Novel Bin Chapter 135: Demeanor!
Inside the Right Spring Square.
Su Qin slowly converged his aura.
“Compared with my previous estimation of how long I would need to reach Peak 4th Heavenly Layer, I am actually one to two years ahead.”
Su Qin touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.
For Su Qin’s current foresight, even if his estimation was wrong, the difference would normally only be, at most, half a month to a month; but now it was actually a full one to two years ahead of schedule…
“It should be because of the [Moon Forging Divine Sense] and it stabilized my Divine Sense, thereby increasing the speed of my Cultivation.”
Su Qin speculated in his heart.
Although he knew that the stability of his Divine Sense was good for Cultivation when he practiced the [Moon Forging Divine Sense], he didn’t expect that the improvement would be this huge.
“It seems that the trip to the Nanzhao Kingdom was worthwhile.”
Su Qin nodded slightly, he was satisfied.
In his visit, not only did he obtain this Secret Technique, but also learned the specific levels of the Legends outside.
“Since I have reached Peak, I should prepare to break through and enter the 5th Heavenly Layer.”
Su Qin slowly got up, walked out of the East Palace, and slowly walked along the green path.
The East Palace was still deserted as always, but Su Qin had long been used to it, and even enjoyed it.
For Su Qin, power, beauty and wealth in the secular world were all just like passing smoke; only one’s own strength actually matters.
This was true when he was in the Shaolin Temple, and the same is still true here in the Imperial Palace.
Otherwise, with Su Qin’s ability, even if he wants to sit on the throne, it was only a matter of thought. Who could stop him?
But he didn’t have any interest in becoming the Emperor.
Throughout the 500 years of the Tang Empire, except for the Founding Father, almost all of the Emperors had no achievements in Martial Arts.
Even the Founding Father did not establish the Tang Empire before he stepped into the Legend Realm.
This was not only the Tang Empire, but the monarchs of all the countries were similar.
Why is it like this?
Simple, human energy is limited. To achieve great success in Martial Arts, you must invest a lot of energy into it. Being the Emperor will only add workload and one would need to divide his attention.
Becoming an Emperor obviously conflicts with what Su Qin wants.
Su Qin walked along the East Palace in leisure as he meditated.
In the past three years, other than Cultivation, Su Qin also Signed In and obtained countless treasures.
Although most places in the Imperial Palace can only be Signed In once, there were still more than a dozen places where Su Qin could harvest wool repeatedly.
For example, in the Crop Altar, he obtained Vermillion Fruit.
In the Tai Chi Hall, he obtained [Celestial Eyes].
In the White Jade Square, he obtained [Dragon Conquering 18 Palms].
…
…
Among them, Vermillion Fruit is the most helpful to Su Qin. In terms of medicinal effects, the Vermillion Fruit is at least a dozen times greater than that of Blood Bodhi. Su Qin also needed to take a week to barely digest it.
You have to remember that Su Qin’s Body had already undergone the Fourth Transformation and is at Peak 4th Heavenly Layer; even absorbing the Nine Turns Pill and the Glazed Golden Pill only takes a moment.
But digesting the Vermillion Fruit actually took him a week, one can just imagine the horrifying amount of medicinal power it contained.
“Unfortunately, I only obtained about a hundred plus Vermillion Fruit in three years…”
Su Qin shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat regretful. Originally, after obtaining thousands of Blood Bodhi and thousands of drops of Innate Spirit Liquid, he planned to use his Sign In opportunity for other things; but since he obtained the Vermillion Fruit, Su Qin rekindled his interest in the Crop Altar.
There is also the Secret Technique [Celestial Eyes], which also made Su Qin very happy.
[Celestial Eyes] can observe the Qi around him. It is similar to Su Qin’s [Eyes of Truth], except that [Celestial Eyes] is not Magic but a Technique.
Su Qin discovered that if he combined the [Celestial Eyes] with [Eyes of Truth], he could view a small part of the Tang Empire with just a glance.
As for the [Dragon Conquering 18 Palms], it is an attacking Divine Art. With Su Qin’s current strength, once it is used, he would be able to send out 108 Golden Dragons and destroy everything in his path.
In general, the [Dragon Conquering 18 Palms] is a good Divine Art. Among the countless Divine Arts that Su Qin has mastered, it can probably squeeze into the top 500.
In addition to the above three items, Su Qin also obtained a large number of other treasures; a mixture of Divine Arts, Secret Techniques, Pills, and Spiritual Fruits, which either helped Su Qin by a lot or a little.
When Su Qin returned from his walk, he found Emperor Li Sheng, who had been waiting outside for a long time.
“Third Brother.”
Emperor Li Sheng waved his hand when he saw Su Qin.
Over the past three years, Emperor Li Sheng has become a lot more majestic, and he also aged a lot. White hair has grown from his temples.
“You came?”
A smile appeared on Su Qin’s face.
“Have you been upset recently?” Su Qin glanced at Emperor Li Sheng and asked casually.
Although Emperor Li Sheng had long mastered how to keep a poker face, how could he hide his emotions from Su Qin?
“It’s just some things in the Court.”
Emperor Li Sheng shook his head, raised the flask in his left hand, and smiled: “Third Brother, let’s have a drink today.”
“Of course.”
Su Qin naturally did not refuse.
Emperor Li Sheng would come to Su Qin for a drink every time he faced a major decision.
After the two of them had a few drinks, Emperor Li Sheng looked at Su Qin enviously: “Sometimes I really envy Third Brother. No care in the world, free and comfortable. Whereas me, although I am the Emperor of a country, I feel like I’m caged…”
Emperor Li Sheng said with emotion.
Su Qin simply remained silent when he heard his words.
Although he seems to be at ease, how many people in the world can actually endure staying in one place for decades and do repetitive things?
“Anyways, let’s not talk about such things.”
Emperor Li Sheng then put down his wine glass and asked, “Third Brother, do you know what happened in the Nanzhao Kingdom three years ago?”
“The Nanzhao Kingdom?”
Su Qin looked towards Emperor Li Sheng.
“Right.”
“Third Brother, since you really don’t go out, it’s normal that you don’t know.”
Emperor Li Sheng suddenly thought of something and continued: “The Holy Moon Church of the Nanzhao Kingdom was razed to the ground overnight, only leaving a palm print spanning across the entire mountain peak. Tsk tsk…”
When Emperor Li Sheng said this, he paused and said with emotion: “I always thought that there was no Legend in this era, but that palm print that destroyed the entire Holy Moon Church was probably left by a Legend. Ah…”
When Emperor Li Sheng came to know about this more than two years ago, he was still extremely shocked and thought it was impossible.
But as time passed and more information came into his ears, leading him to gradually accept this fact.
When Su Qin heard his words, he couldn’t find any words to reply.
He was very familiar with that palm print, as he was the one who left it!
“I don’t know, if in my lifetime, I would be able to see a Legend, even from a distance…”
Emperor Li Sheng’s look was that of longing.
In the more than 500 years worth of history of the Tang Empire, only the Founding Father has reached Legend Realm. The strongest predecessor was only at Peak Grade 1.
As for this era…
Not to mention a Legend, since Grandpa Zhao had died after the Emperor, there was not even a Peak Grade 1.
Although Emperor Li Sheng was helpless, he couldn’t do anything.
Martial Arts only needs abundant resources in the early stage, but in the later stages, especially when a Peak Grade 1 starts his First Transformation, although external resources can still bring help, in the end it comes down to the Martial Artist himself.
