Chapter 175: Lin Yang Pressures, the Qingfeng War Emperor Compromises

Just as his words fell, the Immortal War Emperor glanced at Yu Xian'er, seeming unable to understand.

She is merely a maid's daughter; how could she possess such talent and ability?

However, they also acknowledged that Yu Xian'er might be the strongest contender for the Imperial Clan's heir.

Yu Xian'er nodded at the Immortal Great Emperor, then headed to the fifth layer, the final floor.

This layer is precisely the trial set up by the Qingfeng War Emperor.

Seeing Yu Xian'er, the Qingfeng War Emperor's face filled with shock: 'You actually made it here and even awakened the bloodline of the previous four emperors—no wonder Lin Yang supports you so; your talent and potential are truly unmatched.'

"I have even begun to despise the Imperial Clan's divine sons and daughters; compared to you, they are simply nothing."

"Girl, your talent, strength, and awakening have earned my respect, but this final trial—I will not show mercy."

Yu Xianren nodded and then slowly said, 'I hope Uncle Qingfeng will give his all.'

"Of course!"

The Qingfeng War Emperor raised his hand and waved.

In an instant.

The surrounding space seemed to be twisted by an invisible force.

An ancient, heavy giant book slowly floated into midair; its pages turned on their own, making a 'shush-shush' sound.

"I practice the Dao through literature; in this trial, you must face three difficult questions."

The Qingfeng War Emperor's eyes gleamed as he stared at Yu Xian'er, his expression holding a mix of anticipation and scrutiny.

He continued, 'First, the book will randomly display a wondrous chapter left by ancient sages; you must fully grasp its meaning within the time of one incense stick—any deviation will trigger the book's sealing power and bring a backlash.'

"Second, I will manifest spiritual power to condense the book's text into illusions; they will intertwine, collide, and even alter themselves—you must discern the original content from among them."

"This process tests not only your eyesight, but also your memory and understanding of the Dao."

"Third, after completing the first two, you must integrate the Dao you have comprehended into yourself, stirring the resonance of your Vastly Righteous Bloodline; only by successfully awakening it do you pass."

Just as his words fell.

A flash of light in the giant book, and an obscure ancient text appeared.

Upon seeing this strange text, Yu Xian'er felt as if the words before her eyes had come alive.

At times they twisted.

At times they jumped.

Each character seemed to contain endless mysteries.

Yet they were hard to grasp.

Her brows furrowed tightly.

Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped from her forehead.

Time ticked by second by second, yet her understanding of this obscure text remained superficial.

The time allotted for one incense stick passed in an instant.

Just as the sealing power was about to be triggered.

Yu Xian'er suddenly had a flash of inspiration, awakening a ten‑thousandfold comprehension ability, and seemingly also gained the ability to enter the Dao through literature.

Those characters that originally looked chaotic and disordered.

At this moment, they seemed to have found a contextual pathway, becoming clear in her mind.

And she, having gained the ability to enter the Dao through literature, finally grasped the profound meaning of this passage.

But before she could catch her breath,

countless textual illusions appeared in the air.

They intertwined and flickered, dazzling the eyes.

Yu Xian'er knew this was the Qingfeng War Emperor's second trial.

She must pass the trial without hesitation.

Immediately, she strained her weary spirit, widened her eyes, and carefully discerned.

These illusions kept shifting, trying to disturb her judgment; her gaze wavered between confusion and resolve.

Several times she was nearly led astray.

But relying on her stubborn will and the ten‑thousandfold comprehension ability that granted her the literature‑into‑Dao skill,

she gradually found the pattern and successfully restored the original content.

Such a scene left the Qingfeng War Emperor in the heavenly‑character‑sized private room stunned.

He held a bowl of improved hero's wine and said:

"This girl is indeed not bad; her talent and potential are several times more fearsome than mine in my youth."

Lin Yang chuckled and said: "That makes sense."

"How about it? Do you have the idea of becoming her Dao protector?"

