Chapter 1340: Chapter 1336: Purpose

”What exactly is going on, Senior Sister Guo? You’re such a straightforward person!” Shen Hanyue urged.

Xiao Ruoling looked at her intently.

She said helplessly, ”It’s about the succession. A few Elder Brothers have already set their sights on the imperial throne and are fighting for it.”

Shen Hanyue was curious and said, ”Isn’t it up to the Emperor to decide?”

”Father’s thoughts keep changing.”

”Why does he keep changing them?”

”Each of the Elder Brothers is a talented person, but they also have their shortcomings, so it’s hard for him to make up his mind.”

Shen Hanyue said, ”That’s easy to solve.”

”Junior Sister,” Xiao Ruoling said, ”this is a significant matter concerning the entire world, don’t joke around.”

”I’m not joking,” Shen Hanyue said, ”Since it’s hard to decide, we can say it’s about the same, any choice will do, then leave it to luck.”

”How to leave it to luck?” Guo Mingxue asked.

Shen Hanyue said, ”Draw lots, whoever gets it, gets it.”

”Nonsense!” Xiao Ruoling said angrily.

Shen Hanyue was indignant: ”Isn’t this method good? It’s like heaven’s choice.”

She looked at Guo Mingxue, ”Senior Sister Guo, what do you think of my idea?”

”... It’s quite good.” Guo Mingxue smiled wryly.

The matter of choosing an Emperor is such a significant issue; choosing this way is outrageous.

But amidst the absurdity, there’s a touch of truth.

Drawing lots is too childish; a more sophisticated and formal method could be used.

The principle is the same, but the method is more sophisticated.

”Alright then?” Shen Hanyue looked proudly at Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”Such childishness won’t convince anyone.”

”Then make it more convincing,” Shen Hanyue said, ”let them draw lots themselves, and whoever breaks the agreement will be scorned by the world.”

”Hmm, makes sense.” Guo Mingxue laughed and said, ”The more I think about it, the more ingenious this idea is.”

Xiao Ruoling couldn’t help but laugh, ”Senior Sister Guo, don’t listen to her nonsense.”

”I will propose it to Father,” Guo Mingxue said with a smile, ”this method can be carried out more solemnly and formally.”

Shen Hanyue clapped her hands, ”Yes, I think a heavenly sacrifice ceremony can be used, and during this ceremony, draw lots.”

She felt inspired, coming up with one brilliant idea after another, even admiring her own cleverness.

Her eyes sparkled, and she said with admiration, ”With all the ministers as witnesses, seeing whom heaven ultimately chooses, who could deny it?!”

”Those not chosen can only blame heaven for not selecting them, not others.”

”Hehe... Junior Sister Shen, who thought you were so clever.”

”Senior Sister, you overpraise me.” Shen Hanyue said with a high-spirited smile.

Xiao Ruoling shook her head.

She thought the two of them were just fooling around; the matter of succession couldn’t be resolved so easily.

Since these Princes were all equally talented, they wouldn’t be convinced by each other, and even if not chosen, they wouldn’t give up willingly.

They wouldn’t be so orderly, and the disputes wouldn’t be so easily resolved.

She pondered, ”First, we must set an oath that whoever is chosen by heaven, the others must abide by the agreement and relinquish power, or it’s useless.”

”Hmm, I’ll talk to Father,” Guo Mingxue smiled, ”Junior Sister Xiao, Junior Sister Shen, you two go have fun, enjoy yourselves.”

Shen Hanyue said, ”Will the Princely Heir come over, is it no problem?”

”Princely Heir? Oh, Junior Sister Xiao’s husband, no problem.” Guo Mingxue smiled, then showed hesitation.

”Senior Sister Guo, do you have something to say?” Shen Hanyue asked.

Guo Mingxue hesitated for a moment.

Seeing the two women staring at her intently, she sighed, ”I shouldn’t be saying this.”

Xiao Ruoling said, ”Senior Sister, is it about my husband?”

She immediately guessed it was about Chu Zhiyuan.

”I don’t know if Master Qin has talked to you about the impact of romantic feelings on our mental method.”

”Master didn’t mention it.”

”Then I won’t say more,” Guo Mingxue shook her head.

Unhappy, Shen Hanyue said, ”Senior Sister Guo, if the Princely Heir really affected Senior Sister, how could she have reached this Realm?”

