CHAPTER 316: CHAPTER 305: AN EMPTY HOUSE

Feng Qiwu nodded, "I led a group of cultivators who refused to submit to the divine race to rebel, but in the end, we were still suppressed by them." As he spoke, Feng Qiwu’s eyes lit up again, "But I didn’t come back empty-handed, I discovered the weaknesses of the divine race. I know how to slay gods and demons!"

"That’s also why, even though I’ve been reincarnated and retrained, the divine race will never let me go. They are still looking for me!"

"The Xuanhuang Continent was also shattered because they feared I might reincarnate back there, leading to a depletion in Star Power and the disappearance of cultivators!"

"But when the Star Power of the Xuanhuang Continent revives, they will certainly send people over to investigate again. By then, my existence may not be hidden any longer," said Feng Qiwu.

The Xuanhuang Continent is his birthplace, so once its Star Power fully recovers, the divine race is bound to suspect that it might have something to do with him and come to investigate thoroughly.

As for hiding his existence?

Considering the divine race’s nature of preferring to kill erroneously than to let someone slip by, once they discover the revival of Star Power on the Xuanhuang Continent, even if they don’t find him, they might once more take action, dispersing the newly revived Star Power completely, giving no chance for humans to cultivate to the realm of immortality.

...

Upon hearing Feng Qiwu’s words, Bai Susu instantly became tense.

"What should we do? You’ve just broken through to the Star Realm, and it’s estimated that the revival of Star Power is not far off. How can you restore your previous strength in such a short time?"

If he can’t break through to the realm of immortality, once discovered, there will almost be no path but death.

However, with the current depletion of Star Power on the Xuanhuang Continent... even if time was ample, he wouldn’t be able to absorb enough Star Power to cultivate.

For a moment, Bai Susu only felt that hope was dim.

Seeing the worry written all over Bai Susu’s face, Feng Qiwu instead calmly said, "Susu, don’t worry. Before choosing my bodily dissolution, I had already fully prepared."

And now that he has successfully regained the memories of his past life, it indicates that his schemes have already half succeeded.

The next step is to break through to the realm of immortality as soon as possible and find a passage to another Great World before the divine race arrives to transfer over.

Then he’ll find ways to spread the weaknesses of the divine race to everyone.

He doesn’t believe that if all human cultivators gather together, they won’t be able to resist the limited numbers of the divine race.

...

At this moment, Bai Susu’s eyes lit up, "Really? Then what should we do next?"

"You’ll find out soon," Feng Qiwu said with a smile.

He then turned serious and called for Xiao Quanzi, "Inform Ling Han and the others to pack up immediately and prepare to head to Spirit Mountain."

Xiao Quanzi was startled for a moment, then quickly responded, "Yes, Your Highness!"

Going to Spirit Mountain?

What is His Highness planning to do at Spirit Mountain at this time?

Is he really not going to care about matters in the palace?

Bai Susu couldn’t help but ask, "Shu Kuang, is there something you’ve hidden at Spirit Mountain?"

Feng Qiwu smiled and nodded, "That’s right. There’s a secret treasure I left behind before my bodily dissolution, containing enough resources for me to break through to the realm of immortality."

"That’s great!" Bai Susu let out a long sigh of relief.

Luckily, he had prepared in advance.

Otherwise, given the current thin Star Power on the Xuanhuang Continent, who knows how many years it would take to break through to the realm of immortality!

...

Just as Feng Qiwu was preparing to evacuate the Capital City directly to head to Spirit Mountain, Feng Changge was in his study, angrily smashing all the vases and ornaments on the bookshelf to pieces.

"Why? How come?"

"Even if that madman is unfit to be emperor, according to ancestral law, the elder son should be made emperor. Why did Father bypass me to make the third son emperor? How am I inferior to the third son?" Feng Changge’s face was filled with resentment and anger.

He acknowledged that in terms of talent, strategy, and power, he couldn’t compare to Feng Qiwu.

But at least he wasn’t any worse than Feng Wuchen, was he?

In the end, though, after the Crown Prince was deposed, Father quietly made the third son emperor.

He simply couldn’t understand what Father was thinking!

And Feng Changge’s advisors, observing his frenzied resentment, could only look at each other silently.

Of course, they too were filled with unwillingness.

They’d plotted until now, all for the position of Crown Prince, and now what?

Not only did they not get the position of Crown Prince, but it was directly snatched away, and the throne was quietly handed over.

Who wouldn’t be angry?

But apart from impotent rage, they really had no other option now.

Meanwhile, upon learning that Feng Wuchen has already ascended the throne, Bai Wanwan was utterly shocked.

What?

Feng Wuchen has already ascended the throne?

Although in a previous life, Feng Wuchen did end up laughing last, but that was after Feng Qiwu’s sudden death three years later!

Though branded a tyrant and insulted by many while in power, Feng Qiwu ruled so tightly that no one dared voice their anger, and his rule was very stable.

If he hadn’t died, even if Feng Qiwu had destabilized the Da Qin dynasty, the throne probably never would have gone to Feng Wuchen.

But what’s happening now?

Feng Qiwu has actually been deposed, and it’s Feng Wuchen who has ascended to the throne.

Then there’s Feng Qingyang, the emperor.

Feng Qingyang is extremely obsessed with power. One could say that as long as he lives, even if he’s terminally ill, he would never relinquish control.

Yet such an emperor is now willing to step down?

It’s simply unfathomable.

However, Bai Wanwan soon thought of Bai Susu.

Having just recently become the Crown Princess Consort, not only has she lost that title, but the new emperor is likely to fear and target her in every way possible. Bai Susu must be feeling terrified, right?

But she brought this upon herself.

Why did she have to marry Feng Qiwu?

But what Bai Wanwan doesn’t know is that at this moment, when Bai Susu should be scared out of her wits in her view, Bai Susu has already boarded a carriage and left the Capital City swiftly.

The entire Eastern Palace is now empty, without even a single live chicken left behind.

...

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace, the first confrontation between Feng Wuchen and Feng Qingyang has come to a conclusion.

To assure Ling Su of his sincerity, Feng Wuchen decisively issued an edict to establish her as empress, while dismissing all former consorts.

Though this move was difficult for the ministers to accept, it greatly pleased Ling Su.

For her, Feng Wuchen was willing to oppose the whole world, what more was there for her to worry about?

So when the ministers provoked intense opposition again, Ling Su released a surge of overwhelming pressure.
