After the blue-robed envoy explained everything, he simply left neatly.

Inside the handsome tent, Ye Cheng looked at the boundary card and jade slip in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

"First elevate the martial intent to the true image realm, and then you can use the aura in those spiritual lands to raise your cultivation to innate perfection."

Ye Cheng planned in his heart.

Although you can attract the power of heaven and earth after having a boundary card, it is not your own power, and it is still unreliable.

Only one's own cultivation realm is the capital to be based on the world.

At this time, a voice came from outside, "Lord Wang, Grandpa Yao is here." ”

"Let Grandpa Yao come in."

Ye Cheng said.

Soon, Yao Xiu, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, walked in, saluted Ye Cheng first, and then said, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace." ”

Ye Cheng nodded, then got up and walked out of the tent with Yao Xiu.

More than half an hour later, Ye Cheng arrived at the Yang God Temple.

Cheng Kandi looks much older, and he has a lot of gray hair on his head.

In fact, Cheng Kandi Su Zhe is also in his sixties.

Although he is not a congenital martial artist, he has an acquired perfect cultivation, and he has never been injured in battle in his life.

The reason why he looks old is mainly because he has been working hard all year round and staying up late.

In addition, in addition to the queen and concubines, Emperor Cheng Kang has accepted more than a dozen concubines, just like his father, the only difference is that in addition to more than 20 princesses, there are more than a dozen princes.

The youngest prince is said to be only a few years old.

The crown prince Su Cheng is already forty years old.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty."

Ye Cheng said after saluting.

"Ye Qing, sit."

Cheng Kandi Su Zhe said with a chuckle.

Ye Cheng sat down on the side.

"Ye Qing, I asked you to come over this time, mainly to discuss my abdication."

Cheng Kandi smiled.

In that year, the first emperor abdicated early and passed the throne to him.

So he also has this plan, the crown prince is already forty years old, and he is a grandmaster, and he is in his heyday, and it is the most suitable to pass the throne to the crown prince.

He mainly felt that his body was a little unsupportable, and he just wanted to retreat and relax for a few years.

"Your Majesty, the ministers should support themselves."

Ye Cheng said.

"The crown prince is not like me, nor like the first emperor, his personality is too strong, if no one is in charge, I am afraid it will be easy to take a detour, so I hope Ye Qing can manage it in the future."

Cheng Kandi sighed and said.

He knew that the crown prince Su Cheng was not close to King Taiwu, unlike the previous emperor and he could trust King Taiwu 100%.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be a good emperor in the future."

Ye Cheng said.

"Hopefully, Ye Qing, I'm glad to have you, otherwise I would really not be at ease."

Cheng Kandi said with emotion.

Ye Cheng didn't speak, and he could hear that Cheng Kandi had a bit of a will.

After all, Cheng Kandi's body is indeed a bit poor.

Usually not very restrained in some aspects, if you can take good health, you may be able to live for ten or eight more years.

......

Coming out of the temple of nourishment.

Ye Cheng was about to leave in the carriage, but suddenly he found that there was an extra person in the carriage.

It's a little girl.

Probably six or seven years old.

The little girl who can appear in the palace is either a princess or a county lord.

"Shh

The little girl suddenly stretched out her finger, put it to her mouth, and sighed, obviously not letting Ye Cheng speak.

Ye Cheng couldn't laugh or cry a little.

There are many princesses and county lords in this palace.

I heard that in addition to the crown princess, the crown prince Su Cheng has several side concubines and many children.

"If you take me out of the palace, I'll give you a treasure."

The little girl looked out of the window warily, and then whispered.

By this time, the carriage was already moving slowly.

"What's your name, and why are you in this carriage?"

Ye Cheng asked with a smile.

He had already used his martial intent to seal off the inside of the carriage, so he didn't have to worry that the horseman outside could hear it.

"Why are you asking so much, I'll give you the baby anyway."

The little girl said with a frown.

