Chapter 499: Tower of Babel [ask for monthly ticket! ]
Emperor Mu Bei stepped down from the carriage without any emblem and looked up at the sky. Liang Fuguo should have arrived at the palace by now.
"Ugh."
He sighed again and stepped forward.
Liang Fuguo was certainly a good minister, but as Cao Wujiu said, he never had a king in his heart. If he had always done things that were beneficial to the country, Liang Fuguo would have always helped him.
But if he did anything that was harmful to the people, Emperor Mu Bei had no doubt that Liang Fuguo would be the first to stand up and oppose him or even punish him.
Even the emperor was afraid of him.
People like Liang Fuguo and Tang Wei are the ones he fears the most.
Because they only believe in stubborn principles.
Tang Wei only cares about winning every battle, even if sometimes he needs to lose, he will still win; Liang Fuguo only cares about justice, even if sometimes it may not be so just, he will still pursue it.
This is where they shine, but also where they get annoying.
Such a person is like an extremely clear mirror, which will reflect the beautiful parts of your face, but also reveal those dirty potholes and grooves, often making people disgusted with their own ugliness.
He was not afraid of those so-called dragon and tiger ministers of the past, people like Jiang Zhenye and Cao Wujiu who would only be loyal to him, old-fashioned people like Qi Kunlun who only wanted stability, people like Song Zhili who were lazy and muddy, and people like Lu Yuanwang who endangered the court and deceived him...
Because they are human, and human nature has weaknesses. As an emperor, as long as you can grasp the weaknesses of your subjects, you can use them to your heart's content.
However, Liang Fuguo and Tang Wei had been watched inside and out by the Yinmajian for so many years, but they had not found any weaknesses at all.
There can only be one such person at most. Once there are more, the throne will no longer be accessible.
Because the emperor also has human nature, he always does some shady things.
For example, today.
Although people had been sent to provide disaster relief, the natural disaster in Liangzhou came suddenly and many people still suffered. If Liang Fuguo found out about this, Emperor Mubei couldn't imagine how much of a headache he would have.
So he must die.
Gotta die quickly.
Although Emperor Mu Bei was unwilling to admit it, the only reason he wanted to kill Liang Fuguo was that he was afraid of him.
That's why he couldn't say it.
Fortunately, there is Cao Wujiu, the old eunuch who knows how to get everything done so that Emperor Mu Bei can come to the Tower of Babel with peace of mind and enjoy the fruits of refining the dragon energy of the state.
Li Longchan had been waiting at the foot of the tower. When he saw the emperor approaching, he immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Your Majesty!"
"Imperial Master, how about the dragon fruit?" Emperor Mu Bei asked with concern at the first moment.
"Your Majesty, all the dragon energy was infused in yesterday, and the dragon fruit should have been refined by now. The restriction on the 33rd layer can only be opened with the blood of the God King. Your Majesty must open it personally to check the status of the dragon fruit." Li Longchan replied.
When the formation on top of the Tower of Babel was first built, it was restricted to being activated only with the blood of a divine king. Otherwise, Emperor Mu Beidi would not have let a group of outsiders be in charge here.
Once the dragon energy begins to be refined, no one will be able to open it except the owner of the royal god king's blood.
After experiencing the massacre by Liang Fuguo, there is not much blood of the perfect God King still alive in the world.
Accompanied by Li Longchan, Emperor Mu Beidi passed through layers of formations and arrived at the 32nd floor of the Tower of Babel.
Even though there was a thick barrier between them and his cultivation was not high, he could still feel the surging spiritual energy inside. The power of this dragon energy was beyond imagination.
"Your Majesty." Li Longchan also looked at the forbidden wall with a fiery gaze: "Please open the door."
……
broken.
When Liang Yue was awakened by the noise outside, these two words were the first things that came to his mind.
The good news is that I finally woke up.
The bad news is that only my consciousness is awake, but my body seems unable to move?
He could feel a huge amount of dragon energy flowing through his meridians. Even though it had been compressed and condensed to an extremely pure level, it still blocked his Dantian Qi sea and the meridians throughout his body, making him completely unable to move.
Simply put, it's too big and too filling.
This was really not what he wanted.
He had thought that he would leave here as soon as a day passed. However, because he was being refined too hard in the formation, he could only circulate the Qi to resist the formation.
Zhou Tian turned more and more violently, inhaling more and more dragon energy, and soon the violent vortex was out of his control. Either the vortex was broken and he was killed or refined, or the vortex was maintained until the end.
Liang Yue had no choice but to try his best to maintain it.
He had been concentrating on his work, and before he knew it, a day had already passed. However, he had no way of stopping. The dragon energy had been compressed to the point where it was almost a solid object. If he stopped rashly and it exploded, the force would be enough to turn the entire Tower of Babel into dust, not to mention his physical body.
The vortex finally stopped after he had absorbed all the dragon energy.
At this moment, Liang Yue was so weak that he had difficulty opening his eyes, but on the other hand, his body was filled with dragon energy containing tremendous spiritual power. His cultivation had skyrocketed to a level that he could not even imagine... and it was still not completely refined.
But he did not want these powers, because he knew that they were transformed from the dragon energy of Liangzhou, and were the power gained by the creatures of the state after suffering natural disasters.
Even if you force it into his arms, he won't be able to take it.
On second thought, it was better to give it to himself than to Mu Beidi. Now he could guess that this was what Mu Beidi was going to use to replenish his foundation and prolong his life. That old guy had gone crazy.
He actually wanted to exchange an entire state for his life.
If he swallowed the dragon energy himself, he could also find an opportunity to return to Liangzhou as soon as possible and stop the loss in time.
If Emperor Mu Bei swallowed it, he has a high level of cultivation and imperial power, and he will not leave the immortal realm. Who in the world can control him?
But now my problem is, how to run?
Mu Beidi and Li Longchan are about to come in to inspect the dragon fruit. If they find that they cannot move here, wouldn’t it be equivalent to adding a container for the dragon fruit?
It is not a problem at all to refine yourself in an instant.
Liang Yue had no choice but to cheer up and start activating the meridians blocked by the dragon energy. As long as a trace of spiritual energy could pass through, it would be fine. As long as the fairy vine could be activated, there would still be a glimmer of hope, at least he could bet that they would not be able to find him.
Hearing that Emperor Mu Bei was about to lift the ban, Liang Yue couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Damn it, turn around quickly!
At this critical moment, I suddenly heard another change outside.
Before opening the ban, Emperor Mu Bei turned around and said, "National Master, you and the others can go down first. I will be the only one left here."
But Li Longchan just looked at it eagerly, and said gloomily: "Your Majesty, this dragon fruit is the result of my life's hard work. Please allow me to witness its birth with my own eyes..."
