Chapter 44 Your Majesty, I Don't Want to Try Anymore

The Crow's Heart Sutra was mentioned by the ancient tree of Crow's Nest to Liu Chengfeng.

"Are outsiders allowed to enter the ancestral hall?"

Liu Chengfeng expressed his doubts, saying that the ancestral hall of Qiuchi Kingdom was the location of Lingchi, which was jointly owned by the royal family and the Grandmaster's Mansion.

Apart from royalty and nobles, outsiders had no way of entering the ancestral hall.

But it's interesting that Ye Ziyang and the others invited him to open an ancestral hall.

Empress Qiuchi looked at Liu Chengfeng, her imperial majesty still evident.

"You can also enter the ancestral hall."

"How to get in?"

"Prince."

Empress Qiuchi slowly uttered two words.

Liu Chengfeng was taken aback at first, not quite understanding, but then he suddenly realized what was happening and stared at Empress Qiuchi as if struck by lightning.

"Your Highness, your Prince."

This startled Liu Chengfeng, who thought he had misheard; this was absolutely impossible.

"Why not?"

Empress Qiuchi seemed to understand Liu Chengfeng's thoughts, but her expression remained unchanged.

"You want to recruit me as a prince."

Liu Chengfeng felt no surprise, but rather dismay and uncertainty.

The prince was the husband of Empress Qiuchi, whom she chose as her husband.

The king of a nation, a great figure of the Great Dao Divine Treasury, is revered by all in Qiuchi Kingdom, and was chosen to be a prince!
If such a huge pie fell on you, any man would be knocked unconscious.

Liu Chengfeng wasn't stunned by the blow; alarm bells were ringing in his mind.

He's not handsome enough for Empress Qiuchi to choose him as her husband.

"Why was I chosen as a prince?"

Liu Chengfeng was not surprised, but looked at Empress Qiuchi warily. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

"I like it, is that not allowed?"

Empress Qiuchi sat there, her imperial aura undiminished, as if she were doting on her own man.

"No, I'm not that kind of person."

Liu Chengfeng shook his head, his words righteous and stern, and refused Empress Qiuchi.

"If you wish to become a prince, you may choose any royal martial arts manual you wish to learn."

"Young lady, it sounds like I'm the one who's getting the better deal, but the truth is you're the one who's getting the better deal from me."

Liu Chengfeng glanced at the Autumn Pool Empress, who exuded imperial power.

He was provided with royal martial arts manuals to practice, and he could create his own martial arts techniques, which meant he was raising the level of the royal family's martial arts techniques.

"Royal blood medicine and mountain pills are provided for your cultivation."

Empress Qiuchi continued to add more chips to Liu Chengfeng's tally.

"Although blood medicine and mountain pills are precious, I am all alone and my need for them is limited."

Empress Qiuchi's eyes narrowed, her imperial aura overwhelming, forcing men to submit.

"In the royal treasury, there is a batch of Eight Directions National Clay, which is of medium quality. I will use it as a betrothal gift for you."

"Mid-grade national mud".

Liu Chengfeng was taken aback.

To reach the Great Perfection of the Four Steps of Treasure Mountain, one must merge with the Primordial Mud.

Yuan clay is categorized into different grades: mountain clay, city clay, national clay, etc.

Each level of Yuan clay is further divided into upper, middle, and lower grades, as well as the supreme grade.

Once Liu Chengfeng's cultivation reaches this point, and he merges with the primordial mud, he will achieve great perfection.

Empress Qiuchi, discerning Liu Chengfeng's needs, offered him a mid-grade national mud as a temptation.

"The national treasury has only one such item, and Lady Chen is merely a low-grade national treasure."

Empress Qiuchi stared at Liu Chengfeng, determined to take him in.

Not only was Lady Chen's Flowing Cloud Mud a low-grade national mud, but Empress Qiuchi's own Green Mountain Mud was only a mid-grade national mud.

The Eight Directions National Mud, worth over 100 million spirit stones, is quite a generous gesture.

As a betrothal gift for a prince, it shows sufficient sincerity.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to work hard anymore, please accept me."

Liu Chengfeng laughed and teased the Autumn Pool Empress.

"You agree?"

Empress Qiuchi stared intently at Liu Chengfeng.

"Unfortunately, I am not that kind of person."

Joking aside, Liu Chengfeng composed himself and refused.

“Outside the capital, there is a branch of a spiritual vein that is no less powerful than the Yun Sect’s spiritual vein. It is under the royal family’s name and can be given to you as a betrothal gift.”

"A branch of the Ba Yu Spirit Vein, outside the capital."

Liu Chengfeng's expression immediately froze.

"Qiyun Sect is far from the capital, and the risks are unpredictable. If we build another cave, we can ensure our safety."

Empress Qiuchi discerned Liu Chengfeng's thoughts and aligned herself with his wishes.

