Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Although the Li family seems to have many inherited skills, there is still a certain gap compared with the real big forces.

Forces that have been passed down for many years have at least three different inherited skills, and they are all intact.

The reason for doing so is mainly to prevent outsiders from discovering the flaws in their skills and targeting them, leading to their own destruction.

Such situations have occurred more than once in the long history of the Yuanling Realm!
The most famous incident was when a certain celestial immortal sect was completely annihilated by another celestial immortal force because they were practicing a certain technique and were attacked at their weak point.

From then on, any force in the Yuanling Realm with a little bit of foundation and strength would try to find ways to obtain new inherited skills to avoid the situation of family destruction and death.

However, after Asan achieved the status of a human immortal, his horizons broadened as his realm broke through, and he also gained a deeper understanding of the way of earthly immortals.

After a period of seclusion, he sorted out the most complete Taoist practice at present and made certain changes to his own blessed land.

If you compare before and after, you will find that not only has the space become larger, but the spiritual energy has also become richer, as if you have completed a promotion.

At the same time, Asan's body, as the carrier of the cave, also received feedback in this process, which consolidated its foundation.

I'm afraid many people would not have thought that the Earth Immortal Dao, which has been widely spread in the outside world and practiced by countless creatures, had its founder actually break through to the human immortal realm not long ago.

But from another perspective, we can see the advantages and disadvantages of Asan. However, Sanxianjing has created a new way of cultivation, and it is also sought after by a large number of creatures.

The growth of the Li family naturally could not be concealed from the surrounding forces.

But after knowing it was Asan, I didn't pay much attention to it, because the restrictions on human immortals in the earthly immortal path are too great.

If he were in the blessed land, his strength might be able to defeat a late-stage human immortal, but once he leaves, his strength will decrease instead of increase.

Is there any need to pay attention to this kind of human immortal?

Of course, only the disciples of Dongyuan Sect have this idea. Other forces near Wanxian Mountain do not have the confidence and courage to look down on a human immortal cultivator.

Besides, the Li family has developed for so many years and has become a small overlord in the vicinity. Except for a few forces, all others have become vassals of the Li family. How dare they say anything wrong?

-

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

There was a new group of teenagers in their early teens in the Great Zhou Palace, running around and playing.

They are the children born by the concubines back then.

The emperor of the time also entered old age, and his hair began to turn gray, but he still stood straight and proud, like a tough green bamboo.

"What have my stupid sons done during this period of time?" the Emperor said to Fu Hai, the eunuch who had been with him for decades.

"Your Majesty, the princes did not cause much noise."

"Huh! Even at this time, you are still hiding it for them."

The Emperor shook his head and said nothing, because he knew that it was indeed difficult for the other party to answer this question, and he also knew what was going on.

"I haven't even died yet, but you've already started recruiting soldiers and waving flags, and you can't wait to sit in this position. You really deserve to be my offspring."

At the end of his speech, he didn't know what tone to use to express his feelings about the matter.

"Father!"

At this time, Zhou Maochang, the thirteenth son of the Emperor and Concubine Chen, came to greet them with his younger brothers and sisters, like a little adult.

"Chang'er, cough."

The Emperor looked at the offspring in front of him, who combined all the advantages of him and Concubine Chen, and felt a hint of pride in his heart.

"Father, the weather is getting colder. You must take care of yourself. When Chang'er grows up, he will definitely be filial to you." Zhou Maochang, who was pretending to be an adult, suddenly panicked and said quickly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

The emperor looked at Zhou Maochang, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

But the next moment, he smashed it on the spot and pretended that nothing had happened.

The emperor was about to say a few words of greeting when he was interrupted by the eunuch who suddenly arrived. He shouted breathlessly: "Your Majesty, it's bad! Something terrible has happened!"

"Speak!" The emperor's face was cold.

"The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince fought in the street for a woman. The Third Prince accidentally beat the Fifth Prince and nearly killed him. Fortunately, the resigned imperial physician was nearby, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, the temperature around him suddenly dropped a lot.

"Good good!"

