Film and Television Daqing: Starting with the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Devouring Demon Art

“Not bad, not bad. Wait a moment, and I’ll show you the world I live in.”

Before Gongshu Chou could reply, Li Chengtian went to the corpse, kicked it, and asked the system in his mind:

"System, I have a feeling this corpse isn't ordinary!"

system:

"This is the world of Shrouding the Heavens, and the body of a minor god-king who died a thousand years ago."

Upon hearing the system's words, Li Chengtian was overjoyed, feeling as if he had been gently touched by a spring breeze.

"Hahahaha, this is truly a stroke of luck!"

A corpse with the body of a god-king—isn't that exactly what he needs right now?

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art is a technique that requires devouring various physiques to achieve a chaotic body. As long as he devours this corpse, he can completely get rid of his current mortal physique.

He was eager to devour this divine body, but then he remembered that he was in a small world, so he had to suppress his urge to devour it immediately.

He then silently said to the system, "System, send us out."

Then another wave of dizziness hit.

Li Chengtian suppressed his discomfort and led Gongshu Chou and the divine king's body back to the lakeside of the Imperial Study.

He took a deep breath, trying to clear his head, and then called out towards the direction of the imperial study, "Lan'er!"

Mingyue Xin had been waiting in the Imperial Study. Upon hearing Li Chengtian's call, a joyful smile immediately appeared on her face, as if she had heard heavenly music.

She walked quickly to the lakeside and, upon seeing Gongshu Chou and the divine king's body on the ground, couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

But knowing her place, she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she walked straight to Li Chengtian, bowed, and said:

"Your Majesty, you're back."

Li Chengtian pointed to Gongshu Chou and introduced him to Mingyue Xin:

"Lan'er, this is Gongshu Chou. From today onwards, he will be in charge of the Ministry of Industry's ordnance manufacturing in Daqing."

"Take him to see Han Diaosi and tell him that from now on, Gongshu Chou and Ye'er will jointly be in charge of the Ministry of Works' military equipment affairs."

Then, he turned to Gongshu Chou and said:

"From now on, you must do your best to build more and better siege weapons for Daqing, understand?"

Gongshu Chou nodded quickly, indicating his willingness to serve and promising to do his utmost to create the most advanced and powerful weaponry for Daqing.

Gongshu Chou was then taken away by Mingyue Xin.

After the two left, Li Chengtian went to the lakeside, picked up the divine king's body from the ground, and floated it on the lake surface.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengtian began to devour and refine this Divine King Body.

As the demonic energy enveloped Li Chengtian's body, he could feel his body undergoing wondrous changes.

His skin gradually hardened like iron, and his muscle lines became more and more defined, as if containing endless power.

Li Chengtian was overjoyed; he had never imagined that absorbing the Divine King's Body would have such a miraculous effect.

He originally thought he was strong enough, but now it seems there is still greater room for improvement waiting for him to explore.

He dared not hesitate, fearing he would miss this rare opportunity, so he immediately closed his eyes and concentrated on devouring and refining the substance.

As time passed, Li Chengtian's aura grew stronger, emanating a chilling pressure.

Inside the Northern Qi imperial palace, on a dark and windy night, it was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

In this atmosphere, a figure moved through the palace like a ghost.

He was Shen Zhong, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

At this moment, Shen Zhong arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace with a solemn expression.

Upon seeing him, the guards immediately and respectfully opened the palace gates.

After entering the palace, the Empress Dowager sat down in front of the couch, her face grim as she looked at Shen Zhong and said in an unpleasant tone:

"Commander Shen, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

Shen Zhong dared not look up at the Empress Dowager, knowing she was in a bad mood, but he still mustered his courage and answered firmly:

"Your Majesty, I have just learned that the Emperor of Nanqing has passed away."

Upon hearing this news, the Empress Dowager's expression turned extremely surprised, even shocked.

Her eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief crossed her face.

"What! The Emperor Qing has actually passed away?"

The Empress Dowager's voice was filled with astonishment and confusion.

Shen Zhong nodded quickly, confirming the authenticity of the news.

Upon hearing Shen Zhong's words, the Empress Dowager felt a complex mix of emotions. She recalled the past grievances between Northern Qi and Southern Qing, and couldn't help but feel a surge of pleasure.

"It's good that you've passed away!" the Empress Dowager murmured to herself.

