Chapter 296 Zhang Ruoji Becomes My Brother
Yunwu Commandery, Royal City, Royal Palace
Eight Princes Palace

"I actually became the unlucky guy Zhang Ji, the eighth prince of Yunwu Commandery?"

This is the information Zhao Shuang obtained after integrating the memories of his new body with the unfamiliar environment in front of him.

He had traveled through time again! Moreover, he had traveled to the world of Zhang Ruoji, the Eternal God Emperor.

The most important one is Hachioji Zhang Ji, this tragic and unlucky man who died because of Zhang Ruoji not long after he appeared.

When Zhao Shuang thought of the original owner's tragic fate and the 30 million beauties in the spiritual world, he was speechless.

But fortunately, this guy is still a prince, although he is only a prince of a lower-ranking county, but at least he is a prince.

As for the realm, it is only the Yellow Extreme Realm, but it is enough for Zhao Shuang.

After all, he has practiced countless three thousand great ways, techniques, and immortal arts, so it is not difficult for him to quickly improve his strength.

But a good cook cannot cook without rice, so even if you have many skills, magic arts, and three thousand great ways, you must have enough resources to improve your strength as quickly as possible.

Now he only has a few bottles of marrow washing fluid and a few thousand silver coins every month. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a pauper.

If you want to improve your strength and realm as quickly as possible, it is naturally impossible.

In this situation, Zhao Shuang, after careful consideration, decided to practice the Great Devouring Technique, one of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Although it ranked low, it was superior in that it could devour everything in the world and transform it into the necessary energy and vitality to replenish itself. This alone was enough.

Unfortunately, apart from the skills, magical powers, immortal arts, and the Three Thousand Great Daos in his memory, none of the other golden fingers, talismans, demon-refining pots, ancestral talismans, strange fires and other treasures were on him.

But with so many skills, magical powers, immortal arts, and three thousand great ways, it is enough for him to become the top powerful person in this world.

As for the rest, if there is no such thing, then there is no such thing!
After getting familiar with the new body, Zhao Shuang suddenly discovered that his Nascent Soul was still there.

He was just in a sleeping state, which surprised him greatly. Then, he tried to communicate, but found that his spirit was like a drop in the ocean, with no movement at all.

"Weird, what's going on?"

After trying to communicate for half a day without any results, Zhao Shuang frowned. With his knowledge, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

But it was also obvious that the Nascent Soul was asleep, with no signs of waking up, and no communication was possible. Most importantly, the breath had become very weak. After some investigation, it was found to be only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But he is only in the Nascent Soul stage, but the Foundation Establishment stage is enough for him now.

He can do a lot of things, far better than his current realm of Huangji.

"Fire bomb technique!"

"Fire Snake Technique!"

"Ice cone technique!"

"Kitojutsu!"

"Fossilization!"

……

Half a day later, Zhao Shuang was already in the palace. With the help of his Nascent Soul, he could only mobilize the power of the Foundation Establishment Stage, that is, the true essence and magic power to cast the five elements basic spell. It can be basically confirmed that he is now equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

But if they really fought, even a Jindan stage cultivator would not be his match.

After all, he still knows quite a few secret techniques and secret methods.

In this situation, Zhao Shuang felt that he could implement the original plan ahead of time.

However, now we still need to consolidate and understand our own situation.

You need to stay in your own palace and practice well.

Therefore, Zhao Shuang went out and told his maids and guards not to disturb him except for delivering his daily meals while he was practicing.

In fact, he didn't need to deliver meals on a daily basis, but he had no choice but to do so in order to avoid suspicion.

After all, even a master of the Heavenly Realm cannot practice fasting. It is only possible when one reaches the Fish-Dragon Realm.

So, Zhao Shuang had no choice but to do this.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, with the help of the "Great Devouring Technique" and the Nascent Soul dormant in his body, Zhao Shuang raised his realm to the Xuan Ji realm in just half a month. This is such a fast cultivation speed.

The aura and power that the sleeping Nascent Soul can release and mobilize have also increased a bit, which is equivalent to the middle stage of foundation building.

This greatly surprised Zhao Shuang. He had found a way to awaken his Nascent Soul and restore its full strength.

As for why he didn't ascend to the fairyland, but came to this world of Zhang Ruoji, the Eternal God Emperor, we can only say that it was because of time travel, and it was done by the Space-Time Administration.

One day, the voice of a maid was heard outside the palace.

