All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

Page 668

"I only need to merge with the spirit of the dragon vein, and Li Chang'an and the others will have to be hesitant to act. They can't kill me, because killing me would dissipate the Great Feng Dragon Qi."

"The nation's destiny is already half gone. They see clearly what the Great Feng has become. If the dragon's energy dissipates further, the Great Feng will perish, it will perish..."

"If the dragon's energy dissipates, those who capture it will gradually rise to power by taking advantage of its fortune, thus taking away the fate of the Great Feng Kingdom. The dragon's energy is my life-saving charm."

Thinking of this, the panicked Yuan Jing clone seemed to have grasped a lifeline and seen a chance to survive.

When Li Chang'an and other extraordinary beings forced him to abdicate, Emperor Zhende had prepared this contingency plan. He had already done so much in pursuit of immortality, and he had to consider the worst possible outcome in everything he did.

“I can abdicate… I have the cultivation experience of Joan of Arc's original form… I may be able to enter the transcendent realm again before my lifespan ends.”

"Once you step into the extraordinary realm, your lifespan will be hundreds of years..."

"There is still hope... there is hope..."

Thinking of this, Yuan Jing's clone suddenly trembled with excitement and hurriedly set up an array in the palace.

Above the intricate array, a bead floated, slowly beginning to rotate, pulling out a golden, illusory dragon from the ground.

"The spirit of the Great Feng Dragon Vein!"

Emperor Yuanjing's clone stared intently at the dragon spirit, then sat cross-legged and began to absorb the dragon spirit into his body little by little, following the secret method left behind by his main body.

The golden dragon seemed to be struggling, but it had long been tamed by Joan of Arc's true form, and the core of that taming was the bead.

The spirit of the dragon vein gradually flowed into Yuan Jing's clone's body, and joy slowly appeared on Yuan Jing's clone's face, as if life had regained its purpose and meaning.

Dragon veins are a type of fortune, and even top-tier magic weapons like the carving knife and the national sword cannot destroy them. While spirit dragons can devour fortune, the spirit of a dragon vein is not pure purple qi, so spirit dragons cannot devour it either.

The Dragon Vein Spirit, like the Emperor's Brush that Li Chang'an exchanged, is a level above ordinary magic treasures.

Because of the special nature of the dragon vein, it eventually became a protective umbrella for Emperor Yuanjing's clone.

"Who told me about the dragon veins?"

"When a dynasty rules the Central Plains, it rules not only the people but also the territory. The people's hearts gather the fortune, and the dragon vein is the essence of the condensation of fortune and territory."

As long as the spirit of the dragon vein is extracted and offered to the sorcerer god, the Central Plains will suffer from constant natural and man-made disasters, but because the dragon vein is not destroyed, uprisings often fail.

The Witch God Cult controls the dragon veins of the Central Plains, destined by heaven, making its conquest of the Central Plains effortless. Thus, I became the second Salun Agu, effectively controlling the thirteen continents of the Great Feng Dynasty, yet unburdened by its destiny.

"How did I know about this brilliant idea?"

"It's Xu Pingfeng, the third-ranked scholar! That traitorous villain, I wonder what he's plotting now..."

Xu Pingfeng recently appeared in Jianzhou, and people involved have begun to recall his story, including Emperor Yuanjing.

Just then, the space suddenly lost its color, and all the vibrant colors turned gray and white.

Only the figure of a white-robed sorcerer appeared before Yuan Jing's clone and slowly walked towards him.

"My lord, have you forgotten? It was I who told you about the spirit of the dragon vein..."

"Xu Tanhua, what are you doing here! Xu Pingfeng, what do you want to do!" Emperor Yuanjing suddenly panicked.

The white figure seemed to move through the space without any hindrance, arriving in front of Emperor Yuanjing in an instant, the two almost face to face.

A golden magic weapon suddenly emerged from Xu Pingfeng's hand and unexpectedly pierced into Emperor Yuanjing's dantian.

The powerful destructive force of the magic weapon instantly shattered the dantian of Yuan Jing's clone, and even the powerful dragon vein spirit was shattered!

The golden dragon instantly shattered, then transformed into countless starlight, scattering towards the thirteen continents of the Great Feng Dynasty!

Emperor Yuanjing stared at Xu Pingfeng in shock, "You, you can actually shatter the dragon's aura!"

"If I cannot destroy it, why would I reveal this matter?" Xu Pingfeng's voice was cold and ethereal.

"I originally planned to have Li Chang'an kill the emperor and shatter the dragon's aura, but now I'm afraid he won't be decisive enough and might want to spare your life. What if that happens?"

"The dragon's aura of the Great Feng Dynasty has not dissipated. How can this humble subject accomplish anything? How can I emulate my teacher and ascend to the Mandate of Heaven in one step?"

