Chapter 313: Your Majesty is indeed cautious enough to make people feel at ease

Seeing the Long Di turned into ashes and his bone ash sealed, Wu Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are too cautious, but with these seals, the Long Di must be dead beyond death, right?"

Li Chen shook his head, his expression still serious: "Not yet."

Wu Nanzhi didn't understand; according to her cultivation base, a head falling to the ground could already be considered death—this still wasn't death?

However, she didn't say much and quietly watched Li Chen work.

After Li Chen finished speaking, he began the next work.

Although the Long Di was already dead, Li Chen knew that some Sage Realm powerhouses would never easily perish completely.

He recalled when he encountered Tuoba Zhen, the other party could still escape and resurrect through his divine soul even after death.

To thoroughly eliminate the possibility of the Long Di resurrecting, Li Chen decided to refine everything here.

Seeing the curious look of his beloved consort, Li Chen, being idle, also began to explain to her.

"Cultivators of the Sage Realm have powerful divine souls; after the physical body is destroyed, a wisp of 'divine soul' will still exist, hiding in some inconspicuous corner, using objects as containers, waiting for a 'fated person' to help them resurrect."

Li Chen said while raising his hand to urge the formation.

These were all discovered by Li Chen in his research of classics.

Just like the Sage remnant soul in Xiao Ming's necklace.

If one encountered a vicious remnant soul, it would even directly seize the "fated person."

Wu Nanzhi heard this and couldn't help but shiver, then scanned the surroundings: "Your Majesty means, the Long Di's remnant soul might still be hiding somewhere?"

Li Chen nodded: "That's right. How powerful the Long Di was when he was alive, I don't know, but I will never leave any hidden dangers for myself."

The seven great formations had thoroughly blocked this place; even if the Long Di's remnant soul existed, there was absolutely no possibility of escaping.

Li Chen carefully checked every corner and, confirming that no energy body had escaped, began to refine everything here.

First were the Long Di's life-bound magic treasures: the Armillary Sphere, the Kui Dragon Drum, the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and that Imperial Jade Seal.

Li Chen originally thought these magic treasures had followed the Long Di for many years and would have some resistance to being refined, but he didn't expect them to be exceptionally cooperative.

Perhaps it was because the "Imperial Dragon Holy Scripture" Li Chen cultivated was of the same origin as the Long Di, these magic treasures actually took the initiative to merge into his spiritual power, turning into streams of light and disappearing into his sleeves.

Next were the coffin and the chains.

Li Chen raised his hand and waved, and the golden spiritual power wrapped around the coffin like a flame, refining it into pieces of crystal-clear mysterious jade.

The chains were refined into golden threads, entangling on Li Chen's fingertips.

Even the night-luminescent pearls, tables, chairs, and furnishings in the palace, and even the dragon-pattern decorations on the walls, Li Chen didn't let go of.

Li Chen spent a full two days dismantling and refining everything here to ensure there were no omissions.

Wu Nanzhi stood to the side, watching Li Chen's busy figure, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Your Majesty is indeed cautious enough to make people feel at ease."

Two days later, the entire palace had been refined until it was empty, and not even a trace of the Long Di's aura could be felt.

Only then did Li Chen nod with satisfaction: "The second stage is complete; next is the third stage."

Wu Nanzhi didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

This wasn't complete yet? She couldn't even think of any possibility for the Long Di to resurrect.

Next, Li Chen needed to live here for a period, occasionally coming over to take a look and doing random probability checks.

Wu Nanzhi didn't feel that Li Chen was overly cautious; instead, she felt that the Long Di truly deserved to die—if he didn't die even after this, heaven would not tolerate it.

Of course, during this period, Li Chen wouldn't wait in vain; there were so many palaces nearby, and there were quite a few consorts.

These were all women carefully selected by the Long Di before he slept, and no flaws could be picked out no matter which point was looked at.

Some the Long Di hadn't even touched himself, just thinking about waiting for his resurrection and divine skill to reach great success, and his body's problems to be solved, to have a good time for a while.

As a result, he didn't experience it himself, and it all cheapened Li Chen.

The place Li Chen stayed most was Qiu Xianyu's palace.

"You kill me; the Long Di is dead, and I don't want to live either." Upon hearing that the Long Di had died, Qiu Xianyu was heartbroken and sought death.

She resisted very fiercely, but it indeed had another kind of flavor.

Li Chen didn't have too much time to train her now, so he had to change her consciousness to be obedient first, and train her slowly after returning to the palace.

Needless to say about Consort Youlan, just take the Xuanji Li Chen recently obtained—after grinding in the harem for a period, she also started to cooperate.

By then, even without using consciousness to control her, she would be obedient.

During his time in the tomb, Li Chen was certainly happy, and the one who was probably as frustrated as the Long Di was Lin Mo, who had been locked in the secret room all along.

According to the normal process, Lin Mo was originally supposed to cultivate here for seven days.

In these seven days, he discarded all distracting thoughts, worked hard to cultivate and break through, and finally reached the Observing Heaven Realm.

In fact, by the fifth day, Lin Mo had already broken through; the Son of Fortune's ability was very powerful.

But the time hadn't arrived, and he was thinking in his heart at the time, should he sneak out?

Once he thought of the consorts like Qiu Xianyu with excellent plump figures sleeping here, Lin Mo started to let his imagination run wild.

As long as the Long Di didn't wake up, if he relied on his luck to have some peach blossom luck, wouldn't it make people happy?

He was very afraid of Qiu Xianyu; Qiu Xianyu's strength was far stronger than his.

But sometimes, wealth is sought in danger.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo intended to open the stone gate and go out to play carefully for a while.

Perhaps Qiu Xianyu thought men couldn't resist the temptation here and placed a restriction on Lin Mo's stone gate. Lin Mo truly had no way to open it; he tried for a day and a night, and finally had to give up, waiting for the seventh day for Qiu Xianyu to open the stone gate.

Waiting until the eighth day, the gate still hadn't opened.

Lin Mo felt, did he judge the time wrong? So he continued to wait for a few days.

More than ten days later, Lin Mo realized the severity of the problem—it seemed he hadn't remembered the time wrong; it was really that no one opened the gate for him.

The stone gate was soundproof, and there were no features outside; if one didn't look carefully, it was just a wall.

By the way, last time Li Chen was at the Jiang family, Lin Mo could still hear some movement; this time he couldn't even hear movement.

As the soldier-grain pills prepared for seclusion were about to run out, Lin Mo started to despair—this was a tomb built by the Long Di; how could he force it open?

Because Qiu Xianyu was heartbroken over the Long Di's death, she didn't care about his life or death at all, and even forgot there was someone here.

Until the seventeenth day, when Lin Mo was almost writing his last will, the stone gate was slowly opened.

Lin Mo thought it was Qiu Xianyu, but the person who opened the stone gate was someone Lin Mo didn't expect.

The key was that he even knew him—he was an official of the Ministry of Works.

Seeing Lin Mo, this official asked suspiciously: "Official Lin, why are you here? Did you accidentally get locked inside while exploring? But don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

Lin Mo asked suspiciously: "Why are you here?"