After being threatened by Ma Xian, Liu Chengfeng considered moving the Qiyun Sect to the capital and building a large base there, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows.

The Autumn Pond Empress sent a branch line, which was exactly what Liu Chengfeng wanted.

"Your Majesty, you are tempting me so much that it is hard for me to refuse."

"Then I agree."

“I am not that kind of person, Your Majesty.”

Liu Chengfeng shook his head, refusing the temptation of Empress Qiuchi.

"Are you just going to sit idly by and watch the Qiyun Sect be in danger?"

"You have a point."

Liu Chengfeng sighed softly, staring at Empress Qiuchi.

"Why was I chosen? Is it simply because you want me to be a prince?"

If it were that simple, he would never believe it; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"I saw your talent and chose you as my son-in-law."

When it came to the important matter of marriage, Empress Qiuchi spoke without the slightest hesitation, her imperial demeanor unchanged, as she spoke of her favor with Liu Chengfeng.

"That's just one reason."

Liu Chengfeng did not believe that Empress Qiuchi was simply that simple.

"You've been poisoned."

Looking at Empress Qiuchi, Liu Chengfeng revealed a shocking piece of news.

"nonsense--"

Empress Qiuchi's face darkened, a cold light flashed, and her imperial aura pressed down on Liu Chengfeng like a mountain.

Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath, circulated his blood energy, and the World Tree appeared, supporting the imperial might.

You know perfectly well what's going on.

Liu Chengfeng met Empress Qiuchi's piercing gaze without flinching.

"You want me to obtain the Fire of Departure, and you want money to cultivate the Fierce Beast Heart Sutra, all in order to expel poison. Control the Fire of Departure to burn away the deadly poison."

Empress Qiuchi listened quietly to Liu Chengfeng's words with a cold and sharp gaze.

"Your Majesty, you are not only poisoned, you are also in critical condition."

"The power struggle between the royal family and the Grandmaster's Mansion is not something that can be resolved overnight. Ye Ziyang is wary of your divine skills and is no match for you."

"What if we add Nangong Zheng and Wu Yuanqing, two Great Dao Divine Treasures? Your Majesty, could you fight three against one?" "Even if you have invincible divine skills and can fight three against one, what about the Ascending Dragon Holy Sect? Not long ago, the Ascending Dragon Holy Sect destroyed the Flying Phoenix Kingdom. It's hard to guarantee that they won't destroy the Autumn Pool Kingdom today."

"If Ye Ziyang joins forces with the Ascending Dragon Holy Sect to destroy the royal family, Your Majesty, what will you do to deal with it? Even if Wu Yuanqing's arrival without authorization is a coincidence, what about Nangong Zheng?"

"The coup is imminent. Instead of summoning Lady Chen to the capital, Her Majesty the Empress banished Su Youqian. This is to preserve the royal bloodline and hope that the Su family of Tiger Hill can escape this calamity."

As Liu Chengfeng recounted his story, Empress Qiuchi, cold as ice and with eyes like knives, stared at him.

"Are you done?"

"I've finished speaking. Does Her Majesty wish to silence me?"

Liu Chengfeng spread his hands, meeting the cold gaze of Empress Qiuchi without fear.

After a long silence, Empress Qiuchi finally spoke.

"The Divine Dynasty has issued a decree that both the Royal Court and the Holy Church intend to sacrifice you alive. Aren't you in imminent danger?"

In the end, Empress Qiuchi looked coldly at Liu Chengfeng.

“I am on the verge of death, but Her Majesty the Queen still wants me as a prince, which makes me feel flattered.”

Liu Chengfeng did not appear flattered.

"So, are you going to take it or not?"

Empress Qiuchi was aggressive, seemingly about to drag Liu Chengfeng into the bridal chamber at any moment.

“My dear wife, we’re in the same boat. If you need me to be strong, I’ll show you how strong I can be.”

"Do you want to see it?"

Liu Chengfeng blinked.

"What are you looking at?"

Empress Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, not quite reacting.

"Look how strong and powerful I am."

Liu Chengfeng gave an ambiguous smile.

"roll--"

Empress Qiuchi was furious, unleashing her imperial might and the power of the Great Dao.

Liu Chengfeng was blasted away, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Empress Qiuchi stood in front of him, the power of the Great Dao pressing down on him, threatening to crush him.

"Hey, hey, hey, you murdered your husband."

Liu Chengfeng was so overwhelmed by her weight that he could hardly breathe and let out a shout.

"Next time, I'll crush you."

Empress Qiuchi's face was icy cold, her gaze murderous, and she turned and left.

Shameless bastard.

She didn't let Liu Chengfeng see her blushing.

"Hey, you're not serious, are you?"

Liu Chengfeng shouted at the back of Empress Qiuchi.

"What do you mean, 'really'?"

Empress Qiuchi stopped in her tracks without turning around.

"You want to make me a prince? Are you serious?"

