Chapter 209

"Now, the Song Huang Zhao Huan has fallen, and I have used a secret technique to devour his destiny to bolster the Great Song's national fortune, but my cultivation speed... has actually increased by less than double!"

"This... seems a bit strange!"

"The Song Huang Zhao Ji increased my cultivation speed by twenty-six times! One year of cultivation was comparable to twenty-six years for others! Yet the Song Huang Zhao Huan increased my cultivation speed by less than... double?!"

Lin Lingsu rubbed his brow, unable to fathom it.

If it were because the Song Huang Zhao Huan had been on the throne for less than a year before being killed by Li Changsheng, then an increase of less than double might seem... plausible!

But when the Song Huang Zhao Ji died, he had been on the throne for only twenty-one years. If calculated by the same method as Zhao Huan's reign, Lin Lingsu's cultivation speed increase should have been twenty-one times, not twenty-six!

Yet the result was an increase of twenty-six times!

So, the question arises... why exactly twenty-six times?!

Where did these extra five times... come from?!

Lin Lingsu could not figure it out. After thinking for a long time, he only became more confused.

"But! It's fine! It's fine... I have found another person! If I can devour his destiny, my speed will increase by thirty-five times!"

His gaze shifted slightly toward the residence of Prince Kang, Zhao Gou.

If Li Changsheng knew these three numbers—twenty-six, one, and thirty-five—he would surely have a sudden realization.

Because, in original history, the Song Huizong Zhao Ji reigned for twenty-six years; the Song Qinzong Zhao Huan reigned for less than a year; and the Song Gaozong Zhao Gou reigned for thirty-five years!

"It's just that this Zhao Gou seems... a bit strange! His destiny is actually so strong?! It seems... hmm?!"

"This divine dragon... the Song Taizu's national-protecting divine weapon, the Coiled Dragon Staff?!"

"Indeed! The Song Kingdom's foundation is extraordinary. Fortunately, due to the limitations of the destiny-devouring secret technique, I cannot act personally... wait?! This is... hiss!"

"This child... is terrifyingly powerful?!"

Just as Lin Lingsu was marveling at the Song Kingdom's foundation, he was stunned in the next breath by Li Changsheng's supreme divine might!

Subduing a Coiled Dragon Staff comparable to the Divine Ability Realm with a single palm?!

It was simply... beyond words!

"This... how on earth does this child cultivate?!"

Lin Lingsu exclaimed repeatedly. He had originally planned to join forces with the three Zhao ancestors, the Confucian scholars Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao, Master Kong Xiang of the Daxiangguo Temple, and the various Heavenly Masters of Mount Long Hu to deal with Li Changsheng and obtain that sword technique for controlling the Divine Firmament Thunder. But seeing this scene, he was thoroughly terrified.

"This child... must not be made an enemy! Absolutely must not be made an enemy!"

Lin Lingsu made a new decision in his heart.

"Is this... it?!"

"Are you sure that is the Great Song's national-protecting divine weapon?! How could it be so pathetic?!"

"The national-protecting divine weapon is said to be comparable to the Divine Ability Realm! And yet... just this?!"

"Are you sure it's not that the divine weapon is too useless, but that Li Changsheng... no! True Person Li is too strong?!"

"..."

The civil and military officials, and even all the martial artists who saw this terrifying scene, were all shocked, their minds stirred, almost unable to describe it in words!

In such a scene, everyone was stunned, completely dumbfounded. It could be said: the world was shocked, and the heroes were helpless!

High above in the endless sky.

At the same time, Li Changsheng flipped his right hand slightly, using the great divine ability of Subduing Dragons and Tigers to place the divine dragon within his "Only I" Dharma Domain.

Roar!

The divine dragon, feeling the restraints disappear, was about to soar into the sky; but at this moment, the power of the Dharma Domain's order flowed out, turning into a cage, re-enveloping the divine dragon and trapping it in place, unable to move!

Supreme Divine Ability: Drawing a Circle as a Prison!

"I... I... am so unlucky! So unlucky! Wuwuwu!"

The divine dragon was stunned, looking left and right, almost crying.

It had thought Li Changsheng looked so "thin and weak" that he should be nothing special, and it could kill him with one claw.

And as long as it killed him, it could regain its freedom. Who would have thought that beneath Li Changsheng's "thin and weak" body, he was so powerful!

So powerful that... it was the one who was weak and pathetic!

"The three Zhao ancestors?!"

"Zhao Huan wanted to kill me! You might have known, but at least you didn't act! So, I will repay grievances with grievances, and I didn't intend to act against you!"

"But now... since that's the case, then you can go on the road... together with Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan!"

Li Changsheng's eyes swirled, his gaze brilliant, like two rays of divine light, piercing through the void and entering the depths below, seeing the three Zhao emperors in the Zhao ancestral hall.
