Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Wujiu, don't blame father. Weiyang Heaven is too high in status. It is one of the most precious cave heavens hidden outside the heavens of our Shending Immortal Dynasty. Apart from the pure-blooded descendants of the Shending Emperor, the only one who can be sacrificed is the current Immortal Emperor..."

Ying Shigui's expression was filled with sorrow. "Of all the princes, I love you the most... Originally, the sacrifice should have been your brother Wuxin."

"When I sacrifice Wuxin and then help you take the throne, everyone will be happy."

"It's a pity that Wuxin was beaten to death in the Golden Palace by that rebellious son Ying Wuyi... I can only let you down."

Although Ying Shigui was heartbroken, his hands did not stop moving. He pinched a magic formula and gathered up Ying Wujiu's body, which had already turned into a puff of blood mist. He turned it into a blood bead, sealed it in a jade bottle, and handed it to Qiyang Tianjun beside him:

"Uncle, please quickly oversee the construction of the [Summoning Platform]. Three months from now, on an auspicious day, use the Immortal Emperor's blood essence to summon [Weiyang Heaven] to the lower world!"

"[Weiyang Heaven] is the trial cave for Yuanying cultivators. Logically, only Yuanying True Lords can enter it."

"But our Immortal Dynasty has its own secret method that can bypass this restriction... but it requires sacrificing a Dharma body to barely squeeze in a Divine Transformation."

"I didn't intend to keep this body anyway, so I just sneaked into it."

A sneer appeared on Ying Shigui's face:

"Don't the major sects in the world love to seize our blessed land? Fine! The fall of [Weiyangtian] will cause a huge commotion, enough to shake the world... Let them all come here to seek opportunities!"

“Even if I abandon my Dharma body, as long as my Nascent Soul is intact, I can still unleash the combat power of a pseudo-god, and naturally I can sweep away all the Nascent Soul True Lords in the world.”

"The cultivators of this world have been suppressing my Divine Cauldron cultivators for tens of thousands of years. It's time to collect some interest."

"This time, I will capture all the Yuanying Tianjiao from all the sects in the world, and let them also taste the taste of the Tianjiao generation being cut off..."

"Good, good, good!" Qi Yang Tianjun laughed and said, "Kill him! Kill him until rivers of blood flow... My Shen Ding Xian Dynasty has indeed been silent for too long. Let those sects see who is the true master of the Xianzhou Realm!"

"What should we do with this little girl?"

Zhao Yuanxi felt a chill in his heart, and felt that this was the worst killing calamity he had ever encountered in his life, and his mind was working rapidly.

Ying Shigui said calmly, "With the Immortal Emperor's death, how should the Queen deal with it? This is a problem..."

"Queen, what do you think?"

Zhao Yuanxi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart. His mind became clear, and he suddenly kowtowed and said:

"Your Majesty, haven't you heard that the late emperor passed away, the ruler was young and the country was in turmoil, and the empress dowager was ruling from behind the curtain? This is also a rare image of a dynasty."

"Hahahaha!"

Ying Shigui laughed heartily upon hearing this: "What a great queen! You are truly a very clever person..."

Zhao Yuanxi's heart turned cold: "Just now he was pretending to be helpless and grief-stricken, and personally ended his own son's name. Now he is laughing like this again. This old man is really moody..."

Ying Shigui continued, "Since that's the case, let the Crown Prince [Ying Changsu] ascend the throne, and let the Queen Mother rule the country from behind the curtain."

Zhao Yuanxi pretended to be filled with gratitude and sobbed, "I will obey the will of the Heavenly Sovereign...but I am worried..."

Ying Shigui's expression became pleasant again. "I know you still have doubts in your heart... Since ancient times, there have been many queen dowagers who have ruled the country from behind the curtain. After returning power to the new emperor, many of them also had a good end..."

"You are a smart person and naturally know your limits. As long as you stay safe and do your duty, the many Heavenly Sovereigns of the Immortal Dynasty will also ensure your safety."

"I'll even cleanse your meridians and marrow, strengthening your foundation... and help you open more Nascent Soul acupoints!"

"I will only die for the Immortal Dynasty!"

Zhao Yuanxi kowtowed several times, and when he raised his head again, the imperial study was empty. Ying Shigui and Qi Yang Tianjun had long disappeared.

Inside the Shending Palace, a square-faced young eunuch was pouring night incense. The stench was overwhelming all around, but he looked indifferent, as if the harsh environment here had no effect on him at all.

"Xiao Yunzi." A white-haired old eunuch with a golden elixir level walked up to the young eunuch holding a scroll and said in a sharp voice:

"Xiao Yunzi, your luck has come..."

"The late emperor passed away suddenly, and the Empress Dowager moved to Ciqing Palace. She wanted to select a group of young eunuchs to serve in the palace. A few days ago, the Empress Dowager requested a list of all the young eunuchs in the palace and personally selected them... Your name was among them."

"From now on, you don't have to pour out the night incense in the bathroom. Go back and wash it carefully to get rid of the smell. Then follow me to the Ciqing Palace to meet the Empress Dowager..."

The eunuch named Xiao Yunzi was surprised to hear this, and thanked the old eunuch profusely. He quickly went back to his bedroom to wash up, and followed him to Ciqing Palace.

"The Queen Mother will question every eunuch who enters the Ciqing Palace individually. You must not speak carelessly, so as not to offend the noble."

As a young eunuch walked out of the palace gate, Xiao Yunzi stepped into the palace tremblingly.

He secretly looked up and saw Zhao Yuanxi sitting upright in the main seat, sipping spiritual tea gently.

After entering the hall, the originally timid "Xiao Yunzi" seemed to have suddenly become a different person. His whole body became straighter. He tilted his head and said lightly:

"Zhao Yuanxi, what do you want from me? Ying Wujiu just died, and you're in the prime of your life, ruling the country from behind the curtain. If you're not busy arguing with those civil and military officials, how can you have time to mess with a little eunuch like me?"

Zhao Yuanxi stood up suddenly and said cautiously, "How dare you! Who are you?"

Xiao Yunzi scoffed, "Alright, there's no way for the Divine Transformation Lord to monitor us here... If you have something to say, just say it now."

At this moment, Zhao Yuanxi's expression changed, and he whispered, "Senior Yunding, do you have a way to leave the palace and find a way to leave Shending Heaven and go to the human world? I have important information to pass on to my uncle."

This little Yunzi was the body of Yunding Tianjun who had transformed into a ghost cultivator. He shook his head when he heard this: "After Ying Wujiu's death, the palace was sealed off and martial law was enforced. Not even a fly could escape, let alone a living person."

"Senior is a ghost cultivator who has reached the level of a spirit. Is it possible that you can't get out?" Zhao Yuanxi frowned.

"The God-Transforming Heavenly Lords who were originally scattered all over the Immortal Dynasty have gathered together this time. Even I am a little scared." Yunding Heavenly Lord said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yuanxi was greatly alarmed upon hearing this: "What should I do... [Weiyang Heaven] will appear in the world in three months. This Nascent Soul Trial Cave Heaven of this rank will surely attract the vast majority of Nascent Soul True Lords who still aspire to the path of Divine Transformation. Then, then..."

"I'm afraid my uncle..."

Yunding Tianjun said seriously: "Then we can only let him wish for the best."
