Starting as a God-Emperor by Intercepting Destiny

0052 After obtaining the Heavenly Fate Bone, Zhao Jing also wanted to take away the Dragon Qi.

Destiny Bone.

The source of all chaos.

It surpasses all the treasures of the Great Yong Dynasty.

It was something that made the Yuwen family willing to slaughter the entire Mang Village to keep the secret.

It was a treasure that completely escalated the conflict between the royal family and the Yuwen family.

Once the three Destiny Bones are united, no one will be able to stop him.

Now the last and most important piece has fallen into Zhao Jing's hands.

It looks crystal clear, radiating a mysterious glow, and possesses an indescribable power that makes people want to integrate it into their bodies.

Thump, thump.

Zhao Jing's heart raced, but he did not immediately merge with it. Instead, he immediately stored the Heavenly Fate Bone into his Sumeru Ring to prevent its power from leaking out.

Because he remembered something.

Once the Heavenly Fate Bone is fused, it will manifest extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth, practically telling others.

There's treasure here, come and get it quickly.

Shen Changsheng's hometown was destroyed by the Heavenly Fate Bone.

He cannot repeat the same mistake.

Zhao Jing restrained his greed and bowed to Emperor Taizu:

"Ancestors above, please bestow your blessings and help your descendants conceal the traces."

"To prevent the fusion of the Destiny Bones from leaking the news."

Time is of the essence; he must take Bao'er and run away immediately.

A strange phenomenon appears on the road, which will kill Bao'er.

Therefore, he set his sights on Emperor Taizu, who smiled faintly:

"Boy, you just tried to blow up my tomb."

"Now, calling someone 'ancestor' feels quite affectionate."

Zhao Jing bowed respectfully and said:

"Our ancestor was a man of great talent and wisdom, decisive and wise. His descendants were just talking nonsense."

"Please forgive me, Ancestor!"

A true man can bend and stretch. Since the founding emperor has given us such good things, we might as well call him "ancestor" a few more times.

Emperor Taizu couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Unfortunately, I cannot help you."

"Originally, this Destiny Bone was meant for the victor."

"You've managed to overcome all odds and fight your way here, which pleases me greatly, so I'm giving you this chance."

"You each won half the battle."

"Once Zhao Huang obtains the Imperial Seal, the power of the Imperial Mausoleum will be at her disposal."

"And you obtained the Bone of Destiny, stealing the destiny that belonged to her."

"The next time I visit the imperial mausoleum, I hope that the one who comes will be the ultimate victor."

The smile on Emperor Taizu's face gradually disappeared, and he became serious.

"The descendants I prefer are those who can win."

If you can't win, then all is lost.

Understood.

Losers are not worthy to be your descendants.

In the end, the winner of the Nine Princes' Succession Struggle was recognized, even a rather ruthless prince like Prince Qi.

These ancestors placed great importance on the enjoyment of incense offerings and would treat outstanding descendants with special favor.

For example, Emperor Shizong's aura was significantly stronger than that of Emperor Qinzong and Emperor Huizong.

These two most disgraceful emperors barely received any offerings and remained pitifully weak.

After all, the Dayong royal family itself looked down on them, so naturally they wouldn't allocate much incense offerings to them.

They don't deserve to be at the table.

If it weren't for the blood relation, they would have been kicked out long ago.

Zhao Jing still smiled and said:

"The descendants understand."

"The descendants have sworn that they will first focus on suppressing the Yuwen family's power and never allow the Yuwen family to sit at the table."

"If our descendants are destined to lose, then let our aunt win. We will never drag her down to hell with us."

Zhao Jing wasn't implying that the pot would rot on the meat; rather, he was making a sinister threat.

Ancestor, you'd better think this through.

If they don't offer any benefits, then I will focus on weakening my aunt's power so that the Yuwen family can gain power more quickly.

My aunt still has some power to rely on and can fight against the Yuwen family, but he will completely destroy her power.

If we're going to die, we'll die together.

