Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Chapter 741 – King Zhang Visits

After the exchange, the Emperor changed the subject and told Yan Zhonghua, “I already know all about the North Land’s matter.”

The Emperor had a hold on the world and naturally had spies that could tell him everything he wanted to know.

Yan Zhonghua said, “Since Father Emperor already knows about it, I won’t say more. Evil Qi cultivators — this matter is by no means normal. The situation is urgent. Without asking Father Emperor for permission, I have decided to invite the major forces of the Nine Lands to come to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital to discuss the matter of killing evil spirits.”

The Emperor looked at Yan Zhonghua faintly, “After all these years, it’s indeed time to meet those rulers again. But how can you guarantee that there will be no trouble at the conference?”

Yan Zhonghua said, “I set the location on the floating platform.”

After entering the floating platform, one’s cultivation base would be forcibly suppressed at the Foundation Stage.

The Emperor shook his head. “Inappropriate. Each clan and sect will inevitably bring many people. The strong experts will come together. One wrong step will lead to chaos and turmoil.”

Yan Zhonghua paused, then asked, “Where does Father Emperor think is the most suitable place?”

The Emperor: “Myriad Dao Academy.”

Yan Zhonghua was silent.

You Ming looked at Lin Xuanzhi. “Myriad Dao Academy has never been involved in worldly affairs, and they are located overseas. How can they provide us with such convenience?”

The Emperor said, “It depends on your ability.”

Yan Zhonghua said hesitantly, “I’m afraid this matter won’t be easy to handle.”

The Emperor looked at Yan Zhonghua with deep meaning, “Myriad Dao Academy has become a more detached existence in recent years. It doesn’t intervene in worldly affairs, nor does it listen to any clans. It has already become an existence surpassing the Royal Heavenly Capital. If you don’t take this opportunity to suppress Myriad Dao Academy, I’m afraid that in the future, the world will only know about Myriad Dao Academy and not the Yan family.”

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the few people present changed bitterly.

Yan Tianhen felt dumb in his heart. In front of so many people, the Emperor actually expressed his intention to subdue Myriad Dao Academy. This could be said to be very arrogant, not to mention that Lin Xuanzhi was still a nominal elder of Myriad Dao Academy.

What did the Emperor mean by this?

Lin Xuanzhi understood a lot more than Yan Tianhen.

In name, the Emperor was nominally suppressing Myriad Dao Academy, but in fact, he probably wanted to suppress Lin Xuanzhi.

Is it because of Reincarnation Palace, or because of my identity as the next leader of the Xuan clan?

Lin Xuanzhi would never simply think that the Emperor’s hostility to him came from his relationship with Yan Tianhen. Even though Yan Tianhen was now recognized as the second successor of the Divine Clan, his marriage was not enough for the Emperor to care so much.

Then why exactly is the Emperor doing this?

Lin Xuanzhi thought: This emperor is more powerful than I imagined.

The emperor said lightly, “You don’t understand what I mean. The meeting to extinguish the evil spirits can be held, but it must not take place inside the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital.”

Yan Zhonghua still wanted to say something, but the Emperor was firm and made it clear that he didn’t want to spend more time on this matter.

Lin Xuanzhi spoke up, “Since Emperor has set his eyes on Myriad Dao Academy, I might as well come forward and discuss with the elders of Myriad Dao Academy first. Although Myriad Dao Academy has no intention of interfering in worldly matters, the killing of evil spirits is related to the life and death of the Nine Lands. Myriad Dao Academy will not stay out of the matter. Moreover, the sect is also a fair place. Emperor’s proposal is very appropriate.”

The Emperor looked at Lin Xuanzhi with thoughtful eyes, “Since you’re willing to come forward, there is naturally no problem with that.”

At this time, the Imperial Concubine came in her palace attire.

She was dignified and had the temperament of the former Empress.

With a smile on her face, she paid her respect to the Emperor. After being called by the Emperor, she came forward and sat on the side of the Emperor.

The Emperor’s eyes became much softer and asked, “Jing Shui, how’s your body?”

The Imperial Concubine said, “Your Majesty, thank you for your concern. Although Jing Shui was not feeling well a few days ago, she has taken many medicine, and the pharmacist also took good care of her. These days, she naturally feels much better. Moreover, this Concubine ate too much and feels fat now.”

The Imperial Concubine touched her cheeks and pinched them as if she was serious, and acted like a baby to the emperor.

The Emperor smiled and hugged her waist. “You are also going to be a mother soon. Why do you still act like a child?”

The Imperial Concubine said, “As soon as this Concubine sees your majesty, she can’t help but want to act like a child.”

As a man, who doesn’t like to hear his woman’s praise? The Emperor was immediately coaxed by the Imperial Concubine.

Yan Zhonghua and the others, who were left aside, understood something.

Yan Zhonghua asked, “The Imperial Concubine is pregnant?”

The Emperor said with joy on his face, “Indeed, Jing Shui was pregnant before I entered closed-door cultivation, but the growth of the fetus was not easy. During this period of time, there was finally movement. I heard about this, and naturally I couldn’t sit still, so I left secluded cultivation early.”

Cultivators were different from ordinary people. They didn’t give birth after nine months, but it would be related to the favorable conditions of time, place, and people. Some families, like the Dragon family, might only give birth after a hundred years.

Yan Zhonghua said, “Congratulations, Imperial Concubine.”

The Imperial Concubine caressed her lips leisurely and smiled. “Thank you, King Ye. By the way, Yuqing also returned to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital a few days ago. She says she misses King Ye’s son every day. She has a heart for Ah Hen and is sincere. Such an infatuated woman is rare now. King Ye’s son must get along well with this younger sister of mine.”

