Yongxing ten years.
"I broke through!"
In the luxurious residence outside the imperial mausoleum, Mu Xiaojin happily embraced Chen Shen.
She broke through and became a perfect monk at the ninth level of Nascent Soul.
"Congratulations, senior sister!" Chen Shen congratulated heartily.
"It's far worse than Junior Brother." Mu Xiaojin raised her head and said softly.
Although she didn't know Chen Shen's specific cultivation level, the opponent sometimes danced with his sword, and his aura of opening and closing was definitely not comparable to that of a monk who transformed into a god.
"Let's go, Zhang Ping's child has just turned one month old and invited us to have a drink." Chen Shen said.
As they settled down in the imperial mausoleum, many young luck masters from Ziyuan blossomed and gave birth to children.
Zhang Ping's wife also gave birth to a son a month ago, so he held a banquet at Xianshenju and invited a group of relatives and friends to celebrate.
"Have you thought about what to give as a gift?" Mu Xiaojin asked on the way.
"Already prepared." Chen Shen nodded.
Squeak, click.
When we walked to a busy street, a group of people came in force. The prison van loaded with prisoners drove slowly through the streets, the wheels rubbing against the ground and making a squeaking sound.
The horse's hooves stamped hard, and there was a cry in the nose, a breath of white breath, and a long neighing sound.
"Isn't this the majestic young master of the family? How did he become a prisoner?"
In the prison car was a young man with a slightly gloomy face.
The melon-eating crowd recognized it and talked about it one after another.
"How could this man, who is a ostentatious person in the city and loves to show off, suddenly be arrested? Is he going to be shipped out of the capital and sent to the frontier?"
"Mr. Lang Zhongling is a great immortal official. Now that his son has been arrested, didn't Sir Lang Zhongling protect him?" Someone was wondering.
Lang Zhongling was one of the Nine Qings, second only to San Gong, and his energy was absolutely huge. How could he allow his son to be sent away?
"Lang Zhongling? Look carefully. Is the old man in the prison car behind you the doctor you mentioned?"
As someone mentioned it, many people took a closer look at the unkempt old man in the second prison car and found that he looked familiar.
Then everyone was shocked that the doctor and his son were actually arrested.
"What on earth did this guy do? How come he was caught when he was so good?"
"It seems that the crimes committed over the years were exposed and reported, and the Holy Emperor was furious. However, everything was fine before. This time I heard that another adult was offended. It was exposed by Tingwei, who is at the same level as Lang Zhongling."
Someone lowered his voice, obviously knowing some inside information.
Chen Shen watched the team escorting Lang Zhongling and his son gradually disappear, then turned around and took Mu Xiaojin to the banquet.
Daxia has been at peace, but there will never be peace in the court, and there will always be fighting.
Today I will give you a copy, and tomorrow you will file a complaint against me. The officials will never tire of it.
This is also the charm of the court. Of course, the loser will either be beheaded and have their homes confiscated, or a high-ranking official like Lang Zhongling will be sent to the frontier, and his wife and children will be sold into a miserable kiln.
"Brother Chen!" Chen Shen met Duan Li on the way, and he also brought the family papers.
Then, several people walked together.
"What is the gift prepared by Brother Duan?" Chen Shen asked.
Duan Li took out a gift box and opened it. There was a volume of books lying inside.
"Swordsmanship!"
"I remember that this swordsmanship is extremely terrifying and ranks among the most unparalleled magical powers."
"Children from other families played with mud when they were young. Brother Duan gave this swordsmanship to Zhang Ping's children. Did he want the children of Zhang Ping's family to play with swords?" Chen Shen said with a smile.
"That also depends on the talent of Brother Zhang's son. If he is not extraordinary in cultivation, I'm afraid my swordsmanship can only be used as a decoration." Duan Li smiled.
"I'm here to help Brother Duan!" Chen Shen took out a gift box. After opening it, a medicinal fragrance filled the air, and the elixir exuded a faint brilliance.
"Spirit Ascension Pill! It's still the best!" Duan Li exclaimed, his eyes shocked.
He has taken this elixir before, so he naturally knows the efficacy of this elixir, which can significantly improve the level of his spiritual roots.
It is definitely much more precious than the peerless magical power he sent.
"I'm still looking for a spiritual elixir. I didn't expect such a valuable elixir. Brother Chen just gave it away." Duan Li looked envious.
"Ah! Wrong one." Chen Shen quickly put away the treasure box and took out another identical gift box, which also contained the Spirit Ascension Pill, but the quality was far inferior to the best.
"..." Duan Li.
"This is the only one. If Brother Duan wants it, you can exchange it for it." Chen Shen glanced at the child next to him and knew what he was thinking.
The main ingredient of the top-grade spiritual elixir is Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk, which he didn't have originally. The last time Chu Yuyan came to him for a drink, he let it slip. Then Chen Shen tried every means to get some from the unparalleled genius at a high price.
It was refined for Mu Xiaojin.
It's a pity that the other party couldn't improve his spiritual root to the highest level even after eating three of them.
