The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 135: The Day the Lotus Blooms, Rebuilding the Bones (Two in One)

Si Jian could never have imagined that there was someone else holding a sword of higher quality than his own!

Moreover, the "Yijian Fa" is not just about comparing the quality of the sword. After the sword is spiritualized by the secret method, it also has the recognition of its holder, including the measurement of various aspects of swordsmanship and cultivation.

Even if the opponent has a sword of the Precious Grade, he is only at the Sixth Grade, and even his aura is weak, and his every move shows no trace of having practiced swordsmanship. How can he be recognized by such a precious sword?

Si Jian was not careless, but this matter was really beyond common sense and completely beyond his understanding after hundreds of years of practice!

He devoted his life to the art of swordsmanship, and firmly believed that the sword had its own spirit and would choose a wise master. This was also the foundation of the "Yijian method".

The people in the Dao Sword Palace let the sword choose its master itself, rather than the practitioners choosing the sword.

So they left the judgment of people's superiority to the sword.

Within the spirituality of the sword, everything a swordsman does is revealed.

In Si Jian's opinion, Gu Fangchen does not possess the qualities of an excellent swordsman. In fact... this guy is not a swordsman at all!
No matter what, there is no way he can fail in the game of Yijian under such circumstances!
So, Si Jian went up confidently.

Then, he died on the spot.

He could never have imagined that Gu Fangchen had stolen the sword using the system.

Although this world is no longer a game world, the system in Gu Fangchen still follows the rules of the game when making judgments.

This results in the judgment in some places being considered bugs.

For example, according to the system rules, there is no question of whether the stolen items are recognized or not. Of course, they will appear directly in the player's backpack and can be used directly.

Just like before, things like the "Wheel of Karma" are magical powers. In the original game, it should be considered as stealing a skill, so it will naturally appear in the skill column.

But since Gu Fangchen doesn’t have a skill bar now.

So, this thing directly appeared in his soul and was bound to him.

The same is true for the [Seventy-Two Peaks Towering Sword]. No matter how high its grade is, it is just a piece of equipment for players.

There is no such thing as being unable to equip something, only if the load is too heavy and the attributes are weakened.

Therefore, Gu Fangchen can use it directly after getting it.

No matter what you say, this is the system's rejection!

"No, that's impossible! Ancestor! Ancestor, you must have made a wrong judgment! This guy is not a sword cultivator at all!"

"How could I lose?! Why did you let me lose?!"

Si Jian's eyes were bloodshot, his heart almost collapsed, and he looked at the huge phantom of an old face.

However, the old ancestor's will had long been integrated into this avenue, and he had no thoughts of his own at all. He looked down with a cold expression, then disappeared into the void again.

Si Jian knelt dejectedly, looking at the sword in his hand.

Although only his soul was left, becoming the core of the entire Sword Palace seal, at this moment, even his soul looked much older.

Gu Fangchen walked up to him.

Si Jian was silent for a moment. Although he was filled with indignation and confusion, he was a disciple of the Dao Sword Palace, so he had to abide by the "Yijian Law" and accept defeat.

He knelt down and said to Gu Fangchen in a deep voice:

"I lost……"

Gu Fangchen waved his hand and asked him to wait aside, then walked around him and came to the other side in front of Hu Wenxin's body, smiling and said:
"Are you going to come out on your own, or should I do it?"

Corpse: “…”

Si Jian was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had just been tricked. Thinking that this guy was trying to provoke him to use the "Yijian method", he immediately became furious:
"You old thief Lingxue! How dare you fake your own death! Do you still have any shame?"

"What's wrong with faking my death? As an evil cultivator, it's normal for me to do whatever it takes!"

The blood around the corpse had already flowed into the shadow at the edge. It was about to escape successfully, but now it was exposed by Gu Fangchen and could only condense back into the lifeless corpse.

The originally shriveled corpse suddenly swelled up again.

Hu Wenxin opened his eyes, jumped up, and glared at Si Jian shamelessly.

It turned out that this evil cultivator was able to escape by transferring all the blood in his body. He wanted to use this to hide and wait for one of the two to be defeated so that he could take the opportunity to escape.

But unfortunately, Gu Fangchen knew this guy's skills very well.

I killed this guy once on the third floor, and I had to fight him again on the fourth floor... Considering that this guy was able to survive in this sword palace, if he were not strong enough and not well-known as a copy boss, he could probably compete with Gu Yuye for the title of the King of Endurance.

Si Jian glanced at him, then looked at Gu Fangchen and said seriously:

"Sir, this old thief faked his own death and escaped. He must have bad intentions. We must not allow him to stay!"

Hu Wenxin was stunned and cursed in his heart, "Damn it, this old bitch is even more shameless than me!"

