Covering the Sky: Becoming an Emperor Through Sole Cultivation of the Sea of Wheels
Chapter 181 Conspiracy Theories
Chapter 181 Conspiracy Theories
After a period of preparation, the inside story of the Battle of Spring and Autumn City has been revealed.
"What? A divine-grade dragon marrow appeared in Spring and Autumn City. Anping Kingdom and Chiyang Kingdom fought for a long time, but in the end, a mysterious cultivator reaped the rewards."
"Are you kidding me?"
"These are just appetizers. Get ready for the next update: it's rumored that the cultivator who stole the Dragon Marrow possesses a divine restriction!"
After a series of crackling sounds, the cultivator who had gotten up from the ground roared, "Divine Restriction?"
"Do you know what the Divine Forbidden Realm means? It's sweeping across the world! Dominating the past and present! Even the most outstanding geniuses of the five regions today might not be able to step into this realm!"
"Are you dreaming or am I dreaming?"
Every time the news reached a new location, a similar scene would unfold, and then this shocking news would spread to the next place at an even faster pace.
The entire Central Plains was thrown into an uproar!
All the top talents were alarmed!
When the news reached Qishi Mansion, the entire academy was in an uproar. The newly admitted students were considered the most outstanding in ten thousand years.
The young talents of this generation were restless and could not calm down for a long time.
A nine-year-old child bluntly declared, "Fake news! It must be fake news! Even my older brother hasn't stepped into the forbidden realm of gods in this world. What qualifications does some guy who popped up out of nowhere have?"
"Someone must be trying to attract attention. If that person dares to show themselves, I'll kill them ten times over in one move!"
This child was named Wang Chong, and was the younger brother of the Northern Emperor Wang Teng.
There are quite a few people who think like him.
But many more people, many more powerful forces, the four great dynasties of Zhongzhou, eight of the nine ancient kingdoms, and the various schools of thought all have powerful figures leaving their mountain gates and heading to Spring and Autumn City!
I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.
Outside Spring and Autumn City, a scorched wasteland, resembling a battlefield that had survived the apocalypse, Ye Fan arrived late, riding the unreliable Black Emperor Teleportation Array.
Ye Fan scanned the battlefield with his divine sense and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Where did that damned Black Emperor send me? This is definitely not the Western Desert!"
"Please, please don't let it be some kind of dead end."
Ye Fan flew away without encountering any danger, which relieved him.
But he discovered that a great battle seemed to have taken place here not long ago. Such a shocking battlefield, he wondered what kind of powerful people the two sides fighting must have been.
He infiltrated Chunqiu City, and even after learning that the recruitment for Qishi Mansion had ended, he still resolutely rushed to Qishi Mansion, all for his good friend, Pang Bo, who had been teleported away by the Black Emperor.
According to Black Emperor's calculations, the teleportation array that Pang Bo was sitting on should have landed near Qishi Mansion.
After Ye Fan left, cultivators from all directions finally arrived, and these once-renowned powerhouses lingered on the battlefield.
The streaks of light in the sky never stop!
But Mo Wuji, the one who caused this storm, is now surrounded once again.
With great powers as generals and half-step great powers as soldiers, the killing intent is drawn but not released, and ambushes are set up on all sides.
The battle was about to break out, and the tense atmosphere was like a fully drawn bowstring.
At that moment, Mo Wuji directly and loudly questioned, "What, does your Anping Kingdom also want to fight me?"
"Young friend, you misunderstand. I have come here to discuss a business deal with you and to invite you to visit the capital of my Anping Kingdom, so that we may extend our hospitality."
Grand Tutor Xiao was very kind and approachable, his aged face radiating a benevolent expression. If one were to look at his political enemies in the Anping Kingdom's court...
Seeing the usually aggressive Grand Tutor Xiao with this expression, one's jaw would probably drop in astonishment.
Knowing Mo Wuji's extraordinary performance, the divine restriction and the significance behind it cannot be ignored by anyone.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Grand Tutor Xiao, the Xiao family, and even the entire Anping Kingdom would never want to offend Mo Wuji.
Princess Yu Die felt guilty for doing more harm than good and quickly stepped forward to explain, "Fellow Daoist Ji, things are indeed not as you think. We have come with sincerity this time."
Mo Wuji could sense the woman's sincerity; the stronger a cultivator's spiritual sense, the more astonishing it becomes.
At the same time, Grand Tutor Xiao also dismissed the others to show that he posed no threat.
Of course, it was also these people who thought that their current lineup could threaten Mo Wuji's safety.
However, Mo Wuji wasn't a madman who couldn't feel comfortable unless he killed someone.
Seeing that these people were so sensible, his expression softened slightly. "What kind of business do you want to discuss with me? Tell me."
Grand Tutor Xiao said with a gentle smile, "I see that you are in the prime of your life and have no worries about your lifespan, while an old man like me already has one foot in the coffin."
"My Anping Kingdom is willing to exchange divine materials of several times their value for the dragon marrow in your possession, young friend. What do you say?"
Mo Wuji's face remained calm, revealing no reaction whatsoever.
