" Yan Cheng, the Grand Commander of the Black Guard —who would have thought that the Black Guard no longer belongs to the Imperial City, but is controlled by the Third Prince? Tsk tsk!"
Ling Yi smiled at Yan Cheng as he watched the Simulation bullet comments scrolling by.
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Yan Cheng's pupils contracted. This person had actually recognized his identity at a glance.
"Please be careful with your words. The Black Guard belong to His Majesty, and only to His Majesty." Yan Cheng's Shang-Chi surged, and a domineering intent burst forth.
Ling Yi was very familiar with this Aura; clearly, Yan Cheng also practiced the Overbearing Fist.
"I wonder what Liu Jin would think and do if he knew that the Black Guard had long since slipped from his control? Do you think you'd die?"
Will the Third Prince be permanently exiled?
"Who exactly are you?" Yan Cheng was completely taken aback.
If the emperor finds out about this, the consequences are unimaginable. The outcome will be exactly as Ling Yi said: he will die, the third prince will be exiled, and he will completely lose his last chance.
Having served the emperor for many years, he knew Emperor Liu Jin's personality all too well; he was a domineering, selfish man who only believed in himself.
What I hate most is betrayal.
This person knows about his relationship with the Third Prince; he must die.
"You ask who I am? Commander Yan, are you seeing things? I am none other than the Third Prince, Liu Zheng!" Ling Yi laughed.
Yan Cheng instantly understood Ling Yi's meaning: he actually wanted to abolish the Third Prince?
"Do you know what you're saying?" Yan Cheng retorted angrily.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Let me analyze this for you. Which is more valuable: a useless prince who can't cultivate, or a prince who is Grandmaster?"
"Ridiculous. Putting everything else aside, even if you were to actually depose the Third Prince and replace him in the capital, it would only arouse Liu Jin's suspicion and apprehension, and the outcome would likely be even worse."
"Don't think that being Grandmaster makes you invincible. If Liu Jin really wants to kill you, even if you're Grandmaster, you'll still die," Yan Cheng Taunt.
Ling Yi asked, "What is the relationship between the Great Qian Empire and the Hao Ran Sword School?"
"You even know about the Hao Ran Sword School?" Yan Cheng was genuinely surprised now.
Could this Ling Yi also be a member of Immortal Gate Immortal Gate? But if he is, why would he ask such a question?
If one were a member of the Immortal Gate, one should know the relationship between the Hao Ran Sword School and the Great Qian Empire.
Therefore, Ling Yi is probably not from Immortal Gate. He must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter to achieve his current level of cultivation, and he must have heard about the Hao Ran Sword School from somewhere and wants to use me to learn more.
"Answer my question."
Yan Cheng a deep breath, suppressing the urge to attack, and said, " The Great Qian Empire is an annex of the Hao Ran Sword School Sect. The Hao Ran Sword School uses the Great Qian Empire to gather cultivation resources and accumulate wealth, Hao Ran Sword School is protected by it."
"Huh? Isn't this just collecting protection money? I know this trick all too well!" Ling Yi thought to himself.
In his previous life, he was a notorious thug, and collecting protection money was one of his main sources of income.
Ling Yi was very familiar with this matter.
"Tell me about the Lower Ninth Pin Martial Practitioner," Ling Yi asked again.
Yan Cheng's lips twitched. Every time he heard Ling Yi refer to himself as "this king," he felt extremely awkward.
But Ling Yi's question also confirmed to him once again that this Ling Yi was nothing more than a wild Martial Practitioner had obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter.
However, even for a self-taught martial Martial Practitioner, achieving the Grandmaster is already quite impressive.
It should be noted that the Hao Ran Sword School rarely pays attention to the affairs of the Great Qian Empire, so the strongest person in the Great Qian Empire is only Grandmaster.
If this person really intends to kill the Ninth Prince and take his place in the capital, it's not impossible.
Of course, that's assuming he doesn't actually do anything despite his Yan Cheng.
