Chapter 436 I am the destiny
"How could this be?"

Prince Ji Xuanchu of Jin stood in a villa, listening to the reports from his subordinates, with a look of surprise on his face.

Although the actions of King Han and King Liang were meticulous, he still knew some clues. However, the final outcome was completely different from anything he had expected. In his estimation, the forces behind the two royal brothers, King Han and King Liang, were not ordinary and were enough to give Chen Mu a hard time. Even if Chen Mu could escape, it would be a mess.

By that time, the methods of Chen Mu, King of Han and King of Liang would be exposed to each other, and the other eight kings would be able to intervene calmly, while he could sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and take advantage of the fire.

after all.

If we talk about who among the Eight Kings is the calmest about Chen Mu's rise, it is naturally him. After all, his mother's relatives and the Qin family of Yuzhou were once of the same lineage, and Qin Mengjun was born in the Qin family and is also Chen Mu's master. Although this relationship is a bit remote, there is always some intricate connection.

The only thing he was afraid of was that if Chen Mu aspired to conquer the world and had unrivaled martial arts, he would think of usurping the throne and remaking the world. That would be of no benefit to him. After all, his status was already extremely respected. If Chen Mu established a new dynasty, even if he could be granted the title of a king of a different surname, that would be the limit, and his status would never be more respected than it is now.

Therefore, he also considered the pros and cons and did not take action early.

Moreover.

Although Chen Mu was very powerful before and could rival the Blood Exchange Realm, he was still stuck at the blood exchange threshold. No one knew how many years it would take him to reach this stage. Even if he really entered the blood exchange realm, there was still a threshold to the heaven and man above.

No one knew how many years it would take Chen Mu to complete these two steps. If a few decades passed in a flash, the fight for the throne would have ended long ago. As the oldest of the eight kings, even if he had not yet died by then, he would be approaching old age. Therefore, he did not even consider things that far in the future.

Who knew that Chen Mu's martial arts could be so incredible that he could cross two realms and fight against gods and immortals by marrow cleansing!
"How on earth did he do that?"

Prince Jin muttered to himself, his eyes full of confusion.

As the first of the Eight Kings, he entered the Dao with complete Yin and Yang, immersed himself in the Marrow Washing Realm for decades, and ranked first in the world's Grandmaster List for many years. Even if he encountered an ordinary Blood Exchange Realm, he was confident that he could fight off a few moves, but this was his limit.

Even if he used some of his most secret tricks, some forbidden weapons of the royal family, he could at most retreat in front of a master of the Blood Exchange Realm. It was impossible for him to defeat a Blood Exchange Realm master by himself, let alone rival a celestial being!
What is he lacking compared to Chen Mu?
How can there be such a huge gap between people in the same realm?

……

Prince Han's Palace.

In a quiet mansion, in a pavilion built of thick dark purple sunken wood, King Han Ji Xuanfei was sitting on a yellow rattan chair, holding a green jade teacup in his hand. At this moment, the teacup in his hand was held tightly by him, but he did not notice it at all.

Click!

Until the teacup shattered in his hand, with tea and debris splashing everywhere.

"how so?!"

The broken pieces of the jade teacup in King Han's hand were crushed into powder in his palm, and the veins on his forehead were exposed. For a moment, he even found it difficult to control his impetuous emotions.

Chen Mu!

This person who appeared out of nowhere was not even in his eyes in the past, but he became so eye-catching in a short period of time. He even listened to the advice of his guests and joined hands with King Liang to attack him, but ended up in failure. Seven Blood Exchange Realm masters joined forces to ambush and kill him, but they couldn't even take down a Marrow Cleansing Realm master!

waste.

It's all waste.

If he had known this earlier, he should not have listened to the instigation of the Master of Xuanji Pavilion and joined forces with King Liang to act hastily. Instead, he should have played it safe and recruited a few more princes to join in to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Moreover, there was no direct hatred between him and Chen Mu in the past. The irreconcilable contradiction came from Xuanji Pavilion. He still had room for maneuver, but now that he has taken this step, there is no room for maneuver. The most important thing is that the master of Xuanji Pavilion has vowed to do so, and he also believes that even if Chen Mu has great abilities, he cannot escape this ambush, so there is no need to worry too much about a dead man.

Who knew it would be like this!

