Chapter 160 The Fourth Generation



I didn’t expect it had been so long!

When Xu Sheng first learned about the year and month, he was stunned.

"The spiritual energy between heaven and earth now!"

Afterwards, Xu Sheng felt the situation outside and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's even thinner than a thousand years ago!"

At that time, Shi Niang, Ci Yin and others thought about sleeping until the next era, where there might be a better environment for cultivators.

I didn't expect it to be like this now.

The current environment is even worse for cultivators than it was back then.

However, seeing that the world has become like this now, Xu Sheng no longer feels guilty towards the little nun.

After all, because he did not tell the little nun that he had the Book of Eternal Life that could help him reincarnate, the little nun also gave up the Great Sleep Technique with him.

If he opened his eyes now and found that it was an era with rich spiritual energy, Xu Sheng would probably feel guilty to death.

"I wonder how Shi Niang, Ci Yin, Ci An, and Ci Xin are doing."

Thinking of this, Xu Sheng naturally wondered in his heart: "Are they awake? Are they dead?"

It's hard to say.

After all, two thousand years have passed since the brewing of the wine was put into hibernation.

It is possible that Shi Niang has woken up in the middle of the process, or is now old or dead.

Of course, it is also possible that they are still sleeping, so everything is uncertain.

Xu Sheng also thought that if they woke up halfway, they would probably be very disappointed. After all, they had fallen asleep with the expectation that the next era would be a better era for cultivators.

"Is that Eternal Night Monster dead?"

Then Xu Sheng thought again: "A thousand years have passed. Is it possible that he is dead?"

After all, the woman in white was also very strong, and she was obviously going to deal with the Eternal Night Monster. So it is possible that in the past thousand years, the woman in white found a way to kill the monster.

But that's not necessarily the case. After all, the woman in white wanted to find teammates back then. It can be seen here that she could not deal with the monster by herself.

In particular, the spiritual energy has become worse than before, which may also have an impact on the woman in white's ability to deal with the Eternal Night Monster.

Just as Xu Sheng was thinking this, he heard the sound of a train starting.

That’s right, we are now in the Steam Age.

Although the spiritual energy has become increasingly thinner, the practice of cultivation has not developed.

But technology has advanced.

After all, when Xu Sheng was still Xu Longsheng, he set up a science and technology research institute. Although it developed very slowly, it did sow the initial seeds.

More than two thousand years have passed since then.

It has only developed to this level today.

In fact, the development is relatively slow.

"If that's the case, I can only take over the imperial power in this life and devote all my energy to the development of science and technology!"

Xu Sheng thought to himself, "Of course, we can't give up our cultivation at the same time. On the other hand, we should try to get the missiles out. When the time comes, we can get a few missiles to blow up the Eternal Night Monster. With the power of the missiles, even if we can't kill it, we can at least seriously injure it, right?"

Missiles are the ultimate weapon of technological civilization that Xu Sheng knows about.

The people on Earth before the time travel even found it difficult to control after they figured it out.

There is a fear that if a missile war breaks out, the entire planet will be destroyed.

You can imagine its power.

Therefore, although the Eternal Night Monster is very strong, if a missile can be launched, it should be able to seriously injure it.

According to the tone of the woman in white at that time, after destroying the monster and opening the path to ascension, he should be able to ascend to a higher world.

Only in this way can one pursue a higher level of cultivation.

Pursue a longer life form!

After all, Xu Sheng’s goal is eternal life!

At this time, the train station was full of people wearing ancient costumes.

After all, the clothing of people in this world has not been influenced by Western civilization like that of people on Earth, so their clothing has not become modern.

The appearance of the train was due to the seeds sown by the time traveler Xu Sheng.

"I told you not to come with me? But you insisted on coming."

At the station, a young man in a black robe sighed and said to a young woman in blue holding a baby in her arms, "I'm going to the capital with a narrow escape of death!"

"If you die, what's the point of me living alone with the child?"

But the young woman said, "No matter what, we must die together."

The young man sighed.

That’s right, this young man and this young woman are Xu Sheng’s parents in this life.

He was reborn under the name Xu.

And now the Xu family has returned to the royal family.

You have to know that more than a thousand years ago, in the era of the Great Yan Dynasty, although the bloodline was also passed down by Xu Sheng, the Xu family was not actually in charge.

But now it has become Xu.

All we can say is that there has been a change of dynasty in the past thousand years.

