Chapter 247: Chapter 108: Granting the Talisman Core (Vote for monthly tickets~)

If Mingguang Dust hadn’t received the entrusted task from King Jing, he wouldn’t have known at all that the other party was already dead; within the entirety of Da Chen, there was almost no publicity about it.

Even those who knew of King Jing’s death seemed very indifferent, also completely unaware of the details, as if such a strong figure had... just like taking a fall while walking, casually died.

Those who could kill him and the means employed must be impossible to be unknown and nameless!

In this regard, Xuan Mingjing tried her best to recall, "I remember... it started with an imperial court decree..."

"That’s right! It was the Imperial Court Sage’s decree! My father was instantly stripped of all his powers, and although he could still resist, he was no longer able to withstand a strong enemy..."

At that time, Xuan Mingjing was escaping under her mother’s arrangements, so she only remembered some simple appearances.

But Mingguang Dust shook his head with certainty: "Impossible. Guangyun supported the current young emperor in the Lingxiao Palace, even if the young emperor went mad, the entrusted imperial ministers would never allow such a decree to be issued."

"Moreover, Guangyun Brother’s strength does not reside entirely in the Emperor’s Blood."

"Hmm... it does seem so," Xuan Mingjing murmured in agreement, her eyelashes trembling as she carefully reminisced: "Back then I didn’t perceive deeply, but now upon reflection, that decree did indeed appear a bit strange, indeed not feeling like it came from the imperial court..."

"Yet it was still effective! With the power of the divine strength in my father’s body, only a tenth remained under the suppression of the decree, and he was continuously pressed into retreat by my sixth uncle."

Having one’s daughter recall the scene of how her own father was murdered is undoubtedly cruel, but after experiencing much, Xuan Mingjing was already able to face all this calmly.

She calmly recalled every detail, then frowned and said, "Right, the Dragon Qi on that decree... did the aura seem somewhat off?"

Mingguang Dust inquired, "Was it the disturbance of a Heavenly Demon?"

"No, it wasn’t Demonic Qi contamination, it was even clearer and purer." Xuan Mingjing shook her head, "I cannot articulate it clearly, but if I could see that kind of Dragon Qi again, I should be able to discern the difference."

"However, on the road, my mother and I were indeed ambushed by a Heavenly Demon!"

"There was indeed a Heavenly Demon involved," Mingguang Dust frowned tightly: "After the demise of Emperor Tianyou, the inside of Da Chen has been plunged into utter chaos; not to mention the mysterious death of his majesty, the system of Granting Talisman at the imperial court must have also encountered problems, otherwise, it would be impossible for someone to lay hands on the ’Emperor’s Blood’."

"But..."

At this point, it was Xuan Mingjing who clenched her fists, gathering the courage to question.

She raised her head, locking eyes with Mingguang Dust: "The Dragon Jade given to me by my father, isn’t it part of the Imperial Court’s Granting Talisman ritual?"

"Father tore it out covertly from there. This in itself would have destabilized the imperial court’s system of Granting Talisman, wouldn’t it?"

At this, Xuan Mingjing closed her eyes in pain, but still, she voiced the confusion haunting her mind like a ghost during her journey: "Uncle Ming... can you tell me the truth?"

"Did my father bring his death upon himself?"

This was Xuan Mingjing’s greatest turmoil.

With her own intelligence, how could she not know the significance of the Dragon Jade to Da Chen? In such a case, her own father, by disrupting the most central core system of Da Chen, had undeniably become a traitor to Da Chen.

As a sealed king, everything is given by the imperial court’s Emperor’s Blood. A sealed king can do anything except betray Da Chen.

Even if it was her own father, if he committed such an act of treason, then he deserved to be judged and stripped of his title as king... and her own quest for vengeance would naturally have to cease.

Moreover, she had to think of a way to return the Dragon Jade to the imperial court—her own vengeance was one thing, but if the system of Granting Talisman in Da Chen collapsed, the deaths wouldn’t merely be thousands of families... the entire world’s order would fall to ruins!

"Oh?"

