Huangxiu

Chapter 457 Secret
Unlike Gao Jiuqu who is lonely and longs for friends, he is calmer.

Gao Jiuqu is a gentleman, naturally a good candidate to be friends with.

The Question of Heaven's Secret Technique is indeed magical and hard to guard against. If you become an opponent, it will be very difficult to deal with. You can't just kill him directly.

It is better to be friends. Turning enemies into friends can actually help you.

Such as the danger of the mansion being destroyed this time.

If Gao Jiuqiu hadn't reminded me, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "After Brother Gao left, what happened to His Highness the Eighteenth Prince...?"

Gao Jiuqiu looked helpless.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him curiously.

Gao Jiuqu shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness the Eighteenth Prince is in a lot of trouble here."

"How troublesome?"

"Empress Shu has not returned to the palace," Gao Jiu said, "The emperor is furious."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "The emperor has issued an imperial decree, and the concubine dares to disobey it? Did the emperor issue an order?"

Gao Jiuqu shook his head.

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking: "It seems that the relationship between the Concubine Shu and the Emperor is very strained, right?"

Gao Jiuqu nodded slowly: "Back then, the matter of the Seventeenth Prince worshipping as a disciple of Wentian Cliff had already caused a big uproar. This time, because of the Eighteenth Prince, the uproar became even bigger. The Empress Shu was seriously ill and died because of this."

"Is it because the Emperor feels guilty that he cannot bear to issue an edict to force us?"

"...Maybe so." Gao Jiuqiu hesitated, obviously lacking in confidence.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Or the emperor knows that issuing an edict is useless and will only embarrass himself?"

"..."

Gao Jiuqiu coughed twice and looked away.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, are you tolerating this for the sake of the Seventeenth Prince?"

Gao Jiu said: "The Seventeenth Prince is not enough to make the Emperor do this."

"There aren't many princes who worship at Wentian Cliff, right?"

"There are six princes and several crown princes. The Seventeenth Prince is not the most outstanding among them."

"So the emperor is having a quarrel with her? An emotional dispute?"

If the Seventeenth Prince was not proud enough, under normal circumstances, the Emperor would have banished the concubine to the cold palace long ago and would not have tolerated such disobedience.

If he was so angry that he didn't issue an order and was worried about something, there might be other reasons.

It's probably emotions.

Gao Jiuqu nodded: "The relationship between the Emperor and Empress Shu is indeed different."

Chu Zhiyuan showed a curious look.

Gao Jiuqu felt a little embarrassed and said vaguely that he met the concubine when the emperor was in disguise.

He did not fall in love with Concubine Shu because of his status as emperor, so Concubine Shu liked the emperor as a person, not his power and status.

After Concubine Shu knew the emperor's identity, she left immediately. It took a lot of effort for her to find him and persuade him to enter the palace.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with emotion: "Lovers eventually become enemies, what a pity."

"It's a pity indeed." Gao Jiuqu also sighed: "But no matter what, the emperor's feelings towards the concubine are different."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

It seems that no matter which emperor, or which dynasty, he all likes to travel incognito.

He also likes to find women when he is incognito. The women he falls in love with at this time have a different status in his heart.

When the two had a quarrel, the emperor would often not easily use his imperial privileges and would handle it in the same way as ordinary people.

The two of them expressed their feelings for a while, and Gao Jiuqu told them another piece of news: the seventeenth prince was coming to Yujing.

In order to reunite with Empress Shu, the Seventeenth Prince has become a master and can walk down the mountain.

Chu Zhiyuan didn't care much, nodded and then talked about the statue.

Gao Jiuqiu agreed readily.

I will send a message back and ask Wentianya to send over the evil sect statues collected by him.

These statues are no longer useful to Wentianya, and if they were useful, they would have been used long ago.

……

Chu Zhiyuan said goodbye to him and came to Mingyue Tower to meet Li Hongzhao. He also made this request to Li Hongzhao, that is, to collect the statues of the evil sects in the world.

Li Hongzhao hesitated for a while, but finally agreed after being retorted by Chu Zhiyuan.

She then mocked Chu Zhiyuan for wishful thinking, saying that the evil sect could never be completely destroyed.

This is something that no one can do, and as long as human nature is like this, evil sects will never be eradicated.

Chu Zhiyuan told her to stop talking and do it even if it was difficult.

Li Hongzhao was so angry that he stomped his feet and left.

……

Chu Zhiyuan went out of the city again and went to Xu Yingying's manor.

When Xu Yingying saw him, she immediately circled around him excitedly, as if she was looking at a treasure.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and completely relaxed.

Xu Yingying readily agreed to his request to find the evil sect statue.

There must be statues of the evil sect in the cult, but I don’t know how many there are, but they will all be brought here anyway.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and thanked him.

Xu Yingying waved her jade hand, wanting to try with him how it would be like to practice after becoming a grandmaster. She was curious about the difference between that and when she was a grandmaster.

The two men put their palms together and practiced again.

……

Half an hour later, Xu Yingying opened her eyes, jumped up excitedly, and cheered.

After he became a grandmaster, the effect of being the Magical Pearl became even stronger.

Xu Yingying broke through several levels in succession and actually reached the ninth level directly, only one level away from perfection.

She was filled with emotion, saying that this speed of breakthrough was something she had never imagined before.

Even if he really held the Magic Pearl, he would not be able to reach such a speed.

Obviously, after he became Miao Lingzhu, his influence on her realm became stronger as the gap in their cultivation level increased.

When she was learning Kung Fu, it wasn't like she was slowly exploring the route by herself, but rather it was as if an external force was impatiently telling her the route that was most suitable for her.

As if it were a gift from heaven.

This feeling was so wonderful that it made her extremely excited.

Chu Zhiyuan waited for her joy to subside and then told her about his confusion.

How to reach the next level, and asked her whether the Jiuli Divine Sect had a grand master of the second level.

Xu Yingying said: "The leader has practiced to the second level, and it seems that he used the visualization method. It took more than 300 years to break through. You, don't worry about it. There is no need to think too much. The first level is enough."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

"We can continue to move up through the Nine Li Sutra, but in this world, the first level of Grandmaster is already the limit. It is too difficult to break through. It is not a problem of the technique, but the restraint of the power of heaven and earth."

"Bound by the power of heaven and earth?"

"In ancient times, our skills were different from what they are now, and we were also different from before."

“How are people different?”

"It is said that at that time, we did not have these three buildings to press down on us."

"…Why is this so?" Chu Zhiyuan was half-believing and half-doubting: "Could it be that someone dropped these three buildings into everyone's body?"

This is a bit unbelievable.

"This is caused by the changes in heaven and earth. Some say it is Chaotianque, some say it is Zhutiandian, and some say it is Zhentiangong. Anyway, there are many opinions, but it is impossible to break into all the buildings."

When Xu Yingying came to this point, she looked around, lowered her voice and came closer, saying softly: "This is a secret that is not written down and is passed down by word of mouth."

Her face was crystal clear, white with a rosy glow, and her eyes were lively and bright.

When he saw her, Chu Zhiyuan could feel the vibrant vitality.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Heavy heart.

The power of the Grand Master is strong, but compared with the power of heaven and earth, it is still too small.

If I want to break through the realm, isn’t that going against the heaven and earth?
It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven.

However, immortality is originally against the will of heaven. No matter how difficult it is, you must give it a try, otherwise it will be a waste of this trip.
