Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 1071 is too sad.
Seeing the Northern Empress's devout expression, Zhang Haoran couldn't help but think to himself, "Damn! We don't even know how effective this Holy Light Healing Spell is, but this scene is certainly deceptive."

If this were performed in a Western country on Earth, it would definitely attract a lot of believers.

However, why do I feel like I'm looking more like a charlatan now?

The effects of the fifth-tier Holy Light Healing Spell were truly remarkable; the Northern Imperial Consort's aura gradually stabilized.

The Northern Emperor's expression kept changing, first showing surprise, then worry, and the worry on his face did not fade even after the treatment was completed.

He knew the Northern Empress's condition very well; it was impossible for him to cure her so easily.

The Nine Emperors and Four Sovereigns were no pushovers either. When they were trying to save the Earthly Empress, they used all sorts of secret techniques, some of which had similar therapeutic effects. They even used some extremely precious natural treasures, but in the end, the Earthly Empress still died.

The Northern Empress appears to be in good condition, but that's just an illusion. The predetermined fate of Heaven is not so easily resolved.

Sure enough, after the holy light dissipated, the Northern Empress's face turned pale again, but her condition was much better than before.

Previously, the Northern Empress was on the verge of death, and could die at any moment.

Now he's back to being sickly, but judging from the looks of it, he should be able to live for at least another month or so.

Zhang Haoran was quite satisfied with the treatment results. Looking at the stiff smile on Bei Huang's face, he said nonchalantly, "Don't worry! This is only the first treatment!"
It's already quite impressive that it has achieved such good results!
Please allow me a moment to recover. Using this technique is very taxing. We can try again in ten minutes.

Don't worry! The next treatment will be even more effective. With a few more visits, it might even be completely cured.

The reason he had to wait ten minutes was because there was nothing he could do; all the skills he learned through the system had a cooldown period.

Moreover, this cooldown time will not disappear as the level increases; on the contrary, the time will be extended.

At this moment, the Northern Imperial Consort's condition had improved somewhat, and she was able to sit up on her own. She said weakly, "My husband, you don't need to worry too much. I'm much better now and can stay with you for a while longer..."

The Northern Emperor immediately stepped forward to support the Northern Empress, forcing a stiff smile as he said, "My dear consort, you have just recovered from a serious illness, please do not get up. Rest for a while, and this young friend and I still need to discuss the treatment plan."

You will receive another treatment in ten minutes.

The Northern Empress was also a shrewd woman. She smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

The Northern Emperor gave a low shout: "Guards! Take good care of the Imperial Consort. I'll be right back."

The palace maids who had been hiding outside the palace immediately returned to their chambers. The first thing the Northern Empress ordered them to do was to wash, dress, and tidy their appearance.

A group of palace maids immediately busied themselves around the Northern Imperial Consort.

Seeing this, Zhang Haoran was speechless. "Women! No matter what, they always have to present themselves in the most beautiful way."

The situation had just started to improve, and instead of taking a proper rest, she immediately got dressed up.

The Northern Emperor suddenly approached and pulled him towards the outside of the main hall.

Zhang Haoran was a little confused. What the hell is going on now?

Could this be a complete replica of the Northern Imperial Palace? Besides this main hall, are there other buildings?
The two had already left the palace, and the surrounding scenery changed, returning them to the bronze hall.

Zhang Haoran asked, somewhat confused, "What's going on? Why did you dispel the scene?"

Didn't you say that if the scene is reset, the Northern Empress's condition will also be restored? Then wasn't all my previous efforts wasted?

What exactly do you mean?

The Northern Emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as we leave the main hall, the scene will not reset, and there will be no changes when we return. The Imperial Concubine will remain in her current state."

He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "However, I think the next treatment won't be very effective."

At most, this can improve the princess's condition somewhat, but it can't completely cure her. This method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Do you have any other options?

The Northern Emperor knew that he had many unique methods, and he was very much looking forward to them. The Holy Light Healing Technique was already very effective, comparable to some secret techniques used by emperors.

For an emperor to unleash a secret technique, he must pay a heavy price, while the opponent can do so every ten minutes. At this moment, hope truly rose in the heart of the Northern Emperor.

Zhang Haoran didn't quite understand what the Northern Emperor meant. Since the Holy Light Healing Spell was effective, the situation should be getting better and better. What was he worried about?
However, he didn't ask immediately, knowing he would find out during the next treatment. So he said casually, "Of course I have other methods!"
However, the key to treating illness is to prescribe the right medicine for the right symptoms.

