Capital City.
Outside the Imperial City.
Liang Sheng was carefully hiding in a corner, watching the direction of the Imperial Palace. At this moment, there was an enormously strong breath within the palace. However, there was a faint sense of decay at its peak, much like the last ray of light before the collapse of the Great Sun.
It seems that it was the resurgence of the Innate Eunuch Grandmaster that caused such a scene.
However, Liang Sheng did not act hastily; he simply watched quietly. Not far away, there was another person doing the same, quietly watching the Imperial Palace.
It was none other than the Master of the No-Life Sect.
Who could have imagined that of the four great masters of the Dayan known to the public, only the Master of the No-Life Sect and the Innate Eunuch Grandmaster in the palace remain. One wonders whether the Master of the No-Life Sect was there to pay his respects to the grandmaster of the Imperial Palace.
Within the palace, outside the Grand Temple, the Imperial Army was standing guard layer upon layer, strictly alert. Inside the temple, Emperor Kaiping was standing quietly, watching intently at the old man who had been by his father’s side since he could remember.
At this moment, the old man did not appear to have decayed; on the contrary, he seemed full of vitality, not at all like a decrepit old man.
“Father…”
At this moment, the Innate Eunuch Grandmaster chuckled, “Your Majesty, why be so formal? I should have passed on with the previous Emperor. Now 1 get to stay by his side, it is my fortune.”
Without waiting for Emperor Kaiping to say anything, he turned to the Eunuch Supervisor Qin Gang, who stood next to the Emperor, “Little Gang, don’t waste time, come here.”
Eunuch Supervisor Qin Gang quickly stepped forward. Who could have guessed that Qin Gang was actually a martial artist of the postnatal nine realms?
The Eunuch Master was palm-to-back with Qin Gang, transferring a pure inner strength into Qin Gang’s body. The two shared the same teaching of Techniques, and at this moment, Qin Gang’s body was circulating the Qi, quickly devouring this power.
At this moment, the Innate Eunuch Grandmaster released his hands. Qin Gang remained sitting with his eyes closed, circulating his Qi to digest the power in his body. The Innate Eunuch Grandmaster only had time to give Emperor Kaiping a smile, then fell silent.
The Innate Eunuch Grandmaster, fell today!
Emperor Kaiping bowed slightly, then focused his eyes on Qin Gang. At this moment, Qin Gang’s breath was rising steadily and then he suddenly opened his eyes, the light sparkled like substance. Seeing this, Emperor Kaiping couldn’t help but rejoice.
“Did it succeed?”
“Your humble servant did not fail.”
“Good, very good!”
Immediately after, Emperor Kaiping carefully took out a jade bottle from his sleeves and handed it to Qin Gang, “Take this pill, cultivate with peace of mind. From now on, you are my right-hand man, an Innate Nation Protector.” “Thank you for Your Majesty’s grace.”
Emperor Kaiping couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Qin Gang, hand-picked as a martial arts genius from a young age, had entered the palace to become a eunuch and grown up with Emperor Kaiping.
The Technique that Qin Gang and the Innate Eunuch Grandmaster practiced was called the Reincarnation Cycle Technique. It was the signature Technique of the Reincarnation Palace, one of the Seven Great Sects. The greatest advantage of this Technique was that it could be passed on to those who also practiced the same Technique.
After receiving the imparted energy from the Innate Eunuch Grandmaster, Qin Gang stepped into the half-step Innate stage, and the jade bottle held the Barrier Breaking Pill that all martial artists dreamt of.
In other words, within a few days, when Qin Gang emerges from his closed-door cultivation, he would be the new Innate Grandmaster of the Dayan Palace.
“Someone! Escort my father figure on his journey!”
Outside the Imperial Palace.
The aura of the Innate Eunuch Grandmaster was completely gone, but immediately after, the breakthrough of Qin Gang’s breath spread out, which made Liang Sheng momentarily stunned.
Half-step Innate!
He thought of the Barrier Breaking Pill that Emperor Yan Jing had given to the No-Life Sect Leader as a reward before and couldn’t help sighing. The Innate Grandmasters of the Dayan Royal Palace indeed had an unbroken lineage, no wonder the Great Dayan Nation had always lasted.
The No-Life Sect Leader clearly sensed this situation as well. He silently nodded but did not leave at this moment.
After some time, Emperor Kaiping appeared alone at the old place, unable to hide the smile on his face while meeting with the No-Life Sect Leader.
