#424 - Chapter 423: Changes
After narrowly escaping danger, the three of them, filled with anxiety, found a safe place to settle down.
Nine Treasures, standing behind Chu Tianran, couldn't help but smile: "Your strength isn't simple. That One into Three Thousand technique consumes a lot of spiritual energy, but your spiritual energy seems very special, many times more pure than other cultivators. Is it because of the cultivation method you practice?"
Chu Tianran nodded slightly, a hint of shock in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that after entering the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, my strength would increase so terrifyingly. I can kill ordinary Dao Extremes, but I'm still far from a Great Emperor Dao Extreme."
"It is said that they are beings who have mastered a Great Dao and then use it to achieve the position of Great Emperor. Their strength is unfathomable and extremely difficult to estimate. Even if we are in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, even if we reach the peak of the Dao Extreme, we would be killed if we encountered an early-stage Great Emperor Dao Extreme."
Zhao Ling'er looked at Duo Bao curiously.
"Where did the methods you have come from? No wonder I said you weren't flustered and were still smiling."
Otherwise, Duo Bao would have panicked long ago. Moreover, Duo Bao can predict short-term future events, but just now, it seemed that he distorted time, reducing the time?
"I don't know."
Duo Bao scratched his head.
"It seems to be brought about by the Buddhist teachings in me. When I dream, I can return to my past, and it seems I can also see my future. Then, as soon as I wake up, I can't see much about the future. Moreover, cultivating Buddhism to this realm can also use that technique to delay the river of time."
"I see..."
Chu Tianran nodded, but at this moment, his extremely depleted body was already unable to continue. At this moment, he just took a deep breath.
"Heal first, heal first. Speaking of which, Duo Bao's methods of increasing strength also seem not simple..."
"Hehe, directly increase by one realm, and even without limiting the improvement of the Great Realm. If you can enter the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon, then the improvement is the peak of the Dao Extreme. It seems that any realm is like this. Maybe I'm just suitable to watch from the sidelines?"
The more he cultivated, the more he could feel the power of this existence. If it really doesn't limit the improvement of the realm, then Duo Bao's existence is definitely more terrifying than theirs.
Zhao Ling'er quickly picked up the weak Chu Tianran and opened up a cave to heal him.
"What you did today was a bit reckless. A dozen Dao Extremes, if it were someone else, they would have fallen long ago."
"But I am not someone else."
A sharp look gradually appeared in Chu Tianran's eyes.
"I am never someone else. I am the Crown Prince of the Dynasty, possessing supreme bloodline. What if their realm is higher than mine? I can't always let the two of you take action every time."
Zhao Ling'er had nothing to say, nodded, and continued to help Chu Tianran heal.
After the injuries stabilized, the two of them sat down to cultivate, and it took nearly three days to recover.
Duo Bao happened to come back. He had gone to many counties to save the dead souls. At this moment, there was no joy or sorrow on his face. Saving the dead souls can allow them to be reborn into reincarnation sooner, but I don't know why, Duo Bao felt that these people seemed to die happily...
But death is the greatest thing, and he couldn't say anything, just told Chu Tianran about this matter and asked about his doubts.
Hearing this, Chu Tianran also felt strange.
It seems that after the people of the world die, their bodies will show a smile after not too long, which is very strange, making it difficult not to think about what kind of tragic treatment those dead souls have experienced after death.
It's good to have Duo Bao save them.
"The world is in chaos, the countries are in dispute, and now the deaths and injuries have exceeded hundreds of millions of lives. They once had their own homes, their own families and ideals, but now, they have all died..."
He took a deep breath.
"If I were a Great Emperor Dao Extreme, I would be able to do so much more than I can now, but I'm not. I was nine years old before I could cultivate..."
Zhao Ling'er gently stroked Chu Tianran's head and said lightly: "The affairs of the world are not up to you. If you hinder yourself and stop moving forward, these dead souls will have truly died in vain. You once said that before the Great Qian Dynasty, after the cultivators caused chaos, they could not be suppressed, and millions of people died at every turn. The number of lives lost in the wars of mutual annexation between several countries was also too large to count."
"Since you don't want to see these things, why not continue to cultivate, first enter the peak realm, and then find an opportunity to unify the dynasty and the world."
Chu Tianran nodded, and a firm look reappeared in his eyes.
"In these three months, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been caught long ago. Within half a month, I can enter the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. The two of you will help me guard the formation."
Hearing this, Zhao Ling'er suddenly looked at Duo Bao.
"We two are going to retreat and cultivate. If you have nothing to do, help watch outside."
Duo Bao looked blank.
"Together, take me with you. How did you cultivate so fast? Why am I..."
"Get lost, don't force me to slap you!"
Only then did Duo Bao reluctantly go out.
You just don't want to tell me, right?
