Chapter 413: Two More Missions Completed
If we were to describe the severity of Xuanyuan Sheng's injuries...
It doesn't seem serious, but with only a left hand missing and some damage to the meridians, it will heal completely after a few months of rest.
But the most important thing is not that I'm missing a hand.
Instead, it was a failure.
The Central Plains Dynasty has many princes, and the heir to the throne must be chosen from among them. Apart from a few who are truly uninterested, the remaining princes will fight tooth and nail for the position, even if it means killing each other.
However, Xuanyuan Sheng's defeat this time will become the best reason for the other princes to attack him.
Wasn't he supposed to be the most promising young genius of the Central Plains Dynasty? How come he was beaten so badly by a young girl that he didn't dare to fight back or say a word, and he just slunk back like that? I heard he didn't even dare to be assertive in his tone, yet he still wants to be the crown prince?
Such rumors have already spread within the palace.
Consort Shu was naturally extremely anxious and wanted nothing more than to kill Qin Yiyao immediately, or at least get revenge.
Because Qin Yiyao injured her precious son, only Consort Shu and Xuanyuan Sheng were disgraced. As for the other concubines and their bastard children... they would only thank Qin Yiyao, this weakling, for making her and Xuanyuan Sheng lose face!
Therefore, it wasn't actually for the sake of the so-called face of the Central Plains Dynasty.
More than anything, it was just for Consort Shu's own face.
Xuanyuan Wuji understood this perfectly well, so seeing her anxious expression, the Emperor of Zhongzhou wasn't worried at all. He had many children; if his current seventeen princes weren't capable of shouldering the responsibility, he could simply have more. He wasn't concerned about that. If Xuanyuan Sheng couldn't satisfy him, he would simply choose another prince to focus on cultivating.
He had plenty of time, and plenty of wives and concubines.
Anyway, his cultivation method is the Great Emperor's Inner Classic, which focuses on dual cultivation. The more wives and concubines he has, the stronger he becomes. Xuan Yuan Wuji is even considering whether to take another wife.
Xuanyuan Wuji pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "I understand. I will handle this matter. Consort Shu, please return."
"Your Majesty!" Consort Shu wanted to argue further, but seeing the cold look in Xuan Yuan Wuji's eyes, she suddenly fell silent.
She knew that if she continued, she would only anger the emperor and make Xuanyuan Wuji hate her even more.
She turned and left, but before she left, the look in Consort Shu's eyes when she looked at Consort Lan was extremely sinister, as if she wanted to see Consort Lan's beautiful face, which was filled with a faint sarcasm, to be torn apart.
At this moment, Consort Lan spoke up, her voice soft and alluring, as if capable of bewitching the soul: "Your Majesty, I think Consort Shu's words make sense. Although I don't know how much selfishness she has, that young girl has indeed damaged the prestige of the Central Plains Dynasty."
"..."
Xuanyuan Wuji had many thoughts in his mind.
Indeed, regardless of what Consort Shu is plotting, that brat Qin Yiyao, if she doesn't die, will one day grow to a point where even the Central Plains Dynasty can't deal with her.
One should not underestimate a prodigy who has earned the recognition of a celestial treasure.
But ultimately, some response still needs to be made.
Xuanyuan Wuji decided to wait and see for a while longer.
If she really doesn't have any powerful figures backing her up... then the Central Continent Dynasty should make her pay a price!
……
The Mysterious Saint Venerable continued to gaze at the sky, pushing his Star Gazing Technique to its limit.
In the vast starry sky, countless stars twinkle and intertwine, and amidst the boundless expanse, a dazzling star shines with brilliant light.
He strained his senses to perceive the aura of that star, and then he could feel that within the purple-gold light and shadow stood a tall and majestic phantom. He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, and he exuded boundless pressure, as awe-inspiring as a god who ruled over all living beings.
His entire body was filled with a terrifying and overwhelming aura, as if he could flatten the entire world with just a lift of his foot.
This is the image of a supreme celestial being!
The Venerable Xuanji clenched his fist in excitement.
This is the cause and effect connection of Emperor Taiming!
The Emperor's Destiny Star is about to reappear in the world!
However, this time, the Venerable Xuanji was hesitant to investigate the location of the birth of the destiny star. Last time, when he tried to peek into the secrets of heaven, the Venerable Xuanji almost killed himself.
But one thing is certain: the "Seven Destiny Stars" will soon appear one after another. Several have already appeared, and including the two this time...
Beyond the Emperor's Destiny Star, there is also the Crimson Demon Destiny Star!
In the sky, there were actually two stars that were particularly eye-catching. It was true that the purple-gold aura emanating from the Emperor's Destiny Star was magnificent and imposing, but the aura of the Crimson Demon Destiny Star was not to be outdone.
The Venerable Xuanji could observe a huge crimson demonic shadow occupying half of the sky. Its body was enormous, obscuring the starry sky, and even faintly carrying a trace of evil aura, standing shoulder to shoulder with the purple-gold phantom.
"The Crimson Demon Destiny Star..."
He couldn't help but murmur.
In fact, the Venerable Xuanji also knew that the Crimson Demon Destiny Star and the Supreme Emperor Destiny Star should both be inherited by their descendants who possess their bloodline.
After all, only the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal and the Supreme Emperor Taiming cared about bloodline inheritance. "Palace Master, what did you see?"
Elder Suzaku couldn't help but ask.
"The prophecies of our ancestors were all true!"
The Venerable Xuanji's voice trembled with excitement: "A great era has arrived!"
……
It wasn't just the Venerable Xuanji who sensed it.
Those with a special sensitivity to such celestial phenomena can actually sense that tonight seems to be the beginning of a "great era" that is about to unfold.
The Western Regions Boundary Sea, within the Dragon Realm.
The ancient dragon clan elder, who hadn't moved his body for over two thousand years, stood up, his mountain-like frame shaking off the dust and withered leaves. His deep, serene dragon eyes gazed at the distant sky, and he murmured a sigh.
On his head, the dragon horn that was missing half was particularly conspicuous.
In the Southern Wilderness, the Phoenix Clan resides. The Phoenix Goddess, circling atop the lava peaks, also cast her gaze upon the night sky.
In the Zhenyuan Palace of the Northern Desert, General Zhenyuan was confronting the evil void deep within the Great Abyss, but the unusual celestial phenomena caused him to momentarily lose focus.
Throughout the Xuan Tian Realm, those supreme beings who had lived for a long time and whose cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Supreme Saint realm all looked towards the night sky.
At this moment, even the strongest experts from the Eastern Frontier have already rushed towards the source.
But before they even got close to Yunling City, they felt immense resistance. A hundred miles away, a massive cloud vortex hung high in the sky like a hurricane, and the eye of the hurricane was that small city!
Although I really wanted to find out more, there was no way to get closer, so I could only watch from afar.
Meanwhile, at the Gu family's medical clinic.
Gu Heng had just finished cleaning all the rooms except Qin Yiyao's to ensure the windows wouldn't be blown open by the strong wind. After finishing, he sat in a chair, lost in thought about the hardships of life, when the system interface suddenly popped up!
"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission 'Imperial Mandate of Heaven' and successfully correcting the causal relationship of the damaged 'Supreme Emperor's Destiny Star'. Keep up the good work!"
"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission 'Disorderly Evil' and successfully correcting the causality of the damaged 'Crimson Demon Destiny Star'! Keep up the good work!"
Suddenly, two tasks were completed.
Gu Heng was so shocked that he sat up abruptly from his deathbed!
