The war between the countries of the continent was still ongoing. The flames of war were rising higher and higher. Every country was trying to annex the entire continent and become the supreme heaven's pride.
The situation was pressing. In the following month, Cheng Jin seized every moment to set up the Ten Thousand Position Ring Spirit Formation. Lin Fan implemented the new policies while persistently cultivating. At the same time, he was also observing Snow Tyrant's situation.
Snow Tyrant was also paying attention to Lin Fan's actions. After Lin Fan took control of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, not only did he not kill, he also implemented some benevolent policies. For example, he reduced taxes, no longer increased the number of soldiers from the poor. He also implemented some new policies that benefited the country and the people, allowing the people of the Heavenly Wolf Empire to live and work in peace and contentment.
Lin Fan's new policies and the tyranny of the Heavenly Wolf Empire formed a sharp contrast. The new policies were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone admired and respected them.
The entire Heavenly Wolf Empire praised Lin Fan's new policies. They even arranged Lin Fan's deeds and achievements into folk songs that were sung everywhere.
When Snow Tyrant saw this, she was greatly surprised. At the same time, her impression of Lin Fan changed. Very quickly, she forgot about her father's death. Even now, she felt a burst of hatred and disdain for her father's previous tyranny.
She felt that Lin Fan was indeed an emissary sent by God. He saved her and the people of the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
Moreover, after Lin Fan became the new ruler of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, he did not build a luxurious palace on a large scale. He also did not expand the harem. Instead, he worried about the country's affairs day and night and diligently cultivated. This made Snow Tyrant very respectful.
Moreover, the fallen princess Snow Tyrant still had a revered status in the palace. She enjoyed the treatment of a princess and no one dared to bully her.
Snow Tyrant understood that all of this was secretly arranged by Lin Fan. Otherwise, as a fallen princess.
What awaited her was either death.
Or she would become a slave and suffer endless torture and humiliation.
On this day, out of gratitude, Tyrant Moon Tingxue took the initiative to look for Lin Fan.
She was wearing a pink rose-scented tight-fitting robe with long sleeves and an emerald green skirt with scattered flowers. Her waist was tied into a large bow with a soft golden silk ribbon. Her hair was hanging low with a jasper phoenix hairpin inserted into it.
It was a yellow Bi Xia Luo embroidered with a phoenix.
She was wearing a pink dress that trailed on the ground, and her arm was wrapped in a soft silk gauze.
Her skin was smooth and moist like a warm jade, and her lips were red without any lipstick. She was tender and beautiful, and the two strands of hair on her cheeks were gently brushing against her face with the wind, adding a bit of seductive charm. Her nimble eyes were moving intelligently, and she was wearing a light green dress.
Her slender waist was so small that it could be held in one hand. Her beauty was so flawless, so beautiful that she did not eat the food of mortals.
Lin Fan sized up Tyrant Moon Tingxue.
Somewhat dazed for a moment, Tyrant Moon Tingxue was slightly embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, "Your, Your Majesty, Tingxue came today to thank you."
Lin Fan came out of his daze and waved his hand. "Don't call me that. You can call me by my name.
This is more intimate. "
"I don't dare." Tyrant Moon Tingxue said as if she was a mosquito. "Tingxue thanks Your Majesty for not being able to kill.
I would also like to thank Your Majesty for taking care of Ting Xue. "
Lin Fan waved his hand. "Tingxue, there's no need to be polite.
You didn't commit suicide.
You still don't hate me. This proves that you can see the big picture and keep your promises. Then you should understand that if the Heavenly Wolf Empire was still under your father's control, the people of the Heavenly Wolf Empire would definitely not be as happy as they are now, nor would they be in good health. Now that all the countries are at war, the Heavenly Wolf Empire will inevitably be caught in the flames of war. If the Heavenly Wolf Empire falls into the hands of others and the new ruler is replaced, it's hard to guarantee that the new ruler will treat the people as well as I do … "
Tyrant Moon Tingxue was an extremely intelligent person. She had long understood what Lin Fan had said. So at this time, she was sincerely convinced and bowed to Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan saw this, he muttered to himself, "Did this Princess Tingxue grow up eating papayas?"
