Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 265 Zhao Qi'an and Donghua Sword Immortal
Granted the title of "Zhen Guo"?
Does this mean that Donghua has also achieved the first level of Taoism and become a Yang Immortal?

Zhao Qi'an was not surprised by this, but he felt a little emotional.

Two of the three greatest swordsmen in the world back then served under him. Although they were geniuses of the same generation, their destinies were different.

Master Chu's entire family was wiped out, and he was invaded by demonic energy. His cultivation was delayed for more than ten years. Only now has he recovered to the peak of the third level. However, it is still unknown when he will realize his true meaning and step into the second level of creation.

Although Mr. Nie's fate was slightly better than Master Chu's, he also had three fingers cut off and was now deaf and dumb. Although he was already a powerful being in the realm of creation and had a copy of the "Yangxian inheritance" in his hands, he was unwilling to follow the path of his predecessors and wanted to explore on his own. But how could this be an easy task?

Seeing that his cultivation had not improved over the years, Zhao Qi'an knew that Elder Nie might have encountered a bottleneck.

But he was powerless to do anything about it, and Nie Xiuyuan had to overcome this hurdle on his own.

If Donghua Sword Immortal had already achieved the first level of Taoism, then in terms of cultivation, he would have left the other two far behind.

"I heard that the Sword Immortal Donghua is looking to recruit a disciple to inherit his legacy in the capital this time. That's why these people are so enthusiastic."

Princess De Ling pointed at the dignitaries surrounding the Imperial Master and Sword Immortal Donghua, then looked at her husband Lin Wenxu: "Do you think our boys have a chance? How about inviting Sword Immortal Donghua to visit your house tomorrow?"

Lin Wenxu was also helpless: "Let's talk about it later."

Princess De Ling felt that she was being perfunctory. She snorted, then looked at Zhao Qi'an and said, "Brother-in-law, please don't laugh at my wishful thinking. It's because you and Sister Yuzhen don't have a child yet, otherwise you might be anxious right now. Only some fathers are not in a hurry to find a future for their children."

She was using the conversation with Zhao Qian'an to indirectly criticize her husband.

Zhao Qi'an could only agree: "It's like this for all parents."

"But you are almost thirty years old, why aren't you in a hurry to have a child? With the looks of you two, the child you have will definitely be cute."

Seeing Princess De Ling going further and further away from the issue of the child, Zhao Qi'an felt helpless.

This second aunt was really fertile. She gave birth to nine children in total, six sons and three daughters. No wonder Prince Consort Lin was so thin. He was probably squeezed dry.

Zhao Qi'an cast a sympathetic look at Prince Consort Lin, and Prince Consort Lin could only smile bitterly.

Just as Princess De Ling was mumbling to herself, she suddenly noticed someone walking towards them out of the corner of her eye.

It’s the Donghua Sword Immortal!
She was startled and quickly stood up to greet him.

But the Donghua Sword Immortal just glanced at her and then came to Zhao Qian'an's dining table.

"Zhao Qi'an?"

He actually recognized himself?
Zhao Qi'an was very surprised, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind.

Could it be... that he learned from the National Master that Nie Laotou worked under him, so he came to see him?

But Zhao Qian'an had never heard from Mr. Nie that he had any personal relationship with the Donghua Sword Immortal.

The thought flashed through Zhao Qi'an's mind for a moment, and then he stood up and said, "Junior Zhao Qi'an, nice to meet Senior Donghua."

He referred to himself as a junior, not an official title or a noble title, just to test whether Donghua Sword Immortal came because of Master Nie.

But Donghua didn't mention anything about Mr. Nie. He just looked Zhao Qian'an up and down as if he was looking at something very rare.

In the end, he just nodded and uttered two words:
"good."

After saying this, Donghua Sword Immortal didn't say anything more to Zhao Qian'an and left.

This move left Zhao Qian confused.

He sat back down in confusion. Princess De Ling had already pulled the mat next to his dining table. Her eyes lit up and she asked with great interest, "Son-in-law, do you know the Swordsman Donghua?"

Zhao Qi'an answered truthfully: "Today is the first time we meet." Princess De Ling, however, was full of disbelief: "It's the first time we meet. There are so many people in this palace, and several princes are sitting there, but he didn't talk to anyone. Why did he come to you on purpose to say a few words?"

Zhao Qi'an was not sure, "Maybe... my elders have a history with this swordsman."

"That's great! Can you do me a favor and ask the Sword Master Donghua to come to my house tomorrow?"

……

When Zhao Qi'an was being harassed by Princess De Ling, music suddenly sounded from behind a pearl curtain at the side of the palace.

Several palace maids carried screens and entered the hall from the side hall in an orderly manner. They laid screens along the way and covered the pedestal in the middle of the hall with gauze, completely concealing the pedestal.

Then, a eunuch's sharp voice came into the hall:
"Your Majesty has arrived."

What followed was the sound of footsteps that shook the entire palace.

"Dong dong dong..."

Above the semi-transparent screen, a huge shadow could be vaguely seen. It did not resemble a human, but was so huge that it looked like some ferocious beast from the wilderness.

Every step I take is filled with an overwhelming sense of oppression.

He is the most noble and powerful person in the world!
The ministers in front of the hall stood up one after another, including Zhao Qi'an, who walked to the middle aisle and bowed down:
"Long live my emperor."

……

Behind the curtain, Emperor Tianwu struggled to sit on the imperial couch on the high platform.

A dozen palace maids around either helped lift his legs or carried the white fat flesh, and it was with great difficulty that they managed to squeeze Emperor Tianwu's mountain-like body onto the imperial bed.

Next to the imperial couch, there was a phoenix chair.

That was originally the seat of Queen Wu, but the person sitting on the chair now is not the queen mother, but the national teacher Shui Yuexian.

But no one present thought there was anything strange about this, as if this position was supposed to be occupied by the national teacher.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the imperial teacher and the eunuchs, the Donghua Sword Immortal also stood behind Emperor Tianwu like a guard.

After Emperor Tianwu sat firmly, he looked down at the hall through the gauze in front of the stage.

Although this layer of veil prevented the people in front of the hall from seeing the emperor's true face, there was a divine light flowing in Emperor Tianwu's eyes, allowing them to see the scene in front of the hall clearly.

He said gently, "Everyone, please stand up."

After this, everyone in front of the hall returned to their own dining tables.

The longevity banquet officially began, and the Minister of Rites walked out of the ranks again and began to sing praises of Emperor Tianwu's great achievements.

Emperor Tianwu himself seemed to be uninterested in listening and coughed lightly.

The Fifth Marquis and the Thousand-year-old Prince standing by immediately understood and ordered the palace servants to bring the food tray.

The dining table for other people is just a small table for one person.

The food tray that the palace servants brought to Emperor Tianwu was a long table that could accommodate more than a dozen people, and it was filled with a wide variety of food.

Emperor Tianwu was about to eat when he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to ask Donghua Sword Immortal: "Donghua, did you go to see Zhao Qi'an?"
