Chapter 871
Su Yunjin is coming, she's really fierce!
No matter how much they cried out in the face of the spatial rift, it was useless. Chen Jie and his son Chen Li watched helplessly as Lan Xian led Su Yunjin through the spatial barrier and entered the Great Thousand World.
The effect of the Boundary-Breaking Hammer disappeared instantly upon entering the Great Thousand World, extinguishing any possibility of the two rushing into the Great Thousand World to rescue people.
At this moment, Chen Jie flew into a rage and unleashed the power of the rules as if it were free, pouring it into the air. However, the spatial barrier was not something he could break at the moment, and he did not have the Boundary-Breaking Hammer in his hand, so there was no possibility of pursuing him. For the first time, Chen Jiu Si felt powerless.
For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent. No one spoke; only Chen Jie's furious voice and Chen Li's roar could be heard.
This was an absolute tragedy. Everyone knew how deep the bond was between His Majesty and the Empress, yet such a tragedy had occurred. Moreover, Su Yunjin was usually very kind to the palace servants, and they were all weeping uncontrollably. For a moment, the entire palace was filled with sorrow.
At this moment, Chen Li rushed to Chen Jie's side, crying out, "Father, Mother, Mother..."
Chen Jie was still rational at this moment, and patted Chen Li on the shoulder, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, Father will save your mother, Father will save your mother."
Thinking this, Chen Jie's eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly looked at Xu Yuandao. Xu Yuandao was a person from the Great Thousand World, and at this moment, he might be the only one who could help him.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie reached out, and the power of the spatial laws instantly locked onto Xu Yuandao, pulling Xu Yuandao closer to him and lifting him into the air.
"Is there still a way to enter the Great Thousand World?"
His eye was completely bloodshot, making him look like he was about to devour someone; it was terrifying.
Staring at Chen Jie like that, Xu Yuandao felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by some terrifying beast. But he knew he couldn't panic, so he forced himself to stay alert and keep looking at Chen Jie.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Empress will be alright."
Xu Yuandao's voice slowly drifted out, calming Chen Jie's emotions little by little with a soothing effect.
Chen Jie looked at Xu Yuan with bloodshot eyes and said, "Yun Jin has been captured by her and taken to the Great Thousand World. Once there, Yun Jin will be useless, and she will spare Yun Jin's life."
"Your Majesty, you are probably mistaken."
Xu Yuandao said to Chen Jie, "Lan Xian's initial target might not have been you, but rather she wanted to take the Empress away."
"She wanted to take Su Yunjin away."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Yuan, saying, "Tell me your story."
Xu Yuan said, "It's hard for me to speak when you hold me up like this."
Chen Jie took a deep breath, calming himself down a bit. He then put Xu Yuandao down and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuandao looked at Chen Jie and said, "Haven't you ever noticed anything different about Her Majesty the Empress?"
Sister Chen was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. To Chen Jie, Su Yunjin had always been the Empress, or, if we go back any further, the wife. Sister Chen's first impression of Su Yunjin was that she was gentle, kind, a virtuous wife and loving mother, and the love of her life.
But if you're looking for something different, there really is something different, especially in recent years. He's always been able to sense a strange power emanating from Su Yunjin, and her power has been slowly increasing. A few days ago, her power actually broke through to the Dragon Realm. Keep in mind, she never practices martial arts; she entered the Dragon Realm naturally.
This is truly unique. Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me, what is it about the Empress that makes her so special?"
"Her Majesty the Empress possesses the physique of a Heavenly Phoenix."
Xu Yuandao didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.
"The Body of the Celestial Phoenix".
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie frowned slightly and looked at Xu Yuan, asking, "What is the Heavenly Phoenix Body?"
"This is a long story. The Heavenly Phoenix Body is one of the twenty-four precious bodies in the Great Thousand World, and it is most suitable for cultivating the Heavenly Phoenix True Technique. It is the most core candidate for successor of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace."
"Tianfeng Palace".
Chen Jie memorized the name. If he had the chance to enter the Great Thousand World, he would definitely visit the Heavenly Phoenix Palace in person and rescue his wife.
Xu Yuandao nodded slightly and said, "That's right, it's Tianfeng Palace."
"The Heavenly Phoenix Palace is one of the twelve major sects of the Great Thousand World. Its palace master is a powerful expert in the Sitting Meditation Realm and one of the twelve Dao Lords who rule the Great Thousand World."
"The Heavenly Phoenix Palace is very powerful. In the Southern Region of the Great Thousand World, it is supported by six major empires."
