Chapter 225: Crazy Plan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Royal Palace of Chu.

Wu Yuehan sat opposite Xiang Feiyan.

The two of them were martial sisters and could be considered comrades.

“Senior Sister, I didn’t expect you to really ascend the throne and become an emperor.” Wu Yuehan sighed with emotion.

After all, no one in the upper echelons of the Flame God Sect thought highly of her.

Xiang Feiyan smiled. “It’s all thanks to Daqiang. Without him, I wouldn’t be able to sit on this throne.”

She looked at Wu Yuehan and said curiously, “Junior Sister, forgive me for being blunt, but I don’t think you have much admiration for Daqiang. Why do you come again and again?”

Wu Yuehua sighed and said, “I only have two goals in this life! First, to ascend to the Heaven Rank. Second, to give birth to an outstanding child.”

She said, “I won’t hide it from you, Senior Sister. Say, aren’t we women like this? Who doesn’t want their children to be more powerful?”

Xiang Feiyan frowned. “And then?”

Wu Yuehan said honestly, “I just want to have a child with Daqiang. You should have seen his combat strength. His talent is extremely outstanding. Furthermore, he helped you ascend to the throne. I think his strategy is not bad, right? Say, if you have a child with him, isn’t it better than having a child with a mediocre person?”

Xiang Feiyan was finally enlightened. So that was why she kept seeking Su Daqiang out.

Wu Yuehan continued, “It’s just that I didn’t succeed twice in a row. This time, I’ve made up my mind. I won’t return to the mountain gate either. I’ll wait for him in the capital. When he comes back, I won’t leave until I’m pregnant!”

“Hehe…” Xiang Feiyan laughed along with her.

However, she started pondering in her heart. It was fine if Wu Yuehan didn’t say anything, but now that she did, even she herself was tempted.

She thought of his son, Xiang Sheng, who was slow-witted like a wooden block at times. His talent in literature and martial arts was average…

If she could really give birth to an outstanding child like Su Wen…

Xiang Sheng never expected that his mother would have thoughts of giving birth to another child!

Now, Xiang Sheng had already been driven out of the palace and started his own residence.

He could be considered to be riding on the crest of success.

He was very happy because Xiang Feiyan only had him as her son. In his opinion, his right of inheritance was very stable.

He did not even need to worry about competing for the throne.

In addition, Su Wen left the capital again, and it was unknown when he would return.

With this, his worries were gone.

Furthermore, Xiang Sheng had been by Xiang Feiyan’s side since he was young. He had always been strictly controlled by her. Now that she had relaxed her control over him, he was overjoyed.

He did not practice or read any books all day and started fooling around.

For example, right now. It was already late in the morning, but he was still in bed with the two maidservants!

Originally, Xiang Feiyan did not think of her son, but after chatting with Wu Yuehan in the palace, she decided to visit him. After all, they had not seen each other for many days.

She rushed over to his residence, not knowing that Xiang Sheng was still asleep.

“Her Majesty has arrived!” A palace maid shouted.

Xiang Sheng bolted up with a shock.

But at this moment, Xiang Feiyan had already entered.

Xiang Sheng ran out in a panic and saw Xiang Feiyan standing in the courtyard with an angry expression!

He fell to his knees straight away.

“Greet.. Greetings, mother!” Xiang Sheng stammered.

Looking at him dressed in his pajamas, Xiang Feiyan said coldly, “Is there anyone else in the room?”

Two maids also came out of the room and knelt down.

“Hmph! You’re already obsessed with women at such a young age. You don’t even practice martial arts or read books. What kind of person are you!” Xiang Feiyan rebuked angrily.

Xiang Sheng was extremely dissatisfied and thought to himself, ‘Hehe, who doesn’t know what you and Su Daqiang are like? Back then, you were so loud that even the outer residence could hear you. You still have the nerve to lecture me!’

Although he wanted to, he did not dare to say anything. However, there was a trace of indignation on his face.

When Xiang Feiyan saw that he was a little unconvinced, she became even angrier. She said, “Men, from today onwards, change the entire residence to eunuchs. Those eunuchs that were chased out of the palace previously, find a few to serve him. Don’t let him run around freely. He must practice martial arts and study every day.”

At Xiang Feiyan’s command, Xiang Sheng’s eyes were filled with despair!

What was this? He would be placed with the eunuchs every day?

He had not even spent a few days in heaven, and now he was going back to hell?

