Chapter 84: Qiu Shuzhen’s Breakthrough

A group of people went immediately to the Shouning Palace.

Once they arrived, they quickly surrounded Li Mu, who was lying under the jujube tree.

“This is Consort Li. You, kneel down!”

A green-robed eunuch yelled.

“You’ve interrupted my sunbathing!”

Li Mu waved his hand.

His coat came off, revealing the red robe inside.

A green-robed eunuch just accused him? How dare he!

The eunuchs surrounding Li Mu took a step back.

“A red-robed eunuch? A high rank doesn’t change the fact that you are still a servant,”

Consort Li said with a shrewd gaze.

As a consort, she didn’t even have a red-robed eunuch to serve her yet.

She didn’t expect that the old thing lying in this deserted palace was a red-robed eunuch.

She was jealous!

How could a deserted palace have a red-robed eunuch?

“You think you are superior now?”

Li Mu glanced at Consort Li.

She was wearing a grand garment and headdress designed especially for consorts.

A few days ago, she was just a concubine.

“What did you say? You’re speaking to an imperial consort, and you didn’t even kneel down. How dare you! You should be beheaded!”

“I can see you are really arrogant now!”

Li Mu shook his head.

He closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

“Pull him down and punish him with Yi Zhang Hong. Beat him until we see a pool of red blood. How dare he be so disrespectful!”

Consort Li said angrily.

Boom!

An explosive aura rose up.

The eunuchs who had made a move against Li Mu were pinned to the ground.

“You… you dare to resist!”

Consort Li said in shock and anger.

She was surprised that Li Mu was an expert.

She was angry that this old thing dared to assault a consort.

Inside the Hall of Harmony, Liu An was discussing with several important ministers.

Suddenly, he stopped talking and disappeared.

“Go and ask some inner palace experts to come here. Tell them that I met an assassin in the Shouning Palace!”

“Where is the assassin?”

A majestic voice said.

Consort Li and the court ladies behind her were stunned. When they recovered, they turned around to bow.

“Your Majesty. It’s this bastard here. He dared to be rude to me. Please do something for me, Your Majesty!”

Consort Li said, her eyes welling up with tears.

She watched Liu An walking up to Li Mu without any expression on his face. But Li Mu was still lying on the recliner, as if Liu An didn’t exist.

She was even more pleased.

“Old son of a bitch,” she thought to herself.

“You even dared to be rude to His Majesty. You are so dead!”

“I don’t think you’ll be able to spoil my precious son again.”

“How dare you! This is His Majesty! You are still not going to kneel down?”

Consort Li took the opportunity to accuse Li Mu.

All of a sudden, she saw Liu An bending down and bowing to the eunuch on the recliner.

“Eunuch Li, how have you been recently?”

“Thanks for your kind regards. I’ve been quite good! My days are slow and easy, and my cultivation has been greatly improved. But you, on the contrary, haven’t put your mind on cultivation these years!”

Li Mu seemed to imply something.

In just a few years, Li An had taken so many concubines.

He now had more than thirty children.

“Uh! Eunuch Li, you’ve made your point. I’ll correct my behavior and will definitely spend my time and energy on the right thing.”

Liu An was acting as if he was Li Mu’s grandson, and spoke in a respectful manner.

“Hmm! It seems that you’ve been stuck at the halfway point of Perfected Person for quite a long time. Your talent is not below that of your Ninth Uncle. He is already at the fifth level of Perfected Person.”

Saying that, Li Mu poked Liu An on his forehead

“Thank you for your advice, Eunuch Li!”

Liu An closed his eyes to feel Li Mu’s power. It took him quite a while to regain his consciousness and bow to Li Mu again.

In the backyard.

Consort Li and the others were extremely surprised.

What were they looking at?

The Emperor actually bowed to this eunuch.

Who was this eunuch?

What made the Emperor of Xia, the most powerful country in Nanzhou, bow down to this eunuch?

Also, who was that Ninth Imperial Uncle?

What did the fifth level of Perfected Person mean?

Was there an unknown expert in the imperial family?

It was top secret!

It seemed that they all heard Clan Liu’s top secret.

“What…”

Consort Li’s lips trembled. She was speechless.

It was totally unexpected.

After Li Mu disappeared, Liu An turned back to look at Concubine Li.

“It is a heavenly blessing for you that Eunuch Li likes Xiaoshiliu. How dare you accuse him. Get out and spend the rest of your life with remorse in the Cold Palace!”

Boom!

Consort Li fell to the ground.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Shouning Palace, there were people laughing and giggling every day.

Every day, the Sixteenth Prince was working hard to find answers to Li Mu’s questions.

In just three years, everyone in the entire palace felt like they had become smarter.

The nine-year-old little Sixteenth Prince had grown up.

One day, Li Mu was resting under the jujube tree, eyes closed.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the north.

