusheng who had just met the Crown Prince.
"Greetings, Saintess."
After He Wusheng appeared, he looked at the back of Su Mu arranging the plum blossom and bowed slightly.
"Little Crane, now you're the Elder of Taishang Path. Our Taishang Path is above all other Taoist sects. In our eyes, the imperial power is just a symbol of power that is alternately renewed. The divine weapon of the state is just an artifact that we can play with at will." Su Mu said, "You haven't developed this kind of temperament. When we meet, all the etiquette is unnecessary."
"This temperament can only be cultivated by the Sect Leader and the Saintess. The closer I get to the imperial power, the more I know the horror of the imperial power. I can't help but feel a kind of pressure."
He Wusheng smiled and sat down on a chair.
Next to the chair was a bronze phoenix basin with charcoal burning in it.
"Saintess, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. It has already brewed into a disaster. If it goes on like this, the power of Zhen Kong Sect that the Crown Prince has secretly built will grow with the disaster. I'm afraid that the Crown Prince will really master his supernatural power. Once he does, it will be difficult to control. I've gained the Crown Prince's trust with great difficulty, but I want to make him fail at the critical moment. " He Wusheng fixed his eyes and looked at the charcoal in the brazier without a trace of smoke. Instead, there was a faint fragrance.
This kind of charcoal was made from the Golden Silk Nanmu. Even Wang Ye's house could not afford to burn it.
"Even if he has mastered the Nine Great Vacuum Dharmakaya, it's not a big deal. Master has his own ideas. It's better if he can master it. After that, when the father and son fight, the imperial court will be in chaos, and it will be more convenient for Master to choose the Human Emperor. "
Su Mu said.
"Does the Sect Leader have a suitable Human Emperor?" He Wusheng asked.
"Of course," Su Mu said faintly.
"Who?" He Wusheng looked at Su Mu, and his expression became attentive.
Su Mu's lips moved slightly, and he spat out three words, "The Champion Marquis."
"The Champion Marquis?" He Wusheng exclaimed, "Why did Master choose him?"
"He is a suitable candidate. As Wu Sheng, he does not cultivate Dao techniques, and he is not a ghost immortal who can reincarnate." Su Mu said quietly, "And this time when he went to the Outer Endless Wasteland, Master met him in a hurry and talked with him. Only then did we confirm that he is the Human Emperor candidate!"
"The Sect Leader met the Champion Marquis in the Wasteland?"
He Wusheng was slightly moved.
"Yes, and the Champion Marquis is the illegitimate son of the Qian Emperor Yang Pan. After the civil war in the imperial court, he will be the one to settle it, and then he will ascend the throne. As for Yang Pan and Yang Yuan, as the Crown Prince, they cultivate Dao techniques in vain, trying to live forever, and take advantage of all the good things in the world. How is it possible? " Su Mu said, "The Champion Marquis achieved the body of Wu Sheng at the age of fifteen. Originally, I thought he was the reincarnation of a ghost immortal. But Master met him once, and he is not the reincarnation of a ghost immortal, so he made this decision."
"Since he is the illegitimate son of the Yang family, I am afraid he is also jackals of the same tribe! But the Sect Leader's eyes are not wrong, "He Wusheng said faintly.
