Chapter 539 - 320: The Prince Seizes the Throne! Imprisoned and Hard to Survive! Qi Sea Returning to the Origin!

"This world..." The Seventh Prince seemed somewhat touched.

"Heading east, the Yiyang Kingdom, the Seven-Star Kingdom, the Lingwu Kingdom, all are more prosperous than the Qin Dynasty."

"If Your Seventh Highness can survive crossing the Lingwu Kingdom, then congratulations, Your Seventh Highness. To the north of Lingwu Kingdom is one of the most powerful nations in the Cangxuan Western Continent, the Celestial Veil Kingdom."

"Perhaps, Your Seventh Highness may see the true world there."

After saying this, Chu Ming said no more, soaring into the cloud sky.

The ring he gave the Seventh Prince is a Storage Treasure, containing not only elixirs but also cultivation techniques and treasures, enough to aid this Seventh Prince to cultivate to the Meridian Unlocking Realm.

The path for the Seventh Prince is clear; whether he takes the advice to go east, leave the Qin Dynasty, and see the vast world he yearns for, or return to the Imperial City to meet his end, it’s up to the Seventh Prince himself, he won’t interfere any further.

The Seventh Prince stared blankly at the disappearing black silhouette, snowflakes falling on his face, within the icy coldness he felt a hint of warmth.

Lowering his head, he looked at the ring, the residual warmth from the ring still lingering.

"Chu Ming..." he murmured, stunned and at a loss.

When the wind and snow blew a ’snowman’, and that ’snowman’ suddenly awoke.

As the snow fell off, the Seventh Prince seemed like he was waking from a big dream, startled awake.

He remembered to check the ring, looking at the treasures stored within, his heart suddenly tightening.

Elixirs, cultivation techniques, treasures, far more weighty than the light remark ’there are some elixirs and some life-saving treasures inside’.

The value of these treasures, with his former status as a Seventh Prince, he couldn’t possibly obtain.

"Before, I had no choice," the Seventh Prince took out the cultivation technique, his expression stirred, "But from now on, I will walk my own path."

"..."

...

Chu Ming also wishes to see the broader world, but not now.

After sending off the Seventh Prince, he returned to the Qin Capital through the skies.

Deep within the Imperial City.

"Hmm?"

Ji Wujiang, who was in seclusion, felt a stir in his heart.

"Little kid, you still know to find me."

Swoosh!

His figure flickered, and upon reappearing, he was already at the Cyan Fire Blacksmith Shop in the outer city of Qin Capital.

"Master Ancestor." Chu Ming slightly bowed.

"Huh?" Upon seeing Chu Ming, Ji Wujiang’s face flashed with surprise, "Impossible... impossible..."

"Master Ancestor?" Chu Ming looked towards Ji Wujiang.

"You’ve named on the Golden List, comprehended the method of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, it’s been how long since then, less than a month, how come you have... finished reshaping the five viscera and six bowels?"

"No, no..." Ji Wujiang looked up and down at Chu Ming, "Not only the five viscera and six bowels, you’ve even started reshaping your meridians and acupoints!"

"I initially thought that big commotion at the Yan Imperial Mausoleum of North Snow County was caused by you, but now it seems, maybe it wasn’t."

"The treasures inside the Yan Imperial Mausoleum, besides a few items, the rest are just piles of broken copper and iron, none that would enhance one’s skills with such divine speed."

"Kid, during those days of your disappearance, did you enter some incredible secret realm?"

"...Master Ancestor, I remember from the Golden List competition, there was another who named on the Golden List, congratulations to Master Ancestor for accepting an excellent disciple?" Chu Ming did not answer directly, instead, asking about Hoong Ying.

"Hehe, you kid are still pulling a play with me, Hoong Jun is you, isn’t it?"

"...Yes."

"Hoong Ying is fine, don’t worry."

"Thank you, Master Ancestor."

"..."

A brief silence.

"You’re aware of the current situation, seemingly it’s internal strife for the throne among the Chang Qin family, but in fact, it’s a precursor to the millennium catastrophe."

Ji Wujiang’s expression suddenly grew solemn.

"I have a strong intuition, short as a year, long as three years, the millennium catastrophe will surely descend, by then, even I may not be able to ensure my own survival."

"There are some things I originally did not plan to tell you, but now you’ve cultivated to the stage of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, reshaping your meridians and acupoints, you ought to be informed."

"Among the thirty-three nations of the Ancient Profound Western Continent, the Qin Dynasty can only be considered a middle state, like me at the Sea of Qi Realm, said to be in the National Guardian Realm, but it’s actually just a nominal title."

"Above the Sea of Qi is Returning to the Origin, above Returning to the Origin is Gui Xuan."

"Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm reshapes the body, a powerful body can accommodate a more vast Qi and Blood Power, once accumulated to a certain extent, one can open the Sea of Qi, this realm is the Sea of Qi Realm."

"The Sea of Qi condenses at the heart, as the Qi and Blood Power accumulates, power steadily increases, but ultimately there’s a limit to what the body can hold, the Sea of Qi cannot infinitely expand."

"Thus, to break through the Sea of Qi, changes are required."

"The method of change is no longer the expansion of Qi and Blood Power, the enhancement of the body, but it is required to integrate Qi and Blood Power into every part of the body."