Now, once Chen Mu has achieved the blood exchange realm and possessed unrivaled martial arts strength, regardless of whether he has the ability to recreate the world, he will at least have the ability to influence the court and even the Eight Kings' situation. It will be difficult for him and King Liang to fight against him.

After all, even during the heyday of the imperial court, the most outstanding masters had to be respected. Although they were not feared, if such masters wanted to cause chaos, it would be enough to cause chaos and would be difficult to contain.

Judging from Chen Mu's current means, once he enters the blood exchange realm, his strength will certainly be no less than that of the top celestial beings. In the future, he is more likely to realize the unity of nature and man and practice martial arts to an unprecedented level.

"No."

"We can't just sit there and wait for death..."

There was a gleam of sharpness in King Han's eyes.

Although Chen Mu has cultivated his martial arts to an incredible level, he still has to overcome the blood exchange barrier. Even if Chen Mu has extraordinary abilities, he will reveal flaws when he attempts to reach the blood exchange barrier. If Chen Mu can be killed at that most critical juncture, there is no need for a celestial being to take action. An ordinary person in the blood exchange barrier may seriously injure him, or even completely block Chen Mu's path!
However, Chen Mu must be aware of this. Once he reaches the blood exchange realm, he will definitely look for the safest place. It is not easy to find him in the vast open sea, but he can't just sit there and wait for death.

Xuanji Pavilion has caused such trouble, and it is up to Xuanji Pavilion to settle it.

Also.

He is not the only one who is anxious. He is afraid that the situation on King Liang's side is not much better than his. In addition, some other people among the Eight Kings may also be anxious. It will not be so easy for Chen Mu to pass this last hurdle!
……

Just as the King of Han expected.

After the other eight kings learned the information from the open sea, they indeed had different emotions, and it was not only Prince Liang Ji Xuanzhen who was frowning and anxious. Some of them had previously adopted a wait-and-see attitude, because no matter how powerful Chen Mu was, who was still in the marrow washing realm, he was still far from being invincible in the world. But now, they were all a little restless.

At about the time when all the eight kings had unusual movements, they were located deep in the imperial court, in the forbidden area of ​​the palace.

"His Majesty."

Wei He, the head of the Imperial Household Department and the director of the Imperial Household Department, quietly appeared in a quiet room and spoke softly to the figure sitting cross-legged in a dragon robe, calling out.

A dead silence.

The figure was still sitting cross-legged in the center of the quiet room, with almost no signs of life around him, like a living dead.

Just as Wei He frowned, with worry in his eyes, and waited for a while without seeing any response, he was about to quietly leave when the figure that seemed to have been sitting quietly for ten years suddenly moved slightly. Even though the amplitude of this movement was extremely small, just a slight shake of the dragon robe, it was still clearly noticed by Wei He, and he was startled, and a look of surprise appeared on his face that was full of wrinkles like a sunken date.

"His Majesty?"

"…What happened?"

The figure in the dragon robe was still sitting cross-legged, without any further movements, but a voice filled with vicissitudes and majesty slowly spread in the quiet room.

Wei He took a deep breath, but did not respond immediately. Instead, he tensed his body and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the flowers in the back garden are blooming."

"Then pick them all."

The dragon-robed figure spoke in a calm tone.

When Wei He heard Emperor Xuan's response, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed slightly.

It was at this time.

The figure in the dragon robe slowly stood up and turned around, from sitting with his back to Wei Hejing to looking directly at him. With a young face, it was hard to tell that he was the Emperor Xuan who was in his twilight years.

Even as he stood up, his blood and energy surged and surged, vigorous and strong, not like that of an old man. The rich and vigorous internal energy was more like that of a young man under 40 or 50 years old, who had just entered the blood exchange stage and was in his prime!

"No need to test me. I am still me. We have integrated well. I am sorry for the trouble you have caused in the outer court over the years."

Emperor Xuan looked at Wei He and spoke calmly.

Wei He's hunched body bent even further, and he said, "I have worked so hard to share your worries. Your Majesty, if you can be safe and sound and achieve great success, it will be a blessing for the world and the country."

Emperor Xuan looked at Wei He and nodded slightly. Feeling the vigorous blood flowing in his body, he clenched his fist and said, "This soul-melting and orifice-stealing method is indeed extremely dangerous, especially the first step, which is extremely risky. If I had been timid at the beginning and used this method when my energy was running out, I might not have woken up today. But now that I have woken up and this method has been completed, I will have no problems from now on. The method of longevity that my ancestors never enjoyed is finally mine."

