Chapter 1067: Chapter 1063: Searching Once More

”I’ve always had a question, seems you know the answer.”

”What is it?”

”The Emperor’s Sword Ascension, has it always ascended to Biyuan Heaven and never changed?”

”... Good question.” Li Hongzhao chuckled softly, ”Seems you know quite a bit.”

Chu Zhiyuan sipped his tea and asked leisurely, ”Has there really been a change?”

He slowly deduced this from some fragments he obtained earlier; there was once an Emperor’s Sword ascending to Outer Heaven, but it hasn’t appeared since.

There must be changes; it could be a change caused by the world, or other factors.

The disciples of the Four Great Sects, such as those from Profound Yin Palace, relied on sect power to ascend directly to Outer Heaven.

But the Emperor’s Sword, it seems, no longer reaches Outer Heaven and hasn’t appeared for a long time.

This indicates that there once was an Emperor’s Sword ascending.

After Li Hongzhao explained the matter of the Emperor’s Sword assisting in ascension, he could confirm it wasn’t ascending to Outer Heaven.

The Emperor’s Sword, being such a spiritual object, couldn’t possibly be insignificant.

The two clones of his in Outer Heaven have never heard of it, meaning it isn’t there.

”According to my knowledge, there has been a change.” Li Hongzhao shook his head, ”But this information is sporadically conveyed to me by the Emperor’s Sword, a bit scattered.”

”I see, ... So when will you ascend?” Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Li Hongzhao’s bright eyes flickered, and she said softly, ”The sooner the better.”

”Tomorrow?”

Li Hongzhao glared at him, ”How could it be tomorrow! The earliest would be ten days later.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Have you decided who to pass the imperial throne to?”

Li Hongzhao sighed, ”What do you think? Who is better suited to be Emperor?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”None are quite suitable, hard to hold it together.”

”Li Biyang isn’t suitable?” Li Hongzhao asked, ”You know him well, truly think he’s not suitable?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”He’s quite a good person, but still a bit naive, not hard-hearted enough, not a match for the old foxes in the Court.”

Li Hongzhao snorted, ”I’m preparing to clear out these old fellows.”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her in surprise.

Li Hongzhao smiled proudly.

”You really have the heart to do it?” Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”This is no small matter.”

In the Da Meng Court, there are three major forces: civil officials, military generals, and nobles.

The nobles always follow the actions of the Imperial Family.

The military generals and civil officials are not so obedient.

The Da Meng military is strong, the generals speak confidently and loudly.

The civil officials are familiar with court power rules, using softness to overpower hardness.

As Emperor, one must suppress the arrogant soldiers and generals as well as the cunning old foxes.

Li Hongzhao’s skills were impressive, and in a short time, she suppressed the civil and military officials of Da Meng.

Li Biyang neither has this skill nor the character; once he sits on the imperial throne, he can easily be sidelined.

If Li Hongzhao truly clears out the old ministers in the Court, it would give Li Biyang enough time to grow.

But thinking about it, the resistance is evident.

Li Hongzhao snorted, ”I’m going to ascend anyway, let them be.”

”Just afraid you’ll demote them, and they’ll be restored later.”

”Then it’s out of my hands,” Li Hongzhao said, ”Let Li Biyang handle it.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, ”Rare you have such an open mind.”

”In ten days, I’ll be leaving, never returning, why care about so much,” Li Hongzhao said, ”We only have ten days.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Imperial Grandfather promised back then, after ten years I could use the Emperor’s Sword to ascend, now it seems, it doesn’t need ten years.”

”When will you ascend then?”

”Can you bring things when you ascend?”

”No.” Li Hongzhao shook her head, ”Only the Imperial Robe, nothing else.”

Chu Zhiyuan showed a look of regret.

Li Hongzhao was curious.

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t want to say more, changing the subject, ”Will you close the gate?”

”First clean out these old fellows, then pass the throne to Li Biyang, and the time will be just right; you come over and help me protect.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”You have the Emperor’s Sword, what do you fear?”

Li Hongzhao shook her head, ”Father left too abruptly, my time as Emperor too short, haven’t mastered some secret powers.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly, ”Leave it to me.”

Li Hongzhao’s actions would certainly attract gossip.

People throughout the Court and even Da Meng would criticize her for trusting an outsider, especially a princely heir from another dynasty.

