ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 251

The sky darkened.

After receiving Ji Suhua's letter, Emperor Xuan indeed chose her. He didn't wait until evening; he went to her palace that afternoon, bringing with him a room full of gifts and tonics.

The weather outside the window was not good, but this did not dampen Emperor Xuan's spirits. He shrunk his body to the size of a normal person, first listened to Consort Ji's sweet thanks for the divine pill, and then Consort Ji led him to the table, saying that she wanted him to give her some pointers on her poetry.

"My beloved concubine is pregnant and should be resting properly. Why are you still worrying about poetry and literature?"

Ji Suhua had two dimples when she smiled. She spread out paper and pen, wrapped them around Emperor Xuan's arm, and said affectionately, "I've only come up with half a line of poetry, and I really don't know how to match the other half. Your Majesty, please, Your Majesty, help me..."

Her admiring and coquettish voice could melt even the heart of a stone.

Emperor Xuan smiled and looked down at the half-line of poetry that Ji Suhua had already written:

"Let me see, my beloved concubine wrote... 'Heaven and earth are my furnace, I know myself'? Hmm, what a perfect half-line!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no suspicion, and said with considerable emotion, "As cultivators, we are born between heaven and earth. Although cultivation is in accordance with the way of heaven, it ultimately means going against heaven. The way heaven and earth tempers and refines cultivators is like a pill furnace, and all living beings are like medicinal herbs in heaven and earth, and also... the medicinal herbs in my hands..."

At this point, the Emperor Xuan's smile became even more genuine: "That's right, isn't heaven and earth my alchemy furnace?"

Ji Suhua asked innocently, "What is Your Majesty saying? Could it be that Your Majesty is not only the most powerful cultivator in the world, but also the most powerful alchemist?"

Emperor Xuan burst into laughter: "That's right, exactly! What, my beloved concubine, don't you know? If you ask me, the next line after 'Heaven and earth are my furnace, I know it myself' should be..."

He picked up the jade bamboo brush, dipped it in thick ink, and began to write on the other side of Ji Suhua's delicate handwriting:
"Creation...is the key to success..."

Ji Suhua suddenly grabbed the sachet on his belt and pulled it downwards with all her might!
Emperor Xuan was completely unprepared for her action. The thick ink from his jade bamboo brush splattered onto the paper, leaving a dark stain. Just as his thunderous rage was about to erupt, golden light suddenly filled the entire hall, and a cage rumbled up from the ground, completely imprisoning Emperor Xuan within it!
"You bitch! How dare you—"

A relieved smile flashed across Ji Suhua's face. When Emperor Xuan looked again, he was already enveloped by the overwhelming sword light!

The third form of the "Rainbow Sword Manual" -

Phoenix arrives!
Du Xinghe resolutely poured all the insights he had gained from years of cultivation in the Sword Palace into this final, thunderous strike. This almost unavoidable blow grew ever closer and sharper in Xuan Di's eyes, as if a single glance would pierce his pupils.

This sword strike cannot be avoided!

Emperor Xuan roared, no longer thinking of backing down, but instead facing the gleaming sword tip with his true energy flowing straight through his body!

[Ziwei Edict - Heavenly Treasury]

Drawing upon celestial constellations as his Dharma form and unleashing the spiritual energy around his body to protect him, this is a technique only the Xuan Emperor can wield. As a powerful being in the Integration Stage, the Xuan Emperor's concentration of spiritual energy was sufficient to withstand Du Xinghe's all-out attack.

Undeterred by her failed first attack, Du Xinghe lightly tapped the table with her toe. The table, already reduced to dust in the previous impact, crumbled and scattered across the floor with a "whoosh."

Du Xinghe also used the momentum to retreat, and took the opportunity to pick up Ji Suhua and throw her far out of the palace window.

"It's you?!"

Emperor Xuan recognized Du Xinghe's face, and was both shocked and furious: "You betrayed me with that bitch?"

Du Xinghe laughed and said, "That's not right, is it? This isn't a game of 'Three Kingdoms Kill.' I don't think I've ever been a loyal subject, so how can you call it betrayal?"

Emperor Xuan found it absurd: "You, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, dare to assassinate me?!"

Du Xinghe shrugged: "As big as your heart, that's how big your dreams will be."

"Besides, I didn't come alone."

Above Xuandu, a giant bird in the form of Garuda blotted out the sun with its wings. On its azure wings, Emperor Ying Cang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes piercing through the clouds and the palaces, pointing directly at Emperor Xuandu.

He took a step forward and landed gracefully.

Just as Ji Wuhuo and Ji Suhua will encounter a sword cultivator who falls from the sky, the Xuan Emperor should also encounter a Nascent Soul stage senior who falls from the sky to teach him a lesson on how to be a person.

The distance between heaven and earth was so vast that Emperor Ying Cang's palm strike arrived in an instant. Just as Emperor Xuan was about to unleash his power to defend himself, Emperor Ying Cang's palm strike, which pierced through heaven and earth, landed directly on the top of his head.

Does it hurt? It must hurt a lot, it hurts so much, because this move is called:
The pain is unbearable!

Du Xinghe drew her twin swords, one light and one heavy, her mind still happily providing background music for the two Nascent Soul stage experts fighting. Suddenly, a golden streak of light aimed at her from the sky and plummeted straight down.

The golden dragon's clone let out a clear cry. The Xuan Emperor, who was already struggling to defend himself against the Cang Emperor, suddenly looked up upon hearing the dragon's cry, his face turning deathly pale.

"The dragon vein was stolen by you?!"

Du Xinghe stepped forward, cutting off Xuandi's retreat with a "Frosty River Embrace": "Watch your words, 'steal' sounds too harsh. This dragon vein was never yours to begin with."