There is one left, and Chen Shen is preparing to sell it soon.
"Okay!" Duan Li was overjoyed and said, "Brother Chen, if you need anything, just tell me."
"I'm very interested in this sword-controlling skill. I don't know, Brother Duan..." Chen Shen looked at the other person and just grabbed a child's gift, wondering if it was appropriate.
"Brother Chen, just take it!" Duan Li directly handed over the gift containing sword control skills.
"However, this sword-controlling skill is not the peerless magical power that is passed down. On the contrary, it is stronger. This is the follow-up chapter of the sword-controlling skill. Even if it is compared to the peerless magical power, it is not far behind." He took out another volume of book.
"This is the result of an adventure my father and his friends took when they were young. It is a unique copy. Of course, my father and I have already memorized it by heart." Duan Li explained.
"Brother Duan is generous, but if you do this, you will lose money. Just so I opened a furnace of these ordinary-quality Spirit-raising Pills, and there are eight more pills left, all for Brother Duan." Chen Shen handed over the Spirit-raising Pills and stored them in his hand. All the remaining elixirs in the material bag were handed to the other party.
Then, he replenished another 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
So, after changing, the two looked at each other and blushed slightly.
The Pill of Ascension and the Art of Sword Control were originally given as full-moon gifts to Zhang Ping's son, but they were exchanged.
...
After exchanging items, Chen Shen and Duan Li each exchanged real gifts and walked towards the Immortal Residence.
"Brother Chen, Brother Duan, please take your seats quickly."
Entering a large private room in Xianshenjuli, Chen Shen found that many people had come, all of them were familiar Qi Luck Masters, and even Jinlin Grandmaster Yu Qing was there.
When it comes to giving gifts, many people give them unusual ones, but they are not particularly precious.
Originally, Duan Li could amaze the audience, but he was intercepted by Chen Shen halfway. In the end, Shi Can took the lead in this section.
He gave a quasi-sacred weapon, a rattle, which could unleash a very powerful sonic attack.
Of course, the charm in the weapon is sealed.
Zhang Ping's son was born very cute, pink and jade-like, with a rosy face and a pair of big twinkling eyes.
"Brother Zhang, have you ever named your child?"
"Take it, I forgot to tell you, my name is Zhang Hua." Zhang Ping glanced at Chen Shen who seemed to be regretful, and said to everyone.
Of course Chen Shen felt regretful. He was the best at naming, but he had a solid literary foundation, but he couldn't put it to use.
Then, everyone drank, sang, and chatted.
"Dr. Zhongling's house was ransacked today. Did you all hear about it?" someone suddenly said.
"Listen, I went to see them today. The father and son were sent to the frontier. I heard that it was the lord's mortal enemy who exposed them." Shi Can nodded.
"It should be a fight between two factions. Lang Zhongling was dismissed, and it is estimated that Tingwei's side will also be violently attacked." A fortune master who had a little knowledge of the current situation said.
"No, this involves a battle for the right to inherit the throne!"
"oh?"
Everyone looked at him and saw that it was Duan Li who spoke. He was a very connected person. His father was the Holy Master of the Imperial Tomb and his uncle was an official in the court. His rank was not low. He was probably the only one who knew more.
"This time, the eldest prince took action against the second prince. Among the princes, these two are the most powerful. Many immortal officials in the court have joined forces..." Duan Li lowered his voice and told everyone a lot of inside information. .
"The Holy One has not appointed the crown prince yet. It is estimated that there will be a series of unsmoking fights between the princes." At the end of his speech, he sighed.
"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne a few years ago, so you shouldn't be in a hurry to establish a crown prince, right?"
"Why are you not in a hurry? Are you stupid?" Someone said angrily, and then whispered:
"I heard that our Holy Lord only has a lifespan of five hundred years, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
While speaking, he looked at Duan Li, who should know better and wanted to verify whether this rumor was true.
Duan Li nodded lightly, confirming the news.
Seeing this confirmation, everyone was shocked. The emperor of the Immortal Dynasty only had five hundred years to live.
But soon, everyone will understand why.
"Yes, Your Majesty was a figure from Taizu's period. He once followed Emperor Taizu and led troops in battles. He is indeed not young anymore."
"How time flies."
The banquet lasted until early in the morning before all the luck masters left.
The main reason is that gatherings like this are really fun, with a group of familiar people drinking, talking and laughing.
The next day, Chen Shen and Mu Xiaojin began to learn the art of sword control.
There are three styles of sword control:
Use Qi to control the sword, turn Qi into a sword;
The man and the sword are united, and the sword is executed with the will;
Wan Jian returns to his clan!
"This swordsmanship is so powerful, only inferior to the Four Seasons swordsmanship." Chen Shen praised.
Chi!
A sword light appeared instantly, carrying great power.
The bright sword light fell into Chen Shen's hand and turned into a long sword.
The first move is mainly to control the flying sword, which can take people's heads from thousands of miles away. It is a very powerful sword-controlling magical power.
"Junior brother, your talent is too high. I still know a little bit about it, but you got started directly." Mu Xiaojin was very surprised as she held the scroll in her hands.
