BXBX NOVEL Chapter 139: Rising Waves.
“Not bad.”
“After stepping into the 5th Heavenly Layer, whether it is my True Essence or Divine Sense, it has been increased by two folds.”
Su Qin nodded slightly.
The improvement from the 4th Heavenly Layer to the 5th Heavenly Layer was not as qualitative as the breakthrough from the 3rd Heavenly Layer to the 4th Heavenly Layer, but it, nonetheless, made Su Qin very satisfied.
After all, at his level, even if it was a slight improvement, it was already extremely difficult, let alone a leap to another level.
“After the 5th Heavenly Layer is the 6th Heavenly Layer. As for the 7th Heavenly Layer above the 6th, it can be regarded as the start of the Peak of the Arhat Realm…”
Su Qin touched his chin.
According to the Divine Sense of the Moon God from the Holy Moon Church, even in the depths of the endless ocean, Legends of the 7th Heavenly Layer was extremely rare. Even if they did exist, they were all pursuing the path of Earth Immortal and won’t show a trace in front of outsiders.
“It is said that only after reaching the 7th Heavenly Layer can there be hope to condense a Small Domain…”
Su Qin thought silently.
An Arhat/Legend’s biggest difference to the 9 Grades is the control of the Power of Heaven and Earth.
However, the Power of Heaven and Earth is vast and boundless. Even a 9th Heavenly Layer cannot control all of it.
Therefore, as one goes to the later stages of the Arhat/Legend Realm, one would continuously compress and condense the Power of Heaven and Earth under their control, to form a Small Domain.
The Small Domain may not be comparable to the Power of Heaven and Earth that ranges from ten miles to dozens of miles, but the quality far exceeds it.
However, condensing the Power of Heaven and Earth was tantamount to opposing the Heavens and Earth with oneself. One can just imagine how difficult it was.
Hence, only if one reaches the 7th Heavenly Layer can one have hope to condense the Small Domain.
As for the success of successfully creating one, it depends on whether your foundation is strong and sufficient.
Which means, a 7th Heavenly Layer does not necessarily have a Small Domain.
“Ahh.. forget it, it’s too early to think of such things.”
Su Qin shook his head slightly and sighed.
He had just entered the 5th Heavenly Layer and was quite a distance away from the 6th Heavenly Layer, let alone the 7th Heavenly Layer.
“Emperor Li Sheng seems to be recovering well…”
Su Qin raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of the Long Life Temple.
At this moment, Emperor Li Sheng was eating the meal prepared by the Imperial Kitchen. He obviously recovered from the defection of his Officials.
When Su Qin saw this, a smile appeared on his face.
Emperor Li Sheng was the Brother-in-Law of Su Qin.
But Su Qin, for the sake of his younger sister Su Yueyun, would only help Emperor Li Sheng if he was in grave danger.
But in other matters, Su Qin was reluctant to take care of it.
Otherwise, if Su Qin would take action once Emperor Li Sheng encountered something every single time, how can he Cultivate?
There were hundreds of millions of living beings in the Tang Empire, there were so many big and small things happening every day. If Su Qin manages them one by one, I am afraid that he will not be able to Cultivate to an Earth Immortal before dying of old age.
Su Qin stayed in the Imperial Palace because he valued the cleanliness of this place, and no one disturbed him. Doing so just beats his purpose.
Besides, Su Qin had already done enough for Emperor Li Sheng.
If it weren’t for Su Qin, Emperor Li Sheng would have already died in the hands of the assassins when he was going to visit the Su Family, not to mention the time of Prince Chen’s rebellion.
Su Qin had rescued Emperor Li Sheng three times by now, and even helped him ascend to the throne, this was enough to offset him borrowing the Palace.
“I’ll go on retreat for a period of time and stabilize my realm.”
Su Qin’s thoughts turned sharply, and a decision was made in his heart.
Before his retreats, Su Qin would put a string of Divine Sense on the Su Family and Emperor Tang to ensure that their lives would not be endangered during his retreat. As for other things, he completely let go.
At the same time when Su Qin began his retreat, the Tang Empire felt rising waves.
Ever since the ten Kings secretly instructed the Officials to attack the Emperor, and after learning that the Emperor fell ill, they became even more arrogant.
The Jiannan King even laughed at the Emperor in public.
When Emperor Tang Li Sheng heard the news, his expression did not change nor did he make a move.
This behavior of his, made the Kings feel that Emperor Tang was subdued by their attack. For a while, the power of the Kings in the Tang Empire was overwhelming.
Time passed slowly and in a blink of an eye, two years passed.
In the past two years, the Kings’ confidence has grown stronger and stronger, the Anxi King even asked the Emperor for a fief.
When this incident spread to the Court, it directly made the Officials, that’s on the side of the Emperor, be filled with indignation.
The territories of the ten Kings together accounted for nearly one-fifth of the territory of the Tang Empire. If a fief was granted again, wasn’t that giving the opportunity to give out half of the Tang Empire’s territory to the Kings?
Moreover, once this fief is approved, the Kings would become even more bold and ask for a second and third time.
By that time, the Tang Empire might as well change its name directly.
However, at this time, Emperor Li Sheng gave an order, dispatched the Army and burned the spy strongholds within Chang’an City.
In addition, the moles of the Kings were stripped of their positions, regardless of how high their position was.
In the past two years, it appeared that Emperor Li Sheng did nothing. Instead, he secretly investigated/identified the spies and chess pieces arranged by the Kings in Chang’an City.
Today, when the Kings were the most arrogant, was the day the Emperor finally took action and pulled out the weeds in one fell swoop.
This time, Emperor Li Sheng’s move was very successful.
After two years of forbearance, this sudden move of the Emperor directly shook the Kings.
…
In the same small town.
The ten Kings gathered again.
“What’s the matter? Isn’t the Emperor staying silent? Why did I suddenly lose contact with my people in Chang’an City overnight?”
The Jiannan King’s expression was extremely ugly. He almost roared this sentence out.
“Why are you asking me, how do I know?” The He Dong King’s eyes were also gloomy and his face showed his impatience.
He was also distressed about his own people disappearing from Chang’an City, how could he care about the Jiannan King’s words?
“This is troublesome…”
“Without them, wouldn’t us Kings be equivalent to a blind person? We don’t know anything about Chang’an City…”
The Fan Yang King sighed and looked at the other Kings: “What should we do now?”
“Damn it.”
“The Emperor really did us dirty. When he fell ill with anger two years ago, I was wondering if it was true. But it seems that 80% of it was actually false news. He was waiting for us to expose our flaws…”
The Shufang King sighed lightly.
The Kings were aware of the seriousness of the matter. Once the moles were pulled out, they will not be able to know any news about Chang’an City. It was equivalent to having a knife hanging over their heads, and they didn’t know when it would fall.
Just when the Kings were at a loss.
A voice suddenly sounded: “It’s very simple, you directly opposed the Emperor.”
