Deep inside the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, in the Zi Yang Palace.

In the deep silence, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, dressed in a dragon robe, sat hunched over on the dragon throne.

There are already a few more white strands of hair on his temples. The battle for the crown prince has entered its final moments. Tomorrow, his son will have his final battle with Ji Wushang of Prince Zining's Mansion.

Judging from the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, Ji Wushang will almost certainly win the final battle and become the new crown prince of the Great Zhou.

He didn't know why Ji Wushang was so powerful. In just a few days, he broke through to the realm of creation.

But he knew that once Ji Wushang ascended the throne of crown prince, it would be almost impossible for his lineage to regain the royal family.

From being a royal family to being a royal family, what is lost is not only power, but also the resources for spiritual practice.

Without this resource, his descendants will become lower and lower until they are indistinguishable from the crowd.

This is not alarmist talk. The Great Zhou was established ten thousand years ago. During such a long period of time, the royal family has hardly experienced any turmoil. However, the royal family has already fallen into decline.

Some of the original royal family members have now become commoners, their cultivation is only slightly better than that of ordinary people, and they are trying to get an ordinary official position in the imperial city.

If he loses his position as crown prince, in just one or two thousand years, his descendants, not even the royal family, may not be able to keep it.

If it were another one or two thousand years, or three or four thousand years later, even his descendants would become ordinary people, only able to seek some official positions, and nothing else.

"We can't stay at the Zining Palace. At least, Ji Wushang can't stay."

Just when the emperor was worried, a voice quietly fell into his ears, causing his body to tremble suddenly.

"Father."

Deeper in the Ziyang Palace, in the darkness, an old man in a white robe inlaid with gold slowly stepped out.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou immediately stepped down from the dragon throne and bowed.

"Father, why did you come out of the forbidden area?"

The emperor glanced at him, walked slowly up the steps and walked towards the dragon throne.

"If I don't come out, this lineage will lose the throne."

A trace of guilt flashed across the face of the Great Zhou Emperor.

"It's my son who is incompetent and failed to teach Tianming well."

"It's not your fault. Tianming has good aptitude and is very hardworking. His cultivation is already very good, but he ran into this monster Ji Wushang."

After a pause, he spoke again:

"However, this throne cannot be given up."

The Emperor of Great Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What does father mean?"

"Tonight, I'm going to Prince Zining's Mansion."

"What? This won't do! Father, you are now the Great Zhou's Grand Elder, and you must not get involved in this matter. If you get involved, it is very likely that you will be punished by the Elders. The Great Zhou royal family has an ancestral precept that unless there is fault, any royal bloodline may not harm other branches. If things go wrong, those elders may even kill you."

"So what?"

The retired emperor smiled coldly, sat on the dragon throne, and gently stroked the dragon head handle.

"I am already at the Emperor Realm, so the Great Zhou Elders will not be willing to kill me easily. At most, they will just imprison me. I have been in seclusion for many years, so it doesn't make any difference.

However, once Ji Wushang dies, there will be no one in the Great Zhou who can compete with Tianming, and the royal family can still be controlled in our hands.

This is a sure win business. No matter what, it is a win-win for our royal family."

"Father."

The Emperor of the Great Zhou shouted with a trembling voice. He never expected that this time, he would have to sacrifice his father to overcome the crisis.

However, what my father said was right. The throne cannot be lost and must be firmly controlled in their hands.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Of course, you are the Emperor of Great Zhou. Now the formations of the entire Great Zhou Imperial City are under your control. At midnight tonight, you must find a way to open the formations of Prince Zining's Mansion so that no one can enter or leave. As long as you can give me half an incense stick of time, everything will be enough."

"yes!"

The emperor knew that it was not easy to kill Ji Wushang.

The old prince behind the Zining Palace is also at the imperial level. If you can't break through him in a short period of time, it will be impossible to kill Ji Wushang.

The assassination certainly cannot last long, otherwise, once the Council of Elders shows up and several emperors attack at the same time, how can the assassination be carried out?

Anyway, as long as the threat Ji Wushang is killed, everything else will follow naturally. Even if the elders are angry, they can do nothing about it. The future throne will definitely belong to Tianming.

That's enough.

At the same time, after several days of waiting, Lu Xiaoran's cultivation finally broke through.

The second level of martial arts master!

He had broken through to the Martial Honor realm a few days ago, and then broke through to the Second Level of Martial Honor.

This was all due to the disciples' efforts. Because the flow of time in the Mountain and River State Map was slowed down, they practiced for at least nearly three months!

Three months is enough for them to break through many levels.

"Finally, I am also a Martial Honored Master. I am one step closer to the Martial Emperor realm."

Lu Xiaoran called out "Wangcai" with a smile.

"Wangcai."

"Here I come, Master, here I come."

