Eternal Life as False Emperor-Chapter 56 - 55: Breaking Through to the Innate Stage

Chapter 56: Chapter 55: Breaking Through to the Innate Stage

Even Consort Duann glanced at Zheng Yi and then turned toward Noble Lady Zhen and her daughters.

"Noble Lady Zhen, this is the harem. Some matters can be discussed behind closed doors, but if they spread outside..."

Noble Lady Zhen was startled and quickly pulled Jie’er and Yu’er to kneel down: "Your, Your Majesty, Consort, Consort Duann, Jie’er and Yu’er are still young and ignorant, I hope..."

"It doesn’t matter."

Zheng Yi waved his hand and said: "Get up, Jie’er and Yu’er are so adorable, I also like them very much."

"Luan’er, Jie’er and Yu’er have special identities, you will understand in the future."

Dongyun Jie and Dongyun Yu are the daughters of Dongyun Feng, who is the heir of a cultivation clan.

Although he didn’t have the qualifications for cultivation, it was uncertain whether Jie’er and Yu’er might have it.

But for now, they’re too young, without cultivation techniques, they can only be nurtured first.

After all, they are just two little girls, without much trouble.

Moreover, Jie’er and Yu’er are very cute and lively; every time he visits Noble Lady Zhen, the two girls would cling to him and play.

Even at night, the two little girls would sneakily squeeze between him and Noble Lady Zhen and sleep with their arms around his shoulders.

These two little girls have long regarded him as a father figure.

"This..."

The eyes of several women flickered, and Consort Duann frowned, glancing at Noble Lady Zhen and said: "Stand up."

"Th-thank you, Consort Duann..."

Jie’er and Yu’er stood behind Noble Lady Zhen, strangely looking at Your Majesty and Consort Duann.

What happened to Emperor Brother and Consort Sister?

Why are they angry?

Why is Mother holding their little hands so tightly?

Each person’s thoughts were different, while Zheng Yi sensed the Pure Yin Qi gradually dissipating from these children, inwardly nodding.

It appeared there wouldn’t be any scheme of switching the Crown Prince with a civet cat today.

What the Empress Dowager and Empress did still makes him apprehensive.

After the room was cleaned, Zheng Yi brought Xu Qingluan and the child inside.

"Your Majesty~"

Consort De Li Changle had recovered quite a bit, whispering: "I am incapable, unable to give birth to a prince for Your Majesty."

Zheng Yi comforted her: "What are you saying, Consort De? I like daughters very much too, so rest well."

Consort Duann also said: "Don’t worry, Sister Changle, there’s plenty of time, and you’ll surely give birth to a Dragon Child for Your Majesty!"

"Sister is teasing me~"

"Your Majesty, quickly give the child a name. She’s so adorable~"

Zheng Yi announced the name he had long thought of: "As makers say, good words bring good fortune, long life and happiness, everlasting joy."

"Le’er, let’s name our daughter ’Zheng Yuyang’, title ’Princess Weiyang’!"

"Princess Weiyang, fitting well with your name."

"Weiyang, Weiyang..."

Consort De repeated the name, her face beaming with happiness: "Thank you, Your Majesty~!"

"Buzz...~!"

At that very moment, Zheng Yi sharply sensed a strange fluctuation coming from the surrounding air.

Xu Qingluan’s response was even more immediate; she quickly stood beside Zheng Yi and said: "Your Majesty! This aura... a martial artist is breaking through!"

"Innate Realm Martial Artist!"

"Right within the Imperial Palace!"

Zheng Yi felt a surge of emotion and quickly reassured her: "Consort De, rest well. I’ll be right back." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Alright, Your Majesty, be careful~!"

The group quickly exited, and at that moment, the Imperial Army within the palace was alarmed, with many running toward the location to guard Zheng Yi.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the wing rooms east of Yong’an Palace.

Or rather, at the two wing rooms separated by merely three to five meters.

Two distinct auras emanated from those wing rooms.

One was eerie and cold, with a few black shadows rushing out from the room.

The nearby Imperial Army members felt as if they were plummeting into an ice cave, their bodies shivering.

In Zheng Yi’s view, numerous black shadows enveloped the structure, flickering like haunting spirits.

In a moment, one could even hear deep, mournful wails of evil ghosts.

"Is that... the wing room where Chen Liancang is staying?"

Zheng Yi murmured, as expected.

He relied on the daughters born from several consorts, and indeed, the Pure Yin Qi could affect a martial artist’s cultivation!

When Consort De gave birth, he deliberately arranged Chen Liancang and Prince Xian nearby, hoping they could quickly absorb the Pure Yin Qi.

Sure enough, just a scent of incense since Consort De gave birth, and Chen Liancang reacted!

This aura marked the commotion from breaking through the Grandmaster Realm to the Innate Realm!

Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi created corresponding phenomena based on a martial artist’s cultivation and inner strength!

This phenomenon lasted for barely ten breaths, and then from the other side of the wing room, another intense wave emerged.

"Awooo~!"

A blue light burst out from the wing room, driving back Chen Liancang’s shadows.

Simultaneously, the blue light took the shape of a giant serpent in the air, roaring skyward.

Prince Xian!

Zheng Zongxian!

He... broke through too!

Innate Realm Martial Artist!

The celestial changes caused by their breakthroughs showed the differences in their cultivation techniques.

Chen Liancang cultivated the "Black Lotus Treasure Manual," producing soft, eerie inner strength, filled with corrosive power, and quite swift, making his aura extraordinarily sinister.

Though Zheng Yi was unaware of Prince Xian’s cultivation technique, it must be passed down through the royal family, embodying vast and majestic energy.

"Buzz..."

In the sky, the two distinct auras clashed, intertwined, biting, and contending.

Yet the same energy continued to ascend.

The turbulent waves filled the entire palace.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat immediately!"

At Zheng Yi’s command, the surrounding Imperial Army rapidly pulled back, leaving an expansive open space.
