Chapter 237 - Su Changyu, I’m Going Back to The Great Xia Dynasty Just For A Closure
Chapter 237: Su Changyu, I’m Going Back to The Great Xia Dynasty Just For A Closure
The Great Xia Dynasty.
Xia Qian was sitting inside the main hall.
He seemed unusually quiet during this period of time.
Ever since he had done everything, Xia Qian was certain of what he could and could not do, say, or meddle with.
Once his plans were leaked, it might cause him to die a terrible death.
He was going to kill his brother.
That was an unethical and immoral thing that would spark a great controversy and bring hate upon himself. Not a single scholar would dare to support him.
Hence, he had to do it very secretly.
However, there was something that Xia Qian had to do.
That was the Seven Kings relics.
In order to obtain the treasure of the Seven Kings relics, he had put in a lot of effort and even told the Great Ze Dynasty about the non-poisonous pill formula.
However, that was also the reason that he chose to give up the battle of the King’s Territory.
Although he knew that the King’s Territory was more valuable, he also understood that it was not something he could covet.
If it were the Seven Kings’ relics that were within the Great Xia Dynasty, he would be able to get his hands on them, but the King’s Territory had a great significance as it belonged to the five major dynasties and was left behind by the world’s cultivators.
Even if he coveted it, he wouldn’t take the risk.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the main hall.
“Greetings, Your Highness.”
The figure appeared and knelt in front of the Crown Prince.
“Shoot.”
Xia Qian said in a calm voice.
“Your Highness, I have clearly investigated this battle for the King’s Territory. The five dynasties have sent top elites to compete in the King’s Territory.”
“The ten sacred lands, the cults, the demons, and some external forces have also gathered in the King’s Territory.”
He informed Xia Qian of the information he had found out.
“Alright.”
“Since this is the case, the prediction of the Heavenly Secret Platform should be correct. The battle for the King’s Territory is probably an unprecedented variable.”
“My plan can be implemented too.”
Xia Qian nodded in satisfaction.
He planned to personally go to the Seven Kings relics while the others competed in the King’s Territory.
As long as all the geniuses headed to the King’s Territory, there would be no one to compete with him for the Seven Kings relics.
“Your Highness, are we really not going to participate in the battle of the King’s Territory this time?”
The person asked as he looked at the Crown Prince with his eyes full of curiosity.
“No.”
Xia Qian took a deep breath.
He then spoke slowly, “The King’s Territory is a small world created by the Twelve Immortal Kings during ancient times. It would open once every 500 years and this might be the last time it opens, but that’s also the reason that I can’t participate in it.”
“There is obviously a great variable in this. Although there is creation behind it, it will likewise contain greater danger afterwards.”
“I don’t need the inheritance of the Twelve Immortal Kings, the inheritance treasures of the Seven Ancient Kings are not inferior either.”
“Okay, the battle of the King’s Territory will take place in five days. Get your people to make arrangements for this matter.”
After saying that, Xia Qian’s eyes were full of confidence and expectations.
Although the Twelve Immortal Kings were more famous than the Seven Ancient Kings, they could not be compared.
The Twelve Immortal Kings were supreme immortals who existed in the early ancient times.
The Seven Ancient Kings were supreme immortals who existed in the late ancient times.
In comparison, the Seven Ancient Kings were indeed unlike the Twelve Immortal Kings, but they were just as famous as the most powerful immortals in the world.
Besides, the competition in the King’s Territory of the Twelve Immortal Kings was very stiff.
On the other hand, there was no one in the Seven Kings relics, so he was free to pick them up as he pleased.
He was full of expectations.
During this period of time, Xia Qian had been in a good mood.
At this moment…
In the Qingyun Dao Sect of Jin Nation.
On the rear cliff, Ye Ping was cultivating.
Before he went down the mountain, he had already entered the Golden Core realm.
However, during this period of time, Ye Ping did not cultivate properly and also slowed down because he thought that he couldn’t be too eager with it.
Now, he was about to go to the so-called King’s Territory.
Ye Ping naturally had to seize the time to properly improve his cultivation.
He sat cross-legged on the rear cliff.
The spiritual energy surged into his body.
A Golden Core was shining brightly in his dantian.
The Golden Core was saturated and large like a bright pear.
However, at this moment, the Golden Core suddenly split into two and a white Golden Core appeared.
It was Ye Ping’s Golden Core Dao.
He wanted to condense nine Golden Cores.
The spiritual energy was surging, and Ye Ping opened the Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rapidly.
A day later, the two Golden Cores were of the same size.
However, on the same day, the third Golden Core split open again. It was a green Golden Core.
Time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day.
Crack!
