Seeing the deadlock, Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth and said: Today we only drink, and are not talking about national affairs, it would be better for second brother to sit down and drink.
The two of them sat down again, but Zhao Guangyi was still anxious. Seeing Zhao Kuangyin drink the wine, he calmed down a little. He thought to himself, “After drinking the venomous wine, no matter how high your martial arts are, you will still die.”
If it was before Zhao Kuangyin had awakened, this cup of poisonous wine would have taken his life, but now, it was merely getting a stomachache.
After drinking three cups of wine, Zhao Kuangyin shouted loudly: “Where is Wang Jiexi?
Shangguan family, old servant is here. When Wang Jien heard the shout, he rushed into the palace and kneeled on the ground.
Zhao Kuangyin said with a stern expression: Wang Jiexi, a few days ago at the Royal Tomb, did you hear what Great Deity had to say?
Wang Jien trembled and quickly kowtowed and said, “Shangguan family. The old servant is getting older and has poor hearing. I don’t know what the Guan family is asking about.”
You old thing, play dumb with me. Great Deity said that if anything strange happens today, I will give up my life. I can live another twelve years if the weather is clear. Tonight has not passed yet. If anything happens to me, I can pass down the decree that light is the key to power. No one else is allowed to interfere.
Hearing this, Jiang Chu couldn’t help but shake his head, with a flash, he had already left the great hall, and arrived at the top of the mountain. Jiang Chu consecutively threw out five Divine Lightning Talisman and the sky was instantly filled with thunder. Jiang Chu once again raised his hand and shot out two True Fire Of Sanmo talismans.
Jiang Chu did not stop to rest. Raising his hand, he released over ten profound ice talismans, followed by a few more Divine Lightning Talisman s, and the entire sky above the imperial palace began to crackle with noise. Egg-sized hailstones dropped from the sky, and soon after, snowflakes began to float.
In the palace, Zhao Kuangyin felt a sharp pain in his stomach, he instantly understood what happened. Without realizing it, he thought to himself, “Virtue is righteousness, I have decided to pass it on to you. Why must you be so anxious? You poisoned me to kill me.”
Hearing the strange scene outside, Zhao Kuangyin walked out of the hall with heavy steps. He angrily smashed his jade axe into the snow, supported his hand on the hall pillar and shouted: “Good, good.”
Other than Zhao Kuangyin himself, no one understood the meaning behind his words. He was angry at Zhao Guangyi for his lack of affection, and resented himself for being merciful and soft-hearted.
Since things had come to this, he might as well swallow his anger and disappear. Or he could kill Zhao Guangyi and resolve the hatred in his heart. However, they had killed Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Guangmei. Old Zhao San was also coveting the throne, so how could he kill all his brothers?
Forget it, forget it, let me make the mistake. I will just hide myself here, focus on cultivation, and increase my Celestial Realm. This matter of the mortal world has nothing to do with me anymore.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin said: It’s easy. Easy. The first is that the good thing that you, Zhao Guangyi, have done, for the sake of the throne killing your brother, what else do you not have to do? The second is, since you’ve done it, do it well and don’t mislead the people.
Zhao Kuangyin and Jiang Chu had already agreed in advance that regardless of whether or not Zhao Guangyi agreed to accept the throne, he would feign his death tonight and leave this place in accordance to the law.
This was because at the entrance of the imperial tomb, Jiang Chu, the Great Deity, had personally said that if the Emperor was born with an abnormal phenomenon, he had to prepare for future events. He didn’t know how long he would have to wait if he missed this opportunity.
The ruler of a nation could not disappear silently, as that would bring an unerasable blow to the great Song Dynasty.
After Zhao Guangyi left, Zhao Kuangyin said to Jiang Chu with tears in his eyes: “Kind brother, I didn’t think that this blood brother of mine would actually want to poison me to death. How can I not feel cold?”
Jiang Chu laughed bitterly and said: “Big brother, since things have come to this, we can only play it by ear. There was my prophecy before, and today’s natural phenomenon is a great opportunity for us to leave.”
Zhao Kuangyin’s eyes regained the color of resolution, and he said: “Little brother, I’ll leave everything to you.”
Jiang Chu flipped his hand and took out a puppet. He placed it on the bed and started chanting: The Great Way of the Heavens and Earth. Everything has a spirit.
After chanting the incantations, he used his hand to hit the puppet, and the puppet immediately grew in size, looking exactly the same as Zhao Kuangyin. However, his body was stiff and lifeless. Jiang Chu used the Soul Controlling Talisman and hit the puppet’s body, causing it to instantly snore loudly.
Jiang Chu and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other, then disappeared with a flash.
