Chapter 12 Blood Flame Realm
Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle.
On the seventh day of the third month in the twenty-fourth year of Tianwu, spring was in full bloom. In the library, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, and a strange fragrance filled the courtyard. Su Chen stood quietly in a black robe, holding a scroll.
"This is my first spring since I traveled through time."
Su Chen was a little dazed.
In the twenty-third year of Tianwu, the old emperor was assassinated. At the end of July, he traveled through time and experienced the palace turmoil.
now.
It’s been almost a year.
The seed of immortality in his body was still in the embryonic form of a root, swaying slightly without wind, without any change. Su Chen was stuck at the perfection of the fifth level of internal energy.
Obviously, there was still not enough time and the Seed of Immortality could not continue to grow.
Fortunately, the thing he has the most is time.
"Is Master Su here?"
Outside the library, a young eunuch in a green robe was looking at Su Chen in awe.
When Zhang Gui achieves enlightenment, all his family members will prosper.
Although Xu Xiaohan was cautious and waited on Su Chen, he could not be said to be able to call the shots in the harem, but he was still a well-known figure.
His talent was also strong. He had taken a lot of secret medicines given by Zhang Gui, and last month he was forcibly promoted to the fourth level, thus firmly securing his position as the Blue Robe Manager.
The little eunuch outside the yard is Xu Xiaohan’s godson.
"The pass token to the Wu Pavilion has been retrieved."
"Master Su, when are you free?"
The young eunuch in green robe asked.
In the harem, clothes represent status, but Su Chen is the only one who is so respectful to a black eunuch in a green robe.
Wuge is the real important place in the palace.
The library contains common classics.
The Wu Pavilion, which is about cultivation methods and even mysterious techniques, is of utmost importance and has always been guarded personally by the Palace Chief Eunuch, the second chief eunuch in red robes.
Even though Zhang Gui was a third-grade cultivator and held the power as the general manager of the Martial Arts Bureau, he still had to give up a lot of interests and spent a long time in order to get Su Chenmou the martial arts pass.
"I am the only idle person in this palace. Go now."
There are countless palaces in the imperial palace, numerous attics, as well as rockery and stone forests, which are extremely beautiful.
Keep going.
When passing by a palace, Su Chen stopped slightly. It was extremely quiet here, but there were also sounds of a shrew yelling and cursing.
Qingfeng Palace
The cold palace of concubines.
"My son will be the emperor soon, and when he does, I will kill all of you."
"killed!"
"Kill you all."
A woman dressed in coarse cloth, not even as pretty as a palace maid, with dishevelled hair and a mad look, was pinned to the ground by several eunuchs in green robes and continuously beaten with a thick sweat towel soaked in salt water.
This beautiful woman was about thirty years old. Even with her disheveled hair and a crazy look, she was still extremely beautiful. Su Chen naturally knew her.
"Liang Guifei, who was once the most beautiful concubine in the harem and was known as the No. 1 Concubine, has ended up in such a miserable situation."
When she was at the peak of her power, a single word from Concubine Liang could shake the government and the country.
pity.
With the death of the old emperor and the fifth prince, and the purge of the court by the First Purple Robe Supervisor, the current Concubine Liang has long since turned into a crazy woman who is bullied by everyone in the harem.
Su Chen left.
The world changes. We see tall buildings rising into the sky, time passing like a song, and in the blink of an eye, the buildings collapse and the ground sinks, leaving only ruins.
The Martial Arts Pavilion is majestic, with nine floors as high as each one. Each floor is ten feet high, like Su Chen's library. It is nearly a hundred feet high, more than three hundred meters high. This Martial Arts Pavilion is like a sharp sword piercing the sky, containing Daliang's three hundred years of cultivation experience.
"Are you Zhang Gui's sworn brother?"
The eunuch in charge of the Wu Pavilion, who was nearly fifty years old and had half black and half white hair, looked at Su Chen with interest. After a while, he shook his head and sighed.
"Without blood and spirit, it seems that you are really a mortal. I really don't know why Zhang Gui spent so much to get this token for you..."
"You are seventeen years old, and you still can't enter the door of cultivation. This is the end of your life."
"You can read all the classics on the first three floors. Above the third floor, the cultivation classics are related to the third-grade, second-grade, first-grade, and even the legendary Grandmasters. You cannot set foot on them..."
Done.
The deputy general manager of the Wu Pavilion waved his hand and let him go.
Su Chen entered the Wu Pavilion alone.
"strangeness."
"My whole body is full of energy and blood, which is seven times the level of the fifth-grade perfection of the martial arts prodigy. It's ok that the other party can't see the immortality true energy, but why can't he even see my fifth-grade flesh and blood perfection?"
Su Chen did not hide it deliberately.
This is not the first time.
If he didn't take action, others would think he was an ordinary mortal with no spiritual practice, as if there was a layer of hiding means on his body that concealed everything he had.
"But this is fine."