Xuan Mingjing, who had been expected to remain silent, surprisingly raised his head with a smile and praised, "Very good, Mingjing, your question is very constructive... The fact that you came up with this on your own, rather than being blinded by your parents’ vengeance, is enough to prove your potential."

"It is indeed very good," he said. "But you are mistaken. The core that your father gave you is not the core of Da Chen’s Granting Talisman Ritual Track... but rather the ’simulation core of Da Chen’s Granting Talisman Ritual Track."

"What?" Xuan Mingjing was somewhat confused upon hearing this, she raised her hand to her chest in bewilderment, "The Dragon Jade in me does not come from the Source of Dragon Qi of the Granting Talisman Ritual Track?"

"So it..."

"Is the result of your father’s years of adventures." Mingguang Dust provided the answer, "This piece of Dragon Jade is the ultimate result of your father’s and all of our adventures, it’s his final wish."

"Once he obtained it, he left the Endless Heavens and returned to the Imperial Court, no longer adventuring with us, only communicating through Great Void messages."

"Originally, none of us understood why he did this, but now, combining the situation within Da Chen, I think I understand somewhat."

Mingguang Dust looked to the southeast, a pair of radiant Dharma Eyes glistening, as he remarked reflectively, "He intends to assist with the reform."

"The Dragon Jade residing in you is meant to patch the ’Granting Talisman Ritual Track,’ a prototype of the Heavenly Dao Laws, a small independent core capable of running on its own, and not a shard of the Talisman Granting of Heaven and Earth."

"Furthermore..."

With a soft sigh, Mingguang Dust closed his eyes, "If I’m not mistaken, the Dragon Jade in you may well contain clues to one of the mightiest Earth Vein Divine Weapons held by the Eight Directions King of Da Chen."

"Eight Directions Heavenly Martial... [Southern Dipper Life Infusion]."

At that moment, Xuan Mingjing, aside from her shock, also delved into a rather peculiar train of thought.

—Wait, if the power contained in the Dragon Jade on me is unrelated to Da Chen’s Granting Talisman Ritual Track... then would sharing An Jing’s Emperor’s Blood with him not help him overthrow Da Chen?

An Jing, for his part, was unaware of Xuan Mingjing’s concerns; instead, he felt a burst of inexplicable enlightenments, likely feedback from the alignment of destiny following Mingguang Dust’s acknowledgment.

At that instant, he was tracing the pathways of Divine Weapons’ Earth Pulse Qi and Dragon Qi, endeavoring to learn their profound essence.

Golden Earth Pulse Qi was not only circling around the Divine Weapon but also revolving around An Jing’s whole body.

Through the shared vision of the Sword Spirit, intricate and simple tracks constantly shuttled through the Earth Pulse space; each strand of Earth Pulse Qi, every wisp of Dragon Qi, followed a set trajectory, flowing straight ahead, then either splitting or converging.

A wondrous insight lingered in An Jing’s head, inspiring him as he entered a ’Desireless and Egoless’ state.

The Emperor’s Blood shared by Xuan Mingjing quivered slightly, allowing him to grasp the minutiae of the Divine Weapon and Earth Vein Formation with greater precision.

Then, as if blessed by heaven, he replicated it within himself using the method of ’Coalescing Qi into Soldiers’!

Humming—An Jing held a piece of Jade Cutting Steel, with Taibai Fiend Qi continuously circulating within.

Earth generating metal; in this Earth Vein environment, not only was there no restriction, but it was also extremely responsive.

Streams of Taibai Fiend Qi and Jade Cutting Steel’s Gold Fiend merged; under the coordination of Taibai Forbidden Seed, they kept moving through An Jing’s flesh and bones, refining them with a method akin to forging Divine Weapons!

Silently, the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, the Fifth Ban, broke through!

Not just that, under the auspices of Heavenly Mandate, An Jing keenly perceived that Taibai Luminous Godly Ban’s method of ’forging oneself into a magic treasure,’ the Body Refinement practice, was naturally complementary to the Divine Weapon Earth Pulse Qi refinement method, and might even have the same origin!

Through the Earth Vein Refinement method, he could not only use the Earth Pulse to break through but also accelerate the condensing speed of the Divine Prohibition!
