Chapter 322 - 321: Emperor’s Last Letter
Comparing with others can certainly be infuriating!
Seeing how adorable and clever Xin Lin is now, and then thinking about how Long Qingchen only knows how to cause trouble every day, Emperor Longteng couldn’t help feeling sorrowful.
Empress Feng stiffened her face. So, it’s her fault, is it? A growing resentment towards Xin Lin simmered in her heart.
"Angering Empress Feng, Heaven-defying Value +1..."
While Xin Lin was staring at the Dan Wood Furnace awaiting the rebirth of the "Cultivation Skill," she suddenly noticed a change in the Heaven-defying Book.
Another line of golden text appeared.
Hmm?
Xin Lin’s eyelids twitched.
She looked at the Heaven-defying Book again, "Angering Empress Feng, Heaven-defying Value +1," and the small text appeared once more.
"What’s going on here?"
Xin Lin was puzzled.
Every so often, the Heaven-defying Value would jump.
"Has Empress Feng, this seductive wretch, gone mad?"
Xin Lin laughed.
Watching the Heaven-defying Book, in just half an hour, the Heaven-defying Value increased by 3.
As time went on, the rate of increase in the Heaven-defying Value from angering Empress Feng slowed, but it was still increasing.
While Xin Lin was captivated by the Heaven-defying Book, changes were also happening in the Dan Wood Furnace.
In the Dan Wood Furnace, the pages of a tattered book were being burned to ashes.
But strangely, the characters on the pages did not disappear.
The words peeled off from the pages one by one, each emitting a glow like fireflies.
Inside the Dan Wood Furnace, the characters danced and recombined.
The original "Royal Garden Cultivation Techniques" was reassembled, the same characters but in a different order, altered to something completely new.
Xin Lin was completely unaware of what was happening inside the Dan Wood Furnace.
Just then, as Xin Lin wondered about the reasons for Empress Feng’s anger, the Dan Wood Furnace emitted a "ding," a clear and pleasant sound.
Knowing the Dan Wood Furnace, Xin Lin recognized this as a sign that the refinement was complete, and she shifted her gaze away from the Heaven-defying Book.
Lifting the lid of the Dan Wood Furnace, a page of paper was expelled.
Xin Lin glanced at the page.
"Spirit Taming Technique"
Xin Lin was taken aback. Looking at the few lines of small text on the leaf, the writing seemed more and more familiar.
"I am Long Chan, Longteng Taizong, who lived for ninety-nine years, spent my days with flowers, plants, and trees, despised by the Imperial Family..."
Xin Lin had a sudden realization—weren’t these the writings of Longteng Taizong, considered the most useless Emperor in Longteng history?
Xin Lin had a good memory. With a fleeting glance earlier, she had memorized the handwriting.
Captain Yang had mentioned that this Taizong was unlearned and devoted his life only to planting and gardening, a famously mediocre Emperor in Longteng Country, barely mentioned in history books.
However, Gui Hu said that this book possessed the Emperor’s Fortune.
Those who can gather auspicious energy must be either a great sage of the age or a strong cultivator; an average Human Emperor obviously could not gather such energy. Unless... he had always played the fool, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, in truth a formidable Human Emperor!
A thought crossed Xin Lin’s mind.
She quickly reviewed it again.
"The founder said, the sovereign is adept at controlling people. I have no desire to be a sovereign, yet I was born into the royal family. I detest the company of monarchs and ministers, the deceit and trickery of the harem. I would rather spend my life making friends with grass, trees, insects, and fish. I leave behind for posterity the Spirit Taming Technique, which is divided into Beginner, Master, and Ultimate levels. The Beginner can control the insects and animals of the world, the Master the Five Spirits of nature, and the Ultimate, Heaven and Earth and the intangible."
The three parts of the Spirit Taming Technique leaped upon the page.
Xin Lin read it all in one breath, her heart surging with excitement, yet the single page in her hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