He was in his adolescence and was at the age of rebellion. He couldn’t help but stand up and say, “Mother, I’m already grown up! Can’t I do anything? Isn’t it normal to have a woman?”

Xiang Feiyan was furious. Ever since she ascended the throne, she had never gone back on her word. How could she tolerate anyone rebutting her!

If this Xiang Sheng had been gentler and admitted his mistake first, there might have been a chance to negotiate nicely. However, the more unyielding he was, the angrier Xiang Feiyan became!

She rebuked angrily, “If you can have a woman, does that mean you can lie in bed the whole day?! Up till this time?!”

Xiang Sheng blurted out, “Aren’t you and that Su Daqiang the same…” He only realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence.

Xiang Feiyan was even angrier. “Hehe, you’re comparing yourself to us? Comparing you to your master? Which part of your master’s cultivation and strategy isn’t top-notch? What have you learned from him?”

“If he doesn’t teach me, what should I learn?” Xiang Sheng was not lying.

Regardless of whether it was Su Wen or him, both of them knew that this master-disciple relationship was merely forced by Xiang Feiyan. One did not want to teach, while the other did not wish to learn.

But Xiang Feiyan was angry and only felt that he was quibbling.

She immediately turned around and left. “In the future, Xiang Sheng must obtain my approval before going out. Otherwise, you are not allowed to leave!”

The mother and son thus developed a grudge.

In the Flame God Sect, Su Wen was sitting cross-legged. He had already activated the Time Freeze Card!

In order to obtain this card, Su Wen went to the New Fifth Peak to mock the baldies for seven consecutive days… Fortunately, these people transferred some of their resentment towards Ni Hongxiao to Su Wen, allowing him to quickly accumulate enough to purchase the Time Freeze cards.

His consciousness had already sunk into his body. This was his eighth month in the Time Freeze. He had already attempted countless times to sense, comprehend, and search for that mysterious feeling.

He planned to follow Xiang Ding’s instructions and comprehend his techniques.

According to Xiang Ding, he needed to comprehend all the Heaven Rank techniques he had learned.

Now, Su Wen naturally had no problems with the Stellar Transposition, Great Solar Supreme Policy, and the Heaven & Earth Great Solar Sutra.

He had practiced these two cultivation techniques in the system space for a long time, but the Dragon Swimming Wind Sword he had was forcibly increased through the system’s Emotional Value. In terms of comprehension, it was slightly inferior.

However, Su Wen was not in a hurry.

He immersed his consciousness into his body.

Then, he quietly began to sense the Moon Palace in his body.

This was something Su Wen rarely did in the past.

Gradually, Su Wen’s consciousness entered a mysterious realm.

In his perception, his flesh and blood had vanished, his meridians had vanished, and his cultivation had vanished. It was as if everything had turned to nil.

His body seemed to have become an empty existence. Slowly, he realized that the stars he condensed seemed to be twinkling.

Little by little, they became clearer.

The stars in the void flashed resplendently.

In reality, this was the most certain thing Su Wen knew.

After all, he had seen the star map given by the system and knew that the stars present in this world were the same stars…

In the vast universe, every star was like dust, but compared to humans, they were infinitely vast.

Stars gradually appeared in Su Wen’s body as if his body was the universe… It was just that there were too few stars here compared to the universe.

Gradually, the Moon Palace appeared, along with a Star System.

The Star System within the Moon Palace was still spinning.

These stars emitted waves of starlight, each representing their own attributes.

While this was what happened in his consciousness, in reality, specks of starlight truly began to gather on his body.

During this period of time, Su Wen had gradually gained some enlightenment. This enlightenment was ultimately a deep comprehension of martial arts.

He gradually detached himself from the structure of his martial arts.

At this moment, the celestial bodies in Su Wen’s consciousness started to move!

Following the movement technique of Stellar Transposition, the position of the stars and the moon began to move.

They were adhering to the laws.

A law that could not be resisted.

Immediately after, a trace of golden flames appeared in the void… More and more of them gathered together, flowing endlessly…

Su Wen was strengthening his own understanding.

In the past half a year, Su Wen had completely changed his mindset.

He decided to believe in science!

When the eyes see it, it becomes real.

The sun was based on nuclear fusion.

However, the problem was that many of the moves in the Great Solar Supreme Policy were related to the sun!

So if the sun was a nuclear fusion, how could the moves be explained?

For example, how could he explain the Great Solar Celestial Sun Divide that came after Concentrating Flame, Forming Sun?

What was True Qi?

Unable to figure it out, Su Wen resorted to a crazy method!

