Chapter 1071 Experiment
Li Hongzhao turned to look at Chu Zhiyuan, chuckled, and shook her head: "I'm so stupid, I should have thought of that."

Chu Zhiyuan stared into the distant void: "What are you thinking about?"

The Emperor's Sword, like a collapsed skyscraper, lies across the void, poised to crush down at any moment.

Its overwhelming presence instilled a sense of awe and insignificance in onlookers, making them want to kneel and beg for mercy, with no will to resist.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Only the Emperor's Sword can deal with the Emperor's Sword, and in this world, the only ones who dare to deal with my Emperor's Sword are probably Da Zhen and Da Jing."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "What about Da Jian and Da Lie?"

"Their Emperor's Sword is no threat to me, and I also know why the Emperors of Dajing and Dazhen are targeting me."

"Why?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, puzzled. "Even if the Emperor's Sword were to engage in a direct confrontation, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. The cost would be too high, wouldn't it?"

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Unless there's an even greater benefit."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, puzzled: "What could be a greater benefit than ascension?"

“What if they don’t want to ascend?” Li Hongzhao asked.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

He knew that the Emperor of Dajing did not want to ascend to heaven; he had made it clear to him from the beginning.

The Great Jing Emperor was saying that he himself was of mediocre talent and that even if he used the Emperor's Sword, he might not be able to ascend to immortality, but would instead face danger.

However, he did not want to pass on the throne immediately, but rather to wait ten years before passing it on to himself.

The mystery behind this was left unsaid.

Li Hongzhao said, "After I decided to ascend, I have gained more and more secrets in the past few days."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

It's not surprising that the Emperor's Sword, full of spirituality, passed on some common sense to its master.

He suspected that the main body of the Emperor's Sword was a magical treasure.

The spirituality of spirit treasures varies, and some spirit treasures are even more intelligent than humans.

Li Hongzhao said, "After ascending with the Emperor's Sword, you will become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect of Biyuan Heaven and continue your cultivation."

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Li Hongzhao said, "If you don't have the aptitude, your situation won't be so pleasant at the Heavenly Sword Sect. It's better to stay here."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "But if we stay here, our lifespan won't be that long."

Li Hongzhao snorted and said, "Some people value lifespan, while others don't. Is it better to live a long, miserable life or a short, carefree one? If it were you, what would you choose?"

"Live a little longer," Chu Zhiyuan said.

Li Hongzhao rolled her eyes at him: "I don't believe it."

She felt that Chu Zhiyuan would definitely choose the latter, preferring to live a shorter life rather than live a carefree and unrestrained one.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "That depends on whether there is any hope. If there is no hope, living a long time will just be torture."

Li Hongzhao said, "Your grandfather and the current emperor of Dazhen were both of ordinary talent. It's not surprising that they didn't want to go to Biyuan Heaven or join the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "They don't want you to ascend either?"

Li Hongzhao snorted and said, "They don't know I'm about to ascend to immortality; they just want to get rid of me."

Chu Zhiyuan said slowly, "Do you think you pose too great a threat as emperor?"

Li Hongzhao smiled proudly: "How have I been as emperor? I've terrified them."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "This has brought about your own demise... Even if you tell them you want to ascend now, they won't stop."

Li Hongzhao said, "No."

"Sigh—!" Chu Zhiyuan sighed and shook his head.

With two Emperor Swords working together, they would surely be full of confidence in killing the owner of one of the Emperor Swords.

After all, they had been cultivating for many years, while Li Hongzhao had only recently become emperor.

The Emperor's Sword must not have been fully mastered. We should take advantage of Li Hongzhao's weakness to make our move, otherwise it will be even more difficult in the future.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to persuade them not to take action.

I don't have that much face to save.

Li Hongzhao said, "It seems I'll have to fight to the death today. Don't blame me if I kill your grandfather."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's go."

"Leave?" Li Hongzhao said, "Once the Emperor's Sword locks on, it'll be hard to escape, won't it?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Let's go."

He put his arm around Li Hongzhao's slender waist, and the two disappeared without a trace in a flash.

The next moment, they appeared on a mountaintop, and the Emperor's Sword was no longer there.