Emperor Xuan blocked Emperor Yingcang's fingers with a fierce punch, and said angrily: "I am the Son of Heaven, the Emperor, the master of all things and people under Heaven, and the dragon vein should belong to me!"

Du Xinghe seized the opportunity, drew his sword and thrust it straight at Xuandi's face: "According to you, Senior Yan is also an emperor, and he became emperor earlier than you. He should be more qualified to possess this dragon vein, right?"

Emperor Yingcang had remained silent since the assassination attempt began, mainly because he genuinely didn't know what to say to Emperor Xuan.

Hearing Du Xinghe bring him up, Emperor Yingcang felt a little nervous, and his blows became even heavier. After delivering a particularly powerful chop, Emperor Yingcang glanced at Du Xinghe, and as if to confirm her words, he gave a very serious and forceful "Hmm!"

Emperor Xuan was so angry at these two that he almost vomited blood.

You can't win an argument, and you can't win a fight—

Wait a minute, who exactly is this "fusion period"?!
"who are you?"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood in a fit of rage, pointed at Emperor Yingcang, and asked, "Your surname is Yan. Are you some remnant of the previous dynasty, plotting to usurp the throne?"

Emperor Ying Cang hated the self-introduction segment the most. He pursed his lips, put on a stern face, and attacked Emperor Xuan even more fiercely.

"Did I guess right? Traitorous officials! After Emperor Yingcang's death, there has never been anyone in this world who could rival the Xuan Dynasty! Heaven and the Way are on my side; how could mere remnants of the previous dynasty possibly—Pfft!!!"

Emperor Ying Cang struck down hard, then frowned and explained in a low voice:
"I'm not dead...!"

Jinlong and Xinyue landed gracefully from the sky. Xinyue remained calm upon seeing the presence of her other master and consciously drew her sword to stand behind Du Xinghe.

Jinlong then unleashed the fruits of his cultivation over the past few days. With a long roar, the Gengjin battle patterns bestowed upon him by the White Tiger lit up one by one, like the sharpest sword, stirring up a whirlwind and pointing straight at the Xuan Emperor's heart.

Emperor Xuan dared not underestimate him and once again activated his cultivation technique, unleashing the [Ziwei Edict].

Constellation Dharma Image, Protective Qi!
However, the power of the weapon master that Du Xinghe obtained was a divine weapon that was personally blessed by the White Tiger, making it the strongest and most powerful weapon in the world. It could overcome superiors and any kind of qi could be easily broken in front of her.

Emperor Xuan was almost horrified to discover that his unbreakable Ziwei Qi was shattering inch by inch before the Star-Crossing Sword. When the pain shot through his chest, Emperor Xuan couldn't even believe it—

He was stabbed by a Nascent Soul cultivator?
He actually got stabbed by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?

The dragon vein has been stolen, the Ji family has betrayed them, and remnants of the previous dynasty have appeared out of nowhere...

Emperor Xuan's mind, which had been in a daze after being slapped hard by Emperor Ying Cang, suddenly cleared up.

Even though he still didn't quite understand why the remnants of the previous dynasty would collude with the Ji family and Du Xinghe, Emperor Xuan clearly realized that he couldn't defeat these people.

Over the years, he had rarely tasted failure. But today, he tasted it again.

The muscles on Emperor Xuan's face twitched slightly. He bit his tongue and let out a shriek that was almost inhuman.

Emperor Xuan's body began to swell rapidly.

Across the continent, countless cultivators and mortals looked up and were all utterly astonished to discover the same strange phenomenon:

In the sky, mist gates began to rotate and open.

The ground of Xuandu began to shake, and Xinyue lost her balance. Clinging to a pillar supporting the main hall, she anxiously called out to Du Xinghe, "Master! What's going on underground—"

Du Xinghe understood, because those she controlled in the Samsara Academy were also panicked by the strange changes in the world, and the thoughts of many of them who knew the inside story reached her ears:

The fog gate opens, and Xuandu is about to detach itself from the ground and ascend to heaven with the Xuan Emperor.

The Xuan Emperor's body had swelled to the height of a small mountain, and his voice, like rumbling thunder, vaguely reached everyone's ears:

"...Dare to defy me! I will make...pay the price! Die!"

Emperor Yingcang silently took flight and rejoined the battle. The two bodies that crossed the Milky Way exchanged a glance, and one of them raised a long sword and followed Emperor Yingcang without hesitation.

Another person picked up a sachet that had been left in a corner from the ground.

Du Xinghe pulled out a jade pendant from the sachet that Ji Suhua had torn off.

Upon seeing the jade pendant, Du Xinghe felt a sense of "I knew it." This was the very pendant she wore in her second life, and based on what she had seen in the dragon vein, it might be the key to breaking the deadlock.

Du Xinghe grasped the jade pendant and calmed his mind.

In a daze, she saw a man whose face looked very similar to hers.

"You must listen."

The man's form was transparent. He smiled and stroked the face of the galaxy. His fragile body was being drawn to the enormous shell of the Xuan Emperor, swaying as if about to be swallowed up.

“Listen to their voices,” he whispered. “Monks and mortals, men and women, old and young, noble and lowly…”

Du Xinghe couldn't hold his hand. The man's last trace was also absorbed by the Xuan Emperor, leaving Du Xinghe with a proud smile in mid-air:
"Good boy, you will definitely succeed. We are all here waiting for you."

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked up, meeting the Xuan Emperor's enormous, crimson eyes, as large as a mountain gate.

"I will kill you all!"

Crossing the Milky Way without flinching or avoiding, she smiled and silently transmitted her thoughts to Shu Jiuqing, who was far away in the Immortal Alliance:

"I've found a way to crack the fog door."
