Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

The storyteller is now the authority on gossip in the capital.

Every single one of the "stories" he told was true.

Therefore, everyone believed the "story" told by the storyteller.

Those whose secrets were exposed by the storyteller hated him and wanted to silence him forever.

Unfortunately, no one could find a storyteller outside Taibai Tower.

One day, the storyteller began his tale: "This time I'm going to tell you a story about a fairy."

Someone shouted and asked, "Sir, weren't we supposed to be talking about things around us? Why are we talking about demons?"

Another person said, "I love listening to stories about fairies. Aren't they as exciting as Journey to the West?"

The storyteller smiled and said, "The demon I'm about to tell you about is right here among us."

The audience exclaimed, "What? Right here among us?"

Everyone was terrified.

After all, this was ancient times, and everyone believed in the existence of gods and demons.

The storyteller reassured the crowd: "Don't worry, that demon isn't very powerful and can't harm people at will."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved and urged the storyteller to hurry up and start telling the story.

The storyteller said, "This time I'm telling the story of a snake spirit. This snake spirit cultivated for a thousand years, determined to become a dragon. But she wasn't a proper demon cultivator; she ate people. How could Heaven allow her to become a divine dragon? So, this demon devised a shortcut."

One listener hurriedly asked, "What method?"

The storyteller said, "The dragon represents the emperor. The emperor carries the dragon's aura, and the snake spirit wants to absorb the dragon's aura to cultivate."

Everyone gasped in unison: Wasn't the emperor in danger?

The storyteller said, "His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, protected by dragon energy. The snake demon cannot get close to him, nor can it absorb his dragon energy."

Everyone: That's alright.

The storyteller said, "However, apart from the emperor, other members of the royal family also carried the dragon's aura to varying degrees. Thus, the snake spirit killed a certain official's daughter, transformed into her appearance, and married a certain prince..."

"Although this snake spirit is not very powerful, she has a certain level of skill in divination and can predict some things that will happen in the future. With this ability, the snake spirit revealed a lot of heavenly secrets to the prince she married. The prince made arrangements in advance, gained a lot of benefits, and also won the emperor's favor."

"The snake spirit wanted the prince she married to ascend the throne. By then, she had become accustomed to the dragon aura emanating from the prince. The dragon aura not only couldn't harm her, but she could also absorb it."

"However, the Crown Prince still exists in the court, and the throne will not be passed on to that prince."

"The snake spirit then devised a plan to eliminate the crown prince. She suggested that the prince sow discord between the emperor and the crown prince, and she also planted someone by the crown prince's side to drug him. That drug could affect a person's mind, making them irritable, easily angered, paranoid, and impulsive."

"In the end, the Crown Prince's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate failed, and the Prince gained more favor from the emperor. Later, the emperor passed away and passed the throne to the Prince. The Prince became the emperor, and the snake spirit became the empress, allowing her to absorb more dragon energy. However, the Prince lost the protection of the dragon energy, and his health deteriorated significantly. He passed away within ten years and passed the throne to his son."

"The new emperor is not the snake spirit's child; after all, how could a demon have a child with a mortal? But the fact that the new emperor is registered under the snake spirit's name establishes a karmic connection between them, allowing the snake spirit to absorb the new emperor's dragon energy."

"So, not many years later, the new emperor also died due to the lack of dragon energy."

"The young emperor, who was only a few years old, ascended the throne, yet the snake spirit still drained his dragon energy."

"The snake spirit finally transformed into a dragon with the help of dragon energy. However, the country fell into chaos due to the loss of dragon energy, with frequent natural and man-made disasters. In the end, the dynasty came to an end."

The restaurant was quiet.

No one dared to speak.

After all, this involves the emperor and the fall of a nation.

Who dares to speak recklessly?

The storyteller chuckled softly, and then everyone realized he had vanished. He just disappeared right before everyone's eyes?!
Could this storyteller be an immortal?

Otherwise, how could an ordinary person know so many secrets?
In reality, the storyteller, whose lightness skill was too great, returned to his residence, wiped off his makeup, and reverted to the appearance of a teenager.

Liu Tong changed her clothes and went out to gather information.

The story of the storyteller in Taibai Tower being an immortal has spread, along with the so-called story of the snake spirit.

Previously, people dared not discuss it because it involved the royal family, but now that they know the person who spoke about it is a deity, they are no longer afraid of being blamed by the royal family.

If the royal family were to blame someone, wouldn't that offend the gods?
Aren't they afraid of being punished by the gods?

Everyone turned their attention to the residences of the princes, speculating which prince's wife the snake spirit was.

Unfortunately, the Third Prince's wife was quite secretive about what she did, and no one outside knew that she was the "snake spirit" that Liu Tong was talking about.

But outsiders don't know, but the Third Prince does.

The emperor knew it too.

As soon as the story came out, someone went to the palace to report it to the emperor.

The emperor ordered his men to investigate immediately, and they quickly traced the matter back to the Third Prince's wife.

Such a prodigy should definitely be killed quickly. How could we let her absorb the dynasty's dragon energy and cause their country to perish?
The emperor did not issue an explicit decree to kill the Third Prince's wife, but instead gave the Third Prince an order to handle the matter as he saw fit.

The third prince naturally obeyed.

He had no regrets about parting with the Third Prince's wife.

Although the Third Prince's wife helped him a lot, her goal was his imperial aura and his life!
and……

The third prince knew that after this incident, the emperor would absolutely not hand over the throne to him.

The Third Prince hated his wife so much that he personally poured poison into her mouth.

The Third Prince's wife never understood why she had ended up like this, even until her death.

She was about to succeed.

Why is God treating her like this?

If she could do it all over again, she would... she would...

Even if she could do it all over again, she still couldn't defeat the gods!

Damn it, why did the gods have to ruin her plans?
Could it be that the Prince of Jingbei is a man of destiny, destined to become emperor?
She blocked the path of the Prince of Jingbei, so she was punished by the gods?
She was absolutely right, but unfortunately there was no reward, and no chance to do it again.

With the death of the Third Prince's wife, Liu Tong felt a sense of relief wash over her, as if the burden on her shoulders had disappeared.

After that, he didn't have to do anything else.

After his luck returned, everything went smoothly for Prince Jingbei.

Even if the emperor did not pass the throne to him in the end, Prince Jingbei was eventually able to ascend to that position on his own.

Liu Dong left the capital and returned to the border town.

His return brought a sigh of relief to the Pei family.

They were really afraid that their child would have an accident on the way.

Liu Dong stayed in the border town pretending to be a good boy, while the three Pei brothers fought hard for the Prince of Jingbei.

And so, five years have passed. (End of Chapter)
