They left the quiet room and arrived at the tower’s high platform.
The sounds of the world suddenly magnified, the wind, the rustling of leaves, and the playful noises from afar, all entering their ears.
Wisps of spiritual mist brushed against their faces, the refreshing air exhilarating.
With it ca a few white cranes.
Originally, so were circling in the sky, and two were resting on one leg on the high platform.
At this point, they all began to gather towards here.
The Empress smiled.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Miaotan in wonder.
He could tell that Li Miaotan was the target of these white cranes.
It was a kind of mysterious sensing.
Li Miaotan waved her jade hand.
The dozen or so white cranes that had been gathering once again flew away gracefully into the sky.
At this, the Empress and Ning Suzhen also noticed the anomaly.
The Empress snorted.
Li Miaotan smiled at her smugly.
The Empress rolled her eyes at her.
Ning Suzhen exclaid in surprise, "What is this?"
"Bloodline power," the Empress said irritably. "A hundred birds salute the Phoenix."
Ning Suzhen praised, "This Phoenix bloodline is indeed extraordinary, so many anomalies have already appeared."
"These are just small tricks," the Empress said. "Ultimately, it’s about cultivation. Without becoming a Spirit Venerable, the bloodline is aningless."
"Got it," Li Miaotan snorted.
Ning Suzhen laughed, "Once the Phoenix bloodline is activated, it’s easier to step into being a Spirit Venerable."
The Empress said, "The Phoenix bloodline will let her live longer, but whether she succeeds depends on her own fate."
Chu Zhiyuan sensed the wonders of the Phoenix bloodline.
The venerable power within Li Miaotan’s body had disappeared.
Not only had her injuries healed completely, but she was even stronger than before. Just this point alone, the Phoenix bloodline is potent enough.
Now, in her own perception, there was a blazing Phoenix shadow behind her.
This Phoenix shadow was majestic, seemingly one with the heavens and the earth.
It might be similar to the Heavenly Dragon Introduction, with the Phoenix shadow continuously gathering power for her.
If so, her potential is boundless.
He looked towards the direction of Tonghe Hall in the Imperial Palace, the Emperor should be discussing state affairs there.
Yet he remained so calm.
The sound of the Phoenix’s cry was unique, spreading throughout the entire Imperial Palace, heard by all.
The Emperor should know the Phoenix bloodline was activated, yet he did not co to take a look.
Clearly, the Emperor was long prepared.
Standing on the high platform overlooking the back garden, the lake shimred with countless jewels.
A number of colorful beauties had already gathered by the lake, frequently looking this way.
All of them were beautiful, dressed differently, like flowers vying for attention.
Indeed, people were more beautiful than flowers.
Ning Suzhen laughed, "Your Majesty, it seems everyone has received the news."
The Empress said, "Ignore them."
Li Miaotan said, "Mother, since the Imperial Concubines want to see , let them watch."
The Empress irritably said, "They are idle all day, any little commotion and they co forward."
These Imperial Concubines didn’t know that Li Miaotan had been injured, the news had been sealed off.
They knew today was the day she returned ho, so they waited to watch the drama.
The Empress knew that these Imperial Concubines did not sincerely wish Li Miaotan well, nor that the Prince Consort be pleased and satisfied.
They all wished for the couple to turn against each other, with Li Miaotan weeping bitterly.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Mother, should I avoid suspicion?"
The Empress said, "Just as well, they need to avoid suspicion too, so no need for them to co."
Li Miaotan shook her head.
Ning Suzhen said, "Your Majesty, should the matter of the bloodline be announced?"
"Hmm." The Empress nodded.
Once the Phoenix bloodline awakens, from now on Li Miaotan will not fear assassination and the like.
She has an undying body, unless her lifespan runs out otherwise, she cannot be killed.
Even if her body is shattered into pieces, it is useless.
This is the strength and dominance of the Phoenix bloodline, beyond imagination, defying common logic.
But such ancient bloodlines originally defy the laws of heaven and earth.
...
In the evening, the setting sun casts its remaining glow over the Imperial City.
Lanterns begin to light up.
The streets and alleys of the Imperial City are bustling and clamorous.
Restaurants are beginning to fill with people, so quiet, so noisy.
Chu Zhiyuan cos to Wenhua Building again.
