Primordial Qi

There were quite a few people sitting in the small attic. A pot of tea had already boiled, but no one was in the mood to drink it. Gu Chenyu took a sip and it tasted a bit bitter.

"Brother, have we joined the game?" Lin Xiu asked.

"Oh, is there any need to ask? Now it's just the calm before the storm." Xiao Tian sighed.

"Indeed, I'm afraid that the entire Qingming Sect cannot escape responsibility now. Zhou Yuan is a very scheming guy." Gu Chenyu rubbed his temples, obviously having a headache.

"If we don't join his army, he will use dirty tricks. It's really too much." Lin Xiu clasped his fists together, obviously very angry.

"Three of you, the most urgent thing is to find a way to get out of here. Although I have lost my imperial aura, the other princes will not believe it, and Zhou Yuan will not admit it. I have been here for more than a month. What do you think the outside world will think?" Zhou Youwei's eyes were filled with apology. She no longer had the desire to seize the throne, and now she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"I'm afraid the outside world has already believed that the three of us and even the entire Qingming Sect have become your subordinates. No wonder the Qingming Sect's supplies have become increasingly scarce during this period."

Lin Xiu felt helpless. His ancestor was the leader of Qingming Sect, so how could he escape from the connection?

The three of them looked at Zhou Youwei, each with their own thoughts in their eyes.

"How about kicking her out of Qingming Sect?"

Lin Xiu came up with a powerful attack as soon as he opened his mouth. It seems that it is not impossible to drive him out.

Zhou Youwei's face changed. How could this guy be even more reckless than Gu Chenyu? He wanted to drive people away. She rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "You are hitting the face of the royal family. When the time comes, it will be an old man in the Royal Realm who will come to wipe out the Qingming Sect."

"This won't work, and that won't work either. What should I do?" Lin Xiu also rubbed his temples. His brain was not enough to think. He was fine with fighting and killing, but giving advice was another matter.

Xiao Tian touched his chin, thought about it again and again and finally sighed. There was simply no way out. He looked at Zhou Youwei and asked how to break the deadlock.

Zhou Youwei said in despair: "I have no choice. I can't think of any other way except to climb to that position, but this is obviously impossible. Now we are grasshoppers on the same rope, wuwuwu..."

"No, why are you crying again?" Lin Xiu was shocked. This woman is so grown up, why is she still a crybaby?

"I'm only nineteen. I haven't seen enough of this world. When I think about the possibility of dying inexplicably, I can't laugh anymore."

"Why are you crying when someone is dead?" Lin Xiu was puzzled.

Not only Zhou Youwei was stunned for a moment, Gu Chenyu's mouth twitched as well, and Xiao Tian even had tea leaves spraying out of his nostrils. Lao Lin was truly a genius, but why cry when he was dead?

After a pause, Zhou Youwei burst into tears again, sobbing, "I don't know why I'm crying! But I'm just very sad and want to cry, and the tears just flow out uncontrollably."

"Then don't cry yet. We three are the unlucky ones. First, we were beaten up for no reason, and the sequelae of forcibly breaking through the realm have not yet healed. Now we are forced to step into the battle for the throne. We want to cry but have no place to cry."

Zhou Youwei wiped her tears and started crying again as she spoke: "I used to be a carefree little princess in the palace. A few years ago, I suddenly had the imperial dragon energy, and my cultivation soared all the way to the heavenly realm. It would have been fine if I was kicked out of the palace, but I was also hunted down by my own royal brother. I..."

"Ok?"

There was a dangerous look in Song Wanqiu's eyes. She quietly appeared beside the three of them and suddenly pinched Gu Chenyu on the waist.

"what!"

Gu Chenyu screamed miserably. He was now in the middle stage of the Heavenly Man Realm, so how come his body was still so vulnerable? This girl could pinch him and hurt him just by wanting to.

Xiao Tian and Lin Xiu exclaimed, cold sweats breaking out on their backs. This is the case before they even become Taoist companions. They will definitely be beaten into meat patties in the future. Women are really scary.

"Master Wanqiu."

Xiao Tian clasped his fists, but suddenly he felt a pain on his head. Song Wanqiu hit him on the head with a chestnut. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Xiu was about to run away, but he found that his feet were stuck. Erhei bit his trouser leg at some point, so he couldn't run away at all.

