Chapter 963 - Unintentional Good And Intentional Bad (1/2)

Lin Mu continued to listen to Tie Niu and learned more of the happenings of the empire.

The emperor continued to get sick, and now he was in a critical state. The empress was pushing for her son, the crown prince, to be made the emperor as soon as possible while the other concubines tried to put obstacles.

The biggest claim they had was the fact that the current crown prince was weak and only had a cultivation base at the peak stage of the core condensation realm.

'Oh, I remember him… back then he was the youngest person to have broken through to the Core condensation realm at twenty.' Lin Mu recalled.

Since that day, about nine years had passed and with the crown prince had reached the peak stage of the core condensation realm. This was a great increase compared to even a lot of top sect disciples.

But at the same time, Lin Mu could only imagine how many resources it would have needed for him to speed ahead of others.

'Though he is a crown prince, so has no lack of fortune.' Lin Mu thought to himself, completely forgetting how much he had consumed or how fast he had progressed.

The crown prince had recently turned thirty years old and if he became the emperor, he would be the youngest one to have become an emperor. While there had been a few emperors before him, the youngest one to become an emperor was still over one fifty years old.

The crown prince was breaking that record, and if he truly became an emperor, he would also be the one with the lowest cultivation base. Earlier, the weakest one to become an emperor was at the Child soul stage of the nascent soul realm.

The current emperor who was sick, was said to be at the Dao Shell realm, but only at the shell initiation stage. Compared to the earlier emperors, he was said to be the weakest ones, but now his son might take that stage.

Though Lin Mu still found it strange that they never managed to stop the emperor from being poisoned.

”Doesn't the imperial family have support from the rainbow pill sect? Then how is the emperor still so sick?” Lin Mu questioned Tie Niu.

”You don't know what happened?” Tie Niu questioned, feeling bewildered.

”What?” Lin Mu asked, having a bad feeling.

”The Rainbow pill sect and the Emperor had a falling out. The emperor found out that he was being poisoned and accused the rainbow pill sect of that. The empress was very upset with it all and tried to plead to the sect, but they did not accept it all.

They ended up cutting off contact. Though the empress is still said to be in contact with them.” Tie Niu answered.

”Dammit… seems like the Long Cloud sect couldn't get the information to the emperor on time.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

”Or it could be that the emperor is already too deranged to understand. It would make sense if the poison wasn't just affecting his body, but his mind too. That would be a smart move to do too.

After all, if your mind is still functioning well, you can think of ways to heal, but if that is sick too then even with a good body you are nothing.” Xukong chimed in.