"Open Yun Lige and their information panel for me so I can take a look."

"Okay master, it's being generated."

Soon, Wangcai generated the panel information of several disciples.

The first one is Yun Lige. This guy has already reached the peak of the tenth level of the Return to Void Realm. He is only one step away from breaking through to the Creation Realm.

Wuxia has already broken through to the third level of the Creation Realm.

It seems that the greater the gap in aptitude, the greater the gap in cultivation will also be.

The further you go, the more it matters your qualifications.

Without the qualifications, what good would it be even if you achieved the state of great perfection in the exercises?

The true meaning of martial arts cannot be fully understood, and it is still impossible to advance easily.

This was the effect of the Soul-Nourishing Pill and the Soul-Dining Pill that the few people had taken.

The Soul-Enriching Pill improved their aptitude, and the Soul-Enriching Pill improved their understanding of martial arts.

Based on these two points, they can advance so quickly.

Fang Tianyuan has already reached the seventh level of the Creation Realm. As for Li Changsheng, he has surpassed the Delusion Breaking Realm and currently has the strength of the fifth level of the Delusion Breaking Realm.

The speed at which they both progressed was so fast that Lu Xiaoran couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In fact, according to normal logic, the higher the level of cultivation, the slower the advancement speed.

But Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng were really going against common sense.

The speed at which they both progressed was actually faster than Yun Lige and Ji Wuxia.

This has to make people wonder.

Finally, after careful observation, Lu Xiaoran discovered something very strange.

The first is that Li Changsheng absorbs spiritual energy very quickly. He vaguely noticed that this should be the credit of the sword spirit in Li Changsheng's body.

The sword soul is of divine rank, it is already an existence beyond this world. Perhaps for this reason, Li Changsheng went against common sense and improved his strength a lot in the high-level cultivation stage, which is even stronger than the advancement of Yun Lige at the low level.

The second one is Fang Tianyuan.

Lu Xiaoran vaguely discovered that a purple little monkey shadow seemed to be born in Fang Tianyuan's body.

This shocked Lu Xiaoran.

Because he felt a power that transcended the mundane world from the phantom of the little monkey, which meant that the phantom of the little monkey was also a god-level thing.

Could it be another divine soul?

Is it because of this soul that Fang Tianyuan’s cultivation level improves faster than when he was at a low level?

"Wangcai, are you still there?"

"Yes, yes, Master, I am here."

"Why did a divine soul also appear in Fang Tianyuan's body? Isn't he a mortal?"

"This is because the master gave him the Soul-Enriching Pill."

"But didn't you say that the Soul-Enriching Pill is used to improve aptitude?"

"It is true that the Soul-Enhancing Pill improves one's aptitude, but the so-called Soul-Enhancing Pill is to allow cultivators who have shed their mortal bodies and evolved into gods to condense their souls. To put it bluntly, as long as one's aptitude is improved to a certain level, it will be easy to activate the soul. If one's aptitude is not enough, then there is definitely no way to condense the soul."

"So that's how it is."

Lu Xiaoran nodded.

It seems that the soul is still very important.

Lu Xiaoran estimated that this was a method that only gods could possess.

Ordinary humans, even in the mortal world, may not be able to cultivate it even if they have good aptitude.

For example, Yun Lige and Ji Wuxia don’t have these now.

But this is just right. Fang Tianyuan can condense his soul, which will help with his cultivation and he will advance faster.

As his cultivation level advances, Lu Xiaoran himself will also improve in strength.

This is a business that is sure to make money.

Finally, Lu Xiaoran glanced at Zhuge Ziqiong again.

This little girl's cultivation has improved quite well. She had already reached the spiritual realm before, and now she has even reached the first level of the spirit refining realm. It seems that it won't be long before she surpasses Yun Lige.

Why!

Poor Li Ge, it's so tragic.

The new junior sister can also stand on his head and pee.

It seems that I really need to find a way to get some good things for Li Ge in the future to help him improve.

Lu Xiaoran was really afraid that Yun Lige would not be able to bear the blow and commit suicide one day.

"Okay, now that I've read the information, I can open the blind box again."

Lu Xiaoran was a little excited.

I received quite a few gift packs this time, and the disciples’ cultivation has improved so much, I wonder if they will give me some more good things.

He collected all the gift packages.

Still the same old rules, start with the ordinary gift package.

Heart of the Emperor x10.

The Heart of the Great Emperor, the heart of the Great Emperor, can be used to refine the Emperor's Heart Pill, an imperial-grade top-grade elixir. After taking it, it can improve cultivation, martial arts perception, and strengthen the body. It can also be used to instantly heal injuries, restore spiritual energy, and enhance combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

"Wow, ten emperor hearts came directly, they must weigh several kilograms, I guess they can be used to refine a lot of pills."
