" The true dragon and son of heaven are ordered by the heavens."
He crushed the jade slip. Instantly, a voice that sounded like a great bell exploded in his mind.
Then, a majestic figure seemed to have crossed the ages.
Zhao Zheng closed his eyes to meditate, and half a day passed.
Finally, he comprehended all of it.
"I didn't expect that this 'True Dragon Emperor Codex' was actually a fifth-grade cultivation technique!”
He muttered, still somewhat shocked.
Fifth-grade cultivation techniques belonged to the level that pointed directly to the Great Dao of Heaven.
In the entire Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, there were only a few of them.
Emperor Shiyuan's secret technique, the Supreme Emperor Art, was also at this level.
It was kept in the palace and passed down from generation to generation. Only the current emperor had the right to come into contact with it and cultivate it.
And he had obtained such a top-notch cultivation technique in one check-in.
Thinking of this, he became more and more confident in his future.
........
White colts are easy to pass, time flies.
Soon, another month passed.
During this one month, Zhao Zheng signed in at the end of the corridor on the second floor every day, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
Now, he was already at the ninth level of the Essence Cultivating Stage and was only a step away from perfection.
"Ang!"
He slowly focused, and a dragon's roar exploded in his body. In the next moment, a Golden Luck Dragon coiled around his body like a protective spiritual item, looking majestic.
? With the Golden Luck Dragon, Zhao Zheng's battle prowess doubled in a short period of time.
This was the mystical power of the True Dragon Emperor Codex when it was cultivated to the great success stage.
"However, summoning the Golden Luck Dragon consumes too much of one's True Qi and can't be sustained.”
Zhao Zheng thought as he felt the True Qi in his body rapidly depleting.
But even so, it also gave Zhao Zheng a life-saving trump card.
"With the protection of the Golden Luck Dragon and my current cultivation, I should be able to withstand the pressure of the demons. I should be able to sign in before the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting on the second level.”
Zhao Zheng thought to himself, he was already eager to try.
"Time to eat!"
The Dragon Breaking Stage opened, and the Imperial Army guards brought Zhao Zheng food on time.
Zhao Zheng silently took the lunch box and began to eat.
This month, his sister Zhao Qing came to visit him every ten days.
Through her, Zhao Zheng also learned about the changes in the outside world.
The Third Prince, Zhao Fuhu, had openly challenged the acting eunuch, Liu Jin, in the court recently. The officials had responded like the clouds.
The First Prince would probably be able to return to the capital within ten days.
According to the intelligence, he was not alone. The ones who had followed the First Prince back to the capital were the entire Mobei Army, which had been guarding the border all year round, and the number one general of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, An Shanyue.
Zhao Zheng estimated that in these few days, the Third Prince would make a move.
Otherwise, when the First Prince returned to the capital with his army, it would be easy for trouble to arise.
"Who knows, in a few days, I'll have another cellmate.”
He shook his head.
He was not optimistic about the Third Prince's chances of seizing the throne.
Even though he had the support of many courtiers, in the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, the true pillars that could tear the sky apart were the National Guardian Legion, the Great Eunuch Liu Jin, and the Peerless General An Shanyue.
If the First Prince had the support of An Shanyue, he would have a chance of winning against Liu Jin.
At this moment, the Third Prince was ready to move. He was only seeking death.
"Let them fight for now. I'll continue to sign in and accumulate strength!”
After Zhao Zheng finished his meal, he wiped his mouth and did not think about what was going on outside.
"Stomp, stomp, stomp!"
He came to the second level of the Heavenly Prison again. This time, he did not stop at the end of the corridor.
Instead, he walked straight through the corridor and headed towards the center, where the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting was located.
"A living person."
"Let me out!"
"Roar!"
As he approached, the devils in the giant room roared even more crazily.
He was already immune to the restless howl.
At this moment, what made Zhao Zheng walk with difficulty was the pressure formed by the monstrous aura emitted by these devils.
This pressure made it difficult for him to move forward as if his feet were filled with lead.
"Golden Luck Dragon, appear!"
Zhao Zheng shouted in a low voice. Golden light covered the dark room as a golden dragon surrounded his body.
Instantly, he felt his body lighten.
The Golden Luck Dragon helped him offset most of the pressure. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Zheng quickly moved forward.
[Current location: Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, in front of the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting on the second level of the Heavenly Prison. It has been detected that this place contains Taoist Connotation. Do you want to sign in immediately?]」
"Sign in!"
[Congratulations to the host for signing in to the second level of the Heavenly Prison, the River-Mountain Painting, and obtaining the True Dragon Son of Heaven Sword.」
True Dragon Son of Heaven Sword!
The moment the system's voice sounded, a divine sword suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Zheng.
This sword is made of black iron. It is three feet two inches long and weighs eight catties and seven taels.
Its entire body was pale golden in color. On the sword hilt, there was a dragon's body that emitted a supreme imperial aura.
"A fifth-grade divine artifact!"
Zhao Zheng quickly learned all the information about this sword from the system information.
Combined with the True Dragon Emperor's Canon, its power multiplied!
This is a divine weapon specially prepared for me!
Zhao Zheng looked at the Emperor's Sword in front of him, his heart burning.
He slowly reached out and held it.
At this moment, the True Dragon Son of Heaven Sword exploded with dazzling golden light.
An emperor's aura broke through the Heavenly Prison and reached the Ninth Layer of Heaven.
