Unparalleled Martial Arts

After listening to Huo Luo's report, Empress Wu was silent for a moment, "It worsens... Looks like Precious Consort and the Skythunder Dynasty's killers are still very deep."    

While Empress Wu was thinking, the supervisor beside Kaiser came over to inform her that Huo Luo had gotten some news. The supervisor beside Kaiser could be considered to have officially informed her.    

After getting the notification, Empress Wu stood up, "Go and inform the other concubines!"    

"Yes!" After getting Empress Wu's order, the general manager beside Kaiser went to inform the others. Without Empress Wu's order, he wouldn't dare. Not to mention that the entire Great Zhou Empire was now under Empress Wu's control. Even before this, Empress Wu was also the one who calculated the inside and outside of the Imperial Palace.    

When they arrived at the Hidden Dragon Palace where Kaiser and Zhou Lu were recuperating, Empress Wu saw the dispirited Zhou Lu. His condition was extremely low, and the energy in his body was extremely unstable.    

"How is it?" Empress Wu asked.    

"The dark energy and elemental energy have been completely mixed together. If you want to solve this problem, you have to disperse all of your cultivation." Great Zhou's Kaiser, Zhou Lu, looked at Empress Wu and said.    

"Then disperse your cultivation base and beg for something else if you are still alive." Empress Wu said.    

Zhou Lu looked at Empress Wu and sighed. He was very helpless. This time, he had been tricked too badly.    

They did not talk anymore. After sitting for a while, Empress Wu got up and left.    

Zhou Lu's injuries worsened. The dark energy mixed with the Essence Qi. There was really no solution to this. Zhou Lu had already lost the absolute control over his Essence Qi. There were only two options for him to take the initiative to refine the ___. Either he would die, or he would scatter his cultivation base.    

After leaving the Hidden Dragon Palace, Empress Wu shook her head. She knew that this was the end of Zhou Lu. Next, it was up to him to make arrangements for the heir apparent. If he made the right arrangements, it would be fine. But if he made the wrong arrangements, the Great Zhou Empire would definitely cause a huge commotion.    

All the concubines in the harem knew about Zhou Lu's situation. After that, Prince began to gather power and secretly prepare. Kaiser was not in a good condition, so he naturally had to consider the arrangement of the Crown Prince.    

However, Prince and Zhou Yuanqing did not dare to make a big move. Because the right to speak about the Great Zhou Empire was in the hands of Zhou Queen, and the entire Capital's military force was under Zhou Yuanshuo's control. Whoever overstepped their boundaries would be mercilessly suppressed. Empress Wu was in charge, and Zhou Yuanshuo was powerful. These were all supported by Martial King. Currently, it was unshakable.    

Martial King was different from the current Kaiser and Zhou Lu. Zhou Lu had always been in charge of the Great Zhou Empire without doing anything. Martial King, on the other hand, was an iron-blooded killer. He chose Zhou Lu to inherit the throne. This was because during Martial King's reign, he had killed too many people. He needed a gentle monarch to deal with the aftermath. This was also the reason why Zhou Lu was able to ascend the throne.    

Qin Chu didn't know about these things. Every day, he would settle down, cultivate the swordsmanship, and cultivate the soul to attack.    

After settling down, Qin Chu stayed in the various books and pavilions of the Capital. He searched for ancient books and records about Cang Lei. He felt that Cang Yun was already so powerful. The Cang Lei that Cang Yun was afraid of was definitely not a nameless person. There would definitely be records about him.    

However, after searching for so many days, there were no clues. This situation made Qin Chu feel very strange. He felt that this situation shouldn't be the case. When Qin Chu and Zhou Yuanshuo met on this day, he asked about it.    

"Cang Lei? He is the First Emperor of the Skythunder Dynasty, the Titled Heavenly Thunder Sovereign. He is the sworn enemy of our Great Zhou Empire. Our Great Zhou's First Emperor died after losing the battle with him. However, Cang Lei's condition isn't good either. He was injured by our Great Zhou's First Emperor. His origin was injured, and his cultivation base has declined. Furthermore, it's irreversible. Right now, his strength is about the same as our Zhou Family's Old Ancestor. According to the historical records, he appeared once, and was forced back by our Mount Great Emperor's Old Ancestor. " Zhou Yuanshuo said.    

