Several hours later, Long Chen was already in the Imperial Palace. Most of the people from the Imperial Family had already escaped. Those who were left were all incompetent. Therefore, Long Chen didn't bother to deal with them. The other two families had already pledged allegiance to Long Chen. They would help to deal with the affairs of the Imperial City, so Long Chen didn't bother with them.
The Gongsun Family Patriarchs and the Zhou Family Patriarchs, in order to curry favor with Long Chen, would definitely be working very hard at this moment, managing the Imperial City in an orderly manner. Meanwhile, Long Chen was happily idle, waiting for Zhao Qingyun to arrive with the Heavenly Devil Palace's army.
Long Chen had once told Zhao Qingyun that he would give the whole Cangyang Kingdom to Zhao Qingyun after Zhao Qingyun had given him so much. Today, Long Chen had done it. Now the Cangyang Kingdom was in Long Chen's hands. Long Chen had given the Cangyang Kingdom to his master, Zhao Qingyun, and no one dared to oppose it.
Long Chen knew that Zhao Qingyun liked to live a leisurely life, but it didn't mean that he didn't have the ambition to control the whole Cangyang Kingdom. For the people of the Demonic Palace, defeating the Imperial Family was their long-cherished wish. Zhao Qingyun could seize the Cangyang Kingdom from the hands of the Imperial Family, which proved that he was more powerful than the previous Lords of the Demonic Palace.
At this moment, Long Chen was waiting for Zhao Qingyun's arrival. In his free time, he took out the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit and examined it. Long Chen finally confirmed that he had indeed obtained the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit.
Next, he wanted to examine the other things left behind by the Sword Emperor. He could see that the Black Eye Sword Emperor was his real body, which was slightly more powerful. Therefore, he had placed the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit and other valuable things in the Cosmos Sack that he carried with him.
To the Sword Emperor, there was no place that was safer than being on his body.
First of all, Long Chen had obtained the Connecting Heaven Elixirs. According to Long Chen's estimation, an ordinary martial artist of the first level of the Reaching Heaven State would have less than 20 Connecting Heaven Elixirs. However, the Sword Emperor had almost 100 Connecting Heaven Elixirs. This should be the Connecting Heaven Elixirs that the Imperial Family had accumulated over the years.
During the practice of the Reaching Heaven State, the Connecting Heaven Elixirs were especially needed. Moreover, a large number of Connecting Heaven Elixirs were needed in order to open up the apertures and solidify the core of the True Qi. Therefore, the Connecting Heaven Elixirs were especially important. If Long Chen didn't have the Connecting Heaven Elixirs, it would be impossible for him to reach the Reaching Heaven State. This amount of Connecting Heaven State Elixirs should be enough for him to reach the second level of the Reaching Heaven State.
There were a total of nine apertures at the junction of the Eighteen Heavenly Rivers. Six of them were spiritual apertures, two were earth apertures, and the last one was heaven aperture. Only when these apertures were opened with true qi and consolidated with the power of the Supreme Pill could they form the core of true qi, just like the original dantian.
Opening nine apertures at the same time was equivalent to having nine dantians.
The practice of the Four Great Basic Realms was to allow the martial artist's body to reach a perfect state. It was rumored that the martial artist who had opened the heaven aperture would have a perfect body after reaching the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven State. He would be able to fly in the sky and tunnel underground, and would be omnipotent.
Of course, it was impossible to tunnel underground, but it was definitely possible to fly in the sky. The most crucial factor in completing the practice of the Four Great Basic Realms was whether one could reach the level of flying in the sky.
Back then, Li Xuanji had been able to fly in front of Long Chen easily. This meant that Li Xuanji's strength was at least at the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven State. After understanding the Reaching Heaven State, Long Chen realized how powerful she was. Moreover, Lingxi's background was not inferior to Li Xuanji's. In other words, if Lingxi's family really appeared, they would give Long Chen a terrifying pressure.
After possessing strength, Long Chen had fought hard to find the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit for Lingxi. From now on, he would probably have to fight hard to see Lingxi. The difficulties in the future would be thousands of times more difficult than before.
However, Long Chen was not afraid in the slightest.
He checked the Sword Emperor's Cosmos Sack again. Except for the Reaching Heaven Elixir and some miscellaneous items, there were not many things that were useful to Long Chen. There might be some things that were left with the Golden-eyed Sword Emperor. Long Chen could only say that he was really lucky. He had chosen one of the two.
When transferring the things in the Cosmos Sack, Long Chen saw a worn-out secret manual.
"What's this?"
He picked up the secret manual and wiped off the dust on its surface. Suddenly, he saw four big words: Soul Splitting Method.
"Soul Splitting Method."
Lingxi also came over. She could vaguely feel that this seemingly insignificant Soul Splitting Method might be related to the Sword Emperor's two bodies.
"Lingxi, you know a lot. Take a look at what this is."
