Chapter 295 I Think Therefore I Am
Eternal Academy won!
The various forces watching from afar were not surprised by this result, but were astonished that the academy had achieved such a great victory.
Su Lianyun slew the Great Western King with his sword, and the Eternal Emperor's Son tore a bloody gash through the imperial army.
What will happen next is not hard to guess; the Panyue Dynasty will not give up and will send out even more powerful forces.
If Eternal Academy holds firm and doesn't leave, it can hold out for a year or two before it can sit down and negotiate with the dynasty.
Warfare costs money. The Panyue Dynasty is indeed powerful, but the other major dynasties are also eyeing it covetously.
What everyone cares about is whether the Eternal Prince is dead or not!
On the battlefield, the oval-shaped area of lightning still shone brightly.
Someone tried to probe out with their divine sense, so the Eternal Academy raised a canopy to cover that area.
"Everyone, please leave now. From now on, Eternal Academy will not accept any visitors!" The old dean, Zhang Yuan, issued the order to leave.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan, Nangong Tian, Su Lianyun, and Situ Qing entered the sky, where lightning shone so brightly that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
"Is Junior Brother still alive?" Situ Qing asked anxiously.
"He should be dead," Zhang Yuan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt two cold gazes. He felt a headache coming on and said, "Junior Brother Su, Junior Sister Situ, a double heavenly tribulation, the tribulation clouds dissipated before the thunder. This is the only possibility."
Su Lianyun and Situ Qing looked somber. They had both obtained the Eternal Technique, with the former even reaching the Fourth Heaven and becoming a King.
But the thought that it came at the cost of his junior brother's death weighed heavily on his mind, and he felt extremely sad.
"Then why hasn't the lightning dissipated yet?" Nangong Tian asked unwillingly.
This was indeed a strange thing, and Zhang Yuan couldn't explain why.
"I'll go in and take a look." Su Lianyun was about to take action.
"Let me go." Situ Qing didn't want to see anyone else from the Eternal Lineage sacrifice themselves; if anyone had to, it should be herself.
“Let me do it. I’ll use my old bones to do my part. Junior Brother Su, the Eternal Lineage is the orthodox lineage of the academy, and you will have to take on the responsibility of the next dean,” Zhang Yuan said.
As he spoke, Zhang Yuan was about to enter the lightning.
Just then, a violent fluctuation came from within the lightning, startling him so much that he quickly stopped.
The group was both surprised and delighted. The fluctuations were a good thing, a sign that the person was alive.
Shen Ming is indeed dead. He couldn't withstand the double lightning tribulation, especially since he was only at the early stage of the first heaven.
However, Shen Ming felt that he could still be saved.
So he was still alive.
As long as you are not aware that you are dead, then you are not dead.
This belief stemmed from the word 'Eternity' bestowed upon him by the immortals. At the final moment, he witnessed the Eternal Palace open and the immortals bestowed incantations upon his senior brothers and sisters, which solidified his resolve.
At the last moment, he comprehended the eternal secret, the secret to becoming a king.
This would surely allow him to ascend to the heavens in one step, obtaining an eternal immortal body under the forging of the Heavenly Tribulation, and becoming the ruler of all kings!
Thinking of this, Shen Ming's emotions surged, causing the area of lightning to fluctuate violently.
That's outrageous. The natural order maintains the balance of all things; it shouldn't allow me to defy the heavens like this.
However, Shen Ming's 'rationality' about the world made him change his mind.
As a result, the lightning fluctuations gradually subsided.
Su Lianyun, Zhang Yuan, and the others stared at each other in disbelief. The fluctuations just now were truly terrifying, as if a god had descended to earth and was about to tear the world apart.
"What is he doing?" Zhang Yuan asked, puzzled.
Su Lianyun and Situ Qing were unaware of this.
"It's the Emperor! It must be the Emperor's arrangement to pass on his mantle!" Nangong Tian exclaimed excitedly.
This Heavenly Palace Master is even more fanatical about the Eternal Emperor's Son than the entire Eternal lineage.
real or fake?
Zhang Yuan frowned. The academy was a lineage left behind by the Emperor, but that was many years ago.
Initially, the academy did not decline for a period of time, until the thirteenth dean emerged and brought the academy to great heights.
"Regardless of the outcome, announce to the public that the imperial prince is dead."
Suddenly, Zhang Yuan remembered the important matter and gave instructions to the people present.
The three were quite puzzled, but the clever ones figured it out after a little thought.
The conflict between them and the Panyue Dynasty is not over yet. For the academy, the first step is to secure negotiations.
They couldn't possibly attack the three realms from the bottom up, storm into the Supreme Golden Palace, and behead Pan Huang.
Generally speaking, when the Panyue Dynasty encounters tough opponents on the battlefield outside its borders and fails to conquer them after a prolonged siege, it will attempt to offer them amnesty.
Under these circumstances, if the Eternal Emperor's son is still alive, the dynasty will hold him accountable and demand his return.
On the contrary, regardless of whether negotiations are possible, they can deceive everyone, secretly cultivate the imperial prince, and maintain the initiative.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I want." This was Nangong Tian's idea from the very beginning.
“Given the prince’s performance, once he becomes king, no one will be able to stop him on the battlefield beyond the realms,” Zhang Yuan said.
"We must be absolutely certain that nothing goes wrong, and the Panyue Dynasty must not find out," Su Lianyun said.
"That's why I let you in. Try to act convincingly in a bit," Zhang Yuan said.
……
Amidst the lightning, Shen Ming pondered his current situation, fearing he might suddenly hear someone shouting about the Emperor's arrangements or the Emperor's mantle.
Yup!
He immediately realized that he was the genuine Eternal Emperor's Son, possessing the radiance of the Great Dao.
At this critical juncture, the Eternal Immortal Spirit, who has remained hidden until now, will appear.
Yes, that's how it's written in novels!
Therefore, Shen Ming was full of expectations.
Inside the Eternal Palace, the fairy spirit felt completely drained. As a fairy spirit, she was unable to move freely in this extraterrestrial battlefield where the Heavenly Dao was incomplete.
Only by slumbering in the Hall of Eternity can they await their chance.
For no apparent reason, she was granted the Eternal Technique one after another, and she worried that it would attract the attention of the Divine Court and bring down punishment.
"Now you can finally go to sleep."
The Eternal Fairy noticed that things had calmed down outside and planned to lie down again.
Suddenly, an irresistible force carried her away from the Eternal Palace.
"No!"
The Eternal Immortal was terrified; exposed to the world, she would face unimaginable calamities.
Huh?
But soon, the Eternal Fairy discovered that nothing like that had happened, and she smoothly arrived in a patch of lightning.
Looking around, I saw human-shaped outlines composed of countless particles in the light.
Was he struck dead by lightning? The Eternal Immortal Spirit knew that this was the appearance of someone who died under the influence of lightning.
"A fairy spirit?"
The sound suddenly rang out amidst the lightning.
Ghost!
The Eternal Immortal was so frightened that it tried to flee, but found that the lightning seemed to be boundless.
"Finally, I've met a celestial spirit!" Shen Ming was extremely excited. He had always wanted to interact with sword spirits, weapon spirits, and the like, but unfortunately, he had never had the chance.
"Immortal Spirit, are you going to pass on the mantle of the Emperor to me? The Eternal Immortal Body? But I have an innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, so it seems I don't need it," Shen Ming said.
Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say.
The Eternal Immortal was so frightened she almost cried. This guy was indeed a terrifying existence. She had been deceived by appearances last time and bestowed the character 'Eternal' upon him.
Liars are all liars!
