From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

The fluctuations of the battle at Siming Mountain just now were earth-shaking. It was undoubtedly a battle between supreme beings. It was normal for Ye Ruoshui to be worried.

"I'm fine." Xiao Minghuang waved his hand and pretended to be relaxed: "Where's Xiu'er? I have something to talk to her about."

As if she heard Xiao Minghuang's call, Xu Xiuer immediately ran out of the house.

"Your Highness..."

As soon as Xu Xiuer walked out of the door, the moment she saw Xiao Minghuang, a hint of shock immediately appeared in her pupils.

"Your Highness...you are..."

Ye Ruoshui couldn't see any changes in Xiao Minghuang, and could only infer from his breath that Xiao Minghuang might be injured.

But Xu Xiuer possessed the Eye of Fate, and was able to see that when Xiao Minghuang left, he was still at the eighth level of the Immortality Realm, but when he came back, he had fallen to the sixth level of the Immortality Realm!

Although he only dropped two levels, for cultivators, each level upgrade is extremely difficult and takes a lot of time, especially when it comes to the Saint Realm. Each small level upgrade is a huge gap and extremely difficult.

"Your Highness, you...how could you be like this? Are you the Taoist Siming?"

Xu Xiuer's heart was filled with turmoil and was unable to understand.

What exactly happened in this short period of time?

Could it be that His Highness paid a huge price just to save the Taoist Sima Ming?

"It's not Taoist Sima Ming." Xiao Minghuang shook his head, "Let's talk somewhere else."

Then, the group came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to rest, but did not call Luo Qianhua, Su Miaomiao and Sheng Bailan.

She didn't want to make more people worry.

"Your Highness, what is going on?"

As soon as he sat down, Ye Ruoshui couldn't wait to ask.

Xiao Minghuang took a deep breath and said:

"This is what happened..."

"That Zhenwu Earth Immortal suddenly used a sinister trick, and I didn't have time to guard against it, so I got ambushed..."

After hearing this, Ye Ruoshui was furious and cursed: "Zhenwu Earth Immortal has no moral principles. He actually attacked Your Highness. Damn it! Damn it!"

"Okay, I was too careless this time. I will be more careful next time."

Xiao Minghuang gently stroked Ye Ruoshui's back to comfort her, and then asked, "Xiu'er, do you think this seal can be solved?"

“It’s hard to say…”

After Xu Xiuer pondered for a moment, she said, "I can see with my Destiny Eye that there is a talisman in your Highness's purple palace that suppresses it. This should be the so-called 'Zhenwu Subduing Demon Seal'. It suppresses your Highness's mana and soul, and continuously devours them. Therefore, the function of this seal is not only to suppress, but also to devour."

"Moreover, I guess this seal can even completely devour your highness's Dao fruit and then leave. Your highness's cultivation level will be like that of a Zhenwu earthly immortal by then!"

"What a vicious method!"

426. Emperor Xia Abdicates

Ye Ruoshui cursed angrily and suggested, "Your Highness, why don't we go back to the Holy Academy and talk things out with the old dean, and ask him to force the Zhenwu Earth Immortal to release the seal!"

"Your Highness, Sister Ruoshui is right. If the old dean takes action, even if he is a Zhenwu Earth Immortal, he must give way to him."

Xu Xiuer nodded.

However, Xiao Minghuang shook his head and said, "It's useless. Since the Emperor allowed the Zhenwu Earth Immortal to appear in front of me, he has made up his mind not to help me."

"At least in this matter, he won't help."

"Ah? Why is this like this?"

Ye Ruoshui was a little disappointed, but then she cheered up again and said, "Let's go and ask the Lord of the Sun Palace to help us talk to the Emperor..."

"No need." Xiao Minghuang waved his hand and said, "We can't rely on him."

The last time he and the Emperor met, they had different paths and conflicting opinions, and ended up parting on bad terms. Xiao Minghuang didn't know whether the appearance of the Zhenwu Earth Immortal this time was a warning from the Emperor, or whether he had already given up on her.

But no matter which one it is, she will not go against her own heart.

Seeing that Xiao Minghuang was unwilling to return to the Holy Academy to find a solution, Ye Ruoshui had no choice but to turn to Xu Xiuer for help.

"Xiu'er, can you think of a solution?"

Being stared at by Ye Ruoshui with pitiful eyes, Xu Xiuer also felt very embarrassed, with a look of sadness on her face.

"This... this is the method used by the Earthly Immortals. I don't have any good solution..."

Although she could see the origin of the seal, it was not so easy to crack it.

But in the next moment.

Xu Xiuer suddenly had an idea in her mind, and her eyes flashed with surprise. She hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there is a way!"

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Ye Ruoshui and Xiao Minghuang said in unison.

Xu Xiuer pursed her lips and said slowly: "The so-called Zhenwu Subduing Demon Seal is able to suppress your Highness's magical power and even devour it because it is far higher than your Highness's power level. This is the power of an earthly immortal, which is one of the manifestations of the so-called immortal energy."

“If Your Highness can break through to the Supreme Realm, then the suppression of the seal on Your Highness will be greatly weakened. By then, if you can rely on a powerful treasure from the heavens, you can break the seal and get rid of its influence.”

After hearing this.

Ye Ruoshui was a little confused for a moment.

"Your Highness has been hit by a seal, and his realm will continue to fall. If you want to remove the seal, you have to raise your realm, and even to the supreme realm..."

