Qu Yuanxiang wrinkled his wine-sodden nose, "That's true, and once we reach the Eastern Continent, no matter what, I'm considered an Immortal and no longer bound by the sect's restrictions.
"I can do whatever I want!
"That's indeed a delightful thing!"
"Don't just focus on pleasure."
Wang Jun said, "We must prioritize the important tasks of our sect! Not only us, but after the seal loosens, other sects will also gradually enter the Eastern Continent. Whoever controls the land first will own the Spirit Veins discovered there. We must hurry!"
With a drunken mirth, Qu Yuanxiang said, "However, I heard that the Emperor of Sheng Country even has connections with the Elder, telling us to treat him with respect. I really don't know, what's there to respect about a mundane emperor."
"He's about to reach Foundation Establishment."
Wang Jun replied, "He's not inferior to you or me."
"What? Someone in this wretched place can reach Foundation Establishment?"
As the two conversed,
The Spirit Boat had already sailed out of the heavy fog.
With a wave of his hand, Wang Jun stowed the Spirit Boat into his sleeve, and then the two soared into the sky, speeding past Nan Xu, flying towards Dasheng.
Emperor Longqing sat atop a cushion, fingers forming seals, circulating his Spiritual Power, expelling the Evil Qi from his body.
Although it was only a slight contamination,
It required a great deal of effort.
Only at dusk one day did he finally pause, "Come in."
Huang Hong had been waiting outside the palace for many days.
The voice of Emperor Longqing seemed to arise from an abyss, "By dates, Chen Sansi and his family should also be arriving soon."
Huang Hong bowed and said, "Chen Sansi is still in Liangzhou."
"Still in Liangzhou?"
Emperor Longqing emphasized elongated, "What, does he intend to disobey again?"
Huang Hong replied, "Chen Sansi said he wants to observe three years of mourning in Liangzhou and even cited the Military Immortal Yu Shanggong as an example..."
"Mist shrouds cold water; the moon envelops the sand, mooring by the desolate mount near dwellings at night."
Emperor Longqing murmured, "The fog is thick, unwilling to reveal its true form, there are ghosts in his heart."
Huang Hong said, "What should your servant arrange next?"
"Issue an order to Liangzhou, summon him to the Capital City to appear before me."
After giving his instructions, Emperor Longqing set aside the matter and asked, "What day is it?"
"To reply Your Majesty's question,"
After confirming seriously, Huang Hong answered, "The twenty-ninth of the first month."
Emperor Longqing commanded, "You go arrange for them to come to the Longevity Palace to see me."
"Your servant understands."
Huang Hong bowed and left.
Shortly after, he returned.
Emperor Longqing, behind the curtain, remained silent, quietly waiting for him to speak.
Huang Hong respectfully said, "Your servant deserves death. These days your servant has been outside protecting the law, and some news was missed. According to the messages delivered subsequently, Chen Sansi did not come to Liangzhou, but Fang Qingyun did, and it is said he came bearing Cultivation Techniques superior to that of Martial Saint and the secrets of the Heavenly Book Array, now settled within the Capital City."
"Bring him to see me."
Twelfth Prince Cao Zhi, escorting Fang Qingyun, arrived in the hall.
"When your master passed away, I was in seclusion; otherwise, I would have definitely attended the mourning in person. I hope you will contain your sorrow and accept this change," he continued, his voice deepening, "However, Fang Qingyun, I did not decree for you to come to the Capital City."
"Cough cough cough..."
Fang Qingyun softly coughed twice: "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me; the matter is of great importance, and your servant could not trust others to handle it."
As he spoke, he took out a book and a talisman from his bosom.
After Huang Hong inspected them, he handed them beyond the curtain.
Soon after, the sound of pages turning arose.
"The Cultivation Technique dreamt of by all practitioners of martial arts."
"It turns out that to step into the True Power Realm, it's not only about Spiritual Energy and Cultivation Technique, but also about heavenly and earthly treasures."
Emperor Longqing seemed to be making small talk, casually asking, "Is this what Sun Xiangzong instructed you to bring to me? Hehe, after all, he is my old brother, the Duke of England of the Great Sheng Dynasty, even passed away, he still thought about the good of the society."
As his words of reminiscence flowed, his dragon eyes, through the curtain, were fixed on the blurred figure of the Green Robed Scholar in the wheelchair, the imperial majesty emitting unintentionally in waves.
About a few moments later.
"My teacher was very stubborn; he only passed this Cultivation Technique to my junior brother and probably specifically instructed him not to share it with the court, let alone with the Imperial Family."
Fang Qingyun spoke in a lower tone, "My saying this, Your Majesty, might you be displeased?"
He essentially told the emperor outright that Sun Xiangzong was opposing the court until his death.
But from behind the curtain.
The pressure tinged with anger gradually dissipated, along with the emperor's dragon eyes dimming, his tone becoming much calmer, merely sighing faintly: "Hehe, the man has passed."
"While Zizhan was alive, I never blamed him, now that he rests below the soil, naturally, I will not hold it against him."
"But since Sun Xiangzong only passed the Cultivation Technique to Chen Sansi and no one else, how did you come to possess it, and why did you bring it to the Capital City, to my hands?"
"It's a shame to say."
Fang Qingyun forced a smile: "It was I who deceived my junior brother, exploiting his trust in me to 'have a look' at the True Power Realm Cultivation Technique, then took the opportunity to copy it down, so this set of techniques is merely a copied version."
"Regarding that talisman, it corresponds to the Heavenly Book Array; upon arranging the formation, you only need to activate the Array talisman to move heavenly phenomena and unleash the true power of the formation."
"There are a total of five talismans."
