If you're made a fake emperor, why did you change the country's name?

After lunch, Zhao Yu did not linger in the study.

Riding in the dragon-drawn carriage, they made their grand and imposing journey towards the Sutra Repository.

Before long, the dragon carriage slowly came to a stop in front of an ancient and magnificent seven-story tower.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the Library."

Li Fu'an's high-pitched voice rang out.

Before he finished speaking, several eunuchs who were guarding the entrance to the pavilion rushed over and knelt down in unison.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yu lifted the curtain, stepped down from the imperial carriage, and calmly swept his gaze over the crowd.

"Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The eunuchs stood up tremblingly, stood with their hands at their sides, and didn't dare to even breathe loudly.

At this moment, an old eunuch with white hair and beard and a hunched back stepped out from the procession and bowed to Zhao Yu.

"Your Majesty, why have you come in person?"

Zhao Yu glanced at him, his eyes indifferent.

"Why, can't I come?"

Upon hearing this, the old eunuch trembled and immediately knelt down.

"This servant deserves to die! This servant didn't mean that!"

At this moment, another eunuch stepped out from the procession. He had a pockmarked face and a fawning expression.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei was too tired to refuse the Emperor's favor and had been preparing the cultivation manual for you overnight to send over. That's why he was talking nonsense."

"His Majesty's presence is a blessing we servants have accumulated over eight lifetimes; we are overjoyed!"

Sending you cultivation techniques?

Zhao Yu frowned and looked at the little eunuch.

"When was the cultivation manual sent over?"

The young eunuch answered without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, it was sent over early this morning."

This morning?

Zhao Yu's eyes turned cold.

Just as he expected.

That was during the morning court session, and also the time when Zhao Yu fled the palace.

It seems the good techniques have been taken away.

I can only hope that the cultivation method I want is still available.

Zhao Yu looked at the little eunuch again.

"So, there aren't any good cultivation techniques left in this library?"

The young eunuch was taken aback upon hearing this, and then quickly waved his hand.

"Your Majesty is joking. Any one of the martial arts manuals collected in the pavilion would be enough to cause a bloodbath in the martial arts world."

However, compared to the books you personally selected, they are indeed considerably inferior.

After glancing at the young eunuch, Zhao Yu said nothing more and walked into the Sutra Repository.

Li Fu'an followed closely behind, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips.

The Sutra Repository has seven floors, and the higher the floor, the more precious the martial arts manuals stored there are.

Zhao Yu did not linger on the lower floors, but went straight to the seventh floor.

However, when he stepped onto the seventh floor, the scene before him still surprised him somewhat.

The huge seventh floor was completely empty, with only a few of Lin Xing's books remaining.

Zhao Yu slowly turned around and looked directly at Li Fu'an behind him.

"Eunuch Li, please explain to me what's going on."

After Li Fu'an looked around and confirmed that there were no outsiders, the respect on his face vanished instantly, and he looked at Zhao Yu with contempt.

"Kid, you really think you're the emperor?"

"With your status, being able to cultivate even these remaining few books is a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes. Why are you being so picky?"

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Eunuch Li, we have an agreement."

"An agreement? Hahaha."

Li Fu'an seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Our family agreed to let you practice martial arts, but we didn't say what kind of martial arts you should practice."

What is cultivation all about? Isn't it all cultivation?

In our opinion, someone like you is only fit to practice the first level of the techniques.

Zhao Yu looked at the smug Li Fu'an and made a mental note of it.

Old dog, if I weren't outmatched by you, I would have beaten you to death!

The reason he came to this library was to find the cultivation method that dog emperor practiced.

Only by practicing the same techniques can one imitate the opponent to the greatest extent, gain an extra trump card to deceive others, and at the same time gain the ability to protect oneself.

But now, the plan has been half abandoned.

Zhao Yu took a light breath.

It's not the right time to turn against Li Fu'an yet.

It seems we have no choice but to settle for second best.

"Alright then, I'll trouble you, Eunuch Li, to tell me about the martial arts realms, and also, what kind of techniques are left on this bookshelf?"

With a victorious smile on his face, Li Fu'an slowly stepped forward and picked up a secret manual.

"The path of martial arts is divided into five realms: Acquired, Innate, Grandmaster, Celestial, and the legendary Land Immortal."

Those who master body training can lift a thousand pounds and gain physical strength several times greater than ordinary people.

By cultivating innate Qi and developing internal strength, one can split stone tablets and leap across rooftops.

At the Grandmaster level, one's inner strength can be released outwards, and even a plucked leaf or a flying flower can injure someone. Killing someone from a hundred paces away is as easy as drinking water or eating.

As for the Celestial Realm…”

A hint of longing flashed in the old eunuch's eyes. "They are even more like gods, able to take the head of a general from among ten thousand troops as easily as taking something out of a bag."

My humble servant is only half a step into the realm of celestial beings.

Although I am only a half-step Celestial Realm cultivator, ordinary Celestial Realm cultivators in the martial world are really no match for me.

"I'm not bragging, but even within this entire palace, there are fewer than a handful of people I can consider my opponents."

Zhao Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

This old eunuch is actually a half-step Celestial Realm expert!

He calmly continued, "And what about the terrestrial immortals?"

Upon hearing this, the old eunuch chuckled, his tone filled with disdain.

"Kid, you haven't even touched the threshold of the Acquired Realm yet, and you're already dreaming of becoming a terrestrial immortal? Stop dreaming."

After saying that, he seemed too lazy to waste any more words and casually tossed the manual in his hand to Zhao Yu.

"Don't waste your time. You've long missed the golden age for cultivation. At best, you'll only reach the Innate Realm in this lifetime..."

"Oh, I almost forgot. You only have a few days left to live. If you can even reach the Acquired Realm, your ancestors' graves will be incredibly lucky."