"Just so-so." Chen Shen said modestly.
Years really fly by, time is passing quietly, and it is impossible to catch it.
Twenty years of Yongxing.
The battle for the right to inherit the throne in the court became more and more fierce, and many high-ranking officials were dismissed from their posts and were pulled down from their posts in this war.
All parties continued to submit petitions, requesting that the crown prince be established early so that he could help the emperor share the state affairs.
However, Yongxing never established a prince, and seemed to be happy to see this situation.
However, this situation was finally broken one day.
This early summer.
In the palace, a terrible vision appeared.
Purple air came from the east, red light filled the entire sky, and a golden shadow of a real dragon hovered over the palace and roared.
Everyone didn't know what happened until the next day when news came from the palace.
The eldest prince gave birth to a Qilin son, who had the best spiritual roots and was born with the body of a true dragon.
This is an extremely terrifying physique. The body's energy and blood are like a dragon. If it is developed to the extreme, the strength of the body can be comparable to that of a real dragon.
"With the best spiritual roots and a true dragon body, will this little emperor's grandson who is not yet one month old want to challenge Chu Yuyan, the unparalleled one in the world?"
"The true dragon body once appeared in Dongzhou. It was very powerful. Ancient books record that there once was a genius who was as talented as the emperor's grandson. He could defeat unparalleled geniuses or even surpass them."
"The true dragon body can only appear in the Immortal Dynasty royal family, and it is the kind that is rare in thousands of years. It seems that Chu Yuyan will have a rival in the future."
People in the imperial city were talking a lot, this was definitely the most sensational thing this year.
The young emperor's grandson's talent was astonishing, and he was directly compared with Chu Yuyan. As for other geniuses who were famous all over the world, they were not mentioned.
In a house outside the imperial mausoleum, Chen Shen opened his eyes.
"True dragon body? Top-quality spiritual roots?" He murmured softly, then shook his head:
"Close to heaven, close to the Tao, close to immortals, this is the quality of heaven!
Those who have never had this kind of talent will not understand the horror of Tianpin spiritual roots. "
He didn't care about the commotion outside, and he wasn't a top grader, so it didn't matter. However, Chen Shen felt that the battle to win the rightful son should come to an end.
"Speaking of which, Chu Yuyan stopped being unparalleled a long time ago." There was a huge divine power in his body that was fleeting.
Chen Shen broke through and became a fifth-level Void Return monk.
"It's just that as the cultivation level increases, the time required becomes longer and longer." He sighed.
It took more than ten years to break through from the fourth level to the fifth level, and it would only get harder and harder in the future.
The swordsmanship and swordsmanship that I have been studying have also made progress. I have already mastered the first move, and I have also started to learn the second move, but I have not yet started the third move.
However, as his understanding of swordsmanship became deeper and deeper, Chen Shen felt that this swordsmanship was far more than just peerless magical power.
Then, Chen Shen walked out of the courtyard and went to the imperial mausoleum to give a lecture to the luck master under the golden scales.
Over the years, he has never slacked off in Qiyun, but he has made little progress. In ten years, the level of Jinlin has not reached the quasi-grandmaster level, of course, it is not far away.
...
As Chen Shen expected, in the autumn of this year, the position of the East Palace was confirmed, and the eldest prince was established as the prince of Daxia as the eldest son, which shocked the imperial city.
"Did the eldest prince become the crown prince because of his son? The father is more valuable than the son?"
"It is inevitable for the eldest prince to become the crown prince, what a great grandson!"
At this point, the court decided the winner of the battle for the heir, and the second prince ended in despair.
"Now that we have established the crown prince, even the court will be a little quieter. Next, we will wait for the holy grandson to grow up and dare to compete with Wushuang!" Someone expressed expectations.
Spring passes and autumn comes, and time passes year by year.
In the blink of an eye, it was forty years ago that Shengsun was born.
Yongxing sixty years.
The saintly grandson Li Xuan lived up to everyone's expectations. At only forty years old, he was already regarded as invincible among the gods.
"Only at the seventh level, he has defeated all the invincible gods in the world. He is already like Chu Yuyan." Countless people in the imperial city highly praised this powerful saint grandson.
However, the unparalleled genius Chu Yuyan, whom they compared with each other, has arrived in the capital.
As he walked in the imperial city, he could often hear many people mentioning Shengsun, and he would often be brought along during discussions to compare the two.
Chu Yuyan sneered at this. He didn't even care or pay attention to this saint-grandson when he was just born.
As Chen Shen said, if you have never ascended to the heavenly level, you cannot appreciate the horror of this unparalleled talent in the world.
"That's fine. Taking advantage of this Dongzhou Centenary Immortal Meeting, I will show you my true strength and show you what it means to be unparalleled in the world and to be respected in the same realm!"
Chu Yuyan, whose cultivation level is only at the fifth level of Void Return, said softly.
Then, he walked towards the imperial mausoleum.
For some reason, this genius had a special liking for Chen Shen. Although they were not equal in terms of identity or status, they became familiar friends.
