Mu Wanqing said earnestly, "We came to this Fragmented Continent to gain experience, but the immortal energy here is thin, making cultivation difficult! I originally wanted you to use this time to experience the mortal world, but I've noticed you've become somewhat lax in your cultivation these past two years! Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, I've seen you spend your days reviewing memorials and going to the harem for entertainment after the morning court session! It's not that I'm jealous, but this kind of self-indulgence will ruin your future!"
Lin Caogen hugged Mu Wanqing tightly and said, "Senior Sister, don't worry! The Ming Dynasty is gradually getting back on track! I plan to hand over the affairs of the court to others! Next, I will focus on improving my cultivation! I will definitely reach the Immortal Saint level and then go to the Mu family to propose marriage! I swear!"
Mu Wanqing sighed and said, "You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself! Let's take it one step at a time! Even if you really can't become an Immortal Saint, so what! At worst, we can just go far away! The world is so big, surely there's a place for us to go?"
Hearing this, Lin Caogen was deeply moved!
He then said, “Senior Sister! Actually, I had my own selfish reasons for unifying the Sea Clan and the Forest Clan and establishing the Great Ming Dynasty! Now the Great Ming Dynasty is gradually stabilizing, and there are nearly 158 civil and military officials with Core Formation cultivation in the court. This force is several times stronger than when the Demonic Sect attacked our Wuwu Sect! In particular, there are dozens of Core Formation stage experts at the seventh, eighth, or ninth star among these 158 Core Formation stage cultivators! This force should not be underestimated.”
Mu Wanqing shook her head and said, "In the Third Ring Continent, your strength is indeed very strong, enough to sweep through two or three sects! But in the Second Ring Continent, it's simply not enough! The weakest disciples in the Second Ring Continent are basically all at the Core Formation stage. Nascent Soul stage disciples are just ordinary inner disciples! Even the weakest sect in the Second Ring Continent has nearly a thousand Core Formation stage disciples. If your Great Ming Dynasty wants to compete for a place in the Second Ring Continent, it will be completely annihilated in less than half a day!"
"Senior Sister! Actually, I have another purpose in establishing this Ming Dynasty!"
Mu Wanqing was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "Oh? Tell me about it? Could it be that it's not to satisfy your private desire to play with the harem as an emperor?"
Lin Caogen smiled wryly, "How can you look at me like that, Senior Sister! Am I the kind of person who craves pleasure? Actually, the first day we arrived at this Fragmented Continent was January 10th, the day of the Heavenly Tribulation! I noticed that the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Peak suddenly appeared in the sky, and I guessed that it must be a barrier hidden in the clouds! It's just that the barrier is malfunctioning, and every year it will periodically reveal what's inside the barrier! That palace must be hidden inside the barrier!"
Mu Wanqing suddenly realized and said, "Could it be that you want to go to the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top to seek your fortune!"
"That's right!"
Lin Caogen nodded solemnly and said, "I heard from Meiniang that her father tried to enter that barrier on January 10th, the day of the heavenly punishment, to explore the opportunities within that palace. However, he was blocked by the barrier and couldn't get in at all! I suspect that the barrier must be malfunctioning. January 10th is the time when the barrier is at its weakest every year. If we can gather the power of 158 Core Formation stage cultivators, plus you and Senior Brother Fang, a total of 160 Core Formation stage cultivators, a combined attack would surely be comparable to a Nascent Soul stage expert! Perhaps we can break a hole in the barrier on January 10th, so we can enter the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace!"
Mu Wanqing slowly said, "It seems I misunderstood you before! It turns out you've been plotting this all along! Now that you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in charge of all the people, you can indeed mobilize everyone for your own use! However, even if the barrier is opened, it will still be fraught with danger for you to enter alone, or for me and your Senior Brother Fang to accompany you! Even if you can go in, who knows if you can come out? It's an unknown area, and I really dare not let you take the risk!"
“Senior sister! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! If I were timid and hesitant, how could I achieve great things! You are from the Mu family of Zhongzhou, and there must be a Saint-level expert in your family! If my cultivation is too weak, how could I possibly enter the Mu family? Even if I become a Saint, without the strength of a mid-to-late stage Saint, I would still find it difficult to marry you! For you, I am willing to take the risk!”
I've been with Mu Wanqing for almost three years now!
Lin Caogen felt that this senior sister's feelings for him were gentle and tender, unlike her coldness towards others!
Humans have hearts, and for this aloof and beautiful senior sister, even the risks are worth it!
Mu Wanqing nestled against Lin Caogen's chest and said, "Okay! Even if I die, I'll go with you! Actually, this Fragmented Continent isn't so bad! Carefree! Sigh!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Senior Sister! Actually, although my cultivation hasn't improved much in the past two years, and my strength has remained at the peak of the 7th level of Body Refinement, I have a surprise to tell you!"
Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "What other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Then you'd better keep your eyes wide open!"
Mu Wanqing couldn't help but ask curiously, "What surprise is it? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Lin Caogen smiled, then suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate by drawing qi into his body!
Mu Wanqing was stunned, not understanding what kind of surprise this was!
However, the next second, a strange phenomenon occurred!
All that could be seen was the celestial energy between heaven and earth condensing into a water line one millimeter in diameter, which surged into Lin Caogen's body!
"This! How is this possible? The immortal energy here is so thin, yet my junior brother's body seems to have a tremendous attraction! The primordial energy of heaven and earth turns into water lines, and the immortal energy liquefies into immortal liquid! What kind of physique can achieve such a terrifying absorption?"
Just then, Lin Caogen's body began to change quietly, and nine red root veins began to appear on his back!
Mu Wanqing was so shocked she almost fainted!
"This! This is impossible! Nine Heavenly Rank Immortal Roots!!! Even the current Immortal Emperor, who uses tenth-rank pills to transform himself, doesn't have nine Heavenly Rank Immortal Roots! How could Junior Brother have nine Heavenly Rank Immortal Roots!"
