I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 305 Who would want to be someone else's lackey if they could be their own emperor? (Please subscribe and vote!)
Qiu Xianyu seemed to be telling a great legend: the Dragon Emperor had once suppressed an entire world and was able to collect all the wealth in the world; he was the true supreme ruler of heaven and earth.

While Lin Mo expressed his admiration with words like "amazing" and "impressive," he was thinking to himself: No wonder your Yuan family was wiped out.

With this kind of wealth accumulation, it's hard for people not to rebel.

Although Lin Mo harbored resentment towards Li Chen, as an official of the Ministry of Works who had been in the court for so long, he at least knew that Li Chen and the previous Li emperors were generally normal except for the high expenses incurred during wars.

Looking at it this way, Lin Mo felt that emperors were all bad people.

There was nothing he could do; he simply didn't have a good impression of the emperor.

Even if Li Chen is better than the Dragon Emperor, he still can't stand him.

As he entered the depths of his destination, Lin Mo took a deep breath and felt a strange resonance between his internal cultivation technique and the energy here, as if every wisp of spiritual energy was actively drawing closer to him.

"Just standing here, I feel I've benefited immensely," Lin Mo murmured to himself, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He knew that if he could cultivate here for a period of time, his cultivation level would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

Qiu Xianyu seemed to sense Lin Mo's thoughts and gave him a cold glance: "Don't be too happy yet. Although the energy here is rich, it is very volatile. You need to meditate and circulate it to absorb it, otherwise you will easily be backfired by the spiritual energy here."

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly composed himself, saying respectfully, "Thank you for the reminder, Lady Qiu. I will be careful."

It was just this one sentence that made Lin Mo realize that Lady Qiu wasn't such a wicked person after all.

Perhaps she was a royal concubine in the past, and given her status, it's normal for her to speak rudely. There's no need for me to take it to heart.

For a fleeting moment, Lin Mo wondered if this beautiful woman might be destined to be with him if the Dragon Emperor didn't wake up.

Lin Mo is a man after all, and he doesn't have much resistance to mature, aloof, beautiful women like this.

But this thought only flashed through my mind. Qiu Xianyu was the Dragon Emperor's woman; who would dare to lay a finger on her?

If the Dragon Emperor were to awaken, he would have to be directly refined into a pill.

This is no joke. According to historical records, there were some evil cultivation techniques of this type in previous dynasties.

Besides, Wei Manying has been so good to me, how could I possibly abandon her after starting something so wonderful?

Qiu Xianyu didn't say anything more, and led Lin Mo through a long corridor.

There were other passages around the long corridor. Lin Mo glanced at them and saw that they were probably the palaces where the Dragon Emperor's other concubines were sleeping. There were many palaces, so it seemed that quite a few people were sleeping here.

In addition, there are powerful puppet guardians and sacred beasts guarding the area.

While marveling at the extravagance once again, Lin Mo had a thought in his mind: In other words, apart from the Dragon Emperor, the sleeping beings here are all stunningly beautiful mature women like Qiu Xianyu.

Each guarded palace is like a treasure trove, inspiring a sense of longing within one's heart.

Lin Mo felt as if he had returned to the past, when he applied for a job as a servant in the Jiang family. Everyone knew that it was a land of women, which was the dream of countless passionate young people.

Isn't this just an even more luxurious version of the Jiang family's residence?

Lin Mo wasn't so greedy just now because it wasn't worth taking such a big risk for a woman.

However, if the potential profits are enormous, then it's still acceptable to be greedy.

Whether one is greedy or not depends on how great the temptation is.

Lin Mo was thinking, if the Dragon Emperor doesn't awaken, wouldn't all the women and wealth here be mine?

It's normal for him to think that way, after all, he doesn't have much respect for the Dragon Emperor.

As a chosen one of destiny, who wouldn't want to stand at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, reigning supreme? Just like Lin Mo's current position as an official in the imperial court, it's precisely because he can't contend with Li Chen that he can only develop his power slowly.

The Dragon Emperor's tomb is filled with countless resources, wealth, and beauties.

If I were to take it for myself, wouldn't I be able to replace the Dragon Emperor, or even overthrow Li Chen and establish my own dynasty?
At that time, he could also make Wei Manying his empress.

Who would want to be someone else's lackey if they could be emperor themselves?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt a little excited and involuntarily generated fluctuations in his pulse technique.

Qiu Xianyu noticed this, but she thought Lin Mo was just inexperienced and excited about the upcoming cultivation, so she didn't think much of it.

If she had known that Lin Mo dared to have such an idea, she would definitely have killed him right there.

Qiu Xianyu was absolutely loyal to the Dragon Emperor and could not tolerate anyone else disrespecting him.

Just as Lin Mo was plotting how to keep the Dragon Emperor from waking up, he had already followed Qiu Xianyu to a relatively simple room.

The stone door opened, and the room appeared much simpler compared to the luxury outside.

There were no jewels inlaid on the walls, nor gold bricks on the floor; only a few ordinary stone slabs were laid out.

Lin Mo, however, felt that the energy here was much denser than outside, which even caused his internal cultivation techniques to circulate involuntarily.

Qiu Xianyu said calmly, "This is your training ground. The energy here is most compatible with your cultivation method. If you can calm down and cultivate, you will definitely make a breakthrough."

Lin Mo was overjoyed and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Lady Qiu!"

This thank you was more sincere than before; the more I looked at the beautiful woman before me, the more pleasing she became to the eye.

Qiu Xianyu smiled coldly: "No need to thank me. You should thank the Dragon Emperor. This is the Dragon Emperor's favor to you."

Lin Mo was speechless for a moment, but dared not say anything more.

For now, I'll thank you, Dragon Emperor. Once I've got everything you have here, I'll be even more grateful.

"Alright, you can stay here and cultivate in seclusion. Remember, you only have seven days to cultivate. During these seven days, you must stay here and do not wander around."

After Qiu Xianyu finished speaking, he turned around and left the room with Wei Manying.

Lin Mo watched the two beauties leave, shaking his head to clear his mind of distractions.

He sat cross-legged, feeling the rich energy around him, and the internal energy cultivation technique began to circulate slowly within his body.

As he circulated the energy, he felt a warm current surge from his dantian, flowing through his meridians and throughout his body, as if every inch of his flesh and blood was cheering with joy.

"Seven days later, I will definitely give them a surprise and let them know what true talent is."

With that thought in mind, Lin Mo closed the stone door and began his secluded cultivation.

At this moment, Li Chen and Wu Nanzhi had already arrived at the entrance of the cemetery.

"Your Majesty, this must be the entrance to the cemetery. How do we get in?"

Because someone had just gone in, the surrounding fog was still very thin. Wu Nanzhi often went out to explore with Li Chen, and soon discovered the entrance to the tomb.

Li Chen looked at the cemetery but didn't have much of a clue. Perhaps there was some kind of trap nearby?
Just as he was about to study the entrance to the cemetery, a rumbling sound came from the stone gate, as if someone was about to come out from inside.
