Chapter 1562: Why Run

I still remember, back in the Fire Yuan Kingdom.

I once experienced a Seven Emotions and Six Desires Great Formation with Fairy Zixia, Shi Qingxuan.

Everyone who entered the formation would have their divine soul drawn out and thrown into some special scenes for testing.

One test is to experience a lifetime.

"These two places are so similar; could there be any connection?"

Xu Que recalled the scene in that great formation, the past events vividly in his mind, and couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Sigh, being too handsome, I can even pick up girls while breaking an array!

It's truly extremely distressing!

Xu Que cast his gaze toward those beams of light again.

From the current situation, most people's lives didn't seem to be good, and they had all lost their cultivation, but they didn't seem to be in any danger.

Of course, the one living the most miserably was Er Gouzi.

This two-brained guy seemed to have really become an ordinary dog in the illusion, living a life of being driven away everywhere every day.

"Deserved, this is called retribution!"

Xu Que stood under the beam of light, looking gloating.

"Your heart is quite big." At this time, Xuan Yuan Wanrong's voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Why are you here? Sneaking to my side, could it be that you fancy my beauty and want to plot against me? I tell you, I won't give in!"

Xu Que was stunned, put on a righteous face, and said sternly.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong had a cold face and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, directly extending her divine soul power, wanting to figure out what exactly had happened.

Xu Que had nothing to do, so he continued to observe the surrounding beams of light, and then found another acquaintance.

It was the old man who followed Little Light Bulb in the second stage.

That old man was now wearing a coarse linen robe, walking with difficulty on an old street, his face withered, his footsteps floating, obviously having reached his limit.

Immediately after, he swayed twice, then fell directly, and completely lost his breath.

On the old man's corpse, a dim white light shot out from the beam of light and scattered into fireworks in the darkness.

At the same time, another white light shot out from the darkness and entered the beam of light.

"It seems that it should have the same effect as that Seven Emotions and Six Desires Great Formation; dying in the formation means truly dying."

Seeing this scene, Xu Que confirmed his conjecture, and also understood why they hadn't been able to enter for so long before.

This ancient city could only accommodate 50,000 people; he thought that the people who had entered earlier didn't understand the rules, so they died suddenly as soon as they entered.

Subsequent trial-takers learned the rules from this, so they supported for such a long time.

He told Xuan Yuan Wanrong about the situation simply.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong frowned upon hearing this: "The Ancient Buddha Inheritance actually has such a magical array, testing people's seven emotions and six desires, but how did you know?"

"Hehe, this King of Acting Cool has read the history of the past five thousand years, so naturally I know everything from ancient times to the present."

Xu Que said confidently.

"Then tell me how to break it?"

"Do you still need to ask? Naturally, it is to maintain one's original heart; like me, a pure person, any difficulty will be broken without attack."

Whoosh!

Just at this moment, two dim white lights shot out from the beams of light.

Immediately after, an irresistible restriction force surged from the darkness and landed on the two of them.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong wanted to untie the restriction for the first time, but the next moment her face turned ugly.

"My cultivation has been restricted!" Xuan Yuan Wanrong shouted.

"Haha, rookie, this King of Acting Cool has untied it!" Xu Que laughed.

The moment the restriction covered them, he had been prepared, directly letting the system break it.

At this time, his cultivation was completely normal.

"How did you do it?" Xuan Yuan Wanrong was astonished, looking at Xu Que incredulously.

Whoosh!

But the next moment, Xuan Yuan Wanrong's body stiffened, and her whole person turned into a streak of light, sweeping toward a beam of light.

"Eh?"

Xu Que's expression also changed suddenly, and he exclaimed in surprise.

A powerful force rushed out from the beam of light that Xuan Yuan Wanrong swept into, directly pulling him in as well.

"Damn, system... system, hurry..."

Only then did Xu Que realize something was wrong, summoned the system, but it was already too late, and his whole person was directly pulled into the beam of light.

As a ripple-like pattern splashed on the beam of light, everything returned to calm.

At the same time, inside the beam of light.

"Your Majesty, your minister has old people above and young people below; you absolutely cannot leave! If you leave, the Empress will cut off your minister's head!"

A panicked voice rang out.

Xu Que lowered his head and discovered that he was actually riding on a wall.

On the left was the magnificent Imperial City, imposing and majestic, and on the right was the bustling Imperial City street, with a lively market in the distance.

Under the wall, a young man wearing a dark purple official uniform was looking up at him, waving his hands, looking very anxious.

Seeing Xu Que look over, the young man hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I know you yearn for freedom, but this private escape from the palace is not a solution!"

Your Majesty?

Damn!

I entered and directly became the Emperor?

Then wouldn't that be three palaces and six courtyards, twelve concubines, three thousand beauties in the harem, etc., beautiful!

Xu Que's eyes lit up instantly, a bit excited.

Why run at all?

"Who said I wanted to escape? I just wanted to stand a little higher and look at my mountains and rivers."

Xu Que said with a posture, then turned over, jumped down from the wall, and landed safely.

Just feeling the inexplicable pain in the soles of his feet, Xu Que already understood that he had become a mortal again.

"Your Majesty, it's truly great that you can understand." The young man breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "After the Empress presides over the morning meeting later, she will wait for you in the Imperial Study."

"Hmm, got it... she's waiting for me? Wait, why is she presiding over the morning meeting?"

Xu Que was stunned instantly.

What does that mean?

Am I not the Emperor?

Why is the Empress presiding over the morning meeting?

The young man obviously didn't expect Xu Que to ask this, stood there for a long time, and then carefully opened his mouth: "Yes, Your Majesty... the Empress has been presiding over the morning meeting for some years."

Then, under Xu Que's questioning, he finally figured out his identity.

Two words summarized: Incompetent Emperor!

The current territory is a country named Eastern Tang, located in the east of this land, and he is the sovereign of Eastern Tang, still named Xu Que.

However, this identity of his possesses a complete life.

The old Emperor of Eastern Tang died early, so little "Xu Que" took over the government at the age of eight.

But eight years old... understands a fart about government!

Almost without any accident, the entire court was messed up, the people were living in misery, and he was once called an incompetent emperor.

But little "Xu Que" was fond of poetry, books, singing, and dancing, had no interest in government at all, made such a mess, and then just let go.

Seeing that the country was about to perish, at this time, the neighboring Feng Yu Kingdom took the initiative to propose a marriage alliance with Eastern Tang.

At the age of fourteen, little Xu Que married the Third Princess of the Feng Yu Kingdom.

After the marriage, the Third Princess was immediately established as the Empress, and she also showed excellent talent for governing the country, soon cultivating her own forces.

If it were any other emperor, he would have started to panic, but little Xu Que was entangled in how he, a dignified great man, was actually politically married?

He wanted democracy! Wanted equality! Wanted free love!

Thus, for a full eight years, little Xu Que and the Empress had never shared a room.

And every few days, little Xu Que had to find ways to escape the palace, under the name of pursuing dreams.

"Damn, this idiot..."

After understanding everything, Xu Que couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

The young man thought he had misheard: "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"Nothing, take me to the morning meeting; I have something to announce!"

Xu Que put his hands behind his back, a flamboyant arc at the corners of his mouth, and an inexplicable aura permeated.

Incompetent Emperor?

Heh!

Then let this King of Acting Cool show you what is called a happy planet, next next... pfft, no, what is called a bright lord!