"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, the Queen has ordered you to lead the palace guards to Concubine Lin's Yushu Palace and move her and His Highness, the Ninth Prince, to the 'Ziyi Side Palace'. From now on, Yushu Palace will belong to you and Concubine Xiao."

The maid's voice was filled with unconcealed joy. This meant that Concubine Xiao's status had risen another level. As expected, having the Queen's support was beneficial.

"Alright, I understand. I'll go now."

When Zhao Shuang heard this, he knew that the plot had begun.

His first role as a lackey villain began.

However, this is also good, as it is a good opportunity to see the still charming Concubine Lin and the Queen.

Then, Zhao Shuang pushed the door open and saw the palace guards.

There are six of them in total, wearing scale-skin armor, tall and strong, all of them are powerful martial arts practitioners.

Zhao Shuang himself was dressed in a golden robe with a jade belt around his waist. He had a strong body and long arms. He looked up at the six palace guards and said lightly.

"Let's go, let's go to Yushu Palace."

The six palace guards were perked up by Zhao Shuang's casual look, and a hint of fear appeared on their faces, making them look at each other in bewilderment. It was obvious that their martial arts skills were higher than Zhao Shuang's, so why would they be afraid of Zhao Shuang?

Although he didn't understand, he didn't dare to say anything more when he thought of the difference in their identities and status. He could only follow Zhao Shuang to Yu Shu Palace.

Yushu Palace was the palace of Concubine Lin, the most beloved concubine of Prince Yunwu, but now it was bestowed upon Concubine Xiao by the Queen.

The eighth prince Zhang Ji is the son of Concubine Xiao, but now he has become Zhao Shuang.

When Zhao Shuang arrived at Yushu Palace, he politely asked the maid to report to Concubine Lin who was taking care of Zhang Ruoji.

Not long after, Zhao Shuang met Concubine Lin, who was indeed the most beloved concubine of Prince Yunwu.

This was a frail and beautiful woman in palace dress. When she saw the eighth prince Zhang Ji, she instinctively prepared to salute Zhao Shuang even though she was the princess consort of the Prince of Yunwu.

"Empress Lin, please don't do this. I can't afford this. I'm here on the Queen's orders. Please ask Empress Lin and my ninth brother to stay in the Ziyi Side Palace. It's more secluded there, suitable for my ninth brother to recuperate. I hope Empress Lin won't make things difficult for me."

Zhao Shuang avoided Concubine Lin's greeting and slowly stated the purpose of his visit.

Although he is a "little villain", he won't do anything stupid.

"Your Highness, Eighth Prince, can you give me a few days? Chen'er just woke up and hasn't recovered yet."

Concubine Lin's voice was delicate and moving, and she seemed to be pitiful. After Zhao Shuang heard it, it was as if the sound lingered in his mind, and he began to think about it for a long time.

"Okay, but three days at most. This is the longest time I can offer my ninth brother and Concubine Lin. After three days, I hope Concubine Lin and my ninth brother will take the initiative to go to the Ziyi Side Hall and not make things difficult for me."

After pondering for a while, Zhao Shuang finally agreed under the expectant and hopeful gaze of Concubine Lin. "Thank you, Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

Hearing the answer she wanted, Concubine Lin was naturally overjoyed, and her originally pale and pitiful face also showed a hint of excitement.

Only the maid following Zhao Shuang frowned. Just as she was about to say something, Zhao Shuang stopped her with a look.

"Okay, Madam Lin, remember not to embarrass me in three days. Goodbye."

Zhao Shuang smiled slightly, bowed and turned to say goodbye.

Seeing this, Concubine Lin could only bow to him and return to her own bedroom.

……

After returning to his palace, Zhao Shuang closed the door and began to practice, not seeing anyone.

It was not until the next day that the Queen herself sent someone to invite him.

"Your Highness, the Queen invites you."

……

The queen wore a golden phoenix crown and a colorful phoenix robe. She was about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, beautiful and dignified, and exuded a noble temperament that was eye-catching.

Next to the queen was a beautiful woman who was dressed in palace clothes but looked as humble as a maid, with a pretty face full of flattery.

It was Concubine Xiao, the mother of the eighth prince Zhang Ji.

"Why didn't you let Concubine Lin and the Ninth Prince leave Yushu Palace yesterday? Instead, you gave them three days."

This was the question from the Queen after Zhao Shuang saluted.

It can even be said to be a crime.

