Cursed Mountains and Seas

Chapter 334 Prince Guangze: Who can kill me?! Boom!!

The ministers at the heart of the Great Zhao's power knew far more secrets than others, and even though they had already guessed his identity, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"You are Han Qinyu, the Prince of Guangze, a descendant of Emperor Xiaokang?"
Didn't the officials of the Prince's Palace and the White Scale Guard say that you had been bedridden for many years due to a serious illness and were unable to get up and handle affairs?
"You actually secretly cultivated the [Three-Life-Descending King Body] passed down through generations of the White Lotus Sect, and even refined Prince Jing into an incarnation?"

They never imagined that an old man who should be nearing the end of his life, whose surveillance level by the White Scale Guard had been reduced to the lowest level, would quietly accomplish such a major feat.

The response to their questions was a sudden slap from the image of a ghost or deity.

The palm lines in the center of the palm flow and twist into three suns, evolving into the rising sun, the blazing sun, and the setting sun. The past, present, and future are all under control. No matter what, one cannot escape His palm from this attack.

This is the secret and orthodox Dharma transmission from the "Buddha's Discourse on the Precious Scroll of the Supreme Ultimate"—[The Wheel of Heavenly Plate]:
"The world's past, present, and future Buddha wheel governs the heavenly plate."

In the past, the ruler governed the four hours of Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao in the Upper Yuan, and the three-petaled golden lotus represented the Azure Sky; now, the ruler governs the four hours of Chen, Si, Wu, and Wei in the Middle Yuan, and the five-petaled golden lotus represents the Blue Sky.
The future being is Maitreya Buddha, who governs the four hours of the lower realm (Shen, You, Xu, Hai), and is associated with the nine-petaled golden lotus and the Yellow Heaven.

The three yangs transformed into three benevolent Buddha heads, intending to convert all people in the world.

"Duh!"

Emperor Shaozhi roared, and the image of the ghost and god above his head also left his body, transforming into a majestic emperor whose size was comparable to that of Renshou Palace.

Then, with a turn of his body, he revealed the Buddha's appearance.

Seated on a white lotus platform, with three faces and eight arms, each holding a vajra, sword, prayer beads, token, and other magical implements, three sun discs hang behind his head: a blue sun, a white sun, and a red sun.

Emperor Shaozhi was promoted to the upper three ranks after he became emperor, so his divine title was the supreme and noble "Son of Heaven", while his ghostly title was "Bright King". One was a reward and the other a punishment.

His strongest battle form is a Ghost King from the White Lotus Sect lineage.

During the assassination attempt at Guishan Bookstore last time, he single-handedly fought against three opponents and killed many.

At this moment, he met the palm strike of Prince Guangze with the exact same [Wheel and Heaven Plate].

Bang!
The surging Daoist Qi boiled and boiled, and the blazing sun shone through the night sky. The entire sky rapidly switched between dawn, noon, and dusk. Being in Yujing City felt like experiencing spring, summer, autumn, and winter in an instant.

The hands of the clock at Renshou Palace, still caught in the aftershocks, were spinning rapidly.

The few mortal eunuchs closest to the two great demonic figures were miraculously not killed by the shock, but when they raised their arms, they were horrified to see loose skin and age spots.

He opened his mouth and screamed in surprise, only to find that his teeth had all loosened and fallen out. In just a short moment, he had aged beyond recognition.

Emperor Shaozhi's Mingwang Dharma Image also took two steps back. The physical body wrapped in the Dharma Image turned pale, and a strand of hair visibly turned snow-white.

They were clearly at a disadvantage.

As the [Bodhisattva of Ten Thousand Abodes] occupying the high ground of the White Lotus Dharma lineage, Prince Guangze was not one to back down and struck again with his palm:
"Twenty-four years have passed. Do you know how I survived?"

I originally intended to take the throne from you peacefully, but why are you so long-lived?
Throughout the history of the Great Zhao Dynasty, no emperor has reigned for a longer period than you. You have truly disappointed me!

I had to calculate everything, learn all the secret teachings of the White Lotus Sect, understand all your trump cards, and know all your habits. All my preparations were solely for killing you!
Shaozhi, you should feel honored that I've gone to such lengths to clean house.

Prince Guangze was practically mocking Guishan Bookstore for its lack of technical skill in its work.

He not only cultivated the body of the Three Worlds King who could restrain all the methods of the White Lotus Sect, but also gathered the three major official positions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism in the Heavenly Rank.

This is far more cautious and skillful than Lu Yunchen's approach of combining heaven, earth, and water.

In theory, he was the true patriarch of the Han clan of the Great Zhao Dynasty, one of the most prestigious figures in the dynastic system, and naturally met all the prerequisites for taking office in the highest rank.

Moreover, these three yang incarnations, one seventy-two years old, one forty-eight years old, and one twenty-four years old, each conform to the [Twenty-Four Solar Terms], and this year will be the time of their strongest life.

Even better, it seems like fate is on his side.

If the oldest avatar dies of old age, the other two avatars will also die, instead of continuing to live in their identities.

It is rare for someone to live to seventy, and how many people throughout history have actually lived to seventy-two?
Fortunately, a series of coincidences led Prince Guangze to have the opportunity to test the elixir of immortality that year, and he was determined to try it even at the cost of his life.

It was a success in the end.

The youngest of the Baiyang incarnations, Han Zaizhen, lent the three fires of fortune, prosperity, and longevity—which were beyond his predetermined destiny—to the Qingyang incarnation, allowing the dying Guangze Prince Han Qinyu to continue living, and perhaps even live forever.

In this way, the power of the [Vajrapani Manjushri Manjushri Body] can be maintained forever.