“Did someone just perceive the rules?”

That person was just a little bit away from reaching the Virtual Realm.

It seemed that soon, there would another expert of the Virtual Realm in Zhongzhou.

And he was quite close to Nanzhou.

Li Mu frowned tightly.

“Grandpa, what’s wrong with you?”

The Sixteenth Prince noticed the sudden change in Li Mu’s complexion.

“I’m going to leave for a while. You can read as many books as you like! Just remember to put them back on the shelves.”

Another expert of the Virtual Realm appeared in Zhongzhou.

It was not a good thing for the people in Nanzhou.

There would be a new threat for Clan Xia.

Instinctively, Li Mu felt a hint of something unusual.

He wanted to know about the situation of Liu Yu.

He had to go back and take a look.

Returning to Clan Xia, Li Mu scurried into the forbidden ground.

“Congratulations to the host for successful check-in. Sixty years of power rewarded.”

As expected, the reward for check-in here was better than checking in at the Well of Prenatal Qi in the underground palace.

Although the Prenatal Qi here was far less than what he could acquire at the Well of Prenatal Qi, the check-in reward he just obtained seemed to be much better.

Half a month later.

On the forbidden ground, Li Mu finished his one-day check-in.

But just as he was about to continue his cultivation…

An indescribable aura came rushing in.

He seized it to find out what happened.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

“Another expert of the Virtual Realm has appeared in Honghai Sacred Ground? Is it a human or a devil?”

The aura seemed a little bit familiar to him.

In Honghai Sacred Ground

Qiu Shuzhen slowly regained his breath.

Looking at the three dry corpses beside him, he walked out of the cave with a cold snort.

The three dry corpses were the dead bodies of three Elders.

They were the three most defiant Elders, after he had delegated his power to lower levels.

He had tricked them into the cave and sucked their cultivation.

Doing that meant that he had cleaned up the internal threats for the Sacred Ground and enhanced his own strength at the same time.

In addition to his own perception, he now had acquired these three Elders’ perception.

On top of that, with the guidance of the Grand Shishu, he had finally reached the Virtual Realm.

It was a natural achievement after he integrated the perception of the three Elders.

“This method is really interesting. Fortunately, I have already reached the Virtual Realm. Otherwise, it would really be difficult to resist the thrill of improving my power in this way.”

Qiu Shuzhen closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

A flame emerged from his palm.

A moment later, the beast-skin scroll turned into a wisp of smoke.

He had memorized the method in his mind.

Even if it was not burned, it was no longer useful to him.

For the Virtual Realm, this kind of incomplete method was not that useful for power improvement.

Suddenly, a thought jumped out of Qiu Shuzhen’s mind.

If the incomplete method was already so powerful, what about the complete method?

He could no longer suppress this thought.

“I need to find the complete method! But no… I can’t lose my mind to it!”

He shook off the thought and walked out of the cave.

After removing the disobedient Elders, the Sacred Ground was a much more stable place than before.

No matter how dissatisfied the other Elders might be, at least they appeared to be quite cooperative.

“Hmph! They dare to be disloyal? That would be perfect! I’m going to destroy Clan Xia and the Virtual Realm. These poor things will serve my purpose!”

There were only six Elders left in the Sacred Ground. Three of them were missing, and the Sect Master was in isolated cultivation.

It seemed that the Sacred Ground was on the verge of collapse.

Many selfish disciples began to feather their own nest in various ways.

In the cities of the Sacred Ground, people from Nanzhou also became restless.

The Sacred Ground was going to lose control.

“Hmph! It’s also time to change the Elders.”

The corner of Qiu Shuzhen’s mouth twitched upward. He seemed to be smiling.

When he returned from his isolated cultivation, he received an important message.

The prenatal qi in Nanzhou and other places showed signs of slow recovery.

This was interesting!

Without much time left, he decided to take over this fertile land one step earlier.

Dong!

Dong Dong!

People suddenly heard the drums of the Sacred Ground.

The Elders and Deacons who heard the drums all turned back towards the main hall.

“What happened?”

They dropped their business and quickly ran towards the main hall.

When they saw the figure standing in front of the main hall, they were all surprised.

“Sect Master… You, you are back.”

“Hmm!”

Qiu Shuzhen narrowed his eyes and answered without any emotion.

The Elder who greeted him looked extremely unpleasant.

He hated Qiu Shuzhen for being so indifferent to his greetings.

“If it weren’t for the fact that the Grand Elder of the Sacred Ground was from Clan Qiu. Do you really think that you could be the Sect Master?” he thought.

He flew into the hall.

He decided to wait and see what Qiu Shuzhen intended to plot.

Soon, the other Elders walked into the hall, one after another.

Finally, Qiu Shuzhen stepped into the hall and sat on the main seat.
