From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

Lin Wanqiu looked at him calmly with clear eyes.

After a long while, Lin Zu shook his head and said, "You have changed a lot over the years."

Lin Wanqiu looked indifferent and said, "I have never changed."

Although she is getting older, her inner essence has never changed.

"I know." Lin Zu nodded and continued, "I also know that you hate me, and I won't ask for your forgiveness. I always think that my purpose was not bad, but my method was bad."

Lin Wanqiu remained silent. It was so difficult to make a supreme being bow his head.

Even if another supreme being broke away from him, even if the emperor himself came out to make the final decision, even if he had been at war for more than ten years, it would not shake him in the slightest.

This is probably what the saying "bamboo can be burned but its joints cannot be destroyed" means.

But Lin Zu proposed to talk to her alone, and there should be more to say than this.

"Although I don't think I was wrong about what happened back then, it did cause great harm to you and your parents. This gift was obtained when I was young. I was able to have the Dao Fruit today and fully utilize the power of this item. Now I will give it to you two sisters as compensation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zu took out a emerald green jade plate from his arms and handed it to Lin Wanqiu.

The jade token is about the size of a palm, with a faint green light flowing on its surface, like a living thing, and seems to contain some kind of mysterious power.

"This is..."

Lin Wanqiu's pupils shrank slightly and changed color.

"This jade tablet is equivalent to a jade slip of inheritance. It contains a classic of earthly immortals, "Xuan Du Wang Qing Tian Shu". I think it may be helpful to you."

Lin Zu explained.

"Xuandu Forgetful Heavenly Book" is a classic that focuses on the cultivation of the primordial spirit. If one cultivates it to perfection, one can reach the realm of true immortality.

This is a truly transcendental classic, almost equivalent to a magical technique.

"If you practice this classic to the highest level, you may be able to comprehend the immortal power 'Xuan Du Slashing God' from it. Even the immortal's soul can be slashed down. The power is so terrifying that it is unbelievable!"

"But even I have never cultivated this method to the highest level. I am always one step short of it and find it difficult to comprehend its true meaning."

Lin Zu spoke slowly, regret flickering in the depths of his eyes.

In the end, Lin Wanqiu accepted the jade token.

Not only for herself, but also for Lin Chaoyu.

This classic might have been originally meant to be passed on to Lin Chaoyu. Now that it is handed over to her, it is just a token of thanks and has passed through her hands.

After presenting the classics, Lin Zu disappeared and announced that he would no longer take care of any mundane affairs. The last order he left was that all members of Lin Zu's lineage must obey Lin Chaoyu's orders from today onwards and no one is allowed to disobey. If anyone violates the order, he will be beheaded with the Xuandu Guiyuan Sword!

This also means that the Lin family will slowly move towards integration. The Changsheng family, which has been divided for more than ten years, has finally bridged all contradictions and become unified again.

"Sister, what did the ancestor say to you?"

Seeing the ancestor leaving, Lin Chaoyu flew over immediately.

Lin Wanqiu raised his right hand and showed the jade token in his hand.

"what!"

Seeing the jade token, Lin Chaoyu was stunned and asked in astonishment: "This, is this the inheritance jade token?"

The inheritance jade token bestowed by Lin Zu himself must not be as simple as an ordinary classic.

"The classic recorded in the jade tablet is called "Xuan Du Forgetful Heavenly Book"!"

Lin Wanqiu spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Lin Chaoyu was shocked: "The ancestor finally gave this method to my sister!"

Lin Wanqiu shook his head slightly and handed the jade token to Lin Chaoyu.

"The ancestor said to grant us two."

"Really?"

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Lin Chaoyu's face. When she was a child, Lin Zu taught her the "Xuan Du Wang Qing Heavenly Book" and below the "God Transformation Chapter". However, before Lin Zu could teach her higher-level content, he was punished to enter the battlefield between the two worlds.

Although she could feel some charm from the Xuandu Guiyuan Sword, it was only superficial. How could it compare to the jade token of inheritance with every word being a gem.

"The jade token is right here, how could it be fake?"

Lin Wanqiu smiled and said, "Chaoyu, keep the jade token and practice diligently. I believe it won't take long before you can break into the Saint Realm."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chaoyu immediately nodded excitedly and reached out to take the jade token.

But when she held the jade token, she hesitated for a moment and put it back into Lin Wanqiu's hand.

"There is still a long way to go, so please practice first, I will use it after you have used it."

"Okay." Lin Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly.

A blink of an eye.

A few days passed.

Lin Chaoyu came out of confinement.

"Zhao Yu, how is your practice going?"

"...no progress at all."

"How could this be?"

Lin Wanqiu asked in confusion.

"It's my heart..."

Lin Chaoyu covered his chest, looked at Lin Wanqiu with complicated eyes, and slowly said: "This is not my heart. Before it returns to its original position, I will not make any progress in the rest of my life..."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu's pupils suddenly shrank, and she instantly understood what Lin Chaoyu meant.

"Sister, I want to return your heart to you..."

......

Holy courtyard.

Sun Palace.

A young girl in a bright yellow dress stood quietly. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were bright as stars, and her facial features were exquisite, like a beauty walking out of a painting.

However, such a beautiful girl had an unconcealable look of fatigue on her beautiful face.

"After several months away, my dear disciple, you are finally back."