In the cultivation space of the system, Su Wen would not die, and he did not need to worry about going berserk.

He decided to conduct an experiment!

Using True Qi to simulate nuclear fusion to create a sun!

No one would have such crazy thoughts.

However, Su Wen really started to attempt this experiment.

Nuclear fusion, to put it simply, releases huge amounts of energy when a light nucleus is combined into a relatively heavy nucleus.

To Su Wen, he did not know what to do and could only undergo trial and error!

Firstly, Su Wen knew that through Concentrating Flame, Forming Sun, it could definitely cause a qualitative change in his flames. He had clearly sensed this when he used it in the palace.

He first executed the technique, then opened his Pupils of the Vermillion Bird and recorded the entire process of the transformation in detail.

After recording, he used the replay function of his pupils and started replaying it in his mind.

At this moment, Su Wen realized that he could clearly see even more minute things, such as every thread of True Qi, when he used his Pupils of the Vermillion Bird.

This was something he had never bothered to notice.

As he constantly activated his True Qi, he observed that they were in fact, made up of countless particles of Origin power.

Delving deeper, there were even smaller and constantly changing irregular energy bodies.

The Pupils of the Vermillion Bird acted like a super microscope that allowed him to see the essence of everything in nature.

Was this the essence of True Qi or Origin Power? Su Wen did not know.

However, he unconsciously had a strange affinity with this energy.

Coupled with Su Wen’s powerful control, he began an attempt to simulate the True Qi to condense into Yang in his body while he was in this state of enlightenment!

He began to simulate his impression of nuclear fusion!

Actually, Su Wen knew nuts about nuclear fusion.

His thoughts were very simple. Didn’t he have doubts in his heart? Then he would use practice to make up for it.

In any case, the truth would be revealed through practice.

As long as he created a system that could succeed, Su Wen would immediately feel that he was right.

He started to go crazy!

For example, he could try to use the Extreme Yang Star in his body to augment his True Qi and condense it into Yang.

Then, Su Wen accidentally… exploded!

Yes, in the training space of the system, he had played himself to death.

However, he quickly regenerated.

The first time, the second time…

Every time he failed, Su Wen would reflect on what was wrong.

He began to analyze the steps of Concentrating Flame, Forming Sun.

He tried countless times, controlled, and completely displayed the talent of fire.

Then, Su Wen slowly tried to understand the essence of flames.

He forcefully fused his understanding of the flames in the two worlds within his mind.

It was fortunate that the Great Solar Supreme Policy was of a high enough level, and there was also this technique of Concentrating Flame, Forming Sun.

A Heaven Rank martial technique was the biggest difference from an Earth Rank martial technique.

It was the use of laws.

Heaven Rank techniques often involve utilizing the laws of the world.

Ordinary people would definitely not be able to observe the laws, let alone reverse them.

However, Su Wen had the Pupils of the Vermillion Bird.

Therefore, without activating his martial arts, he began to circulate his True Qi to try and mimic the laws of the world.

At this point, he had already lost track of the number of times he had failed.

In the void, the golden flames that resembled the Milky Way slowly flowed.

The surrounding stars seemed to become extremely tiny!

Bit by bit, the golden river of Holy Flame gathered together, constantly changing.

They collided continuously!

Su Wen’s mind was highly focused.

Slowly, all the True Qi fused together.

Collision… collision… higher temperature, stronger energy…

Then, it shrank and condensed!

A little… bit by bit…

The process was very slow. Su Wen wondered how long this situation would last…

He did not know if this could happen, but what he knew was that if he was not careful, he would explode.

However, in this state, Su Wen’s understanding and comprehension of his True Qi was undoubtedly rapidly improving…

He had already lost count of how many times he had failed up till now.

It could even be said that Su Wen often felt that he had taken the wrong path…

Maybe it was really wrong.

But he still stuck to his regime and tried every day…

It was the same this time, but following the continuous collisions and clashes he made….

Slowly, Su Wen felt a qualitative change in his True Qi!

Stronger energy! Higher heat!

It was as if the flames had completely transformed into a being that could engulf the world.

Finally… it was over.

There was no explosion…

Su Wen opened his eyes and almost collapsed.

He looked at the timer.

To succeed once, he took 13 days!

This was the longest time he had meditated.

But there was no doubt that Su Wen had succeeded…

He had used his body to perform countless impossible experiments.

Witnessed countless failures.

But he succeeded once.

And that was the representation that he was correct in his judgment!

The flames completed the nuclear fission.