"If you don't say it, then I'll have to let you go down."

Ye Cheng chuckled.

"You're a man... Okay, my name is Su Linglong, my father is the crown prince, and my mother is Concubine Yu, but when I was a few years old, my mother died of illness, and since then, I have never seen my father again, and I am lonely in the East Palace, and I will be bullied by the palace maids and eunuchs every day..."

The little girl was talking and talking, her eyes were full of tears, her mouth was flattened, and she was so aggrieved that it was distressing.

"You must be a big official, just take me out, if I continue to stay in the palace, I will definitely be killed, the crown princess is fierce, she doesn't like me very much..."

The little girl pulled Ye Cheng's sleeve and said with a handful of snot and tears.

"Are you sure you want to get out?"

Ye Cheng chuckled.

"Uh-huh, I don't want to stay in the palace even if I die..."

The little girl nodded like a peck of rice, with a pair of big black eyes with infinite anticipation.

"Okay."

Ye Cheng smiled and nodded.

"Great..."

The little girl was very happy, then turned around, flipped through a small package she carried with her for a while, and finally reluctantly grabbed a hosta and handed it to Ye Cheng.

"That's not enough."

Ye Cheng shook his head.

"That's a lot of money."

The little girl's eyes widened.

"You are the county lord, I will take you out of the palace, that is a big crime of killing your head, you give me a small hosta, this is too risky."

Ye Cheng shook his head and said.

"Okay."

The little girl's face was tangled for a moment, and then she grabbed another handful of things from the package with a painful face, "It's all for you." ”

"Not enough."

Ye Cheng still shook his head.

"Then, how much do you want, I'm lonely, so pitiful, you still rob with fire, why are you adults so bad?"

The little girl looked pitiful, as if she was about to cry.

"Think about it, you are the county lord, I will take you out, if I am found, I will be killed, and my family will also be affected, so I took your money, I will definitely go away, how can I run away without money."

Ye Cheng thought that this little girl was very interesting, and she was idle and bored anyway, so she said with a smile.

"What you say makes sense, so how much do you want?"

The little girl thought about it for a moment, and then asked.

"I'll do it all."

Ye Cheng said seriously.

"Ah, you want it, this can't be done, I'm out of the palace, I don't have any money, how can I buy delicious food and fun?"

The little girl's eyes widened, she didn't expect Ye Cheng to be so greedy.

"It's very dangerous outside, it's not safe for you to bring so many treasures, you give it all to me, in fact, it's for your good, of course, if you don't want to go out, then forget it, I'll stop the carriage now and let you go down."

Ye Cheng said.

"But I'll give it all to you, and I won't have any money."

The little girl burst into tears again.

"You kid, you can only take some ordinary small money, these are too expensive, so let's do it, you give me the package, and I'll give you some money."

Ye Cheng said.

"Okay."

The little girl struggled for a long time, and finally handed the package to Ye Cheng in order to be able to get out of the palace.

Ye Cheng took the package and weighed it a little, good guy, they are all very precious gold and silver jewelry.

So he also took out a dozen copper coins from his bosom and handed them to the little girl.

"What is this?"

The little girl looked at the copper coin and asked curiously.

In the palace, there are naturally no copper coins.

"It's money, and with this money, you can buy good food, fun, and you don't have to worry about being targeted by bad guys, because everyone out there has such money."

Ye Cheng said.

"Wow, this is the money out there?"

The little girl was completely attracted by the dozen copper coins, and she couldn't put it down and played with it.

The carriage left the palace and drove down the street.

The little girl looked through the window at the world outside that was different from the palace, revealing an extremely curious look.

Ye Cheng looked at the little girl's excited look, smiled slightly, and when he got out of the inner city and came to the outer city, he waved his hand, and suddenly the little girl was wrapped in a ball of innate true qi, flew out of the carriage, and landed under a corner.

Only then did the little girl react, and could only watch the carriage go away.