Just then, another figure appeared in the cell.
This person wasn't wearing a mask or black clothes; instead, they were dressed in a very magnificent brocade robe, looking quite elegant and noble.
Judging by his age, he was probably around fifty years old, with fair skin and no beard, giving him a very effeminate appearance.
The moment Ling Yi saw this person, one identity immediately came to mind: a eunuch!
Checking this person's data panel, sure enough, he was a eunuch.
[ Liu Xi ]
[Position: Follower the Third Prince, Chief Eunuch of Liu Jin's household.]
[Cultivation Level: Ninth Pin Martial Practitioner, Fifth Level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm, Flying Needle Heavenly Dipper!]
[ Karmic Luck: Negative 200 - 80,000!]
After Liu Xi entered, he looked Ling Yi up and down, and said with a gloomy gaze, "Since the chess piece is disobedient, just kill it and replace it with another one. Why are you wasting your breath talking to him?"
"His Highness is waiting for news!"
"Your Highness means..." Yan Cheng frowned.
Liu Xi interrupted him, saying, "This kid looks rebellious by nature; he can't be tamed at all."
As he spoke, he pointed to his eyes. "I've been in the palace for decades; these eyes of mine never misjudge people. Kill him!"
"We can just find a more obedient stand-in later."
Ling Yi looked at Liu Xi and laughed, "Old eunuch, you're quite arrogant!"
"Heh, young man, if you have absolute strength, you can be arrogant too."
"That makes sense!" Ling Yi nodded.
Then he snapped his the Snap.
"Pfft, pfft!"
Two soft sounds rang out in succession. Looking at Liu Xi again, it was clear that the collarbones on both of his shoulders had been pierced by an unseen force.
Liu Xi looked down at the wounds on his left and right shoulders, then looked up at Ling Yi: "What kind of Heavenly Dipper Power is this? Why didn't I Perception at all?"
What it is doesn't matter; what matters is that I can kill you anytime.
"That makes sense!" Liu Xi nodded.
Just then, Yan Cheng suddenly swung his fist, about to attack Ling Yi.
But the next moment, he stopped, his face filled with terror.
Before he knew it, three translucent small swords were already pressed against his vital points.
One was placed on top of the head, one on the back, and one against the heart.
But then, the three translucent swords disappeared again.
They can't even Perception Perception.
Yan Cheng believed that the three small Jian Yi there, and if he made any further moves, he would surely die.
"Interesting!" Liu Xi's eyes gleamed.
"To answer my question, what realms are above the Ninth Pin Martial Practitioner? How does one break through them?"
Yan Cheng remained silent; instead, Liu Xi spoke first, saying, "Your Highness, let this old servant handle this matter!"
The address "Your Highness" startled Yan Cheng, causing his expression to shift for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
Ling Yi laughed heartily, " Liu Xi, you know how to read the situation. I like that very much."
"I'm glad Your Highness is happy!" Liu Xi said with a smile, as if he wasn't the one who was injured.
Although Liu Xi had a smile on his face, he felt utterly helpless inside.
With Ling Yi's strange Heavenly Dipper power, they were no match for him at all.
Moreover, Ling Yi clearly knew him well, and directly crippled his hands, greatly reducing his Combat.
Although he can release flying needles with his Divine Sense, his flying needles cannot Concealment, much less remain silent.
This kid is obviously very cunning. If Yan Cheng has Flying Sword hidden around him, how could he not have them around him as well?
Those who understand the times are wise; staying alive is more important than anything else.
"As far as this old servant knows, there are six realms above Martial Practitioner: Spirit Mastery Realm, Spirit Elixir Realm, Spirit Nascent Realm, Mastery God Realm Investiture God Realm, and Kami Realm."
"Each realm is divided into Ninth Pin, and breaking through each realm is extremely difficult. The most difficult of these is breaking through to the Spirit Mastery Realm. To break through to the Spirit Mastery Realm, one needs to fuse one's Dipper Power, but Qi and spiritual energy are two different forces, and merging them is extremely difficult."
