Chapter 504 What is a Surprise [Two in One]

Listening to them arguing outside, Liang Yue's doubts were resolved.

Previously, I thought that Emperor Mu Bei would not kill the eldest prince. One important reason was that he was his favorite heir at the time. And it was later that Li Longchan found the ginseng fruit to prolong his life.

He killed the eldest prince who was most like him, and let a mediocre third prince succeed to the throne. Isn't he afraid that after his death, the Yin Kingdom will repeat his mistakes?
Now the truth is out. It turns out that when Li Longchan first came to Shendu to offer treasures, he had already brought the news of ginseng fruit. However, it was an immature ginseng fruit that would take decades to be effective.

The method of ripening eggs by infusing blood from infants' hearts should have been proposed by Li Longchan a long time ago, but Emperor Mu Beidi had never agreed to it.

After waiting for several years, no other method of prolonging life was found. The seriously injured and dying Emperor Mu Bei could no longer care about these things and decided to ripen the ginseng fruit. There was no need to keep the eldest prince.

The timeline is not what was previously thought.

However, the effect of artificially ripened ginseng fruit is not as good as that of naturally ripened ones. It gradually loses its effectiveness after more than ten years. After many attempts, Li Longchan offered him the dragon fruit, which is an unnatural method.

Emperor Mu Beidi should have been pretending to be inaccurate at the beginning, but when he really felt that his death was approaching, he would still start to pursue his own transcendence without hesitation.

Because when it comes down to it, he is a selfish and unscrupulous person.

As the eldest prince said, he may never have truly thought about passing the throne to the crown prince. His ideal is to pass it down for generations.

What happened to Li Longchan should have been just an accident. If there had been no problems with Master Zhang Xuan, or if Master Bei Luo had not been challenged, he would not have dared to show his teeth and would have just been a loyal dog of Emperor Mu Bei.

Liang Yue was refining the dragon energy while sorting out things. Before he could finish his thoughts, a battle between a loving father and a filial son had already begun.

Although Emperor Mu Bei's cultivation was not high, his body was nourished by countless spiritual plants and his spirituality was extremely strong. Once he exerted his power, it was as if his body was infinitely extended like an immortal, and he was about to pull the eldest prince over.

The eldest prince drew out a giant fang blade from behind him, swung it with a sinister aura, and instantly cut off several immortal Tai Sui. It seemed that his cultivation was also very strong, with blood and flames rising, and he had the power of a master.

"Father, our God King Blood's magic skills have also progressed rapidly, especially the Blood Demon Sword Technique that I have practiced. I think I am the first one in the thousand-year royal family to practice magic skills with God King Blood." The eldest prince smiled grimly, "This is all thanks to you!"

He made provocative remarks during the breaks in the fight, clearly trying to stir up Mu Beidi's emotions and thus induce him to reveal his flaws.

"You are worthy of being the son who looks most like me." After everything was exposed, Emperor Mu Bei gradually sobered up from his rage and showed a different face with cold and terrifying eyes. "Then do you know why I wanted to kill you back then?"

"Of course it's because of Mo Zhanyan." The eldest prince said, "It was me who first entered the Yunxiang Kingdom's palace and we fell in love, but you stole her away after meeting her... A father took away his son's wife. I've never heard of that!"

"Humph." Mu Beidi snorted coldly, "Do you think I don't know what you did? You and Concubine Ye had an affair in the palace, but I didn't punish you because you were young. The reason why I made up my mind to kill you is because you are a traitor and secretly swallowed up the immortal seed..."

The eldest prince's expression suddenly changed, and then he showed a look of relief, "You really know everything, huh, but so what? No one can find the Enlightenment Tree!"

Ok?
Originally Liang Yue was not interested in their fight and wanted to concentrate on refining, but who would have thought that he would suddenly hear the name of the Enlightenment Tree.

I can't bear to hear this gossip.

"Back then, you were the first to break into the palace of Yunxiang Kingdom. You took away two things, Mo Zhanyan and the Enlightenment Tree!" Emperor Mu Bei talked about this with gnashing teeth. "If I could seize this tree, I would have the opportunity to practice cultivation. I might not need ginseng fruit, let alone today's dragon fruit. But you, the rebellious son, kept the Enlightenment Tree privately. It's obvious that you want to kill me!"

"Hahaha..." The eldest prince laughed wildly, "That's right! I just want you to die. If you get the Enlightenment Tree, your cultivation will break through and you can live for hundreds of years. How can I have the chance to succeed to the throne? It's a pity that when I arrived at Longyuan City, I didn't dare to bring it into the city. I hid it outside the Divine Capital. This immortal seed actually disappeared along the earth veins. If I could keep this tree, how could I have such a low cultivation level today?"

