Nine Regions Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 280 Dark Mystery Realm
Zhu Di took a deep breath to calm down his excitement.

At this moment, although he is very weak, he already has the domineering spirit of the past in his gestures.

Suddenly, Zhu Di's face was horrified. After the strange force in his body dissipated, he felt that the vitality that he hadn't dared to use freely for many years began to move around and rise rapidly, just like the rain after a long drought.

Chi Chi!

He instinctively transferred his vitality again, and the majestic vitality began to surge like a roaring flood, directly breaking through the bottleneck of the fifth level of his Profound Venerable Realm, and the majestic vitality did not stop there, but continued to flow brazenly, It wasn't until Xuanzun reached the peak of the sixth level that he stopped.

At this moment, Zhu Di was only one step away from the high-level Xuanzun realm.

This scene shocked Zhu Yuanhe and Prince Nahe.

Not only them, but even Zhu Di was a little shocked, feeling his own realm in disbelief, "This..."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Mo Chen said with a smile: "Your Majesty has had Heart-eating Blood in his body for more than ten years, making it impossible to break through, but His Majesty has not given up resistance for so many years, so his own vitality is also improving invisible. Now Heart-eating Blood has turned into nothingness, just like The confinement is no longer there, and the vitality roars like a flood, and it will naturally increase."

Mo Chen's words made Zhu Di and the others understand.

"Congratulations, Brother Huang." Prince He also congratulated.

"Congratulations, father." Zhu Yuanhe was sincerely happy.

"Haha, good!" Zhu Di had a deep smile on his face. Over the years, this is definitely the most heartwarming smile. He crossed his knees across from Mo Chen. Suddenly, his legs bent and he knelt down in front of Mo Chen.

"His Majesty."

Mo Chen frowned, and hurriedly wanted to help Zhu Di, the majestic king of a country, and the father of his best friend, how could he accept such a great gift.

Zhu Di didn't get up, but said sincerely: "If Master Mo Chen didn't take action, my life would not be long. I can't repay this kindness. Therefore, from today onwards, the Zhu family is here, and the Mo family is here. exist."

Zhu Di is sincerely grateful to Mo Chen, and these words also fully express his sincerity. If the Zhu family is there, the Mo family is there. Don't even think about touching Mo Chen.

Although Zhu Di saw Mo Chen for the second time, as a king, he naturally had a discerning eye.

With Mo Chen's monstrous talent, sooner or later he will soar into the sky. Such a person would not care about some false names in this small empire. Therefore, he did not promise Mo Chen any official rank, but used a friendship to send him to the sky. They draw closer.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mo Chen didn't refuse, just as he thought before, the Azure Dragon Empire is here, and the Tianyun Kingdom can also get good protection.

"Prince He, thank you this time, what reward do you want, just tell me." Zhu Di got up and looked at Prince He.

Prince He's complexion improved a bit, he shook his head and said, "As long as His Majesty is in good health, I have nothing else to ask for."

It can be seen that Prince He really didn't want any rewards, he just wanted to be an idle prince, and he didn't have any other ambitions, which was why Zhu Di trusted him and asked him to come here.

Zhu Di laughed and said, "Haha, then I will make my own decision and give the prince ten thousand taels of gold and make him a first-class prince."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He knelt down and bowed to the prince.

Zhu Yuanhe came to Mo Chen's side, patted Mo Chen's shoulder, and said gratefully: "Brother Chen, I won't say much if I thank you. Anyway, from now on, you and I are brothers."

In front of Mo Chen, Zhu Di did not have the airs of a king, nor did Zhu Yuanhe have the airs of a prince.

"Brother Zhu is too polite."

Mo Chen smiled, then looked at Zhu Di, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this heart-eating blood is colorless, tasteless and invisible, but there is only one way to inject it into the poisoned person's body, and that is to take it orally. I don't know how your Majesty eats..."

Zhu Di's face immediately darkened, how could he not hear what Mo Chen was implying.

Zhu Yuanhe said in surprise: "Father's meal has always been a matter of the imperial dining room, could it be..."

"It seems that someone did this on purpose, and behind it, the shadow of the Ye family may be indispensable." Zhu Ding said in a deep voice.

The Ye family really conspired for a long time. Since more than ten years ago, they have been conspiring step by step, infiltrating the three major dependent countries, as well as many forces in the imperial capital, and wooing many princely families. Their influence is enough to compete with the royal family.

If the princes are ranked this time, the Ye family becomes the number one prince again, and the old emperor Zhu Di dies again, the Azure Dragon Empire will naturally fall into the hands of the Ye family.

It has to be said that the Ye family has worked extremely hard for the Qinglong Empire.

Zhu Yuanhe said angrily: "This matter must be investigated."

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "More than ten years ago, they were able to do it so secretly. After more than ten years, there is no way to track it down. Even if they can find some clues, they will definitely not be able to find out about the Ye family."

Mo Chen agrees with this sentence, after more than ten years, nothing can be found at all.

But Zhu Yuanhe didn't give up, he resolutely said: "Even if there is only a slight possibility, we must investigate."

Zhu Di did not veto it, it was acquiescence.

Mo Chen suddenly opened his mouth, and asked with deep doubts: "Your Majesty, what do you think of Long Yuan?"

