Chapter 108 The Emperor Kneels Before the Eunuch? The Zhou Tian Formation!
As soon as Jidaozi saw his master arrive, he was so frightened that he dropped the whip in his hand!
"Master, it wasn't me... it was the emperor who wanted to do the work, so I..."
"No wonder, it was indeed I... who requested it myself!" Emperor Jianwen interrupted!
Chen Fan frowned.
He glanced at Emperor Jianwen, who was working in the fields, and then spoke:
"We'll send you out of the city. The sky's the limit; from now on, it's up to you, Eighth Prince, to decide your own destiny!"
Leave the city?
Emperor Jianwen shook his head slightly.
If it were two days ago, he would still have wanted to go out and take revenge.
But after reflecting on his painful experience, he gradually calmed down.
"Eunuch Chen..." Lost in thought, Emperor Jianwen suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:
"Please teach me how to cultivate immortality! Xiao Quan still has unfulfilled wishes, and with my current strength, it's absolutely impossible for me to succeed. Xiao Quan has realized that only by becoming stronger can he have a chance for revenge!"
Chen Fan was taken aback.
Looking at Emperor Jianwen, who wanted to cultivate immortality, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
He wouldn't believe that the royal family had been plotting for decades without a cultivation method.
Especially since this person was originally just a mortal, but is now already at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm!
From this, Chen Fan could easily tell that the other party possessed cultivation techniques!
"Eighth Prince, aren't you cultivating immortality? Why do you need us to teach you?"
Emperor Jianwen was exceptionally intelligent and naturally knew what Eunuch Chen was referring to.
With a wry smile on his face, he immediately explained the whole story.
After speaking, Emperor Jianwen sighed:
"With the support of the Great Abyss's incense offerings and the nation's fortune, my cultivation speed is indeed faster than ordinary people, but this is ultimately not the right path... If I want to embark on the path of cultivation, I still need to proceed steadily and surely..."
Chen Fan, squinting, nodded.
According to Emperor Jianwen, the reason why the imperial family was able to produce three cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm over several decades was because of this.
It all comes down to a secret technique called Incense Cultivation!
This so-called "incense-based cultivation" is about allowing practitioners to absorb the incense offerings from temples to achieve a golden body, thus embarking on the path of cultivation!
With the support of the Daeyu royal family, obtaining offerings was naturally not difficult for them.
Therefore, people like Qinglong, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, almost all relied on incense offerings to reach the Qi Refining Realm.
While cultivating immortality through incense offerings is fast, its drawbacks are also fatal!
For example, cultivators who practice incense-based cultivation may have unstable cultivation levels, and their spiritual power is only about half that of normal Qi Refining cultivators.
This situation has led to cultivators who rely on incense offerings for cultivation being generally weaker than normal cultivators.
Furthermore, the further one progresses in cultivation, the more incense offerings a cultivator needs, and the more difficult it becomes to break through to a higher realm.
Even a powerful dynasty like the Great Abyss Dynasty only managed to produce three cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm in several decades.
"I finally understand," Chen Fan sighed, his thoughts churning.
"When Emperor Hongwu obtained this cultivation secret, he saw its shortcomings, but he still chose to let the royal family cultivate it... As a result, the incense offerings for immortal cultivation were indeed very powerful, but in the end, the incense offerings of the entire country were not enough for you... This indirectly led to your destiny of going against the Changchun Sect..."
"That's one way to put it," Emperor Jianwen said with a wry smile.
"A single nation can't even produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator... I was thinking that if we could annex the other seven nations... perhaps the cultivation of immortality through incense offerings could reach an even higher level... It's just a pity..."
"It's a pity you were in such a hurry..." Chen Fan said with a smile:
"Excuse my bluntness... but if the Eighth Prince can remain stable for a few years, he might actually be able to grant your wish."
"No, Your Majesty," Emperor Jianwen shook his head and said:
"The Changchun Sect has already discovered the royal family's conspiracy. Even if I don't act, they will. This is... a dead end!"
It turned out to be the case.
Chen Fan nodded to himself, suddenly realizing what was happening.
Having finally grasped the essence of this power struggle involving the removal of corrupt officials from the court, a glint of shrewdness appeared in his eyes!
It's likely that Changchun Sect had long ago seen through the treacherous intentions of the Dayuan royal family!
However, in their eyes, the Great Abyss royal family was nothing more than ants.
From beginning to end, those high and mighty immortal masters never took the royal family seriously.
Ultimately, facts proved that the royal family was indeed vulnerable.
With only one Foundation Establishment stage disciple sent by the Changchun Sect, they directly turned the tide and pacified everything!
"Cultivating immortality through incense...isn't that an evil art?" Ji Daozi interjected from the side.
"Cultivating immortality is about cultivating the mind and the Great Dao... Relying on incense offerings to cultivate immortality... is destined to lead nowhere!"
Grandpa Wei, who was weeding in the field, also nodded.
Having practiced the incomplete Everlasting Spring Kung Fu, he understands best how painful it is when there are problems with that kind of kung fu.
Especially now that he has begun to dissipate his internal energy and start over, he can better appreciate the importance of the cultivation method.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Quan is no longer the emperor of Dayuan," Emperor Jianwen said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
"Right now, I'm just someone who wants to become stronger, so please give me a chance!"
The words had barely left his mouth!
Emperor Jianwen knelt down with a thud.
This surprised Chen Fan, who felt somewhat embarrassed.
Keep in mind that this was the emperor of Dayuan, while he was merely a eunuch in charge of raising horses at the Imperial Stables.
Now the emperor is kneeling before the eunuchs, what kind of talk is that?
"Get up, Eighth Prince," Chen Fan said, waving his hand.
"We already have an apprentice, so taking on another is out of the question. However, I can still teach you some things. In return, you'll have to farm here for us..."
"Thank you so much, Master!" Emperor Jianwen looked up and said excitedly.
"Xiao Quan will never let you down."
Why is he calling me "Master" again?
Thinking of Xiao Wu, that clever fellow, Chen Fan wondered if the Xiao family members were all a bit shameless!
After exchanging a few words with Emperor Jianwen, he turned and walked towards the courtyard.
The palace has been too chaotic these past two days, so Chen Fan hasn't had time to practice his swordsmanship or puppetry.
In addition, he had no spirit stones or medicinal herbs, so he had put aside alchemy for a long time.
With nothing else to do, Chen Fan could only come to the courtyard to close his eyes and rest.
While resting, he didn't forget to take out a secret manual from his pocket.
Zhou Tian Formation!
This was snatched from that array master by Chen Fan.
That night, Xuanmiaozi's sword arrived in an instant, forcing the formation master to frantically defend himself.
Just as this person was about to escape, Chen Fan appeared!
Like a ghost, he grabbed the storage bag and vanished.
As for whether that formation master is alive or not, he doesn't know!
After two days of relentless effort, Chen Fan finally managed to open a corner of the storage bag.
And this Zhou Tian Formation originated from this.
With his thoughts swirling, Chen Fan gently turned to the first page of the Zhou Tian Formation.
The text on it was densely packed with text, explaining the origin and structure of the formation.
Chen Fan, who was looking at it very carefully, was immediately captivated.
After briefly reviewing the Zhou Tian Formation, he then found three pebbles in the corner of the wall.
According to the book, Chen Fan tried to infuse some spiritual energy into the three pebbles.
He then arranged the maze formations according to the book, and soon a small formation appeared!
Chen Fan smiled, then turned around, grabbed two chickens, and threw them into the maze.
As soon as the two chickens entered the formation, they immediately started spinning in circles as if they were lost...