However, she was soon attracted by the stall not far away.

The faint smell of burnt came over, and the little girl hurriedly ran over.

It turned out to be a place that sold meat pancakes.

"How much does this cost?"

The little girl swallowed and asked.

"One, five copper coins."

The stall owner took a look at the silk he was wearing, and at first glance he knew that it was a big family, and immediately stretched out five fingers.

"Huh? So much, huh? ”

The little girl counted the dozen copper coins in her mouth, showing an indignant expression, "This person is too bad, he deceived me of so much gold, silver and jewelry, and only gave me a dozen copper coins, no, I will let my father punish him well in the future, and dare to cheat the county lord's money." ”

Eventually, though, she counted five copper coins and got a meat pancake, which she ate deliciously.

After a while, she spent six more copper coins to buy a string of rock sugar gourds, and three copper coins to buy a very delicate and beautiful little noodle figure....

In the end, she only had one copper coin left in her hand.

After eating, drinking, and having fun, the little girl finally yawned, and she usually sleeps at this time.

But she was outside the palace, and there was no place to rest, so she could only sit under the wall and curl up.

Not far away, two men dressed in splashy clothes were already eyeing the little girl.

They looked at each other, then walked over to the little girl.

But suddenly, a figure holding a sword blocked the way.

The cold eyes made the two splashes shudder, and they hurriedly fled.

The figure holding the sword glanced at the little girl, then turned around and disappeared.

......

At the same time, there was already chaos in the East Palace.

Because the prince's favorite Linglong county lord is gone.

The biological mother of the county lord of Linglong, although she is Concubine Yu, is also the sister of the princess, because Concubine Yu died of dystocia, so the county lord of Linglong has always been taken by the princess.

Shukeiden.

"How do you look at the county lord, if Linglong is missing a hair, your heads will all fall to the ground."

The crown princess said coldly.

There were several palace maids and eunuchs kneeling in front of them, all of them trembling and looking panicked.

Because they know that the ruthless princess can do what she says.

It didn't take long for the crown prince Su Cheng to return.

"Haven't you found Linglong yet?"

Prince Su Cheng asked in a deep voice.

"No, I've searched the East Palace, I'm looking for it in other places, Linglong is greedy for fun, I should have gone to other places, during this time, this girl has been clamoring to go out of the palace to play."

The crown princess said.

Then she said to the palace maids and eunuchs, "What are you still kneeling for, hurry up and go out to find it." ”

"Yes."

These eunuchs and palace maids were relieved, and after hurriedly saluting the prince, they ran out.

"Hey, this girl is so naughty, she says every day that I murder her and treats her badly, but fortunately her biological mother is my own sister, otherwise it will be spread out, and I will think I abuse her."

The crown princess said helplessly.

Because Linglong lost her biological mother since she was a child, whether it was the crown princess or the prince, they were very doting on her, but they also developed a character that was not afraid of heaven and earth.

"She's still young, and when she grows up, she won't think like that."

Prince Su Cheng chuckled.

The death of Concubine Yu was indeed a lifelong pain for him.

Therefore, he also poured too much fatherly love into Linglong.

In front of other heirs, he has always been serious, but in front of Linglong, he has never been angry once.

......

Ye Cheng returned to the barracks.

As for the Linglong County Lord, he naturally wouldn't just let it go, but notified the people of the black-clothed guards and asked them to secretly protect the Linglong County Lord.

If she didn't let this Linglong county lord experience the hardships and dangers of the people, it is estimated that she would not give up her plan to leave the palace.

Therefore, Ye Cheng did what she wanted.

Anyway, with the protection of the black-clothed guards, he is not afraid of anything that will happen to the county lord of Linglong, at most he will suffer a little.

For him, it was just a small episode.

He sat cross-legged in the tent and continued to comprehend the martial arts.

First elevate the martial intent to the true image realm.

....

It's been three days.

The county lord of Linglong had a dirty face, and the clothes on his body were also full of dirt.