With a loud sound, the fifth Golden Core emerged.
It meant that Ye Ping had also stepped into the mid-stage perfected Golden Core realm.
Nine Golden Cores signified the Major Perfection of the Golden Core realm.
In his dantian, there were the colors gold, white, green, red, and blue.
There were Golden Cores of five colors that formed a circle around Ye Ping’s dantian.
Golden Cores of nine colors were signs of Greater Mastery.
However, in order to produce more Golden Cores, he would need more and more spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The reason that Ye Ping managed to form five of them previously was because the spiritual energy that he consumed earlier was still manageable and also because he had saved up a lot of spiritual energy.
Now that he had used up so much spiritual energy, there was no way he could continue cultivating.
At this moment, Xiao Muxue appeared.
She was standing near Ye Ping and sizing him up. Ye Ping’s eyes had now turned golden.
A moment later, Xiao Muxue nodded in satisfaction.
“Ye Ping is really a supreme elite. How dare he form Golden Cores. Tsk, tsk, he seems to be in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, but I bet even a cultivator who’s in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm might not be able to defeat Ye Ping.”
“Ye Ping, you’ve only cultivated for almost a year and your growth rate is simply exaggerated.”
“I wonder if the battle in the King’s Territory can allow you to obtain creation. If you can, it’ll be much easier to handle what we have to do next.”
Xiao Muxue murmured in her heart.
At the thought of this, Xiao Muxue couldn’t help but speak up slowly.
“Little Junior Brother.”
Ye Ping immediately snapped out of his trance.
He looked at Xiao Muxue and immediately bowed.
“Greetings, Senior Sister.”
Ye Ping seemed extremely stern.
However, Xiao Muxue could not help but chuckle gently.
“Who?”
She asked Ye Ping.
Ye Ping was suddenly shocked.
‘I addressed her correctly.’
‘She is Eldest Senior Sister.’
Ye Ping looked at Xiao Muxue with some confusion while the latter had some joy in her eyes.
In an instant, Ye Ping knew that she had started her antics again.
However, Ye Ping really didn’t know how to answer.
“Senior Sister, how am I wrong?”
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn’t help but ask.
“Ye Ping, what did you call me?”
Xiao Muxue asked solemnly.
“Senior Sister.”
Ye Ping answered seriously.
“What Senior Sister?”
Xiao Muxue continued to ask.
“Eldest…”
“…”
Ye Ping stayed silent for a long time.
‘Seriously?’
‘No way.’
‘Eldest Senior Sister, why have you started being silly again?’
However, he genuinely did not know what to say.
He never thought that she could crack such a joke.
‘Ugh.’
Ye Ping stopped talking. He thought that Xiao Muxue had finally begun acting like a normal person, but to his surprise, she was never normal in the first place.
Looking at the silent Ye Ping, Xiao Muxue couldn’t help but laugh out loud in joy.
After a while, Xiao Muxue patted Ye Ping’s shoulder.
She said, “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. Ye Ping, come with me.”
However, Xiao Muxue didn’t plan to continue teasing Ye Ping and instead took him away from that place.
However, Xiao Muxue obviously wasn’t going to just leave right away. She waved her hand and in an instant, a jade flying boat appeared in front of Ye Ping.
The flying boat was made of jade and it looked extremely beautiful.
As Ye Ping stepped on the flying boat, it soon vanished into the void.
Just like that.
A day later.
In the sacred land of the central region.
It was the central point of the five dynasties.
It was also known to the cultivators of the world as the Central Sacred Land, which was rumored to be the birthplace of cultivators.
Moreover, the five dynasties were also interested in this region, and hence, it did not belong to a single force.
There were countless myths and legends about the Central Sacred Land.
There were legends of the Immortal Kings.
There were also legends of ancient immortal treasures.
In fact, there were now many people who believed that there were immortals in the Central Sacred Land.
However, there were indeed people who obtained the opportunity of creation in the sacred land.
However, today…
In the most central part of the Central Sacred Land…
A colorful immortal door appeared in the few canyons.
The immortal door was massive and it was a full hundred feet tall with peculiar rays of light flowing throughout. It looked incredibly extraordinary.
The massive immortal door was towering above, attracting their attention.
It was the entrance of the King’s Territory.
The immortal door was also called the door of the Immortal King.
A ladder appeared outside the Immortal Door, which was the Elite Ladder.
Only the true elites could enter.
Of course, if one had the ancient token, one would be able to slightly reduce the requirements.
On the sky dome, a few figures walked towards the door.
There were also countless cultivators standing tall on the surrounding canyons.
Today was the day of the opening of King’s Territory.