Although both were rebellions, Zhao Jing's strategies for suppressing them differed.

If he chooses the path that would lead to the downfall of the Zhao family and the death of the eldest princess, then the Zhao royal family will be in trouble.

"Hahaha!"

Emperor Taizu, being such a shrewd man, could not possibly fail to grasp the implication, and he laughed once more:

"He is indeed my family's prodigy."

Zhao Jing said without changing his expression:

"It's all thanks to the good teachings of our ancestors."

The ability to create false claims is also a basic skill for politicians.

First, fabricate an opinion, and then use it to gain benefits.

If the Zhao family has many descendants, Zhao Jing's threat will naturally be ineffective.

Now, only two core members remain among the Zhao family's descendants.

Zhao Jing naturally seized upon this weakness.

Emperor Taizu suppressed his smile:

"I've given it to you."

"You possess a Buddhist treasure within you, and you're about to break through to the Dao artifact level."

"I'll lend you a hand."

"After all, how can my descendants exclusively use Buddhist teachings?"

Ordinary tools, sharp tools, precious tools, Daoist tools, and immortal tools.

What is the Dao and its implements?

It will awaken its will, have its own path, and be able to absorb the power of incense offerings and pass on the tradition.

Aside from ancestral tombs, the true inheritance artifacts of major martial arts sects are Dao artifacts.

As a force influencing the political situation of the Great Yong Dynasty, Longhua Temple possessed only one Taoist artifact.

It must attain enlightenment in order to pass on the tradition and maintain its incense offerings.

The pagoda in Zhao Jing's hands has never been able to attain enlightenment and thus cannot pass on the lineage.

Despite receiving constant offerings of incense at Longhua Temple, it still falls short.

What's missing?

A kingly demeanor.

Any spiritual artifact symbolizes the transmission of an academic tradition; Longhua Temple already has a Maitreya Buddha statue.

The Maitreya Buddha statue has absorbed all the incense offerings along this road. Even if some of those offerings were given to the stupa, it would still be much more difficult for the statue to advance to the next level.

It's not that it's impossible, but it will be even more difficult.

The orthodox tradition, the orthodox tradition.

The Way is thought, and unity is inheritance.

If you want to become a Dao artifact, you must become the core of the Dao lineage; this is the fastest way.

If not, then you have to endure it slowly.

If it is worshipped for another hundred years, the pagoda can also be upgraded to a spiritual artifact, but that would take too long.

Emperor Taizu saw this and sent an amazing gift.

The Emperor's Dragon Aura.

This can transform the treasure, giving it a kingly aura. As for what lineage it will inherit, we'll discuss that in the future.

Emperor Taizu also took the opportunity to refine the remaining will of Abbot Liaochen.

"not good!"

Abbot Liaochen wanted to communicate with Zhao Jing more, but unexpectedly, the contact was broken so quickly.

Boom!

Zhao Jing felt a change in the pagoda within his body, with an added wisp of dragon energy.

It attained enlightenment.

The pagoda shone brightly, but a five-clawed silver dragon appeared around it, circling the pagoda.

A Dao artifact, a Dao artifact that has not yet been inscribed with the Dao tradition.

With the existence of the Dao artifact, one can conceal oneself from being tracked for thousands of miles, comparable to Tu Su's starry eyes.

Zhao Jing bowed respectfully:

"Thank you, Ancestor."

"The descendants will not let the Yuwen family succeed. If things fail, the Yuwen family will be sent to hell first."

After releasing the dragon's aura, the founding emperor's face turned somewhat pale. He simply waved his hand and said:

"Wait until you win before you say these things."

Zhao Jing had received nourishment from the dragon's energy, and the blood that had just flowed out had already healed.

He walked out of the imperial mausoleum without looking back.

The other emperors couldn't help but shout:

"Your Majesty, how can you bestow dragon energy upon such a rebellious person, lest he harm his health?"

Even with the power of incense offerings and prayers, this dragon energy is the result of a century of accumulation.

