Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 792: 436: I Am the Heavenly Mandate_2

Chapter 792: Chapter 436: I Am the Heavenly Mandate_2

Chen Mu was also clearly aware of this point; once he attempted to break into the Blood Exchange Realm, he would undoubtedly seek the safest place. However, finding him in the vast Outer Sea was no easy task, but one could not simply sit by and wait for death.

Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, having caused such trouble, should also be the one to resolve it.

Besides.

He was not the only one who was anxious. It was likely that King Liang’s situation was not much better than his, and some of the other among The Eight Princes might be growing equally desperate. This final obstacle for Chen Mu was not going to be an easy one to overcome!

…

Just as King Han had anticipated.

Upon learning the news from the Outer Sea, the other princes indeed showed varied emotions. Among them, not only King Liang Ji Xuanzhen was frowning and agitated. Previously, some had adopted a wait-and-see attitude since Chen Mu, who was still in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, was far from invincible, but now they were becoming restless.

And it was around the time when all The Eight Princes were showing signs of movement, deep within the Imperial Court, in a forbidden area of the palace.

“Your Majesty.”

Wei He, the Grand Manager of the Internal Affairs Mansion and holder of the Palm Imprint of the Ceremony Supervision, quietly appeared in the Silent Chamber, speaking softly to the figure in dragon robes sitting cross-legged.

All was silent.

The figure continued to sit in the middle of the chamber, showing barely any signs of life, almost like a living corpse.

As Wei He frowned deeply, worry apparent in his eyes, and when he was about to quietly withdraw after waiting a while without receiving any response, the figure, who seemed to have been sitting motionless for as long as ten years, suddenly stirred slightly.

Even though the movement was extremely subtle, just a slight quiver of the dragon robes, it was still distinctly noticed by Wei He, causing him to pause and a look of surprise to appear on his deeply wrinkled cheeks.

“Your Majesty?”

“…What has happened?”

The figure in dragon robes remained sitting cross-legged, without any additional movement, yet a voice filled with the weight of years and authority slowly spread throughout the chamber.

Wei He took a deep breath but did not respond immediately. Instead, he tensed his body, respectfully saying:

“Your Majesty, the flowers in the back garden have bloomed.”

“Then pluck them all.”

The figure in the dragon robes spoke in an indifferent tone.

Hearing this response from Emperor Xuan, Wei He finally released a sigh of relief, his tense body slightly relaxing.

It was then.

The figure in dragon robes slowly stood up and began to turn around, moving from sitting with his back to Wei He to facing him directly. The face of the young man was completely unrecognizable as the ‘dying’ Emperor Xuan.

Even as he stood up, his Qi-Blood surged powerfully and vigorously, unlikely for someone of declining years. The richness and vigor of his Inner Breath seemed more suited to a man in his forties or fifties, who had just entered the peak of the Blood Exchange Realm!

“There’s no need for testing anymore. I am still myself, integrated well. You have labored hard over the external court’s affairs these years,” said Emperor Xuan, his voice light.

Wei He, his body stooped more profoundly, bowed and said, “To share Your Majesty’s worries, I dare not speak of hardship. Your Majesty’s wellbeing and the achievement of the Divine Power are indeed fortunate for the Da Xuan Dynasty.”

Emperor Xuan looked at Wei He and nodded slightly, feeling the vigorous Qi-Blood flowing within his body. He clenched his fist and said, “This technique of Soul Fusion and Aperture Seizing is indeed extremely dangerous, especially the first step which is full of risks. Had I been timid initially, by the time my oil was exhausted and the lamp burned out, perhaps I would not have awakened today. But now that I have awakened and the method is complete, there will be no hurdles going forward. The Art of Longevity, once unattained by my ancestors, is now achieved by me.”

Wei He respectfully stood to one side, not interrupting.

After speaking, Emperor Xuan finally turned his gaze to Wei He, calmly inquiring, “There must have been quite a few incidents inside and outside the court these years, how is the overall situation?”

Wei He bowed respectfully and said, “Following Your Majesty’s instructions, secretly guiding, the eight princes fight incessantly, as incompatible as water and fire, and the forces in the Imperial Court and even in the Da Xuan Dynasty are fragmented.”

If there had been some people from the Imperial Court present to hear Wei He and Emperor Xuan’s conversation, they would have been utterly shocked.

