BXBX NOVEL Chapter 118: Breakthrough! 4th Heavenly Layer!
Su Qin listened to the ‘complaints’ of Emperor Li Sheng, and increasingly felt that his choice was correct.
No matter where it was, whether it was at the Shaolin Temple or Imperial Palace, the more you get, the more you pay.
And now, although Su Qin seems to have no power in the Imperial Palace, he is the most free and laid-back person.
Daily Sign In, Cultivation, wandering around, and keep getting stronger, isn’t it beautiful?
“In the court, the courtiers respect and fear me, but this year, factional disputes have gradually emerged.”
Emperor Li Sheng’s tone gradually became heavier when he talked about this topic.
In fact, no matter which Dynasty, factional disputes were unavoidable. In fact, Emperor Tang had already cleaned the court before Li Sheng ascended the throne, which infinitely weakened the factional disputes.
But after a year, especially after the Imperial Examination, factional disputes have once again emerged.
This made Emperor Li Sheng very exhausted. He allowed battles between his courtiers, but the premise of all this was to put the Tang Empire’s interests first.
But once a faction is formed, for some Officials, the interests of their faction may be greater than the Tang Empire.
“Factional disputes?”
Su Qin thought for a while and asked casually: “Why would there be Faction disputes?”
“It is very complicated.”
Emperor Li Sheng thought for a while and said: “The Tang Empire’s talented Officials are produced through Imperial Examinations.”
“The Imperial Examinations were conducted solely by the Head Examiner, which led to the Imperial Examination candidates being held by the Head Examiner under his banner.”
“That’s why, when these candidates enter the court, they will naturally stand next to the Head Examiner and form a faction of their own, repelling the outsiders…”
Emperor Li Sheng explained the main source of the factional dispute.
But knowing this doesn’t really mean you can solve it.
After all, he can’t just cancel the Imperial Examination, right?
Nor could he clean the court every once in a while.
“Third Brother, what do you think about this?”
Emperor Li Sheng rubbed his eyebrows, looked at Su Qin, and asked.
“My opinion?”
Su Qin pondered for a moment: “Since the cause of this factional dispute lies in the Head Examiner, why not just change the Head Examiner?”
Su Qin said casually.
“Change the Head Examiner?”
Emperor Li Sheng’s eyes lit up, but it dimmed in an instant. He shook his head and said: “The Imperial Examination involves candidates from all over the world and it is related to the Tang Empire’s inheritance. The Head Examiner can only be selected among the Court Officials.”
“Because only the courtiers that’s in the court have enough influence to convince the candidates.”
“Hence no matter who you change it to, those candidates will still be gathered in one and still form a faction…”
Emperor Li Sheng said in a bitter tone.
“You misunderstood what I meant.”
Su Qin shook his head and continued: “I don’t want to change the Head Examiner for another courtier.”
“Not another courtier?”
Emperor Li Sheng was slightly dazed and was confused.
“You can be the Head Examiner.”
Su Qin looked at Emperor Li Sheng and said.
“I’ll be the Head Examiner?”
“Right!”
“I will be the Head Examiner.”
Emperor Li Sheng’s eyes became brighter the more he thought about it.
The main source of the factional dispute is that candidates for that year will be assigned to a certain Head Examiner. If things go on like this, there will be multiple factions in the court, and conflict will naturally occur.
However, if the Emperor Tang himself serves as the Head Examiner, all the candidates will be under the Emperor Tang. In this way, there is only one faction in the entire court.
Factional disputes refer to multiple factions fighting against each other, but if there is only one faction, what are they fighting for?
Everyone is on the same side, so why fight?
In this case, factional disputes will naturally disappear.
“Third Brother.”
“You really enlightened me.”
Emperor Li Sheng was full of joy, and said quickly: “I will go back first, I will see you tomorrow.”
Emperor Li Sheng then eagerly returned to the Long Life Temple.
Su Qin looked at the leaving back of Emperor Li Sheng, and his smile gradually faded.
“It’s almost time.”
Su Qin glanced at the sky and returned to the Right Spring Square.
At this moment, in addition to the Five Elements Reverse Chaos Array in the Right Spring Square, Su Qin has also arranged several other large arrays.
The main effect of these large arrays was to suppress aura from leaking out.
In this way, the movement caused by Su Qin’s breakthrough will not affect the outside world, so that every time Su Qin breaks through, he wouldn’t need to run somewhere far away.
“Start.”
Su Qin sat cross-legged and his thoughts moved.
[Whoosh~]!
Hundreds of bottles of medicinal pills appeared and apart from this, there’s also 100 drops of Innate Spirit Liquid.
These 100 drops of Innate Spirit Liquid was Su Qin’s accumulation this year and their purpose was to help him have a safe break through today.
Innate Spirit Liquid, whether it is normal Cultivation or for breaking through, it has a great effect.
“And there’s also this one.”
A pale-gold Bodhi Heart with mysterious lines on the surface, appeared in front of Su Qin.
It was the Millennium Bodhi Heart.
While Su Qin was Cultivating his mind, getting insights from the Heavens and Earth, he specially put the Millennium Bodhi Heart into the System Storage and put it aside.
And now that it is time to break through, he naturally took out the Millennium Bodhi Heart to guard his mind just in case.
Although Su Qin believes that with his current preparations, he will not need to use the Millennium Bodhi Heart, but it is better being safe than sorry.
Su Qin slowly closed his eyes.
Hoooo!
Haaaa!
As Su Qin breathed, the 100 drops of Innate Spirit Liquid placed in front of him suddenly turned into flowing water and poured into Su Qin’s mouth.
At the same time, the medicinal pills did the same, and they were swallowed by Su Qin.
The True Essence within Su Qin’s body continued to rise and revolve, the aura that exudes from him became more and more terrifying. If it weren’t for the Heaven and Earth Arrays he’s placed, the current events would have shaken the entire Chang’an City at this moment.
With the 100 drops of Innate Spirit Liquid and medicinal pills, Su Qin’s True Essence began to skyrocket.
Although the effects of the Innate Spirit Liquid are usually mild, that is only if you take it drop by drop.
But Su Qin took all 100 drops at once. If it hadn’t been for Su Qin’s Body already undergoing four transformations and having ‘golden nature’, he would have exploded and died.
[Hong long long~]
Su Qin’s constantly running True Essence seems to be undergoing change and was beginning to transform in a strange direction.
This transformed True Essence was more mighty and profound, it seemed to be able to overwhelm the Heavens and Earth itself.
Time passed, soon all of the True Essence in Su Qin’s Body was transformed into the new more mighty and profoundly strange True Essence.
Su Qin’s originally rising aura suddenly began to shrink, as if it turned into a black hole, and into nothingness.
The next moment, Su Qin’s eyes slowly opened.
“Is this the 4th Heavenly Layer?”
Su Qin felt the changes carefully, and a smile appeared on his face.
