Chapter 1270: Chapter 200: Breaking the Seal
Immediately afterward.
His flesh quivered.
Originally staying at the Grandmaster realm, in an instant, he directly stepped into the Extreme Realm.
Not only that.
After breaking through to the Extreme Realm, without pausing for long, he further crossed into the Heavenly Realm.
At this point.
The breakthrough finally came to a halt.
At the same time.
As his realm stabilized at the Heaven Being level, a new force emerged from his flesh.
The slight white in his hair disappeared, and the wrinkles on his face gradually faded away.
Everything seemed to have returned to decades ago.
The changes in his body made Gu Xing’s face show excitement, his body gently trembling.
He could clearly perceive.
That his physical functions have not only returned to when he was at his youngest, but have even surpassed that.
On the other side.
The Heavenly Eye disappeared, and Shen Changqing said with a faint smile, "I have fulfilled my duty. The seals set by the Primordial Emperor have been removed by me."
"I, thank Defender Shen!"
Gu Xing stood up and solemnly bowed deeply.
This was the first time since becoming the Great Qin Holy Emperor that he had given such a grand gesture to someone.
Sealing removed.
The favor is as great as rebirth.
The debt owed to the other party is now hard to repay.
Shen Changqing raised his hand slightly, stopping the other’s bowing motion, and slightly shook his head: "Back in the day, the Primordial Emperor set the seals due to concern that an emperor might, for personal gain, refine the Human Clan’s fortune, causing untold suffering.
Now that the Immortal Dao has reappeared, refining fortune is a misguided path, and the sealing has no meaning.
I only hope that after unsealing for Your Majesty, it can benefit the people."
"Defender Shen, rest assured, I will certainly not disappoint your high expectations!"
Gu Xing’s expression was extremely serious.
Shen Changqing said, "Your Majesty possesses strong fortune, and now that the power of the seal has been lifted, I believe the path in the Immortal Dao will be smooth, with Heaven Being just the beginning. One day it might be possible to reach the Immortal Golden Body or even the Cave Heaven Realm.
I believe it won’t take long before our Human Clan has another supreme expert."
Those with great fortune are inherently endowed with exceptional talent.
But previously, there was the Primordial Emperor’s sealing suppressing it, preventing this fortune from exerting significant effects.
Now that the seal just got removed, the other party swiftly progressed through two realms, directly entering the Heaven Being Realm.
Shen Changqing believes.
If allowed to continue in this manner, within less than a hundred years, this person will be able to reach the Immortal Golden Body Realm.
If the Spiritual Energy in Heaven and Earth can revive, the speed of reaching the Immortal Golden Body Realm will be further shortened.
Gu Xing was elated, smiling, "Thank you, Defender Shen, for your kind words!"
Hearing this.
Shen Changqing stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "I have just returned to Great Qin, and came to meet Your Majesty first. It has been a long time since I returned to the Demon-Subduing Division; now that this matter is concluded, I shall take my leave."
"Take care, Defender Shen."
Gu Xing did not stop him and directly called a eunuch to personally escort him out.
With Shen Changqing’s departure, the Imperial Garden was left with only Gu Xing himself.
After a moment.
A long sigh was heard.
A wry smile suddenly appeared on Gu Xing’s face; he shook his head slightly, as if mocking himself, "Such a method ultimately fell short!"
What he did earlier was to retreat for advancement, hoping that the other party would assist in breaking the Primordial Emperor’s seals.
After all.
Shen Changqing’s strength far exceeded that of the Primordial Emperor, so breaking the seal laid by him was not a problem.
But he could not speak these words directly, thus had to resort to another method.
Furthermore.
The mention of abdication, though not entirely false.
If Shen Changqing were willing to take the position of Emperor Qin, Gu Xing would gladly step down.
Now, he.
No longer valued the throne as much.
Being in this position and fulfilling its responsibilities to the utmost.
One only understands the immense pressures of this position by truly sitting on it; if one is a supreme expert, the situation might still be manageable.
However, since his talents are ordinary, his methods only mediocre, maintaining the stability of Great Qin is already challenging, with little prospect of further advancement.
And the other princes of the Imperial Family, even more inadequate.
If he were to pass away, there isn’t one within the Imperial Family that is competent enough.
Forcing a prince onto the throne would just mean making wedding clothes for others.
Therefore.
It might as well be straightforward, handing the throne to Shen Changqing.
At least one thing, Gu Xing could be certain of: that the other party would not, upon inheriting, strike against the original royal family.
So.
After stating the abdication, there were only two outcomes.
First, Shen Changqing truly accepts, and he successfully unburdens himself.
Second, the other party declines verbally, then aids in breaking the Primordial Emperor’s seals.
Both outcomes.
Gu Xing could accept.
Yet in his view, the possibility of the other truly accepting the throne was slim, as with his strength, if he truly wanted to seize the throne, he could have done so two decades ago.
In fact.
It was exactly as he thought, Shen Changqing chose the latter.
Gu Xing understood.
His intentions were also clear to the other, but both tacitly understood without speaking of it.
—
On the other side.
Shen Changqing had already left the Imperial Palace.
Helping Gu Xing break the Primordial Emperor’s seals was something he had intended for a while.
Especially upon witnessing the current prosperity of Great Qin, reinforcing his understanding that the other indeed possessed commendable governance skills.
Thus.
Even knowing Gu Xing’s abdication intention was a strategic retreat for advancement, Shen Changqing still aided in removing the seals.
Otherwise.
He wouldn’t have taken action to help.
To this end.