She stood in front of a steamed bun shop, smelling the fragrant scent of steamed buns, and swallowed her saliva.

In the past few days, she has not eaten enough and slept well, let alone finished speaking.

She didn't expect it to be so fun outside the palace.

She really wants to eat the osmanthus cake in the palace, she really wants to sleep on the soft bed, she really wants the princess to hold herself, hum a song to her, and her father.... He'll tell himself stories, too.

"It's that hateful guy who cheated me out of all my money, woooooooooo

Lord Linglong couldn't help crying.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded, followed by a large group of eunuchs of the Praetorian Army escort swarming around a carriage.

Soon, the carriage stopped, and Prince Su Cheng stepped down from the carriage.

He looked at his daughter, covered in dirt, a little incredulous.

And when the county lord Linglong saw it, he turned around and ran.

Because she ran out, her father would definitely scold her.

"Stop."

Prince Su Cheng shouted.

But the county lord of Linglong didn't stop at all, but ran faster.

But she was so hungry that she didn't have enough to eat at all, and she didn't have much strength.

I can only rely on some kind people to give a little food every day.

Prince Su Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and suddenly a burst of innate true qi shot out, and he wrapped around the county lord of Linglong and grabbed it back.

Even if he was caught, the county lord of Linglong was still struggling.

"Linglong, my father is really angry this time."

Prince Su Cheng looked at the tragic image of his daughter, he was distressed and helpless, and even more annoyed, so he immediately put on a face and said.

So saying, he took his daughter with him, got into the carriage, and returned to the palace.

"Tell me, how the hell did you get out?"

Prince Su Cheng asked.

The county lord of Linglong just didn't speak.

After a while, the crown prince Su Cheng finally couldn't help it, slowed down his tone and said, "Linglong, is it okay if your father is not angry with you, you told your father, how did you run out?" ”

In the past three days, the palace has almost turned upside down, but I haven't seen the county lord Linglong.

In the end, I thought of looking for it outside the palace, and finally got the news of the Linglong County Lord.

Who would have thought that the Linglong County Lord, who was only a few years old, would be able to run out of the palace without knowing the ghosts.

"Father, you, are you really not angry with me?"

Only then did the county lord of Linglong look up and glance at the crown prince Su Cheng.

"Don't be angry, how can my father be willing to be angry with you, it's just that in the past few days when you have been away, my father is worried about death."

The crown prince Su Cheng hugged the county lord of Linglong and said in a soft tone.

"Woooooo Father, Linglong has been miserable these days, I can't eat enough, I can't sleep well, I can't play, and I was deceived, that liar, I cheated all the treasures that my father and mother rewarded Linglong, woo woo woo..."

The county lord of Linglong cried sadly.

She had never suffered so much, and she had experienced it in the past three days.

"Liars? What a liar, tell your father, and your father will help you get revenge. ”

When the crown prince Su Cheng heard this, he was furious, there was a liar, and he dared to deceive his precious county lord.

"It's an official, it should be a big official, I met it outside the Imperial Grandfather's Cultivation Temple...."

The county lord of Linglong immediately painted the image of the liar.

Prince Su Cheng gradually got it, and his face became strange.

"Linglong, are you sure this person lied to you?"

Prince Su Cheng asked curiously.

"Of course, he cheated all my treasures away, so he gave me seventeen copper coins, I thought it was a lot of money, but I didn't expect a meat pancake outside, it cost me five copper coins, a sugar gourd six copper coins.... The meat pancakes and sugar gourds are delicious, but I don't have any money..."

The more the county lord Linglong spoke, the more sad he became, and he cried like a flowery face.

Prince Su Cheng didn't know how to comfort his daughter.

He has basically determined that the one who took his daughter out of the palace was Taiwu King Yecheng.

No wonder my daughter left the palace and wandered for three days, except for nothing to eat and nowhere to sleep... Everything else is fine.

