It's Over, the Two of Us Have Become Former Dynasty Imperial Remnants

North Sea

Lu Xingshi looked at the North Sea in his hand. It had nine attributes, and every single one was +100. Back then, Desert Saber Gao Li's Yellow Sand Heavy Saber had only possessed a single attribute—Force Breaking—and it had merely been +1.

At the same time, he noticed that his Divine Martial Legend Innate Trait was marked as completed. This meant that this was a Divine Weapon fated for him, one with legendary qualities.

"North Sea was originally a Divine Weapon that only the Former Yan Imperial Family could use. If paired with 'Kun Peng Devouring the World,' one could cultivate..." Murong Xuan had been explaining North Sea's origins to Lu Xingshi when he suddenly noticed that Lu Xingshi had effortlessly put it on. "Fuck, how can you wear it?"

"Huh? Is there a problem?" Lu Xingshi felt that North Sea suited him perfectly. As for being unable to wear it, that was simply impossible. Not only was it already fated to him, but he possessed the Innate Trait All Grass as Soldiers, allowing him to ignore all usage requirements for weapons.

The moment North Sea was equipped, its nine attributes immediately stacked onto him.

Aura Control increased the control and recovery of Inner Force; Abyssal Sea increased the maximum amount of Inner Force; Vast Expanse improved the quality of Inner Force; Yin and Yang balanced Inner Force.

The four attributes from Cloud Journey to Whirling Wind enhanced the inheritance of "Kun Peng Devouring the World."

As for Heavenly Mandate, he could not feel its effects.

However, he could be certain that North Sea had little connection to "Longevity Eternal Youth." Instead, it was part of a set with "Kun Peng Devouring the World," which struck him as rather strange.

This legendary weapon, paired with the complete "Kun Peng Devouring the World," formed a complete set.

"How could there not be a problem? It is said that only those with the Murong Clan bloodline of the Former Yan Imperial Family can wear North Sea. Just like the current Great Song Imperial Family possesses a Dragon Sparrow—rumor has it that only those of imperial blood can use it, and only after mastering the 'Imperial Zenith Heavenly Tome.' It is currently in the hands of the Lord of Imperial Awakening Palace." Murong Xuan sized Lu Xingshi up and down.

He had previously called Lu Xingshi a Former Yan Remnant. Now, it had been confirmed that he himself was one.

Seeing this, Lu Xingshi said nothing and simply removed North Sea, handing it to Murong Xuan.

"Here, Master. I suppressed North Sea with my powerful Physical Constitution. Try it yourself. If you can wear it too, then I'll follow you in pretending to be Former Yan Remnants and rebel together," Lu Xingshi said teasingly.

"Fine, I'll try it. I refuse to believe..." Murong Xuan froze. "Fuck!!! The two of us really are Former Yan Remnants?"

"No, not the two of us—just you, Master. I'm fake. This thing is merely fated to me. You're the genuine remnant of the former imperial family, and your bloodline is probably very pure. My preliminary estimate is that you're from the direct line," Lu Xingshi said with a grin.

The look of shock on Murong Xuan's face grew more and more exaggerated. "Heh, heh. If this gets exposed, do you think anyone will believe your explanation?"

As he spoke, he returned North Sea to Lu Xingshi. It was of no use to him.

He could indeed wear it, but he could vaguely sense some kind of rejection, preventing him from fully unleashing its complete effects.

Thus, he accepted Lu Xingshi's explanation that North Sea was fated to him.

Besides, he had neither sons nor daughters, only Lu Xingshi as his disciple. It would be wasted in his hands, whereas in Lu Xingshi's hands, it could truly shine.

Lu Xingshi put North Sea back on and said, "With my strength, they'll believe it."

With North Sea and "Kun Peng Devouring the World," along with "Longevity Eternal Youth," Lu Xingshi refused to believe that anyone would dare contradict him if he said one was one.

"Come to think of it, 'Kun Peng Devouring the World' has North Sea. Does our 'Longevity Eternal Youth' have a corresponding Divine Weapon?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.

Clearly, Langya Pavilion's "Longevity Eternal Youth" inheritance was still incomplete. It lacked a matching Divine Weapon.

"Longevity Spring Return Art" and "Eternal Youth Longevity Art" were indeed cultivation arts for nourishing the body, replenishing vitality, and extending one's lifespan. But "Longevity Eternal Youth True Art" was not. Once mastered, one's breath became deep and enduring, and one's Inner Force vast and powerful. Its path was either beating you to death or outliving you.

But once "Longevity Eternal Youth True Art" was mastered, the solution was usually to beat you to death, because it was genuinely powerful.

"Probably not..." Murong Xuan was not entirely sure either. He had originally thought Langya Pavilion was just an ordinary Hidden Sect, only to discover that it was made up of Former Dynasty Remnants. More importantly, he himself possessed imperial blood, and his disciple was also suspected of it.

So even this eighty-five-year-old man did not dare say for certain whether Langya Pavilion had other secrets he did not know about.

"Fine, I don't know either. I didn't even know that the two of us were Former Yan Imperial Remnants." Murong Xuan truly had no idea.

"Not the two of us—just you, Master." Lu Xingshi corrected him again, then asked, "So, Master, are you going to restore the dynasty? I want to be a foolish ruler."

"Just because you want to be a foolish ruler, I definitely can't rebel..." Murong Xuan felt that he truly could not rebel and restore the dynasty. Leaving aside how many years the Former Yan had already been gone, at his age, what rebellion could he possibly stage? He might drop dead any day now.

Besides, Lu Xingshi wanted to be a foolish ruler. If they restored the dynasty only for it to perish in its second generation, that would be quite the joke.

With Lu Xingshi's temperament, how could he possibly be emperor?

"What a shame. Let's keep looking and see if there's anything else good besides gold, silver, jewels, and military equipment." Lu Xingshi glanced at his Rare Treasures Accompany Innate Trait, which was still activating. Perhaps he could pick something else up here as well.

He went through all the military manuals and activated an ability related to military strategy. After reading them all, it reached 103 points, but he ultimately did not modify it to 1,000 points.

Mainly because it was genuinely useless to him. If he ever truly rebelled someday, he could modify it then.

After all that searching, aside from "Kun Peng Devouring the World" and North Sea, most of the remaining things were supplies related to rebellion. Not a single one was truly useful.

They did not lack gold, silver, or jewels. They only needed to memorize the maps of terrain. Weapons and armor would be too conspicuous if taken outside, and they were not even as good as what Lu Xingshi could forge.

"Alright, let's go. There's nothing good left," Lu Xingshi said.

"Ugh, we came all this way and got nothing out of it. You got all the benefits, while I ended up with the identity of a Former Dynasty Remnant." Murong Xuan could not help sighing. He had truly suffered a loss this time.

As for that identity, Murong Xuan did not really care. At this point, who even knew he was a Former Dynasty Remnant? So many years had passed. Who still remembered the former dynasty? Even he himself did not.

The country was peaceful and prosperous. Why stir up war for no reason?

"So, are we going back to Langya Pavilion, or are we going to challenge sects and collect inheritances?" Murong Xuan asked.

"Let's go back to Langya Pavilion first. I need to modify Golden Crow a little, then cultivate 'Kun Peng Devouring the World' to completion on the way," Lu Xingshi said after thinking it over. He had to get his equipment in order first. Sharpening the axe did not delay the chopping of firewood.