Stepping into the Wu Pavilion, there were countless books, suspended in stone boxes in mid-air, shining like stars in the night sky. "What do you want?"
The eunuch in charge of the Wu Pavilion, dressed in a red robe and with gray hair like rotten wood, sat cross-legged in the center with his eyes closed as if he could not open them.
Su Chen didn't dare to underestimate this man.
The first eunuch in red robes in the Imperial Palace.
The pinnacle of the second rank, or even the first rank in the past.
In the eunuch system, the first person under the Purple Robe First Eunuch, even the Purple Robe First Eunuch who is like the emperor, has to give this old eunuch some face.
But Su Chen knew very well.
This old eunuch is dying.
Different from the purple-robed First Supervisor who pretended to be dying that night, the red-robed First Chief Steward had not much time left in his body. In his eyes, this person's life was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.
“Don’t seek the Dharma, just look around.”
"I have finished reading the classics in the library, so I'm going to take a look at the cultivation classics in the martial arts pavilion."
Say it.
Su Chen started flipping through the classics.
The red-robed chief steward did not speak again, as if he was asleep.
In the following half month, Su Chen had nothing to do, so he hung the Wu Pavilion pass token on his waist and came to the Wu Pavilion to read the classics. However, Su Chen was not very interested in those cultivation methods and killing skills.
After all, no matter how powerful the cultivation methods of the first three levels are, they can never compare to the top-level cultivation methods, or even the Grandmaster's "Six-foot Golden Body Technique"...
No matter how powerful the killing skills are, how can they resist the absolute power of a punch with ten times the perfect blood and energy of a martial arts prodigy.
"interesting."
"Is there such a demon in this world?"
"The demon repays his kindness by tying a grass ring in his hand. How interesting."
In the martial arts pavilion, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the wonderful thing.
In this world, at least within the territory of Daliang, there are many monsters. Monsters are lurking between cities. Only practitioners can pass through. Mortals will die if they encounter them.
No matter it is the path of Qi or the path of body, without secret methods and precious medicines, even if one is as strong as the top grade and has the title of minor grandmaster, one will still only have a lifespan of a hundred years, or even less than a hundred years.
Those demons have even shorter lifespans. In order to live longer, the demons have to eat more people, eat cultivators, and swallow the human spiritual energy that only humans possess, so that they can slowly increase their limited lifespans.
Those demons that have lived for more than a hundred years are, without exception, powerful demons of the second or even first rank, and have eaten at least tens of thousands of people.
"You came to this martial arts pavilion just to read some idle books?"
"Do you know how valuable this Wu Pavilion pass token is?"
The deputy general manager of the Wu Pavilion looked at Su Chen in disbelief, his face twitching.
and.
What surprised him even more was.
Even people with low talent for cultivation, after reading so many cultivation classics, should be able to gain some insights, and be able to absorb the Qi of heaven and earth, or give birth to their own Qi and embark on the path of Qi, or cause their own blood to boil and embark on the path of body.
But Su Chen, after half a month, had no reaction at all, as if...
"It's like I have no talent for cultivation at all. What a waste of a token."
Su Chen said this with a smile, and then returned the Wu Pavilion's token.
That’s about it for the first three floors.
The token has expired and is no longer needed.
"He is just a piece of trash. He just got lucky and became Zhang Zongguan's sworn brother. It's also because Zhang Zongguan is loyal. If it were me, I would have taught this kind of trash a lesson and kept him away from me."
The deputy general manager of the Wu Pavilion spoke with contempt.
however.
"Mr. Chu..." He raised his head and immediately became submissive. He trotted over to serve the red-robed chief steward.
This white-haired, red-robed First Steward, who looked like a rotten wood and was about to wither, stared at Su Chen at this moment and uttered some shocking words.
"The energy is like a dragon, the blood is like a tiger, the body is like a furnace, the blood flames of dragons and tigers..."
"Isn't this the fifth level of flesh and blood realm that only exists in legends?"
"wrong."
"Am I wrong?"
The red-robed chief steward rubbed his eyes, only to find that the blood-flaming dragon and tiger shadows that soared into the sky that he had just seen were just an illusion in his half-dreamed dream.
The little eunuch in front of him had a plain aura and was nothing special. He was just one of the countless mediocre people in Daliang.
"He is only a mortal."
"Mr. Chu."
"You must have seen it wrong."
"He is just an ordinary eunuch who is lucky enough to have Zhang Gui remember their old friendship."
"If it weren't for Zhang Gui, I wouldn't even look at a little eunuch like him."
The deputy manager spoke slowly.
On this day, Su Chen read through all the classics on the third level of Daliang Wu Pavilion, and gained some insights. He finally crossed that threshold and reached the fifth level of perfection. His energy and blood surged like a dragon or a tiger, and his blood boiled all over his body, burning like flames.
Fifth level perfection, ten times the energy and blood of a martial arts prodigy!
Like the Grandmaster, the Blood Flame Realm only exists in ancient legends!
