Chapter 722 The Capital of the Great Qian Dynasty
High in the sky, a gourd of wine soared through the air.

Several young disciples seemed to be exchanging whispers, but in reality they were secretly observing the Daoist in front of them. However, they dared not look too closely. It was rumored that this celestial being was addicted to killing. Within two or three months of his birth, he had destroyed three blessed lands and one holy land lineage. No one could control him. Some Dao-proving experts even speculated that he was the reincarnation of a peerless demon from ancient history.

Jiang He noticed some gazes, but didn't care. She simply inquired about the situation in Daqian.

"Replying to Daozi, the strength of Nanzhao Daqian is naturally vastly different from that of Zhongzhou Dayin, but it also has four Dao-proving beings, the strongest of whom is Emperor Qian, who held the [Ascending] position and reigned for seven hundred years."

"Since the heavens and earth were incomplete, even the high-ranking Daoists did not have long lifespans. Emperor Qian also reached his old age. It was not until twenty or thirty years ago that His Majesty, on the advice of his ministers, reopened the harem. However, he had difficulty having offspring. Despite his best efforts, he could only have two sons and one daughter."

"Therefore, the Great Qian sent people to Zhongzhou to seek scriptures and found the Longevity Sect. The sect leader and the Supreme Elder sent me here to refine elixirs and medicines for the Qian Emperor."

Qian Tuzi recounted the story in detail, explaining that based on his own cultivation and alchemy skills, he ranked among the top five in the Longevity Sect.

"...But medicine has its limits. It is abhorrent to the world. Extending life by one or two decades is already the limit of human potential. The Great Qian Dynasty pays special attention to the Great Accomplished Sacred Body simply because the Sacred Body's true blood can extend life by a hundred years."

"However, the Great Accomplished Holy Body is quite powerful, and it has also formed an alliance with the Flying Immortal Empress. The two have drawn a forbidden zone on the ground, and even the Qian Emperor is not confident of victory. But if the situation becomes irreversible, there may be an earth-shattering battle."

Jiang He calmly said, "There's no need to test it anymore. The Great Perfection Holy Body is very difficult to kill. It took me several attempts to destroy it. The Holy Body's true blood couldn't be left behind."

Qian Tuzi hurriedly bowed and presented several bottles of rare pills, saying in a trembling voice, "This old Taoist deserves to die a thousand deaths."

The young disciples, though bewildered, nervously followed suit and bowed.

Jiang He put away the pills, waved his hand, and asked, "Is the True Blood of the Sacred Body related to cultivation level?"

Qian Tuzi breathed a sigh of relief, sat up and replied, "In my opinion, they should be unrelated, only the amount is different. The true blood of the Holy Body can prolong life for a hundred years, but it is only effective the first time. If it is that Great Perfection Holy Body, I estimate that more than a dozen portions can be refined."

Jiang He nodded. No wonder the Sin Poison had increased so significantly. The Great Wilderness Sacred Body was indeed unique in some aspects. He had initially wanted to refine medicine, but fate told him that increasing the Sin Poison had the greatest effect.

The gourd flew all the way and soon arrived at the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty.

There are very few cultivators here qualified to fly, and Qian Tuzi, as the Imperial Preceptor, has some special privileges.

The city walls of the capital were bluish-gray, with magic arrays clearly engraved inside. The twelve city gates gleamed coldly under the midday sun. A long river ran through the city, and the pharmacies and medicine shops along the streets on both banks were filled with a misty spiritual energy. Some carriages pulled by demonic beasts rolled over the bricks and stones, converging on the imperial palace.

The gourd descended on Zhuque Avenue. The Imperial City Commander greeted the Grand Preceptor from afar, and no one came forward to inspect it from beginning to end.

When Qian Tuzi returned to his lair, he straightened his back unconsciously, but when he thought of Daozi beside him, he helplessly bowed slightly.

"Daozi, today is the Emperor's banquet. The Empress has hinted that Ning Mang, the son of the Minister of Revenue, is to marry the Princess. Of course, the official reason is that the Dao-proving experts of Xuanjian City have already formed an alliance with Daqian and are preparing to take action against the one from Jizhang Mountain."

As Jiang He was introduced along the way, he was already familiar with the Great Qian Dynasty. The Lord of Xuanjian City held the [Shooting the Hidden] position, and it was said that his arrows were always accurate. He once shot down several rounds of blessed lands and the sun and moon. The Heavenly Lord of Jizhang held the [Jizhang] position, and one of his abilities was to transfer damage to external objects.

As for [Dengchao], it is a powerful attribute that accelerates the process of things, ranking among the top ten of the Earthly Fiends.

As the group entered the palace, a eunuch in a python robe bowed and led the way. In a side hall study, Jiang He met Emperor Qian, the extremely old ruler of Nanzhao, who voluntarily stood at the door to wait for them.

"Greetings, Daozi." Emperor Qian clasped his hands in greeting, somewhat unfamiliar with the situation. "I wonder what brings you here, Zilin Chen?"

Qian Tuzi waved his disciples away and stood aside. Pei Qinghan was bored and stared at Jiang He's back. When she thought about the scratch marks she should have made under the black cloak, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Murder," Jiang He answered truthfully.

Emperor Qian was taken aback, then clasped his hands in a fist and said, “I have heard that when the Daoist said something, the entire Great Qian Dynasty would not disagree. But I am powerless to disobey the will of you great beings.”

Jiang He spoke with legendary willpower: "Kill one person and I will grant you ten years of lifespan. When I leave, I will live for at least a hundred years, but no more than two hundred years."