........
At the same time, in the Imperial City, by the providence pool.
The Empress of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, Ge Qiuyi, was personally massaging the shoulders of a middle-aged man with her jade-like hands.
The middle-aged man was the teacher of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, Li Yu!
As the emperor's teacher, Li Yu felt that it was only natural for the empress to personally serve him.
He held a fishing rod in his hand and slowly fished in the providence pool that was filled with golden providence.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the providence pool shook.
The rich destiny of the mountains and rivers was rapidly drying up at this moment.
"What happened?"
The emperor's teacher was slightly startled and his expression changed.""How could the providence pool suddenly dry up?”
"Where did this luck go?" Golden flames danced in his eyes as he scanned the surroundings. Soon, he locked his gaze on the Heavenly Prison.
What happened in the Heavenly Prison? Why did it affect the fate of the world?
Could it be that the lowest seal had been broken?
With that thought, his expression darkened and he suddenly stood up.
"What happened?"
Empress Ge Qiuyi noticed something strange and asked.
"The pool of providence has dried up," the emperor's teacher said in a deep voice."There must be a problem with the Heavenly Prison!"
.........
Zhao Zheng held the True Dragon Son of Heaven Sword in his hand, and a strange feeling immediately arose in his heart.
It was as if the sword was connected to his soul.
"In the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, the only thing that can compare to a fifth-grade divine artifact is the Imperial Jade Seal!”
"With this sword in my hand, I can fight against Sea of Souls Realm warriors with my cultivation level!”
He played with the divine sword and thought to himself.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura swept across the sky.
"Not good. Someone seems to have discovered the commotion just now!”
Sensing this vast and powerful aura, Zhao Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he quickly fused the True Dragon Son of Heaven Sword into his body.
Then, he returned to the first level.
His actions didn't attract the emperor teacher's attention.
The place where the emperor's master's consciousness landed was at the lowest level of the Heavenly Prison.
There was a statue of the Martial Emperor made of black iron.
"There are no signs of breaking the seal."
The emperor teacher stared at this black and ancient statue that had no spirituality at all and frowned slightly.
"If it wasn't for the entire Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, who else would be able to control the Golden Pool of Providence and devour the providence of the world?”
After scanning the area with his spiritual sense, the emperor teacher returned empty-handed.
"How is it?"
The Empress asked softly beside him.
"There's nothing unusual. This old fellow's seal was personally set up by the seven elders of our Celestial Gate, and it's unbreakable.”
"But…If it wasn't for him, how could the Golden Pool of Kismet have dried up?”
The Emperor Master, who had always been expressionless, had a gloomy expression on his face.
The luck was formed from the luck of all the places in the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty that had gathered for a year. Now, it had dried up.
His idea of paying tribute to the immortal sect this year to obtain immortal pills was probably going to fail.
"It's good that the seal is unharmed. As long as that guy in the bottom of the prison hasn't awakened, it's a blessing.”
"As for when the luck is exhausted, we can slowly investigate and find clues.”
When Empress Ge Qingqiu heard that the seal had not been broken, she heaved a sigh of relief and comforted him.
"A clue. Could it be that Emperor Shiyuan, Zhao Shenglong, who was still in seclusion, had dried up the providence pool?”
" No, that's not right." The emperor's teacher's brows were still tightly furrowed." His aura is weak at the moment. Clearly, he hasn't broken through yet."”
"If one isn't at the Heavenly Arrival State, it's impossible for them to devour this luck.”
"Speaking of which, this Emperor Shi Yuan is really restless.”
"Since you're the ruler of a dynasty under my immortal sect, you should be an emperor and contribute the fate of the country.”
"Why must you go into seclusion to cultivate some ancestral secret technique?”
When the emperor's teacher thought of this, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
He could tell that Zhao Shenglong was not someone who would willingly submit to others.
"He has been in seclusion for more than seven years. He will come out in three years.”
"If he really mastered the ancestor's secret method, how should we deal with him?" the Empress asked.”
"If he still wants to do things as usual, then ignore him. If he wants to take back the Golden Pool of Providence, then kill him and create another one.”
The emperor's teacher closed his eyes and said these words in an extremely casual manner.
Killing the emperor and establishing a new emperor were earth-shattering actions, but in his eyes, they were just casual actions.
..........
Imperial City, Heavenly Prison.
In the next month, Zhao Zheng kept a low profile and did not summon the True Dragon Son of Heaven Sword again.
Earlier, when the emperor master's divine sense had probed the Heavenly Prison, he had felt a sense of danger.
He was still far from fully grown, so he could not expose himself.
"I'm at the peak of the Elemental Cultivation Stage!"
He sat cross-legged and felt the boundless zhenqi in his body. He was quite satisfied.
In this month, he had obtained many treasures. Although his aptitude was ordinary, he could not resist the mountain of spirit pills, which pushed him to the perfect realm.
"In the next half a month, I'll patiently train the true qi in my body, and then I'll be able to attempt to break through to the Spiritual Ocean Tier.”
"Advancing into the Spiritual Ocean Tier, my strength will soar again.”
Zhao Zheng was secretly looking forward to it.
In the next few days, he signed in step by step, cultivated, and condensed the true qi in his body to prepare for the upcoming breakthrough.
However, on the fifth day, the peaceful days were broken.
On this day, the Broken Dragon Stage opened.
He had a new cellmate!
