Eternal Life as False Emperor

Chapter 416: Chapter 348: Hehuan Sect Secret Technique_2

If not for her vow since childhood to advance to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, with a resolute heart, she would have long succumbed.

Zheng Yi smiled and gestured for Tuoba Qingying to come over.

Tuoba Qingying struggled mentally for a moment, ultimately sighing and coming beside Zheng Yi, sitting down.

Zheng Yi took Tuoba Qingying’s small hand, playing with it as he asked, "When you advanced to Foundation Establishment, apart from those of us in the Imperial Palace, who else is aware?"

Tuoba Qingying tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Just a few in my Tuoba family, that’s all."

"Didn’t tell other families?"

"My great uncle is severely injured and has been recuperating until now, how could he have the time?"

"That’s good, from today onwards, you will stay in Linxiao Hall as my Protector."

"Protector?"

Tuoba Qingying’s eyes widened: "Are you going to break through?"

"Indeed."

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "I obtained a dual cultivation secret technique from the Hehuan Sect. According to the sect’s canon, dual cultivation with this technique can increase the breakthrough probability by ten percent."

"If dual cultivation with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the breakthrough probability can increase by thirty percent."

"You... shameless!!!"

Tuoba Qingying suddenly stood up, glaring angrily at Zheng Yi: "You’re keeping me here just for this?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Of course not."

Zheng Yi blinked and said, "It’s because I can’t let go of you, I want to see you every day."

"Sadly, you’re off training in order to break through your cultivation."

"Whereas I, owing to my status, cannot stray far from the Capital City, and thus can only use this excuse to keep you by my side for a few more days."

"You..."

Tuoba Qingying’s cheeks turned red; she had never heard such blatant affection before, and immediately became flustered.

"Qingying~!"

Zheng Yi stood up, taking her small hand: "When I first saw you, I fell for you, otherwise, why would I go to such great lengths to marry you, and why would I care so much about the Tuoba family..."

"Only you are my confidant and my most cherished woman~"

"Re-Really?"

"Truer than pearls!"

"Then, I will help you with cultivation... but I have one condition!"

"What condition?"

"Not to do those embarrassing poses anymore, es-especially behind my back..."

"Alright alright~ I promise you..."

Zheng Yi laughed as he embraced Tuoba Qingying, heading toward the secret room.

When dual cultivation begins, won’t the poses be up to him to decide?

How could young Qingying, who hasn’t yet matured, escape his grasp?

[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Magical Power +20.]

[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Water Attribute Spirit Root +20;]

[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Magical Power +20...]

On the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, characters appeared one after another.

And Zheng Yi’s Spirit Root aptitude was also rapidly increasing.

The Magical Power fluctuations within him were becoming clearer from obscurity.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Tuoba Qingying also immediately perceived something.

"Your realm..."

"Shhh... don’t speak, open your eyes."

"Mm~"

[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Water Attribute Spirit Root +20;]

[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Magical Power +20.]

[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Water Attribute Spirit Root +20;]

[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Magical Power +20...]

Zheng Yi was quietly cultivating on Celestial Longevity Mountain, and his cultivation level was rapidly increasing.

The bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment stage was becoming weaker and was about to break through.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, several mysterious figures appeared outside the Capital City.

They utilized the cover of night to swiftly head toward Celestial Longevity Mountain.

The leader, wearing a high crown, was Tieguan Daoist from Tieguan Island, and Nanfeng Zhenren clad in a yellow robe.

The others were disciples and friends of the two.

Nanfeng Zhenren asked, "Brother Tieguan, why go through so much trouble, couldn’t we just fly there directly?"

Tieguan Daoist shook his head: "No, according to the information from fellow Youlinzi, besides arrays guarding Celestial Longevity Mountain, there are also ten thousand elite soldiers protecting it."

"They have established camps at every mountain road entrance, checking anyone ascending the mountain. Without an order from Emperor Zhengyong, no enemy is allowed to climb the mountain."

"Besides this, they’ve established watchtowers on various peaks of Celestial Longevity Mountain. To approach undetected, we must do so under the cover of night."

"I see... "

"According to the plan, we need to hide secretly beneath Celestial Longevity Mountain and wait for the Du Family and the second of the Four Ghosts of Shannan to break the Mountain Protection Array. Then we can charge into the mountain to fight and plunder."

"The main target is the Celestial Longevity Mountain Palace located on Celestial Longevity Mountain!"