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xiao was about to say something on behalf of Zhao Shuang, but Zhao Shuang spoke first with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My ninth brother is seriously ill and has just regained consciousness. It is not appropriate for him to leave Yushu Palace immediately. I am doing this to demonstrate your generosity, generosity, and virtue."

"You are magnanimous, virtuous, and good at speaking. However, you did not follow my instructions on this matter. The marrow cleansing fluid for the next three months has been cancelled."

The Queen sneered and said something that made Concubine Xiao pale, but she didn't dare to argue. Based on her understanding of the Queen, if she dared to plead for mercy, the punishment would only be more severe.

"As ordered."

As for Zhao Shuang, he didn't care about the mere three bottles of inferior marrow washing fluid, and spoke directly.

"Okay, go down!"

Seeing this, although the Queen felt that the Eighth Prince Zhang Ji in front of her was different from before, she did not think much about it, but just let him leave without any annoyance.

"Yes, as ordered."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuang naturally did as he was told and left.

Now I don't have enough confidence and strength to turn against the queen, so naturally I can only practice honestly first.

It won't take long anyway, so just be patient.

Not long after Zhao Shuang returned to the palace, Concubine Xiao, the mother of the eighth prince Zhang Ji, caught up with him. Concubine Xiao was also a Xuanji realm warrior, but she was far inferior to the Tianji realm warrior, the queen. In addition, the power behind her was not as strong as the queen, so she had to bow down and obey the queen's orders every day.

"Ji'er, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you kick Concubine Lin and her son out of Yushu Palace? Now, the Queen has deducted three months of marrow cleansing fluid from you."

Concubine Xiao complained directly,

"Don't worry, mother. I did this for a reason."

Zhao Shuang smiled slightly, with a deep and evil light in his eyes. He looked directly at Concubine Xiao and suddenly lost his mind.

The eyes that were originally bright and sparkling suddenly became dull and empty, like a puppet wooden sculpture.

"Mother, you must write down every word I say next."

Seeing his "masterpiece", Zhao Shuang nodded with satisfaction and gave instructions.

"Yes, Ji'er!"

Concubine Xiao had a dull expression and empty eyes, and her voice had lost its former vitality and became much stiffer and more rigid.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang spoke and passed on the skills and magical powers in his memory to Concubine Xiao.

As for why he used this method, it was naturally to make Concubine Xiao obedient, so as not to ruin his plans later.

Just like that, after Zhao Shuang finished imparting the skills and magical powers, Concubine Xiao recovered as before, but there was a dark mark in the depths of her eyes.

And this is the soul-capturing slave seal that Zhao Shuang planted using the secret method of spiritual consciousness.

There is no other way, this method is definitely the best choice.

……

Not long after, it was the Winter Solstice Festival, the day to activate the Divine Martial Seal. On this day, Zhao Shuang did not go there on the pretext of being ill, but chose to quietly come to an uninhabited mountain in the distance of Wangshan, and set up a formation on this mountain.

The function of this formation is only one, and that is to absorb the divine mark.

This thing is a kind of martial power granted by God, and what Zhao Shuang needs is this divine mark of martial power, because through his research, this thing contains unnecessary energy and vitality.

For him, it is a great tonic, enough to make him stronger.

In this way, he will be able to take control of the entire Yunwu County more quickly.

By then, it will be much easier for him to obtain resources.

Therefore, he must obtain these divine marks.

As the sacrifice began, livestock were slaughtered and their blood was offered to the heavens.

"Wow—"

The rich blood energy turned into a thick pillar of light, rushing straight into the sky, shattering the clouds and rushing into the vast sky.

Suddenly, a star fell from the sky and landed on the forehead of a six-year-old boy. It merged with the boy's body and turned into a scarlet "Divine Mark".

Seeing this scene, Zhao Shuang smiled slightly and directly activated the formation under his feet.

Suddenly, a huge black hole appeared in the void above his head, and a powerful force of attraction spread out.

Suddenly, the divine mark above the altar moved silently towards Zhao Shuang.

If Zhao Shuang was not sure enough, he would not dare to do this.

After a moment, one light spot after another was attracted by the black hole and pulled into Zhao Shuang's body. Zhao Shuang was also practicing the "Great Devouring Technique" to refine these divine marks into the purest vital energy, which made the vital energy in his dantian more and more, and his dantian became bigger.

In this way, his realm continued to rise, and soon he reached the small extreme level of the Xuanji realm.

And it has already reached the limit. As for the so-called supreme realm, Zhao Shuang has no interest in it.
