Chapter 3553 The New Emperor's Fortune

The first thing Zhang Xuezhou noticed when he opened his eyes was that 20% of his magical power had been released, and the second thing was that he noticed the voices of Ren Anran.

Although her accent was somewhat strange, Ren Anran did possess basic communication skills.

The time was not long, only fifteen days.

For learning a foreign language, being able to communicate fluently in fifteen days is already quite good, especially for Ren Anran who was learning without any reference materials.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you take the first step, things become easier and the progress even gets faster.

Yi Shuo's treatment was similar. Initially, her treatment level was insufficient, but after repeated attempts, her efficiency improved, which led to Zhang Xuezhou's current physical condition.

"wonderful!"

Ren Anran had a half-smile, while Yi Shuo's face flushed red.

After waking up, Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly praised the experience and then looked himself over.

“Now that my physical body has reached sainthood, how could your silver needles possibly pierce my skin?” Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

“When Yi Shuo treated you, she no longer used external techniques, but rather a method involving the circulation of internal energy through countless acupoints, which allowed you to merge your Yin and Yang and neutralize the power of locking Yang,” Ren Anran said.

“That sounds a bit far-fetched,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"You can think of it as Yi Shuo drawing your magical power into her body to purify it, which is somewhat similar to a blood transfusion of genetic sequences!"

Ren Anran changed the language to explain, and Zhang Xuezhou was still a little confused, but he didn't delve into such matters. After all, everyone has their own expertise, and it was normal that he couldn't do what Yi Shuo could do. The matter could be completely entrusted to Yi Shuo to complete.

According to Ren Anran and Yi Shuo's communication, the two have gotten along very well over the past two weeks.

Zhang Xuezhou also didn't want to joke between the two, lest he show favoritism and cause problems.

"The situation over there..."

He briefly introduced Ren Anran's physical condition and then recounted some related events in the real world.

"The rituals offered a new way out by the Allied Nations, can the Han Dynasty also perform such rituals?"

Ren Anran was not surprised by the condition of her physical body; everything was within her expectations. However, the opportunity brought by the Void Heaven Palace surprised her somewhat. Perhaps she wouldn't need Zhu Jiuyin's help in the future; after a few attempts, she might be able to return to the Second Heavenly Sinkhole simultaneously with Zhang Xuezhou.

The world is changing and developing at a rapid pace, which inevitably makes it difficult for many people to keep up, even for Ren Anran.

If there is any opportunity hidden in this, Ren Anran and Naggus are no different; they all want to accompany Zhang Xuezhou to seek different possibilities, thereby increasing their ability to cope with risks and opportunities.

"That's a bit difficult!"

The new emperor chose to strike at the Prince of Yan as a means of adjustment, but Zhang Xuezhou chose very few targets.

Given his current physical abilities, the Prince of Yan is nothing more than a nobody to him; even if you drain his blood three times, you won't get anything substantial out of him.

This is no different from the principle that cultivators take medicine at different stages. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the demand for pills, and low-level pills can no longer play a significant role.

Within the scope designated by Zhang Xuezhou, the King of Huainan was one of the objects of sacrifice. However, Zhang Xuezhou could not kill the King of Huainan in one blow at the moment, and the King of Huainan had the support of the Huainan Kingdom, which could very likely lead to further entanglements, making it difficult to say what he would gain or lose.

If he were to persuade the new emperor to take action against the Prince of Huainan, the new emperor's skill in using magic would be inferior to that of the Prince of Huainan. This would force Zhang Xuezhou to reveal his true abilities in using magic, and he would find it difficult to explain the various aspects of his own magic.

Unless he chooses to leave Chang'an after defeating the King of Huainan, it will be very difficult for him to get along with the new emperor.

Next, it was time to deal with Qin Shi Huang. Zhang Xuezhou didn't know whether he could kill Qin Shi Huang or Qin Shi Huang would kill him.

As for the next level, it involves the emperors of powerful states like the Xiongnu Chanyu. Whenever Zhang Xuezhou sets up battle flags and sacrifices the enemy, there is a certain probability that he will achieve real-world results.

