Capítulo 1085: Chapter 576: I Want to Be Emperor! (3)
Chen Yuan’s first encounter with a Demon Dao demon was with soone from the No-Life Sect, naturally gaining so insight into this rapidly growing force. In just a few decades, it has beco a renowned major Demon Dao sect.
Their influence spreads across the Southern regions, with many attempts by the court to eradicate them proving fruitless, as if the more they were attacked, the stronger they beca. No one knows the true identity of the No-Life Sect’s leader.
All that’s known are the chants like “No-Life Mother,” “No-Life Ancestor,” shouted by the No-Life Sect demons.
Among them, multiple Dan Realm Masters exist, so even revealing themselves to be at the Yang Transformation Level.
“Your thinking is….”
“Jingtai is over fifty years old now and has been ruling for many years. Back then, he was just an unfavored prince. If considered this way, his rise coincides with the No-Life Sect’s ergence in the Jianghu.”
This is sothing Chen Yuan pondered deeply a while ago. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it beca.
“But, what could be his purpose in doing this?”
This question is perplexing. Jiang He can only harbor suspicions in such a short ti.
After all, the Emperor commands the entire realm, with influence spreading throughout the land, owning the richest cultivation resources — anything he desires is within reach. Why collaborate with the No-Life Sect?
If this matter leaks out, the whole world would be shocked, and he could not possibly hold onto his throne.
Under normal circumstances, no rational person would engage in such a risky endeavor.
Chen Yuan gave a mysterious smile and gazed at Jiang He, saying:
“Everyone knows, after Great Jin was founded, the Emperor cannot attain longevity; the national destiny suppresses the Emperor, making cultivation impossible, unable to sense Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, let alone Core Formation or Yang Transformation.
Yet, Jingtai is acclaid as the Sima Royal Family’s top genius, who through sheer talent attained Heavenly Core cultivation, gaining a lifespan of three jiazi. However… if his talent were truly unparalleled, wouldn’t the Sima Royal Family’s clan recognize it?
They’d surely guide him toward Martial Arts, not as a Human World Emperor. After all, one more Yang God True Monarch would make the Sima family’s throne even more stable.
Therefore, I suspect Jingtai’s Heavenly Core cultivation might be related to this issue!”
Despite the calmness in Chen Yuan’s voice, it contained a compelling force, causing Jiang He to furrow his brows and also consider this possibility.
“That’s possible.”
“I think there’s a good chance.”
“Why are you telling all this?”
Jiang He’s eyes flickered, vaguely guessing Chen Yuan’s purpose, since when he was in the Capital earlier, this topic had been touched upon during exchanges through the Heavenly Book.
But at that ti, Chen Yuan didn’t elaborate, it was rely conjecture.
Now, spurred by this issue, so much is unearthed; clearly sothing isn’t right.
“Brother Jiang should have guessed.”
Chen Yuan’s face broke into a smile, while Jiang He, though sparing with words and rather cold, had plenty of thoughts — an exterior coolness with inner warmth.
“Since you ca to , you should speak clearly.”
Jiang He lightly sipped his chilled tea, directly eting his gaze.
“I hope Brother Jiang would, during this ti together with the other Daoists of the Taoist Divine Palace, assist in wholeheartedly investigating this matter. The No-Life Sect is strong in the South, and their base might be there.
The Taoist Divine Palace is also powerful and might uncover the truth.”
“And then?”
“Then?” Chen Yuan sneered slightly:
“Then I will have leverage and reason. As long as this matter is exposed, that old Jingtai must step down. Once montum is gained, chaos will ensue!
Our Taoist Divine Palace’s opportunity will arrive.”
“Isn’t that a bit ambitious?”
“I want to kill Jingtai, and seek to restore absolute peace in the world—this requires a legitimate pretext, so the matter must be thoroughly investigated.”
“Are you not considering returning to the Capital within a year?”
The news travels quickly in the Capital; naturally, he knows about this matter.
“I’ll return.”
“Oh?”
“Didn’t we discuss the plan to seize a bride in the Capital, while taking care of major affairs directly—wouldn’t that be advantageous?”
“Such courage.”
“Haha…..”
“Once this matter is exposed and you kill Jingtai, then what do you wish to do?”
“It’s not about my wishes; it’s what the Taoist Divine Palace wants. You’ve been part of the Taoist Divine Palace longer than I have, and you know the intentions of the other Daoists and senior Moluo.
To counterattack Spirit Mountain, this strength isn’t enough, unless united forces gather from across the world; only the Supre has the privilege to rally the strong across the realm.”
“You want to ascend to that position?”
Jiang He gazed at him.
“Who wouldn’t? To be the Supre of the entire realm, to decree through divine edict, words manifest as law, claiming a vast territory, commanding respect across the world,” Chen Yuan answered in a firm voice.
This is his first ti openly revealing his ambitions to Jiang He.
“You think Jingtai has such capability?” Listening to Chen Yuan’s aspirations of divine edict and reverence, Jiang He found it amusing.
A throne alone couldn’t achieve these feats, only strength could accomplish them.
“That’s because he’s inept, and the Sima family has excessive restrictions; wanting to centralize is a slow reclaiming of power—none of the major Immortal Sects fear the court, and he indeed lacks such prestige.”
“Are you implying you can do better?”
“Without trying, how will I know? Life is too short to stay submissive. It’s about ascending the summit, truly controlling one’s destiny,”
Chen Yuan’s gaze was deep, at this mont, as if an imnse majesty enveloped him.
“Do you covet worldly imperial power as well?”
“If heaven offers it, not accepting it would be folly. When the ti cos, sitting on that throne will be inevitable.”
“You’ve seen the outcos of Jingtai and several Sima emperors. As an Emperor, the national destiny suppresses—don’t you desire everlasting life and freedom?”
Jiang He queried.
“Do you know of Chu Taizu Yu?”
“I know.”
“When he beca the common lord of the world, there was no impact; this isn’t as simple as it seems.”
“Have you decided?”
“Decided long ago, otherwise, why do you think I nurture a private army at Tangshan? Why do you think I risk everything to gain reputation in Liangzhou?
Jiang He remained silent, eyes reflective.
“Old Jiang.”
“Hmm?”
“Help .”
“Alright!”