But in fact, Si Jian is a native of the Dao Sword Palace. Although he is unwilling, no one can compare to him in terms of familiarity with this set of rules.

He smiled flatteringly and said sincerely:
"No, no, no, sir, please don't misunderstand me. I am a little timid, but I swear, I have no intention of betraying you!"

Gu Fangchen raised his eyebrows and said:
"Oh, then you should take a demon oath."

Hu Wenxin: “…”

Under Gu Fangchen's gaze, Hu Wenxin had no choice but to humiliate herself and swear an oath to the devil that she would never betray him.

The most important point about the fourth level of the Tribulation Realm is that you will be invaded by internal and external demons and begin to overcome the tribulation.

From the middle three grades to the upper three grades is the second threshold for practitioners. Only after successfully overcoming the tribulation can one be considered a "immortal" in the true sense.

For others, the inner demon oath is just a possible obstacle in the future.

But for a fourth-grade cultivator like Hu Wenxin, the inner demon oath would be fulfilled on the spot. If he couldn't overcome it, he would die on the spot. He didn't dare to take any chances at all.

Gu Fangchen asked Si Jian for the secret key, unlocked the seal of the Dao Sword Palace, asked Si Jian to choose a suitable sword for Xu Zhenguan, and then escorted Xu Zhenguan away.

——Although he could be teleported back through "Teleportation Array 1.14514", in that case, his identity would be exposed.

He had to create a time difference and make a witness for the identity of "Not a Taoist Priest" to better distinguish him from "Gu Fangchen".

Xu Zhenguan's cold and serious face showed little expression. He bowed and said hesitantly:

"Since the Taoist priest is going into seclusion, it is inconvenient for me to stay with him. However, after this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again..."

As an honest man, he felt that he owed the Taoist priest more and more.

If the Taoist priest hadn't disappeared again, he would never have been able to repay his kindness...

He also had a guess in his mind, and speaking out at this moment was a test.

Gu Fangchen glanced at him and said with a smile:
"After you return to Jiange, go find Gu Fangchen. Follow him, and we'll meet again one day."

Xu Zhenguan's expression changed, and he nodded solemnly:
"it is good!"

After saying that, he followed Si Jian and left, entering the upper level of the sword room.

Gu Fangchen went to the Sword Palace Treasury and got the last material needed to reshape his bones. Then he returned to the Sword Room, opened one of the inconspicuous doors on the first floor, and asked Hu Wenxin to guard outside.

There is a secret room inside the door. After unlocking the corresponding mechanism, Gu Fangchen circled around it three times and solved the maze.

"It's still so troublesome to hide this, but relatively speaking, it's really safe to retreat here."

Gu Fangchen sighed and looked at the long sword in front of him that was entangled and suppressed by four chains.

This sword is the best sword in the whole game.

The name of the sword is [White Horse].

The so-called evil sword under Donglong Lake is fictional, but this sword is the real evil sword.

The grade of this sword is not high, but its evil lies in the fact that it has a special feature.

It can show the sword owner a "gap" on any object, and the sword can be used to cut it along this "gap".

When facing any boss, this sword can basically reduce a large portion of the opponent's health right from the start.

If you are lucky, you might even be able to kill it instantly.

Moreover, if an object is cut in half, it can be considered an independent object and can be cut again.

Therefore, players also jokingly call this sword "Hydraulic Press". As we all know, if you have a hydraulic press at home, it won't be long before there is only one hydraulic press left in your home.

And the same is true for this sword.

It doesn't have any ability to lead people to evil thoughts, but all of its previous sword masters, without exception, have turned into bloodthirsty demons...

Therefore, it was sealed here by the Dao Sword Palace, and it was not allowed to reappear in the world and stir up bloody storms.

Gu Fangchen untied the restrictions on the chains, drew out the sword, held it horizontally in front of him, and flicked his fingers.

"Ding--"

The sword hummed softly and trembled slightly.

It sounds good.

Gu Fangchen raised his eyes and looked around.

At this moment, in his eyes, a "gap" emitting a faint white light appeared on the wall, the chain, and the ground.

He casually swiped at the "gap" on the chain next to him, and the chain broke smoothly.

Gu Fangchen suddenly had an urge to cut open all the other "gaps".

Commonly known as itchy hands.

He took a deep breath, immediately put away his sword, and calmed himself down.

Fortunately, he doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder...

Otherwise, the Wei Dynasty would have had another unparalleled demon.

Then, Gu Fangchen sat cross-legged on the spot in the dark room. After making all the arrangements, he took out the "Lotus Treasure in the Fetus".

The translucent lotus petals were covered with blood-red meridians, like blood vessels, which regularly drove the petals to pulsate.

The fragrant mist glowed with golden light and flowed to the ground, and immediately tender green shoots grew out from the cracks.

The fleshy mass in the center of the lotus was beating vigorously.

