After He Qingge passed another assessment, he began to recuperate.
The assessments that took place at the back were more difficult. At the beginning, he could clear more than 200 statues in a day.
However, as their strength slowly increased, the number of people who passed the statues’ assessments every day decreased.
This meant that the statues’ strength had increased, far surpassing their own strength.
Now, more than half a month had passed, and there were still more than a hundred statues left to be tested.
After so many battles, He Qingge’s Thunder Body-Tempering Technique had improved slightly.
After all, he had just broken through not long ago. It could be said that it was not bad to have such an improvement now.
He Qingge closed his eyes and tried to recall all the battles he had fought. His Wisdom Scripture Divine Wheel glowed, making his mind more agile.
Lil Butterfly could be considered as a portable enhanced sound system, allowing He Qingge to cultivate at any time.
Su Zimei’s and Zheng Xiaoling’s temperaments also became more stable.
The guard sent in from the entrance could not find He Qingge and the others at all. He was stopped at the arena.
He was a little conflicted about whether he should report this matter.
If he were to report this and someone stronger than him was sent in, would he not become a foil and a scapegoat?
He did not believe in his leader’s integrity at all.
The Fire Kingdom followed the Great General Xu Zhiping and led the army toward Imperial Capital. They wanted to seek justice for General Xu’s son, and the entire Fire Kingdom was thrown into chaos.
The various factions also revealed themselves and continuously tightened their forces.
Throughout history, it was known that the bird that stood out would definitely not have a good ending.
Moreover, Xu Zhiping only had one son—Xu Ren. Now that he was dead, he had no more children. It was impossible for him to sit firmly on the throne.
The White Lotus Society, the Fire Kingdom’s rebel sect, followed the wind and raised its flag.
The empress took out a white skull from the Imperial Palace. The skull was white and sparkling. There was no trace of terror in it. Instead, it made people feel warm.
It was very strange.
The skull seemed to be breathing in a special way.
The empress opened her mouth slightly and slowly revealed a satisfied expression.
The empress was planning to use the chaos of the Fire Kingdom to refine her Three Disasters magic weapon.
At the end of the dynasty, she would use the weapon to rule chaos, rebuild, and intimidate.
Natural disasters, earthly disasters, and human disasters all took place.
“Milord, aren’t we in a bit of a hurry? The provisions are not ready yet, and we’ll definitely be obstructed by the various counties and cities on our way.” A strategist beside Xu Zhiping said.
Xu Zhiping smiled. “How could I not know about this? But we left so suddenly!
“We don’t plan to kill our way there. We’re just borrowing the road.
“I believe that under such circumstances, not many people will try their best to stop us.
“Besides, I’m just trying to investigate my son’s death. I don’t have any other children. Humans are not plants. How can we be heartless?
“As we move forward like this, many people are looking forward to our arrival. They want to make this country more chaotic. “Perhaps there will be many people who will add fuel to the fire and help us.” Xu Zhiping could see the situation very clearly.
The Fire Kingdom had been blessed with over 270 years of national fortune, and now, there were many natural and man-made disasters.
The common people exchanged their children for food, and the wandering bandits swarmed into the mountains like the sea.
Anyone with a bit of knowledge would know that this was the scene of the end of the dynasty.
He, Xu Zhiping, had no children now. His only child had died in Imperial City.
Basically, there would not be too many people who would trip him up.
There were still people who were loyal to the country and its people.
As for not having children, that would not stop him from being the emperor.
As long as these hundreds of thousands of troops headed to Imperial City, the rest of the situation would not be up to anyone else.
General Xu would use the power of the emperor to take command.
As for children, it was not that he could not have them again.
It was said that the empress was graceful and elegant, enchanting and charming.
As long as he entered Imperial City, everything would be his!
However, what surprised him was that even though they had already set off, there was still no movement from the regent prince, Chen Wushuang.
This was not like him at all.
The turmoil began, and the White Lotus Society began to stir in every county.
The atmosphere in the entire Fire Kingdom changed.
After the empress finished refining the magic weapon for the day, she went to Luo Qiuci’s room.
She had never expected that the child in front of her would actually have a heavenly spiritual root. This was really beyond her expectations.
Luo Qiuci was not her daughter. The real empress had died a long time ago.
However, Luo Qiuci was still young at that time, so she could not tell.
“Mother!”
Luo Qiuci bowed respectfully.
“Qiuci, what are you doing? Why haven’t I seen you go out to play these past few days?”
“Mother, the exalted immortal gave me a cultivation method. I’m learning it now.”
Before He Qingge left, he had passed on the Heavenly Mysterious Spell to her. It was the introductory Qi cultivation technique of the Tian Xuan Sect.
When the time came, one could freely convert it into any other cultivation technique.
The Fire Kingdom had a cultivation technique that was not forbidden.
“How is it going?” The empress was also a little curious about the aptitude of a heavenly spiritual root.
“I feel warm all over. There’s a warm current flowing through my body.
“In the end, the warm airflow will gather in my lower abdomen, and I’ll feel that my strength has increased a little.”
Luo Qiuci described the feeling of her cultivation.
The empress scanned the area with her spiritual will and was rather surprised. How long had it been? She had cultivated for less than 20 days.
The aptitude of a heavenly spiritual root was indeed powerful.
The more she looked at Luo Qiuci, the more she liked her.
The empress looked at Luo Qiuci with a friendly expression.
She had once obtained the Soul-Substitution Technique in a ruin.
Although it was called a substitution technique, it was actually a part of a movement technique that allowed one to have two bodies.
If the two bodies were not destroyed at the same time, she would not die. If one body was destroyed, she could be transferred to the other body to revive.
She had been looking for a suitable body for so many years. She did not like those with weak aptitudes. Those with strong aptitudes either had strong backgrounds or were stronger than her.
She never expected that her fate would be so good in the Imperial Palace of the mortal world.
If she could use this little girl with the heavenly spiritual root as her substitute, her future would be limitless.
However, if she wanted to practice this Soul-Substitution Technique, she needed to prepare a lot of things.
At the very least, pills and spiritual herbs that nourished the soul were essential.
Lastly, if one wanted to cultivate this spell, one had to be at least at the Golden Core Realm.
The problem was that her current strength was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and she was still some distance away from the Golden Core Realm.
If her plan for the Fire Kingdom could achieve the best results, she might be able to shorten her cultivation time by a lot..