"The immortal seed has spirits, and those with virtue live in it. How could you, a rebellious son who disregards human ethics, possibly keep it?" Mu Beidi laughed back, "Don't you want to know who told me the secret that you secretly kept the Enlightenment Tree?"

"Who is it?" asked the eldest prince.

When he followed the army to the south, he was the first to enter the capital of Yunxiang State, killed everyone in a palace, took away the Enlightenment Tree and hid it privately. He believed that he had done it in secret, and when he said that he had no gains, others could only believe him, after all, he was recognized as the one who would become the prince.

His selfish motive was just as he said. His own cultivation was secondary. He just didn't want Mu Beidi to live that long.

Pure filial piety.

The father has always occupied the position, how can the son get promoted?

Liang Yue listened and was moved by the couple's filial piety, while at the same time, he solved a long-standing mystery.

So how did the Enlightenment Tree, which was said to have appeared in the Yunxiang Kingdom’s palace, end up in his home?
Because the land of Kyushu is far away, it would be a bit outrageous if one swam all the way from the south.

It turned out that he was transported outside the Divine Capital by the eldest prince, and later escaped into the underground veins. This is easy to explain.

Thinking of this, he silently said to the eldest prince in his heart, Thank you, porter.

"Of course it was my concubine Ye." Mu Beidi said, "She took the initiative to tell me about the things between you, including your secret hiding of the Enlightenment Tree. If not for this, how could I have killed you, my rebellious son!"

"Ah!" The eldest prince was furious. "Absolutely impossible! Mo Zhanyan and I fell in love at first sight, how could she betray me..."

It was obvious that Emperor Mu Bei's words had shaken his mind. As the eldest prince's blood flames became hotter, they also began to flicker.

Emperor Mu Bei saw the opportunity, and the Immortal Tai Sui stretched out his sword, which suddenly opened like five fingers, wrapping the eldest prince in it, bang——

After all, the old emperor was one step ahead and succeeded in breaking his son's mentality and completely trapping the eldest prince.

"If you hadn't committed treason, why would I have harmed the people?" Emperor Mu Bei looked at the eldest prince with hatred, "The account of the ginseng fruit and the dragon fruit should be put on your head."

"Come on." The eldest prince smiled sadly, "Father, you are a person who will do anything to achieve your goals. Although you want to leave behind a reputation as a benevolent monarch, you can't fool anyone. You will do anything to retain power and satisfy your own selfish desires... You are the only one who is supreme in heaven and on earth. You practice the true Zen of self-centeredness! You are the biggest devil in the world!"

“Shut up!” Emperor Mu Bei glared angrily and swung the Immortal Tai Sui. Tai Sui's body swelled as if sucking. After a few gurgling sounds, the eldest prince inside became silent and turned into a shriveled and blurry human figure.

boom--

After experiencing repeated obstructions, Emperor Mu Beidi finally stopped concealing his cruel nature, his eyes glowed red, and he killed his own son with his own hands.

Like squashing a stink bug.

Turning around, he strode forward in front of the restriction with great momentum, and with both hands, he clasped the tentacle stained with the eldest prince's golden blood and pressed it against the restriction.

laugh--

Originally, he would have been required to sacrifice some of the God King's blood, but now he saved himself the trouble and directly used his son's blood to open the ban.

As the restrictions were gradually opened, the sound of burning continued, and the vast clouds and mist rose up. The true face of the dragon fruit was about to be revealed before our eyes...

Just when his wish was about to be fulfilled, a loud bang was heard. The Four-sided River and Mountain Cauldron on the lower level suddenly flipped over, and a golden light shot out from it, heading straight for Emperor Mu Bei!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" In the golden light, it was the figure of Li Longchan!
It turned out that he did not escape at all, but opened the tower wall and pretended to leave, and hid his real body in the Jiangshan Ding. He never gave up the fight for the dragon fruit!
No matter what, if you don’t succeed, you will die!

"Heh." Mu Beidi sneered again, "I guess you won't be willing to leave."

Emperor Mu Bei had never completely trusted this imperial master who practiced the Zen of the Self. If he were to choose the most untrustworthy person in the world, Li Longchan would definitely be ranked first. Emperor Mu Bei was also very familiar with his style of doing things, and he had to be on guard as long as he was alive.

Seeing that Li Longchan was about to rush forward and he had no chance of resisting, Mu Beidi suddenly raised his hand and threw out the Immortal Tai Sui that was wrapped around him.

call--

The Immortal Tai Sui had his own spirituality. He wrapped up the flying golden light and wrapped Li Longchan in it.

As one of the ten immortal species, the Tai Sui root can absorb the flesh and blood of living beings as well as spiritual plants and immortal treasures. In the final analysis, it will devour all spiritual things.