"Why, why..." Yuan Jing's clone's life force was fading away, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Because Your Majesty wishes to become a terrestrial immortal, and I also wish to become a master of destiny."

"Your Majesty has failed, but I still have a chance."

Xu Pingfeng's voice seemed to fade into the distance. Before losing consciousness, Emperor Yuanjing saw this traitor and kindly closed his eyes.

"Rest in peace, my Your Majesty."

Chapter 389 Taking a day off

The rhythm was a bit off; the enemies were almost done, but the girls weren't all taken down.

Let me take another look.

This book is, after all, a lighthearted, enjoyable read. So, should we also discuss the saintess's master and the free-loading sister?

Chapter 393 The Great Wizard Flees, and the Heartbroken Biao Biao

Xu Qi'an and the others were completely unaware of what was happening inside the palace.

When they routinely let people in to deliver food, they discovered that Emperor Yuanjing had been assassinated.

The night watchman immediately reported the news to the Heavenly Empress.

Huaiqing stood atop the city wall, facing the wind, gazing northwards, her plain dress fluttering in the breeze.

She already knew about the great victory in the Northeast, where the Heavenly King and Wei Yuan won the final battle against the Witch God Cult.

She immediately relayed the news of Yuan Jing's clone being assassinated to Li Chang'an via the fragments of the Earth Book.

The complete demise of Empress Joan of Arc, ostensibly due to the assassination of Emperor Yuanjing, was merely the beginning. The subsequent aftermath was the most pressing issue.

The imperial court needs to give an account to the entire Central Plains.

This included people from various states, local governments, local armies, and江湖人士 (jianghu figures).

From the perspective of the common people, the core issue to consider is the "popular support" of the people. Frankly admitting that the royal family would lose the support of the people would lead to a situation where the royal family loses all support.

The same principle applies to the military; in some ways, maintaining morale within the military is more important than maintaining public morale.

Fortunately, the elite troops of the Great Feng Dynasty are now in the hands of Li Chang'an and Wei Yuan, and with the momentum of their great victory, there is little chance of unrest among the troops.

Local governments need to appease the people and prevent them from becoming fearful or uneasy about this matter. Only in this way can they help stabilize the people's hearts and prevent the underworld organizations from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble.

Star Observation Tower.

Salun Agu stood at the edge of the Bagua platform, squinting.

"I've made my move."

The supervisor stood with his hands behind his back, side by side with him, and said calmly:

"Go back and wait to die."

Salen Agu said slowly, "You seem to have a lot of confidence in Li Chang'an."

The supervisor said in a nonchalant tone, "The dragon's energy has only dissipated temporarily; he can recover it quickly."

"Joan of Arc thought she was blessed with good fortune, and I would not touch her, nor could I touch her."

Indeed, for a warlock, regicide is self-destruction, and the higher the rank, the greater the backlash.

However, Xu Pingfeng had already become dependent on the fortune of Qianlong City, so killing the Emperor of Dafeng was actually beneficial to him.

With the fall of Empress Joan of Arc, the contest between the two top-ranking masters slowed down.

The supervisor did not take the opportunity to strike while the dog was down. Although this was his home turf, he was going to kill a great wizard who had lived for thousands of years.

The price will be the capital city being reduced to wasteland.

That's not necessary.

Just then, Salun Agu suddenly raised an eyebrow, then transformed into a streak of black light and fled westward.

Then, two golden lights landed, and a man and a woman emerged from the void.

Luo Yuheng gazed into the distance and said, "Why is Salun Agu running away? We can't kill him now."

Li Chang'an guessed, "Although we can reunite at any time after he dies, it must be very painful."

Li Chang'an can only temporarily reach the first-grade combat power with external help. He cannot completely kill a fossil-like first-grade peak like Salun Agu at present.

"What do you plan to do with Joan of Arc's affairs after her death?" the supervisor asked.

Li Chang'an gazed towards the direction of the palace, "I will be the emperor myself..."

The supervisor's lips twitched suddenly; he couldn't afford the price of a dynastic change.

“I find it annoying.” Li Chang’an’s words relieved the supervisor.

The Great Feng World differs from the Great Qing and Snow World in that it contains extraordinary beings, the super-grade being gods.

Taoist masters, Buddhas, and sorcerers are all immortal beings, so there is little meaning in them becoming worldly rulers.

After destroying the Witch God Cult, Li Chang'an's power ranking had risen to second place.

Currently, it seems that only the ruler of the Western Buddhist Kingdom has a larger population and military force than him.

To gain power and ascend to the top, one should not become a secular emperor, but rather the supreme ruler of all humanity in this world.

In other words, as long as the extraordinary experts in the West sincerely submit to Li Chang'an, he can reach the pinnacle of power.