“Uncle Thirteen, thank you for guarding this place. 1 also owe your help for the recent matters at the frontier. Without your intervention, I wouldn’t have been able to deal with Li Hong’s rebellion so smoothly.”
The leader of the No-Life Sect showed no emotion upon hearing this. “You need not remind me indirectly, both of us know the true circumstances of the so-called rebellion.
I will stay in the capital for a few more days, my old friend will pass down the techniques to the person at your side who is on the half-step to the Innate realm. Once he consumes the Barrier Breaking Pill and successfully ascends to the Innate realm, I will leave the capital.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kaiping obviously breathed a sigh of relief. However, he wanted to explain that he didn’t mean that, but the leader of the No-Life Sect cut him off.
“I didn’t want to argue with you, but this year you have indulged too much in pleasures, people’s hearts are fluctuating within the territory of Dayan, you better not act like your late father, you don’t have his skills.
Besides, you better find some more people to practice the Reincarnation Cycle Technique so you won’t end up like your father. If he hadn’t been so suspicious that year, wouldn’t there be more than one Innate in the palace?
Also, consider that there are not many Barrier Breaking Pills left. What would you do if something happened?
You better prepare early, don’t put all your eggs in one basket, otherwise in case of any accident, you can’t find someone to pass on the techniques… ha!”
However, seeing the indifferent expression of Emperor Kaiping, he no longer advised but only reminded: “Your cousin has breached the Innate realm, my lifespan is nearly exhausted, he will probably be the one to meet you.”
“All?”
Emperor Kaiping looked at the leader of the No-Life Sect with glossy black hair, smooth skin, which made him overlook the age of the leader.
“I will consider it seriously, Uncle Thirteen.”
“Very well, you should go back. I will protect your cultivation here until that Innate at your side comes out.”
Emperor Kaiping bowed when he heard this and slowly entered the palace from the side door. The leader of the No-Life Sect then merged into the night, unnoticed by anyone.
At this moment, Liang Sheng’s heart was pounding. The palace actually possessed such a miraculous technique. No wonder the Innate in the palace never ceased to emerge.
To know, in the world of martial arts, there were countless postnatal Nine-layered martial artists crossing the river like crucian carp, but there were few who could achieve Innate, and the bottleneck virtually blocked all martial artists in the world.
At this moment, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but be more cautious, not because the leader of the No-Life Sect said there was no Innate Master in the palace at this time, and he became impulsive.
Since there such means within the palace to ensure that even Innate practitioners don’t die out, who can guarantee that there are no other means in the palace to deal with the onslaught of Innate?
Such as that mysterious small sword of that year.
Hearing the palace’s secret about the Innate today is a great harvest. He only needs to be patient, and he will get closer to the clues of cultivation to become an immortal.
In everything, haste makes waste, as the leader of the No-Life Sect said, they will grow old after all, and only 1 can afford to wait.
Everything is worth waiting for.
Time passed as Liang Sheng was waiting cautiously. After a month, the leader of the No-Life Sect left the capital because Qin Gang was successfully promoted to Innate.
The death of Li Hong seemed to make everything calm. In the beginning, Emperor Kaiping seemed to listen to the advice of the leader of the No-Life Sect and worked hard.
However, the nobles and powerful families in the court did not dare to resist Emperor Kaiping because of Li Hong’s incident. Emperor Kaiping gradually returned to his true self and became extravagant and unrestrained.
If you want to indulge in pleasure, you need a lot of money. As Emperor Kaiping’s heart becomes more and more inflated, government affairs are in chaos, and the lives of the people have become increasingly difficult.
Unconsciously, twenty years passed, the people of the Dayan Dynasty were so oppressed by multiple tax increases that they couldn’t make a living.
Under such circumstances, Liang Sheng’s cultivation method, which had been motionless for many years, finally made a breakthrough and advanced further.
Name: Liang Sheng
Age: 109
Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top-Grade)
Techniques: Golden Dragon Technique (nth level), Twenty Health-Cultivating Techniques, Unmoving Ming King Seal (5th Level)
Realm: Innate
Lifespan: 4329
The new Life-Nurturing Technique advances the cultivation based on a high realm, and in just a few years, it breaks through to the 14th level, thus increasing the lifespan by 2000 years.
Liang Sheng’s lifespan is skyrocketing, but how is his martial arts realm still in the Innate realm after breaking the limit and cultivating the Golden Dragon Technique to the 11th level!?