Long Chen handed the Soul Splitting Method to Lingxi and studied it with her. Not long after, Lingxi said with a sluggish expression, "How is this possible? How can this be?"
"What exactly is this?" Long Chen did not understand, so he asked softly. "It's really too mysterious.
However, Brother Chen, you don't have to get too excited. There's a huge loophole in this thing, so it's not worth using. Let me tell you the details. This is a secret technique of an unknown grade. Judging from the description, it should be a failed product. However, the person who created this secret technique sure has a strong imagination. Speaking of which, this thing is also related to the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. "" That's right.
"Tell me in detail."
Long Chen listened attentively. With one look, he could tell that this Soul Splitting Method was related to the Sword Emperor's two bodies.
"Humans have three spiritual and seven physical souls. This Soul Splitting Method is a secret technique that can split the three spiritual and seven physical souls into two. However, the strange thing is that only half of the soul can remain. Furthermore, the remaining soul can be used to forge a new body using the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit. I'm guessing this is the reason why the Sword Emperor has the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit …"
"The Sword Emperor with golden eyes was created using the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit. If you had come later, the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit in your hands would have created another Sword Emperor."
After hearing this, Long Chen was a little shocked. He had to admit that this method could turn one person into two, and one cultivation base into two. It was really heaven-defying.
"If that's the case, if he had enough Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit, wouldn't he be able to cultivate countless clones? If each of them had the same strength as him, wouldn't he be invincible in the world?" Long Chen said gloomily.
"Of course not. Furthermore, this Soul Splitting Method is a failed product." Lingxi shook her head.
"First of all, a single clone has already caused great damage to the source of his soul. Even though he has two bodies, his cultivation speed in the future will definitely slow down. Furthermore, these two souls don't have a master and a servant. There's no difference between controlling and being controlled. Both of them have different thoughts and thoughts. It's like one person has suddenly become two people. You won't know which one is which, so it'll be very confusing. The fact that these two Sword Emperors can agree to come out during the day and at night is already a very good situation."
After Lingxi explained the drawbacks, Long Chen gave up on the idea. From this, it seemed that this Soul Splitting Method was not only useless, but it would also bring him a lot of trouble if he were to cultivate it. At least, Long Chen didn't believe that there was another him in this world. How terrifying would that be …
"Then I'll just throw this thing away." Long Chen said very straightforwardly. This way, he wouldn't harm others.
"Chen, keep it first. I'll take a look at it in the future. Maybe I can improve it. Think about it, if you have a clone with the same strength as you, but it doesn't have any thoughts. It only has fighting strength. You don't even need to hurt your soul. Isn't that a very good thing?" Lingxi said.
"That's true. Alright then. Little Xi, you're really great. I can't bear to part with you." Long Chen thought that since he had already obtained the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit, they might really have to part ways.
"Yes." Lingxi was startled. Her eyes were filled with deep worry.
Sword Emperor's Qiankun Bag had been checked. Not long after, someone came to report that the people of Sky Devil Palace had arrived. When Long Chen came to the throne room of the royal family, he saw Zhao Qingyun, the two Great Demon Elders, and Murong Yu, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
The members of the Heavenly Devil Palace were already very familiar with Long Chen's magnificent feats. To be honest, before meeting Long Chen, the three of them, with the exception of Zhao Qingyun, were a little nervous. After all, Long Chen's current reputation was too great.
At first, the Great Demon Elder and the Second Demon Elder even wanted to stop Long Chen when he left Sky Devil Palace. At this time, they finally realized how outrageous they had been at that time. Things like the Demon Emperor Sword should have been taken away by Long Chen in order to shine brightly.
Of course, the Great Demon Elder also admired Zhao Qingyun very much. Zhao Qingyun had become the biggest winner. He basically didn't need to spend any effort. All he needed to do was to cultivate Long Chen in various ways. It had only been a few months, and the Great Demon Elder had already gotten the reward.
The reward was the whole Cangyang Country.
This was the dream of the disciples of Sky Devil Palace, and also the dream of the Great Demon Elder and the others. Today, it was very dramatic that Long Chen helped them realize this dream. When Long Chen began to fight with Sword Emperor, they got the news and rushed here. On the way, they had already heard the news. When they arrived at the Cangyang Country's imperial city, it was already under control.
At this time, they had to believe that all this was true.
Among them, the happiest one was Zhao Qingyun. As soon as he saw Long Chen, he didn't care about his image and laughed from ear to ear.
As soon as the people of Sky Devil Palace arrived, Long Chen left the throne room like the others. Then he said to Zhao Qingyun, "Long Chen pays his respects to Master."
"Good, good." Zhao Qingyun said the word 'good' again and again. It showed how excited he was in his heart.
Back then, when Long Chen had risen rapidly in the Heavenly Devil Palace in a frenzied manner, Zhao Qingyun had anticipated that such a day would come. In fact, he had only wanted to take in Long Chen for a while, but he had not expected that Long Chen would really reach his current realm.
