Capital, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
The agarwood of the red mud warmer slowly burned and crackled.
Lu Chen sat cross-legged on a jade mat, cultivating the War God Catalog with his eyes closed.
Golden true energy spiraled up from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.
" Congratulations, Your Majesty. You have achieved a breakthrough in your cultivation," the old eunuch Yi Kui said with a warm smile.
Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes and sighed."This technique is indeed profound and endless. I only understand a little, but I feel that it is much stronger than before.”
No wonder the Lu Clan's great ancestor was so fierce back then, fighting until the entire world could not raise their heads.
Among them, Great Wei's great ancestor's own strength was definitely the most important, but this cultivation method also played a significant role.
No wonder the other three books were created based on the War God Catalog.
It was not an exaggeration to say that this cultivation technique was all-encompassing.
Moreover, it was broad and not mixed, forming its own system.
It did not look like something that should exist in the human world.
"Sa-"
The sound of air being torn apart was heard. A figure in a red python robe descended from the sky and landed outside the royal study.
"Your Majesty, this old servant has something to report.”
"Come in."
Cao Zhengqin pushed open the door and entered quickly and lightly.
At this moment, Lu Chen had already gotten up from the futon and sat back on the deerskin recliner. He held a teacup in his hand and glanced at him.
"Cao Zhengqin, what's so urgent?”
Generally speaking, the East Hall sent intelligence through spies.
It was rare for the superintendent to come personally.
"Your Majesty, the result of the battle at the Six Paths Mountain of Youzhou is out.”
Cao Zhengqin's expression turned serious." The two of them fought to the death, and the 'Evil Emperor' Xiang Tiange went missing.”
"However, in the end, he even sacrificed his own demonic seed. I'm afraid that he's doomed. Even if he doesn't die, his foundation will be destroyed.”
"The old heavenly master has been poisoned by the Demonic Emperor's demonic seed and probably doesn't have much time left to live.”
"Although the winner of this battle was the old heavenly master, both sides suffered heavy losses.”
The Demon Seed was the core of the [Demonic Seed in Dao Heart].
Just like the Golden Core in Taoist legends, it was the final trump card of those who cultivated this cultivation method, but it was also the greatest life gate.
Even the Demon Seed was sacrificed, which meant that 'Evil Emperor' Xiang Tiange had indeed been forced to the end of his rope.
This step was clearly a life for a life.
" But…But the strange thing is…" Cao Zhengqin hesitated.
"The old heavenly master of Longhu Mountain didn't return to the mountain. Instead, he's heading toward the capital.”
" Yes." Lu Chen nodded and muttered," I'm afraid that he has already seen through the scheme behind the Heaven List and wants to find the mastermind."”
Moreover, the old heavenly master was poisoned by the demon seed and did not have much time left. He would definitely do things without any scruples.
Coming straight to the capital was clearly saying that he was here to settle scores with them.
Cao Zhengqin bowed." Your Majesty, I'm afraid this person won't live for many days. We can just ignore him."”
It would take a day or two for a grandmaster to travel from Youzhou to the capital, even if he had the exaggerated leg strength of a grandmaster.
It was still unknown whether he could make it to the capital alive.
" No, when the time comes, I will personally go and see him."Second in the world, your reputation isn't small.”
It was his plan to nibble away at the martial world step by step.
Every grandmaster on the Heaven Roll could bring a lot of prestige to the imperial court.
It was also the best opportunity to improve Great Wei's luck.
......
On the official road, horses galloped.
The strange thing was that these people riding horses could not catch up to a person walking on foot.
The old heavenly master was dressed in a daoist robe, and his sleeves fluttered in the wind. With every step he took, he could advance a large distance.
"Cough cough."
He coughed lightly. His expression was still calm, but there was a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.
"I'm really old. Unfortunately, I still haven't broken through.”
"Forget it, forget it. I'm afraid this is the end of my life."
No one knew that he was about to die.
Therefore, he did not care about the Demonic Emperor's demonic seed at all and directly endured it.
Anyway, he wouldn't let him die earlier.
He was someone who had experienced the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.
After living for so many years, if he didn't die, he would be scolded as a thief.
"There's one last thing." The old heavenly master looked up at the distant sky with an indifferent expression.
"I can't die before it's done."
The leg strength of a grandmaster was even faster than the thousand-mile chasing horse that was highly sought after in the desert.
Youzhou was 3,000 miles away from the capital, but with the Celestial Master's full speed, the capital was within sight in just a day.
" That's..." The old heavenly master stopped and looked into the distance.
At a lake not far from the city gates of the capital.
The golden imperial tent stretched across the river, and the dragon carriage stopped. A young man in a yellow robe sat on a recliner by the lake, holding a fishing rod in his hand.
Behind the young man were two old eunuchs.
The guards of the East Hall and the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa were patrolling the area within a ten-mile radius with murderous auras.
" Emperor of the Wei Dynasty." The old heavenly master's gaze flickered as he walked towards the lake.
"Who are you?" The surrounding guards quickly discovered this uninvited guest, and swords that gleamed with a cold light flashed in their hands.
"This is the emperor's carriage. No one is allowed to approach!”
At the lakeside, Lu Chen heard the commotion and turned around.""You came quite quickly."
"A peak-stage Zongshi realm expert. Your Majesty, do you want to leave?”Cao Zhengqin said respectfully.
" There's no need. If the two of you were here, I would still be in trouble. Wouldn't that be a joke?" Lu Chen smiled and waved his hand.
Cao Zhengqin smiled humbly." Haha, I'm nothing. With Eunuch Yi around, no one in this world can hurt Your Majesty."”
Not far away, the old heavenly master seemed to have entered an uninhabited realm.
The guards were tossed aside like scarecrows.
Even Wei Zhong and Wei Xian, the two deputy supervisors of the East Military Hall, were forced to retreat while vomiting blood.
One breath of inner Qi for a hundred years had forcefully created an 'invincible'.
"Halt."
A similarly withered hand blocked his path.
Dressed in plain official robes, the unremarkable old eunuch Yi Kui stood in front with his head lowered.
Finally, the old heavenly master stopped.
