"What?" Chu Liang was suddenly surprised.
He failed to assassinate his biological father and usurp the throne, but the prince actually survived?
"I was very surprised at the time, but I found out later..."
Now that they were approaching Shushan, Elder Silu began to slow down his flying speed, seemingly wanting to finish his speech on the way.
"It turns out that he was the most talented and beautiful among the princes of that generation, so he was established as the prince. After that night, the emperor did not kill him immediately, but temporarily imprisoned him to clean up his followers. Who knew he was thinking about it? When he was dying, he actually made a breakthrough, gained a deeper understanding of the Burning Cang Dao, and came to the threshold of the eighth realm..."
"At that time, the guardian of the Xia family happened to be at the point of decline. Mingde became the only person of that generation who had cultivated the Burning Cang Avenue to its peak. Only he could take over. In order to prevent the avenue from falling by the wayside, the royal family finally made him a Taoist Fencang... is the new guardian of the royal family."
This is a lot of information.
The emperor of the Yu Dynasty must be a powerful person with divine fire life and at least the seventh level, but usually he is not the Taoist Fen Cang.
Because cultivating to the eighth level requires too many things, including talent, resources, understanding... and indispensable opportunities. It would be too difficult to choose the emperor based on this criterion.
Moreover, the most important thing for a guardian is to be strong, and to focus entirely on cultivation. This is definitely not what a good emperor should do.
Therefore, there will be a guardian in the royal family who is in charge of Fencang Avenue. A guardian in the eighth realm can sit in the royal family for hundreds of years, during which he can see off several emperors.
He does not participate in imperial power or government affairs. During the Taiping years, this guardian was completely unknown and probably did not need to take action once in hundreds of years.
But there must be.
If the royal family itself does not have a strong person at the eighth realm level, then the entire power of the imperial court, Kyushu, and the human race built with the royal family as the core will not be stable.
The inheritance of the Dao is easier than imagined, because the eighth realm Dao master himself has advantages, and it is difficult for latecomers to challenge and succeed. As long as his chosen successor comes to the threshold, he can take over naturally.
But once the guardian falls and no one comes to the threshold of the eighth realm, the situation will be very embarrassing. At that time, as long as there are other seventh-level masters who have cultivated Fencang Dao to its peak, they can easily become the master of Fencang Dao.
When the road falls, the whole world will know that the royal family has lost power.
There will definitely be other eighth-level experts in the court, but no matter how loyal those experts are, they are still "outsiders" in the final analysis.
The Xia family must have its own eighth realm. This matter is crucial.
Even if he is a traitor who just assassinated the emperor.
He must have gone through a series of tests and trials during this period, and these are not just for outsiders.
"Mingde has been in the imperial city for those years, cultivating in seclusion with an attitude of atonement, and silently guarding the royal family. He has never contacted Princess Luoyu, and has no idea that he has a child. Until that day, he was in the Immortal Sect I met the Emperor's daughter Feng at the conference..."
"He felt immediately that this was his daughter..."
Do you still need to feel it? It doesn't all depend on the good name you gave her... Chu Liang secretly cursed.
The answer lies in the riddle.
He doesn't even need to see a real person, he can start to doubt after seeing a registration form.
"A-Feng's pure divine fire life essence is quite rare among the royal family, so he deliberately wants A-Feng to return to the royal family so that he can take over his path in the future."
"But it failed."
"Afeng herself chose to stay in Shushan, but because of her relationship with the royal guardian, the court's attitude towards Shushan became friendly."
"So that's it..." Chu Liang sighed with emotion, "It's really a twist."
The long-standing curiosity was finally answered.
He used to wonder why Master could be so arrogant in Shushan, and almost no one could control him. Even if she is a powerful person in the seventh realm, doesn't there still be an eighth realm that can suppress her?
I thought she had Elder Si Lu as a backer before, but now I know it turned out to be even bigger.
I dare say that the entire Shu Mountain still relies on her affection to maintain the imperial court.