"Everyone, it looks like we have to think about the fight for the throne." Gu Chenyu rubbed his head, feeling extremely headache about this.

"It's too difficult to win the throne."

"Why don't you tell us what information you have? We can't get involved in this matter without knowing the whole thing."

.........

The Dawu Dynasty will determine the legitimate son within a thousand years, and will ascend the throne after about five hundred years. The previous emperor will choose to return to his ancestral land or travel around the world. In any case, he will no longer participate in the affairs of the dynasty.

Only the legitimate son, that is, the crown prince, a prince who possesses the imperial dragon energy has the opportunity to seize the throne. Of course, not all of them may be princes. It may be a descendant of a previous emperor who possesses the imperial dragon energy, or it may be a person without royal blood.

These are all stumbling blocks on the road to succession. If one wants to become the crown prince, one must clear away all stumbling blocks that stand in the way, especially those who do not have royal blood. The princes will choose to eliminate those people, otherwise it will cause turmoil in the dynasty.

"The imperial dragon energy can only be in one person's hands to make the dynasty belong to one person. You may not know the strength of His Majesty. His divine consciousness can cover the entire Dawu Dynasty."

"hiss."

Several people took a deep breath. Even the cultivators in the Emperor Realm could not cover an entire continent, but that Majesty could cover the entire dynasty. How terrifying was his strength? Wouldn't the secret conversation be discovered at this moment?

Zhou Youwei shook his head and added: "It's not that he can detect everything, but once he finds something that is not good for the dynasty, he can find out in the first place. Our conversation will not cause unrest in Dawu, so there is no need to worry."

"Huh, you scared me. I thought I would be caught and beheaded for talking casually." Gu Chenyu smiled.

“Nanzhou is relatively small compared to other continents. Even three Emperor Realm cultivators cannot cover Nanzhou. If there really were cultivators with such a high level of cultivation who could have such a wide range of spiritual sense, the Daqian Dynasty in the north would have been destroyed long ago.” Xiao Tian also shook his head, thinking that this was a bit far-fetched.

"Perhaps those so-called supreme beings can do it, but I think it's a bit far-fetched. We don't know how big the territory of the Dawu Dynasty is, but I know clearly how small our Nanzhou is."

"Let's not talk about these for now. What are the requirements to become a legitimate son?" asked Gu Chenyu.

Zhou Youwei shook her head. She knew very little, but she could tell them the public news.

"First, you have to get the approval of the Royal Dragon Qi. As far as I know, any royal family member below the monarch realm has the possibility of obtaining it, but those at the monarch realm and above will not be recognized by the Royal Dragon Qi."

Xiao Tian frowned, interrupted Zhou Youwei, and asked, "The life span of a celestial cultivator is only a thousand years. Doesn't that mean that the offspring born to Your Majesty in his early years will not be able to succeed the throne? In other words, we can only fight against celestial cultivators at best?"

"That's not the case. Most of the princes in the early years chose to break through the monarch realm and obtain fiefdoms, but many chose to abandon their cultivation or freeze themselves. Once the imperial dragon energy enters their bodies, they will wake up and practice again to participate in the fight for the throne."

"Hiss, how many children does your majesty have, and how many of them can be chosen by the imperial dragon energy?"

"Your Majesty has thousands of descendants, which is still considered a small number. The previous one had as many as 3,000. Your Majesty's success in seizing the throne has stained his hands with too much blood."

"What? Thousands?" The three of them were full of surprise. What kind of stallion is this?

"But fortunately, there are usually only about a hundred people competing for the throne each time. The dragon energy of the emperor is limited after all."

Gu Chenyu suddenly felt a headache. This would at least lead to a bloody scene of a hundred sons competing for the throne. You know, the battle between nine sons for the throne in his previous life was dangerous enough. Now, in the world of cultivating immortals, there was a hundred sons competing for the throne. How many people would die?

"No wonder the North is watching with eager eyes, it turns out they want to take advantage of the chaos to start a war."

"That's not the case. The fight for the throne is just a battle between princes. There is also a fight for the throne in the north. The Dawu Dynasty is the one that will take the initiative."
