Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not just his martial arts cultivation above the innate realm, but more importantly, his contributions to Great Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over forty years ago, he suppressed Nanyue County, expanding the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years ago, he drove out Wu Country, occupied Wu Country's Black Mountain Pass, and even seized two states from Wu Country, also expanding the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for a peerless Empress from Wu Country leading her army to recapture the Mangzhou and Huangzhou Two States, the territory of Great Yu would have increased by about one-fifth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Black Mountain Pass is still in Great Yu's hands, maintaining initiative against Wu Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent years, he has also led troops to suppress domestic rebellions, with significant achievements and merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some southern state counties and the army, there are even rumors that say, 'Only know Grand General Xu, and not the Emperor.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rumors are rampant, and many ministers in the court are waiting for Xu Mujun to fall, even secretly plotting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, having accomplishments overshadowing the ruler is something every Emperor fears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to this situation, Xu Mujun \"voluntarily\" handed over his faults and weaknesses to the Imperial Court and Zheng Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simplest way is to continuously demand rewards from the Imperial Court based on military achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lands, mansions, gold and silver, beauties, and even official positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the main and branch lines of the Xu family, up and down, more than five hundred people, almost everyone holds an official position!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the dog guarding their house was given the title of 'Imperial Dog' and received royal provisions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under self-defamation, Zheng Yi discovered it and quickly stabilized his mindset, making Xu Mujun ever more loyal to suppress southern rebellions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, at the Spirit Testing Ceremony in the Capital Region, a member of the Xu Clan was found to have a Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this... the Xu Clan seems to be even more solidified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi nodded and said, \"Please rise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Your Majesty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your martial arts cultivation is good, what realm have you reached?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to Your Majesty, my martial arts cultivation has just stepped into the First-grade Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A First-grade Realm Martial Artist...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi also took a look, a fifteen-year-old First-grade Realm Martial Artist, this is even more monstrous than Xu Qingluan back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the influence of innate qi, the biggest reason is his excellent root bone aptitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fengxiong suddenly said: \"Your Majesty, I have a request.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, what is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have wholeheartedly pursued martial arts, can I withdraw from the Spirit Testing Ceremony today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi frowned: \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To have a Spirit Root is ordained by heaven, why abandon what is near to seek afar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fengxiong's gaze was fervent: \"I have wholeheartedly pursued martial arts, and since childhood, vowed to become a martial expert like Uncle to protect Great Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if choosing to become a cultivator, I might be in seclusion for years, unable to step on the battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, I wish to join the army, go to the battlefield, and kill enemies...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi felt a bit helpless, what is with these people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Wang Anshi didn't want to cultivate immortality, now Xu Fengxiong doesn't want to cultivate immortality either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he went through a lot of trouble to cultivate immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come for these two, they treat immortal cultivation like discarded shoes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, wanting to become a martial master like Xu Mujun, how is that possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world knows that Xu Mujun's martial arts cultivation is above the innate realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how many know that above the innate realm, besides the Spirit Communication Realm, there's also the Martial God Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mujun's true cultivation is above innate, above spirit communication!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since ancient times, not a single person in the Profound Cyan Realm has achieved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many later generations will achieve this realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fengxiong! What nonsense are you talking about!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, another voice sounded, it turned out to be Consort Duann Xu Qingluan sitting to the right of Zheng Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beautiful eyes held some disappointment and some concern as she said, \"No matter what position you hold, you can serve the country, it's not just the battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Becoming a cultivator can better protect Great Yu and fight for the country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt... yes, Consort Duann.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fengxiong looked respectful, but still had his own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Zheng Yuhuan rushed forward like a wild bull, Zheng Yi hurriedly stood up from the Dragon Throne, knelt down, and held Yuhuan in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuhuan, you're already eight years old, why are you still so reckless?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuhuan likes Father~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, several little princesses followed, looking enviously at Zheng Yuhuan who could sit in Zheng Yi's lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yuhuan's mother is the Empress and can frolic boldly in front of Zheng Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for them, since young, their mothers taught them that such parent-child activities could only be done intimately in their own palace with their father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi also signaled for several daughters to come over, curiously asking, \"Weren't you playing over there, what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yuhuan said first, \"Isn't it that little stone, so clumsy, even doesn't know how to play eagle catches chicks as Father taught, it really annoys me~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little stone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the little boy Father just let us play with~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Shi Xiaofeng, right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi looked over, Shi Xiaofeng was still timidly standing in the corner, glancing over here, making Zheng Yi somewhat amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These little children are really...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Father...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yuhuan suddenly fixed her gaze on Xu Fengxiong and shook his arm vigorously, \"Who is this big brother, can we have him play with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi's heart was suddenly moved, \"Xu Fengxiong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you don't want to cultivate immortality, I'll give you an opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please speak, Your Majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Third Princess Zheng Yuhuan is just eight years old this year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi held Zheng Yuhuan, while stroking her little head, said, \"Since you don't want to cultivate immortality, then have a match with the Third Princess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you win, then I'll agree to your request, and even appoint you as a Deputy General, allowing you to lead a troop to Xuzhou to participate in suppressing the rebellion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fengxiong hurriedly said: \"I have only learned the art of warfare, how can I possibly raise my hand against Princess Langhuan, who is of noble birth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi laughed lightly and said, \"Xu Fengxiong, this is an opportunity I am giving you. Do not underestimate my Princess Langhuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fengxiong, thinking quickly, said: \"Your Majesty, could it be that Princess Langhuan is a cultivator?