Jiang Chen took Princess Ruyi and Li Dongxuan back to Chunyang Taoist Temple in Jinxiu Mountain, Nanjun.
It was already midnight, so they arranged a guest room for the two of them, and asked Chang Ming and Chang Yao to boil some hot water for them, let them wash up, and then went to rest.
Early the next morning.
Princess Ruyi had already gotten up early and finished washing. After a night of practice, Jiang Chen also walked out of the room and happened to see Princess Ruyi standing in front of the palace door.
"Has Her Royal Highness the Princess been standing outside the palace for a long time?"
Jiang Chen asked in surprise when he saw Princess Ruyi.
"Please Mr. Chunyang take action to save my brother Zhou Rui!"
Princess Ruyi glanced at Jiang Chen, knelt down in front of him and bowed heavily.
"What are you doing, Your Highness Princess? Get up quickly and follow me into the palace to explain it carefully!"
"Last night I saw that the royal family and the Imperial Preceptor's Office jointly attacked you. I was still a little confused. Why is your brother involved now?"
"Hasn't he successfully ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor now? Who else can threaten him? Could it be that the royal family and the Imperial Preceptor want to rebel or control the current new emperor of the Zhou Dynasty?"
Jiang Chen quickly helped Princess Ruyi up, then entered the living room with her and asked her to sit down.
His main mission in entering the world of Xianxia this time seems to be to help the Heavenly Elephant Emperor Zhou Rui ascend the throne and secure the throne. Originally, he thought that some of the princes below would rebel, and he would take action to bring order to the chaos.
But later I heard that Tianxiang Emperor Zhou Rui had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and he had also issued decrees, cut down vassals, rectified the administration of officials, etc., and had done a good job.
Jiang Chen knew that the Heavenly Elephant Emperor Zhou Rui had no such brains, so he thought that Princess Ruyi was acting as his military advisor and giving him advice.
But now it seems that there are some problems, and he even misunderstood the main mission from the beginning!
"Things are very complicated. There are some things that I haven't finally confirmed, it's just my guess. But although the person sitting on the throne now is wearing the skin of my brother, he is not my brother!"
Immediately afterwards, Princess Ruyi told everything that had happened in the imperial capital recently.
Some of them she saw with her own eyes and investigated with her own hands, and some of them were reasonably deduced from the clues she already had.
But it shouldn’t be far from the truth!
"Cao De's words before he died completely awakened me. The person sitting on the throne now is not my brother Zhou Rui at all, but my father, Emperor Yuanchu!"
"There's just one thing I don't quite understand. My father is entangled in the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty and cannot practice the art of immortality. He can practice martial arts, but his martial arts is only at the first-class level and is far from a martial arts master."
"Furthermore, he has been pampered and pampered in these years. This first-rate martial arts realm is entirely a result of the accumulation of resources. His true strength may be equivalent to that of a third-rate warrior."
"Such a person has never even cultivated his soul. How can he seize the body of others?"
Although Princess Ruyi is very sure that the current Emperor Tianxiang is not his younger brother, he just has the skin of her younger brother.
But she still doesn’t quite understand how Emperor Yuanchu did this!
"There are all kinds of wonders in the world. Under normal circumstances, if a monk wants to seize the body of others, he must at least practice to the level of the visualization realm where the soul is out of the body, and then cooperate with the method of seizing the body to be successful."
"But it is extremely difficult to actually put it into practice. It is not easy to succeed, or in other words, it is not easy to be completely successful!"
"If you want to be 100% successful in seizing the body, you need to have the cultivation level of Yang Shen, which is only possible if you cooperate with the unpredictable method of seizing the body."
"But other people's bodies are destined to be inferior to your own, so even if you succeed in seizing the body, it will be very difficult to get back to the top."
"But there may be a way in this world for an ordinary person to take over another ordinary person, but this method may have many restrictions."
"For example, the person who wants to seize the body must be his blood relative and needs external assistance. Seizing the body cannot be done overnight. There may be many sequelae after the body is seized."