"Isn't the Old Ancestor in your Zhou Family First Emperor?" Qin Chu was shocked. He had always thought that the Ancestor of the Zhou Family was Emperor of Great Zhou.    

"No! The old man was First Emperor's Grandson. It was during that period. The most outstanding disciple of the Zhou Family, during the battle with the Skythunder Dynasty. Many of the people in the Zhou Family had fallen. He quickly rose up. He has stabilized the Great Zhou. He is now the stabilizing pillar of our Great Zhou Empire. " Zhou Yuanshuo said to Qin Chu.    

"I understand." Qin Chu nodded. He finally understood who Cang Lei was and why he couldn't find out about the book. It was because the book only recorded Heavenly Thunder Sovereign, not Cang Lei.    

"Why did you ask Cang Lei?" Zhou Yuanshuo was a little puzzled. Most people really didn't know that the Skythunder Dynasty's First Emperor was called Cang Lei.    

"We did not hide anything from each other. I will tell you what I can tell you, okay?" Qin Chu looked at Zhou Yuanshuo.    

Zhou Yuanshuo nodded. He understood Qin Chu, and he also understood Qin Chu. If Qin Chu wanted to hide it, he could just use an excuse.    

"I have met an old friend of Cang Lei's and promised him. Don't tell me anything about him, but he reminded me. You must be careful of Cang Lei, because when Cang Lei sees me, he will deduce some things about him." Qin Chu said.    

"We should have done what we promised him. However, this old man is a figure from the same era as Cang Lei. He must be very powerful. How can you meet all kinds of people?" Zhou Yuanshuo looked at Qin Chu with a surprised expression.    

"I don't know what's going on either. I also feel dizzy. Cang Lei is the First Emperor of the Skythunder Dynasty. I don't think there will be any gathering between us." Qin Chu heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't want to implicate Cang Yun.    

"You two are still chatting. The food and drinks are ready!" Shangguan Waner came to call Qin Chu and Zhou Yuanshuo to eat.    

After resting for two more days, Qin Chu entered the Void Spirit Pagoda and began cultivating. He continued to polish his domain, and at the same time, he tried to comprehend the Domain Power's core. This time, Qin Chu's luck was here. One month after he entered the Void Spirit Pagoda, Qin Chu had grasped the true essence of the Domain Power's core.    

This situation made Qin Chu extremely happy. This was within the Void Spirit Pagoda. Otherwise, he would have roared out a few times to vent his anger. Grasping the true essence of the Domain Power's core was equivalent to half a step into the Saint Ruler Realm.    

After Qin Chu grasped the true essence of the Domain Power's core and stabilized his realm, the Void Spirit Pagoda's artifact spirit appeared.    

"With such a deep accumulation, it's natural for me to seize this opportunity. It won't be long before I congratulate you on becoming Saint Ruler." The Tower of the Void's artifact spirit said.    

"Thank you, Senior." Qin Chu gave Holy Spirit a fist salute.    

Artifact spirit's Tower of the Void trembled as he looked at Qin Chu. "Where did you go a while ago?"    

"I went out for a tough-training." Qin Chu replied. He did not understand why the Void Spirit Pagoda artifact spirit would ask such a question.    

"Previously, I couldn't see through your fate trajectory, and now, I can't see through it either. However, I found two dark and unclear fate trajectories. One is fortune, and the other is evil fate." The Tower of the Void's artifact spirit said.    

After a moment of silence, Qin Chu nodded and said, "Junior understands what's going on. I will be careful."    

"You don't understand at all. What level are these two paths of fate at? They are both Emperor Rank. What exactly have you experienced?" After saying that, without waiting for Qin Chu's reply, the Tower of the Void's artifact spirit left.    

Qin Chu continued his cultivation and continued to study the true meaning of the Domain Power's core. He understood what the two paths of fate in the Void Spirit Pagoda were referring to. The fortune was naturally Cang Yun. As for the evil fate, it was the Skythunder Dynasty's First Emperor, Cang Lei.