But it seems that he can't use it even if he has it. The peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm is already unable to improve the realm. He can only continue to precipitate. If he wants to go up, there is no way, and the Ascension Gate has been closed.
I don't know when I will be able to break through.
Inside the cave, Zhao Ling'er took out a dual cultivation technique she had obtained before, which came from killing a Joyous Union Sect cultivator.
"You and I are practicing the same origin of cultivation techniques. You first read this technique. You and I will practice together. My cultivation realm is higher than yours, which will be of some benefit to your cultivation."
Chu Tianran's face flushed slightly, and he took the technique.
"That... how many days will this cultivation take..."
"Whenever you reach the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it will stop. In three months, you have stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm from the Seventh Realm, which is already very difficult. It is also a very fast thing to step into the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon."
After saying that, Zhao Ling'er directly took out a big bed from the storage ring and slowly took off her clothes. Chu Tianran followed closely behind. His divine sense scanned the technique, and he remembered it in an instant. The quality of the technique is not high, but the quality of dual cultivation techniques is not very high. The main thing is to look at the cultivation and realm of the two people in dual cultivation.
Soon, the spiritual energy of the two of them merged.
"Don't think too much, operate the technique..."
"Ling'er, it's hard not to think too much."
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's always not very good things..."
"Then you can change your thinking. I am yours. You can have it whenever you want, as long as it's safe. You don't need to focus on this, but on cultivation."
Chu Tianran did as he was told thoughtfully and found that it worked very quickly.
"Since that's the case, cultivate as soon as possible..."
"Break through to the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm as soon as possible."
.......
A few days passed, and there was no other movement in the cave.
Duo Bao was no longer surprised. It's okay, in two days, Chu Tianran's cultivation will be able to jump up directly. He cultivates really too fast.
But it seems that his cultivation is also very fast?
Just as Duo Bao was observing the ants moving house not far outside the cave, a figure suddenly appeared.
A burly old man with graying temples suddenly appeared in front of Duo Bao.
"Where is the Crown Prince?"
Duo Bao raised his head, saw the long knife worn on the old man's waist, and grinned.
"Are you a good person or a bad person?"
"I'm asking you, where is the Crown Prince?"
"How do you know that I know where the Crown Prince is?"
"Little monk, I don't want to talk too much with you."
Fang Houren said expressionlessly and said lightly: "I saw you a few days ago, and I left with the Crown Prince and others. I can deduce it."
"In the past few days, I have memorized your spiritual energy, divided and analyzed it, and then followed your location. Although you are very careful in hiding your spiritual energy, I can see the places you have saved along the way, so you are the Crown Prince's man."
"I, Fang Houren of the Great Qian Dynasty, you may not have heard of me, but as long as you see the Crown Prince, you will know everything."
Duo Bao smiled.
"Great Emperor Dao Extreme cultivation, is the Crown Prince someone you can see whenever you want?"
"Take out the evidence, maybe I can believe you, and I have never heard the Crown Prince mention your name."
"In that case, I am now rushing to find the Crown Prince, so I can only offend you."
The old man's hands suddenly grabbed, but suddenly found that the figure in front of him appeared behind him, suddenly came back to his senses, his face was strange, and he couldn't understand it at all!
What means, how could his speed be so fast!
He shot again, but every time it was only a moment away, he was dodged.
Fang Houren's face gradually darkened.
"You are playing with me, tell me where the Crown Prince is!"
"You are angry, because you are eager to find the whereabouts of the Crown Prince, because if you can't find it, you may run into trouble."
"The Crown Prince has not mentioned you, with me here, you will definitely not be able to find the Crown Prince, I advise you to find someone who knows you to introduce you or something?"
"Where the hell am I going to find someone! Do you know where the Crown Prince is?!"
"Amitabha, benefactor, be careful, be careful."
Duo Bao can't hurt the old man in front of him, but the old man in front of him definitely don't want to hurt him.
What if he is a Great Emperor Dao Extreme, he can delay the means of the river of time, unless the other party can control the river of time, the large-scale consumption is great, but he can use it several times, the small-scale, almost does not count as any consumption.
Unless he wants to die himself.
Fang Houren had no choice but to take out a dragon qi jade pendant, but he couldn't deduce it.
That means it's not here?
"Kid, take this sound transmission token. Since you have methods that even I can't hurt, you probably aren't afraid of holding this sound transmission token!"
"I've been searching for the Crown Prince for three months. If I can find someone who can prove my identity and bring them to see you, then take me to find the Crown Prince!"
"Alright."
"Then tell me, who should I look for? Did the Crown Prince mention anyone to you?"
Duo Bao smiled slightly, remaining silent.
Are you stupid? If I tell you, wouldn't that cause trouble for that person?