Wei He stood aside respectfully and did not interrupt.

After Emperor Xuan finished speaking, he finally turned his gaze to Wei He and said calmly, "A lot of things must have happened in the court and outside the court in recent years. What is the general situation?"

Wei He bowed and said, "Following His Majesty's instructions and secretly guiding them, the eight princes are fighting each other like water and fire, and the power in the court and even the world is also torn apart."

If anyone from the court was present and heard the conversation between Wei He and Emperor Xuan, they would certainly be shocked.

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings caused the entire Daxuan world to be torn apart and nearly overthrown. The ninety-nine states were in chaos, with sectarian separatism and endless disputes. All of this... was actually manipulated by Emperor Xuan alone!
Emperor Xuan conferred titles on eight princes to pave the way, and after he retreated to practice the "secret method", Wei He monopolized power in the court, acted perversely, and caused chaos within the entire court. It was all in accordance with Emperor Xuan's instructions!
But whether it was Emperor Xuan or Wei He, their expressions were calm at this time.

Emperor Xuan's practice of that special secret method of prolonging his life would cause him to fall into long-term slumber and chaos. In this case, if the court of Daxuan was in a righteous state, and the eight kings were not in chaos but united as one, then Wei He would not be able to manipulate the situation in the court. In the worst case, it is possible that the court, which was united as one, would force him to abdicate!
Once he left that position and allowed one of the Eight Kings to ascend the throne, it would be hard to predict what would happen. Emperor Xuan, who was in chaos and slumber, would not be able to regain power and might just die of old age one day.

Only chaos!

The court was in chaos, and only with Wei He's guidance in the play could he remain on the throne in this way.

As for everything else, it is not important. As long as he has mastered the secret technique and awakened, he can easily regain power and suppress the chaos in the entire Daxuan... because he is not only Emperor Xuan, but also a celestial being!

He is in charge of all the resources and treasury of Daxuan, and he himself is a master of heaven and man, standing at the pinnacle of martial arts. Once he wakes up, he will be able to regain his prime, and his blood will no longer decline. He will have another 100 or 200 years of life, and may even be able to glimpse the higher levels above heaven and man, the realm of gods that only exists in legends.

Let one of the eight kings inherit the throne?
He had never considered that.

If he fails in practicing that secret technique and ultimately cannot wake up, or if he is no longer himself after waking up, then Wei He will no longer guide him and will let the Eight Kings decide the winner in the shortest possible time, and the winner will inherit the throne.

soon.

Wei He gave a general account of the current situation in Daxuan, and all of this was completely within the expectations of Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao. Only when he heard about some of the eight kings' presumptuous acts, a deep light flashed in his eyes.

After Wei He finished speaking, Ji Yongzhao said calmly: "I have been away from government affairs these days, and they have really done a lot of things."

"We are waiting for Your Majesty to take charge of the government and calm the people's hearts."

Wei He spoke in a respectful voice.

But at this point, he paused for a moment and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing I need to report..."

"Ah."

Ji Yongzhao walked forward slowly, walked out of the quiet room, and came to the empty palace outside. He casually summoned a teacup on the table, while Wei He followed in small steps, took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ji Yongzhao, while speaking quickly.

After hearing what Wei He said, Ji Yongzhao was about to raise his hand holding the teacup, but it froze slightly in the air. Then he turned to look at Wei He, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, and said: "In just these few years, such a person has appeared in the world? Is this true or false? Has the information been confirmed?"

"All true."

Wei He spoke in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this boy is still in the Marrow Cleansing Stage, but he can practice such martial arts. If he enters the Blood Exchange Stage in the future, the threat will be immeasurable..."

Ji Yong looked at the clear teacup in his hand, looked at his own face reflected in the cup, and then gently shook the cup, causing the tea in the cup to ripple, and said:
"interesting."

"He has trained his martial body to this level through the use of Qiankun Dao. I'm afraid his internal organs have been trained to an unprecedented level. I thought that no one in this area would be able to reach that level in tens of thousands of years. I never thought that there is such a person who can reach it, and he has not yet entered the stage of blood exchange. It seems that I have awakened at the right time."

Ji Yongzhao cast his gaze towards the blue sky outside the palace. His eyes were as deep as a deep pool, and he spoke in a mocking tone:
"Destiny?"

"I am the destiny!"
