"My ancestors were powerful and remarkable, but so what? You still don't understand, that was over a thousand years ago!"

"The current reign title is Jianlong, it's Jianlong!!!"

"No matter how much you nag, our ancestors won't come back!"

"Moreover, everything I have done is not for myself, but for the Chen family, for the great Han dynasty of my Chen family!"

"Even if the ancestor knew, he would still support me!"

"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste any more words with you."

He waved his hand and said, "Slay them all, but keep their primordial spirits for alchemy."

"As ordered!"

The black-robed cultivators escorted Qi Cheng and the others to the altar.

at this time.

A majestic voice descended from the sky.

"Chen Tiange, you are truly capable!"

The moment that sound rang out.

Emperor Jianlong felt a tremor in his heart.

"Who?!"

He looked up and saw a figure slowly descending from the sky, a white robe fluttering without wind, with what seemed like a river of stars flowing in the swaying fabric.

The man's face vaguely resembled that of a young man, but his eyes were as deep as an ancient, cold pool. His black hair was loosely tied up with a withered wooden hairpin, and he wore no ornaments or decorations except for a sachet hanging from his waist.

Emperor Jianlong's pupils trembled.

He couldn't sense the other person's cultivation level!

With his current level of cultivation, even if he were in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, I should be able to see through him!

That is to say...

This person is above the Nascent Soul stage!

and……

This person's features are exactly the same as the portrait of the ancestor deep in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!

Emperor Jianlong felt a tightness in his throat, and his blood began to boil involuntarily, as if a river was rushing and bowing to the ocean. His limbs and bones trembled slightly involuntarily.

"Great-great-grandfather?!"

He cried out in disbelief, his voice trembling.

"His Majesty?!"

Not only Jianlong, but also Qi Cheng, Dongfang Jingxing and others were dumbfounded. For a moment, they thought they were hallucinating before their death!

You can feel the familiar aura.

Only then can they be sure it's true!

Your Majesty Tianwu, whom we have not seen for a long time!

actually……

came back!

Immortal, descend to earth!

"Puff-"

Emperor Jianlong was suddenly awakened and found himself kneeling on the ground without realizing it.

"The Great Ancestor?!"

side.

The numerous black-robed cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Buzz!"

A breeze blew by.

They all turned to ashes and vanished into nothingness.

The canyon instantly became much quieter.

Just a thought.

It could annihilate the souls of many Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation cultivators!

See this scene.

The fear in Emperor Jianlong's heart piled up to an unbearable degree. He looked up at those eyes that contained the primordial stars, his throat so dry that he could not utter a sound.

"Emperor Taizu?!"

"Your son was unaware that Your Majesty would descend from the celestial realm to greet you earlier. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"Forgive me?"

Chen Sanshi said slowly and deliberately, "I'd like to hear what your crimes are."

"baby……"

Emperor Jianlong swallowed hard several times before finally managing to speak: "Your son...you failed to greet the founding emperor..."

He had only said half of what he wanted to say.

He felt an immense pressure coming towards him, and the power of the laws of heaven and earth gathered towards him, which would then tear him to dust!

This is not just a fear of death.

It is also a kind of reverence that comes from the source of one's bloodline!

"I am guilty! I am guilty!"

Emperor Jianlong had lost all his previous composure and kept kowtowing.

Let's go through them one by one.

Chen Sanshi's face was ashen.

“I’ll tell you everything, I’ll tell you everything!”

Emperor Jianlong trembled: "I have committed three great crimes!"

"First offense: planting the spirit grain was a disgrace to the reputation of the Han Dynasty!"

"Second sin: He should not have performed the blood sacrifice and practiced evil magic."

“The third crime is that he did not treat the former officials of the Taizu era well.”

After listening, Chen Sanshi slowly closed his eyes and remained silent.

"Great-Grandfather? Please let me explain, please let me explain!"

Emperor Jianlong kowtowed until his head was covered in blood: "The purpose of planting spiritual grains is to cultivate cultivators. Without spiritual grains, there are no elixirs. Without elixirs, how can the strength of my Great Han be maintained? As for those reputations, I think they are secondary."

"And the blood sacrifice, I was forced to do it!"

"Since my great-grandfather Yuanguang ascended to heaven, demons have been constantly invading the borders of our Great Han. I was appointed to the throne and inherit the great lineage in a time of crisis. However, my cultivation level is not high enough. If I do not quickly improve my strength, how can I govern the court? How can I gain prestige?"

"As for ostracizing former officials, that was not my intention!"

"Two thousand years have passed, and the court cannot remain unchanged. If those old officials keep clinging to their original positions, how can the court develop? If new people have no chance to rise, the world will be in chaos!"

"Great-Grandfather, everything I've done is for the court, for the sake of our Chen family's empire!!!"

Chen Sanshi listened silently to the other party's explanation before slowly opening his eyes. There was no longer any anger in him; Qu'er was calm, as calm as a stagnant pool.

He spoke softly, "Tian Ge, no matter what, you are also my bloodline. We are family."

"Yes, of course!"

Emperor Jianlong hurriedly said, "Grandfather, my greatest wish is to ascend to the upper realm and personally come to you to fulfill my filial duty!"

As the saying goes, "If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault."

Chen Sanshi said to himself, "As your ancestor, I also have a responsibility to educate you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't waste my time saying these words to them."

"First, the planting of the spirit grain was not simply to accumulate prestige, but rather to fulfill our original aspiration. This was the original aspiration of our Great Han Dynasty when it rose up. Now that you have lost your original aspiration, it is equivalent to destroying the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty."

"Second, a blood sacrifice is a blood sacrifice. I hope you, child, will stop making excuses. Your words and actions are exactly the same as those of Cao Kai and his ilk."

"Third, as an emperor, you can appoint and transfer your ministers however you like, as long as you are right. But your great-great-grandfathers advised you repeatedly to prevent you from going astray, and you not only ignored them but also poisoned them. This is repaying kindness with enmity."

Just now.

"You have confessed to three crimes."

"But in truth, you don't realize that you have any problems with these three sins. This is because you are beyond redemption."

There is no cure!

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianlong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and began kowtowing uncontrollably again: "Your son knows he was wrong, your son truly knows he was wrong!"

"but……"

Chen Sanshi continued, "After all, you are my bloodline, I won't kill you directly."

Emperor Jianlong was stunned, then secretly delighted.

He knows it!

I am a member of the Chen family!

How could our great-grandfather punish himself for the sake of someone unrelated?!

however……

Then Chen Sanshi said in a deep voice, "You are my bloodline. I have an inescapable responsibility for the state of the Han Dynasty today."

"So killing you directly is a form of escapism."

"Therefore, I will throw you into the Immortal Prison, strip you of all your cultivation, and then announce to the world that you will be executed in the mortal realm, thus atoning for my sins to the common people."