The turmoil caused by The Eight Princes had almost overturned the entire Da Xuan Dynasty, causing chaos across the Ninety-Nine States, with Sects becoming independent and conflicts incessant; all of this was being manipulated by Emperor Xuan himself!

Emperor Xuan had appointed the Eight Princes, setting a main path, and after he had secluded himself to cultivate the “Secret Technique”, Wei He held great power in the Imperial Court, acting against the norms and causing continuous confusion within the Imperial Court, all according to Emperor Xuan’s directives!

Yet, both Emperor Xuan and Wei He appeared indifferent at this time.

Emperor Xuan was practicing a special Life Extension Secret Method that would put him into a prolonged state of confusion and sleep. Under such circumstances, if the Da Xuan Dynasty Court had been behaving normally, and the Eight Princes were united instead of chaotic, Wei He would not have been able to manipulate the situation, and in the worst case, a united court could have forced the emperor to abdicate!

Once relinquishing that position, having one of the Eight Princes ascend to the throne could lead to unforeseeable events. Emperor Xuan, lost in confusion and sleep, would not be able to regain power, and he might just “die of old age” someday.

Only chaos would suffice!

With chaos prevailing in the Imperial Court, and further guided by Wei He, could he maintain his posture and remain in power.

As for everything else, it was unimportant as long as he could master the Secret Technique upon awakening. He would easily regain control and suppress the chaos of the entire Da Xuan Dynasty… because he was not only Emperor Xuan but also a Celestial Human!

Holding all the foundation and the mansion treasury of the Da Xuan Dynasty, he himself was also a master of the Celestial Human level, standing at the pinnacle of Martial Arts. Once awake, he could regain his youth, his Qi-Blood no longer waning, with hundreds of years more to live, and he might even reach the higher realms above Celestial Human, the mythological God Realm.

Allowing one of the Eight Princes to inherit the throne?

He had never considered this point.

If his cultivation of the Secret Technique failed, ultimately unable to awaken, or if upon awakening he was no longer himself, then Wei He would no longer mediate. He would ensure that the Eight Princes quickly decided on a victor, and the winner would inherit the throne.

Soon.

Wei He had briefly recapitulated the current situation in the Da Xuan Dynasty, and all of this was wholly within the expectations of Emperor Xuan, Ji Yongzhao. Only upon hearing about some presumptuous acts of the eight princes, a trace of profundity flickered in his eyes.

But speaking, Ji Yongzhao said indifferently, “I haven’t dealt with the state affairs these days, yet they have indeed done quite a lot.”

“Just waiting for Your Majesty to re-handle the government affairs and stabilize the people’s hearts,” Wei He said respectfully.

At this point, he paused slightly and added, “By the way, Your Majesty, there’s another matter that needs reporting…”

“Hmm.”

Ji Yongzhao paced forward, walking out of the Silent Chamber, arriving in the expansive palace outside. He casually summoned a tea cup from the table, and Wei He, following at his side, took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ji Yongzhao, quickly sharing more information.

As Ji Yongzhao was about to lift the tea cup he was holding, his movement slightly froze mid-air, then turned to look at Wei He, a glint flashing in his eyes, and said, “In just a few years, such characters have emerged in the world? Is this matter true or false? Is the intelligence confirmed?”

“All true,” Wei He spoke somberly.

“Your Majesty, this person is still in the Marrow Cleansing Realm yet has developed such Martial Arts. If he steps into the Blood Exchange Realm in the future, the threat is hard to estimate…”

Ji Yongzhao observed the clear teacup in his hand, watching his own reflection in the tea, then gently swirled the teacup, causing ripples to form, and said:

“Quite interesting.”

“To enter the path with Qiankun, cultivating the Martial Body to such a degree, it’s feared that his Five Viscera and Six Viscera have been trained to an unprecedented peak. I thought that within tens of thousands of years, no one could reach that level in this mountain and river, and yet there is such a person who has achieved it, and has not even stepped into the Blood Exchange Realm. It seems I woke up just in time.”

Ji Yongzhao cast his gaze towards the azure sky outside the palace, his eyes as deep as dark pools, somewhat mockingly said:

“Heavenly Mandate?”

“I, am the Heavenly Mandate!”