However, she quickly regained her composure, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"But I remember that Emperor Qing was always in good health, so why did he suddenly pass away?" the Empress Dowager asked, frowning.

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's question, Shen Zhong immediately replied:

"According to the information I have received, Emperor Qing killed the Crown Prince during the grand court assembly. When the Empress learned of the Crown Prince's death, she stabbed Emperor Qing while he was off guard, which led to his death."

Upon hearing Shen Zhong's reply, the Empress Dowager immediately retorted:

"Impossible! How could something so bizarre happen?" Her face was full of shock and confusion; she clearly couldn't accept this explanation.

Shen Zhong said with a serious expression:

"This is what I wanted to say to the Empress Dowager."

"As I delve deeper into my investigation, I discover that Emperor Qing was not killed by the Empress's sneak attack, but was assassinated in a coup!" His voice was firm and unquestionable.

"coup?!!!"

The Empress Dowager seemed to have been struck by lightning.

She stared wide-eyed at Shen Zhong in disbelief.

"Exactly."

Shen Zhong continued, "Although this matter is kept secret, our Embroidered Uniform Guard's spies have still managed to uncover some clues."

A hint of smugness lingered in his eyes, suggesting he was brimming with confidence in his intelligence capabilities.

"Not long ago, Emperor Qing's second son, Prince Qin, Li Chengtian, together with Prime Minister Lin Ruopu, Director of the Censorate Chen Pingping, Minister of War Zheng Qiankun, Commander of the 100,000-strong garrison in the capital Ye Zhong, Vice Minister of Revenue Fan Jian who commanded 20,000 Red Armor Army, Princess Li Yunrui, Third Prince Li Chengze, and Grand Master of the Imperial Palace Hong Siyang, launched a palace coup. They killed the Crown Prince in front of Emperor Qing, seriously injured Emperor Qing, and seized the throne."

Shen Zhong rattled off these astonishing facts in one breath, leaving the Empress Dowager speechless.

"In this coup, Prince Qin, Li Chengtian, demonstrated extremely terrifying strength. At the same time, he also exposed some secrets."

"It turns out that the Qing Kingdom has two hidden Grandmasters. In addition to Hong Siyang, Emperor Qing himself is also a Grandmaster."

Shen Zhong said with a solemn expression:

"However, even though Emperor Qing possessed the strength of a Grandmaster, he was still seriously injured by a sneak attack from Grandmaster Hong Siyang before Li Chengtian could even make a move!"

“In this coup, Li Chengtian not only killed Emperor Qing, but also slaughtered the Empress’s residence in Kunning Palace and the Crown Prince’s Eastern Palace,” Shen Zhong continued, his tone heavy and firm.

Upon hearing this news, the Empress Dowager felt a chill run down her spine.

The scheming and methods of this new emperor of Nanqing are truly terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.

"Li Chengtian was able to completely sideline Emperor Qing right under his nose, which shows how terrifyingly cunning this new emperor of Southern Qing is."

After Shen Zhong finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

The Empress Dowager was dumbfounded, her face filled with shock.

Her pupils dilated, and cold sweat poured down her forehead, as if she saw a terrifying future in those heavy words.

After a long while, the Empress Dowager finally came to her senses and asked in a trembling voice:

"Now that you mention it, this new emperor of Nanqing is far more terrifying than Emperor Qing?"

Shen nodded and said:

"That's right. This new emperor of Nanqing is cunning and ruthless. He even schemed against Emperor Qing."

This person is ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than Emperor Qing. We in Northern Qi must be extremely careful, or the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Empress Dowager of Qi muttered to herself in shock, "Killing Emperor Qing, killing the Empress, and then killing the Crown Prince—this man's heart is truly ruthless."

Her voice echoed in the empty hall, each word filled with chill and astonishment.

Her gaze was fixed ahead, as if she were seeing the newly enthroned emperor through the void, and an indescribable fear welled up in her heart.

The ruthlessness of this new emperor sent a chill down the Empress Dowager's spine. She pondered to herself:

"This person's heart is so cold, it's colder than an ice blade in the dead of winter, it's chilling."

Although Emperor Qing was equally ruthless, he was still slightly inferior to Li Chengtian.

After all, while the struggles between royal families are brutal, they are usually driven by the ruthless pursuit of power, with some even resorting to murdering their own siblings.