Upon hearing that,

The Qingfeng War Emperor startled, naturally knowing Lin Yang's purpose in doing this—to help Yu Xian'er rise to power.

He wanted to become Yu Xian'er's strong backing.

However, this matter is of great importance.

He would not act rashly.

Seeing the Qingfeng War Emperor hesitate, Lin Yang immediately drained his cup of wine and said to Jiang Yuehuo:

"Yuehuo, take his cup."

Upon hearing that,

The Qingfeng War Emperor hastily shielded his wine cup, saying: "Hey hey, hey hey, what are you doing?"

Discussing matters, just discussing matters—why are you taking away my wine bowl?

Qingfeng Zhandi was originally someone who loved wine as much as life, and moreover, Lin Yang's improved Hero's Wine is even more delicious than some imperial brews.

He naturally protected his wine as if it were his life.

Lin Yang, however, said: "Don't want to agree to the request? Still want to drink? You really have a thick face."

Yuehuo, clear it away.

Jiang Yuehuo was also quite sensible, going to snatch Qingfeng Zhandi's bowl.

Seeing this, Qingfeng Zhandi hurriedly said: "I haven't refused; this can be discussed, right?"

Upon hearing that,

Lin Yang smiled and said: "Yuehuo, fill it up for him."

"Yes!" Jiang Yuehuo readily agreed.

Immediately, he unhurriedly filled Qingfeng Zhandi's wine, and at the same time, laughing, he said: "Qingfeng Zhandi, that girl's talent and potential are obvious to all."

As far as I know, among the Imperial Clan, although the Great Emperor is an invincible existence, there are still things to be wary of; one still needs to take a position, and if the position is correct, that can save decades of detours.

Of course, this is just my complaining; as for the specifics, it's up to you to decide.

Jiang Yuehuo's words were like a bell ringing in his heart.

Indeed, becoming an emperor does not mean being free of worries.

The stronger one's strength, the greater one's abilities, and the more things one needs; moreover, this also requires the support of the Imperial Clan, just as Jiang Yuehuo said.

Stand in the right position, and you will avoid countless years of detours.

Furthermore, Jiangu Dadi naturally saw Yu Xian'er's potential, which is why he chose to become her Dao Protector.

How could he not take that step?

Immediately, he looked at Yu Xian'er, who was undergoing the trial, then at Lin Yang, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, I will also serve as his Dao Protector."

Having said that, he drained the wine in his bowl in one gulp.

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang also looked at Qingfeng Zhandi, smiled, and said: "Yuehuo, keep filling it up for him."

"Yes."

Jiang Yuehuo nodded slightly, and then filled Qingfeng Zhandi's bowl again.

At the same time, Yu Xian'er inside the fifth level was utterly exhausted, with barely any spiritual power left.

But she knew that the most crucial step had not yet been completed.

She took a deep breath, integrating the Dao essence she had previously comprehended into herself, attempting to awaken the Haoran Bloodline.

At first, there was no movement inside her body.

Her heart sank; could it be that all her efforts would come to naught?

Just as she was almost despairing, that mysterious tenfold comprehension power once again took effect.

She felt a weak force begin to stir within her body.

This force grew stronger and stronger.

Finally.

The Haoran Bloodline was successfully awakened.

A surge of Haoran righteous qi rose from within her.

It shot straight up to the clouds.

In an instant, it also shattered Qingfeng Zhandi's examination.

Upon seeing this, Qingfeng Zhandi merely showed a relieved smile.

After all, Lin Yang's and Jiang Yuehuo's words had already set him at ease.

He actually hoped that Yu Xian'er would successfully pass the examination, and indeed that was the case.

Yu Xian'er indeed did not disappoint him, and at the same time comprehended the bloodline of the Five Emperors of the Imperial Clan.

Such talent is unprecedented in the history of the Imperial Clan.

He said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have successfully passed the Five Emperors' ultimate examination."