"Its sect is filled with countless rare and precious materials, as well as numerous cultivation techniques. Moreover, it is presided over by the Heavenly Phoenix True Technique, a top-level cultivation technique. It is truly a place of dominion."
Xu Yuandao sighed softly as he said this: "To be honest, Her Majesty the Empress's treatment in Tianfeng Palace is definitely better than here, and she has a better future than following Your Majesty the Emperor."
Xu Yuandao's words were utterly treasonous. If Chen Jiusi were to pursue this matter, he could easily kill him with a single slap.
But Xu Yuandao was gambling, gambling on Chen Jiu Si's magnanimity.
Chen Jie looked at Xu Yuan and said, "What do you mean? Just say it."
When Xu Yuandao saw Chen Jie asking him a question, he felt relieved and thought to himself that he had made the right bet. Thinking of this, Xu Yuandao asked Chen Jie, "Does Your Majesty know the origin of the Heavenly Phoenix Physique?"
Chen Jie shook his head: "The Heavenly Phoenix Body is one of the twenty-four precious bodies in the Great Thousand World. It is precious in itself. If any sect discovers it, it will be regarded as a key person to be cultivated, or even the successor of the sect."
"Moreover, the Heavenly Phoenix Physique is particularly special. The special thing is that all the palace masters of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace possess the Heavenly Phoenix Physique. Therefore, in every dynasty, the first thing the palace master of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace does upon taking office is to find the next successor of the Heavenly Phoenix Physique."
"Because if we cannot find someone with the Heavenly Phoenix Physique, then the Heavenly Phoenix Palace's lineage may be cut off."
"This is an unbearable blow to the entire Heavenly Phoenix Palace. So, although the Heavenly Phoenix Palace is the overlord of the Southern Region and has six empires under its command, it has always maintained good relations with other countries. Moreover, it has a foreign policy that the Heavenly Phoenix Palace will provide substantial resources to anyone who can help them find the Heavenly Phoenix Body."
"The abundance of these resources is so great that it could even tempt a Supreme Elder at the Creation Realm." "If a disciple of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace discovers a Heavenly Phoenix Physique and brings it back to the palace, firstly, the Heavenly Phoenix Physique will certainly be accepted as a personal disciple by the Palace Master. The person who brings the Heavenly Phoenix Physique back to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace will also be treated as the protector of this Heavenly Phoenix Physique's successor and nurtured within the palace, receiving resources far exceeding those given to ordinary personal disciples."
"Lan Xian is a descendant of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, so she naturally knows this rule. That's why she was so excited when she discovered that the Empress was a Heavenly Phoenix, and even went so far as to expose her identity to forcibly abduct the Empress to the Great Thousand World."
"But there is no need to worry about Her Majesty the Empress's safety at all, because even if Lan Xian herself is killed, she will not allow Her Majesty the Empress to be in any danger, because Her Majesty the Empress is the Heavenly Phoenix Body that the Heavenly Phoenix Palace has been searching for for a long time."
Xu Yuandao paused here, looking at Chen Jiu Si, whose expression had clearly relaxed a lot.
He wasn't as worried as before. After all, Su Yunjin wasn't in any mortal danger, which was definitely great news for him. As for the rest, Chen Jiu Si could overcome them slowly. At worst, he could just ascend to the upper realm and go find Su Yunjin.
Xu Yuandao then looked at Chen Jie and said, "Actually, I can tell you a crucial piece of information."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Xu Yuan and said, "What news is it? Tell me about it."
Xu Yuandao then slowly said, "Princess Tianfeng is over 3000 years old this year. She took the title of Princess Tianfeng two thousand years ago. She has been searching for the successor of the Tianfeng Body for two thousand years. Her lifespan is at most 3500 years. That is to say, in another 500 years, she must enter the Tribulation Realm. After the tribulation, she only has two choices: either die or ascend to the upper realm."
"And these 500 years are her and Tianfeng Palace's last chance to find a successor."
“It takes time to train a successor. It may take four or five hundred years to train someone to the Sitting Meditation Realm to take over the identity of the Palace Master. In other words, the Heavenly Phoenix Palace doesn’t have much time left to prepare.”
"Now that Her Majesty the Empress's successor has appeared in Tianfeng Palace, she is definitely the apple of Tianfeng Palace's eye. The Palace Master will definitely personally impart all his knowledge to her and protect Her Majesty the Empress every step of the way until Her Majesty the Empress has reached a certain level of cultivation and inherits Tianfeng Palace."