"If it is really Emperor Yuanchu who took away your brother Zhou Rui, then what do you want to do?"
Jiang Chen looked at Princess Ruyi and asked.
"Then can my brother be saved?"
Princess Ruyi asked instead without answering.
Jiang Chen sighed after hearing this, and then shook his head helplessly.
Regardless of whether the body seizure is successful or not, the person whose body was taken away may not be saved, because the first step in the body seizure is to erase the soul of the person whose body was taken away!
"Then Mr. Chunyang, can you help me kill Emperor Yuanchu?"
"I won't let you, sir, go in vain. I know that there are a lot of Yuan Stones in the royal family's inner treasury. I can take you to the royal family's inner treasury and take out all the Yuan Stones!"
Princess Ruyi said.
Although she has been hunted down by people sent by Emperor Yuanchu, if she appears in the imperial capital with great fanfare and in the royal treasury, even Emperor Yuanchu will be unable to do anything to her, unless Emperor Yuanchu wants to kill her on his back.
Sister’s crime!
"Can't kill!"
"Now my cultivation level is no more than that of Yang Shen Dacheng. For some reasons, my combat power is comparable to that of Xiaoyao Realm monks who have just entered the Five Qi Chaoyuan level."
"But the emperor has a royal family that enshrines Zhou Shenglong, a three-qi Chaoyuan monk, and Guoshifu Li Daoxuan, a four-qi Chaoyuan monk. I can't defeat either of them. If they attack together, I won't even have the chance to escape.
nothing!"
"But if there are enough Yuan Stones in the royal family's inner treasury, it will last longer than the Yuan Stones you gave me combined, then I can refine these Yuan Stones first, and then break through to the Xiaoyao Realm in one fell swoop!"
"As long as I break through to the Xiaoyao Realm, I will have the ability to fight them. Even if I can't kill them two, I can still escape from their siege!"
"But even if I really deal with Zhou Shenglong and Li Daoxuan, I still can't help you kill Emperor Yuanchu. Emperor Yuanchu is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and has the destiny of the dynasty. If I kill him, I will definitely be punished by the entire dynasty.
The backlash of luck.”
"Even if you are a Dao Lord, you will probably be injured if you face the backlash of the dynasty's luck. What's more, I am not even in the Xiaoyao Realm now. This is why the Xiaoyao Realm monks in the Great Zhou Dynasty are willing to call each other Taoist friends with a mortal like the Yuanchu Emperor.
There’s a reason.”
"Because of the good luck of the dynasty, monsters are hard to hurt, and the demons and monsters have retreated. Even those in the Xiaoyao realm with advanced cultivation are unwilling to kill the emperor. It's not that they can't kill, but they dare not kill."
Jiang Chen said helplessly.
The leader of the dynasty was blessed with good fortune. He was unable to practice Taoism and could not live forever due to his good fortune. However, he could practice martial arts, but he probably didn't make much achievements.
However, those who are blessed by luck are loved by heaven and earth. Even monks with advanced cultivation dare not kill the people whom heaven loves. When the time comes, they will not only suffer the backlash of luck, but in severe cases, they will also be punished by heaven. At that time, even if
Sanxian can also kill you!
"You don't need to do it sir, I can just do it myself!"
Princess Ruyi said with determination in her eyes:
"Although there may not be as many primeval stones in the royal family's treasury as the ones I gave to you, the quality is worse than the ones I collected for you."
"The Great Zhou Dynasty once secretly discovered a vein of Yuan Stone. It was claimed to be a primary mineral vein, but in fact it was an intermediate mineral vein, and a lot of middle-grade Yuan Stone was found in it!"
"Although a lot has been consumed over the years and a lot of rewards have been given out, the royal family probably still has a lot of middle-grade Yuan stones in the inner treasury!"
“I wonder if it’s enough for Mr. Chunyang’s cultivation?”
"Enough, enough, enough!"
"With these middle-grade Yuan stones, it's enough for me to break through to the realm of freedom!"
