"Father, what made you happy?"
In the courtyard of the Qiao Estate, two beautiful young girls slowly walked out. The elder sister was peerless, and the younger sister was beautiful. The two sisters were both beautiful.
These two were the daughters of Duke Qiao, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
"This is great news!"
Elder Qiao's face was flushed red as he said excitedly,"Daughter, the emperor has ordered the selection of concubines. This is a good opportunity. You two sisters are beautiful and will definitely be selected.”
"Father!"
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's expressions changed drastically when they heard that. Their hearts sank. They thought that it was something good, but it turned out to be this matter.
The idea of the Son of Heaven choosing a talent sounded very good, but the two sisters did not want to enter the palace walls. It was a bloody place. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Moreover, if he went, he would never be able to come out again. In the future, he could only be locked in the Imperial Palace. It would be fine if he was favored by the emperor. If he could not, he would die of old age alone there.
"Father has already registered for you. In a few days, it will be the day of the selection. You two sisters should prepare well.”
"Father!"
Hearing Elder Qiao's words, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's faces turned pale and they were a little sad, but they couldn't resist their father's decision.
Her family was originally a prominent family in River East, but because of the sudden changes in the world and the chaotic world of demons, the people were in dire straits. They had no choice but to hide with their entire family. In the end, they followed countless refugees to Luoyang.
They didn't expect that their father would actually let the two sisters enter the palace to select talents today. This made the two sisters extremely bitter.
In their hearts, they admired the heroes of the world, not the peacocks in the palace. Unfortunately, they could not refuse because they had already signed up.
If he went back on his word, it would be equivalent to deceiving the emperor and a great disaster would befall him.
"Sister, what should we do?" Xiaojiao panicked.
"What else can we do?" said Da Qiao bitterly. You and I sisters have no way out. Father has already signed up. If we don't go, we'll be deceiving the emperor.”
"We're finished!" Xiao Qiao looked like she was about to break down."I like peerless heroes…"
Da Qiao shook his head. He understood that this was fate. He could not change it. He could only obey.
The two sisters were in low spirits, while Elder Qiao's face was glowing. It was as if he was in high spirits when he had good news. In fact, he was also very helpless in his heart.
He had no choice because he had fled to Luoyang with his family and was unfamiliar with the place. Moreover, the world was in chaos and demons were everywhere.
Only the imperial city of Luoyang could settle down. After all, they had heard that the emperor had personally defeated the Demon soldiers. This made countless citizens of Luoyang feel at ease.
As long as the emperor was here, Luoyang would not be lost. This was the emperor's current powerful prestige. It had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and won the hearts of the people in one battle.
........
Not to mention Luoyang City and its surrounding areas, countless people were busy with the selection of the Son of Heaven.
As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Xia Chen did not have any self-awareness at all. He was hiding in his bedroom and cultivating silently.
Sizzle...
In the bedchamber, rays of light appeared. One could vaguely see flood dragons circling and dancing. There were as many as fifty of them.
These flood dragons were all condensed from a powerful blood essence, representing the power of a flood dragon.
Xia Chen caught the majestic national fate in the jade seal and directly broke the limits of his physical body time and time again. His blood qi condensed and transformed into a flood dragon that soared, causing phenomena to appear.
Behind him, a Five Elements Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared. It was shining brightly, and the Nine Palaces were rotating continuously.
The flood dragons soared into the sky and let out a faint dragon roar. The might of the heavens was so vast that the entire hall trembled.
In front of Xia Chen, a four-inch-wide jade seal floated. It continuously surged with massive amounts of national fate to temper his body.
As his physical body grew stronger, Xia Chen's strength grew more and more terrifying. From the initial strength of 20 flood dragons, it increased to the strength of 50 flood dragons.
Weng!
At a certain moment, Xia Chen's body shook. The entire hall shook slightly, and dust fell.
As Xia Chen slowly opened his eyes, two terrifying beams of light tore through the air. His blood boiled, and the fifty flood dragons roared in unison, shaking the sky and earth.
"The strength of fifty flood dragons. Not bad…" Xia Chen was satisfied.
He looked at the jade seal. A hundred years of national fate had been consumed, and there were still four hundred years of national fate left.
Thinking about it, this power of national fate would definitely allow his cultivation to break through to the limit. It might even break through the terrifying realm of 100 dragons in the Body Tempering realm.
According to the system, in the myriad worlds, there were less than ten prodigies who could reach this level.
"Currently, the Emperor's Guards have already changed into their Guards Set and are training on their Nightmare Warbeasts. Their combat strength will definitely increase by a large margin.”
Xia Chen muttered to himself as he thought about the current situation. The 100,000 imperial guards had already begun to equip new equipment and mounts.
The next step was to train and improve. However, Xia Chen thought that the Emperor's Guards still lacked a powerful battle formation.
"System, what is the most suitable battle formation for my emperor's guards?”Xia Chen directly asked the all-powerful system.
However, the system replied," Master, the Emperor's Guards have their own battle formation. There's no need to train them in other battle formations. As long as you raise the Emperor's Guards 'strength to the Qi Cultivation Realm, you can activate the powerful battle formation that comes with the Tiger Tally."”
"Really?" Xia Chen was surprised, but then he smiled and understood.
Since the system had said so, then there must be one. Once the 100,000 Emperor's Guards reached the Qi Cultivation Realm, they could activate the battle formation.
However, the Emperor's Guard was still at Tempered Body 10th Firmament. That was because Xia Chen, the Emperor, was only at this realm and could not surpass him.
Only when he leveled up would he be able to do so. However, the number of Emperor's Guards had already increased to a million.
Currently, 100,000 Emperor's Guards were enough. If there were any more, Xia Chen felt that if he did not have that much equipment, his combat strength would be greatly reduced.
Moreover, the newly joined Emperor's Guards were not strong enough, which was a big problem. Therefore, they did not expand the number of Guards for the time being.
"Dian Wei is riding on a Nightmare Warbeast, which fits his title perfectly. Ghost General Dian Wei, the evil god from hell.”Xia Chen muttered to himself. He had great expectations for his imperial guards.
He began to comprehend the Qimen Dun Jia and cultivate his spiritual power. He constantly refined his spiritual power into traces of magic power to strengthen Wang Yang's magic power.
As his physical body became stronger, his spirit had to go hand in hand. Cultivating his mana was the best choice, so he naturally could not fall behind.
After a round of cultivation, Xia Chen was full of energy. He had endless strength and energy. He wanted to fight the Demon King again.
Weng!
At this moment, a strange buzzing sound came over, attracting Xia Chen's attention. He suddenly looked up and saw the black clouds that shrouded Luoyang in the void gradually disappear.
"The demonic clouds recede, and the sun shines on the earth.”
Xia Chen stood up and walked out of the hall. He looked at the bright morning sun in the sky. The bits of gold scattered down, making one feel warm.
The demonic Qi retreated, and the entire Luoyang was full of vitality. Countless people cheered and shouted, thinking that it was the divine might of the Son of Heaven that broke through the demonic clouds and saw the blue sky.
"Xiao Yue, help zhen change. zhen wants to leave the palace.”
Xia Chen immediately thought of leaving the palace. He called for his maid Xiao Yue to change into a set of ordinary clothes for him. He brought Dian Wei and a dozen imperial guards and quietly left the palace.