Passing through the bustling first floor and the quiet second floor, he goes directly to the top third floor.
He opens the door to an elegant room on the third floor, turns to close it, and looks helplessly at the handso middle-aged man opposite: "Uncle Nine, don’t et so frequently, it’s too conspicuous."
As the Prince Consort, he doesn’t need to run outside twice a day.
This is lest others not know he is connecting with a spy from the Jade Dynasty.
The handso middle-aged man opposite has a solemn expression and says in a deep voice, "The Twelfth Prince’s Phoenix bloodline has been activated?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Has Uncle Nine received the news?"
"This news has already spread throughout the entire Imperial City!" The handso middle-aged man said irritably, "Even if I were deaf, I’d have heard it!"
"Is Uncle Nine suspecting it was ?"
Chu Zhiyuan sat down, poured himself a cup of wine, and also poured one for him.
Sipping the wine lightly, he lazily looked at Chu Hongwei, who was disguised as the handso middle-aged man, and smiled, "Uncle Nine, your Disguise Technique is becoming increasingly impressive."
Every ti he interacted with Chu Hongwei, he could feel the power of this certain Miracle Technique of his.
Not only did it change appearances, but altered aura, even gestures, heartbeat, and breathing frequency.
To top masters, even breathing and heartbeat frequencies could be heard.
If soone was attentive, or had a good mory, they’d spot the flaw at once.
"What’s going on?" Chu Hongwei asked.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Today I went to see the Empress, and the Empress bestowed Ice Soul Purple Ganoderma, directly awakening the Phoenix bloodline."
"Ice Soul Purple Ganoderma..." Chu Hongwei frowned, "Was it because of this?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Does Uncle Nine know about the Ice Soul Purple Ganoderma?"
"I’ve heard of it, never thought it could actually be obtained." Chu Hongwei said, "Your wife’s luck is truly astonishing..."
He shook his head with emotion, "This brings big trouble."
"The Phoenix bloodline can potentially achieve Spirit Venerable, but it’s not guaranteed." Chu Zhiyuan said, "In the short term, it won’t be useful, nor threaten the Jade Dynasty."
"The key is confidence, is morale," Chu Hongwei lanted, "The Phoenix Dynasty’s fortune is flourishing."
As the saying goes, what goes up, must co down, and they’ve been waiting for the Phoenix Dynasty to decline.
But now, it seems, the current Phoenix Dynasty is not at its peak, it will continue to surge upward.
The Jade Dynasty and Yuanzhen Association will be even more stifled, unable to turn the tide.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Our Jade Dynasty might not fail to produce Spirit Venerables, maybe two or three might erge at once, reversing the situation."
"Hey! You dare to think," Chu Hongwei said irritably, "You can still laugh!"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Does this matter bla ? I can’t snatch the Ice Soul Purple Ganoderma and eat it myself, can I? Besides, I had no opportunity."
Chu Hongwei said, "In any case, you won’t have a good outco, the Elder Brother aside, the court ministers will surely all be unanimously criticizing you."
Chu Zhiyuan said with a cold smile, "Have they forgotten who is a prince, and who are courtiers?"
Chu Hongwei sighed, "Anyway, be careful yourself, fortunately, Miss You Lan has co."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "If Aunt You Lan didn’t co, would I be targeted in Yujing Imperial City? Their courage has grown?!"
Chu Hongwei shook his head, "Who knows,... your future days will be more difficult, assassinations will be endless, be careful."
Assassinations target him to prevent the awakening of the Phoenix bloodline.
The Phoenix bloodline has been activated, they will not stop; if they cannot kill Li Miaotan, they will target Chu Zhiyuan.
This could create a Heart Demon for Li Miaotan, preventing her from advancing to a higher realm.
Chu Zhiyuan said with a cold smile, "Is Father satisfied now? Is he playing at killing with a borrowed knife, using the Demon Clan and Demon Clan’s hands to kill ?"
"Hush!" Chu Hongwei hurriedly interrupted him, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Chu Zhiyuan laughed coldly.
Chu Hongwei sighed, "You father and son... anyways, be careful."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Thank you, Uncle Nine, I shall take my leave."
He drained his cup of wine, cupped his hands and left, going to et You Lan.