The Lord of the Sun Palace showed an expression of emotion, and there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at his disciples.

She never imagined that in just a few months, Xiao Minghuang had made the leap from just entering the King Realm to becoming a powerful Saint Realm expert at the sixth level of Immortality!

She also felt the shocking battle in the Southern Territory a few days ago. At that time, she was not sure whether her little disciple in the King Realm was really so powerful.

Now it seems that this is indeed true.

However, when she looked again, she found that there seemed to be a strange suction force in Xiao Minghuang's body that was constantly expanding, absorbing her magic power all the time.

"My dear disciple, what happened to you on your way?"

428. Find another way out

The Lord of the Sun Palace looked surprised and doubtful.

"I can't hide it from Master..."

Xiao Minghuang sighed lightly and told the whole story of how he fought against Taoist Siming in Daxia and how he was ambushed by the earthly immortal Zhenwu.

"...The seal I was hit with is called the 'Zhenwu Subduing Demon Seal' by the Zhenwu Earth Immortal. It can suppress the magic power in my body and gradually devour it. In the end...my Tao fruit will be completely devoured and I will fall into a mortal..."

She narrated in a calm tone, as if she was telling someone else's story rather than her own experience.

But it was this calm narration that caused the Lord of the Sun Temple to change his expression drastically.

She could never have imagined that her beloved disciple would fall at the hands of the Earth Immortal Zhenwu!

The Earth Immortal Zhenwu was so cruel and cruel that he could even come up with such a vicious scheme.

Doing this is essentially killing the future of the Holy Academy!

The Lord of the Sun Palace was silent for a moment, then whispered, "You wait here, I will go find the dean and ask him to come forward and seek justice for you!"

"Master, slow down..."

Xiao Minghuang had just opened his mouth and had not yet finished his sentence when the Lord of the Sun Palace disappeared.

"Ugh!"

Xiao Minghuang sighed softly. It seemed that the Lord of the Sun Palace didn't know about the relationship between her and the Emperor, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the Emperor for help.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Lord of the Sun Temple has arrived again.

She stared at Xiao Minghuang for a long time with a gloomy expression before she slowly let out a breath.

"The dean actually said 'don't bother with her'..."

"How could he do this!"

"In the next era, who else can take over from him except you?"

The face of the Lord of the Sun Palace was filled with grief, and she kept asking questions. It seemed that she was talking to Xiao Minghuang, but in fact, she was asking herself and even questioning the Emperor.

Xiao Minghuang clenched his palms and couldn't help but said: "Master, don't get excited. The Emperor must have his reasons for doing this..."

No matter what, she didn't want her master and the emperor to become estranged.

"Let's just assume he has a point, but how do we unlock this Zhenwu Subduing Demon Seal?"

Although the Lord of the Sun Palace leads the Holy Academy and is undoubtedly the strongest person under the Supreme Lord of the East, he does not know much about unorthodox practices.

"Master, I have studied this before. If I can break through to the Supreme Realm before the seal completely devours my cultivation, then the seal can be shattered by the balance of power."

"Moreover, by then, the mana stored in the seal will be transformed into my nourishment and help me reach a higher level."

Xiao Minghuang said slowly.

However, facing the plan proposed by Xiao Minghuang, the Lord of the Sun Palace frowned and looked at her with eyes full of heartache.

Then, she walked down the steps, came to Xiao Minghuang, touched her forehead, and said gently: "Silly girl, have you been confused by this seal method? How can one's realm drop while improving at the same time?"

"Master, I..." Xiao Minghuang was about to argue.

The Sun Palace Master waved his hand and said, "Alright, I will definitely help you to the end. If the Emperor doesn't care, I have another way!"

After saying that, she turned and walked out.

"Master, what are you going to do?"

"You stay here peacefully. Don't run around during this period. I have been practicing for so many years and I am not without friends. I will find a way for you now!"

As he spoke, the Lord of the Sun Temple looked towards the depths of the Holy Court, where the Emperor was, and said indignantly, "If you don't care, I can naturally find other people to help. Let's wait and see!"

Soon, the Lord of the Sun Temple disappeared from sight.

"Hey~"

Looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, Xiao Minghuang sighed softly. Although there was some helplessness in his heart, there was more warmth.

This time, she had intended to find the Lord of the Sun Palace and ask for some rare treasures to help her improve her realm, in the hope of breaking through to the supreme realm.

But the Lord of the Sun Temple obviously misunderstood her and did not follow her idea at all. Instead, he took charge of the whole thing.

However, ever since she embarked on the path of cultivation, she has never felt such care.

Although sisters such as Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu also care more deeply about her, these are indeed two completely different emotions.

Ye Ruoshui and other sisters cared for her as if she were a lover. Although the care they showed was warm, it was not appropriate enough and could not allow her to truly relax on specific matters.

But the Lord of the Sun Temple is different.

Xiao Minghuang is her disciple and her only disciple. In her mind, he is probably like her own child.

This kind of care is more like that of an elder or a mother. Their concern for her is full of care. Whenever she has worries, they will help her deal with everything quietly.

Although Xiao Minghuang has an indifferent and cold personality and doesn't care about family affection, she is not cold-hearted. She naturally has the simple emotions in human nature, but she never shows them in her daily life.

Naturally, she also longs for the care of her elders.