The Emperor laughed in anger and shouted, "What a bunch of rubbish! Assholes! They killed each other for a woman! And they almost killed their own brother!"

"Come here, issue an order immediately to deprive the third and fifth princes of their inheritance rights and place them under house arrest for three years. During this period, they are not allowed to step out of the door even once!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

As for the severity of the Fifth Prince's injuries, he didn't even ask a single question.

Zhou Maochang took his brothers and sisters away from here. After sending them back, he finally couldn't help laughing in the cave.

Not only will he lose two powerful competitors, but it will also serve as a warning to his other brothers. They will have to hold themselves back for a few more years, and by then he will have grown up and could participate in the competition for the throne.

Before he came of age, he only needed to maintain the image of being friendly to his brothers and respectful to his elders, especially the Emperor, and not be negligent in the slightest.

Zhou Maochang performed very well and became a good person in the hearts of all his brothers and sisters.

The most important thing is that I got the recognition and praise from my father!

……

The person who taught Zhou Maochang to do this and hid behind him was Li Zhirui.

Although he felt that the progress was still a little too slow, there was no other way. After all, he could not speed up the passage of time and could only wait quietly for him to grow up.

Of course, he only came up with some ideas and thoughts, but the ones who actually took action were the disciples of Da Zhoushan Sect.

After all, as an immortal cultivator, Li Zhirui was restricted everywhere in the territory of the Great Zhou and was unable to display his true strength.

If it weren't for those earth-immortal-level spiritual objects, and if it wasn't for the fact that this was also a special kind of experience that he vaguely felt would be helpful to his own cultivation, he would not have wasted his time staying in the Great Zhou.

In particular, his cultivation level, which had been unable to break through for many years, actually showed a slight fluctuation under the suppression of the Humanitarian Law Network. Although it was very weak, it still made Li Zhirui very excited.

-

As spring goes and autumn comes, several years have passed.

Zhou Maochang, who was highly expected by the Great Zhou Mountain Sect, finally came of age this year! After several years of suppression by the emperor, the fights among the princes became more intense.

There is no other reason. Just to seize the supreme power and the incomparably powerful strength is worth their bloodshed fight.

It was not until this moment that the Emperor realized that he had lost control of the situation!

He was still high and mighty, but in the court, the officials belonging to him were no longer the majority, and he began to lose power!
There is only one reason for this, that is, he is old and will not live for many years. Those ministers are unwilling to continue to be tied to this giant tree that is about to wither and decay.

Whether they want to make further progress in the court or for the continuation of their family, they need to rely on a younger, next emperor!
"Good, good, good! You really are worthy of being my good son. You have achieved this point without realizing it." The emperor sneered, but he felt a chill in his heart.

The hall was silent, with only two princes in python robes standing at the front on both sides, with their heads bowed, without any movement.

Originally there were some officials who were royalists, but when they saw this scene, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, but in the end they still did not dare to say anything.

"Cough cough cough..."

A violent coughing sounded throughout the hall. The emperor felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest and he could not breathe. He nodded with difficulty to Fu Hai, who had been with him for decades.

"Retreat!"

As soon as the great dynasty was over, the emperor's extremely poor health condition spread quickly throughout the capital as if it had wings, and was still spreading rapidly outward.

"It's bad! The first and fourth princes tried to force the emperor to abdicate during the grand court session. The emperor was so angry that he almost fainted, but now he is bedridden!"

The disciples of Dazhou Mountain Sect immediately told Li Zhirui the important news, hoping that he could come up with a countermeasure.

Otherwise, everything they have done over the past decade will be in vain!
"Now it depends on whether Zhou Maochang's respect for the current emperor is true or false on weekdays." Li Zhirui murmured.

"what?"

The disciple thought he had heard wrongly. Should they do nothing and pin their hopes on the emperor's conscience?
"Send someone to tell Zhou Maochang right now. If the emperor asks him if he wants to take that position, he must not refuse! If not, he can just serve as a normal attendant as usual!"

Li Zhirui said seriously: "This is a great opportunity for you to gain access to power!"

"Okay!" The disciple left instantly.