Since you know the Crown Prince and have a close relationship with him, shouldn't you go find him yourself?
"Damn it!"
The old man cursed and left immediately!
This world is so big, where am I supposed to look!
Many people have seen the Crown Prince, but few have any real connection with him. Grand Secretary Qiu Zun of the Inner Cabinet died long ago, and that Chu Ning isn't fit to be an emperor either, even driving away those people from the Taixu Holy Land in the end. What a moron!
If the Taixu Holy Land were here, many problems could be solved, but the Taixu Holy Land ascended long ago!
So where should I go now? Who should I look for? The old man himself doesn't know. The only possibility is Xiao Bing, but who knows if Xiao Bing has been captured.
Regardless, I'll first go to the imperial city of the Daqian Dynasty to see if I can find any acquaintances.
In fact, the cave behind Duo Bao is where Chu Tianran and his wife are cultivating in seclusion.
But Duo Bao has hidden its aura, and ordinary people can't even find him. But that person seems extraordinary and has found clues.
In this case, I need to be even more secretive. I don't have any methods to kill people, only to escape. That's a Dao Extremity of the Great Emperor. I can run, but Chu Tianran and his wife will be in trouble.
I can only hope they break through soon.
Inside the cave, the two have been cultivating together, and their cultivation levels are constantly improving.
However, Zhao Ling'er's realm is limited to the peak of the Heavenly Elephant Realm, so the greater beneficiary is Chu Tianran.
"I seem to be able to make the cultivation technique operate on its own now, so I can spare some attention to look at you."
"Mm."
Zhao Ling'er's face was slightly red, and she didn't say much. At this moment, she was just carefully experiencing the cultivation and the pleasure it brought.
Now they are truly husband and wife, but some things still need to be avoided, after all, there are really a lot of troubles facing them now.
It wasn't until Chu Tianran broke through to the peak of the Heavenly Elephant Realm that the two stopped to stabilize their cultivation.
Three more days passed, and their cultivation was completely stabilized.
Leaving the cave, Duo Bao was playing with ants not far away. Noticing the two, Duo Bao looked over with some confusion.
"You two are both yellow, what color is that..."
The two were both stunned, but they smiled at each other.
"Has anything happened recently?"
"An old man named Fang Houren came by, saying he was here to find you. He started fighting without saying a word. This person is very cunning."
"Fang Houren?"
Chu Tianran thought for a while, and Zhao Ling'er also looked puzzled.
"What's wrong? Do you know him?"
"I don't really know him, I don't have much of an impression. But there was an old man in the dynasty named Fang Houren, but that was many years ago, and I don't know where he went. Moreover, I haven't heard my parents mention this person in recent years."
"If that's the case, then if he wasn't mentioned, we can't necessarily trust him."
Duo Bao had already investigated.
"Go five thousand miles south, that's Xiang Wang's territory. This person's strength is unfathomable and is one of the few who doesn't have a hereditary title."
"We can go there first. If there really is a chance, then we can communicate with him in our true form, what do you think?"
"Duo Bao, it's really a hassle to have you investigate."
"Hehe, there's no need to be so polite. Wouldn't I have my current achievements if you hadn't studied the Buddhist scriptures for me..."
Dusk, inside a not-so-grand city.
Several people are looking at everything in front of them.
"Isn't it a bit too much to have so many people die for the Crown Prince's trial?"
"Hehe, there's no need to worry."
The Tongtian Sect Leader said indifferently, and then casually condensed an image, which was the grand scene of Kunlun Mountain seen through the myriad worlds.
Countless cities stood tall, and countless people lived there, all with cultivation.
"What the Emperor is planning is to have the entire Tianxuan Continent ascend to the heavens. The human race in the God Realm is weak and needs to inject some fresh blood. To put it bluntly, when one person attains the Dao, all his pets ascend to heaven."
Tao Hong understood, but Xiao Bing was a little puzzled.
Speaking of Fang Lao, why is he always running around lately?
It's not easy to find a place to run into him. I was going to come over, and then he found the Crown Prince.
Chu Tianran didn't know about Fang Houren's existence. If he wanted to pass smoothly, he still had to intercept him.
Xiao Bing quickly explained this to the Tongtian Sect Leader, who pondered slightly.
"Ah, a solution, there is one."
Directly isolating the investigation of others, a ray of dazzling dragon energy soared into the sky!
Fang Houren, who was rushing to the capital, instantly noticed!
Dragon energy!
Not the Emperor, not His Majesty, they have all been taken away, so isn't that the Crown Prince!
Coming immediately, he successfully met with Xiao Bing and others!
"It's you, Xiao Bing!"
"You're actually here. Didn't that hateful Niu Xiaoma take you away too!"
"Hahaha! It's actually Xiao Bing!"