Li Hongzhao looked around: "Where is this?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Crane Cry Peak in the southeast of Dajing."

Li Hongzhao laughed and said, "Am I supposed to keep hiding from them? ...I bet they're waiting for me in Tianjing."

"Let's just not go back to Tianjing," Chu Zhiyuan said. "We'll ascend here directly."

Li Hongzhao hesitated.

She had also considered this idea: if it really didn't work out, she could simply ascend to heaven outside.

Whether it was in Tianjing or ascended to heaven above the palace is not that important.

Anyway, we're going to Biyuan Heaven and Tianjian Sect, so who cares what's going on here?

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If all else fails, then we can only have a good talk with Emperor Dazhen." Although he has now cultivated the true inheritance of the Taiqing Yuanzong and mastered the Earth Yuan Technique and Human Yuan Technique, he is still not confident that he can defeat the Emperor's Sword.

After all, spiritual energy is scarce in this world, so the power of martial arts from beyond the heavens cannot be fully utilized.

The Amazing Finger technique is effective against ordinary masters, but it cannot suppress the Emperor's Sword.

With the Dragon Soaring Bell protecting him and the Human Origin Technique, he was not afraid of the Emperor's Sword.

Therefore, to deal with Emperor Dazhen, it is necessary to strategically leverage strengths and avoid weaknesses, and to bluff.

Li Hongzhao frowned slightly and shook her head, saying, "Then I will not ascend to heaven in Tianjing."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Try attacking me with your sword."

Li Hongzhao looked at him in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded: "Come on."

Li Hongzhao stretched out her jade-like hand and gestured towards the sky.

The enormous Emperor's Sword in the void rapidly shrank, transforming into a stream of light that shot into her right hand.

It was an ancient, simple longsword.

A sword has no sharp edge; true skill lies in simplicity.

The sword is engraved with various patterns and designs.

A glint flashed in Chu Zhiyuan's eyes.

This sword is actually covered in divine runes!

It consists of two characters: 社稷 (shèjì).

This Emperor's Sword shouldn't be called the Emperor's Sword; it should be called the State Sword!
……

"laugh!"

Li Hongzhao swung his sword.

A crack appeared in the void in front of Chu Zhiyuan and quickly spread outwards.

Chu Zhiyuan found himself unable to move, watching helplessly as the cracks spread toward him.

A strong sense of unease immediately arose.

He flicked his finger.

"laugh!"

With a soft whistle, a finger strike collided with the spreading cracks, only to be silently annihilated.

The cracks continued to spread toward him.

He neither drew his finger nor his sword, but instead swung his palm at the crack that was close at hand.

"Boom!"

The sound is crisp and melodious, like a pebble falling into a deep pool.

The crack in the void vanished instantly, leaving only a ripple that spread outwards.

Suddenly there was a howling wind.

Li Hongzhao and Chu Zhiyuan stood in the howling wind, their clothes fluttering in the wind.

Sand and stones flew all around, trees were uprooted, and huge tree roots and sand and mud flew out with them.

In the blink of an eye, the area within a hundred meters around them was cleared.

Li Hongzhao looked at him in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Hongzhao with a sigh and asked, "How much effort did you use?"

After this violent force entered the azure sky and sea of ​​Laogong acupoint, it immediately formed a gale.

The blue sea surged with waves, the blue sky remained unchanged, and the vegetation on the small island suddenly undulated.

Like a storm rising at sea.

"Three points," Li Hongzhao said.

She thought Chu Zhiyuan could withstand three-tenths of the force, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.

"Again," Chu Zhiyuan said, "five points of strength."

"it is good."

"laugh!"

"Boom!"

"Woo..."

The wind howled, sweeping away all the strange rocks and trees within a 200-meter radius.

Apart from the stones beneath their feet, a foot of soil had been scraped away from the rest of the area.

"Six-tenths of my strength," Chu Zhiyuan said.

"Boom!"

"Woooooooo..."

In the fierce wind, the mountain peak beneath their feet was sheared off by two meters.

The stone they stood on was still there, but the soil beneath it had been swept away.