On the official road 500 li west of Bianjing City, Jiang Chu and Zhao Kuangyin rode their horses as they galloped. Maybe it would be more accurate to call him Chi Longzi now. In the hearts of the people, the founding emperor of the Great Song, Zhao Kuangyin, had passed away.
Along the way, they saw many soldiers escorting carriages to Bijing, probably to attend the national funeral to mourn Zhao Kuangyin. Who would have thought that the real Zhao Kuangyin had just brushed past them?
Jiang Chu and Chi Longzi were rushing to the Mount Kunlun, where Chi Longzi was cultivating in his previous life in the mortal world. There were many pills and treasures sealed by Chi Longzi.
The Yong Chang mausoleum was still under construction, and Zhao Kuangyin would need six to seven months to be buried, so he could use this time to go to Karakorum Savant.
Although Chi Longzi had already recovered his immortal’s memories, his strength was not even at 10% of his peak state, and was unable to soar. If he wanted to consume a large amount of Ling Dan s to raise his cultivation, he would have to borrow strength to resist the Lightning Tribulation s.
That day, the two came to live in Chang An City, Chi Longzi lamented: Chang An City is the position of the Dragon Eye of the dragonpulse in Qin Mountains, it is a pity that all of the previous dynasties built the capital here, it already consumed too much of the dragonpulse’s Qi, currently it is insufficient to support a country’s prosperity.
Jiang Chu was puzzled: “Big brother, could it be that the dragonpulse’s energy will be slowly depleted?”
Naturally, everything in the world, all the living creatures, mountains and rivers, all had their limits. Even the great ancient gods of the ninth heaven had their endings. However, that would be something far away. They also needed to continuously increase their cultivation and continuously consume the Ling Dan’s miraculous medicine. Only the heavenly and earthly treasures would be able to prolong their lives. Once the end came, he would only be able to reincarnate and train once more.
Brother, why is the earth’s spiritual energy getting thinner and thinner?
First of all, you have to understand that all of the Earth’s spiritual energy comes from three sources, one from the spiritual water, which is the Four Seas. The second aspect was the Pangu’s true body, which was the Earth Dragon’s vein and the water dragonpulse. The third and most important aspect was the Earth Crystals. The Earth Crystals were refined from the top quality Spirit Stone s of the Celestial Realm. Only with a hundred million top grade Spirit Stone s could it be refined into an Earth Crystal. In Celestial Realm, a relatively wealthy Heavenly Immortal cultivator would at most possess a hundred top-grade Spirit Stone. Not to mention Earthly Immortals and Worldly Immortals. The spiritual energy contained within an Earth crystal could allow an Earthly Immortal to become a Celestial Immortal. Before I was demoted to the mortal realm, even if I was in the Heavenly Immortal Stage, I would only have eighty to ninety top-grade Spirit Stone. The first reason why the spirit energy was so sparse was because the cultivators on Earth were constantly absorbing the spirit energy from the Plane. If that was the case, then he would have to take away a portion of the spiritual energy, which was the same as completely consuming energy. The second reason was because Ying Zheng had dug out the dragonpulse, thus preventing the Grand Canal’s west side from receiving the Spiritual Qi of the sea. This was also the reason why the Spiritual Qi was becoming thinner the further west they went. In a few hundred years, the dragonpulse’s spirit energy would be completely used up, and it would be unable to endure the luck of a country.
I heard from a senior that after immortals who ascend from Earth are killed in body and soul, their spiritual energy will be transferred back to Earth, is that true?
This was true, there were too many planets in the universe. Everyone who died, regardless of which Plane they were on, would be forced to feed back the spirit energy that dispersed to the initial planet.
Big brother, where is the Earth Crystal you spoke of? How come I’ve never heard of it?
No one knew where it was. It could be in the center of the earth, or inside a mountain, or in the ocean. No one knew.
Jiang Chu suddenly thought of the changes that the Phoenix Gall underwent after absorbing the Night Pearl, and asked: “Does big brother know what the Earth Crystal looks like?”
I heard from Master that the Earth Crystal was refined by the Supreme Martial Uncle. It is round in shape, dark green in color, and half transparent.
After listening to Chi Longzi’s narration, Jiang Chu couldn’t help but be shocked. Could it be that the Night Pearl was the Earth Crystal? No wonder it was so strange, all the Night Pearls in the world were like stones, only that piece, like jade, was translucent. It turned out it wasn’t a Night Pearl at all, but an Earth Crystal.
However, he didn’t plan to study this issue with Chi Longzi, so it would be better to keep it a secret. Without sufficient strength, it was not a small number of people who were killed for having a treasure. He was not foolish enough to test the reliability of the brotherly relationship between him and Chi Longzi with the gem.
