In the capital.
The golden and resplendent imperial city was now dyed red with blood.
In the royal study, one could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting coming from the outside world.
A white-haired old eunuch stumbled into the royal study and said in a desolate voice,""Your Majesty, the rebel army has already reached the Divine Martial Sect. General Wang is currently leading the Imperial Army to resist the enemy. The rebel army will be able to break through the Imperial City by tomorrow at most.”
"As long as you retreat to the ancestral mausoleum in Qinghe County, you will have a chance to make a comeback with the help of the 30,000 soldiers there.”
Lin Cheng, who was writing on the desk, had a calm expression. He did not feel panicked at all by this bad news.
It was as if the one who died after the city fell was not him, the emperor.
A moment later, Lin Cheng finally stopped writing.
He picked up the bright yellow brocade cloth on the table and dried the ink on it.
Lin Cheng read through it and found no mistakes in his thoughts. Finally, a smile appeared on his face.
"I cultivated Qi at the age of three, learned swordsmanship at the age of five, visited a famous teacher at the age of eight, and read through the classics of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and all kinds of martial arts manuals. Now, more than ten years have passed, and I have finally completed this divine technique with unprecedented comprehension.”
Even with Lin Cheng's calm temperament, he could not help but sigh in his heart at this moment.
Written on the brocade cloth was a mental cultivation technique called " All Rivers Run Into the Sea."
This was a supreme ultimate art that Lin Cheng had comprehended after gathering more than ten years of his knowledge.
With the concept of 'one's body as the sea, heaven and earth as the river', after the cultivation technique was completed, one could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon to nourish one's body, and finally reach the realm of controlling the myriad qi of heaven and earth, extraordinary and refined.
The first level of this cultivation technique, in order to speed up the accumulation of cultivation power, finally achieving the goal of being able to perceive heaven and earth and control all kinds of qi, also had the special effect of 'oneself as the sea, others as the river', which could plunder the cultivation power of others for its own use.
It could be said that this was a peerless divine technique that surpassed the era. It had the value to make all martial artists go crazy.
The old eunuch looked at Lin Cheng helplessly. Seeing that he was ignoring him, he did not dare to disturb him.
Although the emperor before him was in dire straits and was about to become the ruler of a subjugated country, he was still his master. At most, he would die with him.
Sometimes, the old eunuch could not help but feel sad for this young Emperor who had not even reached the age of twenty.
His grandfather and father were both fatuous rulers and prodigal sons. Two generations of people had squandered the entire Divine Martial Imperial Family's huge family business in forty years. The little Emperor's father had played himself to death with medicine last year, leaving a mess for the little Emperor in front of him.
At this point, not only was the foundation of their ancestors about to collapse, but they could not even protect their own lives.
"Zhang Banban, don't panic. In recent years, I've asked you to secretly capture those martial arts experts locked up in the palace.”
Seeing the helplessness and sigh on the old eunuch's face, Lin Cheng put away the ultimate art he had created and comforted him with a smile.
"It's still there, Your Majesty." The old eunuch named Zhang Hai suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and answered respectfully.
"Yes, bring me there." Lin Cheng said.
Zhang Hai accepted the order and led the way. Lin Cheng followed, followed by dozens of loyal imperial guards.
At this moment, the Imperial Palace was completely under martial law. Soldiers in armor and weapons could be seen everywhere.
The eunuchs and palace maids, who were usually scattered all over the country and handling various affairs, were all obediently staying in their residences at this time, waiting for the final judgment to arrive.
Either their emperor would guard the imperial city and beat out all the rebels, and their lives would return to peace.
Either they would die in the chaos of the army when the city fell, or they would be killed by the surrounding elite Imperial Army soldiers as they tried to escape.
Lin Cheng was used to everything around him and his expression was calm.
A moment later, Lin Cheng dismissed his attendants and entered a secret underground chamber in the palace.
There were more than three hundred martial arts masters who had taken tenfold the dosage of Tendon Softening Powder and were chained to the wall by iron chains through their lute bones.
Their martial arts skills varied. The weak ones were only second-rate, while the strong ones had already reached super-first-rate.
Although these people had different levels of martial arts, they had a common characteristic, which was rape and plunder.
Their existence was about to become Lin Cheng's resources to become stronger. They would become the first actual combat targets of the " All Rivers Run Into the Sea " mental cultivation method since it was born in this world.
Lin Cheng knew his current situation better than anyone else.
The Divine Martial Imperial Family had been defeated by his grandfather and father for 40 years. Now, they were beyond cure. Even with his wisdom, he could not save them from this mess.
Now that warlords were everywhere, he could only rely on himself to save himself.
Therefore, Lin Cheng, who had been intelligent since he was young, had been working hard to cultivate his martial arts and become stronger. It was so that one day, when he could not protect the foundation passed down by his ancestors, he could still retain the ability to protect himself.
The world was beautiful. Lin Cheng was not even twenty years old yet, so he did not want to die yet.
Whether or not he could turn the tide today and save the building from the brink of collapse would depend on whether or not the mental cultivation method of " All Rivers Run into the Sea ", which he had created with all his effort in the first half of his life, could achieve the desired effect.
"You must be His Majesty, right? My martial arts are strong, please let me go. I can take poison and be your servant for the rest of my life.”
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I've been kind since I was young.”
"Dog Emperor, if you have the ability, let me go and let us fight for 300 rounds. If I lose, you can kill me or cut me up.”
The moment Lin Cheng, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, entered, he was immediately discovered by many people in this secret prison.
Some people began to beg for mercy, some began to cry out for injustice, and some tried to use goading.
These martial arts masters who had done all kinds of bad things racked their brains at this time, displaying the greatest desire to survive in their lives.
Lin Cheng's expression was calm.
He knew better than them what these people were like.
Lin Cheng had verified the background of the people who were locked up here more than once. They were all people who deserved to die.
Without wasting any time, Lin Cheng walked up to the prisoner closest to him and placed his hand on the top of the prisoner's head. He activated the first level of the 'One is the sea, others are the river' mental cultivation technique.
Instantly, a terrifying suction force burst forth from Lin Cheng's palm.
The power that this criminal had cultivated for his entire life began to flow out of his head uncontrollably like a river and into Lin Cheng's body.
As soon as these strange internal forces entered Lin Cheng's body, they began to be obliterated by the terrifying suction force created by his mental cultivation method. They turned into the purest essence blood essence and were then refined by Lin Cheng's mental cultivation method.
It made his own power improve by leaps and bounds as if he had taken a great tonic. Even his meridians, apertures, meridians, bones, flesh, and blood were constantly being tempered.
Instantly, Lin Cheng's body felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring. A warm current flowed through his entire body, causing his essence, qi, and spirit to begin to increase crazily, and the speed at which he absorbed his cultivation power increased even more.
Soon, the martial arts expert who had been robbed by Lin Cheng fell to the ground with a pale face.
He was not dead yet, but he no longer possessed the evil martial arts.
Lin Cheng didn't look at him again. He withdrew his hand and walked to the next prisoner.
When the others saw the change in the prisoner, their faces were filled with fear.
Some cursed and some begged for mercy, but none of them could change Lin Cheng's mind.
As time passed, Lin Cheng's aura became more and more vigorous…
