Chapter 204: Emperor 204

[… Vice Principal Zhou Zongye of the literature academy intervened, stopping the mana realm of the Cao family.]
[Another half year later, the empress suddenly summoned you into the palace. You arrive at the palace and meet a man dressed in a dragon robe, who transformed into a shadow and pounced on you. You die, at the age of twenty-three.]
The content of this simulation was quite brief.
“The emperor?”
Gu Yang didn’t expect that he would be killed by the emperor, who had very little presence.
In so many previous simulations, the emperor had never appeared.
Unexpectedly, the first time he appeared, he gave him such a big surprise.
It seems that the emperor, who was legendary for entering a demonized cultivation state during his childhood and couldn’t practice cultivation, was also not simple.
Even in the palace, where his true essence was suppressed, based on his strength of his mortal body, it would be difficult to kill him without the cultivation level of the mana realm.
This emperor, possessing such cultivation, still managed to deceive everyone in the world.
“So, the previous simulation suggested that the empress’s death was his doing.”
Gu Yang thought back to the emperor poisoning the empress after he saved Princess Chang. The key to it should lie with Princess Chang.
Previously, in the timeline where Princess Chang died, the emperor didn’t cause any troubles.
So why, in this simulation, did the emperor suddenly attempt to kill him?
The only change was that he defeated Lin Ruo Xi. But how did that affect the emperor?
[The simulation ends, and you can retain one of the following options.]
[One, the martial arts realm at the age of twenty-three.]
[Two, the martial art experience at the age of twenty-three.]
[Three, the life wisdom at the age of twenty-three.]
Gu Yang thought for a moment and chose the third option.
Immediately, a memory appeared in his mind. In the Qi Feng Pavilion, on the empress’s seat, sat a middle-aged man in a dragon robe, emanating a charming aura.
The next moment, the middle-aged man transformed into a black shadow and lunged at him. His vision went black, and he knew nothing more.
The last thought in his mind was, “The palace is too dangerous; one mustn’t go casually.”
“Heavenly Extreme Divine Technique!”
After re-experiencing the scene of his death, Gu Yang was taken aback.
The technique used by the emperor was the same as the one used by the creature who claimed to be the Heavenly Extreme Taoist at Lian Mountain.
In one of the previous simulations, he was possessed by the Heavenly Extreme Taoist and learned the Heavenly Extreme Divine Technique. The martial art experience was still there, so he recognized it at once.
How does the emperor know the Heavenly Extreme Divine Technique?
Could it be that he was possessed by the Heavenly Extreme Taoist?
How did the Heavenly Extreme Taoist, who was far away at Lian Mountain, get all the way to Divine City?
With his usual deeds, wouldn’t he massacre his way to Divine City? It’s impossible that there wouldn’t be any news about it.
All Gu Yang had were questions.
This was indeed no trivial matter. He had been possessed by the Heavenly Extreme Taoist in the simulation, and he knew how terrifying the Heavenly Extreme Divine Technique was.
The emperor managed to reach the mana realm level in such a short time. God knows how many people’s powers he had absorbed.
The palace was full of powerful martial artists, even a few at the Unleaking Realm.
It’s possible that the emperor could advance directly into the Celestial Being realm through them. Then who in the world could stop him?
This was extremely dangerous.
Gu Yang felt uneasy as he thought about a ticking bomb in the palace. He told Xi Huang and then left.
The Divine City houses two academies—the literature academy to the east and the martial arts academy to the west.
Compared to the already declining martial arts academy, the literature academy is thriving today.