Yan Tianhen cursed in his heart, but his expression was calm. “Princess Yuqing is Imperial Concubine’s younger sister, so naturally I will treat her as an aunt, and I will get along well with her.”

The smile on the Imperial Concubine’s face suddenly became stiff.

The Emperor seemed dissatisfied. He glared at Yan Tianhen, “Yuqing is younger than you. This is simply nonsense.”

Yan Tianhen pretended to be puzzled, “But Yuqing’s generation is older than mine.”

The Imperial Concubine raised her lips, “That’s also true. It’s enough for you to get along well.”

After leaving the palace, Yan Tianhen opened his mouth to curse as soon as he left the palace.

Lin Xuanzhi quickly pulled Yan Tianhen in his arms and said in a low voice, “Wait until we get back.”

This was the imperial city. The Emperor had spies everywhere. If Yan Tianhen said a word now, it wouldn’t be long before it would fall into the emperor’s ears word-for-word, or the spies might even exaggerate his words.

When he returned to King Ye’s Palace, he closed the door. Yan Tianhen was so angry that he raised the cup on the table and made to throw it.

You Ming grabbed the tea cup quickly. He held it in his arms and rubbed it with some heartache. “Child, what did the cup do wrong? Why do you have to treat it like that? I got this cup at an auction. If you dare to break it, I’ll break you too.”

Yan Tianhen: “...”

Yan Tianhen was about to cry with anger. He flared at You Ming, “Dad, is the cup more important or is your son more important? You didn’t see that woman’s arrogance. She didn’t even discuss it, she just wanted me to ‘get along’ with Yuqing!”

Yan Zhonghua said: “Jing Shui, this woman, is really extraordinary. She’s been pregnant for so long, but nobody knew. She really is patient.”

You Ming said, “That Father Emperor of yours really listens to her now, and even his closed-door cultivation ended ahead of schedule — tsk, we didn’t even see any reaction from him when we told him about evil Qi cultivators earlier.”

Yan Zhonghua paused. “After all, it’s his own flesh and blood, and no child has been born in the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital for a hundred years now. It’s normal for Father Emperor to care so much.”

You Ming said carelessly, “It can’t make any waves. It’s nothing more than a little kid. Now the most important thing to worry about is Myriad Dao Academy.”

To think that the Emperor had ideas about Myriad Dao Academy — none of them expected that.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “It’s not a big problem for the evil spirit meeting to be held in Myriad Dao Academy. Myriad Dao Academy will never stay out of this matter. I just need to go back and discuss with them first.”

Yan Zhonghua sighed. “In such a tense situation, the Emperor still wants to take advantage of the fire and suppress Myriad Dao Academy. He’s really too much.”

You Ming curled his lips slightly. “Which emperor of the Yan family has been good? Besides, your father didn’t have many achievements when he was in power. Even the sparrow spirit tribute received has been less and less year by year. He probably can’t sit still anymore.”

Yan Zhonghua pondered for a moment. “Let’s not waste time. We’d better leave the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital quickly and inform the others in advance.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “I’ll use astral projection to inform Myriad Dao Academy in order to save time.”

Astral projection could allow one’s soul to travel thousands of miles in an instant. Lin Xuanzhi had just closed his eyes and was already on Myriad Dao Academy’s Little Penglai Island. A moment later, Lin Xuanzhi opened his eyes again.

“How’s it going?” Yan Tianhen asked.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “There’s no problem over there. They’re even quite enthusiastic about it.”

Yan Tianhen patted his chest. “Then I’m relieved.”

Yan Zhonghua nodded. “I’ll inform the others now.”

The location was changed, but the time remained unchanged. Some people who were already on the road changed directions and flew towards Myriad Dao Academy instead.

Yan Tianhen didn’t want to see Princess Yuqing, so he planned to leave first with Lin Xuanzhi and go directly to Little Penglai, and then go to Myriad Dao Academy. Before he could leave, someone came to King Ye’s Palace again.

The person who came was Yan Zizhang — King Zhang — who had always opposed King Ye. Yan Zizhang made great strides into the courtyard without waiting for the attendants.

When he found Yan Zhonghua, he first studied Yan Zhonghua, then looked at Lin Xuanzhi, who was standing beside Yan Tianhen. His eyes sank slightly. “I’ve heard about the North Land’s matter.”

Yan Zhonghua had already sent people to discuss with Yan Zizhang before calling the people of the Nine Lands to discuss the killing of evil spirits. To his surprise, Yan Zizhang agreed at once, which Yan Zhonghua really wasn’t used to.

Yan Zhonghua asked, “Do you want to go with me to Myriad Dao Academy?”

Yan Zizhang shook his head. “I have to stay in the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital. A Yan family member who can take charge must remain here.”

At this point, he paused and stared at Yan Zhonghua. “Or I can go to Myriad Dao Academy, and you stay here.”

‘A Yan family member who can take charge’ — there were many implications behind his words.

Yan Zhonghua asked, “What happened inside the Royal Heavenly Capital these days when I was away?”

Yan Zizhang pinched his hair somewhat impatiently. “That woman is pregnant. Doesn’t Elder Brother know?”

Yan Zhonghua’s expression looked flat. “Her pregnancy is a good thing for the Yan family. At least it’s the blood of the imperial Yan family.”

Yan Zizhang took a deep breath and said reluctantly, “You don’t know how much that woman is favored right now. After she became pregnant, she had everything she wanted. The Emperor would never refuse her. Moreover, if her child was born in the future, who knows who the next Emperor of the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital will be?”
