The next night, Chu Yurong took a deep breath and used his divine sense to check his body. He had been stuck at the Eleventh Level of Spirit Enhancement for a long time. He slowly circulated his cultivation technique to see why he had been stuck for so long.
After two cycles, Chu Yurong had a look of disbelief.
"There must be a problem. I don't believe that I can't find it.”
He took out a spirit stone and absorbed the spiritual energy. His divine sense followed the spiritual energy in his body and examined it step by step.
After an hour, Chu Yurong was surprised to find that the spiritual energy would cancel out by itself, especially when it reached the central position. If it wasn't for the divine sense, it would be difficult to detect the change.
"No wonder so many disciples are stuck at the eleventh level of spirit enhancement. I'm sure many of you are in the same situation as me.”
Chu Yurong thought for a long time and thought of three ways:
The first method was to use a life-bound dharma treasure. The life-bound dharma treasure could fuse with the body's characteristics and suppress it at the central position. This method was simple, crude, and practical. However, he didn't have that many magic treasures now. Even if he did, he couldn't fuse the magic treasures into his body. If his master was still alive, he might be able to help him.
Chu Yurong shook her head and considered the second option. If she cultivated the Xuanrong Divine Power at all the central locations, she would definitely be able to resolve the spiritual energy offset at the central locations. That was because the meridians in the center of his palms hadn't shown any signs of counteracting the effects. However, he had been practicing for so long that the Profound Fusion divine ability in his palms was only beginning to take shape. If every meridian in his palms was like this, who knew when he would be able to break through to the Eleventh Level of Spirit Enhancement. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he couldn't just go about doing it alone.
The third possibility was that Chu Yurong had seen a senior mighty figure explain the theory of the two extremes of Yin and Yang. This senior had described everything as having two extremes. Chu Yurong guessed that the spiritual energy in the body also had two extremes, which was why they canceled each other out. As long as all the spiritual energy in the body was converted to one of the extremes, all the spiritual energy could coexist and increase the spiritual energy, allowing one to break through to the Eleventh Level of Spirit Enhancement. However, the prerequisite was that one could sense the two extremes of spiritual energy.
After thinking it through, Chu Yurong used her divine sense to check her own spiritual energy. From a spiritual energy light spot, it continued to refine and refine…
Suddenly, Chu Yurong understood that the offset was not a real offset. The offset was because the spiritual energy fused and became more abundant spiritual energy. The reason why her realm stagnated was because the speed of the offset was slow. Only by accelerating the offset and fusing faster would her cultivation increase. Many people thought that wasting spirit stones would prevent the spiritual power from being offset, and it would be difficult for them to advance further in their lives.
He had discovered all of this by relying on that little bit of condensed Soul Consciousness.
Chu Yurong immediately circulated her cultivation technique and rearranged the two spiritual energies in her body while absorbing the spirit stones.
Just as Chu Yurong was extremely excited, the imperial city thousands of miles away was not calm.
" Master, Master…" A butler was calling out softly from outside a room.
"What's the matter? Don't you know that this king is already asleep?”
"There's news from the palace…"
A man with a full beard immediately sat up from the bed. He was about 60 years old and said in an unusually serious tone,
"Come in and talk!"
" Old Master, there's news from the palace. The Emperor has fainted three times and has been muttering. I'm afraid he won't be able to make it through tonight…"
"Oh, immediately inform Lieutenant Zhao to seal the palace doors. I must be the first to enter the palace.”
In less than an hour, the prince arrived at the Emperor's bedroom.
"King Huaiyang greets Your Majesty!"
"…You came just in time. I can't take it anymore.”
At this moment, an old man in his seventies was lying on the dragon bed. His face was pale and he was extremely weak.
"Imperial Brother will definitely be able to get through this and call the Imperial Physician over!”The king ordered a eunuch standing beside the dragon bed.
"There's no need…I know my own body.”
The Emperor panted heavily. He took out an imperial edict from under his blanket and was about to hand it to the eunuch beside him. Just as the eunuch was about to accept it, the prince hurriedly stepped forward to hold the imperial edict and pressed down on the emperor's hand.