Xu Sheng listened silently.

He thought about whether he should just say that he was a powerful cultivator who had been reincarnated from a soldier, so that his father could directly develop science and technology vigorously.

After all, it would take many years to develop technology from the steam age to the emergence of missiles, so it would be better to do it sooner.

But after thinking about it, I held back.

If a baby in swaddling clothes started talking, it would probably scare the couple half to death.

"It's bad, Your Highness."

But just as he was about to board the train, one of his men came back to report: "The double-faced spy we planted found out that the Second Prince actually knew that you were going to take this train. One of our men has betrayed us!"

“It seems.”

The young man said with an unpleasant expression: "We can't take this road anymore."

Everyone left the station.

A few hours later.

In the secret room.

Several people looked worried.

"Now the water routes are blocked and the land routes are all blocked!"

The young woman holding the infant Xu Sheng frowned and said, "Is there no other way? You are the crown prince. Even if you can't make it to the capital, they can't just take away your throne, right?"

"The second one has the support of the old queen."

The young man shook his head and said, "It is said that the old man also forged the will. If I can't go back, and the second brother ascends the throne, everything will be hopeless."

The two were silent.

Then the young man sighed and said, "But there is really no way now. The infiltration of the second brother is more serious than I thought. It was not until now that I realized that many of my men are his people! Sorry, you may not be destined to be the queen." He said apologetically while holding the young woman's hand.

"That's not what I was thinking."

The young woman said, "I don't care whether I become the queen or not, I just want to live a peaceful life. If the second prince ascends the throne, will he still give us a way to live?"

"have no idea."

The young man said, "If it really comes to that, I will try to be soft with him and hope he will show some mercy."

He sighed and said, "The power struggle in the royal family has been dangerous since ancient times. If you had married someone other than me, maybe you wouldn't have to face all this."

"What's the point of you saying this now?"

The young woman rolled her eyes and said, "Not only am I married to you now, I've even given birth to a son for you! It's a pity that our son may suffer when he is born."

“Actually, there is a solution.”

Of course, at this moment, a childish voice rang out in the room and said, "Since neither the water nor the land route is accessible, then don't go on the ground, just go directly to the sky. You can still reach the capital by taking the air route."

"who?"

The young man was surprised and asked, "Who is talking?"

"You, you?"

The young woman looked down at the baby in her arms and said, "Just now, the sound seemed to come from here? Son, are you talking?"

Although she was shocked beyond belief, she did not just throw the child away.

Xu Sheng could only say that maternal love was quite extraordinary.

"That's right."

Xu Sheng said in his cradle: "Mother, I was the one who spoke just now."

"How is that possible?"

The young man's eyes widened and he said, "How can a baby in swaddling clothes talk? Who the hell are you? Get out of my son!"

He said as he drew his pistol.

"A pistol is no match for me."

Xu Sheng, also wrapped in swaddling clothes, stood up in the arms of the young woman, looked at the young man and said, "Don't panic, I am your son. It's just that I was a cultivator in my previous life! You must have heard of cultivators, right? Yun Ling, the founding state teacher of the Great Xu Kingdom in history, the state teacher who helped Xu Longsheng of your Xu family ascend to the throne, was once a cultivator. I am just like her. I was reincarnated and became your son."

"What?"

The young woman also widened her eyes and asked, "Are you the reincarnation of a cultivator?"

“This this this?”

The young man also said: "Then, are you still my son?"

"Of course I am your son."

Xu Sheng also said: "Whether it is possession or not depends on whether the soul looks exactly like the body. You can take a look."

As Xu Sheng spoke, his soul left his body, and the soul of a baby of the same size appeared in the room.

Ordinary people cannot see the soul leaving the body, but Xu Sheng let them see it now, so they can naturally see it.

"Don't worry."

Xu Sheng then returned to his body, and the baby continued, "I have no ill will towards you. After all, you are my parents. If I had ill will, you would never be able to find me unless I revealed myself, isn't that right?"

"this……?"

The young woman looked at the young man, then nodded and said, "That's the truth."

The young man put away his pistol.

"I never thought that my son is actually the reincarnation of a cultivator!"

The young woman was not afraid at all. Instead, she looked very happy and said, "Son, what you just said, you can take us back to the capital from heaven, is that true?"

"Of course it's true."

Xu Sheng said: "Let's set off now. However, there is no need to worry about these men following you. You can explain it to them."

"good."