Princess Yu Die was anxious and said in an almost pleading tone, "If you are not satisfied with this condition, you may make any other demands. Anping Kingdom will never let you suffer any loss."
Grand Tutor Xiao's composed smile froze. How could you, a princess of the current dynasty, be more biased towards outsiders than I, an outsider?
If you keep wasting money like this, won't you empty the national treasury after you get married?
Mo Wuji weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Even if it was a rare dragon marrow, it was not a necessity for him.
A breakthrough requires a golden elixir, while healing requires a section of the True Dragon Immortal Elixir.
This deal seems to be entirely beneficial with no drawbacks?
After much deliberation, Mo Wuji finally agreed to the deal.
Then, Princess Yu Die, a peerless beauty, pleaded with him in every way, wishing she could stick to Mo Wuji.
Xiao Mingyuan gritted his teeth, but after being warned by Grand Tutor Xiao's eyes, he could only dare to be angry but not speak out, watching helplessly as the goddess he had been longing for took the initiative to throw herself into the arms of a man.
Under Grand Tutor Xiao's skillful maneuvering.
Mo Wuji finally agreed to travel to the capital of Anping Kingdom.
If I remember correctly, after the Immortal Abode Small World opened, a large number of people from the Xiao family entered it, which proves that Anping Kingdom should...
They possess the means to enter the Immortal Abode Small World.
Since Anping Kingdom is showing such sincerity, Mo Wuji is too lazy to choose anymore, since he can't avoid dealing with some forces anyway.
On the way to the capital of Anping Kingdom, through Grand Tutor Xiao's friendly conversation and Princess Yudie's deliberate attempts to get close to him, Mo Wuji finally learned that the recruitment period for Qishi Academy had already passed.
But even if we don't mention that there's already a guaranteed minimum, Mo Wuji wouldn't have felt regretful about it before.
After meeting the Emperor of Anping Kingdom and handing over the Dragon Marrow and Divine Materials, Mo Wuji was solemnly settled in the Purple Dragon Platform, a sacred place for cultivation, by Anping Kingdom with the highest honors.
The reason why Zhongzhou is different from other places and has so many ancient dynasties is that our ancestors discovered that building cities on the land of Zhongzhou can nourish the divine essence, evolve the great Dao of heaven and earth, enlighten the ancestral roots of the dragon veins, and make a pure land increasingly rich in spiritual energy, thus becoming a divine kingdom for cultivation.
Purple Dragon Terrace is a sacred land nurtured by Anping Kingdom over countless years.
This place is a place where dragons coil and tigers crouch, filled with purple mist, and naturally intertwined with traces of the Great Dao. Cultivating on this divine land can be one or two times faster than elsewhere.
Although it is not as good as the Taiqing Sacred Realm left by Lao Tzu.
However, there are only a few divine lands of the Zilongtai level in the entire Anping Kingdom, which shows how much the entire Anping Kingdom values Mo Wuji.
In addition, other applications and specifications are also based on the principle of being second only to one person and above ten thousand others.
There were over a hundred palace maids serving him, all with beautiful faces, some plump and some slender, each with their own unique charm.
But Mo Wuji could not be corrupted by such methods. He dismissed them all and devoted himself to studying the scriptures, comprehending the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and patiently waiting for the opening of the Immortal Abode Small World.
However, while Mo Wuji was enjoying a peaceful life, the entire Anping Kingdom was experiencing undercurrents and struggling to move forward because of him.
Leaving aside the fact that concealing the news of Mo Wuji, the God of Forbidden Lands, settling in Anping Kingdom and isolating himself from the covetousness of various forces, consumed a great deal of Anping Kingdom's energy.
The mere fact that Mo Wuji was using as a backup plan—that one cauldron of divine-grade dragon marrow—has already stirred up a turbulent and unpredictable situation in the Anping Kingdom's court.
They obtained the dragon marrow, but it could only extend a cultivator's life by a hundred years. In the vast Anping Kingdom, there were no fewer than a hundred elderly cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan.
The problem is not scarcity but inequality; distribution has always been a difficult issue.
Led by Grand Tutor Xiao and the Emperor of Anping, the court was divided into two factions, who fiercely attacked each other.
To Ping's surprise, the Anping Kingdom's emperor's side actually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Mo Wuji heard this news from Princess Yudie, who visited Zilongtai every few days.
Could it be that Princess Yudie originally intended to give Ye Fan a piece of divine land, but in the end Ye Fan was assigned to a desolate hut because of this?
But Mo Wuji always felt that things wouldn't be that simple.
In the original story, Princess Yudie, as a princess of a country, ventured into the Immortal Abode Small World alone, while the Xiao family, on the other hand, had a large entourage and devoted a lot of people to exploring the Immortal Abode Small World.
Even when the Immortal Abode Small World opened for the second time, Princess Yudie was nowhere to be found, while Grand Tutor Xiao personally took to the field.
And then, the divine dragon marrow disappeared without a trace.
Mo Wuji speculated that the Xiao family must have exchanged a share of Dragon Marrow for the exclusive development rights of the Immortal Abode Small World in Anping Kingdom.
