531: Pupil Technique

Bidding farewell to his Benefactor, Chen De continued on his journey.

Now that both of his systems had broken through, his Sheng Chu System had reached the mid-Profound Realm, and his Magic Armor Master System had reached the first stage of Gold Rank.

His overall combat power could already rival that of a platinum peak, or even higher.

Furthermore, using the world-descending demonic blade now would definitely not drain him enough to cause unconsciousness.

If the situation were urgent, killing a Diamond Rank with a casual slash would be effortless.

Oh right, speaking of blades, after Chen De broke through to Gold Rank, he also obtained an exclusive weapon.

The ten thousand beast saber!

Perhaps it was because he had many beast organs on his body, so the saber appeared even wilder.

It was suffused with nine-colored streams of light, and one could faintly hear the roars of various fierce beasts.

Not long after walking, Chen De couldn't help but think that it would be great if another Benefactor could come to help him.

But he immediately abandoned this thought, because if it were like this time...

If a Benefactor had to sacrifice themselves to fulfill him, Chen De would rather not encounter one.

This was morality!

The morality of a member of the Holy Mother Sect!

Originally, Chen De intended to take the path of strategy; how did he end up on the path of a brute as he walked?

When did this start...

After pondering for a while, he suddenly realized that it seemed like he had been on the path of a brute from the very beginning, right?

Since that was the case, he wouldn't pretend to be an elegant person anymore; being wishy-washy was both troublesome and disgusting.

Since he was already on the path of a brute, he might as well walk it to the end.

The next place Chen De planned to go was the Imperial City, where there were the most resources and the most experts.

By then, Chen De would be able to obtain more benefits and increase his strength even faster.

Thus, along the way, Chen De overcame various obstacles and obtained an awesome bone, which he directly transplanted into his body.

His cultivation also rapidly increased to the fifth stage of Gold Rank, and his comprehensive combat power was infinitely close to the Diamond Rank.

There was also shrinking his physique; as the saying went, no one understood the physical body better than him.

Regarding this, Chen De had long since developed a method to compress his physique to the size of a normal person.

By this time, he had successfully arrived near the Imperial City.

Being in the vicinity of the Imperial City, it was quite stable and prosperous.

As long as one did not offend the big shots in the Imperial City, life here was almost something people dreamed of.

But the downside was that it was very easy to run into big shots from the Imperial City.

Chen De didn't feel much about this; with Diamond Rank combat power, he was a big shot wherever he went.

Plus, he had recently cultivated an eye technique, which could further augment his combat power.

After understanding the system, given Chen De's level, he could just create all his own cultivation techniques and martial arts.

However, his body was too weak, and he had to comply with local laws; creating some basic ones was already quite a stretch.

It wasn't that they were hard to create, but rather hard to use.

Don't think Diamond Rank is so impressive; in reality, he was still just muddling along in the Demon Qi Realm.

Chen De stopped overthinking and planned to officially set off for the Imperial City.

Just at a place less than seventy kilometers from the Imperial City, he encountered a large group.

There happened to be a village nearby, so Chen De randomly selected a lucky audience member to ask.

Snap!

Following a crisp sound, he gently put down that lucky audience member.

The Regent King!

According to the account of the lucky audience member, the group ahead belonged to the Regent King.

What was the cause? The Emperor of Great Firmament was obsessed with cultivation, and a single seclusion would last several years.

Then, in order not to neglect state affairs, he selected a Regent King from among his sons.

To command the military and political affairs of a nation; which member of the royal family wouldn't become suspicious after obtaining such great power?

Therefore, this Regent King was not selected from among his brothers, but from among his sons.

In this way, even if there were a rebellion, the meat would eventually rot in the pot; it would still be inherited by someone from his own lineage.

The eldest prince was the legitimate heir, the eldest son, and the Emperor's favorite son.

So, it was already beyond doubt who the candidate for Regent King had fallen upon.

Today was the day of the Regent King's daughter's wedding, and the one she was marrying was the heir from the Grand Generals Estate.

The Regent King was at the Diamond peak, while the Grand General was a King Realm Magic Armor Master; no one knew exactly which stage he was at.

But it was said that sixty years ago, the Grand General had already broken through to the King Realm.

It was very likely that he was a powerhouse at the peak of the first stage of the King Realm, or even the second stage.

Therefore, the two sides could be considered well-matched in social status, and it was the biggest of big events in the entire Imperial City.

Because of this, even the Emperor, who had been in seclusion for a long time, came out for the first time in an unprecedented event.

In fact, many people speculated whether the Regent King's marriage alliance with the Grand Generals Estate meant he had... thoughts of usurping the throne.

But after many years of acting as Regent, the court and the public had basically all been replaced by the Regent King's people.

Except for a few King Realm experts he couldn't command, everyone else was firmly in his grasp.

But could the Emperor not see such an obvious thing that even an observant person could see?

Of course not!

It was just unknown why he deliberately pretended not to know, or didn't take it to heart, and was not at all worried that this son of his would rebel.

As for why he had to take a turn outside the city, Chen De had no idea at all.

After all, he had only asked an ordinary lucky audience member; how would the other party know what those above were thinking?

It was probably just for entertainment, and these pieces of information might not even all be true.

However, none of this mattered.

Chen De looked at this group, a strange look appearing in his eyes as he pondered certain things in his mind.

Should he... sneak in?

Try to see if he could use an alternative method of Influence on the Regent King's daughter—she should be a princess, right?

In this way, having a suitable person sneak into the upper echelons of the Imperial City should be very helpful for his subsequent plans.

Why did Chen De have this thought...

It lay in an eye technique he had cultivated recently.

That eye technique was not a direct attack type; it had the effect of mental control, which counted as indirect damage.

If he encountered someone whose cultivation was lower than this body of Chen De's, he could completely control them.

As the saying went, when it came to how to Influence and how to guide towards kindness, the Holy Mother Sect were experts.

Chen De named this eye technique the Sacred Heart Eye, meaning that the person subjected to the eye technique could awaken a Holy Mother's heart within.

At the same time, only a true Holy Mother could cultivate it.

And the fact that Chen De was able to cultivate it verified once again the professionalism and seriousness of Chen De being a Holy Mother.

Next, Chen De used the eye technique and snuck into the group without anyone noticing.

Anyone who made eye contact with him, or had seen his eyes, would have a flash of blood-red light appear in their own eyes.

Then, when looking at Chen De, they were all like people with their eyes open but blind; even though Chen De was right in front of them, it was as if they didn't see him.

Then, he randomly found a lucky soldier, put him down gently with a snap, and changed into his clothes.

Thus, he had completely snuck into the group.

Subsequently, he continued to use the eye technique, constantly swapping positions with people and changing his location.
