Chapter 1054: Chapter 0621 The Old House Is On Fire_2 Chapter 1054: Chapter 0621 The Old House Is On Fire_2 Fortunately, he encountered Qi Tian, and with Qi Tian’s help, his ridians were unblocked, and the remaining dan toxicity in his ridians dissipated by seventy to eighty percent. He was reborn, advancing from the Gold Core Stage Level 6 to the Golden Core Stage Seventh Level, his lifespan was extended, and he successfully walked out from the small space.
Emperor Jianwu’s experience could be said to be a microcosm of the situation for all the princes in the Imperial Family Secret Territory, with so being more severe and others less so. Emperor Jianwu didn’t believe that Master Qi couldn’t see the basic situation clearly. Since he could see it clearly and still spoke this way, there must be profound aning behind it, not just idle talk.
Thoughts raced through Emperor Jianwu’s mind as he pondered the significance behind Master Qi’s words, certain it wasn’t just to hear how the Huoyang Emperor complained. After careful consideration, Emperor Jianwu thought of a possibility and, eager to speak before Qi Tian could, he said, “Huoyang Emperor, I don’t quite agree with you. Who says there are only two ways to strengthen ourselves? Have you forgotten there is a third option?”
The Huoyang Emperor looked at Emperor Jianwu and said, “What third option is there?”
Emperor Jianwu said, “If there weren’t a third option, why would you build such a vast Huoyang Palace? Why would you gather so many cultivators? Aren’t these thods to strengthen ourselves?”
The Huoyang Emperor lanted, “Facing Chaoyang Palace, even if we expanded Huoyang Palace a hundredfold, it would make no difference. As for my subordinates, they’re fine for nial tasks, but to expect them to increase their strength to a level that could contend with Chaoyang Palace in a short ti is sheer folly, utterly impossible.”
Emperor Jianwu said, “Stop focusing solely on those around you. You need to look further ahead, to a broader perspective. Is improving strength only achievable through oneself?”
“If not from oneself, then from other…”
At this point, the Huoyang Emperor suddenly stopped, his gaze landing on Qi Tian. He stared at Qi Tian for a long ti before saying, “Emperor Jianwu, you’re not suggesting we have Qi Tian increase his power and then have him provide us with protection, are you?”
Emperor Jianwu said, “Providing protection might be too much, but it’s more about mutual assistance. Qi Tian is the Chief Worshipper of Jianwu Palace, and ensuring the safety of Jianwu Palace is his duty. Now that Huoyang Palace is an ally of Jianwu Palace, even if it’s a stretch, ensuring the safety of Huoyang Palace can be considered within his responsibilities. In return, to enable Qi Tian to have ample strength, we certainly need to offer him whatever help we can manage, especially at a critical ti like this. We can’t just stand by; we must do everything possible to ensure that Master Qi’s power sees significant growth in a short period.”
The Huoyang Emperor listened and furrowed his brow.
Emperor Jianwu continued, “Think about it. Just now, Yang Yongqi tried to capture , and you, Huoyang, stood by with your n, trying to save . And what was the result? Yang Yongqi didn’t care at all, he didn’t take us seriously. But it was Master Qi, with just one punch, who struck awe into him, making Yang Yongqi extrely wary, thereby buying us ti to repair the Killing Array and then drive Yang Yongqi away.
From this, we can see that among us, the only one Yang Yongqi truly fears is Master Qi. However, Master Qi isn’t powerful enough yet to pose a significant threat to Yang Yongqi, unable to deliver a fatal blow.”
Regardless of our reasons, the only thing we can do now is to enhance Master Qi’s strength, ensuring that he possesses the formidable combat power to triumph over Yang Yongqi in battle. Only in this way can we shift from defense to offense, at least not shivering under the tyranny of the Chaoyang Palace and always worrying about the disaster they could bring upon us.”
The Huoyang Emperor furrowed his brows in thought for a long ti before slowly nodding his head. He proclaid his desire to ensure Master Qi’s safety and readiness to act on his behalf, yet these assurances had mostly been empty words, at best resulting in so costless actions. But now things were different; this ti, real tangible resources were at stake, resources that would be akin to cutting flesh from his own body. The Huoyang Emperor could not hesitate without weighing the pros and cons.
The Huoyang Emperor said, “Master Qi, what kind of cultivation resources do you actually need? Applied to you, they could have an imdiate effect, significantly enhancing your strength to contend with Yang Yongqi, ideally even suppress his power?”
Qi Tian replied, “My princes, there is no need for you to rush to provide with cultivation resources. I have made my own preparations. Just give so ti, and I believe I can still achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation realm. By then, I will have the capital to confront Yang Yongqi.”
Emperor Jianwu said anxiously, “Master Qi, what ti is it now? The old house is on fire; we simply have no ti to wait. This is also the conclusion of the analysis you just gave us, the one that stirred up our anxiety. Now you’re saying there’s no urgency, how can that be? No, no, this will not do. You are the only one we can count on now; you can’t be unhurried. You must work with us with all your might, find every possible way to enhance your strength. Only when you beco more powerful will we have a chance to confront the Chaoyang Palace. Otherwise, everything else is useless.”
The Huoyang Emperor quickly chid in, “Yes, yes, indeed. Master Qi, you must take this matter seriously. No matter the cost, we must assist you, allowing you to greatly enhance your strength in a short ti, preferably achieving the power of the Gold Core Stage Eighth Level, or even the Ninth Level of Gold Core Realm. Only by doing so can we have peace of mind.”
Qi Tian said, “I’ve only just solidified my Gold Core, having stabilized the First Level of Gold Core Realm not so long ago, and now you expect to possess the combat strength to match the Gold Core Stage Eighth Level or even the Ninth Level of Gold Core Realm. This is too high an expectation.”
The Huoyang Emperor hastily said, “Master Qi, please don’t say that. How did you manage to frighten away Yang Yongqi with a single punch? I witnessed it with my own eyes, and among those beside , only you could achieve such a feat. You are our only hope now. If you delay further, you would be turning a blind eye to both our Huoyang Palace and the Jianwu Palace. By doing so, you would fail to honor Lord Jianwu’s trust in you and the title of Chief Worshipper of the Jianwu Palace bestowed upon you. Is that not so? Please don’t decline any longer. Whatever you need, just ask. As long as the Huoyang Palace has it, I will not refuse and will imdiately provide it for your use, free of charge.”
Emperor Jianwu said, “Yes, Master Qi, whatever you need, just say the word. Not just the Huoyang Palace, but our Jianwu Palace will also fully support you to ensure your strength increases as quickly as possible.”
Qi Tian had no intention of being polite. As a cultivator, one never believes they have enough resources for cultivation and never finds them excessive. His previous hesitations were not out of modesty but to avoid asking outright and potentially causing displeasure for the Huoyang Emperor. What he wanted was for the Huoyang Emperor to willingly offer the resources for his use.
Qi Tian said, “Well, since both Princes have spoken to this extent, it would be ungracious of to decline any further. Here is my plan: to achieve rapid progress in my cultivation realm in such a short ti is rather difficult. Right now, the most effective and fastest way to reach a power level capable of contending with Yang Yongqi is to acquire high-level magical artifacts, including weapons and armor, both indispensable.”
Emperor Jianwu eagerly asked, “Master Qi, what kind of weapon do you need, and what specific requirents do you have for the armor? And when you speak of high-level, how high are we talking? Do you an Half-step Nascent Soul level? Or does it need to be even higher?”