Lin Fan's muttering was not important, but Tyrant Moon Tingxue heard it. Tyrant Moon Tingxue knew that Lin Fan was talking about her, but she did not hear clearly. She lowered her eyes shyly and asked, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"
"Uh, I mean, do you usually like eating papayas?"
Tyrant Moon Tingxue raised her beautiful eyes slightly and smiled. "Yes, I like eating papayas …"
"Uh, so it's like that." Lin Fan said. "Since you like eating papayas, then stay here to eat. I'll have someone prepare a table of papayas for you to eat."
Tyrant Moon Tingxue nodded happily. "Since Your Majesty treats Tingxue so generously, then Tingxue will respectfully accept."
"Good, sit down first. I'll go tell the jade kitchen to prepare a papayas feast."
After saying that, Lin Fan went to the jade kitchen.
Seeing the Emperor's sudden arrival, everyone in the jade kitchen was so scared that they knelt on the ground, thinking that something big had happened. The jade kitchen was not owned by the Emperor. Even if there was a cleaning job, it would be done by the Minister of Internal Affairs.
Lin Fan's appearance was too abnormal. It would be strange if they were not scared.
Lin Fan waved his hand to indicate for them to get up, then called the jade kitchen over. He took out a blood lotus and gave it to him. After giving him some instructions, the manager obeyed and knelt down to bid farewell to Lin Fan.
…
Soon, a sumptuous papayas feast was placed on the table.
There was papaya white fungus soup, papaya almond jelly, papaya chicken fillet, papaya white fungus lily soup, papaya pork rib soup, papaya bird's nest, papaya milk …
Looking at the table full of papaya dishes, Tyrant Moon Tingxue was very happy. She was also very hungry. How would she know that there was snow lotus in these papaya dishes?
Snow lotus was a great supplement to qi and blood. It had a shy nature. If eaten too much, the body would heat up. Although it would not explode to death, it would make a woman lose her composure.
…
…
Afterwards, Tyrant Moon Tingxue was very ashamed. She did not understand how she had become like that. However, things had already come to this point. What was done could not be undone. She could only accept her fate. It was just that her emotions would inevitably fluctuate. After Lin Fan's consolation, she gradually calmed down.
Seeing that Tyrant Moon Tingxue was still a virgin, Lin Fan cherished her even more. The next day, he removed her title of princess and conferred her the title of empress — — Heavenly Wolf Empire's empress, the mother of the world.
After Heavenly Wolf Tyrant Moon knew of this, he would definitely be so angry that he would hover between life and death again.
From a princess to an empress, Tyrant Moon Tingxue's feelings were complicated. However, she did not regret it. As a woman, marrying was a matter of time. As a princess, she naturally would not marry a commoner. Because with her status and appearance, marrying a commoner would be a disaster. Not only would she harm herself, she would also harm others.
Marrying Lin Fan was her best destination.
Because only Lin Fan could protect her.
Now, she had a title and also obtained Lin Fan's favor.
If it was another woman, perhaps she would be secretly happy!
… …
Not only did Lin Fan successfully conquer the Heavenly Wolf Empire, but he also married the princess of the Heavenly Wolf Empire as his wife. It could be said that he had obtained both the country and the beauty, the best of both worlds.
Under Lin Fan's domination, the Heavenly Wolf Empire's national strength suddenly increased and deterred the surrounding countries. Some of the weaker countries around the Heavenly Wolf Empire surrendered and were willing to submit to Lin Fan. They were willing to become a vassal state of the Heavenly Wolf Empire and pay tribute to the Heavenly Wolf Empire every year.
Of course, there was also a country that was not tactful. Since there were strong people in the country, not only did they refuse to submit, their attitude was very tough, and they were determined to fight against Lin Fan.
This country was the State of Qin.
