Chapter 138 - 138: The Secret of the Xia Emperor
Zhang Ronghua said,” There’s no need for us to dwell on this issue. It’s good to be on guard, but what happened last night was obviously a premeditated plan.
The murderer wanted to destroy Heavenly Earth. Although he didn’t manage to do it, he still severely injured them. In a short period of time, the popularity of Heavenly Earth won’t be able to recover to its previous glory. If nothing goes wrong, he should still make a move.””
The Crown Prince nodded. It was just as he had thought. He wanted people to pay attention to him, but he didn’t need to pay too much attention to him.
“How did you subdue Ding Yi?”
“He’s not a bad person by nature. After trying to improve himself and failing, he’ll give up.”
He briefly explained the situation at that time.
“His grandfather is very mysterious. To the outside world, he is leading troops outside. I have asked people to investigate, but there is no news! However, he had indeed made a name for himself with his father. It would be best if he could be taken in for his own use. If they really fell out, he would try not to offend him as much as possible.”
“Even you can’t find it?”
The prince didn’t want to admit it, but it was the truth.
Zhang Ronghua understood. Combined with the news from last night, it was no wonder that Huo Jingyun had been so humble. Ding Yi’s body was weak to begin with. If he left in anger, the Huo family would be in trouble.
“It’s almost time to go. Go!”
He bade farewell and left.
He left the Eastern Palace and walked toward the Imperial Palace.
After arriving at the Vermilion Bird Sect, he followed the rules and showed his waist token. He entered the outer palace and walked towards the Scholar Hall.
Ding Yi had arrived very early, much earlier than him, but he did not enter. He sat on the threshold of the stairs, as if waiting for him. When he saw him, his eyes lit up and he quickly stood up to welcome him.”Brother, what took you so long?”
“I went to the Eastern Palace before coming back.”
“Let’s go! Let’s go in. Don’t you like reading? I brought you a good treasure.”
Zhang Ronghua found it strange that he was talking about books and treasures. Could it be the manuscripts of a great scholar? Or a supreme classic?
With a little more interest, she followed him into the Scholar’s Hall and walked towards the Book Collection Hall.
The news of his arrival was also sent to Qian Wenli immediately. He had people continue to keep an eye on him and inform him immediately if there was any news.
In the God Cultivation Temple.
The place where the Xia Emperor rested was heavily guarded. It was surrounded by imperial guards and a powerful array that formed an iron bucket. Without his orders, no one was allowed to approach. Even if the Empress came, she would have to wait outside.
After the morning court session.
The Xia Emperor didn’t go to the royal study to deal with the memorials. He brought Wei Shang here instead.
On the dragon bed.
Emperor Xia did not have the prestige and dominance of the external Emperor. With a raise of his hand and a lift of his foot, he had the supreme aura of suppressing all living things. His face was pale like a piece of white paper. On his old face, dense wrinkles could be seen clearly, like an old man who was about to rot.
His eyes were cold and filled with a terrifying killing intent. The sleeves of his dragon robe rolled up, and a pair of big hands clasped together vigorously. Cracking sounds came out, and it was as if an ancient evil dragon had woken up and was about to devour the sky.
Beside him, there was a pile of cultivation techniques and secret techniques. All of them had one thing in common. They were either cultivation techniques for health preservation or cultivation techniques for increasing one’s lifespan. Any one of them would be priceless outside. Even the top factions might not be able to obtain one. However, in his place, they were like trash, casually piled up.
The effect was obvious, and the increase in lifespan was also considerable. The lowest was ten years, but it was difficult to cultivate. The cultivation conditions were very harsh, and it was not for people to cultivate at all.
Other than these things, there were also a bunch of heaven-defying spirit medicines and medicinal pills that were related to longevity and could increase one’s lifespan. When outsiders saw them, they immediately became envious and wished they could eat all of them to increase their lifespan.
There were no side effects, but he couldn’t take it!
Just now, he had taken a pill that increased his lifespan the least, and it had almost taken his life. He spat out a mouthful of black blood that emitted a strong stench. He was still on the ground.
The majestic killing intent materialized and filled the palace. Those with slightly weaker willpower couldn’t withstand this massive killing intent at all. Their minds were instantly corroded by the killing intent and turned into a shell.
Wei Shang poured a cup of spirit liquid over. The Xia Emperor received it expressionlessly and rinsed his mouth before spitting it into the alms bowl. His cold and deep eyes shot out two terrifying rays of cold light as he asked coldly,”ls there no other way?”
The Xia Emperor had been serving him since he was a child, and after so many years, he understood his personality very well. He knew that this was his obsession. If he couldn’t increase his lifespan, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At that time.
The Grand Xia Empire was about to welcome a terrifying purge. The high and mighty aristocrats, no matter how glorious they were now, would die a miserable death when the time came!
He would not even let a dog off if he killed nine clans!
‘You’ve tried all the methods that can be used over the years. The cultivation conditions for increasing lifespan are too harsh. The simpler ones have poor effects or even no effects! No matter how much you increase your lifespan, even if it’s just a day, you won’t be able to digest it after taking it and will directly vomit it out!”
He couldn’t bear it
The human emperor of a generation, under the siege of Grand Shang, turned the tides and saved Grand Xia from the abyss of suffering. He stood at the peak once again and avoided the fate of being destroyed.
She treated him as her family and wholeheartedly assisted him. Her feelings for him were extremely deep. She comforted him, “Perhaps this old servant is not doing well and has not found a suitable cultivation method. The world is big and there are all kinds of strange things. As long as I work hard, sooner or later, I will be able to find a suitable method..”