Like a heart.

Gu Fangchen held it and slowly pressed it against his heart.

As he moved, the "Lotus in the Fetus" sensed something, and the translucent lotus petals gradually withered and died, turning into mist and flowing into Gu Fangchen's body.

And those blood vessel-like meridians penetrate deep into the skin along with that heart-like mass of flesh and blood.

The reshaping of the bones by the “Lotus in the Womb” is a physical reshaping.

It is much more brutal than washing the tendons and marrow.

For a normal person, the worst that would happen after a cleansing of the bones and marrow is that the whole body would be covered in sour and smelly black mud.

However, the "Lotus in the Fetus" directly replaces the meridians and Dantian, and what comes out can only be blood.

However, if it weren't for such brutality, it wouldn't have solved the problem of Gu Fangchen being unable to practice normally.

……

The Imperial City is a hundred thousand miles away.

Zhenbei Palace.

The study was dark.

Gu Yuye sat at the head, his eyes cold and he said:

"So what you're saying is... not only did you fail to kill Gu Fangchen, but you allowed him to completely defeat the Seven Sects Alliance in just three days, and you even silenced everyone with a quasi-principle-grade sword?"

"I thought we Dao Masters had some good ideas, but it turns out we were still fooled around by that little bastard!"

From the darkness, a sorrowful old man with black fingers walked out. It was none other than the Charcoal Seller, the leader of the Righteous Dao. He said in a deep voice:
"This matter is quite strange...We underestimated this man."

Before the confrontation with Gu Fangchen, they just thought that Gu Yuye was incompetent.

He has stumbled time and again. He has already recognized his biological son as the crown prince, but the matter of proving his identity has been delayed until now.

It’s true that even smart people can make stupid mistakes sometimes!
With the help of their ten masters, wouldn’t it be easy to kill Gu Fangchen?
As it turned out, this person seemed to be able to predict everything. Not only did he lead their people away in advance, but he also broke the "Seven Sects Rebellion" as soon as he arrived at Donglong Lake.

This is not even something that can be predicted by causality.

Even disciples of the "Tianming Dao" like Xu Fu and outstanding figures like the "Six Star Gods" can only get part of the maxims when predicting what will happen in the future.

But Gu Fangchen seemed to know every step clearly.

What’s even more terrifying is that he can actually get the optimal solution for every problem. This is the most incredible thing when they reviewed the situation.

The forces involved in the "Rebellion of the Seven Sects" were complicated and intertwined, but Gu Fangchen seemed to be able to see through them at a glance, and went straight to the point, eradicating the root of the problem.

Not to mention three days.

Originally, they planned to let Gu Yuandao suppress the rebellion. They, the manipulators who knew the whole thing well, extended the planning time to one month!

Gu Fangchen's efficiency in solving problems is simply outrageous.

just like……

He had solved this problem countless times, and this time, it was just a reappearance of one of the answers.

The charcoal seller turned a red-hot charcoal in his hand and continued:
"But this time, we will do our utmost to help His Majesty prevent this person from returning to Huangtian City."

Gu Yuye snorted coldly:
"You'd better assist me with all your strength!"

The charcoal seller smiled slightly, picked up the charcoal in his hand, and said:

"This fire belongs to Saishao City, which was once completely massacred by Ding Xingfeng. The children who narrowly escaped the disaster have now turned into evil spirits of the Way of Nirvana."

"This is the karma of Marquis Yizhou, and also his inner demon."

"Without the protection of the Martial Saint, even if he can cultivate and reach the sixth rank without the cooperation of the young princess, what will happen?"

"The Dao of 'Extinction' is an existence that can destroy even cause and effect."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, and prepare the celebration banquet for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

……

Seven days later.

Gu Fangchen opened his eyes again and found that the ground around him was full of blooming lotus flowers, surrounding him.

It feels like a golden lotus emerging from the ground.

"call……"

He let out a long breath and stood up from the lotus, and all the lotus flowers withered and disappeared.

Gu Fangchen sniffed and smelled a faint fragrance lingering in the entire dark room. He then confirmed that it was emanating from himself...

"Okay, okay, it's better than being covered in sour, smelly black mud."

He raised his hand helplessly and looked at his palm, and found that the evil flower transformed from the "heart poison" was still there.

"However, fortunately, my dantian and meridians have been reshaped, and I can now practice normally. This does not conflict with the spiritual power circuit formed by 'refining magic'. It is even equivalent to having two sets of meridians."

"With the support of the upper dantian, the soul is more stable."

Gu Fangchen narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, and moved his new body.

The excessive medicinal power of the Hunyuan Pill he had swallowed before was released during the reshaping process.

At this time, his cultivation level has already reached the peak of the sixth level from the initial stage of the sixth level!

Half-step master!
