291: The word "Xian"

After all, if Lin Ye were truly allowed to participate in this struggle, the high probability is that he would win!

Everyone has seen what happened in the Lingxu Battlefield before; it can be said that Lin Ye is simply a peerless Prodigy among his generation.

Who could possibly be confident in defeating such a person?

The Martial Saint Emperor clearly intends to let the Ninth Prince succeed to the throne. Only in this way, after he is reborn for another lifetime in the future, will he be able to reclaim the position of Saint Emperor.

But if Wu Mingyue were to take the throne...

Even though everyone covets that position and regards Wu Mingyue as an enemy, it must be said that both the strength and methods of this Imperial Sister are top-tier.

Even if the Martial Saint Emperor were to truly be reborn for another lifetime by then.

But by that time, the entire Wu Dynasty would surely have been molded into Wu Mingyue's shape.

How could he possibly take back the position of Saint Emperor then?

Therefore, the Martial Saint Emperor's actions at this moment seem extremely bizarre to everyone, and even Wu Mingyue's beautiful eyes carry a hint of confusion.

She cannot tell whether her Imperial Father is sincere or if there is some hidden conspiracy.

A mysterious smile still hangs on the Martial Saint Emperor's face.

Seeing that no one was speaking, he said loudly: "Alright, today is just a family banquet; the struggle for the position of Crown Prince will begin on another day."

"Continue the music, continue the dance."

Once the Saint Emperor's order was given, many maidservants came to the main hall and danced gracefully to the sound of Immortal music.

Meanwhile, the Martial Saint Emperor walked to the Dragon throne, sat down, raised his wine cup, and began to drink heartily.

Beside him, Empress Wu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

She is also pondering the Martial Saint Emperor's intentions, but at this moment, the Martial Saint Emperor is clearly not someone who can be easily figured out.

The banquet gradually came to an end in a strange atmosphere.

As soon as the banquet ended, Lin Ye was called alone by the Martial Saint Emperor into the study.

Originally, Wu Mingyue wanted to come along to ensure Lin Ye's safety.

But she was stopped by Lin Ye.

If the Martial Saint Emperor were truly to make a move against him, he could naturally throw caution to the wind, but if Wu Mingyue were by his side, he would instead have reservations.

...

In the study, the Martial Saint Emperor saw Lin Ye arrive and walked forward with a joyful expression.

"Lin Ye, I must say, I have never seen a Prodigy like you; even the young me was far inferior to you."

"The Saint Emperor is too generous with his praise."

Lin Ye's attitude was very humble, and he did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation due to the other party's compliments.

"Hahahaha, possessing the talent of a Prodigy yet remaining so humble? It seems I have found the most perfect Dao Companion for Mingyue."

After laughing, the Martial Saint Emperor's expression gradually became serious.

"Lin Ye, if I am not mistaken, you have a relationship with the Chang Sheng Lin Family of the Upper Domain, right?"

"..."

Lin Ye did not answer the other party, but in the Martial Saint Emperor's view, this was an admission.

The Martial Saint Emperor walked slowly to the side of the bookcase and threw a punch!

Boom!!!

A huge roar erupted from the wall, and the entire study shook continuously. A moment later, the dust settled, and the bookcase had already turned into powder.

However, a character was revealed on the wall.

It was a character that exuded an ancient, simple aura.

Immortal!

Seeing the appearance of this character, Lin Ye's pupils constricted. He could feel the mysterious aura on the character, as if it were truly Immortal Qi.

The Martial Saint Emperor turned slowly and said to Lin Ye: "Do you believe that Immortals exist?"

The character 'Immortal' is something that all Cultivators have been pursuing since ancient times; even Great Emperors who have achieved the Dao wish to pursue that ethereal Immortal.

After all, Immortal means eternal existence; it means the end of the Dao.

Seeing that Lin Ye did not speak, the Martial Saint Emperor did not mind and continued to speak to himself: "I obtained this character from a Secret Realm. From that moment on, I believed that Immortals exist in this world!"

"Therefore, I gave up so-called power at that time, using my own cultivation to fight, to Cultivate, to risk my life!"

"Although I do not have your talent, I possess a resilient Dao Heart, which allowed me to advance the Wu Dynasty further. Of course, I also made many enemies."

"But in the end, I was still too arrogant; it turns out that talent is more important! Even though I could suppress all directions, I encountered a person of the same age who was able to suppress me with one hand!"

When saying this, a hint of ferocity appeared on the Martial Saint Emperor's face.

"Since my talent was not enough, why let me discover this character 'Immortal'?!"

"From that day on, I changed; my Dao Heart collapsed, my cultivation regressed, and even these fists became weak and powerless!"

"Now that my Lifespan is about to be exhausted, I have finally regained my Dao Heart. Since a Great Emperor can be reborn for another lifetime, then I can too! When I wash away the vanity and am reborn for another lifetime, that will be the time for me to contend with this world once again!"

"And this time, I want to suppress all directions with overwhelming momentum, so I cannot let go of this power, and this Imperial Dynasty can only be my own Imperial Dynasty!"

Hearing the Martial Saint Emperor's words, Lin Ye did not feel a shred of admiration; instead, he sneered: "You certainly have a good plan. Being reborn for another lifetime cannot change one's talent, so if I am not mistaken, you intend to borrow the Dragon Qi of the entire Imperial Dynasty to compensate yourself?"

"To raise your upper limit, thereby obtaining astonishing talent?"

"..."

The Martial Saint Emperor looked at Lin Ye with a shocked expression.

He was wondering how the other party knew.

Because this secret technique was something he realized from the character 'Immortal'. Ascending the whole sect is impossible, but if he exhausts the Luck and resources of the Imperial Dynasty to let him rule over the world alone, it is still possible!

Of course, this has very serious consequences.

One careless mistake would cause the Wu Dynasty, this Immortal Dynasty, to be destroyed in an instant.

This is not a joke.

The concept of Luck is mysterious and profound, but as an Immortal Dynasty where Dragon Qi and Imperial Dynasty Luck coexist, this Luck is extremely important.

Once the Martial Saint Emperor exhausts all the Luck alone, what will happen to this Immortal Dynasty goes without saying.

The reason why Lin Ye was able to guess it.

Is because his One Page Scripture naturally also contains such a secret technique.

Killing Life Tathagata has so many blood puppets and even created the Other Shore; how is that not also a desire for an alternative form of immortality?

Having many blood puppets chant for him to sublimate himself.

When Lin Ye first saw the character 'Immortal', he felt that the aura on it was very familiar. After a little thought, he thought of Killing Life Tathagata.

Added to a Saint Emperor who wants to pursue the Immortal Dao but is unwilling to give up the power in his hands—connecting these few things together, he could naturally guess his intention.

A hint of killing intent appeared in the Martial Saint Emperor's gaze as he looked at Lin Ye.

Only he himself knew about this matter.

But he did not expect that the person in front of him would have guessed it.

If he were really allowed to tell others about this matter, the first ones to come and cause him trouble would be those old guys in the ancestral land!

After all, as Old Ancestors of the Imperial Dynasty, they could not watch the Luck of the Imperial Dynasty be exhausted.