"Royal brother, take good care of your illness. Don't worry about the political affairs. I will definitely arrange everything properly…"
The Emperor's face was flushed red as he stared at the prince in front of the bed. He grabbed the yellow blanket tightly and wanted to push the prince's hand away. Suddenly, the Emperor could not resist. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and his body went limp.
" Imperial Brother…" The prince shouted loudly. He turned around and stared at the eunuch beside him. The eunuch looked panicked and shouted in pain,"
"His Majesty has passed away…"
The King stuffed the Emperor's edict into his sleeve and then took out a scroll from another sleeve.
Five days later, Chu Yurong walked out of her room. She took a deep breath, and spiritual energy surged around her. She had already reached the peak of the Eleventh Level Spirit Enhancement Realm.
"Are you also a new guard?" A man in his twenties suddenly appeared outside the door.
"Yes."
"I don't care what method you use to make father keep you in the residence, but you'd better be careful!”After saying that, he walked past Chu Yurong.
Chu Yurong understood that this must be one of the young masters of the He residence. She was a little puzzled. He returned to his room and closed the door. After a while, He Chong came to pay his respects.
"Immortal Master, the City Lord has summoned me to the meeting.”
"Can you go to the City Lord's Council too? I wonder what position the He family's head holds?”
"I am not talented, but I am in charge of the state's financial accounts. I can be considered a trusted aide of the city lord.”
"Alright, I'll go with you.”
Chu Yurong then instructed Long Jiang and the other five to protect the residence and followed He Chong to the City Lord's residence.
Two hours later, Chu Yurong was waiting in a courtyard of the City Lord's Estate. In the council hall, there were four officials sitting on both sides, and He Chong was among them. An old man sat in the middle. He wore a jade crown and had a cold appearance. His sixty-year-old face seemed a little lonely. He was the city lord of Huo Prefecture City.
"Today, I have summoned all of you here for something important. There is news from the Imperial City that His Majesty has passed away three days ago.”
"Ah…"
Everyone present had different expressions, but a few of them did not seem surprised. The City Lord looked at everyone and continued,
"I have followed His Majesty all my life. Now, His Majesty has passed down the edict to the Eighth Prince. Before the Eighth Prince ascends the throne, I hope that everyone will work together to maintain the peace of Huo Zhou and prevent a rebellion.”
"What? The Saint Emperor is going to pass the throne to the Eighth Prince! What about the Crown Prince?" A well-built middle-aged man who was sitting next to the City Lord almost stood up in surprise. It was Li Duwei, who was in charge of the city's security.
At this moment, the City Lord's lonely expression changed and he said solemnly,
"That's right. Since His Majesty has issued a posthumous edict, our Huo Zhou will abide by it. As for the Crown Prince, I believe His Majesty has already made arrangements. Li Duwei, immediately implement a curfew and patrol strictly.”
"Honorable order!"
Li Duwei stood up and bowed before sitting down with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Commandant Huang, lead 500 cavalrymen to the east of the city and station at Black Tiger Mountain. We are afraid that the surrounding forces will be restless.”
"Honorable order!"
A man in armor stood up and bowed. This Commandant Huang was in charge of the army and was also a valiant general under the City Lord.
"A few days ago, His Highness sent someone to give me a big gift. I'm afraid there's a change in the Imperial City. Governor Chen, take a thousand infantry and station at the entrance of Yan Mountain in the south of the city to prevent any surprise attacks from other provinces.”
"Honorable order."
A man with a mustache stood up and bowed. Governor Chen had always been the City Lord's most important strategist.
"He Chong, help everyone to allocate silver and raise rations.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Bai Jin, pay attention to the news from the various prefectures at all times. Prepare a letter to pass to the Eighth Prince. Huo Prefecture City will fully support the Eighth Prince's ascension. Also, organize the state funeral and order the subordinate counties to behave themselves!”
"Yes…"
Chu Yurong stayed in the accounting room for a whole day. She only returned to the He residence when it was dark and did not ask a single question.
The next morning, before dawn, Chu Yurong heard the noise of the soldiers.
After a while, He Chong came in a hurry.
"Immortal Master, bad news! The City Lord has been assassinated! Right now, the deputy city lord was sending troops to search for assassins in the city.”He Chong looked uneasy.
