Chapter 472: Ninth-Level Soul Instructor Ran Yuming, the Court Begins! [4k Subscription Required! ]
The old emperor is fine.
However, unexpectedly, during this period, the Prince's Mansion has frequently reported that Xu Tianran is suffering from a serious illness. And because Xu Tianran has never appeared to respond, the rumors have intensified.
It has even spread to the Sun and Moon Court, and people from all walks of life are talking about it. However, because it is not clear whether it is true or false, everyone is keeping a wait-and-see attitude, waiting for the situation to change.
And this news has attracted Su Luoheng's attention.
If there were no future images observed by the Eye of Destiny, Su Luoheng would also suspect that the news of the serious illness was a smokescreen deliberately released by Xu Tianran. Used to confuse other camps.
But now, Su Luoheng thinks it is very likely to be the truth.
Because from the analysis of the future images, it takes time for the poison of faith to erode from the beginning to the complete outbreak.
Otherwise, Xu Tianran would not have had problems until he arrived at the court.
It is even more impossible that Xu Tianran is the only one who has mutated in the court. The entire Sun and Moon Empire, and even the entire Douluo Continent, will erupt in full, not just some humans.
So -
Before the poison of faith completely erupts, the eroded individual will definitely have some precursor reactions under the influence of this force. Similar to irritability, or serious illness.
As for the duration of the outbreak, it is related to the eroded individual.
But the specific factors are not clear yet.
However, Xu Tianran's sudden illness attracted Su Luoheng's attention.
Although Xu Tianran's physical condition has not been very good since he became disabled in both legs. But I remember that he had not shown any signs before he left Mingdu.
So is this sudden illness related to the outbreak of the poison of faith?
And further: Is it because Xu Tianran himself has incomplete limbs, so he was most severely eroded by the poison of faith, and finally mutated under the stimulation of everyone.
Even...
Continue to speculate boldly: Maybe the reason why the Sun and Moon Empire was the most seriously poisoned by the poison of faith among the four empires is also related to the physique of the people?
You know, the Sun and Moon Empire has always been inclined to develop in the direction of soul guides and improve elixirs. As a result, the physical fitness of the people in the country is generally weaker than that of the Three Kingdoms of Douluo.
Su Luoheng's suspicion is not without basis. If we use the physical fitness as an argument, this reason can also stand up to scrutiny.
"..."
Thinking of this, Su Luoheng's eyes moved slightly.
But in the final analysis, this is just a speculation of his own. Although I think it has a certain possibility, there is no decisive evidence to determine this assumption.
Therefore, it can only be listed as one of the possibilities.
...
...
After returning to Mingdu.
Through Xu Jinyu, Su Luoheng has been paying close attention to the development of the Sun and Moon Empire and collecting intelligence. Since King Heng's body recovered, he has also returned to the political center.
The investigation of other aspects was handed over to Zhen Reqing to collect.
Although he really has no talent in soul guides, he is absolutely the best in interpersonal relationships. He is even more prosperous in the business world and has helped Su Luoheng accumulate a lot of wealth.
It can be said that Zhen Reqing has made great contributions to the development of [Chaldea] to where it is today. His current network of contacts has expanded from the Sun and Moon Academy to the Mingdu business circle.
Merchants travel all over the country and have some understanding of what is happening between countries on the continent, which is the most suitable for gathering information.
As for Ma Xiaotao, Zhang Lexuan, and Ye Guyi, Su Luoheng arranged them to the soul guide corps secretly trained by Xu Jinyu. With the strength of the three people and the soul guide, the strength they can exert can be imagined.
Although Xu Tianran will not live for long, there are other princes fighting for the throne without him. It is better to prepare in advance to ensure that everything will be safe at that time.
And even if it is not used when fighting for the throne, it will still be useful when the golden ancient tree completely erupts to deal with the monsters generated by the poison of faith.
No matter how you calculate it, this soul guide corps will not be wasted.
As for the fact that Xu Tianran will be eroded by the poison of faith, Su Luoheng did not tell anyone except Xue Di. After all, this matter is of great importance and it is not appropriate to let too many people know in advance.
There is still a few days between the old emperor being seriously ill and ordering the prince to supervise the country. By then, when the old emperor is confirmed to be seriously ill, it will be in time to prepare.
Su Luoheng also had a selfish motive in this move.