The State of Qin was not a strong country.
However, there was an Immortal Emperor level character in the State of Qin called Chi Bianyue.
Chi Bianyue's talent was not very high.
However, this person's will was firm and he cultivated hard.
It was said that he went into seclusion for ten years and lived for more than fifty years.
The time he spent in seclusion was longer than the time he did not.
Hard work paid off. This person was promoted to the Immortal Emperor at the age of sixty.
The Emperor of the State of Qin, the King of Qin, had Chi Bianyue as a support. The King of Qin did not put Lin Fan in his eyes and refused to surrender to the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
He intended to fight to the end.
Even secretly recruited the Immortal level masters and plotted to annex the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
Lin Fan had five hundred ten thousand ring spirit array. Five hundred ten thousand ring spirit array can urge five hundred Immortals. What is the concept of five hundred Immortals?
Not to mention one Immortal Emperor, even ten Immortal Emperors can be pulled into the water.
Therefore, Lin Fan naturally would not put Chi Bianyue in his eyes. According to the step-by-step method of fighting, the State of Qin was his next goal.
However, before attacking the State of Qin, Lin Fan still decided.
First, he would improve his Qi Refining Cultivation Base and reach the Immortal Realm. If his Qi Refining Cultivation Base reaches the Immortal Realm.
Then, his comprehensive strength will have the power to fight with the Immortal Emperor.
There is a more important point, that is, the Emperor of the Continent Empire can only be competent with the Immortal Realm cultivator. Anyway, a hundred years ago, this has been the unchanging treaty of the continent.
It was not until a hundred years ago that this rule was broken. But.
If anyone ascends the throne without reaching the Immortal Realm, he will be despised.
Lin Fan's cultivation base.
It is not in line with his status, which makes him feel that he is a fake Emperor.
And now he is the Emperor of two countries, secretly dominating the political power of four countries, which is equivalent to the Monarch of four countries.
A Yuanying Realm cultivator is completely inconsistent with the identity of the Monarch of four countries, which inevitably makes the world unconvinced.
Therefore, promoting to the Immortal Realm is imperative!
However, the Nine Elephants Realm is a level, a bottleneck, to promote to the Immortal Realm, some understanding is needed, not enough cultivation resources can be broken through.
Lin Fan's Qi Refining has been stuck in the Nine Elephants Realm and can't break through. This can't be blamed on his stupidity. Although it is said that the master leads the way, the cultivation depends on the person. However, Lin Fan doesn't even have a master to lead the way, completely relying on himself to explore, which is a bit like a blind man touching an elephant.
It is inevitable to be stuck in a bottleneck.
This night.
Lin Fan and his Empress, Tyrant Moon Tingxue, said some words of love before going to bed. Lin Fan thought of cultivation and asked, "Tingxue, did you have a good relationship with your father before?"
"Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Tyrant Moon Tingxue now avoids her father, Tyrant Moon Heavenly Wolf, especially in front of Lin Fan, she deliberately does not mention this father.
After all, her father was killed by Lin Fan.
"Just this once, I won't mention him in the future." Lin Fan raised a finger and promised.
"My father is very good to me, I have always respected and loved him very much. He would come to accompany me in his free time, and I can also enter his residence as I wish … It's just that later on, in order to expand his power, he did not hesitate to collude with that Young Master Bai of the Demon Race, and even promised to marry me to that Young Master Bai. That's why I have an aversion to him." Tyrant Moon Tingxue said as she shook her head, her face filled with pain and sorrow.
"Okay, I'll ask one last question. How did your father break through to the Immortal Realm back then?" Lin Fan asked.
"I remember that before Father stepped into the Immortal Realm, he always meditated in front of a picture …"
"Oh?
What picture? "Lin Fan's eyes could not help but light up.
"I just happened to catch a glimpse and didn't pay too much attention to it. How about this, if you need, I'll go to Father's palace to look for it."
