Chapter 305: If one can be an emperor oneself, who would be willing to be a lackey for others?

Qiu Xianyu seemed to be recounting a great legend; the Long Di had once suppressed an era and was able to collect the wealth of the world—he was the true supreme being of heaven and earth.

Lin Mo expressed "amazing" and "admirable" in his mouth, but inwardly he thought: No wonder your Yuan clan was destroyed.

With this way of accumulating wealth, it would be hard for people not to rebel.

Although Lin Mo had resentment toward Li Chen, as a Ministry of Works official who had been in the imperial court for so long, he at least knew that Li Chen and the successive Li emperors were relatively normal, except for the high expenses of war.

Looking at it this way, Lin Mo felt that none of the emperors were good things.

There was no help for it; who let him have a not-so-good impression of emperors?

Even if Li Chen was better than the Long Di, he still couldn't stand it.

Entering the depths of the tomb, Lin Mo took a deep breath and felt a wonderful resonance between the technique in his body and the energy here, as if every bit of spiritual energy was actively gathering toward him.

"Just standing here, I feel I benefit a lot," Lin Mo whispered to himself, a flash of excitement in his eyes.

He knew that if he could cultivate here for a period, his cultivation base would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.

Qiu Xianyu seemed to perceive Lin Mo's thoughts and glanced at him coldly: "Don't be happy too early. Although the energy here is rich, it is very violent and needs to be absorbed through meditation and operation; otherwise, it is easy to be backlashed by the spiritual rhyme here."

Lin Mo's heart tightened, and he hurriedly collected his mind, saying respectfully: "Thank you for the reminder, Consort Qiu; I will be careful."

It was just this sentence that made Lin Mo feel that Consort Qiu wasn't some great villain.

Perhaps she was an Imperial Consort before, and her status was placed there, so it was normal for her to speak impolitely, and he didn't need to haggle over these things with her.

For a moment, Lin Mo was even thinking, if the Long Di couldn't wake up, would this beautiful woman have some fate with him?

No matter what, Lin Mo was a man, and his resistance to this kind of mature, cold-eyed beautiful woman was indeed not very great.

But this thought also flashed by; Qiu Xianyu was the Long Di's woman—who would dare to covet her?

If the Long Di woke up, wouldn't he be refined into a pill directly?

This was no joke; according to historical records, the previous dynasty had some evil techniques of this type.

Besides, Wei Manying was so good to him—how could he be fickle?

Qiu Xianyu didn't say anything more and led Lin Mo through a long corridor.

There were other passages around the long corridor; Lin Mo glanced at them, and it looked like they should be the palaces where other consorts of the Long Di slept, and there were many palaces—it looked like quite a few people were sleeping here.

Besides this, there were some powerful puppet guards and holy beasts guarding the place.

While sighing at the extravagance again, Lin Mo had an idea in his heart: that is to say, besides the Long Di, everyone sleeping here was a stunningly beautiful mature woman like Qiu Xianyu.

Every palace with guards was like a treasure, making one's heart yearn for it a little.

Lin Mo always felt that it was like returning to the past, when he went to apply to be a retainer at the Jiang Fu—everyone knew it was a kingdom of daughters inside, making countless hot-blooded youths yearn for it.

Why wasn't this a more luxurious version of the Jiang family?

Just now Lin Mo wasn't so greedy, because taking such a big risk for a woman wasn't worth it.

But then again, if the benefits were huge, then it could still be greedy.

Whether to be greedy or not depended on whether the temptation was big enough.

Lin Mo was thinking, if the Long Di didn't wake up, wouldn't the women and wealth here all be his?

It was normal for him to think this way; after all, he didn't have much respect for the Long Di.

As a Son of Fortune, who wouldn't want to stand at the peak of heaven and earth and look down on the world?

Just like Lin Mo being an official in the imperial court now—wasn't it because he couldn't fight Li Chen and could only develop slowly?

The Long Di's tomb had countless resources, wealth, and beauties.

If he took it for himself, wouldn't he be able to replace the Long Di, or even overthrow Li Chen and establish his own dynasty?

By then, he could even make Wei Manying the Empress.

If one can be an emperor oneself, who would be willing to be a lackey for others?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt a little excited and couldn't help but produce a pulse technique fluctuation.

This point was perceived by Qiu Xianyu, but she thought Lin Mo was inexperienced and excited for the cultivation later, so she didn't think much about it.

If she knew Lin Mo dared to have such an idea, she would definitely wipe Lin Mo out in this place.

Qiu Xianyu was absolutely loyal to the Long Di and couldn't tolerate others being disrespectful to him.

Just as Lin Mo was planning how to make the Long Di not wake up, he had already followed Qiu Xianyu to a relatively simple room.

The stone gate opened, and compared to the luxury outside, this room appeared much simpler.

There were no jewels embedded in the walls, and there were no gold bricks on the ground—only a few ordinary stone slabs.

But Lin Mo felt that the energy here was richer than outside, even causing the technique in his body to operate involuntarily.

Qiu Xianyu said coldly: "This is your place of cultivation. The energy here is most compatible with your technique. If you can calm your mind and cultivate, you will definitely have a breakthrough."

Lin Mo was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed his hands: "Thank you, Consort Qiu, for your fulfillment!"

This "thank you" was more sincere than the previous ones; the more he looked at the great beauty before him, the more pleasing she became.

Qiu Xianyu smiled coldly: "No need to thank me; you should thank the Long Di. This is the Long Di's grace to you."

Lin Mo was speechless, but he didn't dare to say much.

Let's thank the Long Di for now; when I get everything you have here, I will thank you even more then.

"Alright, you can go into seclusion and cultivate here. Remember, your cultivation time is only seven days; you can only stay here for these seven days and don't run around."

After Qiu Xianyu finished speaking, she turned and took Wei Manying away from the room.

Lin Mo watched the two beauties leave and shook off the distracting thoughts in his heart.

He sat cross-legged, feeling the rich energy around him, and the technique in his body began to operate slowly.

With the operation of the technique, he felt a warm current gushing out from his dantian, flowing through his meridians all over his body, as if every inch of flesh and blood was cheering.

"After seven days, I must give them both a surprise and let them know what is called heaven-gifted talent."

Thinking of this, Lin Mo closed the stone gate and began his seclusion.

And at this time, Li Chen and Wu Nanzhi had already arrived at the gate of the tomb.

"Your Majesty, this is the entrance to the tomb, right? How are we going to get in?"

Because someone had just entered, the surrounding fog was still light, and Wu Nanzhi often went out exploring with Li Chen, so she quickly discovered the entrance to the tomb.

Li Chen looked at this tomb and didn't have much of a clue; perhaps there was some mechanism nearby?

Just as he was preparing to study the entrance to the tomb, a rumble came from the stone gate, as if someone was preparing to come out from inside.