"Long Yuan?" Zhu Di didn't understand why Mo Chen suddenly asked this question, but he still replied: "Long Yuan has followed me for more than [-] years, and he never cared about fame and fortune, so he is loyal."

Mo Chen shook his head and chuckled, Zhu Di was puzzled when he saw this, "What does Master Mo Chen think?"

"Your Majesty, it's better to be careful." Mo Chen didn't say much, but just reminded.

Long Yuan has followed Zhu Di for so many years, and Zhu Di must have been very relieved of him. If he talks too much, it may make Zhu Di think more. Everything should be done. Mo Chen believes that as long as there are these words, with Zhu Di's mind , will never be ignored.

Zhu Di nodded slightly, obviously taking Mo Chen's words to heart, he suddenly looked at Mo Chen, "Master Mo Chen, the ranking of princes is about to start, I have a heartfelt request, I hope Master Mo Chen can participate."

Mo Chen wondered: "Can I still participate in the ranking of princes?"

Zhu Yuanhe explained with a smile: "Brother Chen, you don't know that the ranking of the princes is not just a competition among the princes, all forces in the empire can participate, and they are ranked according to the ranking. If the total score can surpass the eighteen princes , will distribute the military power of the princes according to the proportion of their achievements, and the top eighteen military powers in the end will be eligible to inherit the eighteen princes."

The eighteen princes of Qinglong Empire are not hereditary, but will determine the right of succession according to the strength of the princes' families. If other families rise up and surpass the original eighteen princes, they will replace them.

The ranking of the princes is just a name, and the eighteen princes are just a reference, a reference for all the forces participating in the ranking.

For example, Qiu Minghou and Hubohou, whose military power has been reduced by half now, are directly ranked by Zhu Di as the vassals of the [-]th Route. If other participating forces outperform them, their military power will be divided again, and they may lose the princes right of inheritance.

The eighteen princes are the targets of all forces in the imperial capital.

The ranking of the princes can be called the defense of the [-]th Route princes, or it can be a battle of multiple forces.

"I see." After Zhu Yuanhe's explanation, Mo Chen also understood.

The royal family may do this to prevent the princes from growing stronger, and the Ye family probably does not want to control their own destiny in the hands of others. As their power grows, they want to replace the royal family.

"Besides, the ranking of the princes is considered an experience. I hope that Master Mo Chen can participate in it. With the strength of Master Mo Chen, he will definitely be able to come out on top. Although Master Mo Chen has no background in military power and cannot become a prince, if he can If you overwhelm the Ye family, you can greatly reduce the military power of the Ye family." Zhu Di said.

Mo Chen asked: "Where is the ranking of princes held?"

Zhu Di said: "Dark mystery."

"Dark mystery?" Mo Chen's originally indifferent pupils suddenly flashed a deep interest. The Phoenix Divine Fire was brought out from the dark mystery. This time, he must leave.

"The Dark Mystery is a special existence that only opens once every ten years. This is why the empire will hold a ranking of princes every ten years."

Zhu Di introduced the dark mystery, "The dark mystery is opened for one month each time. If you can't get out of the mystery after one month, you will never be able to get out."

"Never come out?" Mo Chen was a little surprised.

Zhu Di nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right, forever."

Mo Chen wondered: "Isn't the dark riddle opened once every ten years? Could it be that no one can survive?"

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "It is absolutely impossible to survive, because the opening of the mystery is different every time. This cheat book has appeared in the Azure Dragon Empire for hundreds of years, and it has never been repeated every time it is opened. This is very likely to be a secret. The lost space runs along a certain trajectory."

"The lost space?"

Mo Chen couldn't help being curious, he didn't expect that the small Azure Dragon Empire would have such a lost space, and it was still flowing.

As Mo Chen, the peak powerhouse in his previous life, he naturally knows what this flowing space means. Generally speaking, it is formed after some fragments of the continent broke away from a very long time ago, that is to say, the lost space is not present. There are worlds, but fragments of the world that fell off a long time ago.

In it, the rules of when she fell out are generally preserved, which is of great help to the study of past world rules.

Moreover, such space debris generally maintains special rules, such as requiring a specific time to open.

"It seems that this dark riddle is interesting. I decided to go through it. If that's the case, let's go with the princes." Mo Chen secretly said.

Immediately, Mo Chen asked: "When will the ranking of princes open?"

"According to calculations, the dark mystery will appear in the next few days, and the ranking of princes will start in the next few days." Zhu Di said.

"In that case, I'll go in and have a look."

Mo Chen nodded, and then said: "By the way, Your Majesty, if possible, I hope to bring some people in."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Although the ranking of the princes is a competition between the forces of the imperial capital, there are also some casual cultivators who want to go in for the trial, so there is no rule about who can enter and who cannot."

"Everyone can enter?" Mo Chen was a little surprised.

In this way, isn't the ranking of the princes too confusing? If other princes put some people in as casual cultivators, wouldn't it be easy to cheat?

Zhu Di naturally saw Mo Chen's doubts, he smiled and said: "Every time the princes are ranked, our royal family will sit in town, except for the descendants of the princes and the core descendants of those forces, all casual cultivators will be registered and checked one by one. If it's suspicious, you can't enter."

"In short, the royal family knows every person who enters, and no one can fish in troubled waters."
