Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 542: Tian Zhan recognizes his master, an outsider
Inside the sword pavilion.

The phantom stood still, and the gaze under the crown changed from indifference to depth, as if the stars were rolling back and the years were rushing.

He looked at the young man in the bloodstained green robe in front of him, and suddenly burst into laughter, his voice shaking the whole area, like thunder rolling through the ages.

"What a saying, 'The world is happy because I am here'!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of a sword coming down from the sky in the hall, like the roar of a dragon or the howl of thunder.

In the city of Apocalypse, the situation was turbulent and strange phenomena were occurring.

Inside the Imperial Observatory, the Imperial Master Qi Tianchen suddenly stroked his beard and sighed. When he looked towards the Sword Pavilion, there was some emotion in his eyes.

“He succeeded.”

The Confucian swordsman Xie Xuan sat aside, shook his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"He made a bigger noise than I did!!"

Qi Tianchen stood up and walked to the window.

"The most difficult part of Jian Ge is actually the question of conscience. Yong'an Prince Xiao Chuhe inherited the temperament of Langya Prince. Although he acts uprightly, he has too much martial arts spirit. If he were the emperor, he would probably not be welcomed by the emperor."

The Confucian Sword Immortal put down the scroll in his hand, stood up and said: "Old Immortal, emperors are never the same. Some are arrogant and domineering, some are cautious, some have a broad mind, and some are selfish. Now that we are in Beili, and there are those young people, why not give it a try?"

Qi Tianchen's heart moved quietly, as if he had gained something.

"The world belongs to everyone in the world, not just one person. Dynasties have been changing for thousands of years. What kind of emperor has not experienced this?"

"Old Immortal, can the rise and fall of a country really only depend on one person?"

Qi Tianchen stroked his beard again and said no more words. How could he not see through what Xie Xuan could see through?
At the same time, in Tianqi City, almost everyone saw the sudden strange phenomenon in the city. Xiao Chong narrowed his eyes, and the still very weak sword intent in his body suddenly boiled.

"Sixth brother succeeded!!"

But when Xiao Chong said this, a trace of suspicion flashed across his eyes. In the way of martial arts, Xiao Se's talent was naturally beyond doubt, but the affairs of the court were full of twists and turns and intrigues, which was absolutely unbearable for Xiao Se with his temper.

Although he had never passed through Jiange, he had heard Jinyan mention its mysteries. The most difficult level was the Bureau of Questioning Conscience.

In those days, Langya King Xiao Ruofeng also passed through Jiange, but he failed in the end and stopped at the last level of the conscience-questioning game.

Later, he laughed and said that what he longed for was not the officialdom, his world was in the martial arts world, and from then on he never mentioned the past in Jiange again.

The young Xiao Se had been training with the King of Langya, and his ideas and temperament were in line with the King of Langya, so when he saw Xiao Se successfully pass the level today, he was naturally extremely surprised.

In the Sword Pavilion, the sound still echoed.

"What a saying 'life should be a blade'!"

The shadow suddenly raised his hand, and a golden light burst out from his sleeve, turning into an ancient long sword hanging in front of Xiao Se. The sword was not unsheathed, but it caused the surrounding space to distort and tremble. The seal script "Heaven Slash" was engraved on the sword guard.

"I discussed this issue with Mr. Li before, but we never got an answer."

"If the world was not in trouble, why would I raise an army?"

"yes!!"

"It's this world that's wrong!!"

Xiao Se looked puzzled. He had just clearly felt that he had failed in the last stage of the self-examination. Why did the Heavenly Slash sword end up in his hands?

“Ancestor… what do you mean?” The shadow gradually faded, but the voice became clearer: “Since you don’t want to be the chess player, then be the one who lifts the chessboard!”

"I really want to see the world from your perspective."

In the palace, Zhuoqing walked in again with the secret report.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has successfully entered the Sword Pavilion!!"

Jian Ge belongs to the Xiao family, but is independent of the royal family. Anyone who has not passed the training in Jian Ge will never be able to draw the Heavenly Slash.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde Xiao Ruojin's crown on his head shook slightly, and he clenched the armrests of the dragon throne with both hands.

Jiange, the Xiao family’s trial place.

It is also the place where the emperor's crown is obtained. The children of the Xiao family who pass the trial in Jiange are destined to become the next emperor.

“He has finally grown up.”

Emperor Mingde sighed softly. Xiao Se left Tianqi and roamed the world, making many friends. He thought that Xiao Se would go further and further on the road of the world and eventually be completely separated from the court. Unexpectedly, Xiao Se gave him a surprise today.

"Your Majesty, no matter what the Sixth Prince's temperament is, the fact that he was able to pass the trial in the Sword Pavilion is enough to prove that he is capable of shouldering this responsibility."

Zhuoqing stood aside and replied respectfully.

When Emperor Mingde heard this, he snorted.

"I'm not dead yet!!"

Zhuoqing stood aside with his head bowed, and no one noticed the smile on the lips of this former eunuch in the shadows.

If it were before, Emperor Mingde would be very happy to hear this news, because in his heart, Xiao Chuhe was the ideal successor.

but now.
As someone who was close to him, he understood Emperor Mingde's thoughts too well. Although his body was beyond recovery, the other party's ambition expanded infinitely after knowing that there were immortals in the world.

Princes Xiao Chong and Xiao Yu broke through to the Free and Easy Heaven Realm with the help of a group of people in the Divine Wandering Profound Realm. The impulse in his heart began to grow wildly without limit like weeds.

Longevity
This absurd and ridiculous idea has made many emperors lose face, and now it is his turn.

Zhuoqing knew clearly that his words, if used at this moment, would not only fail to make Emperor Mingde happy, but would make him more fearful.

What would a successor who was recognized by the founding emperor mean to the court and to the entire Beili?

During the previous few contacts, Zhuoqing had clearly felt that the Prince of Yong'an had a faint murderous intention towards him. Of course, he also guessed the reason.

Although he didn't know the specific details, the other party should have known the truth about what happened that year. So under such circumstances, how could he let the other party get what he wanted?
If Xiao Chuhe came to power, the first person he would deal with would probably be him.

The conversation in front of him seemed to be in line with Emperor Mingde's intention, but in fact it was a move of retreat in order to advance. Emperor Mingde had a preference for him, but this preference was based on the premise that the other party would not threaten his position.

But the current situation has broken through that limitation. So, when he brings up this matter again, it will surely arouse the fear of Emperor Mingde.

Inside the hall, it was quiet. Emperor Mingde supported his chin with his left hand and tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the dragon throne with his right hand. The tapping sound was intermittent, just like Emperor Mingde's mood at the moment. At this time, he seemed to not know what attitude he should use to face the emperor's son whom he once valued.

Suddenly, the knocking sound stopped and Zhuoqing narrowed his eyes. He knew that Emperor Mingde should have an answer to this matter.

"Zhuoqing, ask Jinxian to come over. I have something for him to do!!"