Judging from the results, the Xiao family undoubtedly suffered a huge loss.
So, in the original story, the reason why the Emperor of Anping Kingdom agreed to exile Ye Fan to a desolate place was simply to lull the Xiao family into a false sense of security.
Good heavens, Ye Fan has actually become a scapegoat like Qi Dazhu.
No wonder Princess Yudie was able to obtain a drop of dragon marrow to send Ye Fan off in the original novel.
The sky was overcast that day.
Princess Yudie, the third most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou, with countless admirers, once again traveled all the way from the capital to Zilongtai without a single attendant to secretly meet Mo Wuji.
Princess Yudie gazed at the empty Purple Dragon Platform with her eyes as beautiful as stars in the night sky, feeling both happy and disappointed.
Good news: Ji Wumo is not interested in women, no wonder he is the man she favors.
The bad news: the romantic encounter between a single man and woman, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, is unlikely to happen.
Brother Ji, you can be a little bolder, I... I won't mind.
This time, perhaps the outcome of her relationship with this man will be revealed. Will it be a case of unrequited love?
Princess Yudie was so nervous that her ten slender fingers were almost tied in knots when Mo Wuji's telepathic message finally arrived, albeit belatedly.
"Your Highness, please come in."
As Mo Wuji brewed tea, he thought to himself: Why is this woman so troublesome? She comes to my place every day. Don't you cultivate? No wonder your cultivation is so bad.
But since they were the hosts, Mo Wuji couldn't very well refuse to entertain them.
Seeing Princess Yu Die gazing at him with a blissful expression, her delicate hand supporting her chin, Mo Wuji couldn't help but say, "Your Highness..."
"Are the rules of the Qishi Mansion really that lenient?"
"You haven't been to Qishi Mansion even once in the past few months, have you? Hasn't anyone come to check?"
Princess Rain Butterfly asked pitifully, "Brother Ji, are you looking down on me?"
The more beautiful a woman is, the more she likes to flaunt her beauty.
Take, for example, the third most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou who is acting coquettishly right now. She is already breathtakingly beautiful, and now she is acting as if her whole heart is devoted to you.
She was truly pitiful, capable of turning even the most refined steel into a gentle touch.
But Mo Wuji had also experienced and witnessed this move before, and his resistance to it was terrifyingly high.
He viewed women as skeletons, and beauties as bones.
We are not far from the state where all forms are illusory.
Princess Yudie before us is the best proof. She is the third most beautiful woman in the Central Plains. Many people desire to see her true face but cannot obtain it.
These beauties were deeply in love with Mo Wuji and threw themselves into his arms, but Mo Wuji still had no intention of being open and honest, and did not even reveal his real name or appearance.
Faced with Princess Yu Die's audacious behavior, Mo Wuji calmly replied, "Of course not, someone as peerless as Your Highness..."
"My beautiful lady, I long to get closer to you."
Princess Rain Butterfly didn't detect the perfunctory tone in her words. She was overjoyed, feeling that her goal for this trip was already a sure thing.
A blissful life of wandering the world, like that of a divine couple, beckons to her.
Then, Princess Yudie said, seemingly casually, yet also with a hint of complaint, "Brother Ji, I might have to get married!"
Mo Wuji listened calmly as Princess Yu Die recounted the whole story.
Based on his own speculation, Mo Wuji felt that the truth of the matter was that Ye Fan, who had attracted Xiao Mingyuan's hatred in the original work, no longer held that condition. Instead, Xiao Mingyuan took the opportunity to propose a martial arts contest to choose a husband for Princess Yudie.
In order to lull the Xiao family into a false sense of security, the Emperor of Anping Kingdom agreed to this condition.
Princess Yudie's martial arts contest to find a husband is in full swing and will be held soon.
Heaven knows how much Princess Yudie loathed Xiao Mingyuan when she received this news.
But then, Princess Rain Butterfly, who considered herself incredibly clever, saw an opportunity in the crisis.
Instead of begging her father to cancel the engagement, she came to Mo Wuji.
"Brother Ji, can you help me?"
Princess Yu Die looked at Mo Wuji with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness in her beautiful eyes.
She hit a straight shot!
Mo Wuji's emotions remained completely calm, which gave Princess Yu Die a sense of unease.
As expected, Mo Wuji didn't even lift his eyelids, calmly saying, "I will be going into seclusion for a while. Your Highness, if there's nothing urgent, you can simply reply, 'I understand!'"
Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, Princess Yu Die interrupted him.
She rushed out of the Purple Dragon Platform, distraught, unwilling to look at Mo Wuji again.
The once radiant third beauty of Zhongzhou lost her luster.
Princess Rain Butterfly wandered between heaven and earth, all alone, like a bird that had lost its nest, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.
She was, after all, the third most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou; even "a heartthrob" couldn't adequately describe how popular she was.
With such deep affection and months of devoted friendship, even a stone like Ji Wumo would have been warmed up by now!
Princess Rain Butterfly didn't want to look like a defeated dog.
She held her head high, trying to stop her tears from flowing, but in doing so, she saw the gloomy sky, a gloomy sky that made her feel oppressed.