Ye Ruoshui looked at Xu Xiu'er seriously and said, "Xiu'er, have you forgotten a very important issue? Your Highness is suppressed by the talisman, and not only can his realm not be improved, but it will even continue to decline. This method will not work at all!"

"This... this is the only solution..."

Xu Xiuer said bitterly: "Besides this, I can't think of any other solution..."

After Xiao Minghuang was silent for a while, his eyes gradually became firm, and he said word by word: "Xiu'er's method, I think it is feasible!"

"I will definitely reach the Immortal Supreme Realm!"

Ye Ruoshui and Xu Xiu'er were both stunned, then they reacted and their eyes lit up.

“I will definitely do it!”

Xiao Minghuang confirmed again.

She is so determined, how could she be easily frightened by a talisman?

"That's right, Your Highness, you will definitely achieve your long-cherished wish!"

"I believe you!"

They all nodded, with a strong and strange look in their eyes.

No matter when and where, they have unlimited expectations and trust in Xiao Minghuang.

The next morning.

After some preparation, Xiao Minghuang and his group planned to leave Xia Kingdom.

Originally, Xiao Minghuang planned to stay for a few more days and revisit the old place.

But now that she was trapped in the Zhenwu Demon Subduing Seal, time was the most precious thing to her and she could not waste even a single moment of it, so she did not delay any further in Xia Country.

However, she still left Ye Ruoshui to clean up the mess.

"Ruoshui, Daxia's affairs are now entrusted to you. Please make careful decisions on all matters and do not wrongly punish innocent people."

Xiao Minghuang explained seriously.

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Ye Ruoshui nodded and agreed solemnly.

However, among the many affairs of Daxia, the most important one should be the handling of the affairs by Emperor Xia himself.

After all, Emperor Xia was Xiao Minghuang's father, so Ye Ruoshui didn't dare to deal with him privately, so she asked, "Your Highness, what if Emperor Xia..."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's expression darkened and he said, "He is old now, and it is time for him to enjoy his retirement."

Hearing this, Ye Ruoshui's expression straightened and he said, "I understand!"

immediately.

Xiao Minghuang took Xu Xiu'er, Luo Qianhua and others to leave Daxia and return to the Holy Academy.

That afternoon.

The Emperor of Great Xia hurried back to the capital of Xia and issued several edicts the next morning, announcing the cessation of all foreign wars and the demolition of all ancestral temples of the Taoist priest Siming.

Restore all reputation of the Ninth Princess Xiao Minghuang and rebuild the toppled ancestral temple statues.

The next day, Emperor Xia issued an abdication decree, passing the throne to the third prince, and retired to Yile Garden, no longer involved in state affairs.

...

Yangzhou is the ancestral home of the Lin family.

A secluded place with winding paths.

There is a small stone table next to a bamboo house.

Next to the stone table are four stone benches.

At this moment, sitting on three stone benches were a white-haired old man and two women in their twenties.

The old man was none other than the Lin family's ancestor who had been punished to enter the battlefield between the two worlds. Now that Dongji and Nanhuang had ceased hostilities and both sides were preparing for a peace conference as normal, he could finally leave the battlefield and return to Yangzhou.

The two women are sisters Lin Wanqiu and Lin Chaoyu.

Lin Chaoyu stood up, took out a long sword from his sleeve, held it in both hands and presented it to Lin Zu.

"Grandmaster, this sword has protected me for more than ten years. Now that you have returned home in glory, I will return the sword to you."

Lin Wanqiu said respectfully.

"Yes." Lin Zu nodded slightly, picked up the long sword and played with it for a while, then said calmly: "Since I have given you this sword, it is yours. You don't have to return it to me."

As he spoke, Lin Zu waved his hand, and the last trace of Lin Zu's aura attached to the Xuan Du Gui Yuan Sword disappeared completely, and the sword became a completely ownerless object.

"This sword is yours!"

"Thank you for the gift, ancestor!"

Lin Chaoyu showed a look of delight and bowed quickly.

The Xuandu Guiyuan Sword has accompanied her since she was a weak child, and has continued to this day until she has made some achievements in her cultivation. It is impossible to say that she has no feelings for it.

She was indeed overjoyed that Lin Zu Neng could give her this sword.

"hehe..."

Lin Zu smiled and said, "Okay, go practice first. Your sister and I still have something to talk about."

Hearing this, Lin Chaoyu was startled. Instead of leaving, she leaned nervously against Lin Wanqiu.

"Ancestor...this..."

Seeing this, Lin Zu sighed softly: "Now I am just a criminal, what do you have to worry about?"

427. "Xuandu Forgetful Heavenly Book"

"Besides, even if you don't believe me, you should believe the Emperor, right?"

"I just wanted to talk to her, nothing else."

"But..."

Lin Chaoyu was still worried. Before coming, she and Xiao Minghuang had promised each other that if Lin Wanqiu really had an accident in the Lin family, how would she explain it to others?

"It's fine."

Lin Wanqiu pulled Lin Chaoyu's hand, nodded slightly at her and said, "Don't worry, Lin Zu just wants to talk to me."

Hearing this, Lin Chaoyu nodded helplessly, "Okay, then I'll wait not far away."

Then, Lin Chaoyu ran away. Although he could not hear their conversation, he could still see that they were indeed sitting peacefully on both sides.

Lin Zu turned his eyes and looked at Lin Wanqiu.

"Please speak, ancestor."