There are rumors that if you let Tai Sui devour it, it will eventually become an immortal. Some even say that Tai Sui was originally a demon beast, fundamentally different from other immortal species.

Now, this immortal Tai Sui with profound Taoism wrapped around Li Longchan and began to absorb spiritual power from him. Even though Li Longchan had extraordinary abilities, he would have to struggle for a while if he was entangled by this immortal seed that the royal family had carefully fed for many years.

"Ah!" Li Longchan didn't expect that Mu Beidi would be so decisive and directly abandon this thing. If he gave it to Xian Tai Sui to refine it, then Mu Beidi's years of feeding it would be a waste for him.

But the suction of Xian Tai Sui was so strong that he had to deal with it with all his strength. If he wanted to suppress and refine this thing, it would probably take some time. That time was enough for Mu Beidi to take the dragon fruit and leave. Thinking of this, Li Longchan was so anxious that he roared, "There are karmas of all living beings on the dragon fruit, you can't bear it!"

Emperor Mu Bei gave up this last protective treasure just to buy this moment of time.

"Hahaha……"

"I am the ruler of the Nine Provinces. If I can't bear it, who else can?"

He laughed out loud and walked into the restriction step by step.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, he could only see the road about ten feet in front of him. However, following the area with the most concentrated spiritual energy, he slowly walked to the center of the Dragon Pond.

With every step I take, my mind is filled with a myriad of thoughts.

He ascended the throne at a young age, stood at the pinnacle of power throughout his life, and enjoyed the ultimate in life. It was only after decades that he finally realized a truth.

Happiness can never be enjoyed enough.

BMWs, fine wine, beautiful women, and the admiration of everyone are never too much.

Especially the pleasure of standing at the top of all living beings, he would never get tired of it even if it lasted for thousands of years.

Take this dragon fruit, complete the foundation, improve the cultivation, and it will not be a problem to rise to the Grandmaster. If the fairyland is always vacant, it may not be impossible to spy on it.

By then, I will be the only emperor in Yin Kingdom in the past thousand years who has reached the fairyland!
Relying on the power of the emperor, whether it is the Xuanmen or the Wentian Tower, they must truly submit to me...

Thinking of that wonderful scene, an uncontrollable smile appeared on Mu Beidi's face. In this fantasy, he walked to the edge of the dragon pool, looked down, and searched for his dragon fruit.

Immediately...

The smile froze on his face.

In those eyes, there was originally a brilliance that encompassed the heaven and earth, but at this moment it shattered like crystal.

He said nothing, yet seemed to have lost the whole world.

silence.

A stormy silence.

……

Liang Yue said nothing, just kept refining.

When he was fighting outside and no one recognized his relatives, he had already noticed that the blocked dragon energy had loosened a little, and the strong energy instantly flowed throughout his body.

You don't know until you try. Once you try, you'll be shocked.

No one knew when it started, but his bones, flesh, and meridians had all been permeated and transformed by dragon energy, turning him into a spiritual being.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Liang Yue uses a drop of sweat from his feet to cook a dish and leaves the leftover plate there, a passing stray dog ​​may lick it and it may awaken some spiritual intelligence.

The spirituality of Yizhou’s dragon energy is so terrifying.

The ones that were still blocked in his meridians were all because his flesh had no place to digest them, so they remained there. But any part that could still be sublimated was sublimated to the extreme.

Currently, Liang Yue’s understanding of cultivation is still at the seventh level, but his actual cultivation has reached an unimaginable level.

However, he did not intend to keep the dragon energy in his body. This was not the result of his own practice, but a great bargain he had picked up.

Liang Yue didn't want the dragon fruit that everyone envied and fought for.

This was earned at the cost of the suffering of all living beings in the state. As Li Longchan said, it carries the karma of all living beings. Whoever embezzles it will be punished by heaven.

As early as when he was refining it, Liang Yue had already decided that after he left, he must return the dragon energy to Liangzhou as soon as possible.

but……

Before that, he still needs to solve the "little trouble" in front of him.

Looking at Mu Beidi who was standing on the edge of the Dragon Pond, with his back against the misty clouds, his face was dull and looked like he was about to cry.

Liang Yue showed a slightly awkward smile, "Your Majesty, surprise?"

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything. Emperor Mu Beidi was just blankly doubting everything in front of him. But as soon as he spoke, Emperor Mu Beidi could no longer hold back.

what?

I went through so much trouble, made so many plans, killed my own son with my own hands, imprisoned my loyal dog... After all the hardships to get here, I see you sitting here with a look of digestive energy on your face.

Are you still asking me for a surprise?

Explain to me what a surprise is!
"puff--"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Mu Beidi's mouth!