This emperor is no fool. He must have noticed that Zhou Maochang has the support of the Da Zhou Mountain Sect. It depends on whether he knows the Da Zhou Mountain Sect's ambitions.

If he knew, he would not choose Zhou Maochang even if he had to choose between the eldest prince and the fourth prince who made him so angry that he was bedridden.

But if you don’t know, then the possibility of choosing Zhou Maochang is very high!
Because he was the most arrogant and proud person, and was forced into such an embarrassing situation by his two heirs, if he had no other choice, he would never have chosen them.

On the other hand, the emperor sent someone to summon Zhou Maochang to attend to his illness.

"Please wait a moment while I change my clothes."

"Please hurry up, Your Highness!"

"understood."

Zhou Maochang changed his clothes while waiting for news.

But no one came for a long time. Fortunately, when he was about to leave the room, he heard a secret signal, which made him feel relieved.

"Your Highness, if His Majesty asks you if you want to be the emperor when he summons you this time, you must nod your head and say yes, but don't act too anxious. If he doesn't ask, then you should just serve the emperor obediently, and don't do anything else, and don't ask!"

The disciple said quickly: "Remember, remember!"

"I see!"

"Your Highness, please hurry up!" The young eunuch on the other side saw that Zhou Maochang had not shown up yet and could not help but urge him.

"coming."

The disciple looked through the screen window at the backs of the group leaving and murmured, "I hope it will succeed!"

……

"Chang'er, are you willing to bear the life and death of all people and hold this supreme power?"

As soon as the emperor saw Zhou Maochang, he said bluntly: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will never pass the throne to those two rebellious sons!"

Besides, the power held by those two people is almost the same. If it is passed to one of them, the other will definitely not accept it. By then, a massive internal fight will probably break out in the Great Zhou!

But if it was passed on to Zhou Maochang, there would not be so many concerns.

First of all, the ministers who have not yet surrendered to those two people will definitely move closer to Zhou Maochang. After all, if they join now, their status will be much higher than joining the camps of the other two princes.

In addition, the imperial guards who defend the capital and a series of absolutely loyal border army generals controlled by the emperor will also be handed over to Zhou Maochang.

With them around, even if there is chaos within the Great Zhou, the core hinterland can be protected and external forces can be prevented from intervening.

Finally, it was Zhou Maochang’s own strength, taught by Da Zhoushan!
The Emperor knew that the Great Zhou Mountain Sect was secretly supporting him, but he didn't take it too seriously before. But now it has become an important force that may change the Great Zhou.

"Father, I am willing to do so. But I am still young and need your guidance. Your health is more important to me." Zhou Maochang hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Chang'er is thoughtful, but father is too old, and it's time for him to die." The emperor already knew clearly that he would not live long.

"Father!" Zhou Maochang wailed, tears continuously flowing out, soon wetting the mattress.

"But before I die, Father will help you clear some obstacles. This is the last thing Father can do for you. You have to solve the rest by yourself."

"No! Father, I want you to live well."

It is said that the royal family has no family affection, but Zhou Maochang has been loved since he was born. After more than ten years of living together, how could there be no affection?

"Let father clear the obstacles for you!"

The emperor closed his eyes, and the next moment, a terrifying force burst out from his body. Although it was the setting sun, it still emitted a heat that was impossible to approach.

"The ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty are here. The 37th Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Honghu, now appoints his 13th son, Zhou Maochang, as the Crown Prince!"

Of course, a normal enthronement ceremony is not so simple, but there is no other way now, so we have to do this.

boom--

There was a roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the imperial dragon energy manifested, and suddenly a wisp of it flew out and sank into Zhou Maochang's body.

His cultivation level in the mortal realm also improved rapidly. In the blink of an eye, his body began to exude the aura of the earthly immortal realm!

The Crown Prince of the Great Zhou is an earthly immortal!
At this point, Zhou Maochang became the crown prince of the Great Zhou. Once Zhou Honghu passed away, he would be the rightful heir!
This sudden change caught everyone by surprise.

No one thought that before Zhou Honghu died, he would appoint a crown prince. (End of this chapter)
