Travel 70,000 Miles
Chapter 409: Traveling 70,000 Miles
Emperor Yanfeng suddenly felt as if his cabbage field had been rummaged through by a wild boar, and then the wild boar came back and rummaged through it again. He quickly struggled to get up and was about to stop the young boy and girl when several deer monsters came over and forced him to sit down.
The female deer demon held a few flowers in her hands, signaled the emperor not to move, and then put the flowers on the emperor's head, making them brilliant in color.
Another mermaid came over and distributed the noisy red fruits. A group of fruits were making a lot of noise in the fruit bowl, which was really horrifying.
The tree demons patrolled the sickbeds with dark faces, and whipped anyone who didn't behave. For a moment, all the famous figures in the martial arts world and the emperor and empress dowager became much quieter.
When the goblins finished their inspection, the emperor was about to rush over to stop the young man and girl, but the empress dowager lazily said, "Emperor, you should just stop worrying. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You are worrying so much. Aren't you worried that Xiu'er won't be able to get married in the future?"
Emperor Yanfeng said quickly, "Your Majesty, you don't know that dual cultivation of the primordial spirits has great hidden dangers and cannot be done without a husband and wife. If Xiu'er and his primordial spirits were to dual cultivate, their primordial spirits would resonate and they would reach bliss together. If she gets married in the future, she would not be able to resonate with the primordial spirit of the Prince Consort. The souls cannot resonate. Without resonance, there is no feeling! If she lacks the joy of primordial spirit resonance, she will be divorced and sent home after she gets married in the future!"
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "You can just take him in as your consort. Is it worth making a fuss? Besides, who would dare to divorce a princess of the royal family?"
Emperor Yanfeng was silent for a moment, then said, "Mother, he is the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Emperor of Man. I am not too sure."
The Queen Mother also fell silent, knowing what he meant.
The leader of the demon sect is extremely powerful.
The emperor is the most powerful person in the court, and the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult is the most powerful person in the world. The influence of the Heavenly Demon Cult has spread to every corner of the world and even the court. Especially after Qin Mu became the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult of this generation, the Heavenly Demon Cult has become more and more prosperous, surpassing its peak period in history.
Both the Taoist sect and the Great Leiyin Temple were destroyed by Qin Mu and the imperial court, and were no longer able to compete with the Heavenly Demon Sect. However, the imperial court needed people from the Heavenly Demon Sect to carry out reforms, so many masters of the sect entered the court.
The Kingdom of Yankang is full of the influence of the Demonic Cult from the bottom to the top.
In addition, Qin Mu was much more open-minded than the Taoist Master and Tathagata. He reformed the Demonic Sect, set up schools, learned the reforms of the National Master, and continuously cultivated talents for the Demonic Sect.
It has only been two years since Qin Mu became the leader, but he has caused such great changes, which cannot but make the emperor and the empress dowager worried.
What is even more worrying is that Qin Mu is surrounded by many masters and has the identity of the Human Emperor. If he takes out the Human Emperor Seal, even the Taoist sect, the Great Leiyin Temple and Xiao Yujing will probably have to wait for his orders!
This is extremely scary!
From this point of view, Qin Mu is definitely not the best candidate for the prince consort.
If Qin Mu becomes the son-in-law of the emperor, it will be easy for the foreign relatives to seize power!
This is exactly what Emperor Yanfeng is worried about. When he is in power, Qin Mu cannot seize power. When he is not there, the country will change hands in the blink of an eye!
Unknowingly, the simple child who came to Yankang Kingdom two years ago has grown into a fierce tiger that can fight with dragons. It is really terrifying.
Even if Qin Mu has no intention of seizing power, what about the next leader of the Demon Sect?
Who can guarantee that the next Demon Cult leader will not covet the throne after taking control of such a huge force left by Qin Mu?
"As an emperor, you really shouldn't rely on the mercy of others for your imperial power. You did the right thing."
The Queen Mother said, "But why do I see you hesitating? You are on guard against Master Qin, but you indulge him. This is not your style. In order to reform with Master Yankang, you even indulged Master Yankang to poison me, making me lie on the sickbed for so many years and unable to interfere in government affairs. This is so cruel and ruthless, this is the emperor of my Ling family."
Emperor Yanfeng was filled with guilt and said, "I did condone Fu Yuanqing's poisoning of my mother. If I hadn't done that, my mother's influence in the court would have been too great, and it would have been difficult for me and the Imperial Master to control power. I am an unfilial son, so I can only ask my mother to be alone for a while. Even if Qin Aiqing hadn't appeared, I would have asked Fu Yuanqing to remove the poison from my mother after I completely controlled power."
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "You have done very well. You are my own son, and you are even more cruel and ruthless than I was in my youth. So why don't you attack Master Qin?"
Emperor Yanfeng was silent, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am afraid. I am afraid that my country's master and I will fail. If we fail, we will die without a burial place. The fate of this country and the lives of the people cannot all depend on me, nor on my Ling family. I need a successor to continue the reform after my master and I fail. The Ling family does not have such a person, but the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader is such a person."
The Queen Mother looked at his face carefully and sighed, "I never thought that my son would be such a person. I underestimated you. Emperor, let Xiu'er go with Qin Aiqing. If you think he can inherit, then let Xiu'er be with him. Even if you and the Imperial Master fail, my Ling family will not be extinct."
Emperor Yanfeng's heart moved slightly. He thought carefully about the meaning of her words and nodded silently.
"You are a good emperor, and the imperial teacher is also a good imperial teacher."