The battle for the King’s Territory was originally an event that would happen once every 500 years.
Although there would be casualties, most cultivators who entered would more or less obtain some creation.
Be it cultivators or mortals, they would not be able to resist the benefits at all.
At this moment, a jade boat appeared in the sky.
It was Xiao Muxue’s jade boat.
No one would pay much attention to such a jade boat.
After all, those who could come to the King’s Territory were all figures of status.
There were many Crown Princes, leaders of sacred lands, and elites.
Ye Ping stood on the jade boat and looked down at everything below.
He looked rather shocked.
There were cultivators on the few canyons, looking rather intimidating.
“Ye Ping, look, that’s the entrance of King’s Territory.”
“Take this ancient token and go there.”
Xiao Muxue said while handing the ancient token to Ye Ping.
“Okay, Eldest Senior Sister.”
Ye Ping nodded and grabbed the ancient token.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Muxue continued to speak.
“Ye Ping, bear my words in mind.”
“Firstly, there are many levels in the King’s Territory, and each one is different from the other. But as long as you follow the rules, there won’t be a problem.”
“Secondly, don’t trust anyone. Your own interests are the most important, and so is your life. Don’t lose everything you have for a small benefit.”
“Thirdly, if you get a Spirit Pill, eat it right away. If you get a treasure, use it right away. Don’t save it.”
“Within the King’s Territory, the realm is restricted below the Nascent Soul realm, but it can be raised after entering it. There are some geniuses who suppress their cultivation levels before increasing them to the Nascent Soul realm after entering the King’s Territory.”
“It’s very disadvantageous to a Golden Core realm cultivator like you.”
“So, if you get an immortal herb or Spirit Pill after you go in, eat it immediately. Don’t think about saving it and giving it to others, got it?”
Before leaving, Xiao Muxue also deliberately gave Ye Ping a few instructions, for fear that something would happen in King’s Territory.
“Don’t worry, Eldest Senior Sister. I understand.”
Ye Ping nodded.
He understood those things.
“Okay, since you understand, go ahead.”
Xiao Muxue nodded and then patted Ye Ping’s shoulder.
However, Xiao Muxue pulled Ye Ping again afterwards.
“Wait a minute.”
After saying those things, she took out a gourd of wine and handed it to Ye Ping.
“Ye Ping, if you encounter any danger, take a sip of wine, it will help.”
“Don’t drink too much, just have a mouthful.”
Xiao Muxue handed the wine gourd to Ye Ping.
She didn’t say anything else afterwards.
“Thank you, Senior Sister. I won’t let you down.”
Ye Ping took the wine jar and flew into the distance.
Soon, Ye Ping arrived at the Elite Ladder.
He stepped on the ladder.
In an instant, the ladder emitted light and Ye Ping had passed.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ping vanished from the immortal door.
Watching Ye Ping leave, Xiao Muxue’s eyes were full of curiosity.
“I wonder what realm Ye Ping will reach after he comes out of the King’s Territory.”
She was somewhat curious, but she soon looked away.
At this moment, in the Great Qian Dynasty palace.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at Su Changyu quietly.
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, Chu Rouyun, gazed at him, reluctant to part with him.
“Changyu, do you really want to go to the Great Xia Dynasty?”
Chu Rouyun looked at Su Changyu and asked.
“Yes.”
In the main hall, Su Changyu nodded seriously.
He wanted to go back to the Great Xia Dynasty to look for Taishang Xuanji and ask him for a clear explanation.
He came down the mountain this time to look for Taishang Xuanji.
God knows what happened.
He arrived in the Great Qian Dynasty.
Since there was nothing to do now, he planned to return to the Great Xia Dynasty sooner.
‘Wouldn’t it be nice to meet Taishang Xuanji sooner and make things clear?’
“What’s good about the Great Xia Dynasty? Changyu, don’t you like the Great Qian Dynasty?”
“Is there something wrong?”
“Did someone provoke you?”
“Do you still hate Fang Li? If so, I’ll have Fang Li come over and apologize to you personally. If you’re still displeased, I’ll get him to come here right away.”
“You can hit or punish him as you please.”
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at Ye Ping with his eyes full of expectation.
He didn’t want Su Changyu to go to the Great Xia Dynasty.
‘Isn’t it good to stay in the Great Qian Dynasty?’
There was plenty to eat and drink. Apart from the throne, he could give Su Changyu anything he wanted.
He looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Su Changyu immediately shook his head.
“That’s not the case.”
“I’m going back to the Great Xia Dynasty to get some closure.”
Su Changyu said.
In an instant, the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn’t help but be shocked.
‘Get some closure?’
‘What kind of closure?’