Although the young man was still a little confused, he still obeyed at this time: "Someone come..."

He turned around and gave instructions to his men.

Then returned to the house.

Afterwards, the couple got rid of all their men and flew directly into the air with the help of Xu Sheng's magic power, shuttling between the white clouds in the sky.

“Ahhhh!!!”

The young woman screamed, "Your Highness, we are really flying. Are we dreaming?"

"no!!!"

The young man also said, "We are really flying! This, this, this... It really feels like a dream!"

"It is our fate to be mother and son, father and son."

Xu Sheng, the swaddled baby, flew between them, holding them with his two little hands, and said, "Of course, I will help you, and I will need your help in the future."

"What is it?"

The young man said, "Son, you have such magical powers, do you still need your father's help?"

"Um."

Xu Sheng nodded and said, "I need you to use the national strength to develop science and technology after you ascend the throne..."

He spoke briefly.

During the conversation, Xu Sheng took the couple and flew into the deep mountains and forests.

"Isn't this the way to the capital?"

Of course, the young man asked, "Where are we going?"

"First, go get the magic weapon I left behind in my previous life."

Xu Sheng explained: "It will be fine soon."

call!

As he spoke, Xu Sheng rose and fell.

Stopped halfway up a high mountain.

A few minutes later.

Xu Sheng took out all the space magic tools left over from his previous life.

"Flying sword, rise!"

Then he rode three flying swords into the air.

Let the couple each step on a flying sword.

This is faster.

The mana consumed is also much less than using mana to lift them directly.

Of course they won't fall down while standing on the flying swords.

Because Xu Sheng's magic power will cover them and prevent them from dropping the flying sword.

Both husband and wife were shocked.

"Is this the legendary sword flying?"

The young woman screamed, "I'm actually flying on a flying sword, ahhhhhhh!!!"

"I heard before that many of our Xu family's ancestors practiced Taoism."

The young man also said: "It's just that it hasn't happened in my generation. I thought these things were fake, but I didn't expect them to be true. My son is actually a cultivator..."

While they were sighing like this, Xu Sheng activated his magic power, and the figures of several people roared and shot through the air at high speed.

After that, he naturally avoided the second prince and returned to the capital.

However, when we returned to the capital, the situation was still not good.

After some investigation, it was discovered that many ministers had been bribed by the old queen mother.

Including the imperial guards and others were subdued by him.

It's not so easy to turn the tables.

"I can only go to General Li."

The young man said, "He should be loyal. If we can get his help, we will surely be able to turn the tables. The old queen mother can't bribe the whole court. And I am the legitimate prince!"

"This is still a bit risky. What if General Li also rebels? Once you, father, die, then it will be over, right?"

But the baby Xu Sheng, who was already dressed, said, "I will capture the old queen mother and the second prince directly. Then they will not be able to fake the will. The throne will naturally belong to you, father."

After all, Xu Sheng is not a real baby, and he feels it would be better to put on clothes.

Swaddling is just wrapping.

It's still a bit shameful.

"What?"

The young woman and the young man were both shocked and asked, "Is this even possible?"

"I saw some records from our ancestors. Didn't they say that cultivators should avoid worldly karma?"

The young man then said, "Son, you are so reckless in interfering in the secular world? Is that okay?"

"No problem."

Xu Sheng just smiled and said, "Don't worry, father and mother. Because I, your son, am very strong! I am not an ordinary cultivator."

“…”

The young woman and the young man were speechless.

Then they could only obey and watch the baby Xu Sheng fly out of the window, into the sky, and disappear into the night.

The couple looked at each other in shock again.

An hour later.

The elegant and white-haired old queen mother and the second prince in a dragon robe had been captured. That's right, when Xu Sheng went to capture them, the second prince was wearing a dragon robe and imagining the scene of himself ascending the throne.

“So simple?”

The young man couldn't help but ask: "The throne is mine?"

Of course, neither the Queen Mother nor the Second Prince saw Xu Sheng, because Xu Sheng also told his parents not to expose his extraordinary existence.

The old queen mother and the second prince were both blindfolded.

Three more days later.

In the meeting place where all the civil and military officials of the court gathered.

Many ministers looked at each other in shock.

Because the old empress dowager had already made arrangements and said that she would announce the burial of the late emperor today, and at the same time announce the will to support the second prince to ascend the throne.

But now neither the old queen mother nor the second prince appeared.

What they were waiting for was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the true order of succession to the throne!