As Tyrant Moon Tingxue said this, he sat up on the bed and turned his back to Lin Fan. After putting on his clothes, Tyrant Moon Tingxue saw that Lin Fan was looking at him. He rolled his eyes and said, "Wait for me."
Lin Fan also swiftly put on his clothes, saying, "I'll go with you."
Tyrant Moon Tingxue did not refuse.
The two people went to Tyrant Moon Wolf's palace together. Tyrant Moon Tingxue knew that Tyrant Moon Wolf liked to put his treasures in his palace, so the two people went in and carefully searched.
Because of his divine sense, Tyrant Moon Tingxue very quickly found that picture. It was a very large picture, woven from brocade, embroidered with a pattern of a true dragon. The true dragon's body was inlaid with many pearls, like countless bright lights connected together.
Counting, there were as many as forty-nine pearls. The pearls flickered endlessly in the dark night, and flowed according to an inexplicable trajectory.
Lin Fan's eyes lit up, feeling that it was extremely magical.
He asked Tyrant Moon Tingxue, "Tingxue, are you sure that your father comprehended from this picture?"
"That's right, it's this picture. My father comprehended from this picture for close to four years. Sometimes, he would even breathe in front of this picture." Tyrant Moon Tingxue said.
Hearing this, Lin Fan was somewhat pleasantly surprised, so he spread the picture on the ground and carefully observed it. After a while of observation, Lin Fan discovered the profoundness within:
The pearls inlaid on the dragon's body flowed according to a regular pattern, very much like the circulation of spiritual energy in the meridians. Ordinary practitioners would definitely follow this kind of trajectory to practice and experiment again and again, and finally fall into this strange cycle, unable to extricate themselves.
In fact, that Tyrant Moon Wolf was deeply trapped in this strange cycle for four years without being able to break through.
Because the circulation of the pearls had nothing to do with the circulation of the meridians and spiritual energy. It only implied a principle.
Because Lin Fan's cultivation and advancement did not rely on the conventional method of opening the meridians, but relied on the Flying Demon Droplet to transform spiritual energy. Therefore, he did not think that the circulation of the pearls was the circulation of the meridians, and luckily avoided this misconception, and did not fall into that strange cycle. In addition, he had the experience of comprehending the Dao before, so he quickly understood the circulation of the pearls, and the true meaning contained within.
The circulation of the pearls' radiance was not very smooth, but when it encountered an obstacle, it would always be incomparably domineering and break through all obstacles. Furthermore, its speed would become faster and faster, as if it was accumulating power and breaking through everything, giving people the feeling that it would sweep through all countries, and pacify the world.
From this, Lin Fan comprehended the True Dragon's Intent.
The True Dragon's Intent was a sovereign descending upon the world, tyrannical and powerful. If one wanted to become an Immortal, at every moment, there must be a kind of supremacy in one's heart.
…
After comprehending the True Dragon's Intent, Lin Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, preparing to break through the bottleneck. Seeing that Lin Fan was about to break through, Tyrant Moon Listening Snow did not disturb him, and quietly walked to the side to guard him.
Taking out the Flying Demon Droplet from the Sumeru Ring, he attached it to the Flying Demon Droplet and began absorbing it.
Suck suck suck suck …
When a large pile of high-grade pills were completely absorbed, the Flying Demon Droplet was like a person who had eaten his fill, constantly expanding and contracting, and was sucked into his body. Suddenly, the spiritual energy in his body exploded, condensing into an elephant, and the elephant qi formed the embryonic shape of a thunder god statue above his dantian.
After seeing the speed at which Lin Fan refined the pills, Tyrant Moon Listening Snow was indescribably shocked, and stared at him with abnormal shock.
She was also a cultivator, and knew that those were high-grade pills. High-grade pills were extremely slow to refine. For example, she herself, with her cultivation at the fifth stage of the True Immortal Realm, needed a month's time to refine a high-grade pill. Even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would need a week's time.
However, Lin Fan refined and absorbed them in a short period of time, and it was not just one, but a large pile, no less than a thousand pills.
