Da Feng: From copying golden entries to becoming an immortal in the mortal world

Inside the main hall of the Provincial Governor in Chuzhou City.

"Lord Zheng, I have thoroughly investigated this matter."

A young man in official robes hurried forward, his expression anxious, and respectfully reported to Lord Zheng, who was seated at the head of the table:

"According to the soldiers of the Northern Frontier, the Prince of Zhenbei has secretly colluded with the Witch God Cult, plotting to slaughter more than 300,000 innocent people in Chuzhou City in order to refine elixirs..."

The subordinate paused, swallowed hard, and a look of awe appeared on his face before continuing:

"Thus, the Emperor Gaozu, who was high in the heavens, saw through this evil deed."

"He could not bear to see his unworthy descendants commit such heinous acts of colluding with cults and harming the people of Dafeng, so his heroic spirit descended to earth on its own initiative."

At this point, the young man in official robes frowned slightly, as if hesitating whether to continue.

After a brief pause, he finally spoke:

"However, there is another story circulating among the soldiers in the North."

"A first-rank martial artist has already transcended the ordinary and attained sainthood, possessing great supernatural powers."

"Therefore, some people speculate that Emperor Gaozu may never have died at all, and may have been able to regain his youth through his unfathomable realm."

"Emperor Gaozu disguised himself as a young man and hid in the shadows, silently protecting the Great Feng Empire."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xinghuai sighed and said helplessly:

"You've worked hard, go and rest."

Soon, only Zheng Xinghuai remained in the hall, deep in thought.

They dispatched over a hundred spies to investigate the matter for half a day.

There is absolutely no news about the spirit of Emperor Gaozu descending to earth; it's all unfounded rumors.

The Prince of Zhenbei was a prince of the Great Feng Dynasty, yet he was killed within the territory of Chuzhou!

This is a huge deal.

Regardless of the identity of the Prince of Zhenbei, the Prince of Huai, as the number one martial artist in Dafeng, was actually killed on Dafeng's territory.

Wouldn't this be sending a message to the outside world that the Central Plains dynasty is weak and incompetent, and that the number one martial artist in the Great Feng Dynasty is nothing but a joke?

As for the news of Emperor Gaozu's divine intervention, Zheng Xinghuai was a scholar and he didn't believe it at all.

After all, it's a story about demons and monsters.

It's all nonsense written by those educated people, specifically designed to fool ordinary people.

He only believed that the Prince of Zhenbei died because of someone else's scheme!

Zheng Xinghuai felt somewhat powerless. He stared at the ceiling of the Provincial Governor's Hall and murmured:

"Could it be that the Great Feng's fortunes were truly exhausted in the Battle of Shanhai Pass twenty years ago?"

"Heaven is going to destroy my Great Feng!"

……

In an inn in Chuzhou City.

Zhong Li sat cross-legged on the bed, her delicate face now showing utmost seriousness.

A pale golden diamond pattern shimmered between her brows, undergoing a frenzied transformation.

The original gray diamond pattern gradually faded away, revealing its original luster, thanks to her efforts over the years.

This is her destiny.

[Keep going! Once my destiny is elevated, I'll never have to fear misfortune again!]

[Once my destiny is elevated, I'll never need my junior brother's protection again!]

A few days ago, when she woke up, she couldn't find her junior brother. Instead, she saw a black spirit sword guarding her side.

She quickly recognized that this spirited sword was none other than her junior brother's divine weapon, Zhutian.

Zhong Li realized once again that if she didn't break through to the fourth-rank sorcerer level, she would always be a burden to her junior brother and would never have the chance to protect him.

Perhaps, her junior brother no longer needs her protection; it was all just her wishful thinking and protective instincts.

But none of that mattered to her. So what if she was deluding herself?

Who told her to be the senior sister? So what if she couldn't help wanting to protect her junior brother?

Zhong Li did not feel discouraged; instead, she felt a surge of motivation.

In fact, she could have tried to elevate her destiny six months ago, but she was very timid and afraid of failure.

If she wasn't guaranteed to advance, she'd rather never advance at all.

But her junior brother said that she could be afraid, she could be timid, but she could not be cowardly!

Therefore, she needs to become brave!

hum-

Zhong Li slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and a pure golden light shone from the diamond pattern between her brows.

The rhombus pattern coalesces into a solid rhombus, constantly emitting a dazzling golden light.