Since the Northern Empress's condition is so serious, we must proceed step by step. I will first heal her injuries to prevent her from being too weak to handle the nourishment, and then replenish her vitality. That should be enough.

"I can only heal the Northern Empress's injuries and guarantee she won't perish anytime soon. As for restoring her strength, that's something you'll have to figure out yourself."

The Northern Emperor shook his head and said, "Things are not that simple. Otherwise, we, as emperors who possess the Heavenly Court, would not be helpless."

This is the will of Heaven; the injuries are merely an outward manifestation. The reason the imperial concubine is in this state is because her vital essence has been lost.

Your Holy Light heals injuries well, but it cannot make up for the missing essence.

Zhang Haoran said irritably, "Nonsense! The origin is not so easy to make up for."

Now I'm a doctor, my only responsibility is to heal the patient's injuries!

"You'll have to figure out a way to restore your original strength and cultivation level yourself."

He had previously investigated the situation of the Northern Empress, and the price to pay for a complete solution would be too high.

He feigned dissatisfaction and said, "Besides, our previous agreement was only to save the Northern Princess Consort. Isn't she out of danger now?"

Use holy light a few more times to heal her injuries, and the mission will be complete.

It's already quite good that Lao Tzu was able to govern to this extent. If people's hearts are not exhausted, then there's no point in continuing.

"I don't believe Mo Wenjian and Daoshu could do better than me. Didn't they still clear the game?"

This means that he hopes the Northern Emperor will not push his luck. He does have some other ways to improve the Northern Empress's condition, such as the Vitality Talisman and the Longevity Pill, but these methods are not necessarily safe.

He didn't want to work so hard only to end up falling out with the other party.

Besides, this wasn't his responsibility to begin with; he had already saved the Northern Princess as promised.

As for solving the problem at its root, that's another matter, and it requires paying an additional price.

To think that you can completely solve the problem with just one Golden Body Technique is to be fooled.

The Northern Emperor was an ancient being who had lived for tens of thousands of years, and this projection had existed for even longer, so he naturally understood what he meant. He sighed and said, "Alas! I was too greedy! But who wouldn't want their beloved to have a better life? I hope you can understand, young friend."

This Golden Body Technique can be considered a reward for this effort.

I hope you can continue to treat the Imperial Concubine.

The Northern Emperor was quite sensible and directly gave away the Golden Body Technique. In any case, according to normal standards, it could keep the Northern Empress alive for another month, which would be considered a success.

Zhang Haoran took the Golden Body Technique and said with satisfaction, "Continuing the treatment is no problem. I will never go back on my promise!"
We, the new martial artists, are very trustworthy.

"Since I said I would save the Northern Empress, I will do my best." He just didn't want the Northern Emperor to push his luck, and he had no intention of giving up.

After a brief examination, I found that the Golden Body Technique is indeed a good set of exercises.

Among all the emperors, the Northern Emperor's blood, spirit, and golden body were not particularly outstanding, yet he still became an emperor, so he must have something to offer.

This Golden Body Technique is a very comprehensive practice that leaves no weaknesses after cultivation, making it very suitable for widespread application.

Since his skill cooldown hadn't expired yet, he decided to ask the other party for advice on cultivation, since the other party was an emperor and had much more knowledge than him.

When the Northern Emperor needed someone's help, he would offer guidance with all his heart.

However, these old-fashioned people never want to suffer losses.

After giving him some pointers, he suddenly asked, "How is Ling'er doing now? Could you tell me about her?"

He didn't get any information about Yue Ling from Dao Shu and Mo Wenjian, so he wanted to inquire with Zhang Haoran.

Dao Shu entered the boundary point very early on, so it's normal that he didn't know about Yue Ling's situation.

However, it is unusual that Mo Wenjian, who entered the boundary a thousand years ago, has never heard of Yue Ling.

When Zhang Haoran heard the other party ask about Yue Ling, his expression immediately turned strange.

He didn't know how to answer. Should he tell the truth?

Will the Northern Emperor go berserk when he hears about Yue Ling's tragic fate?

However, he disdained to lie about such things, mainly because he was afraid that the other party would see through his lies, since he was not as good at deceiving as Fang Ping.

He was about to give a perfunctory reply, since Fang Ping would be entering the boundary soon anyway, making it more suitable for him to deceive the Northern Emperor, and he might even gain some benefits from it.