Only Emperor Taizong and Emperor Shizong seemed to understand something, and asked in unison:

"Grand Ancestor, could it be that something unexpected has happened to him?"

Emperor Taizu nodded:

"Indeed, Zhao Huang had an extraordinary help by her side, which reversed her fate."

"I initially thought she had victory in the bag, but now it seems that may not be the case."

"A new era has arrived. The Zhao family must select the most outstanding descendants to avoid disappointing the Divine Emperor."

"Next, we must act in accordance with the rules, and Zhao Huang will receive everything she is entitled to."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Successive emperors all obeyed.

At this moment, Zhao Jing emerged from the imperial tomb. Eunuch Xu suddenly realized what was happening and couldn't help but exclaim:

"You are not a member of the Yuwen family at all."

"We've been scammed!"

After saying that, Eunuch Xu unleashed his full aura.

"What exactly do you want?"

Bao'er raised her heart rate to its highest level; she had already swallowed the Life-Creating Pill.

Be ready for battle at any time.

Zhao Jing didn't care, and walked out step by step, calmly saying:

"Eunuch Xu, I have already received the Emperor's blessing and obtained the Emperor's dragon aura."

"Do you want to be my enemy?"

This……

Eunuch Xu was drenched in sweat.

The dragon tower loomed menacingly, with Zhao Jing right in front of them.

He could sense the dragon's aura and the presence of Dao artifacts, which made Zhao Jing seem unfathomable.

Unwilling to bow his head, Eunuch Xu lowered it:

"This servant wouldn't dare."

Eunuchs often referred to themselves as "slave" in front of their masters.

In this world full of scum, Eunuch Xu hasn't done anything bad, so he's already a rare good person.

Zhao Jing offered a reminder:

"Eunuch Xu, let's go quickly."

"You're not a bad person, don't get involved in this."

"When the country is restored in the future, I will remember your kindness."

"Remember, it was I who told you to leave."

"Your Highness?"

Eunuch Xu trembled, then agreed:

"I will leave immediately and will not stay here."

Zhao Jing cannot fight with Xu Gonggong here.

Even with the help of Longlou, it would be impossible to kill a Grandmaster in a short time.

Not to mention that Eunuch Xu is a powerful figure among grandmasters.

It's normal that they couldn't defeat Eunuch Xu even when they joined forces.

We must trick him into leaving.

Eunuch Xu didn't want to harm the princes and grandsons of the dragon, but upon hearing Zhao Jing's words about fleeing for his life, he immediately had an idea.

Run away as fast as you can.

Anyway, the eldest princess will take care of the imperial mausoleum.

The thought of escaping suddenly makes the world seem vast.

Even a grandmaster-level expert can find a way to make a living anywhere.

Originally, eunuchs and martial artists all swore an oath before the royal artifacts, and it was impossible for them to break their oath.

Now that Zhao Jing has obtained a wisp of dragon energy, he directly promises that he ordered Eunuch Xu to escape.

This is the master's order.

Eunuch Xu understood immediately and ran away.

With him gone, Zhao Jing finally relaxed and said to Bao'er:

"Run!"

I haven't fused with the Destiny Bone yet, and I haven't made any noise. Everything seems quiet, which is the perfect time to run away.

Zhao Jing quickly collected Long Lou's remains to prevent him from falling behind Bao'er and wasting his energy.

Bao'er quickly carried Zhao Jing on her back and accelerated to the maximum speed.

Speedy!

A flash of light appeared on Longevity Mountain; she ran faster than she could fly.

Escape.

By the time the enemy realized what was happening, Bao'er had already vanished without a trace.

Only at this moment did Zhao Jing remove the last piece of the Destiny Bone from Bao'er's back.

Mandate of Heaven, Mandate of Heaven.

The three life bones each have different effects.

Zhao Jing remembered it very clearly.

The item in Shen Changsheng's hand is called [Defying Fate].

The Grand Tutor's Mansion possesses something called "Unpredictable Fate".

What Emperor Hongjing secretly hid was considered "the mandate of heaven".