Even without the white hat, and without relying on half of the emperor's status, the three incarnations combined would still allow one to reach the second rank.

Seeing the Lord of the State's pale face, he roared, "Dragon Flower Dharma Assembly, Three Yang Calamity Transformation! Die—!"

The atmosphere above changed again, and a huge dragon-like tree rose up behind the Dharma image, casting down brilliant Dharma light that enveloped the entire Renshou Palace and a small part of the West Garden.

This is clearly no longer the temple and mandala of a fourth-rank official, but the Yin-Yang Dharma Realm of a second-rank living ghost or deity—[Dragon Flower Dharma Assembly, Three Yang Calamity Transformation].

The basic rules within one's own Dharma realm are all formulated by living ghosts and gods according to their own authority, and each Yin-Yang Dharma realm that integrates the dual power of ghost and god is unique.

However, the Prince of Guangze, who held the supreme lineage of the White Lotus Dharma, forcibly usurped the religious power from Emperor Shaozhi, the living Ming King.

Countless fervent shouts of believers echoed throughout the Dharma realm:
“When the three yangs return to Nirvana, Maitreya is born; when the two primordial forces overcome calamity, war breaks out.”

"The Dragon Flower Dharma Assembly, the Three Yang Calamity!" "Changing Heaven and Earth, Saving the Masses!"

Conversely, this suppressed Emperor Shaozhi's White Lotus Technique to its limit.

Prince Guangze embodies the spirit of a craftsman, dedicating his entire life to one thing, with all his plans geared towards this day. If this were applied to Yingzhou, it would be equivalent to "killing the emperor and becoming an immortal."

If you can calculate everything, you will be successful in everything you do.

Moreover, one of them had taken the elixir of immortality, while the other had not. They continuously clashed with the most powerful [Wheel Piercing Heavenly Disc]. Even though they suffered the same amount of damage, Emperor Shaozhi still suffered a great loss.

In his fifties, his hair and beard were already white, his back was hunched, and his skin was dull and lifeless.

If things continue like this, even if they don't die at the hands of the other party, they will eventually die of old age on their own before long.

Just like when the fourth brother killed his eldest nephew back then, most people stood by and watched.

At this time, the ministers learned that this was a power struggle between the main branch and the collateral branch. Coupled with the power of public opinion to destroy people's morale, the robe had an even greater effect on the already divided hearts of the people.

Even his closest cronies couldn't muster the will to help.

No one noticed that Emperor Shaozhi glanced at Lu Yunchen, a slight glint in his already somewhat cloudy eyes, as he touched the priceless Han Wudi [Golden Bronze Immortal Dew-Collecting Plate] hidden in his sleeve.

He hesitated for a moment before taking it out, then looked at everyone present, discerning something.

With victory seemingly within his grasp, Prince Han Qinyu of Guangze was so excited that his face showed a mixture of tears and laughter.

Over the years, he had accumulated too much resentment in his heart that was difficult to relieve. For the sake of his great cause, he could only lie in bed and listen to the lovemaking between the Prince Ao and his own concubines. His frustration was even greater than that of the Third Prince, Prince Yu.
"Shaozhi, do you know that I never intended to make a move at this time?"

Once I've stabilized my cultivation of life force, obtained the Consecutive, which has the 'Heart Flower' planted in your hand, wouldn't it be better to forge a will and quietly kill you under the cover of night?
However, I don't know which bastard secretly assassinated my son Han Wugui seven days ago, and I don't know what means he used to steal all of his dragon energy!

The lineage of my eldest son, Emperor Xiaokang, which had lasted for two hundred years, has now come to an end.

I barely made it through these seven days.

If we don't take action soon, the fate and dragon energy of our branch of people will soon be unable to support the orthodox destiny of the main lineage.

But it doesn't matter. Once I, no, once I become the immortal new ruler of the state, everything will no longer be a problem.

"I will definitely grind that traitor to dust!"

Wang Cheng, far away in Yingzhou, sneezed, never expecting that he could still get a piece of gossip even though he wasn't at the furnace opening site.

And they were inexplicably blamed for instigating the assassination attempt on the king.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Emperor Shaozhi retreated repeatedly, and was finally knocked away by the [Three Yang Calamity Transformation], which completely countered him. The Renshou Palace behind him, which had just been repaired, collapsed with a crash.

He became wrinkled and gray-haired, and was on the verge of death.

At this critical moment, none of the officials in the court could offer any help.

There was only one exception!

While others didn't know who killed Han Wugui, Lu Yunchen had already guessed it.

Moreover, he also knew that the assassin had not only killed the Prince of Guangze, but also left a great gift in the Prince's mansion (Chapter 311).

He squeezed the Five Thunder Talisman hidden in his sleeve.

"I really owe this person a huge favor."

Prince Han Qinyu of Guangze walked step by step toward Emperor Shaozhi, raised his palm, and made a mocking sound, like a cat toying with a mouse:
"What if I kill you in front of all the ministers?"

In this vast world, who can save you, and who can kill me? Hahaha.

Behind him, Lu Yunchen wanted to make a move, but found that under the influence of Yao Guangxiao's cassock, which said "Do not let me bear the name of killing my uncle," he had no way to directly harm this legitimate member of the Han family clan.

So, he used all his strength to throw the Five Thunder Talisman, which had almost no lethality and was only used as a "remote control switch," directly at Prince Guangze.

"You audacious traitor, I, Lu Yunchen, have come to kill you!"

Han Qinyu didn't take the thunder talisman, which wasn't even worth a tickle, seriously at all.

Grab it casually and crush it.

Snapped!
The first faint pop was barely perceptible to everyone.

But another earth-shattering explosion, which only reached the ears of the Prince of Guangze, followed closely behind.

Boom-! ! ! !