If Xu Tianran died, it would be a great benefit for him.
Because if he died under the poison of faith, it would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble for Xu Jinyu's subsequent fight for the throne. So this result is most in line with his own interests.
Besides, he couldn't solve the problem of the poison of faith. Even if he wanted to save Xu Tianran, he couldn't do it. He should think carefully about how to receive his inheritance.
Once Xu Tianran died, his party was leaderless. If he could successfully receive this part of the power, it would be the best time for Xu Jinyu to step out from behind the scenes.
…
…
In addition, after returning to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Su Luoheng began to distribute the large amount of immortal grass harvested in the Ice and Fire Yin and Yang Eyes this time.
The candidates for the immortal grass this time were Ji Juechen, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, Nana, Ran Yuming, Ran Ruobing and other soul masters with good relationships and extraordinary talents.
Nana was originally under Su Luoheng's command.
And his own teacher and senior sister didn't need much.
As for Ji Juechen, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen, the exchange conditions for the immortal grass were the same as those of Ma Xiaotao and others, and they all joined Su Luoheng's forces.
And they agreed to this without any hesitation.
First, they trusted Su Luoheng.
Second, no soul master could refuse the immortal grass that could not only improve soul power, but also improve talent without any side effects.
"..."
The immortal herb that Su Luoheng prepared for Ji Juechen was the eight-petal immortal orchid used to strengthen the foundation and nourish the essence.
Although Ji Juechen was gifted in swordsmanship, his innate soul power was too low, and his soul power cultivation progress was slow. If there was no special opportunity, it would be the limit for him to break through the Soul Douluo in this life.
This eight-petal immortal orchid just made up for his shortcomings in this aspect.
After getting this immortal grass, Ji Juechen really lived up to expectations, and his soul power directly broke through the fifth level, and he was only one step away from breaking through the Soul Saint. The shackles of talent no longer exist.
The fairy grass Nana got was the Cold Spirit Ghost Flower. After absorbing it, her soul power successfully broke through to the Soul Emperor realm.
The fairy grass prepared for Meng Hongchen was a Snow Jade Ice Ganoderma Lucidum, which just matched her ice attribute soul power. After refining it, her soul power broke through to level 66 in one fell swoop.
Xiao Hongchen also absorbed a gold attribute fairy grass with attributes that matched his martial soul. His soul power broke through to level 68 in one fell swoop, and he was also one step away from Soul Saint.
Nana, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen are all the main players confirmed by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy for the next Soul Fighting Competition. Together with Su Luoheng and Gu Qianqiu, a total of five Soul Emperors, the lineup of Sun and Moon Academy this year is unprecedentedly strong.
There is a high probability that they will defend the championship of the Soul Fighting Competition.
Back to the point, the fairy grass Su Luoheng prepared for his teacher and senior sister was the Purple Orchid Seven Leaf Clover for repairing mental injuries and the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone for nourishing muscles and bones.
Ran Yuming was very nervous when he learned that there was hope for his mental injury to recover.
Since his mental power was injured, Ran Yuming has tried too many ways. He was afraid that the result this time would be another false joy, wasting his apprentice's kindness.
Fortunately, the result this time did not disappoint him again!
Under the nourishment of the purple orchid seven-leaf clover, Ran Yuming sensed that his broken spiritual sea began to repair. The originally weak mental power also became solid and tough, and the exhausted spiritual ocean began to gradually recover.
Mental power began to recover!
At this moment, Ran Yuming was so excited that his whole body trembled.
Even though he had accepted the reality that he was stuck at the seventh-level soul mentor and could never break through the titled Douluo for life. However, when the mental power really began to recover, the degree of surprise was incomparable to anything else.
Finally, I finally saw hope!
Ran Yuming tried to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart and continued to refine.
While his mental power was being repaired, the shackles of his mental power that had been stuck at the level 89 Soul Douluo for many years due to his mental power began to slowly improve, and his soul core condensed into shape.
So, under the nourishment of the immortal herbs, Ran Yuming simply condensed his first soul core and officially broke through to the Titled Douluo level. If it weren't for the problem with the sea of spirit, he would have been able to condense the soul core long ago.
"Hahaha!"
Ran Yuming was so excited that he couldn't express it in words and laughed out loud.
He thought he would be stuck here for the rest of his life, but when he had given up, his apprentice brought him a surprise.