This would not work in normal science.

However, Su Wen managed to do it by forcing his way through.

Looking at the world again, everything seemed to be different.

A golden sun circulated in Su Wen’s meridians.

Su Wen casually waved his hand, and a large swath of ultra-high temperature holy flames shot forth.

Their battle prowess was incomparable.

Su Wen knew that he must have taken a different path from others.

After all, there was no one who hadn’t broken through to the Heaven Rank in the past few months.

Su Wen even felt that he could still fight against a Heaven Rank expert at this moment.

He did not know if it was an illusion, or it was truly the case.

However, he had this feeling.

After all, no one in this world would do such a crazy thing.

Or rather, those who dared to do so were all dead.

Right now, it could be said that his True Qi had completely exceeded the strength of the Heaven & Earth Great Solar Sutra itself.

Although it was impossible to evaluate its grade, Su Wen estimated that ordinary Heaven Rank techniques were already unable to compete with it.

It could be understood that Su Wen had used this comprehension to undergo a qualitative change in his True Qi.

In the remaining months, Su Wen finally focused on cultivating the Roaming Dragon Wind Sword..

Comprehending the Sword Dao.

When he came out again, the level of the Roaming Dragon Wind Sword had also increased by one level.

Su Wen’s understanding of this technique did not increase by much, however.

Even though the Roaming Dragon Sword had increased by another level, Su Wen was still unable to successfully cultivate the Paragon Rank sword move.

His comprehension of the Sword Dao was still too low.

At this moment, as he reviewed his performance the past year, Su Wen was deeply moved.

This understanding of martial arts and the world was a kind of understanding and comprehension of laws.

It was the persistence and tempering of one’s heart.

Did he succeed? Or not?

Su Wen did not know either. It was difficult to say such a loyal thing.

However, Su Wen felt that he was almost there at this moment.

The problem was… he still hadn’t broken through to the Heaven Rank.

Desire for power?

Su Wen shook his head slightly.

Let nature take its course. He was now much more at peace.

He was no longer so impatient.

He believed that as long as he walked the path of pursuing power to the extreme, he would break through one day.

After breaking through, Su Wen stood up and a smile appeared on his face.

He took a step forward and directly returned to the residence.

The moment he stepped out, he saw a familiar person.

Yan Luoying!

She had returned to the capital as well.

When the two of them met, Yan Luoying pounced into Su Wen’s arms!

“Ning Shuang and the others said that you would come back. Why haven’t I seen you for so many days?” Yan Luoying grumbled.

Su Wen smiled. “How should I put it? After all, I’m quite busy over there.”

“Hmph! Are you busy looking for women?” Yan Luoying looked at Su Wen suspiciously.

“How can that be? Aiyo, my wife’s skills have improved!” Su Wen changed the topic, but he was not joking.

Yan Luoying was already a 3rd Grade Earth Rank cultivator. Although it was nothing to Su Wen. To an ordinary person, the speed at which her cultivation base increased was already very fast.

Yan Luoying smiled and said, “It’s all because of the secret technique you gave me. Coupled with the daily augmentation of the array, my cultivation speed is much faster than before.”

The couple cuddled for a while, before Su Wen then got dressed to go to the Prime Minister’s Residence.

When father and son met, Su Changqing didn’t stand on ceremony and directly asked, “Did you assassinate the Crown Prince?”

“Yes!” Su Wen did not hide anything.

“What cultivation are you at now?”

At the mention of this, Su Wen smiled. “I have a 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivation base, but I think I can give it a try against a Heaven Rank!”

“Hmph! Don’t ever have such thoughts. If you fail, you might die,” Su Changqing said in a low voice. “What, how far are you from breaking through to the Heaven Rank?”

Su Wen knew that Old Su did not cultivate martial arts, so his question was rather laughable.

He could only give Old Su a rough explanation. “My extreme desire for power should be the last key to breaking through to the Heaven Rank. I think my comprehension during this period is pretty good.”

After hearing Su Wen’s words, Su Changqing fell silent.

After a while, he asked, “You plan to kill the Crown Prince?”

“I do…”

“Is it necessary?”

“I don’t know.” Su Wen said in a deep voice, “Actually, it’s easy for me to kill him now. However, after killing him, I might expose myself in the future. After all, my fire attribute cultivation technique is too conspicuous. If I don’t kill him, I will feel uncomfortable.”

Su Changqing pondered for a moment and said, “Do as you wish! After we’re done, we’ll move our entire family to Chu!”
