Chapter 478 - 250, Grand Ancestor is the True Dragon, while the rest of the Emperors are just pseudo dragons_3
Inside Fengling, there were only two Clothes Tombs, which were broken anyway.
As for his son, Emperor Xu Zhang of Kaiming, although his body had been thrown outside the imperial coffin, he had already reburied it, and it wasn’t something he dwelled on.
Of course, killing the murderer and eradicating the root cause was still necessary. However, compared to seven days ago, his mood at this time had eased significantly.
Emperors and generals being grave-robbed and their coffins desecrated is not an unheard-of occurrence.
He just needed to accept it.
However, Nie Shu is a Sect manager, not an island-stationed cultivator, so it’s not easy to meet with her... Xu Xing frowned, pondering.
Though spoken idly, the words struck a chord.
King of Might had said Zhao Yunniang’s remains were missing. Perhaps she hadn’t died but had instead found an opportunity to embark on the Immortal Path...
Although he believed the likelihood of this was extremely slim, he couldn’t be certain without seeing her remains himself.
When he left the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, he had asked Nie Shu, one of Jiang Yan’s subordinates, to wait in the mortal world for Zhao Yunniang for twenty years. This was in case she changed her mind and was willing to embark on the Immortal Journey.
If Zhao Yunniang refused, the mission would conclude upon her death from old age.
But if Nie Shu had lied...
First, I need to investigate in Fengxi Country. Perhaps a record exists of Empress Dowager Zhao being given a Clothes Tomb burial...
Xu Xing took a deep breath.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he used his Divine Sense to close the coffins in the Side Tomb Chamber of Fengling and meticulously arranged the Burial Goods.
Once everything was restored, he transformed into an Escaping Light and returned to Shenjing.
「Two days later.」
Shenjing, Zhouwang Residence.
Leveraging the reputation he had built previously as a fortune-telling master, Xu Xing easily infiltrated the residence of this Xu Family prince.
Prince Zhou was the third son of Empress Dowager Li and the biological brother of the current Emperor Xiaochang.
"Your Highness, there’s a darkness about your brow, and you’ve been drowsy all day. These symptoms are similar to those Emperor Guangwen exhibited before his passing..."
"According to my observations, this is due to a mishap with Fengxi Country’s national fortune, which caused the previous ruler’s demise. Your Highness, as one of the potential heirs to the throne, has also been afflicted by this misfortune..."
After examining Prince Zhou in the master bedroom, Xu Xing shook his head and said solemnly.
The moment his words fell, Prince Zhou’s attendants immediately paled, drew their knives and swords, and pointed them at Xu Xing.
"You charlatan! How dare you spout such nonsense in front of His Highness!"
"What change in national fortune?"
"If the national fortune had truly changed, wouldn’t the current Emperor know? Wouldn’t the Zaifu know? Wouldn’t the Empress Dowager know?" these guards berated him.
However, after their outburst, the guards didn’t press the attack. Instead, they watched Xu Xing with apprehension, their knife-wielding arms trembling slightly.
They had witnessed this Daoist Priest’s abilities.
Walking on air!
Shattering Gold with a single finger!
Such legendary Divine Powers, attributed to Immortals, had all been demonstrated by this Daoist Priest.
"You are all merely ignorant. Whether you believe me or not is irrelevant. As long as Prince Zhou believes me, that is sufficient," Xu Xing smiled faintly.
Over the past few days, he had used his Daoist arts to plague Prince Zhou with a series of nightmares, all depicting the ruin of the country and the fall of his house.
Now, by mentioning a "change in national fortune," he left Prince Zhou with little choice but to believe him.
"Master... what is the cause of this change in national fortune? Is there a solution?" Upon hearing this, Prince Zhou waved his hand, motioning for the guards to withdraw, and then asked.
"Does Your Highness know that the Founding Emperor was given a burial of only clothes and regalia?"
"The Founding Emperor was a True Dragon; other Emperors are merely pseudo dragons. It is only because of the True Dragon’s presence that Flood Dragons can transform into dragons and rule the world."
"However, because the imperial burials consist only of clothes and regalia, the national fortune is insufficient to be properly anchored. The resulting backlash has led to the premature deaths of previous Emperors, the critical illness of the current Emperor, and Your Highness also showing signs of an early demise..." Xu Xing pondered for a moment and said.
