Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Emperor Zhao had no hope of breaking through the barrier. Faced with the approaching end of his lifespan, he was unwilling to abandon the prosperous Southern Zhao Dynasty that he had personally built. Therefore, after he ascended the Phoenix Mountain to the Imperial City, he spoke with the celestials and traded with the immortals. He used the immortals’ secret technique to extend his lifespan for another 500 years!
He needed a Heart Sword to suppress the immortal abnormality produced by the immortal blood. In that case, he would not lose his mind and continue to stabilize his rule.
Therefore, his gaze landed on the Lin family’s Hua Jiebing.
Emperor Zhao naturally knew that treating the meritorious martial family like this would definitely attract huge criticism and even cause his prestige to be damaged.
However, he still made this foolish decision in the eyes of the world. In fact, he did not even hide it. He wanted to obtain the Heart Sword in front of the civil and military officials and many court officials and suppress the immortal blood to live for another 500 years!
He wanted all the court officials to know that he, Zhao Tianyan, could live for another 500 years!
He was still the Emperor of Great Zhao!
Emperor Zhao was confident that once he confirmed that he could live for another 500 years, those civil officials who had always supported him would still choose to support him even if they had some criticism in their hearts.
During the golden age, the Literary Department could flourish. Under Great Zhao’s martial suppression policy, the civil officials could increase their status and right to speak. Therefore, the civil officials did not want the royal court to be unstable. They hoped that Great Zhao’s prosperity could continue!
Most of the military officials and generals in the court might be angry and disappointed in him, the Emperor. However, other than the arrogant generals in the Martial Temple, most of the military officials and generals would still choose to support him, the orthodox ruler. So what if their hearts were no longer pure and loyal?!
Time could wear down many things.
Hua Jiebing from the Lin Residence could be exchanged for five hundred years of prosperity in Great Zhao.
Why not?!
In fact, with another 500 years of lifespan, he could even outlive the number one Emperor Yuan Meng in the world?
At that time, it would be time for Great Zhao to launch the North Expedition!
With the Northern Expedition as the slogan, those Martial Temple generals who had grudges would definitely submit to him again and support him.
At that time, it would be the time for the North Expedition to reclaim the Central Plains and create the true glory of Great Zhao!
Emperor Zhao’s eyes flickered, and the aura on his body began to gradually surge. Those who could sit firmly on the Emperor’s throne were naturally not without strength. They had obtained the cultivation resources of the imperial family and even had the secret treasures passed down.
His cultivation had stepped into the ninth realm. Although he could not compare to Emperor Yuan Meng, who was number one in the world, he was still an existence that stood at the peak of the world.
Even though his lifespan was about to end, if he could continue for another 500 years, all his doubts, criticisms, and everything would disappear.
Therefore, he was determined to obtain Hua Jiebing’s Heart Sword!
In fact, Hua Jiebing’s Heart Sword was only temporary. What he really coveted and spied on was the ninth realm Heart Sword of Attained Suzhu from Sensory Temple!
He looked at the Sword Qi Guanyin that enveloped the sky above the Imperial
City.
A determined smile appeared on Emperor Zhao’s lips.
He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the void in front of him.
The Primordial Spirit seemed to have rung an invisible bell, exploding into layers of thick clouds that covered the area.
Accompanied by a loud bell.
The White Jade Square outside the Heavenly Profound Palace seemed to have received the news. Primordial Spirits floated in the air and trembled. Waves of Primordial Spirit power laid out the Primordial Spirit Array and rushed into the clouds from the surroundings of the White Jade Square. It was like a cage of heaven and earth that enveloped the majestic Sword Qi Guanyin.
There was a net in the Heavenly Profound Palace and a Primordial Spirit Array outside!
This was a well-prepared plan!
The Primordial Spirit Array was densely intertwined. The final source of convergence was Emperor Zhao, who was standing in front of the Emperor’s throne in the depths of the Heavenly Profound Palace.
Li You ‘an frowned and knocked on Thousand Degrees in front of him.
The starlight soared into the sky.
However, before it could rush out, Qin Lishi, who had been lowering his head, moved. With a flick of his sleeve, an ancient bell smashed towards the Thousand Degrees that was filled with starlight.
Clang
There was a violent crisp sound.
The ancient bell shook violently from the impact of Thousand Degrees. The surface of the bell rippled, as if it could not withstand the sword qi and was about to be shattered.
In the Niwan Palace between Qin Lishi’s eyebrows, his Primordial Spirit opened its eyes and his face turned slightly pale.
It was still quite difficult to resist Li You’an’s sword.
“Where are the civil officials of the Heavenly Profound Palace?!”
As the leader of the officials, Qin Lishi was not afraid or retreat when facing the incomparably powerful Li You’an. Perhaps he could not stop Li You’an alone.
But…
At this moment, he was not the only one in the Heavenly Profound Palace.
After figuring out Emperor Zhao’s goal, Qin Lishi immediately made a decision. This decision was to continue supporting the Emperor.
As the head of the civil officials, he knew very well what it meant to Great Zhao if Emperor Zhao could really continue for another 500 years.
Only by following closely in Emperor Zhao’s footsteps could his family prosper and continue its glory.
Qin Lishi had already seen through Emperor Zhao’s goal. Forcing Hua Jiebing to attack in public and revealing his goal of obtaining the Heart Sword without hiding anything was a kind of declaration.
As long as he obtained the Heart Sword, Emperor Zhao could suppress the court again!
Many civil officials also understood the situation. Emperor Zhao continuing to sit on the Emperor’s throne was naturally a good thing for them, the Spirit Refinement officials from the Literary Department. It was an extremely good thing to be stable!
Because of this, the Literary Department could continue to be glorious and suppress the Martial Temple.
As for Great Zhao’s dream-like prosperity, if it could continue, they could still enjoy this ecstasy.
The Primordial Spirits of many civil officials surged out and surged around Qin Lishi. The ancient bell rumbled again and slammed into the famous weapon, Thousand Degrees..