The old man was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward. Seeing Xiao Bing, his excitement was overflowing!
Seeing Xiao Bing is the happiest thing right now!
After all, that Duo Bao must know where the Crown Prince is. With Xiao Bing, it naturally means finding the Crown Prince, and he has already left a sound transmission token.
But these two people...
"Fang Lao, I didn't expect to see you here!"
Fang Houren was also kept in the dark, but that didn't really make much of a difference.
He had to pretend to be shocked.
Fang Houren sighed at this moment.
"Before, I saw a bald-headed monk in a city, and then I investigated this person and found that this person must have some relationship with the Crown Prince."
"I don't know if you have seen the Crown Prince recently, but the Crown Prince must have seen you, he must know you. I only went back once when the Crown Prince was born, so perhaps the Crown Prince doesn't recognize me at all."
"Now that you are here, it should be much easier!"
"I saw the Emperor and the Emperor sending the Crown Prince away that year and asked me to follow him for three years before returning to the capital. I never thought that some things would happen some time ago, and the Crown Prince left here. I followed this Daoist Priest here."
At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader looked at the old man in front of him and nodded slightly.
"Speaking of which, this poor Daoist also has some connection with the Crown Prince. I once suffered some academic matters from the Crown Prince, and I knew Ye Gongguan, so I left the capital together to find the next road for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
"Can you still contact the little monk you mentioned?"
Fang Houren nodded immediately!
Since he is someone Xiao Bing knows, and he had contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then and taught His Royal Highness the Crown Prince academics, then he must be trustworthy. After all, Xiao Bing is the person the Emperor and the Emperor can trust the most, so there is no problem.
And the dragon energy that I saw just now may have been revealed by Xiao Bing in front of me. After all, it is understandable that he has been contaminated with some dragon energy after following the Emperor and the Emperor for so many years. I didn't expect things to be so coincidental.
There is no need to go to the capital to find other people, because now Fang Houren doesn't know where to find someone who can let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mention him. Then there are not many immediate words, all the problems are solved.
Without any hesitation, Fang Houren immediately introduced what happened during this period.
The chaos of the feudal princes, the kings of various places were diligent, although the strength of that Xu Tang in the capital was particularly strong, it was almost useless, after all, so many feudal princes, go together, can you withstand it?
The capital has long been in chaos, and a vassal king he knows is particularly powerful and has a lot of living combat power, and has been recuperating.
Find the Crown Prince, just take the Crown Prince back to the fief, and then think about how to solve the current trouble. As long as you can find it, there is no need to worry about other problems!
Immediately took out the sound transmission token and transmitted the sound, and soon handed it to Xiao Bing.
"Young Master, Young Master, I am Xiao Bing, I met Fang Lao, the elder of His Majesty that year, he said that he knew your friend some time ago..."
"Xiao Bing sister?"
On the other side, Duo Bao's voice came.
Xiao Bing nodded vigorously.
Some time ago, I heard Zhao Gongming say that you left. You and Ling'er took the Young Master away. I have been following Zhao Gongming and Tao Hong, and now it just happened to be a coincidence.
"I don't believe you are Xiao Bing sister, so let's do this, you say something I like to eat the most."
Xiao Bing was silent for a moment.
"You don't like to eat everything..."
"Hehe, you guessed it right, then I'll let Tianran talk to you."
Soon, Chu Tianran's voice came from the other side.
"Xiao Bing sister, is that you, I actually contacted you!"
Xiao Bing nodded repeatedly: "I have nothing to say to you, but right now, we have contacted an elder of His Majesty that year, a person who can be completely trusted, let him talk to you."
Fang Houren hurriedly took the sound transmission token.
"Your Highness, where are you now, I am Fang Houren! I fought with the Supreme Emperor that year, and I protected the dynasty with His Majesty in the early years. I have not often returned to the country in these years, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may rarely hear of the old man, but the old man is now worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and I hope to see him in person!"
He was excited, and now he has finally contacted the Crown Prince!
Then there is nothing to worry about!
"Elder Fang, Elder Fang, hello. We are currently in the fiefdom of the Prince of Xiang. We heard that the Prince here is loyal to the dynasty, which is why we came. If possible, how about we meet in the Prince of Xiang's fiefdom?"
Fang Houren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Leave there quickly! Hearing that the Emperor's cultivation has declined in recent years, the Prince of Xiang was the first to plan to replace the dynasty. This man has deep schemes and plans and must be kept away from. Once discovered..."
At this moment, countless miles away, in the fiefdom of the Prince of Xiang, within a magnificent mansion.
Three Celestial Phenomenon cultivators surrendered, and the young Prince greeted them with a smile.
"It is not easy for the three of you to come to my fiefdom. Since this is the case, then stay and join the path of the King-Upholding army together..."