"Your Majesty. In this small world, the Empress is merely the Empress of a nation, but in the Great World, she will be the overlord of the Southern Region and the successor of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace. There, she can choose from all kinds of rare and precious materials, cultivation techniques, and magical treasures. Such an opportunity is extremely rare, isn't it far better than being an Empress in the lower realm?"
After Xu Yuandao finished speaking, Chen Jiu Si fell into deep thought. This was indeed a good opportunity. If his wife could seize this opportunity and become the Palace Master of Tianfeng Palace, she would be a powerful ruler in the Great Thousand Worlds, far more prestigious than the mere Empress of the Great Han Kingdom.
Having thought this through, Chen Jiu Si was completely relieved about Su Yun Jin's safety.
But now the question arose: should he go looking for Su Yunjin? To find his wife? Chen Jiu Si pondered for a moment and then made up his mind. He had to find his wife, even if she was Princess Tianfeng, she was still his wife.
Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at Xu Yuan and said, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
Xu Yuandao raised his hand and said, "I swear to heaven. If I have lied to you, may I be struck by lightning and never be reincarnated."
Hearing this, Chen Jie felt relieved. He then looked at Chen Li, who was kneeling, and said, "Li'er, stop kneeling. You should have heard about your mother's situation. We don't need to worry about her safety anymore. Next, your father may go into seclusion to break through his cultivation level and ascend to the upper realm to find your mother. The future of the Great Han Empire is now in your hands. You must be diligent."
"Yes, Father." Chen Li lowered his head upon hearing this, and after a while, he looked up at Chen Jie and asked, "Father, will I still be able to see my mother?"
Chen Jiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to see your mother again."
"But before that, you must govern the Great Han Empire well. By the way, the Antarctic and Arctic relocation plan I mentioned must be completed as soon as possible. The sooner it is completed, the more powerful your father will be to rescue your mother."
"Yes, Father." Chen Li replied.
Chen Jie said, “Of course, everything must be done with the people first, and violence must not be used indiscriminately. The transformation of the North and South Poles must be carried out step by step. Father can wait. Ten more years or even a hundred years is fine. Father will buy you enough time.”
Chen Li nodded.
At this moment, Chen Jie said, "I will have someone arrange a set of rules for you. From today onwards, you will fulfill your duties as emperor. Your father will no longer concern himself with any political affairs of the Han Empire; everything will be entrusted to you."
After giving Chen Li his instructions, Chen Jie looked at Zhang Sanfeng and Phagpa and asked, "Are you two interested in ascension?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng and Phagpa glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Of course we are interested."
Chen Jie said, "Let's go to the secret room and talk in detail."
With that, he grabbed Xu Yuandao and headed towards the secret chamber.
Upon entering the secret chamber, Chen Jie looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Alright, there shouldn't be any interference now. We can now discuss the Tao Yuan Continent in detail."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuandao looked at Chen Jie and said, "I've basically told you everything you wanted to know. What else would you like to know?"
"Your sect. Since you can go out together with Lan Xian from Tianfeng Palace, your sect must be quite extraordinary."
Xu Yuandao nodded: "My sect is the Hunyuan Sect, which governs a corner of the southeast. It is also one of the twelve major sects in the world. Our sect leader is a big shot in the Zuowang Realm. He governs a region and has seven empires under his command, with as many as a hundred affiliated sects."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie nodded and said, "It really is a major sect."
After explaining this, Chen looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Since you're so powerful, your sect's techniques must be very strong too, right?"
Xu Yuandao's expression changed, and he looked at Chen Jiedao, saying, "Stealing other sects' techniques is the greatest taboo in the Tianyuan Continent. If you want to ascend to the Upper Realm, I advise you not to set your sights on our Hunyuan Sect."
Chen Jie looked at Xu Yuan and said, "So you're saying you're not going to give it to me."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuandao frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "Man is the butcher, and I am the fish on the chopping block. What can I do?"
Chen Jie looked at Xu Yuan and said, "You don't need to be like this. I just found this in your storage bag. It should be the jade slip that records your sect's cultivation techniques."
Chen Jie took out a jade slip from his storage bag, which indeed contained records of the Hunyuan Sect's cultivation techniques.
Chen Jie looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Mr. Xu, how about you memorize this technique once?"
Xu Yuandao's face showed helplessness: "You're really cautious enough."
Chen Jie said, "I read a novel where a martial arts master named Ouyang Feng went insane because he practiced a modified martial arts technique without any reference. I don't want to become like that."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yundao sighed and said, "Alright, I'll tell you." (End of Chapter)
