Impact on the eighth level?
Jiang Li was also stunned when she heard this. She had thought about it before.
In the past, emperors were not allowed to break through and reach the eighth level of the soul leaving the body, because they were suppressed by the eight gates of the Divine Palace.
The reasoning given by the Eight Gates of the Divine Palace was also quite righteous: if an emperor reached the eighth rank and his spirit left his body, he would be virtually immortal. Sitting on the throne for life, he would eventually become a tyrant.
But now, Lin Che is a member of the Eight Gates of the Divine Palace. With Lin Che mediating in the middle, it might really be worth a try.
But then, Jiang Li shook his head gently and stopped thinking about it.
"Lin Che, you're dreaming. If I choose to break through, all eight gates of the Divine Palace will become your enemy. Not only will that implicate the royal family, but it will also destroy you. I can't bear that."
This time, Jiang Li no longer used "I" to refer to himself, and it was clear that he wanted to open his heart again.
Lin Che, however, was unconcerned. "Right now, any one of the eight sects of the Divine Palace is no match for me. Don't be afraid. You protected me in the past, and from now on, I will protect you. No one can hurt you in the slightest!"
Jiang Li's palm trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to look at Lin Che's burning eyes.
"We can't take risks at this time."
There was one more thing she didn't say: her time was running out, so why bother dragging everyone down? Lin Che was a genius, and if he were given a little more time, he would surely surpass the Eight Gates of the Divine Palace.
By then, Lin Che would definitely be able to repel the extraterritorial demons and protect the human race.
But she couldn't see it.
Lin Che was not happy about this. He grabbed Jiang Li's hand and said in a deep voice:
"I told you I will protect you. What are you afraid of? Even as an emperor, you don't dare to fight against the Eight Gates of the Divine Palace. Do you still want others to fight against the Eight Gates of the Divine Palace? Today, you must break through to the eighth level!"
"What are you doing? Let go!" Jiang Li began to struggle again.
"No! I won't let go unless you promise me." Lin Che simply started to act tough.
Jiang Li couldn't break free, and with a blushing face, he ordered the knife slave beside him: "Hurry up and call the Shadow Guards to kick him out."
Lin Che's face darkened. "Dao Nu, you have nothing to do here. Get out!"
"Knife slave, call for help!"
"Knife slave, get out!!"
Dao Nu was about to collapse. He had never felt so torn.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, you always say that when it comes to matters of family and country, strength is always the truth. If you break through to the eighth rank, then our Da Gan's strength will reach a new level—Lin Che, don't go too far. Cultivation is not a joke. If your thoughts are not clear, how can you achieve a breakthrough? Forcing Your Majesty is a capital crime. Let go first. Let go!"
Lin Che felt that what Dao Nu said made some sense.
The eighth level, how can you break through just like that?
He was about to relax when he noticed Jiang Li's body trembling slightly, sweat beading on her forehead. A phoenix slowly formed behind her.
This phoenix form is very familiar.
"Okay, okay! I promise you, I promise you!"
Jiang Li agreed with a trembling voice.
After she agreed, she felt relaxed all over, as if a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Jiang Li gritted his teeth, broke free from Lin Che's hand, took a few steps back, and was sweating profusely.
Being so close, and holding her hands, the request made by Lin Che, the "master", was something that she, the "slave", could not refuse at all.
At this moment, Lin Che was also full of surprise. Why did it feel like Jiang Li was forced to agree?
This situation seems to have occurred before.
Could it be related to this "Phoenix Blood Pact"?
"Although I also want to break through, reaching the eighth rank is not that easy. Jiang Yanshu wanted to reach the eighth rank back then because he relied on the Human Emperor's legacy. If I also take this path, I'm afraid the Human Emperor's legacy will be extinguished."
Lin Che temporarily suppressed those strange thoughts and quickly took out a small bottle.
"This contains a special treasure from the Eight Gates of the Divine Palace. It contains the powerful power of seven gates. Take it now and see the effect."
The knife slave next to her subconsciously stepped forward to take it, and she wanted to try it herself.
But Lin Che waved her off: "How could I possibly harm her? Get out of here!"
"Oh..." Dao Nu retreated with a look of boredom on his face.
Jiang Li seemed to have accepted her fate, and she had no choice but to obey.
Without giving it any thought, he took the vial and opened it. It was actually half a vial of blood. And the blood was quite unusual. It practically flew out when he opened the lid.
"Just take it like this?"
"Well, I'll help you. Come on, open your mouth..."
"Ah..." Jiang Li raised her beautiful face, her eyes were charming, and she slowly opened her tender mouth.
Lin Che picked up the bottle of Qimen blood and poured it directly into Jiang Li's mouth.
Jiang Li was caught off guard and was choked.
"Don't spit it out, swallow it!"
Jiang Li frowned and felt a burning sensation in his mouth, which tasted strange.
But she also knew that this was a very tonic, so she closed her eyes and swallowed it directly.
"There's still a drop at the corner of your mouth." Lin Che reminded him again.
Jiang Li rolled up her little tongue and took in the last drop.
Buzz!!
After swallowing all the blood, she felt her internal organs burning, and the terrifying power rushed to her limbs and bones frantically.
She almost instinctively practiced the Great Emperor's Sutra and absorbed it crazily.
Before Jiang Li was born, her mother had already taken all kinds of tonics; as soon as she was born, the powerful Tianji people in the palace helped her to practice, cleansed her bones and marrow, and soaked her in medicinal baths day and night.
Since she was young, she has been practicing "The Great Emperor's Sutra" diligently.
She had all kinds of natural treasures at her disposal. Especially after she ascended the throne, with the powerful dragon energy in her body, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
To be honest, she had already reached the peak of the seventh level and was only one step away from the eighth level.
Now, after taking these seven bloods, she suddenly felt as if there were countless more roads in the dark, and she had insight into a wider world.
Especially her soul, which seemed to be about to fly out of her body and rush into the void at any time.
Could it be that she really had a glimpse of the eighth level?
"Dao Nu, take some people to guard outside!"
Lin Che no longer cared about that. He held the Haoran Demon-Suppressing Pen and waved it directly in the air, trying to completely block the aura of this world first.
He was not afraid of the Eight Gates of the Divine Palace. If someone who really didn't care about his life really came and tried to interrupt Jiang Li's breakthrough, he would regret it.
"Yes!" Dao Nu answered and took action immediately.
Lin Che stayed by Jiang Li's side, closely watching her every move.
But soon, he felt that there was something wrong with Jiang Li's aura.
"It's still too sudden. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through successfully!"