"Linglong, is it fun to leave the palace this time?"

Prince Su Cheng asked.

"It's not fun, I want to go back to the palace, see my brothers and sisters, see my mother, see my grandfather ....."

Lord Linglong wiped his eyes, shook his head and said.

"You won't just run out of the palace in the future, will you?"

Prince Su Cheng asked again.

"Never again, there's still a liar out there, it's so bad, father, you must catch that liar and get back those treasures of mine, okay?"

The county lord of Linglong shook his head, then grabbed the arm of the crown prince Su Cheng and coquettishly became coquettish.

"Linglong, that's not a liar, that's King Taiwu, don't talk nonsense."

Prince Su Cheng hurriedly said.

"Ah, King Taiwu, is that the wise and martial King, the number one powerhouse of my Qianguo who shocked the four kingdoms?"

Lord Linglong's eyes widened and he asked curiously.

The rumors about King Taiwu have naturally been circulated in the palace for a long time, not to mention that the eunuchs and palace maids are in awe, and even the palace lords, the emperors, and the princesses, are very worshipped.

Lord Linglong has always heard about the deeds of King Taiwu from his brothers and sisters and even uncles and aunts, so he also worships this name very much.

"That's right."

Prince Su Cheng smiled and nodded.

"Wow, I actually saw King Taiwu? Then forget it, I don't want those treasures. ”

The Linglong County Lord's eyes were full of little stars, and he was very happy, "Father, when can I practice martial arts?" ”

"Practicing martial arts, why do you want to practice martial arts?"

Prince Su Cheng was stunned for a moment by his daughter's leaping thoughts, and immediately asked.

"I will also become a strong man like King Taiwu in the future."

The county lord said with a serious face.

When Prince Su Cheng saw the serious expression on his daughter's little face, he couldn't help laughing, "Okay, Linglong is ambitious, but practicing martial arts is very hard." ”

"Linglong is not afraid of hard work."

Lord Linglong shook his head.

Prince Su Cheng smiled, only treating his daughter's words as a child's words, and didn't take them to heart.

How can martial arts be so easy, you can become a strong person casually?

After he became the Illusory Grandmaster, he couldn't see any further hope at all.

It is too difficult and too difficult to reach a realm like King Taiwu.

......

Chengkang 33rd year, April 9.

Emperor Cheng Kang abdicated and was honored as the emperor.

The crown prince Su Cheng succeeded to the throne and built Yongxing.

On the day when the crown prince held the enthronement ceremony, King Qinglan and King Yunhao personally came to Yujing with an envoy to worship the new emperor.

Since Qinglan and Yun Hao are ministers, they naturally have to remove the throne and demote to the king.

Donglai also sent the crown prince to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

......

Late at night.

Nozenji Temple.

Ye Cheng sat in the meditation room.

His martial intent had almost reached its limit.

This time, he was going to use the boundary card to attract the power of heaven and earth to carry out an extreme oppression, prompting the transformation of martial intent and entering the true image realm grandmaster.

Call!

Ye Cheng let out a sigh of relief, and then slowly closed his eyes.

With a move of martial intent, it is injected into the boundary card.

With an invisible wave transmitting out, it seems to have a connection with some invisible force between heaven and earth.

Rumble!

Even though it was dark night, even the two rounds of moonlight were hidden in the clouds, but I could still feel that this space was distorting, and the terrifying power of heaven and earth was vibrating, spreading, and pervasive, oppressing all life in this space.

And Ye Cheng, as the initiator, is the first target of the power of heaven and earth.

In a trance, Ye Cheng felt his consciousness blurred, and the next moment, the golden light in his mind shone brightly, and he quickly recovered his shattered martial intent and damaged divine soul.

But he felt that his martial intent had reached a limit and could no longer be improved.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier.

He had tried before, wanting to use the meditative state to communicate with the subconscious, and once again liberate the subconscious in the mirror image like he did last time.

But this time... It's not that easy.

