From space to the world, it takes trillions of years

In the vast and majestic palace, the critically ill old emperor muttered to himself.

He reigned for forty-five years, and at the beginning of his reign he dealt with those court officials who wanted him to be the heir before the throne.

Then he quickly put down the rebellion of the Eight Kings and wiped out the rebels who had occupied more than a dozen states and counties.

Later, he reduced taxes and levies, gave the people a rest, and brought peace to the country. Both his supporters and opponents had to admit that he was a wise ruler who brought prosperity to the country.

Decades passed in the blink of an eye. The young royal family member who came from a small border town back then has come this far. What else could he be dissatisfied with?

How could you not understand that living too long brings disgrace? But he still couldn't help thinking, how wonderful it would be if people could live forever.

Today he is the king of vast territories and hundreds of millions of subjects, and I have the power over life and death.

Tomorrow I will be a handful of yellow earth, accompanying the hills.

The concubines were crying one after another, but who knew how sincere they were.

The nearby prince knelt down and bowed his head, trying hard to suppress the smile in his heart. If his father had not left yet, the prince would have gone crazy.

In a daze, the old emperor recalled the chaos in the palace eight years ago.

A man in black was in the palace like an empty space, and even the masters of the palace could not touch the corner of his clothes. Soldiers from the capital were constantly transferred to the palace, but he still did not feel safe.

How powerful is this! Apart from the legendary immortals, who else is qualified to possess such great power?

He just didn't believe that there were immortals in this world who could create such a prosperous era.

It's ridiculous that those alchemists who fooled the late emperor allowed him, a member of the side branch of the royal family, to take great advantage and now they still want to continue fooling him.

But when being beheaded, who can use some magical skills to help himself escape death?

Who would have thought that when his life was about to end, God would give him a big slap in the face.

The immortal may have felt that the secular world was boring, so he left after causing a big disturbance in the palace. What in the world could be worth the immortal's nostalgia?

Eight years later, the old emperor seemed to see the immortal who had ascended to heaven that year appear before him again, talking and laughing, saying that he would take him to heaven to enjoy eternal life.

"Immortal...eternal life..." The old emperor wanted to sit up straight and shout, but after struggling a few times, he could not move.

The queen felt the hand holding her suddenly loosen, and then she fainted on the ground, and everyone was in a panic.

"The emperor has passed away!" There was crying in the palace.

On the far northern border, the immortal that the old emperor had been thinking about ran into a trouble that was not too big.

In the cramped inn, Chen Yu sat cross-legged on the bed.

This is the city of Xuansu County. Zhenhe County further north borders Daning’s neighboring country, the Daliang Dynasty.

Daning is located between mountains and rivers, with a territory of thousands of miles. It faces Daliang across the river, with a population and area roughly the same.

The two countries generally lived in peace, and intermarriages between royal families were common.

Originally, Chen Yu only planned to stay in the city for one night, but he didn't expect the critical point of breakthrough to come so soon.

Striking the traditional Taoist posture of five hearts facing the sky, he began to concentrate on attracting the spiritual energy around him.

As the Qingyun Gong was circulated over and over again, the spiritual energy in Chen Yu's body continued to grow stronger and was about to break through the invisible barrier.

He was very anxious in his heart, for no other reason than that there was too little free spiritual energy in the city.

In fact, spiritual energy is naturally close to living things. Although there are many people in the city, the total number of living things is far less than that in the mountains and countryside. Therefore, most of the spiritual energy gathers in the mountains, while the spiritual energy in the city dissipates.

Just a little bit, just a little bit, it feels quite uncomfortable.

If the opportunity had not been so fleeting, Chen Yu would have wanted to make everything right before making a breakthrough.

The first attempt was strong, the second was weak, and the third was exhausted. If this breakthrough fails, I don’t know when the next opportunity will come.

Just when Chen Yu felt that there was no hope of breaking through and was feeling discouraged, a stream of pure spiritual energy suddenly gushed out from the Niwan Palace. It was the long-hidden bead that was helping him.

Chen Yu hasn’t figured out the situation yet, but the opportunity is now and gone.

He immediately mobilized this spiritual energy and sent it to his dantian and throughout his body.

What's even more amazing is that this spiritual energy seems to have been refined by him, and he can control it at will, completely according to Chen Yu's wishes to strengthen his cultivation.

Soon, there was a faint sound.

The barrier of the third level of Qi Refining was broken, and the spiritual power in Chen Yu's body suddenly became much stronger, reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining.

This already belongs to the middle stage of Qi Refining, which is not the lowest level in the world of immortal cultivation.

It has only been a little over three months since he started practicing, and although he has inherited the influence of his predecessor, the fact that he has achieved this much shows that the aptitude of this body must be more than just above average.

Of course, the more important thing is this magical bead. Ever since it brought him here, this bead has been dormant in the center of his Niwan Palace.

In the past, Chen Yu had tried to wake it up more than once, but no matter what he did, it remained unmoved, not even the slightest response, as cold and arrogant as an iceberg.

Now that my breakthrough has been blocked, he suddenly helps me. It's really miraculous.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu tried again to communicate with the beads using mental fluctuations.

After his breakthrough, the bead no longer emitted spiritual energy, and soon became silent again. But just like at the beginning, it emitted a soft halo in his mind.

This time the bead responded, but there was no specific information, it just flickered gently, like a new, young life cheering.

Strange, how could a bead give me such a feeling?

Just when Chen Yu was confused, his body and soul suddenly felt a strong suction force coming from inside the bead.

There was a flash of light, and then it was as if nothing happened, and the room became empty.

Chen Yu stood in the center of the space, looking around this strange place.

The radius is about five meters, and there seems to be thick clouds above the head, and white crystal walls all around.

Is this the inner space of the bead? After traveling through time and realizing the importance of cultivating immortals, Chen Yu originally thought that no matter what happened next, he would not be surprised.

But an independent space was still far beyond his cognition.

Touching his arms, Chen Yu felt relieved when he saw the jade bottle he had picked up and was carrying with him was brought in.

Since picking up the bottle, he has not discovered what its function is, but it is indeed very magical.

In the bright sunlight, it always disappears and reappears suddenly, as if swallowing up all the light around it from time to time.

Chen Yu dared not expose such a magical treasure to others, for fear of being guilty of possessing a treasure.

Chen Yu leaned over and touched the black soil under his feet. It was not hard, but soft and moist.

It looks like a good place for farming, but unfortunately there is only a little over an acre of land. What should I plant?