A bottle of pills was thrown out.

Qian Tuzi was slightly taken aback; it seemed to be one of the elixirs he had offered to Daozi.

Emperor Qian hesitated for a moment, then swallowed a pill. The power of time quietly shifted, and he suddenly froze on the spot, his pupils dilating in shock. A strand of black hair quietly sprouted among his silver hair.

"Daozi is truly the second parent of the Great Qian Dynasty."

Emperor Qian clasped his hands in a gesture of flattery, while also subtly highlighting his own power, as he controlled the entire Great Qian Kingdom.

"I wonder who you intend to kill?"

Jiang He nodded and said, "Qian Mang, Yuan Sheng Shen, Ye Bu Fan, and Tian Yi Lao Ren, the first three are the chosen ones. You should also know that the world now favors the demon race, and I do not want to see them grow up." Emperor Qian understood. The world was trying to destroy and reopen the world, and the three patriarchs of the three religions were trying to save the world from collapse. The key to reopening the world was the demon race. Targeting the chosen ones was probably the result of the meeting on the mountain peak.

After a moment, Emperor Qian said, "Qian Mang is my illegitimate son with Hua Mei. He is currently being raised in the Ning family and is named Ning Mang. But since this child is a hidden hand of Heaven and Earth, how can blood ties compare to the greater righteousness of the human race? Today, I will help Daozi eliminate this hidden danger."

Emperor Qian's attitude was cold and ruthless. Those who have attained the Dao and whose positions are aligned with the Heaven and Earth have essentially stolen some "authority," making them aware of the existence of the Child of Destiny and exempting them from some of the influence of destiny.

Let alone an illegitimate child, if Daozi were willing to give away all the longevity elixirs worth two hundred years, Emperor Qian would even be willing to kill all his offspring. After all, as long as one is young, there is still a chance, whether it is offspring or strength. He even wants to look forward to the Dao Integration stage.

Pei Qinghan quietly withdrew his sword, which had been drawn half an inch from its sheath. In fact, when Jiang He made the request, the power of destiny between heaven and earth had already secretly descended. Although it could not completely affect the path to enlightenment, it could make them hesitate, waver, and consider the consequences.

Unfortunately, the Great Sword Immortal who has reached the Dao can cut down anything.

However, in the eyes of the world, Pei Qinghan is still the Dao-proving sword immortal of the past. He is not only a powerful figure at the peak of the mountain, but also has no record of fighting against opponents of the same level or killing someone with his sword to prove his Dao. Very few people know about him.

"I heard Qian Mang is at the Emperor's Banquet?" Jiang He asked knowingly.

"I will now accompany Daozi to his seat," Emperor Qian said, bowing in invitation.

……

Meanwhile, in the northern part of Daqian.

Outside Xinglan County, Tianfazi easily killed a shiny black wild dog with a single lightning strike.

When he returned with his prey, Yuan Shengshen had already lit a bonfire. The boy wore a blue cloth headband, his eyes were bright and full of fighting spirit, like a young tiger.

"Master, your skills are truly divine. Thanks to you, we were able to escape from Dali. Now that our parents and relatives are settled, I would like to become your disciple."

The young man in the blue scarf stood up and bowed, his attitude sincere.

Beside the campfire, both girls turned their gazes toward each other. Su Yaoyao, dressed in a white dress with a light veil covering her face, was pure and ethereal. Luo Ling, in a black dress, was tall and slender, like a clever and agile sparrow. Both girls were at the Nascent Soul stage, considered among the most outstanding geniuses in the Nine Provinces, yet they both believed that their future was not as bright as that of the Yuan Sheng Shen.

Even though he is only at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage at this moment.

"I am honored by Your Highness's high regard." Tianfazi chuckled. "I have no interest in taking on disciples. I only intervened because I saw injustice. Besides, my fundamental method is not suitable for you."

Learning by mixing different skills is a profound art. If you only have the desire to become stronger, you will never understand it. No matter how high your cultivation level is, the fundamental purpose is still to "find a big brother". Otherwise, let alone the twelfth immortal realm, even if you advance to the fifteenth realm, it will be like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree.

Yuan Shengshen forced a smile, sensing the disdain.

He said with a slightly cold tone, "After we arrive in the capital and pay our respects to the emperor, I will host a farewell banquet for you, Daoist."

“Alright,” Tianfazi said with a smile.

Luo Ling was moved. Since the Luo Kingdom's Empress disappeared, the Luo Clan had been plagued by enemies who came one by one, leading to their decline and eventual annexation by the Great Qian Dynasty. However, if they could be treated with the respect due to former princes and nobles, they could at least avoid extinction.

"Black King!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.

A young man arrived from the altar, his face filled with grief and anger. He stared at the dog meat roasting in the campfire, his eyes bloodshot, and his Nascent Soul cultivation almost boiling over.

"I, Ye Bufan, will surely kill you all!"

"Run!"

Tianfazi used a Cloud and Thunder Dao Technique to engulf the three of them. Yuan Shengshen felt he had lost face in front of the two girls and couldn't help but say angrily, "Daoist, you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, what are you afraid of him for!"

"So you don't understand my Taoist teachings."

Tianfazi thought to himself, what if he were to fail without the suppression of five major realms? And his "elder brother" wasn't around at the moment.

A streak of light headed towards the capital.

Ye Bufan chased after him desperately. The Black King had always been blessed with good fortune, and now he was dying at the hands of this group of people. It was definitely a despicable frame-up.