But Li Hongzhao was about to ascend soon and didn’t care about these anymore.

He naturally cared even less.

...

Leng Tieya pushed the door open and left his courtyard, coming to the stone table beneath the pine tree, starting to brew on the Red Clay Small Stove.

Opposite, Star-picking Cliff was shrouded in haze, myriad colors illuminated by the Golden Light.

The morning breeze brushed his face, bringing the freshness and lushness of the forest.

Mental clarity, leisurely spirit.

He lazily surveyed the opposite Star-picking Cliff, towering high into the clouds, not visible in its entirety.

The loss of remains might be insignificant to Star-picking Cliff.

The crucial matter remains the resurrection of the Supreme Heavenly Demon, which isn’t a small issue for Star-picking Cliff.

He was curious about how Star-picking Cliff would respond.

Sheltered under the big tree, wishing to go higher, relying on Star-picking Cliff was easier.

A white shadow broke through the haze of Star-picking Cliff, drifting over.

Carrying the freshness and fragrance, it landed opposite him and revealed Hu Yuni’s figure.

She took out a Small Silver Box from her sleeve and placed it on the stone table, pushing it towards Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya curiously examined it, then glanced at Hu Yuni.

Hu Yuni was enveloped in a layer of golden haze, eyes sparkling, ”This is another set of remains.”

Leng Tieya was astonished, ”Still other remains? The remains of the Supreme Heavenly Demon?”

Hu Yuni slowly nodded.

Leng Tieya said, ”The Supreme Heavenly Demon isn’t that easily killed, is it?”

Hu Yuni said, ”Obtained from a Cave Mansion, it was found by Junior Master Zhu inside the cliff, left untouched for a long time, stored within the cliff as a secret.”

”How long ago?”

”Around two thousand years,” Hu Yuni said, ”Brother Zhu is already missing.”

”Missing?”

”Seeking a breakthrough for the Supreme Heavenly Demon, possibly entered some Secret Land, or perhaps explored a Cave Mansion, even entered a Grotto Heaven.”

”Has it been long?”

”A thousand years is common, even tens of thousands of years.”

”Can’t summon him back?”

”Unless it’s a matter of life and death for Star-picking Cliff, they’ll never disturb them lightly.”

”Seems you have quite a few treasures in Star-picking Cliff.”

Hu Yuni proudly said, ”Naturally.”

Leng Tieya placed a hand on the silver box, sensing the situation inside.

The silver box blocked the probing, as his Demon Yuan was injected, it flickered, blocking the intrusion of the Demon Yuan.

Super Sense slipped in, seeing a segment of white bone joint inside.

He could discern it was the little finger, as translucent as jade, just like the Supreme Heavenly Demon’s hand.

Hu Yuni pressed her palm on the silver box, her hand quickly became bright, light burst forth.

”Pop.” The silver box opened.

Leng Tieya saw the little finger bone inside, picked it up, and closed his eyes.

Hu Yuni watched him intently.

A moment later, Leng Tieya opened his eyes, slowly nodded, ”There’s a discovery.”

Hu Yuni’s bright eyes immediately lit up, ”You truly found other remains?”

Leng Tieya smiled, ”Compared to sensing that broken sword fragment, this one is clearer, should be in that direction.”

He turned and pointed to the northeast.

”Let’s go,” Hu Yuni said.

Leng Tieya pointed at the Red Clay Small Stove, ”Let’s have some tea first.”

Hu Yuni laughed, ”Alright.”

White steam gushed out, Leng Tieya lifted it, beginning to brew tea.

Once they finished the cup of tea, they set the cup down and headed northeast.

An hour later, they appeared in a bustling and noisy city.

Hu Yuni didn’t ask much, just followed Leng Tieya forward.

Leng Tieya finally stopped in front of a tavern, looking up at the wine banner flying high in the sky, then at the tall building with three stories, nearly twenty meters high.

”It’s in this tavern,” Leng Tieya said slowly, ”It’s moving.”

Hu Yuni said, ”Has it already been found?”

”Or has it been seized?” Leng Tieya said.

Hu Yuni furrowed her eyebrows, ”Let’s go inside and take a look.”

They ascended to the second floor, stopping outside a private room.

Laughter echoed from within the room.