He understands that it has to do with people's qualifications and understanding.

It's not that you can break through smoothly when you reach the limit of martial intent.

From the virtual to the external, from the external to the real, from the real to the celestial... There are all levels of bottlenecks.

He just went from the appearance to the reality, and the bottleneck had already appeared.

But there's no way around it.

Maybe that's what he qualifies.

If it weren't for the fact that he had the Immortal Dao Fruit and was able to use some extreme means to cultivate, he would have been lucky to reach the innate level, not to mention the External Elephant Grandmaster now.

The continuous power of heaven and earth has been raging in this space.

Ye Cheng was in such a painful state, his martial intent was shattered, his divine soul was lost, and then he was repaired, and this process was repeated.

His consciousness sank.

I don't know how long it has been, in the depths of Ye Cheng's sea of consciousness, the hidden subconscious seems to be unable to bear such pain anymore, and suddenly emerges, and then collapses inch by inch, on the other hand, Ye Cheng's surface consciousness grows at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, Ye Cheng's consciousness sobered up.

He quickly severed his connection with the boundary card.

Only then did the raging power of heaven and earth dissipate.

Ye Cheng didn't sit cross-legged, but curled up his body, sweating like pulp.

Whew....

Ye Cheng's breathing was extremely short, even with his martial intent, his divine soul consciousness had been repaired by the Immortal Dao Fruit.

But he still couldn't recover from the terrible experience he had just had.

The power of heaven and earth lasted a little too long just now.

If it weren't for the fact that part of his subconscious mind was finally liberated and his apparent consciousness was raised, I am afraid that he would have been immersed in it and could not extricate himself.

That's the real nightmare.

After a long time, Ye Cheng felt a little better.

"It seems that no matter how strong the Immortal Dao Fruit is, it can't erase the shadow on my soul."

Ye Cheng was full of emotion.

After this time, he didn't dare to use the boundary card for a short time.

The power of heaven and earth is terrifying.

The shadow he caused this time is simply indescribable.

He thought that after enduring so many times, he should be able to adapt to it.

But now it seems that it is still far from enough.

In the face of the power of heaven and earth, the longer it endures, the more difficult it will be to support it.

"In this way, the Great Grandmaster of the Celestial Phenomena is much more terrifying than I imagined."

Ye Cheng sighed in his heart.

He closed his eyes and carefully felt the martial intent after the transformation....

Very strong.

Very strong.

Exceptionally strong!

Super strong!

Stronger than ever.

If the martial intent of the external image realm is only initially formal, then the martial intent of the true image realm is already the same as the innate true qi.

Suddenly, his mind moved, his martial intent bloomed, and the sword placed in front of him slowly emerged.

It's not that he's using his innate true qi to drive the Evil Sword to ward off evil.

It's about relying on martial will.

Shout!

The sword of warding off evil spirits came out of its sheath, and a touch of sword qi vibrate, transforming countless sword shadows.

Suddenly, he used his innate true qi to cooperate with his martial intent, and in an instant, with him as the center, a large piece of sword light emerged, and then converged into a sword river, shuttling like water inside and outside the meditation room.

"The martial intent of the True Elephant Realm is really unusual, the same sword qi, with the support of the martial intent of the True Elephant Realm, not only does it consume half less of the innate true qi, but the power is at least three times stronger."

Ye Cheng's face was shocked.

This is equivalent to using the True Illusion Realm Martial Intent, the same martial arts... It can be increased by more than three times, and the consumption is reduced by half.

It's no wonder that the True Elephant Realm Grandmaster has a crushing advantage over the Outer Elephant Realm Grandmaster.

What's more, what he is using now is only the self-created sword book to ward off evil spirits.

This can only be regarded as an Outer Realm martial art.

Compared with the martial arts of the True Illusion Realm, there is still a big gap.

He had to improve and upgrade it before he could truly exert the strength of the True Realm, perhaps the power could be increased to more than ten times.