"It seems that only this fierce kingdom is an easy target!"

“He’s my senior brother’s father, so I have to give him some face. I can’t go too far!” Ren Anran made her judgment. When Zhang Xuezhou complained, she felt that the method of using sacrifices to seize luck had reached a dead end.

"If we hadn't killed your senior brother's father, things could still have been done, right?"

When Yi Shuo asked a question, Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran exchanged a glance and suddenly understood.

The target remains unchanged. As long as the opponent isn't killed, breaking the deadlock by borrowing luck shouldn't be a big problem.

The risks of going to the Celestial Court are unknown, and breaking the deadlock and confronting Hongjun requires not only personal strength, but also a favorable opportunity.

Even if the journey is imminent, proper transportation can ensure that the work is done efficiently.

"I'll make a trip to Hexi to see if I can find the Great Chanyu!"

Even disregarding Zhang Xuezhou's rapid speed, he would still pass through Hexi and Henan provinces on his way to the Celestial Court, so a proper search would not be a problem.

He was the kind of person who acted on his word. After a simple meal to replenish his energy, Zhang Xuezhou took the order and headed to the inner treasury.

He had previously retrieved some Five Elements Array Flags from the imperial treasury, but those flags were later blasted to pieces by the Demon-Revealing Mirror, so he had to choose again.

"Oh, Your Majesty has found the sword?"

Before the new emperor had even touched two of the battle flags, he arrived with great enthusiasm, carrying a sword case on his back.

"Hahaha!"

The new emperor didn't care about Zhang Xuezhou's teasing, but instead laughed heartily, pointing to the sword rack a dozen meters away.

"Not only swords, but I also have a son now!"

The new emperor laughed heartily.

The coal mine found in the past finally came into play, and a batch of newly forged swords were produced in Princess Pingyang's mansion. At the same time, more than ten other swords were also created, including those made according to the new emperor's requirements.

If collecting all four swords was something to celebrate, then Lady Wei giving birth to a prince put many people at ease, and even the new emperor had fewer worries.

"Taking advantage of the good fortune brought by defeating the Prince of Yan, shall we join forces today to slay the Nine-Headed Lion Saint?"

The new emperor flicked the newly forged longsword at his waist. He was in high spirits and wished that the Nine-Headed Lion Saint would appear in Chang'an City so that he could kill him cleanly and decisively.

The birth of the sword formation domain power did give him confidence. The Prajna Heart Sutra, which he had cultivated to the sixth level, was barely enough. Moreover, he was currently full of luck, and the new emperor wanted to take advantage of the Yan King's defeat to make the most of it.

His actions were somewhat similar to Zhang Xuezhou's; regardless of whether things would succeed or not, he just went with the flow.

However, finding the Nine-Headed Lion is a difficult task. The long journey is not something that can be reached by carriage or horse, and there are many troubles in traveling by land. It is difficult to carry out an assassination without air power.

The new emperor, however eager, had no choice but to wait for Zhang Xuezhou to come to his senses.

He waited for Zhang Xuezhou to wake up precisely on time, and went to find Zhang Xuezhou on time. After obtaining the information, he and Zhang Xuezhou arrived at the Imperial Treasury almost one after the other.

"Great idea, let's give it a try!"

Zhang Xuezhou was the first to congratulate the new emperor on his good fortune. He did not reject the emperor's proposal, since finding the Great Chanyu of the Fiend Kingdom was not in conflict with killing the Nine-Headed Lion Saint.

"When will that be? I'm already eager to fight Jiuling," the new emperor said.

“I can fly faster myself, so I’ll go ahead and check the situation. You can make preparations, and we’ll set off together later,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Row!"

The new emperor couldn't find fault with Zhang Xuezhou, and Zhang Xuezhou's way of doing things wasn't wrong either, after all, flying alone and controlling the Imperial Shuttle are two different things.

If Zhang Xuezhou could investigate first, it would save the two of them from aimlessly wandering around on the Imperial Shuttle, and they could achieve their goal more efficiently.