At this moment, he was glad that he accepted Su Luoheng.
Seeing this scene, Su Luoheng laughed along.
"..."
Don't forget, Ran Yuming's main job is a soul guide. If it weren't for the soul power limit, he would have reached the level 9 soul guide long ago.
Now that there is no limit on soul power, it is easy for him to make an eighth-level soul guide. As for the ninth-level soul guide, it won't take long with his soul guide level.
He has mastered the theoretical knowledge to perfection, and now what he needs is a process of practice.
So after hearing that Su Luoheng needed a ninth-level soul guide sword, Ran Yuming took the initiative to take over this job and made this soul guide sword the first work after becoming a ninth-level soul guide.
Su Luoheng was naturally happy to see this happen.
There is no need to question his teacher's ability in soul guides.
"..."
Just like that, time flies.
In a blink of an eye, Su Luoheng has been back to Mingdu for more than five months.
During this time, in addition to practicing, he has always paid attention to the situation.
During this period, although Xu Tianran appeared in the court, there has been no end to the rumors about his long-term illness. And according to insiders in the palace, Xu Tianran's emotions have become more and more violent.
In addition, he finally waited for the most important news!
The old emperor suddenly fell ill and could not preside over the court meeting.
"It's finally going to start..."
Su Luoheng murmured, his expression solemn.
He knew that the future scene was about to be staged, and it was time for him to start preparing.
Thinking of this, Su Luoheng left the academy.
The first stop of the visit is the Prince Heng's Mansion!
…
…
Two days later.
Mingdu, Sun Moon Palace, in the court.
Officials of all levels are standing on the left and right of the hall.
After a short wait, Xu Tianran, surrounded by his attendants, dressed in the Sun Moon Royal Family's highest standard Sun Moon Crown Patterned Brocade Robe, stood in the Sun Moon Court with a level nine soul guide prosthesis.
He strode out and stood in front of the throne.
Looking at the Sun and Moon Emperor who was so close at hand, a fiery look flashed in his eyes. Although his face was slightly pale, it did not conceal his ambitious and sharp gaze.
Soon, soon!
Immediately, he can be in this position!
Xu Tianran took a deep breath, then sat on the smaller chair next to him, looking down at the civil and military officials below.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old."
Everyone knelt down on the ground and saluted.
"My dear friends, please be safe."
Xu Tianran raised his arm to give him some support, and a strange and unpredictable red light appeared in his majestic and cold eyes.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The ministers stood up and stood in two rows according to their official rank.
"My father is in poor health. For the sake of the stability of our empire, my father intends to let me supervise the country and govern the country during this period. I wonder if you have any objections?"
Xu Tianran's face was filled with a gentle smile, but his eyes were scanning the crowd sharply, giving them invisible pressure. But beneath this seemingly gentle and jade-like appearance, there is a hint of ruthlessness hidden.
"..."
"If you have no objections, then I—"
"Your Highness, I have objections!"
Suddenly, a minister came forward and said loudly: "His Majesty is seriously ill now, and I have heard that you are ill. If it is confirmed, I am afraid that the matter of supervising the country needs to be discussed again..."
"I also second the proposal. Your Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of the Sun and Moon, and is responsible for the future of our Sun and Moon Empire. Please ensure your health, and leave the responsibility of supervising the country to others!"
"Um?"
Xu Tianran still maintained a humble and kind smile on his face, but there was a chill in his eyes.
"What? Are you all opposed to my supervision of the country?"
"Your Highness, I forgive you. I have no objection. I just feel that you have just recovered and it would be best for you to rest quietly for a few days."
"Yes, as the Crown Prince, Your Highness should put your health first!"
"Your Highness, I second your proposal."
"..."
Suddenly, there was a chorus of agreement.
Everyone present was a smart person, and everyone knew that Xu Tianran wanted to consolidate his position as the crown prince through the position of supervising the country.
Once this decree is issued, all of them and other members of the prince's faction will definitely be liquidated from the court.
But they didn't want to end the chance to compete for the throne like this. As long as he didn't supervise other princes in the country, they would still have a chance. So they are trying to make it impossible for them to supervise the country.
Therefore, no matter which party the ministers were in, they were all united as never before. They just didn't want Xu Tianran to take the position of supervising the country. Although Xu Tianran controlled most of the court, it was still a little difficult to deal with it at the moment.