But before he could speak, the Northern Emperor said seriously, "I want to hear the truth. I can see that Ling'er has not perished, otherwise you wouldn't have this expression."

Even if things get worse, it won't get too bad.

In fact, he was already mentally prepared when he asked these questions. The fact that Mo Wenjian, a genius of an era, had never heard of the Northern Emperor's own daughter and the Emperor's daughter-in-law, meant that her situation was definitely not good.

"Damn, you could tell that? What was my expression? Was it that obvious? These old guys are too cunning!"

Zhang Haoran had just shown a surprised expression when he immediately realized what was happening.

"wrong!"

"This is still a test!"

“Bei Huang couldn’t see anything before, but his reaction just now has confirmed Yue Ling’s condition.”

"Damn it, these old foxes are too cunning. They have one trap after another, and you can easily fall into their trap if you're not careful."

"Yes! Yue Ling is still alive!"

Since the other party had already figured it out, he simply admitted it, since it wasn't a big deal anyway.

The Northern Emperor immediately pressed on, "How is Ling'er doing now?"

Zhang Haoran was conflicted. He knew he wasn't good at lying, but if he told Bei Huang the truth, could the treatment continue?

Should I tell him that his true form turned his own daughter into a life seed, which could be harvested at any time, leading to his complete annihilation and utter destruction?

After falling from the Heavenly Court, Yue Ling was abandoned by her husband and waited alone on Wangwu Mountain for eight thousand years until she went mad!

In particular, recently, the disciples of the Emperor appeared one after another, and in order to unify the territory, they drove Wangwu Mountain Cave Heaven overseas.

If all of this were revealed, the Northern Emperor Projection would probably go absolutely crazy.

Just thinking about it made his heart ache. The once beloved daughter of two emperors had fallen into such a miserable state. He truly couldn't bring himself to say it.

Besides, revealing the truth now might ruin Fang Ping's chance. How could he learn the Golden Body Technique if he didn't expose these bombshells? He couldn't guarantee that he would ever meet Fang Ping again.

Zhang Haoran opened his mouth, but in the end he said helplessly, "I can only tell you that Yue Ling is still alive!"

She forged jade bones, and also possessed two divine weapons, the Earth Emperor Sword and the Northern Emperor Blade.

Before coming here, I fought alongside Yue Ling against an Emperor. We won and received a lot of compensation. Yue Ling's cultivation level was previously at the peak of Breaking Six, and now it should be Breaking Seven.

Her past situation was indeed not good, which was related to the disciples of the various emperors, her husband Hongyu, and even more so to your true form.

He paused here, giving the Northern Emperor a meaningful look; that hint was enough.

Zhang Haoran continued, "As for the details, don't ask. I don't want to lie to you, but I also don't want to tell you the truth, that would be too sad."

Let's wait for my junior brother Fang Ping to come here and let him explain it to you in detail!

Anyway, you said it yourself, as long as a person is alive, it's not a big deal!

He changed the subject, saying, "Well, I'm almost fully recovered now. Let's go treat the Northern Empress first."

Upon hearing these words, the Northern Emperor froze on the spot, his expression constantly changing.

Although the details are still unknown, he has ruled the Heavenly Court for tens of thousands of years, so what kind of despicable things hasn't he seen?

He could already imagine how miserable Yue Ling's situation must be!

One thing is very noteworthy: this matter is actually related to his true self, and the fact that he only mentioned it last indicates that the matter is extremely serious.

This gave him a bad feeling. The fact that an emperor would actually harm his own daughter was obviously a serious matter.

He has serious doubts about whether his daughter is out of danger.

This matter is also related to Hongyu, which is very sad. He was the husband he painstakingly chose for his daughter. Yueling must be greatly affected by this.

As for the so-called disciple of the Emperor, it's not hard to guess the situation. A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. The Emperor has not appeared for tens of thousands of years and has lost his backer. Yue Ling is only a broken level six, so it's normal for her to be bullied.

The Northern Emperor comforted himself, saying, "It's good that my daughter is still alive. We can take revenge on those enemies slowly."

An emperor is an emperor after all; his will is extremely firm.

The Northern Emperor took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said in a hoarse voice, "Alright, let's go treat the Imperial Consort now!"

Perhaps in his view, no matter what happened to Yue Ling, he was powerless to do anything about it and could only get angry here. The most important thing now was to save the Northern Empress.
