Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Dragon-Shaped Jade Seal! The Late Emperor Who Cultivated by Borrowing the Dynasty’s Fortune

"It’s you!"

Seeing that it was Lv Lan, Ye Liuyun didn’t pay much attention.

He simply put the sword back where it was.

"Is there something you need?"

"..."

Did he really think that I had to have a reason to come? Seeing Ye Liuyun ask directly like this, Lv Lan subconsciously frowned, feeling that Ye Liuyun’s attitude toward him was somewhat too distant.

Does Ye Liuyun not know that the Extreme Yang Body and the Extreme Yin Body are the most compatible pair?

Wait, perhaps Ye Liuyun doesn’t even know he has the Extreme Yang Body, nor does he know about this compatibility. Lv Lan just subconsciously assumed that what he knew, Ye Liuyun should know as well.

But I have a master to teach me, while Ye Liuyun does not.

Seeing Lv Lan suddenly fall into silence, with eyes shifting back and forth, Ye Liuyun looked over with curiosity.

"Ahem!"

Noticing Ye Liuyun’s gaze,

Lv Lan cleared his throat and immediately said.

"Didn’t you just come back? I just wanted to ask you about the Spiritual Artifact."

"If I said I didn’t get it, you probably wouldn’t believe me, right?"

This Lv Lan isn’t some fool, if I really didn’t get the Spiritual Artifact, would I be so relaxed right now?

Seeing Ye Liuyun say this, Lv Lan actually relaxed and laughed.

He thought the other would be curious about the Spiritual Artifact, but Lv Lan directly skipped over the topic.

"With your talent and cultivation, combined with the help of the Spiritual Artifact, within the Innate stage, you likely won’t find a match."

Sometimes, Spiritual Artifacts can greatly amplify a Martial Artist’s power.

Just like Lv Lan himself.

While wielding the Cold Jade Sword, Lv Lan is confident he can defeat ordinary Late-stage Innate Martial Artists, and even challenge those with Innate Perfection.

Ye Liuyun did not respond. The relationship between him and Lv Lan wasn’t close enough to speak of everything openly, so the matter of Blood Blade, naturally, the fewer who knew, the better.

"Speaking of which, why have you been the one coming these days, where is His Majesty?"

In previous instances, Yan Shuzhu always came personally; why is Lv Lan now relaying messages?

Hearing this,

Lv Lan helplessly shook his head.

"Previously, His Majesty left the palace quietly, but after that incident, the eunuch in charge has tightened surveillance of the palace, leaving His Majesty with no way to leave."

"Tsk, it almost feels like that eunuch is the master of the palace now."

He almost seems to be ruling over Yan Shuzhu who is the emperor-upside down.

Lv Lan also showed some timely anger but followed it with helplessness and still spoke seriously.

"Sooner or later, His Majesty will restore order and regain imperial power."

"..."

It’s fine to deceive others with these words, but don’t deceive yourself.

By comparison, Ye Liuyun was more curious about the strength of this eunuch in charge.

"Is this eunuch also a Grandmaster?"

"No, a crippled body cannot break through to Grandmaster; he is merely in the Grandmaster Realm."

Lv Lan shook his head.

Without a Land Immortal appearing, a Grandmaster is the pinnacle of the world and not so easily surpassed. Favorable timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony are all essential.

Many people spend their whole lives seemingly just a hair’s breadth away from Grandmaster, yet this hair’s breadth is an insurmountable distance akin to the separation of heaven and earth.

A Grandmaster Realm being this arrogant?

Though Ye Liuyun was not yet a Grandmaster, he understood that while Grandmasters are rare, there were still some in the Great Qian Dynasty—not to the extent of fearing this eunuch.

Seemingly seeing Ye Liuyun’s confusion, Lv Lan shook his head and said.

"The eunuch was favored by the former emperor; they do not fear the eunuch but dread the former emperor."

Likewise, the eunuch is very loyal, but this loyalty is only for the former emperor. Everyone in court knows that the eunuch was the most loyal dog beside the former emperor.

The eunuch is a Grandmaster,

But the former emperor is a Grandmaster as well, and also one currently in seclusion attempting to break through to the Land Immortal realm.

Thinking of this,

Ye Liuyun instead felt curious.

"Is the former emperor really in seclusion trying to break through to the Land Immortal realm? It’s said that for nearly a hundred years, no one has stepped into this realm. Can it be that easily achieved?"

A Grandmaster has a life span of two hundred years.

Once breaking through to the Land Immortal realm, longevity extends to five hundred years.

Though not an immortal, it is said that the capabilities are akin to celestial beings, and it doesn’t seem so easy to break through.

These words made Lv Lan’s expression become much more serious.

"I don’t know the exact details, but as far as I know, whether it’s the eunuch, the current Prime Minister, or the General of Border Defense, they all seem pretty confident in the former emperor’s seclusion to break through to the Land Immortal realm."

Such confidence that the former emperor will definitely succeed in breaking through?

There are likely unknown matters hidden within all of this.

"Forget it, soldiers will come to block, water will come to cover, worrying and tangling further is meaningless."

"You’re right."

The breakthrough must continue.

One can’t just go interfere with the former emperor’s seclusion.

But even if that was the thought, the loyal dog eunuch guarded the former emperor’s seclusion place tightly, making it impossible for outsiders to enter freely, let alone interfere.

After a bit more idle talk.

Lv Lan left.

"By the way!"

Ye Liuyun was about to return to his room to rest, but suddenly remembered he forgot to ask about Qi Yuanliang from the Southern Garrison Commander’s Office.

Others might not know, but as a guard beside Yan Shuzhu, Lv Lan should know something about this Southern Garrison Commander, right?

Forget it, asking next time would be the same.

Thinking so, after stretching a bit, Ye Liuyun went straight back to his room.

...

Deep into the night!

In a secluded courtyard within the royal palace,

This time, the area was filled with subordinates arranged by the eunuch in charge, watching over it day and night in shifts.

Not even any eunuch or palace maid could enter here.

Even if it was the eunuch himself, he couldn’t enter the courtyard.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in golden dragon robes was seated cross-legged beneath an eave, surrounded by a golden inner strength that seemed conscious, shaping into a dragon form.

As the man breathed, the energy moved around constantly.

In front of the man, a dragon-shaped Jade Seal the size of a palm floated in mid-air.

The Jade Seal seemed to faintly emit golden light, ceaselessly absorbing some kind of power from the surroundings, which then, under guidance, entered the man’s body.

"Huff!"

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes, and the Jade Seal gently descended from the air.

Watching the dragon-shaped Jade Seal in front of him, the middle-aged man’s eyes shimmered with an endless imperial authority.

This man was Yan Shuzhu’s father, the true ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"It’s almost time!"

His own cultivation is already at Grandmaster Perfection.

Years of seclusion, utilizing the dragon-shaped Jade Seal, drawing upon the Dynasty’s fortune to cleanse the whole body, and the breakthrough to the legendary Land Immortal realm is not far away.

Initially, he thought his life would culminate at the Grandmaster realm, but unexpectedly obtained the supreme Spiritual Artifact, the dragon-shaped Jade Seal.

Although entering the Land Immortal realm by taking a shortcut will inevitably have limitations.

Yet, a Land Immortal is ultimately a Land Immortal.

"When I break through to Land Immortal, I shall ensure that the Great Qian Dynasty becomes the only Dynasty in the Fourteen States of the World."