Tieguan Daoist’s tone turned greedy: "I’ve heard that place holds all the collections of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty over the past three thousand years..."

"There’s even Foundation Establishment Pills!"

"Foundation Establishment Pills..."

Nanfeng Zhenren’s tone also turned somewhat greedy as the figures of a dozen or so people quickly sped up.

Soon, they arrived at a valley at the foot of a mountain and hid their presence.

Gazing towards the distant Celestial Longevity Mountain, Tieguan Daoist’s eyes were suddenly filled with longing.

"Brother Nanfeng, do you feel the spiritual energy here is very abundant, even more than that of the Capital City?"

"Indeed."

Nanfeng Zhenren, standing beside him, also spoke: "Compared to my Nanfeng Lake, it’s like a ditch!"

"Hehehe, my Tieguan Island isn’t much different in comparison, is it?"

Tieguan Daoist said, "But rest assured, Brother Nanfeng. I have already discussed this with the Du Family. After this matter, you and I may choose a Spirit Mountain as our Cave Mansion."

"With such abundant Spirit Mountain as a Cave Mansion, you and I might even attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Hahaha... Indeed! Brother Tieguan, your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten!"

"Brother Nanfeng, look at the sky. That layer of mist is the Mountain Protection Array of Celestial Longevity Mountain, the Tier Three Profound Origin Spirit Gathering Array!"

Tieguan Daoist continued: "As Matchmaker said, this Profound Origin Spirit Gathering Array covers the entire Celestial Longevity and can convert the Power of Earth Veins into spiritual energy, concentrating the Power of the Mountain Range to resist external threats."

"Its defense is strong enough to resist a Golden Core Stage Cultivator’s attack."

"A Golden Core Powerhouse?"

Nanfeng Zhenren marveled: "Our Great Yu doesn’t even have a single Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so how could there be a Golden Core Stage Cultivator?"

"This Emperor Zhengyong is really extravagant, using so many cultivation resources just to build a seemingly useless Tier Three Array. What a pity."

"Isn’t it? The Emperor of Great Yu is truly wealthy."

"Last time, he recognized that Hehuan Sect girl as his goddaughter and gifted her a thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones as a meeting gift!"

"What? A thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, hiss..."

"Hehehe, I suspect there’s a Spirit Stone Vein under Celestial Longevity Mountain, otherwise, where did he get so many Spirit Stones?"

"This Emperor Zhengyong, being accustomed to ruling the Mortal Realm, actually thinks the Cultivation Realm is the same as the Mortal Realm?"

"His possession of Celestial Longevity Mountain is truly a waste of nature’s gifts!"

The two whispered as they continuously watched the sky.

As the time neared 1:00 AM, they became increasingly excited.

For according to the plan, the appointed time was near.

The moon was bright, the stars sparse, and a gentle breeze came.

At this moment, the clouds that had been floating above Celestial Longevity Mountain moved!

As if controlled by invisible hands, the clouds dispersed rapidly.

Simultaneously, a spark suddenly appeared in a clearing at the foot of Celestial Longevity Mountain, standing out clearly in the night.

Accompanying this glow, a web-like pattern of cracks swiftly spread across Celestial Longevity Mountain, racing towards the mountaintop.

Then, with the gusting wind, it exploded with a loud bang.

"Boom!"

In an instant, at least dozens of figures emerged from different directions of Celestial Longevity Mountain and charged up!

"Hahaha... Kill!"

"Brothers, charge!"

"The Spirit Stones are mine!"

A cacophony of roars erupted from this group, while in the air, many flames, lightning, and gales appeared, attacking the ground.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Who dares to attack Celestial Longevity Mountain of Great Yu!"

From above Celestial Longevity Mountain, an angry shout echoed, coming from the Imperial Guard stationed below the mountain.

In the initial chaos, they quickly regained their composure.

Led by their respective captains, they resisted these cultivators.

These cultivators were also evidently organized; part of the group broke off to attack the Imperial Guard stationed below Celestial Longevity Mountain.

Most cultivators, however, continued to charge toward the mountaintop.

Nanfeng Zhenren was about to spring into action but was held back by Tieguan Daoist.

"Brother Tieguan?"

"Hold on a moment."

Tieguan Daoist gazed at the distant peaks and said, "No rush, let them weaken Celestial Longevity Mountain’s defensive forces first."

Nanfeng Zhenren’s eyes brightened slightly, and he said with a smile, "As expected of Brother Tieguan, let’s wait a little longer then!"