"Once you overcome this difficulty, you may cancel your application. The palace will not retain you."

"If I don't cancel, will this fake situation become real?"

Liu Chengfeng was curious.

"You need to have the ability."

"You little wench, who do you think you are? I'm going to make sure you end up in my bridal chamber."

Liu Chengfeng's eyes were like a tiger's, staring at the Autumn Pool Empress's round, pert buttocks with a predatory intent.

Empress Qiuchi stiffened and then walked away.

"Follow my instructions and do what I tell you to do."

When Empress Qiuchi left, she remained aggressive and domineering.

"As you command, my dear wife."

Liu Chengfeng responded, thinking to himself that once he had cultivated the Great Dao Divine Treasury, he would teach this little wench a lesson and see if she would still be so arrogant!
After Empress Qiuchi left, she sent over Eight Directions Kingdom Mud and Blood Medicine Mountain Pills, showing great generosity in presenting betrothal gifts. Empress Qiuchi was serious about this.

Liu Chengfeng knew perfectly well that the prince was just putting on an act, and that the two were cooperating.

He must train as soon as possible to become stronger, otherwise he will be unable to fight against powerful enemies.

Liu Chengfeng took blood-nourishing medicine to strengthen his blood, swallowed mountain pills, and sculpted his physical body.

I practiced day after day, adjusting my blood, energy, and physical body to their best condition.

When one's blood and energy are abundant and there are no hidden ailments, it is time to merge with the primordial mud.

Eight-sided national mud, medium-grade national mud, is highly valuable, and it is like jelly.

Liu Chengfeng activated the Dragon and Phoenix Azure Gold Heart Technique, absorbing spiritual energy. He held the Eight Directions National Mud in his hands, slowly absorbing it and integrating it into his body, permeating his muscles and bones.

The mud from all eight directions entered his body, making him feel the power of an entire nation flowing into him. It was incredibly heavy, crushing his muscles and bones, and his whole body creaked and groaned.

His whole body felt like it was about to break, and the pain was so intense that Liu Chengfeng wanted to grind his teeth to pieces.

Clenching his teeth, he circulated his inner energy again and again, allowing the primordial mud to gradually integrate into his body.

The whole process was excruciatingly painful, repeated again and again, to the point that Liu Chengfeng almost fainted.

After week after week of refining, the Eight Directions National Mud completely merged into Liu Chengfeng's body.

The primordial mud melted away, transforming Liu Chengfeng, who expelled all the impurities from his body, leaving behind a thick, black paste.

After washing your entire body, without needing to practice any techniques, you can see that every inch of your skin is like a treasure, radiating light.

Not only is it solid and unbreakable, but every inch of its skin contains a large amount of spiritual energy.

Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed when he realized that the treasures of Baoshan had reached their perfect completion.

He activated the "Dragon and Phoenix Azure Gold Heart Method," and eight thick shields appeared around his body, each as heavy as a mountain, with dragon scales and phoenix feathers appearing on each shield.

Mountain mud forms the membrane, city mud forms the armor, and national mud forms the shield.

The eight thick shields protect the nation, offering extremely high defense.

The Dragon and Phoenix Azure Gold Heart Sutra is an innate virtuous scroll, capable of imbuing the national shield with extraordinary phenomena, increasing its defensive power many times over.

The Great Perfection of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury is the time to break through to the Guide Divine Treasury.

Liu Chengfeng activated the Blood Sea Heart Method and the Treasure Mountain Heart Method, unleashing the power of both methods simultaneously. The Blood Sea surged, and the Treasure Mountain resonated, propelling him towards the bottleneck.

Liu Chengfeng absorbed enough spiritual energy and launched his strongest attack to break through the bottleneck.

Blood energy roared, precious light surged, and suddenly ancient runes emerged from the heavens once more.

The ancient cultivation technique was activated, directly absorbing Liu Chengfeng's blood energy and precious light.

"not good--"

Liu Chengfeng was greatly surprised, not knowing what the ancient mental cultivation method was going to do.

When the Blood Sea Divine Treasury broke through, the ancient cultivation method planted the World Tree for him. What kind of trouble is he causing now?

Liu Chengfeng could not control the ancient mental technique, and his blood energy and precious light suddenly slashed down, as if splitting the earth.

The treasure of Baoshan Mountain shook the mountain, startling Liu Chengfeng so much that he jumped up in fright.

"It's all over——"

Liu Chengfeng was greatly alarmed; this was going to destroy his treasure trove.

The ancient martial arts technique struck, causing a sharp pain that nearly made Liu Chengfeng faint.

When he came to his senses, Liu Chengfeng, still shaken, discovered that a deep abyss had been cleaved open in the treasure mountain.

The abyss was bottomless, and looking down, one could see a faint divine light, but no one knew what lay beneath.

Tiandaoyuan.

The celestial bodies have given this abyss a name.
