Chapter 897: Descent
Meanwhile, at the imperial palace in Xianyang City...
Ever since summer began, the weather had grown hotter by the day.
When the weather was too hot, it affected one's sleep. That night, Zhou Xu was so hot he simply couldn't fall asleep.
After tossing and turning several times, Zhou Xu finally sat up, walked to the table, poured himself a cup of chilled tea, and gulped it down. Only then did he feel a little more comfortable.
"Forget it. I won't sleep for now. I'll study the True Words!"
The power of the True Words within his body had been almost completely depleted during his research some time ago. By now, it had recovered roughly halfway.

But there was nothing he could do. He was simply too hot to sleep tonight. He might as well get up and study the True Words. As long as he tired himself out, he would definitely fall asleep the moment his head touched the pillow.

His drowsiness was already quite strong, but he was also nearly finished analyzing the section before him. To pack it in and go to sleep at this point would feel like giving up just before
