Li Shengnan's last words made Li Zhiwu's heart beat twice as he was still hesitating.
He has been trembling for so many years, isn't it just two things that he has been asking for?
Either you become successful in your cultivation, or your status rises.
The position of the leader of the Zhengyi Sect perfectly meets his needs.
After becoming the sect leader, he not only has a high enough status, but also can use the resources of a country to strengthen his own cultivation. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.
In this way, he has worked so hard and without complaint for so many years.
If he does this well, he will undoubtedly make a huge contribution to the Zheng Sect by eliminating a major hidden danger.
It is very beneficial for him to compete for the position of goalkeeper.
Li Zhiwu was restless in the room and kept pacing back and forth.
After a long time, he finally made up his mind to give it a try.
But before that, he still needed to verify it from many sources.
Try to make as few mistakes as possible.
There is no airtight wall under the sky, and any movement will leave traces.
Now that he has a direction, all that's left is to verify carefully.
If it is as Sheng Nan said, then it will be abolished, no, the fifth prince will be killed to avoid future troubles.
After Li Zhiwu decided on his next move, he took out a pen and paper from the house and began to follow the clues and investigate carefully.
…
Three days later, after continuous practice and with the blessing of [Heavenly Reward for Qin], Zhao Hongming finally mastered the sword technique of 'Opening the Sky' to the point where he could make a breakthrough.
Zhao Hongming glanced at the martial arts attribute panel in his sight:
[Name: Zhao Hongming]
[Cultivation method: Bahuang Eternal Age Kung Fu-First Grade Xiantian (3864/6000)]
[Martial skills: Kaitian - Uninitiated (813/800), Secret of the Eight Desolations (2312/X), Wrath Fist - Second Level (78/1000)]
[Can break through martial arts: Kaitian]
[Today’s practice time: 6 hours]
[Physique: Excellent]
[Root bone bonus: 2]
Zhao Hongming's eyes narrowed and he made a conscious statement: "Breakthrough!"
After receiving Zhao Hongming's instructions, the [Tiandao Rewards Qin] panel began to make a breakthrough in the 'Open Sky' martial arts.
In just a moment, the [Open Sky] column in the panel information changed, and at the moment of the change, he felt a bang in his head.
The whole person felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his body and soul trembled violently.
Zhao Hongming's mind was filled with a lot of strange information in an instant, and he had a splitting headache.
Thanks to the Eight Desolations Immortality Technique that he had practiced for a long time, his physical fitness was far better than that of ordinary people. The energy and blood in his body kept boiling, and he quickly became sober.
Zhao Hongming glanced at the information on the martial arts attribute panel:
[Martial skills: First level of Kaitian (13/900), Secret of the Eight Desolations (2312/X), Wrath Fist - Second Level (78/1000)]
The first realm?
That means there will be a second realm, a third realm, and even higher realms next.
As long as he is willing to work hard, he will be able to continue to achieve breakthroughs in this sword technique.
Maybe one day we can reach the point of opening the sky with one sword.
Zhao Hongming was delighted.
He closed his eyes and stretched out his right hand. As his fingers moved, countless memories of this sword technique emerged.
There is a sense of proficiency that has been practiced for many years, as if it was completely created by him.
Even though the 'Open Heaven' sword technique was born out of the martial art of slashing the world with one sword, it has undergone earth-shaking changes after the breakthrough of [Tiandao Rewards Qin].
The martial arts concepts used are more in line with the scientific development ideas of the previous life, and are more suitable for his current situation.
It is not something that the vision of a martial artist in this world can create.
Zhao Hongming stretched out his right hand and spread his fingers.
A subtle connection appeared in his mind,
Through this martial art, he can feel the "meaning" of the surrounding weapons.
Cold, boring, like touching steel.
Zhao Hongming held his fingers in the air, and the long knife placed in the room flew out with a whoosh and landed in his hand.
The moment he held the knife, he turned his wrist and slashed out.
A sword shadow about five feet long appeared and fell to the ground, leaving a mark about six inches deep, but the blade was intact.
The marks on the ground were entirely caused by the knife's will.
Zhao Hongming looked at the long knife in his hand, with a smile on his face.
This kind of ability already has a bit of the flavor of immortal martial arts, and cannot be compared with those Jianghu martial arts that can only use brute force.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
At the door, the young eunuch Gao Yanshi hurried in.
Zhao Hongming put away the long knife and said calmly: "What news have you heard? You are making such a fuss."
While he was in the hospital, although he never went out, he did not give up inquiring about external news.
It is not wise to keep working on things behind closed doors.
Therefore, he asked Gao Yanshi, who was usually smart and enterprising, to inquire about outside news from time to time and be prepared to respond at any time.
Looking at him now, he seems to have heard some news.
"Your Highness, this is a good thing." Gao Yanshi said happily: "I heard that the master of the Zhengyi Sect defeated the master of the Chihe Palace, and then the Qi State officially sent troops and declared war on the Zhao State. Everyone said that it won't be long before we It’s time to return to the palace.”
More than a month passed. After seeing Wei and Zhao fighting for several days, Qi State finally sent troops.
If Qi State sends troops, Zhao State will naturally have no time to attack Wei.
At the same time, the Chu State's biggest relyer, the Palace Master of Chihe Palace, was also repulsed by Bi Lingjun. Chu State would not have much advantage when facing the Wei State army next.
There is a high probability that they will give up when they see fit and will not continue the war.
As for South Korea, except for its excellent crossbows and swords and its abundance of assassins, it has nothing to worry about.
The alliance between Chu, Zhao and Han has shown signs of disintegration.
It is only a matter of time before the Four Kingdoms War ends.
After Emperor Jian'an has finished handling the urgent government affairs at hand and achieved his goals, he will recall the princes who are away from home to return to the palace.
In other words, the countdown to his return to the palace has begun.
As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others.
Having learned from the past, Zhao Hongming was worried that there would be another setback on the way back.
It's better to be careful.
Especially that trip to Longju made him feel uneasy, fearing that some caring people would miss him.
Zhao Hongming made up his mind to take advantage of this period to practice even harder. He must first strive to break through in his cultivation and increase his means of self-protection.
The other side.
After several days of continuous investigation, Li Zhiwu finally pried out some information from an imperial city siwufu.
The Chu army that attacked the prince had a close relationship with the fifth prince.
The current Emperor Jian'an also knew about this and had assigned the imperial guard to the fifth prince to serve as his private army.
This fifth prince is indeed unusual, has something strange, and hides it deeply.
Even judging from the information he had, Emperor Jian'an seemed to have just known about it.
Li Zhiwu couldn't help but feel happy, feeling that although his daughter was a bit ugly, she was very smart.
If she hadn't been careful and discovered these clues, he might not have been able to discover the clues so quickly.
Even if it is discovered, it will take a lot of effort.
Maybe the fifth prince would have returned to the palace by then, and if he tried again, there would be very few chances.
In this case, if God does not take it, you must suffer the consequences.
There is no need to let go of the credit you have given me.