The Queen Mother looked calmly at the mountains in the distance shrouded in mist, and said softly: "I will not go against you. You can change the world as you please, and you can change the law as you please. I will retire to this mountain forest and fight with these little sluts who want to compete with me for my lover!"
Emperor Yanfeng's face darkened again, and he said hesitantly, "Mother, the royal family's reputation."
The Queen Mother basked in the sun leisurely, and said with a smile: "You are a filial son, don't you care about your mother's happiness in her later years? I have been lying on the sickbed for so many years, knowing that it was you and the Imperial Master who did it, but have I ever complained to you? This is the only thing I want now, just let me go. Fighting these little sluts is my last pleasure."
Emperor Yanfeng was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Does your mother need my help in eliminating the enemy?"
"I have worked hard in the harem to climb to my current position. Do I still need your help? You underestimate me."
…
At the lakeside of the villa, Qin Mu took out a stick of incense and inserted it on the shore and lit it. Ling Yuxiu sniffed the strange fragrance and asked curiously, "What is the use of this incense?"
"This is soul-guiding incense."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "I used the rune mark of the Soul-Guiding Skill to refine it into this incense, and added hundreds of spices to it. Although it does not have the magical power of the Soul-Guiding Skill, it can lead the way. If our soul gets lost, when the incense burns out, the power of the rune will explode, and the body can smell the fragrance to lead the soul back to the body. In this way, there is no need for others to protect us."
Ling Yuxiu held his hand, Qin Mu raised his other hand, the two of them held hands, looked into each other's eyes, smiled, and immediately their spirits left their bodies.
Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu both had the experience of their souls leaving their bodies and traveling in the void. Afterwards, they both tried to cultivate their souls, but with little success.
This time the two of them tried to comprehend the Liuhe Yuanshen and turn this chance into inevitability, which was naturally extremely difficult.
At that time, Qin Mu encountered Xu Shenghua by chance. He thought Xu Shenghua was another tyrant and was very excited. As a result, he and Ling Yuxiu accidentally experienced the situation of their soul leaving their body and wandering in the void.
After the soul returned to the body, the two suddenly discovered that they had actually cultivated the soul and had extraordinary circumstances. This was a coincidence.
How to turn coincidence into inevitability is crucial.
At this moment, the young boy and girl's souls left their bodies again and traveled together, trying to find the pattern. They felt that their souls were entangled and their spirits were resonating, which was different from the last time when they accidentally cultivated two souls together.
The primordial spirit is composed of the spirit fetus and the soul. This time their primordial spirit left the body, and the soul and the soul resonated. The primordial spirit was also in a state of resonance. There was a way that the throbbing and numbness of the soul spread to every corner of the primordial spirit.
This feeling is both long-lasting and unforgettable.
They were floating in the air, and saw flowers as big as mats, but they didn't know what kind of flowers they were, and grass as sharp as swords, but they didn't know what kind of grass they were. There were also fish and jellyfish swimming in the air. The scenery was magnificent, very different from that in Yankang.
They wandered among them, looking very small.
"Is this what we really see, or is it an illusion?" Both of them were reluctant to leave.
At this moment, they suddenly smelled a strong fragrance and felt themselves being pulled by an invisible force. Ling Yuxiu quickly reached out and grabbed a small fish, saying, "Whether it is real or an illusion, we will know when we return to our physical bodies and wake up!"
Swoosh——
The scenery before their eyes changed endlessly, and suddenly the vision disappeared. They each returned to their bodies, their hands still held together, their eyes still facing each other.
Ling Yuxiu let go of Qin Mu's hand, only to see a small fish jumping around in her palm.
"It's true. It's amazing."
She bent down, held the little fish in both hands and put it into the water. The little fish swam and struggled. After a while, the fish turned over on its belly and almost drowned.
Ling Yuxiu quickly splashed water twice to catch the little fish, but saw the little fish coughing hard, spitting out the water in its stomach, and then flew into the air with its disproportionate fins flapping.
Ling Yuxiu was surprised. The little fish flew over and suddenly water spurted out of its mouth, spraying all over Ling Yuxiu's face.
Ling Yuxiu was furious and reached out to grab it, but the little fish flapped its fins and flew away.
"Stinky fish!"
Ling Yuxiu washed her face, turned around and asked curiously: "He who herds cattle, where have we been?"
Qin Mu thought, "It should be the East Sea of Daxu. It was originally a sea, but later it became a basin. The sea water disappeared, but the creatures in the sea survived. Many fish can fly, and flowers can fly too."
"Daxu East Sea? How far is it from here?"
"More than 70,000 miles."
Ling Yuxiu was startled and said in a lost voice, "We just traveled 70,000 miles in the time it took to stick an incense stick, and then we came back after traveling?"
Qin Mu nodded, staring into the distance in a daze, and said, "Traveling 70,000 miles in the void in the time of a stick of incense is indeed incredible? Why can't the physical body be that fast? How great would it be if the physical body had the speed of the spirit?"
Ling Yuxiu burst out laughing and said, "You are too greedy. The soul has no weight, so it naturally runs faster. The body has weight, so it will naturally run slower. Do you still have the soul-guiding incense? We were just having fun this time and didn't think of pursuing the technique to refine the soul. We must try again."
Qin Mu recalled the beauty of the resonance of his soul, and he nodded quickly, saying, "We must try it again! We can't just play around this time, we have to do the important things!"
After an incense stick of time, the two of them regained their spiritual power. Qin Mu scratched his head and asked tentatively: "How about we do it again?"
Ling Yuxiu nodded heavily: "I will definitely not play this time!"