Ever since the Demon Suppression Tower was lost, Shushan has always had a good relationship with the Tianxing Divine Sect faction. It was once suppressed by the imperial court, and even the position of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect was in danger.
It has eased over the years, and it turned out to be thanks to the emperor's daughter Feng. For the current Shushan Sect, the support of the imperial court is very important. It doesn't matter if she makes a fuss or something.
As for the Divine Fire Life of Emperor Daughter Phoenix being more pure than that of other royal families, this is not surprising.
After all, they were born from close relatives, and the blood was not diluted, so it was normal for the concentration to be higher.
In fact, in ancient times, many ancient immortal cultivating families, including the three major aristocratic families, would reproduce within the family to maintain the purity of their bloodline.
Doing this will have a high probability of causing abnormalities, but among the many abnormalities, there will also be pure miraculous blood. For this miraculous blood inheritance family, other abnormalities are regarded as a price that can be paid.
But even though such a magical bloodline is pure, it is often accompanied by some other congenital disadvantages, such as being irritable, warlike and murderous, and stupid-minded...
Of course, Master has absolutely none of these.
Um.
Many ancient immortal cultivating families also began to marry with the outside world when they gradually declined, and gradually evolved into what they are now.
Chu Liang was thinking silently in his heart.
After Prince Mingde was deposed, because there was no outstanding prince similar to him in that generation, the old emperor directly selected the most talented one from among the emperor's grandsons and established him as the emperor's grandson.
Although the crown prince is a generation younger than Prince Mingde, he is not a few years younger. Ten years later, the old emperor died and the grandson came to the throne. Forty years later, the grandson passed away, and his son ascended the throne and became the current emperor. Thirty years have passed since then.
In other words, the current emperor still has to call his master a aunt.
After all, I can call him brother.
Oh my god.
Flying back to Shushan soon, you can see the brilliance above the sea of clouds going back and forth, heading towards Red Cotton Peak and Silver Sword Peak. These two industries promoted by Chu Liang directly made the entire Shu Mountain prosperous.
But Elder Si Lu frowned when he saw it: "With so many outsiders coming in and out, it is inevitable that there will be some chaos."
After all, Shushan is an old-school immortal sect. Except during the Shushan Summit, there are rarely so many outsiders coming in and out. It is really not good from the perspective of public security.
Chu Liang suggested at the right time: "It is better to move Red Cotton Peak and Silver Sword Peak to the outermost part of Shu Mountain. This can avoid chaos among the peaks."
Elder Si Lu pondered and nodded: "It is indeed a good idea."
Moving mountains is not a particularly difficult task for the Shushan Sect.
…
And in the depths of the water not far away, in the darkness, Xuanyinzi didn't know night and day. He only knew that he had received the second Soul Killing Altar that returned.
His dirty face had a crying look on it.
"You are finally back..." His voice sounded tired, "I thought you would never come back..."
He was tired of waiting.
If he doesn't let the Soul-Slaying Altar go out, he will still end up dying from exhaustion of energy and blood if he spends dozens or even hundreds of years here in vain. But after letting the Soul Killing Altar go out, the wait was simply torturous.
He is like a gambler who has lost his entire family fortune and is left with only a few taels of silver. He can only hope to recover his money by continuing to gamble. But there seemed to be a shameless banker over there who had been stealing his few possessions. But when he wanted to give up, he was there to help him win a little more.
Having done so much, he had no other choice but to continue investing in the Soul-Slaying Altar.
But the probability of the Soul Killing Altar coming back is too low...
After these days, only two came back. After the first one came back last time, he thought that the others would follow, but it was nowhere in sight.
Just when he wanted to give up for the second time, he came back with this one.
"ah……"
He sucked up the Yin Qi in it and barely got a trace of replenishment. It can be said to be a drop in the ocean compared to the strength he had at his peak, but it is enough to cheer him up now.
"Come back quickly, please!"
Good morning.