Guo Mingxue nodded: ”Hmm, maybe that’s why Master Qin hasn’t mentioned it, your progress is too fast, beyond imagination.”

She thought she would mention it when Xiao Ruoling’s progress stalled.

But Xiao Ruoling’s Realm kept advancing rapidly, reaching Venerable Sixth Transitions in no time.

The progress in Realm was too fast, almost ridiculously fast.

In this situation, who could say anything?

”Rest assured, Senior Sister’s Realm will keep advancing quickly, all the way to Nine Transitions, to Perfection!”

She had full confidence in this.

This was due to Chu Zhiyuan’s Secret Technique of Transmission, which directly conveyed insights into their minds.

”Then, if so, no one can say anything.” Guo Mingxue said, ”I’m leaving now.”

...

As soon as she left, Chu Zhiyuan appeared in the courtyard.

He didn’t rush to spread his Super Sense, only covering this small courtyard and then slowly extending outward.

Seeing him, Shen Hanyue couldn’t hold back and mentioned what Guo Mingxue had said.

In the end, she huffed, ”So, we should quickly improve and advance to Perfection in one go.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Hanyue, you’re urging me to practice harder with you all.”

”Yes, that’s right,” Shen Hanyue said, ”don’t slack off.”

”Alright,” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”let’s start cultivating then.”

...

At dawn the next day, Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes.

The two women also opened their eyes, a gleam of light flashing within.

Each had a content smile.

The three of them quickly left the Ninth Princess Mansion and appeared on the main street of the Imperial City.

During the early morning in the Imperial City, the main street was already bustling with activity.

The aroma of various snacks filled the air, blending together and forming a unique fragrance.

The three of them strolled around, eventually finding a restaurant and sat at a table by the window.

Everything around was novel, different from Little Outer Heaven and other heavens.

Shen Hanyue said, ”Senior Sister, it seems the Martial Arts here aren’t that strong.”

”Hmm, it seems not very strong,” Xiao Ruoling nodded.

What they saw with their eyes, there were many Martial Arts practitioners around, with knives and swords, appearing fierce.

But their aura wasn’t strong, feeling quite similar to Little Outer Heaven.

They looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan appeared pensive.

They didn’t disturb him, ordered a few signature dishes with the waiter, and asked for a pot of wine.

When the waiter served the food and wine, Chu Zhiyuan snapped back to reality.

Shen Hanyue couldn’t wait to ask, ”Princely Heir, did you discover anything?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”The cultivation here isn’t high, but a Spiritual Artifact suppresses, so we need to be careful.”

Shen Hanyue asked, ”Does it pose a threat to us?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Shen Hanyue said, ”Senior Sister, is Senior Sister Guo returning to suppress the Princes?”

Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly.

It was evident that Guo Mingxue’s return to Glazed Heaven wasn’t just a family visit as she said.

Most likely, this time, the imperial throne’s struggle would be resolved.

”Senior Sister Guo is probably the strongest expert of their Imperial Family, right?”

”Hmm, she should be.”

They looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Indeed she is.”

Guo Mingxue’s cultivation was at Venerable Sixth Transitions, the same as Xiao Ruoling.

In the Imperial City, the strongest expert was just entering the Venerable Realm.

With a powerful National Guardian Spiritual Artifact, it sure could pose a threat to a Venerable.

Without this artifact, there would be no threat to a Venerable.

The three of them ate and drank while chatting about the local customs and practices.

After they were full, they left the restaurant and strolled around the city to digest.

An hour later, Chu Zhiyuan bid them farewell.

Chu Zhiyuan appeared atop a mountain outside the Imperial City, looking up.

He took out the Strange Stone from his bosom.

Concentrating, that location appeared again in the Void.

He found, that in Glazed Heaven, sensing that location was nearer and clearer.

Why is this?

For the moment, he had no time to worry about this and first focused on that location.

After a while, he suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, he reappeared at the base of the interlaced mountains seen earlier.

Super Sense expanded, Insight everywhere, then he disappeared again, his body stiff and immovable in mid-air, his True Yuan locked.

The Earth Origin Technique activated, and the next moment, he was back outside the main hall of the Heaven-Reaching Sect.

He entered the main hall, saw Zhang Ji Yuan, and asked how long he had been gone.

”Three days.”

”Three days...” Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

This time, it was three days.

For him, it felt like a moment in that place, yet three days had passed.
