479: Resolve the Imperial Dragon Qi!

"Did you really find a way to solve the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi?"

This problem had troubled Yan Yuzhu for decades, and even a peerless Genius like Yan Yuzhu had no solution, but Shen Tianxing had found one.

Even if she was calm, there would be some emotional fluctuations!

Shen Tianxing nodded and said, "What you need to think about now is what Great Qi will do. If you leave, who will inherit the throne of Great Qi."

He did not answer directly, but his words were meant to reassure Yan Yuzhu.

Back then, Yan Yuzhu defeated all the Imperial Sons and Imperial Uncles to ascend the throne. The prosperity of Great Qi was established by her. If she were to truly leave now, she would indeed need an heir.

After all, the current Great Qi is no longer what it once was, incredibly powerful. After expanding its territory, its land has increased by no less than tenfold!

Without an emperor with sufficient ability to suppress it, the Great Qi Imperial Dynasty, despite its apparent strength, would not last long.

Yan Yuzhu smiled softly and said, "For this day, I have long since decided on a candidate."

"Oh? Let me guess..."

Shen Tianxing pretended to ponder, then quickly said with a smile, "Among the many Imperial families of Great Qi, besides you, there seems to be only one whose achievements can awe the entire Great Qi."

"Fourteenth Imperial Uncle Yan Yongyang!"

Indeed, the first name that came to Shen Tianxing's mind was the Fourteenth Imperial Uncle, Yan Yongyang!

This answer, in fact, could be reached without much thought.

After Yan Yuzhu's struggle for the throne back then, some arrogant and exceptionally talented Imperial Sons were defeated. Some became dejected, some left their homeland, and some went to their fiefdoms.

In short, few of them achieved anything significant.

It was evident how much psychological trauma Yan Yuzhu had inflicted on these arrogant Genius Imperial Sons back then.

Besides those Imperial Sons, there were still a few Imperial Uncles left from the previous generation. Prince Pei had died, and several Imperial Uncles who had opposed Yan Yuzhu were imprisoned.

Among the remaining few, only Yan Yongyang had the highest prestige, both in the imperial court and the military!

Although he was still Yan Yuzhu's uncle and not young, he was exceptionally talented and incredibly powerful, having already become a master of the Soul Palace Realm.

He had now achieved a Breakthrough to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!

Possessing the cultivation of this Realm was already sufficient to awe the Great Qi Imperial Dynasty and the surrounding Imperial Dynasties.

"Indeed, Fourteenth Imperial Uncle was inherently a talent for an emperor. If he hadn't yielded back then, Imperial Father wouldn't have sat on this position."

"Similarly, without his help, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to ascend to the throne at that time."

She was truly grateful to the Fourteenth Imperial Uncle from the bottom of her heart.

He had assisted two generations of monarchs with consistency and never overstepped his bounds, deeply understanding the distinction between ruler and subject. For this alone, Yan Yuzhu was very satisfied with him.

Great Qi was certainly not her endpoint, and being a mere empress was not what she truly desired. Her future path was still very long.

"Can you really give it up? Once you relinquish power, you will no longer be the high and mighty empress."

Shen Tianxing teased with a smile.

In reality, he was also reminding her that power is something people are infatuated with.

Almost anyone who has tasted power finds it difficult to abandon.

"There's nothing to regret."

"I never thought I would stay in Great Qi for too long. You don't know, the first time I saw records of the Sea of Buried Demons, I wanted to go see it."

"Twenty years have passed, and I finally have this opportunity to see it with my own eyes."

Shen Tianxing nodded, gently stroking the empress's hair, sensing her thoughts.

Just like Shen Tianxing himself, if he had followed the empress back to the Great Qi Imperial Capital then, he might have found a way to break the blood curse on him with the help of the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi.

But he still left without hesitation and went to the Sea of Buried Demons.

In reality, it was the yearning in his heart that determined his departure.

Shen Tianxing had no regrets at all.

Yan Yuzhu's current thoughts were almost identical to his back then.

"Time is almost up, let's go. After I resolve the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi for you, we can prepare to leave Great Qi."

Shen Tianxing did not continue to delay.

He did not intend to stay too long this time. Although he had closed the passage between the Inner Sea and the Four Domains, he had not finished dealing with all matters.

Before leaving the Sea of Buried Demons and heading to other Domains, he needed to arrange everything properly.

Besides the Northern Domain, he also wanted to see the other major Domains.

Most importantly, there was the Contest of the Imperial Son not long from now.

"Alright!"

...The imperial palace, still that underground space.

Shen Tianxing came here again, as if it were yesterday.

The relationship between him and Yan Yuzhu had changed here.

Yan Yuzhu looked at Shen Tianxing, her face flushing, and she also recalled the scenes from back then, gently squeezing his arm.

Shen Tianxing smiled, regained his composure, and said, "I will set up a Formation for you to prevent the Dragon Qi in your body from leaking out. The rest you can leave to me."

As his voice fell, Shen Tianxing waved his hand, and dozens of jade stones flew out, flashing on the ground and disappearing.

Yan Yuzhu nodded, stepped into the Formation pattern, and then a beam of light lit up on the ground, enveloping her entirely.

Yan Yuzhu's eyes flickered, feeling the Dragon Qi in her body stirring, seemingly sealed within, wanting to rush out, but unable to Breakthrough the light curtain.

The Formation was effective!

Yan Yuzhu felt even more confident.

She knew the domineering nature of the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi; nothing had ever been able to stop it.

Today, however, it was blocked by one of Shen Tianxing's Formations, which showed that Shen Tianxing's attainments in Formation had long exceeded her imagination.

This was a Formation she had never even seen before, incredibly profound!

Bang!

Suddenly, the earth shook!

Shen Tianxing stood with his hands behind his back, taking a step and firmly stamping on the ground.

A surging true essence passed through the earth, rapidly rushing towards the depths underground!

Boom!!!

With almost no delay, the earth immediately let out a deafening roar!

The entire underground cavern was shaking, and pieces of rock constantly fell from the ceiling of the surrounding cavern.

At first glance, it seemed as if the cavern was about to collapse!

"Focus your mind and draw out the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi! With all your might!"

Yan Yuzhu understood immediately and, without hesitation, began to draw out the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi using a secret method!

The next second, the ground vibrated even more intensely, and deep, resonant Dragon roars continuously came from the depths of the earth's pulse.

The Spiritual Qi that soared to the heavens erupted at this moment!

A golden Spiritual Qi, so dense it couldn't be dissolved, rushed out from underground, unimpeded, directly towards the dome above!

Ang!!!

Not long after, a golden Dragon roar emerged from the ground. Its body was enormous, hundreds of meters long, and its Dragon head revealed a hint of ferocity.

It seemed to have been disturbed from its slumber and was very displeased. Seeing Yan Yuzhu at a glance, it rushed towards her!
