Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: He Can Seal And Unseal

Qin Ruoxian’s small face immediately fell.

Ye Yu’s current actions, in their opinion, were tantamount to refusal; they had all drawn their swords.

Qin Wushuang also sighed inwardly, realizing he had been too hasty. After all, haste makes waste; one must proceed step by step.

Watching Ye Yu slowly approach, Qin Wushuang took a deep breath, just about to speak, but saw Ye Yu turn his palm, and actually handed the Autumn Water Sword to Qin Ruoxian.

Qin Ruoxian looked at Ye Yu in astonishment, clearly not understanding what he meant.

Before going to Great Yan, Qin Ruoxian had investigated Ye Yu, but not in detail.

For example, Qin Ruoxian knew Ye Yu went to Liu Manor to retrieve the Autumn Water Sword, but she didn’t know the reason why he retrieved it; she simply assumed it was for the sword itself.

After all, no matter what, the Autumn Water Sword was the number one sword in the Great Yan Empire; it was only natural for Ye Yu to want to retrieve it.

Ye Yu saw Qin Ruoxian’s puzzlement, and smiled, “This sword is my mother’s relic. She asked me to give it to the person I’ll spend my life with. ”

Qin Ruoxian stared blankly at the Autumn Water Sword in Ye Yu’s hand, her cheeks flushed, but the next moment she put the sword into her Storage Ring and ran away.

Qin Wushuang twitched the corner of his mouth. Was this still his own little witch? Indeed, girls grow up and leave home!

Then Qin Wushuang looked deeply at Ye Yu and smiled, “My daughter is completely smitten with you. Sooner or later, you’ll have to call me Father Emperor. ”

“Uncle Qin, please don’t interrupt. Is there something else? ” Ye Yu smiled.

“I won’t hide it from you. The Nine Nether Bl00d Spring within Great Qin’s borders has been increasingly restless lately. I want to know how to seal it,” Qin Wushuang said seriously.

Ye Yu showed an “I knew it” expression upon hearing this, but then said, “I can tell Uncle Qin the method, but the price… I fear you cannot afford it. ”

“Tell me first,” Qin Wushuang frowned. He knew sealing the Bl00d Spring wouldn’t be easy and was prepared mentally.

Ye Yu then explained the method to seal the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring. The more Qin Wushuang listened, the more unsightly his expression became.

“So, as you said, sealing the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring requires sacrificing a Heaven-grade Spiritual Root?!” After handling state affairs, Qin Wushuang summoned Ye Yu to inquire about the method of sealing the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring.

Ye Yu nodded. “At least a Heaven-grade Spiritual Root is needed. Below Heaven-grade, Spiritual Roots cannot absorb Nine Nether Bl00d Qi. Even a Heaven-grade Spiritual Root can only sustain it for five years; after that, it will erupt. ”

Hearing this, Qin Wushuang’s face darkened further.

A cultivator with a Heaven-grade Spiritual Root is invaluable to an empire.

Even if an empire was willing to sacrifice a cultivator with a Heaven-grade Spiritual Root…

Would that cultivator willingly sacrifice themselves to protect people unrelated to them?

Thinking of this, Qin Wushuang looked deeply at Ye Yu—the young man before him who had sacrificed his Spiritual Root to help the Great Yan Dynasty seal the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring.

Yet, he received such a tragic end.

I really don’t know what the people of Great Yan are thinking; they’re truly heartless and ungrateful.

Ye Yu looked at the complex expression on Qin Wushuang’s face, seeming to know what he was thinking, smiled faintly, and said, “However, in my opinion, Sovereign Qin need not worry about the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring. ”

“Why? ” Qin Wushuang was stunned and asked. The Nine Nether Bl00d Spring was a major threat to the empires of Qingzhou.

“Because even if it’s sealed, it will erupt again in a few months. Sealing it is useless,” Ye Yu said calmly.

In his past life, even though he sacrificed his Spiritual Root to seal the Bl00d Spring, an accident still occurred after a few months.

“What are you saying?!” Qin Wushuang abruptly stood up, looking at Ye Yu.

Qin Wushuang didn’t doubt Ye Yu’s words. In all of Qingzhou, no one understood the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring better than Ye Yu.

After all, he was the only one who had sealed the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring and lived to tell the tale.

However, Ye Yu didn’t intend to answer this time, rubbing his fingers, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing that Ye Yu didn’t intend to answer, Qin Wushuang didn’t press further but sat back down, sighed, and said, “Then it seems we must devise a countermeasure as soon as possible. ”

“No need. Do what you need to do; don’t worry about the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring erupting,” Ye Yu waved his hand, then looked at the puzzled Qin Wushuang and continued, “Because I’m in Great Qin. ”

That powerful confidence made Qin Wushuang stare. It’s hard to imagine how high the young man before him would reach in the future.

If he were an opponent, it would truly be a cause for sleepless nights. Fortunately, however, he is my future son-in-law.

“Alright, we’re done here. I need to rest for a while,” Ye Yu stood up and walked towards the palace exit, but suddenly stopped halfway.

“Sovereign Qin, it’s best to withdraw some of the troops stationed at the Great Yan border. The Bl00d Spring there is about to erupt. ”

Looking at Ye Yu’s departing back, Qin Wushuang seemed to have thought of something, then gasped.

Everyone had forgotten one thing.

The sealing of the Great Yan Nine Nether Bl00d Spring was done by Ye Yu, and since he could seal it, he could naturally unseal it!

Immediately, Qin Wushuang hesitated no more, issuing several edicts, ordering the stationed army to prepare for immediate retreat.

Arriving at the palace chambers Qin Wushuang had arranged for him, Ye Yu sat cross-legged and began regulating the spiritual energy within his body.

According to his past life’s memories, a Secret Realm in the Qingzhou Barren Wastelands would appear in these few days. In his past life, due to physical reasons and other circumstances, Ye Yu hadn’t been able to go to that Secret Realm.

Now, in his second life, Ye Yu certainly couldn’t miss this chance encounter.

Soon, Ye Yu finished regulating his breath, feeling the abundant spiritual energy in his Dantian, he couldn’t help but once again marvel at the wonders of the small cauldron.

Because of the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring, Ye Yu had lost his Spiritual Root. Now, his absorption of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy relied entirely on the small cauldron, but this small cauldron’s absorption speed was even faster than his Sacred Spiritual Root had been.

He had only recently recovered to the Golden Core Late Stage, yet the spiritual energy in his Dantian was already enough for him to attempt a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Having already taken the Bodhi Nascent Soul Pill, he naturally wanted to pursue a higher quality Nascent Soul.

After all, once a cultivator successfully condenses their Nascent Soul, they should cultivate their cultivation Technique, transforming the spiritual energy within their body into Power imbued with attributes.

This Power is far more powerful than pure spiritual energy, so the Nascent Soul Stage is a watershed moment for cultivators.

Just as he was thinking this, the small cauldron trembled. A day had passed, and it was time for the treasure to appear.

Ye Yu took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy within his body began to gather towards the small cauldron.
