C7 Fallen Heart Flame

"Eh?"

While they were chatting, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt his lower abdomen heat up, and a stream of qi was flowing through his dantian. He felt somewhat puzzled.

"System, what's going on? "Why is the internal energy in the host's body circulating and rising?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"Host, due to the relationship between the host and the Zhao sisters, the internal meridian of the Emperor produces an effect." The System explained.

"Then, other than the benefits for this host, do the people who dual cultivate with me get any benefits?" Zhu Houzhao asked again.

"Yes, depending on your strength, you'll get different benefits."

After listening to the explanation given by the system, Zhu Houzhao said to the Zhao sisters, "If you feel any internal energy coming out of your bodies, focus your mind, absorb it, and increase your strength."

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao no longer paid any attention to the Zhao sisters. He sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the benefits brought by the dual cultivation according to the Emperor's inner scripture.

Inside his body, the surging waves of inner strength flowed unceasingly through his tendons and veins, continuously attacking them. Wherever the inner strength mentioned, the tendons and veins would become stronger, and at the same time, they would become tough and broad.

"Break!"

When the inner strength gathered at the Ren Meridian, under the impact time and time again, it finally broke through the bottleneck. The turbulent inner strength directly poured into the Ren Meridian.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao's aura also continued to grow stronger.

Boom!

Zhu Houzhao's strength had once again risen, reaching the realm of the first-rate.

A moment later, when Zhu Houzhao had stabilized his strength, he slowly opened his eyes. Two rays of light shot out from his starry eyes, which then returned to normal.

Name: Zhu Houzhao

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Innate Ability: 20 (Superior talent. The higher the number, the faster the cultivation)

Comprehension: 20 (Superior talent, the higher the number, the faster the comprehension)

Item: None

Cultivation Method: The Emperor's Third Stage of the Internal Canon (There are ten levels in total, and each level is divided into three stages: Initiation, Small Success, Large Success, and Completion)

Cultivation Stage: Superlative

Identity: Emperor of Great Righteousness and Virtue

Warehouse: Xuan-Yuan Sword Card

Under Zhu Houzhao's control, his Attribute Panel appeared in front of him.

With the increase in his strength, his Innate Ability and Intelligence also increased. At this moment, the Emperor's Internal Canon had reached the Small Success Stage of the Third Stage.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching the super great realm. The reward card x1 has been awarded to you. Would you like to use it?" At this moment, the System's voice resounded in his mind.

"Use it!" Zhu Houzhao casually said.

"Ding! Congratulations to host on successfully using Realm Award Card x1, you have obtained the Fallen Heart Flame." The system prompted again.

When Zhu Houzhao heard that he had obtained the Fallen Heart Flame, he was overjoyed. Looking at the small flame floating in the warehouse, he was extremely excited.

This Fallen Heart Flame originated from the Heaven Breaking Battle World and was one of the main character Xiao Yan's' Heavenly Flames'. It was ranked fourteenth on the 'Heavenly Flame Ranking' and had the ability to purify internal energy, increase one's training speed, and was an extremely good training tool.

"System, use the Fallen Heart Flame," Zhu Houzhao ordered.

"Puff!"

Following Zhu Hou's order, the Fallen Heart Flame flew out from the warehouse and extended its hand. Although the Fallen Heart Flame could feel the temperature rise, Zhu Hou could not feel any heat at all.

Then, without wasting any time, Zhu Houzhao directly put the Fallen Heart Flame into his mouth and started to circulate the Emperor's Inner Scripture. In the time it takes to boil a cup of tea, the Fallen Heart Flame was completely refined and became a part of Zhu Houzhao's Inner Qi. At the same time, he continued to circulate his Inner Qi.

What made Zhu Houzhao happy was that his cultivation had just reached the early stage of the super realm, yet his cultivation had increased by a small level, reaching the intermediate stage.

At this time, beside Zhu Houzhao, the two beautiful ladies had already entered the stage and their auras were constantly increasing. As for the reason why Zhu Houzhao was absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame, they naturally did not know about it.

Another hour passed. Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hodor woke up one after the other. They were surprised that their strength had reached the level of an early Second Rated Warrior.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Zhao Hodor and Zhao Feiyan asked at the same time.

"It's naturally beneficial to be my woman." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was unwilling to say more, the Zhao sisters cleverly chose not to question him.

"Clap clap!" After a few slaps on each of the Zhao sisters' plump buttocks, a crisp sound was heard. Amidst their anger, Zhu Houzhao said, "Please go back and rest, my two beloved concubines. I still have things to do."

Not long after the two girls tactfully left, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

Not far from the door!

Xue Rengui rushed over under the lead of a young eunuch.

At this moment, Xue Rengui's expression was very different. There was doubt, agitation, and unease on his face. He didn't understand why his majesty would summon such a nobody like him.

However, since they were here, Xue Rengui clenched his teeth and finally became determined. He understood that whether it was a blessing or a curse was not an option. Rather than having wild thoughts, he might as well face it calmly.

"Your Majesty, Xue Rengui has arrived." The eunuch's voice drifted in.

"Creak!" Hearing the eunuch's report, Zhu Houzhao suppressed the thoughts in his heart and slowly opened the door, looking at the legendary Tang Dynasty general in front of him.

Xue Rengui was forty years old. His eyes were filled with spirit, and he was tall.

At the same time, the system's voice sounded out in Zhu Houzhao's mind.

"Xue Li"

Strength: Peak of super great realm

Loyalty: 100%

Character: Calm

"Xue Li, what's your rank?" Zhu Houzhao asked in a low voice with an intimidating look on his face. Although he admired Xue Rengui in his previous life, his status and position were different now. He would not want to be a loser and chase after a star.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this lowly one is currently a soldier of the imperial guards. I do not have an official position!" He had originally wanted to rely on his strength to gain fame and become a wife, but unfortunately, after becoming a soldier, he was transferred directly to the imperial guards.

And most of the important figures in the imperial guards were descendants of high-ranking officials. If he wanted to rely on his ability to rise in rank, it would be next to nothing.

"How long have you been serving in the army? Do you have any wives or children?" Zhu Houzhao asked again.

"I've only been serving in the army for less than three months. My mother passed away due to illness last year, and I still have the Liu family and a pair of children!" Xue Rengui seemed to have calmed down.

"Mm, I've heard that your martial arts skills are extraordinary, and you're familiar with military affairs. It's quite a pity to be a small imperial guard. Today, I've bestowed you with the title of a 1000 member of the imperial guards. "Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment. He had given Xue Rengui an official position, so he couldn't give him too much. Otherwise, it would cause a lot of trouble. As for whether he could improve in the future, that would depend on his own abilities.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xue Rengui said excitedly. An increase in his position not only meant an increase in his salary, but also meant that he would have more chances to appreciate his position in the future. How could he not be excited?

"Mm. The decree will be passed on in a moment. As for your subordinates, as long as they have 10,000 soldiers, you can choose from among them." Zhu Houzhao said slowly.

With that, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and Xue Rengui bowed once more before leaving.
