Chapter 829 - 77: Exterminating the Buddhists (Part 1)

In the palace of Shu, there was a beauty, surnamed Xu, known to the world as Lady Huarui.

Her face was like morning dew on creamy skin, brows akin to distant mountains veiled in blue; when her eyes turned, they resembled spring waters reflecting peach blossoms. Her cloud-like hair was piled high, dazzling though unadorned with gold ornaments; her graceful hands prepared ice, rivaling the blush of dawn without rouge powder. She excelled in the dance of Neishang, and when she moved with flowing sleeves, she seemed like a startled swan reflecting in the water; her lotus steps softly shifted, secretly carrying the scent of orchids and musk.

Mohe Pond.

Under the illumination of the crystal palace lamps, Duncan slowly rose and walked to the couch, while Lu Qiongxi outside the side hall heard the motion and led two women, Meiquan and Meiyang, forward with several palace attendants. Lu Qiongxi wore a plain white gown, her three thousand strands of hair coiled up, no underwear beneath, her faintly visible pristine figure accompanied by the kneeling Meiquan and Meiyang who attended to Duncan's attire, and she stepped forward to fasten the jade belt, whispering, "Your Majesty."

"Are you not yet satisfied?"

"There are still some well-trained beautiful palace attendants."

At this quiet late night, Lu Qiongxi glanced at Lady Huarui, who had fallen into deep sleep with a face like red clouds and thought to herself that she must teach her some martial arts in the future, otherwise, it would be difficult for her to fully please Your Majesty.

As she spoke, she gestured to Meiquan and Meiyang beside her, the two face lit with joy.

"No need."

At this moment, Duncan spoke up: "You should change your attire; later, accompany me out for a walk."

Indeed, Lady Huarui was as her name suggested, truly like a budding flower.

This woman, with skin of ice and bones of jade, also had a faint body fragrance, no wonder she captivated two successive kings, yet Duncan now tightened his trousers confidently, his eyes were as deep as ancient wells, and thought to himself that she was nothing special but worthy of occasional favor.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms era, one beauty, Lady Huarui, was taken by Zhao Kuangyin, and one Xiaozhou Empress, was taken by Zhao Guangyi.

Lady Huarui was shot dead by Zhao Guangyi, and Xiaozhou Empress almost met the same fate at his hands.

That said, Zhao Guangyi certainly was a ruthless man destructive to flowers.

Hmm.

Such a ruthless man should naturally have his head taken by Duncan himself in the future.

Duncan rose and walked out of the crystal palace, soon Lu Qiongxi also changed her attire and hurriedly followed, the two wandered through the streets and alleys of Chengdu along Mohe Pond, in the quiet late night, Duncan's figure took to the air, gliding swiftly, Lu Qiongxi was surprised and followed rapidly using her skills.

When Duncan's figure halted, she knelt and congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for achieving great mastery of divine skills!"

Soaring to the skies.

Just now when Duncan used his skills, there was no longer the previous powerful Qi force impact, but he floated like Magneto, imperceptible of true Qi fluctuations, which already surpassed the Dao Sect's cloud walking technique, as if with his thought, the world's gravity disappeared.

"No need for ceremony."

Duncan glanced lightly at Lu Qiongxi beside him, calmly saying: "I know you undervalue yourself, not daring to claim credit."

"But I never care about such matters."

"I remember your contributions as well."

Lu Qiongxi had an extremely poor reputation among the people, and many were hostile towards her, for she was originally the female chamberlain during Liu Chang's reign, mockingly called the three dynasty veteran among the populace, but Duncan did not care about these things, the King of Kings' magnanimity could accommodate a woman as long as she was useful.

Hearing Duncan's words, Lu Qiongxi knelt again, her head buried deep, her voice trembling: "I dare not claim credit."

"This humble concubine only wishes to serve Your Majesty with my meager strength."

"When the world is at peace someday,"

"This humble concubine can also wash away the past sins."

Duncan gently lifted his hand, raising the kneeling Lu Qiongxi into the air, he gazed at the bright moon overhead, turning his back to the woman as he softly said: "Today I have glimpsed the third realm of the Great Wisdom Love Sutra, the wondrous emptiness."

As he spoke, he reached towards a nearby peach branch with his hand, a section of the short branch fell into his palm, Duncan injected True Yuan to stimulate it, and under Lu Qiongxi's shocked gaze, the peach branch began to bloom, rapidly birthing several peach flowers.

This was already a divine technique!

Duncan appeared indifferent, plucked a flower with a smile, turning to Lu Qiongxi beside him and said: "Are you interested in going to see beyond the heavens with me?"

What?

Lu Qiongxi looked up in astonishment, seeing Duncan gesturing her, excitedly trembled and wrapped her arms around Duncan's firm waist.

Let's go!

Duncan tapped his toes, Qi force erupted, sending peach flowers fluttering, in an instant the figures of both soared into the air, the powerful airflow made it almost impossible for Lu Qiongxi to open her eyes, knowing that after following Duncan, she too was at the Half-step Dao Realm, nearing the breakthrough over that threshold.

To exaggerate further, those who followed Duncan, entering the Dao Realm was commonplace like wholesale purchase, naturally blessed by fate, many were stuck at the Half-step Dao threshold.

Some might have little hope of breakthrough in this lifetime, but some had the chance to attain enlightenment.

——Kunpeng Transformation.

Duncan's True Yuan was pushed to the limit, under the wondrous empty state, in the blink of an eye he flew thousands of meters high, he stepped on air to gain momentum, relying on abundant True Yuan to exchange energy, then explosively flew straight towards the lunar direction in the sky.

"Is Your Majesty planning to ascend with Xu Yun?" Lu Qiongxi was unaware of what was unfolding.

At this moment, from her perspective, Chengdu was gradually fading away, looking down from the sky, only Mohe Pond's crystal palace remained brightly lit, the two were almost three thousand meters high, the swirling fierce wind was intense, Duncan's protective True Qi expanded, enveloping Lu Qiongxi within.

If falling down from such height, even innate masters could turn into pulp.
