Be a reckless man in the martial arts word game

Chapter 637: Entering the Ninth Floor of the Palace, the Emperor's Expression Changes

[This place is worthy of its name, Cloud City, it is shrouded in clouds and fog, and you can't see the road clearly if you are a little further away. When Qin Youzhi first came here, he took the wrong road every day. It is only now that he has become half a local that he can chat while walking.]

[When talking about the imperial examination, his emotions suddenly fluctuated violently]

[“The abolition of the imperial examination system had already been decided, but the Third Prince suddenly took over the throne, and everything became uncertain again.”]

[Qin Youzhi vaguely sensed the huge shadow behind the Third Prince, which was a microcosm of the ethics that had bound this world for thousands of years.]

[That group of people will not agree to abolish the imperial examination system! ]

【At this point, you suddenly asked: "What do you think of the Three Religions Period?"】

[“The pinnacle of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.” Qin Youzhi answered truthfully]

[“Why was that the peak? Didn’t these three families produce many saints?”]

[“Saints who come from a religious sect are not the same as saints who do not come from a religious sect. The former may represent that they are the epitome of a certain doctrine, while the latter may represent that they are the epitome of a certain thought.”]

Qin Youzhi paused for a moment, "And as far as I know, since the decline of the three religions, saints no longer represent the pinnacle of martial arts. Yu Benshan No. 1 is the pinnacle of martial arts in the world."

[In a martial arts heyday, when a force cannot even train the strongest people, then they are already on the decline]

[You didn't tell Qin Youzhi that you were vaguely related to someone from 5,000 years ago. You just told him that the highest mountain in Taoism appeared in Nanming City.]

[“He is in league with the foreign race.”]

[Qin Youzhi looked angry. Before he could say anything, you continued.]

[“Those people are just a group of puppets forged by doctrines. They have long forgotten their roots, so they are just a group of withered bones in a grave. There is no need to pay attention to their thoughts. When those people really appear, I will take action.”]

[Qin Youzhi then stopped talking]

After arriving in the capital, he learned more things. He deeply understood that the evil of literature and morality was not entirely due to the imperial examination system, but to the etiquette that everyone supported.

【Innovation is not something that can be done overnight】

[“By the way, have you seen the Immortal King Qianqiu?”]

[“Never.”]

[“So since he’s missing, which emperor am I going to meet later? The Third Prince?”]

[“He wants to become the master of the country, but if he ascends the throne now… he doesn’t dare. To be precise, no one can be sure of the status of the Immortal King Qianqiu. His disappearance is just everyone’s speculation. My report to Yao Xiaosheng about his meeting with the emperor only increases the credibility of this speculation.”]

[“He trapped himself in Yindu Palace. Sometimes you can see him when you walk in, and sometimes you can’t. But now no one has seen him in Yindu Palace for a long time.”]

[When he said this, Qin Youzhi reminded Madam Shan with his heartfelt words, and Liu Yunjie spoke at the right time, "When my father met the emperor for the last time, the emperor said something."]

[“If you encounter someone who is as immortal as him, ‘bring him to Yindu Palace.’”]

[When Liu Yunjie said this, she didn’t mention anyone, but you could clearly feel that she was talking about you.]

[Ordinary people only have a single-digit number of rebirths per day, and usually no more than five resurrections. Even for the demons of the Changsheng Sect, it is rare for them to have a double-digit number of rebirths.]

[But you... There are rumors in the martial arts world that you have an eternal body and will never die.]

[You can be sure that you are the person that the Immortal King Qianqiu is looking for, but what you cannot be sure of is whether he wants you to go to Yindu Palace with good intentions... or bad intentions? ]

[Liu Yunjie told you this so that you can be prepared in advance. If it is well-intentioned, then it’s fine. If it is malicious, you should also be prepared in advance.]

[“Thank you, Madam, for your reminder.”] [Liu Yunjie nodded steadily, neither taking credit nor being humble, with an air of being a great person. It was hard to imagine how a rough man like Shan Shan’e could have such a mother]

[Soon, you arrived at the Dayu Palace. Qin Youzhi and Liu Yunjie stopped here, and you walked in under the guidance of the guards.]

[You have entered the special area "Dayu Palace"]

[Suppressed by the palace ban, your magical powers and divine will cannot be used, and all additional abilities except basic attributes are suppressed by 50%...]

[After passing through several city gates, you came to the Nine-Layered Palace. Outside the palace hangs a bright mirror called the "Xuanxin Mirror", which can reflect the evil in people's hearts and the evil spirits.]

[The Xuanxin Mirror condenses the pure light of the blue sky and white day and shines on you. Not a single trace of black air is revealed, only two colors, one red and one gold, are revealed.]

[Red represents blood karma, which means you have killed too many people. But if it is not stained with black, it means you are not a person who is blinded by killing desire, and most of the people you kill are those who deserve to be killed.]

[Gold… shocked many people in Yundu]

[Because along with the gold in the Wen Palace are the "paper for admonition" and the "pen for slander", this means that in addition to being a Dragon and Tiger champion, you are also a Yao Xiaosheng! ]

[He is a man of both civil and military abilities, a man of heaven who has been sent down to earth]

[The guards around you all stared with their eyes wide open, not knowing what to say. After you urged them repeatedly, they finally opened the door to the Nine-Layered Palace for you.]

[The so-called Nine-Layered Palace, as the name suggests, is composed of nine palaces from low to high]

[Walk up 891 steps and you will arrive at the first hall, called "Fengtian Hall". It is a large hall with five ridges and four slopes. There is a long ridge from east to west, and two oblique vertical ridges in front and back.]

[There are ten animals on the eaves, namely the dragon, phoenix, lion, celestial horse, seahorse, Suanni, Yayu, Xiezhi, fighting bull, and Xingshi]

[The Fengtian Hall was where the emperor held important ceremonies, such as birthdays, festivals, and banquets for his ministers.]

[The second hall...]

[The third hall...]

[The eighth-floor hall was where the imperial court was held. Going up another 9,999 steps, you will reach the ninth-floor hall, the Yindu Hall, where the emperor lived and went into seclusion.]

“This is too high.”

[Climbing from the first hall to the eighth hall is not as high as climbing from the eighth hall to the ninth hall. Even with your physique, you can't help but take a breath when you get here.]

[The ninth-floor hall is in the "Supreme" style. The number of horn beasts and brackets on the roof is far more than that of other halls. The carvings on the imperial road and railings are all dragons and phoenixes representing imperial power.]

[Follow the process told to you by the people at Dengwen Road, 72nd Street. Yindu Hall is not locked. Just walk in directly.]

【squeak--】

[You push the door open]

【boom--】

[The door slams shut, and the dim hall suddenly becomes bright. On the dragon chair in the center, you see a person pretending to be asleep with his head propped up.]

[His eyelids slowly opened, emitting a brilliant light]

[“Zhiwu, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”]
