Throughout the entire process, Jing Zhe did not make a move.
Or rather, although his body didn't move, his thoughts moved, and the space around his body moved accordingly.
It turned out that after his second time making love with Lu Li, Jing Zhe discovered that his body had changed. This change was different from all his previous breakthroughs, and he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
If he had to describe it, he felt he had become more "enlightened".
What is transparency?
He can detect the most subtle changes in the outside world. They are currently in the hot springs in the back mountain, but if he wants, he can hear the female disciples talking in the front courtyard. It's amazing!
Moreover, unlike before when he had to externalize his true qi or mobilize his internal energy to practice his skills, he can now change the surrounding energy field and guide the flow and changes of qi simply by thinking about it.
As Pei Yunxi and the others' qi swords were about to reach him, he had a thought, and an invisible black hole seemed to appear in front of his body, sucking in all the qi swords that were externalized from true qi.
These changes are not visible to the naked eye, but Jing Zhe can feel them very clearly, as if he can see them. After absorbing these sword energies, he feels full of energy.
This Great Perfection technique seems to have a bit of the Star Absorbing Technique vibe to it.
No matter how the opponent attacks, he can absorb the offensive without even realizing it, and then turn it into his own. This perfection is truly perfect!
Pei Yunxi and the others were completely stunned.
"What...what happened? Our Qi Swords are all gone?"
After Pei Yunxi stopped, she looked to the side and found that she wasn't the only one who had lost her Qi Sword; everyone else had lost theirs as well.
"It feels like I've been sucked in by something..."
Su Mochen looked at Jing Zhe with shining eyes and said.
Lu Li stroked her chin thoughtfully: "So this is the Great Perfection Realm? Attack and defense appear silently."
At this moment, Jing Zhe opened his eyes and laughed, "Now, I can indeed go to Jingzhou alone to take revenge!"
"..."
...
On the east city wall of Jingzhou.
The Crown Prince, or more accurately, the new Emperor of Anguo, Su Lichen.
He stared at the dark mass of Silver-Dressed Army outside the city, his brows furrowed.
Standing beside him was none other than Prince Xiang, Su Limin, who had repeatedly tried to replace him.
At this time, Emperor An passed away, and the Crown Prince ascended the throne. His only elder brother, the Prince of Xiang, was also entrusted with important responsibilities. Compared to when Emperor An was in power, the relationship between the two was more harmonious.
I wonder what Emperor An, now in the underworld, would think if he saw this.
The story dates back to half a month ago. During a conversation between Emperor An and the Crown Prince, Emperor An inadvertently revealed to the Crown Prince that Jing Zhe possessed the Immortal Transformation Pill and would give him one.
Emperor An's thoughts are understandable. After all, being able to live forever and remain on the throne is something every monarch dreams of.
Therefore, he was somewhat proud and self-satisfied, so he casually mentioned it during the conversation. Moreover, the person he was talking to was his own son, and the most honest and loyal crown prince at that. He didn't think anything of it.
But the speaker meant no harm, while the listener took it to heart.
Although the Crown Prince was honest and kind, it was because he knew that honesty and kindness would win him Emperor An's favor and bring him the throne.
But when he learned that Emperor An could live forever, and that it was very likely that Emperor An would continue to sit on the throne even after he died, the Crown Prince panicked completely and became furious.
That night, after returning to the Eastern Palace, he pondered the matter and tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The next morning, he was listless and unable to muster any energy when he went to court.
After two days of agonizing over it, the Crown Prince finally made up his mind.
After another morning court session ended and everyone had left the palace, the Crown Prince unusually stopped the lone Prince Xiang and invited him to visit the Eastern Palace.
The Prince of Xiang was also surprised at the time, because the open and covert struggle between him and the Crown Prince had been going on for many years. The two of them might put on an act and exchange a few words in court and in front of Emperor An, but once the court was over, the two of them would basically not have any communication.
Now, the Crown Prince has not only stopped him, but is also preparing to invite him to the Eastern Palace as a guest. What the Prince of Xiang is up to is unknown.
Of course, he couldn't refuse, so he went.
Throughout the journey, the Crown Prince did not exchange any words with King Xiang. It was not until they arrived at the Eastern Palace that the Crown Prince dismissed all the servants, which startled King Xiang. He thought the Crown Prince was about to do something to him. King Xiang was relieved when he saw that even Feng Lianru, the Crown Prince's guest who had always been by his side, was also dismissed by the Crown Prince. He was also able to confirm that the Crown Prince really had something extremely private to tell him.
After all the servants had left, the Crown Prince still felt uneasy and went out to check twice more to make sure there was no one around the room before telling the Prince of Xiang about the Immortal Transformation Pill.
Just as the Crown Prince had predicted, the King of Xiang's expression upon hearing about the Immortal Transformation Pill was similar to his own back then.
This is understandable.
The reason why the Prince of Xiang and the Crown Prince had a falling out was because the Prince of Xiang coveted the position of Crown Prince. After all, the Crown Prince was the first in line to inherit the throne. After Emperor An passed away, the Crown Prince would be the first to succeed to the throne, and the Prince of Xiang would have no chance at all.
King Xiang has been vying for this for so many years, all he wants is to compete with the Crown Prince for it.
But what about now?
With the Immortal Transformation Pill, could Emperor An live to be a hundred? Two hundred? Three hundred? Or even longer?
In any case, Prince Xiang could foresee that even if they all died, Emperor An would still be sitting on the throne, so why should he compete with the Crown Prince? Even if he did win, what would be the point?
King Xiang's expression gradually darkened, and after considering it for a long time, he finally looked up to ask the Crown Prince for his thoughts.
After some discussion, the two finally reached a consensus: to first kill their father, Emperor An, and seize the throne, and then kill Jing Zhe to obtain the Immortal Transformation Pill!
For the Crown Prince, he wanted the throne, and he also wanted the elixir of immortality. For the Prince of Xiang, he would get nothing if he didn't kill Emperor An, so no matter what, Emperor An had to die!
As for the future struggle for the throne... if Emperor An doesn't die, what is there for him to fight for? Besides, if he really obtains the Immortal Transformation Pill, what does the throne matter?
The two, who had been thinking alike, quickly devised a plan. On the surface, they remained calm and continued to attend court, acting as they always had – exchanging barbs when necessary and remaining indifferent when appropriate. In private, however, they each contacted the Prince of Jin and the Southern Qi, and reached an agreement with them.
In order to get Southern Qi to send troops, the Crown Prince promised that as long as Southern Qi sent troops to Jingzhou, he would devise a plan to have Emperor An lead the expedition, and the Southern Qi army would take the opportunity to kill Emperor An. After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he would immediately cede Jiangling to Southern Qi, and then Southern Qi would withdraw its troops.