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Zheng Yuhuan, who was sitting on Zheng Yi's lap, also said: \"Big brother, don't look down on people. Many in the palace are no match for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about we have a duel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fengxiong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, thinking to himself that since she was a princess, naturally people in the palace wouldn't dare really fight her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to duel with a little girl, but the imperial decree had been given.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's decided then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi firmly said: \"Xu Fengxiong, you shall duel with Princess Langhuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you win, you naturally will not need to cultivate immortality, and I will keep my promise, promoting you to Deputy General, with command over an army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you lose, you shall obediently stay in my 'Yuelong Palace' for training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fengxiong glanced helplessly at his aunt, only to find her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation, clearly very interested in this as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fengxiong, be careful, okay? Aunt supports you, hahaha~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... obey the decree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the imperial decree issued, the surrounding crowd immediately cleared a path, revealing a large open space for the two to use as an arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over ten Imperial Guards quickly formed a circle, ensuring Princess Langhuan would not be harmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other young princesses and princes excitedly gathered around, shouting loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, royal sister!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beat him into a pig's head!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, Sister Yuhuan~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi's sudden proposal sparked the interest of other concubines, who were all whispering among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't Your Majesty being a bit rash? Not to mention Xu Fengxiong's martial strength, he's already fifteen, while Princess Langhuan is only eight~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't understand, although she's only eight, Princess Langhuan is already a cultivator~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A cultivator? Can they really control clouds and mist...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I–I don't know either...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the dragon throne, Zheng Yi whispered something to Zheng Yuhuan, making her giggle nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, she jumped off Zheng Yi's lap, tilted her little head, and walked to the center of the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Liancang appeared silently: \"Your Highness, are you ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa Chen, I'm ready, let's start quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Liancang glanced at Xu Fengxiong, his eyes full of warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fengxiong was helpless as well, seeming that he could only pretend to lose later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a sacred place of the imperial family. Weapons are heartless. Xu Fengxiong, do you need to arm yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fengxiong promptly said, \"Of course not necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, let the duel begin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words were spoken, Xu Fengxiong did not move but waited for Zheng Yuhuan to make the first move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yuhuan chuckled, and her hands suddenly began making incantations, slowly and deliberately, bringing smiles to the faces of those around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress, somewhat worried, watched Zheng Yuhuan and whispered, \"Your Majesty, will Huan'er be in danger? Perhaps she should come back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Empress, do not worry. I have faith in Yuhuan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the words left his mouth, Zheng Yuhuan completed her incantations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint wave of magical power surged from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, three fist-sized flames formed before her eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming into three vividly lifelike firebirds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move elicited discussions among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire! Firebirds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess Langhuan is amazing! She can control flames!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immortal! Truly an immortal...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the exclamations, Zheng Yuhuan's smile remained undiminished. She pointed forward with one hand, and the three firebirds immediately let out crisp chirps, darting towards Xu Fengxiong at lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing this, she patted her waist, and with a tremor from her storage bag, a petal-shaped magical artifact flew out, emitting a cry, transforming into a light shield to protect Zheng Yuhuan within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mid-grade magical artifact, White Lotus Petal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a mid-grade magical artifact that Zheng Yi found in the storage bag of the White Lotus Saint Mother and rewarded to Zheng Yuhuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xu Fengxiong appeared exceptionally calm. Facing the three advancing firebirds, he immediately felt a scorching wave of heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, he knew he couldn't meet this head-on and could only rely on his speed to evade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these three little birds pursued relentlessly like maggots glued to his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the heat wave behind him, he immediately ducked and rolled, evading in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His inner strength flowed through his body, yet he dared not strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the three constantly pursuing firebirds, he found himself at a loss for a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Zheng Yuhuan's voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa Chen, throw him a weapon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up, hurry! I've heard the Xu Family's most famous technique is the 'Hundred Battle Blood Slaughter Saber.' Without a saber in hand, how could it be performed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... very well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Liancang agreed helplessly and casually grabbed behind him. The Yanling Saber in the hands of an Imperial Guard shook violently and shot out suddenly, heading towards Xu Fengxiong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good timing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fengxiong shouted, catching the saber with a swift grab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his inner strength circulated, the Yanling Saber in his hand immediately exuded an aura of cold ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the heat wave behind him, Xu Fengxiong turned and swung the saber backward with the momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hundred Battle Blood Slaughter Saber!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Break!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1999,"2026-06-06T13:34:09.115Z",1,"novelbin.me","fd665f2cb534b94024b3229f397a7c57866f80c61a09b9435c1cce365df53522","eternal-life-as-false-emperor-chapter-282","eternal-life-as-false-emperor-chapter-280",358,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-as-false-emperor-cover.jpg"]