"Under normal circumstances, one needs to use the Dipper-Sealing Pill to seal the Qi, seal the Qi, seal the Qi with Spiritual Power, and only after sealing the Qi can the Dipper Power be integrated with the spiritual power."
"If one cannot seal one's Qi, one cannot fuse Qi with Dipper Power. Even if one reaches the Ninth Pin Heavenly Dipper, one will not be able to break through to the Spirit Mastery Realm!"
Ling Yi asked, "What if we don't have the Dipper-Sealing Pill?"
" The Dipper-Sealing Pill is not necessary. People in the Immortal Gate mostly use the Sealing Qi Technique to seal their Qi. After sealing, the Dipper Power will automatically merge with the spiritual energy."
Ling Yi nodded, having learned something new.
"Alternatively, one could directly consume Mirror-Breaking Pill to forcibly break through to the Spirit Mastery Realm. Although using Mirror-Breaking Pill to break through to the Spirit Control Realm would make one's foundation unstable and one's strength much weaker than Spirit Mastery Realm who achieves it through self-cultivation, it is still ultimately Spirit Mastery Realm."
"Only upon reaching the Spirit Mastery Realm can one truly embark on the path to Immortal Gate."
"But whether it's the Dipper-Sealing Pill, the Mirror-Breaking Pill, or the Sealing Technique, only the Immortal Gate possesses them; they are not something we can covet."
"Is there a difference between sealing one's Qi with the Dipper-Sealing Pill and sealing one's Qi by cultivating the Sealing Qi Technique?" Ling Yi asked again.
Upon hearing this, the old eunuch Liu Xi's eyes lit up. Could it be that Ling Yi possessed Dipper-Sealing Pill?
"There is no difference, and relatively speaking, the Dipper-Sealing Pill is more effective."
And now, Ling Yi's final Simulation of the day has also ended.
[...]
[It turns out that Situ Yun, the outer sect Situ Yun of the Hao Ran Sword School, is the grandson of Situ Tian, an outer sect elder. Therefore, Situ Tian's presence in the imperial city is understandable.]
[ Situ Tian was a powerful expert at the Spirit Mastery Realm. Even though you possessed seven types of Dipper Power, you were no match for him. His Spiritual Power Gang Jin were too strong; you couldn't withstand even a casual move from him. You were killed by Situ Tian.]
[Ding! This Simulation has ended. Please select your reward from three options!]
[Reward 1: Simulation Memory!]
[Reward 2: 10% of your cultivation level!]
[Reward 3: 200 Mirror-Breaking Pill, 1000 Dipper-Sealing Pill, and the cultivation technique " Jiuyuan Dipper-Sealing Art "]
Ling Yi smiled slightly, "Look, now we have the Sealing Qi Technique!"
In this Simulation, Ling Yi survived for three months.
In the Simulation, Ling Yi forcibly recruited Liu Xi and Yan Cheng his Xiao Di, Instant Kill the Third Prince, and headed north to the capital as the Third Prince.
Midway through, they were ambushed by Situ Yun, who was hired by Liu Qi, but was Instant Kill by Ling Yi.
Situ Yun's death was discovered by Situ Tian, who was far away in the Hao Ran Sword School Sect, through a magical artifact. He immediately descended upon the imperial city, but the first thing he did upon arriving was to kill Crown Prince Liu Qi.
In Situ Tian's view, Situ Yun was tricked by Liu Qi into killing Ling Yi, so Liu Qi was naturally involved in Situ Yun's death.
Just then, Ling Yi entered the imperial city and was killed by Situ Tian.
"It seems the Spirit Mastery Realm is truly powerful," Ling Yi muttered, frowning.
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Liu Xi nodded and said, "That's true. Spiritual Power Dipper Power are much Li Qiang."
"Then let's break through to the Spirit Mastery Realm first, and then return to the imperial city," Ling Yi said with a smile.
At the same time, he silently chanted in his mind. "System, select reward 3!"
