Chu Huainan had been waiting for a long time in the Hall of Diligent Governance.
She and Yan Yuhuan usually kept to themselves and rarely went out, so they weren't very familiar with each other.
Although we have now gained the throne, there is still one last step to be taken: obtaining authorization from the Great Yong Dynasty.
The legitimacy of the Great Yong Dynasty's rule was established by your Great Yong Dynasty.
If the Dayong Dynasty does not recognize her, then she is a rebel.
As soon as the carriage came into view, Chu Huainan immediately went to greet it, "Madam Yan, I have long admired your name!"
Yan Yuhuan smiled and stepped down from the carriage.
She said seemingly casually, "The surname of the Empress Chu reminds me of the once mighty Chu state that dominated the Ze River region."
Chu Huainan smiled and flattered, "The Great Chu is a thing of the past; now it is the Great Yong that rules the world!"
Yan Yuhuan did not continue to probe, but changed the subject and asked, "I wonder what Empress Chu has summoned me for?"
"Yu Haiping colluded with demons and monsters to massacre the imperial family and kill loyal officials in the court."
The nation is now in imminent danger, and someone needs to step forward to turn the tide.
Huai Nan, though unworthy, is willing to serve as regent.
Chu Huainan looked intensely at Yan Yuhuan, his words filled with unwavering confidence.
What a shrewd man Chu Huainan is! Decisive and ruthless enough.
Many of the royals who were massacred were her descendants.
Yan Yuhuan retorted, "Why you?"
When she said those words, Huang Dalong, who was squatting in the corner of the Qin Zheng Hall like a quail, suddenly looked up.
The next second, he disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Yan Yuhuan.
The aura of a Golden Immortal expert burst forth in an instant.
"If it weren't for me, you would all be dead here today!"
Chu Huainan remained calm and took out a black knife.
When the black knife appeared, Huang Dalong's powerful aura was instantly shattered.
"Step back!"
Yan Yuhuan waved her hand, and Huang Dalong disappeared from the spot.
Chu Huainan yielded his seat and invited her into the main hall.
......
Does anyone know anything about the past of the Great Chu Dynasty?
Li Fan's voice echoed from within the cave.
In mid-air, Luo Yue hurriedly shouted, "I know, I know!"
Amidst the sea of blood, Luo Kong echoed, "I know too!"
Luo Yue stared at Luo Kong and roared at the top of her lungs, "Luo Kong, you bastard, shut up! Let me do the talking!"
Luo Kong wanted to refute, but he was also somewhat wary.
He was afraid that if he were to die and return to the source one day, he might be purged.
Luo Yue, that woman, is extremely vengeful.
"you say!"
These words were like a cool breeze in the sweltering heat, instantly lifting Luo Yue's previously listless spirits.
Not daring to hide anything, she quickly told everyone she knew.
"Why don't you cultivate together with him?"
......
The Great Chu Dynasty revered the divine bird, the phoenix.
The phoenix is a mythical bird that is on par with the dragon in legend.
The Phoenix Clan dwells atop the sacred Wutong tree.
According to Luo Yue's description, this hairpin seems to be related to the legendary Wutong tree.
The intense heat contained within the hairpin might very well be the flames of the divine phoenix.
If that's the case, it seems worth trying to see if we can improve the Five Elements Mountain.
Although this supernatural power still possesses considerable destructive power, it's basically reached its limit.
Previously, Li Fan was busy improving his cultivation level and didn't have time to study.
Now is the perfect opportunity to see if we can make a new breakthrough.
With that in mind, Li Fan took action.
He first summoned his external avatar, and then condensed a miniature version of the Five Elements Mountain within the external avatar's body.
Cover with the power of earth, and irrigate with the power of water.
The hairpin was like a bottomless pit, devouring both forces.
Before long, the power within the Five Elements Mountain became unbalanced.
Under Li Fan's manipulation, the fused power of the five elements was stripped away.
Soon, the power of earth and water was completely devoured.
After absorbing both of these powers, the hairpin seemed to still be somewhat unsatisfied.
The forces of fire and wood seemed to be drawn to the wooden hairpin, flowing towards it.
In the end, only the solitary power of metal remained in place.
Aside from becoming greener, the wooden hairpin doesn't seem to have changed much.
Li Fan reached out and grasped the wooden hairpin, unleashing his mental powers.
......
Boom—
A loud roar came from beside my ears.
I opened my eyes and saw thunder tearing the sky apart.
A torrential downpour poured down from the sky, crashing down relentlessly.
Li Fan instinctively wanted to dodge, but suddenly found that he couldn't move his body.
Not only could I not move my body, but I also felt as if I were opening my mouth to swallow the rainwater.
etc!
What is this?
When Li Fan scanned the area with his mind, he realized that he had turned into a weed.
The wild grass was lush and green, growing at a visible rate even in the torrential rain.
A mysterious symbol appeared in Li Fan's mind.
The twisted patterns resemble tree rings.
When this symbol appeared, Li Fan's consciousness was quickly pulled away.
The hairpin lying in her hand had lost some of its luster.
It... seems to be making a deal with me.
A thought suddenly popped into Li Fan's mind.
Does this thing have self-awareness?
If that's the case, then the hairpin's value is quite astonishing.
Lingbao is exclusive to beings at the Daluo level.
Some powerful spiritual treasures can even unleash the power of a Great Luo Immortal without the Great Luo Immortal controlling them.
Even though the hairpin is damaged, even though it has lost its power at its peak.
But Lingbao is Lingbao; it already possesses a temple at the Daluo level.
I've struck gold!
Even Li Fan couldn't help but smile.
Let's first look at the function of this symbol.
......
This experiment, again, takes place outside the body.
This time, instead of manifesting the Five Elements Mountain, a large amount of Wood element power was directly extracted.
Under Li Fan's control, these wood-elemental forces gradually evolved into mysterious symbols resembling tree rings.
Bang!
Soon, the nascent growth rings burst open.
First attempt, officially failed.
The explosive wood elemental power quickly disappeared into the externalized body.
Immediately afterwards, Li Fan began his second attempt.
......
three times.
Five times.
Ten times.
One hundred times.
...
It wasn't until the 208th attempt that the mysterious tree ring symbol finally coalesced.
And this is just the beginning.
The condensed tree ring symbols transformed into a black hole, beginning to devour the power of the Wood element.
The wood element power that had been externalized within his body was quickly devoured.
However, Li Fan quickly drew upon the wood-based power to take over.
With the aid of blood drinking, it was barely able to keep up with the speed at which the mysterious symbol devoured it.
......
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The inn where Li Fan was in seclusion had long been heavily guarded.
On the first floor of the inn, Yan Yuhuan paced back and forth.
She panicked!
There was no other way; the string of bad news that had been coming in these past few days had forced her to act hastily.
Within the territory of Dayong, a terrible rebellion is sweeping across the land.
The flames of war have spread to the surrounding vassal dynasties.
All the powerful figures who came to provide assistance have lost contact.
My existence may have already been exposed.
Brahma, why did you choose this moment to go into seclusion?
If you get entangled with them, then your biggest advantage will be gone.
