All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

For the next few days, Fan Xian would come to buy books, and each time he would ask the robot shopkeeper if he had returned.

He was always told that his boss hadn't returned, which disappointed him greatly.

Fan Xian longed to see the bookstore owner and have a chat with him, but unfortunately, the owner had not yet returned.

Although Zhou Yongcheng knew that Fan Xian wanted to see him, he had no intention of doing so.

Fan Xian did not travel from the real world; he traveled from the previous era of this world. In fact, he traveled to the future world.

Zhou Yongcheng didn't find anything interesting to talk about with Fan Xian, so he didn't see him.

His only focus now is on Chen Pingping, wanting to see how Chen Pingping will manipulate Emperor Qing and pull him down from the throne.

Emperor Qing is something else. Ye Qingmei helped him get the throne, and he killed her. That's really typical of an emperor—ruthless and cruel.

As time went by, Chen Pingping quietly developed his own power, and he handled Emperor Qing's affairs perfectly, leaving Emperor Qing speechless.

In less than a year, Chen Pingping cultivated the Sunflower Manual to the True Essence Realm of the Innate Realm, and he also trained many Innate Realm experts.

At the same time, he also saw through Emperor Qing's strength: a martial artist at the Innate True Qi Realm.

He has many subordinates at the Innate True Qi Realm.

This world may have undergone a reboot, and there is a kind of energy in the world that people can absorb and cultivate.

This kind of energy is not spiritual energy, but rather an energy with similar properties to spiritual energy, making it very suitable for martial arts practitioners.

While secretly developing his power, Chen Pingping began his journey of causing trouble.

The first step was to target the crown prince; he sent skilled individuals to the crown prince's side to serve under his orders.

With the help of experts, the Crown Prince eliminated many hostile forces, further expanding his influence in the court.

Emperor Qing also noticed that the Crown Prince, who was usually disliked, was actually doing very well in the court, which aroused his suspicions, so he ordered an investigation into the Crown Prince.

When the Crown Prince learned of Emperor Qing's investigation, in order to further seize the throne, he contacted people to bribe some military generals.

Emperor Qing received some information from his subordinates investigating the Crown Prince. The more he read, the more alarmed he became. The Crown Prince actually had a master strategist by his side, and many of the spies he had sent out had been eliminated.

The information they obtained this time was acquired at great expense by their subordinates. Emperor Qing never expected that the Crown Prince would gain so much support without even realizing it.

That would be unacceptable. If the crown prince were to ascend the throne, how would he, as emperor, manage? Would he become an emperor emeritus?

He's a grandmaster, living to be over a hundred years old is no problem, he still has several decades to live. He hasn't even had enough of being an emperor yet, is it possible for him to become an emperor emeritus?

Moreover, after the crown prince ascends the throne, will he allow the existence of an emperor emeritus?

So he ordered Chen Pingping to purge the Crown Prince's faction of cronies. The Crown Prince, upon receiving the news, was unwilling to comply.

The Crown Prince won over some military generals and launched a coup. This coup caused bloodshed in the palace, resulting in many deaths and injuries, and even exposed all of Emperor Qing's hidden methods.

Many people now know that Emperor Qing is a Grandmaster, which makes people in the court even more wary of him.

The Crown Prince is dead; he was killed by Emperor Qing himself.

Chen Pingping used Emperor Qing to get rid of the Crown Prince, and the next targets were the Second Prince and the Eldest Princess.

As for the eldest prince, Chen Pingping had no intention of dealing with him, the reason being his mother.

After witnessing the Crown Prince being killed by Emperor Qing, the Eldest Princess gained a deeper understanding of Emperor Qing.

Anyone who dares to covet his throne, no matter who they are, can be killed.

Chen Pingping was much more careful when manipulating the Second Prince and the Eldest Princess. Last time, the person he sent to the Crown Prince's side made Emperor Qing suspicious, and Emperor Qing ordered him to investigate the background of the expert around the Crown Prince.

The people sent to serve the eldest princess and the second prince this time are from foreign tribes.

The Second Prince has a strong desire for power, coupled with the Eldest Princess's hatred for Emperor Qing, and the fact that they have powerful allies, they are sure to give Emperor Qing a run for his money.

During this time, Fan Xian also learned of his true identity, and Chen Pingping taught him the Nine Yang Manual, which allowed him to cultivate to the level of a terrestrial immortal.

When Fan Xian saw the words "Nine Yang Manual," he initially thought Chen Pingping was a time traveler.

They also tested Chen Pingping.

Unfortunately, the result was not what he wanted; Chen Pingping was not a time traveler.

But here's the question: who gave Chen Pingping the Nine Yang Manual? When asked, Chen Pingping remained tight-lipped about the matter.

As the power of the Second Prince and the Eldest Princess grew, Chen Pingping secretly plotted against the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

Chen Pingping did not let the Empress and Empress Dowager die easily; he wanted to torture them to the fullest extent, making them die in endless pain.

In the inner palace, Emperor Qing was furious at the sight of the Empress Dowager and the Empress in their miserable state. He ordered Chen Pingping to investigate who had harmed them.

Chen Pingping immediately ordered an investigation. He believed that Chen Pingping was behind all of this, but what could his men possibly find out by investigating?

Not long after, the Empress Dowager and the Empress died in endless agony. Their faces were contorted in agony as they died, a sight that was utterly horrifying.

After burying the Empress and Empress Dowager, Emperor Qing felt extremely tired and prepared to leave the capital to relax.

After he left the capital, the second prince and the eldest princess began to stir up trouble and launched a coup.

And it was successful.

Emperor Qing was extremely shocked when he learned of this; his house had been robbed the moment he stepped out.

He immediately dispatched troops to the capital. At the same time, the Second Prince also sent men out of the city to surround and kill Emperor Qing and his entourage.

Emperor Qing only brought his trusted confidants with him on this trip; he dared not bring anyone else.

Before long, the Second Prince's men arrived, and the two sides clashed.

Emperor Qing's side had many skilled fighters, but the Second Prince's side also had many skilled fighters, and the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

Although Emperor Qing is a Grandmaster, the Second Prince has a Xiantian Realm expert sent by Chen Pingping.

Emperor Qing had not expected that the Second Prince would have such a skilled fighter by his side; this was something he had not anticipated.

What made him even more doubtful about life was that he was injured. Upon seeing this, Emperor Qing's men quickly protected Emperor Qing and helped him escape.

The second prince's men wanted to give chase, but were stopped.

"Why don't you kill Emperor Qing? If Emperor Qing escapes, the consequences will be unimaginable."

The foreign expert gave a wicked smile and killed the person who had spoken.

"Do you know how to speak now?"

"I know, I know. A mysterious expert saved Emperor Qing."

"Very good, let's go back to Beijing."

When the Second Prince learned that Emperor Qing had escaped, he was so angry that he started smashing things. He was certain that Emperor Qing would return with his troops to besiege the capital once he had fled.

Sure enough, not long after, tens of thousands of troops arrived outside the city. Emperor Qing commanded his troops to attack the city and capture the capital.

This siege was extremely fierce, and many people died.

Emperor Qing stormed into the city and besieged the palace.

"Second Prince, I truly underestimated you. Tell me, who is supporting you behind the scenes? Is it Chen Pingping? Or someone else?"

Emperor Qing couldn't help but suspect Chen Pingping. The Second Prince had already rebelled, yet Chen Pingping hadn't received any news.

The Second Prince laughed loudly, "Chen Pingping? He's just a cripple. He wants to support me? I wouldn't even give him a second glance."

Emperor Qing frowned slightly. "If it wasn't him? Who was it?"
