The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 185 Entering the Palace
The carriage went unhindered and entered the palace.

The imperial palace was huge, and Li Yan did not meet Emperor Xia.

He was directly arranged to live in the Ningxin Palace in the imperial palace.

The location here is quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle, and the scenery is unique. The only pity is that it is too remote.

The princes of the Great Xia Dynasty would be granted marriage and be sent out of the palace only after they turned twenty years old.

Either you take up a position to gain experience, or you can directly become a local vassal.

Only a prince who has held a position and gained experience will have the opportunity to become the next Emperor Xia in the future.

Li Yan has the blood of the Chu State, so from the very beginning, he was destined to have no chance of becoming the Emperor of Xia.

It's just that he is not yet twenty years old, so he has not been assigned to leave the palace and become a local vassal king.

"There are still two years left, but that should be enough."

Li Yan himself does not need to become the next Emperor Xia.

What he needs to do now is not to carry the destiny of this world, but to become the best in the world.

Just like he is in the martial arts world, his body is in harmony with the laws of nature in this world.

Then use your own talents to steal the origin of the Heavenly Dao of this world.

With the foundation of this world, he felt that if he could steal the origin of the Heavenly Dao of this world, he might even have a chance to directly build up his magic power to 100,000 Daos.

Achieve perfection of the Earth Soul and give birth to the Taoism of the Earth Soul.

"By then, I should be able to sense the Heavenly Soul, break through the realm, and become a true Dao Lord of the human race!"

Li Yan's eyes flashed.

The reason why he chose this world was to be able to break through the realm of Earth Soul Lord.

Although the class of this world is not weak, he is confident that with his talent, he can become the strongest in this world.

What he needs to do now is to lay a solid foundation and prepare for becoming a super-class warlock in the future.

"After entering the first stage of cultivation and sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you can already use magic."

"It's just that I haven't mastered the magic of this world yet, and I'm in the palace, suppressed by the dragon energy. All magic will be suppressed in the palace."

"Even if I master the magic of this world, I may not be able to use it."

"But even though the palace suppresses magic, it does not affect my understanding of spiritual energy and my practice of the magic of the sorcerer."

"In the palace, my current identity is my best protection. I don't need to learn any magic to protect myself."

Li Yan had already thought about his future path in his mind.

He should stay in the imperial city for two years.

As for two years later, he would have surely entered the realm of a high-level sorcerer.

Even if he leaves the imperial city, he has enough strength to stand on his own.

By then, even if he lost the protection of his status as a prince, no one would be able to hurt him in the slightest.

As for now, he is like a hidden dragon in the abyss, needing to lie dormant and practice in preparation for his future rise.

……

"The Ninth Prince has returned to the palace. Your Majesty, what should we do?"

In the harem, a palace maid in purple looked worried as she asked the woman in luxurious clothes behind a layer of veil.

"He is just a waste whose martial veins have been destroyed. What can he do even if he comes back?"

"He has that bitch's blood in him, so he is destined not to inherit the throne. It won't be too late to take action against him after he is released from the palace."

A hint of resentment appeared on the face of the elegant woman.

If it weren't for that bitch, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Although she holds the position of Imperial Concubine, Emperor Xia has not visited her again in the past two years.

She had already become a joke in the harem.

Originally, she heard rumors that the Ninth Prince was going to return to the palace, so she sent people to take action.

She would be most satisfied if the offspring of that bitch were imprisoned in the Xiangshan Villa and died in agony.

She would never allow him to return to the palace.

But she never expected that the people she arranged were unable to kill the offspring of that bitch.

Let him escape the disaster and return to the palace.

But it doesn’t matter. In about two years, that person will be released from the palace.

Her martial arts veins were destroyed and she had no strength at all. After leaving the palace, she had plenty of ways to kill that man.

While she was thinking about this, suddenly, a eunuch from Emperor Xia's side came into the courtyard carrying a square gift box.

"Emperor Xia has a reward, please ask Concubine Li to come out and claim it."

"Reward? Could it be that Emperor Xia hasn't forgotten me?"

She hurried out and bowed to receive the reward. After seeing the eunuch off, she walked into the room alone with a smile on her face, carrying the gift box.

Then carefully open the gift box.

But the things inside made her face turn pale.

"This……"

"How can it be!"

She saw that inside the gift box was the head of the man she sent to assassinate Xia Yan last night.

This man was an old servant in her family and was very loyal.

Not long ago, she sent someone to spread the message and asked him to kill Xia Yan.

Unexpectedly, not only did it fail, but now the head was sent to her.

And next to the head, there was an exquisite silver wine jug.

She lifted the wine jug tremblingly, and the wine in the jug swayed gently as her body trembled.

Her body was cold and her heart was desolate.

"Are you going to kill me..."

It was obvious that Emperor Xia had found out everything.

Knowing that it was she who sent people to assassinate the Ninth Prince, they sent the murderer's head directly to her.

But she didn't expect that, along with it, there would also be a pot of poisoned wine.

"I am the biological mother of the Third Prince. How could Emperor Xia do that? It's impossible!"

Her heart was filled with fear and she wanted to spill the poisoned wine.

But reason told her not to do that.

If she did so, not only would she die, but her family and the third prince would also be implicated.

"Is Emperor Xia really so heartless?"

She smiled sadly, picked up the wine jug, tilted her head back and drank the poisoned wine in it.

……

"Did she drink it?"

"How dare Concubine Li refuse the gift given by Emperor Xia?"

"You dare to murder the prince. I am too kind to let her have such thoughts."

Emperor Xia, dressed in a dragon robe, is now over sixty years old, but his face is still young, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Although martial arts cannot bring immortality, as a grandmaster who has condensed the golden elixir of martial arts, he can also enjoy a lifespan of two hundred years.

Although it is not as good as the sorcerer's golden elixir, it can last for a thousand years.

But the time he spent on training was not as much as that of a sorcerer.

It would take a sorcerer hundreds of years to cultivate the golden elixir, even if he was extremely talented.

And it took him less than fifty years to achieve the fourth level of martial arts.

Although he was assisted by the dragon energy, his own talent should not be underestimated.

But success or failure is due to the dragon's spirit.

With the help of dragon energy in his cultivation, even if he enters the realm of Martial Saint in the future, his lifespan will not increase much.

His life span is now at its limit.

"The wine in that wine pot is not poisonous. Emperor Xia has mercy on me."

The eunuch beside Emperor Xia bowed to him.

"After all, she is the biological mother of the Third Prince, and the Ninth Prince is still alive. This is a lesson for her."

"If you dare to attack the prince again, the wine in the jug will be replaced with another kind."

"But the Ninth Prince also needs to be appeased. Send someone to invite Taoist Qingyun from Taiqing Palace to come to the Stargazing Pavilion as soon as possible to take up his post. Then he can continue the Ninth Prince's martial arts lineage."

"Yes!"
