Chapter 4, The Feeble-minded Emperor

In just four short characters, it excludes 99% of the people in the world. Refining the essence to the ninth level and refining the spirit to the fifth level; the latter appears to be easier to cultivate to the unparalleled realm, yet in reality, it places a much greater emphasis on talent compared to the former.

Gu Cheng silently contemplated

The Way of Fire: "Your Highness must not disrupt the hierarchy; you are the sovereign, and I shall certainly assist you in reaching the pinnacle, treading upon the universe!"

How low is it

There is no need for that, you can communicate with me on a spiritual level

Your Highness need not worry too much; I am being worshipped by the Han people, and I will naturally provide assistance. In this world, various ethnic groups coexist, and the dragon's energy will surely be drawn from among the foreign tribes

Gu Cheng's first reaction was that it was fortunate it wasn't Zhang Jiao

The strong can do as they please

calm and composed

Gu Cheng felt a shiver run through his body, and he saw a small flame emerge from his forehead, hovering before him: "I am the Dragon Spirit of the Great Han, one of the Nine Extraordinary Flames, transformed from the will of billions. You may call me 'Fire'!"

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, and an uncontrollable smile gradually appeared on his face as he asked, "What year is it today?"

The seeds of ambition have already been sown, and Gu Cheng saluted ahead: "I have met with Senior Longling!"

Yet this time, his distractions were effortlessly brushed away like conspicuous dust, leaving his mind continuously empty and his demeanor completely serene

It is impossible for a person to be free from distracting thoughts; even immortals experience the seven emotions and six desires. The key lies in how to channel and suppress them

Even when the positions are completely opposite, he is still a person whose words leap off the page. At first, the minister thought that the emperor was supporting him, but after the execution, he discovered that there was also an imperial edict from the opposing side. Upon comparing the two, both sides were left bewildered.

"Do you regard me as your master?" Gu Cheng's heart skipped a beat

Gu Cheng also took this crucial step only after experiencing great sorrow and joy, significant ups and downs, overcoming inner demons, and letting go of obsessions

Gu Cheng took everything in at a glance, first smiling with satisfaction, then feeling puzzled.

As the divine dragon appeared, its magical power surged forth, Gu Cheng soon discovered that within the depths of his soul lay countless forgotten memories

He is not a history major; although he has some understanding of ancient emperors and notable events, how could he possibly remember the names of every emperor clearly?

In the "Eight Parts of the Dragon Canon," Gu Cheng has practiced the chapter on cultivation thousands of times since the age of three, yet he has been unable to make any progress due to the distracting thoughts that linger in his mind.

Gu Cheng was suddenly lifted so high that his eyes narrowed slightly: "The worlds of the heavens?"

Liu Bian has taken over since the moment he was born, and his every word and action cannot be exposed. However, this time the person he has crossed over to is not young, and their habits and behaviors have already formed. Those who serve as attendants, such as eunuchs, should be able to notice something amiss at a glance.

Not only is it related to the identity of Liu Bian in the "previous life" on hetushucom.com, but even the memories of the previous Earth are remarkably clear and vivid.

Gu Chengdao: "I will take you into other worlds to absorb dragon energy to replenish myself"

The old eunuch was taken aback: "Your Highness, how could you forget even this? It is the fourth year of Shaoxi!"

When Zhao Kuo ascended to the throne, the national strength of the Southern Song was not particularly strong, but due to the decline of the Jin state, the two countries were roughly on par. During his thirty-year reign, he was controlled by two powerful ministers. The first one was fervently pro-war, but then his subordinates rebelled, leading to a great defeat against the Jin state. The latter was strongly pro-peace, resulting in the signing of various humiliating treaties.

Gu Cheng's smile vanished

The Way of Fire: This is a course of action taken out of necessity. Our external forces are rejected by the consciousness of the world. Only by transforming our forms and integrating into the universe can we gradually devise our plans. Furthermore, in our desire to absorb the dragon energy of foreign tribes, we must also rely on the power of virtue

The Way of Fire: "Indeed, Your Highness is a person who defies fate and alters destiny! Our Han dynasty was destined to last only four hundred years, an unchangeable fate. It is your arrival that has thrown the heavenly secrets into disarray, making the future promising and allowing me to glimpse the existence of the myriad worlds!"

He was overjoyed and quickly recalled some information about Zhao Kuo from his memory

So I am that foolish emperor

The subordinates in this world appear to have a high level of psychological resilience, as they remain completely unperturbed even when I lose my composure. Wait a moment, something seems off ...

What?

Throughout Chinese history, there have been over 500 emperors, and in a vast forest, one can find all kinds of birds, among which Zhao Kuo can be considered a peculiar figure

The old eunuch respectfully replied: "Lord Huang Chang, the esteemed one!"

Absorbing the dragon energy of the Jin state and Mongolia? That would indeed be excellent

"How did I end up in such a predicament..." Gu Cheng smiled wryly and shook his head, his hands clasped together in a gesture of respect, he bowed to the small flame before him and said, "Thank you for your guidance, esteemed elder"

In the end, did one not escape after all

Gu Cheng casually asked, "Which Lord Huang?"

What is wrong with me

All memorials shall be approved without exception

Gu Cheng thought of the appearance of the other seven characters before entering the world and asked about it

The "Eight Parts of the Dragon Canon" was chosen as the foundational technique by the illustrious Han Dynasty precisely because it offers eternal proof; once one steps through this great door, one can harness the Dragon God to suppress the restless mind and chaotic thoughts, refining one's magical power, thereby saving practitioners countless precious hours without them even realizing it

What caught the eye was an old eunuch, his expression one of panic, filled with fear

Under the guidance of "Fire," Gu Cheng silently closed his eyes, only to feel a scroll of books suddenly appear in the darkness. Upon opening it, scenes of memories unfolded before him

While contemplating whether to inquire further with the old eunuch about his own situation, a vast voice suddenly resonated deep within Gu Cheng's soul

The second reaction is that this eunuch appears quite shabby, his complexion is particularly poor, and he is also enveloped in a strange odor

The Eight-Part Dragon Classic, could it be the White Silk? Just as I was in distress, the voice of "Fire" sounded once again

Is it possible that ... ...

However, after a moment of silence, there was no longer the usual gloom between his brows; instead, there was a sense of relief.

To be so utterly unremarkable is indeed a rarity throughout the ages, thus it is entirely conceivable that the great power has been relinquished.

However, he soon realized that something was amiss; his attire had changed, the surrounding environment appeared much more mundane, and even the air felt somewhat oppressive

Do not doubt, he is currently the only suitable candidate for you

The strong winds rise and the clouds soar, since chaotic times are approaching, mere avoidance is futile. Zhang Jiao has demonstrated one thing through his actions.

At this moment of achievement, his brow swelled, and an illusory light dragon gradually emerged, suppressing distracting thoughts

As I was contemplating future plans, the old eunuch beside me, who had almost turned into a statue, suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, it is time for Lord Huang's lecture."

A pungent smell rushed into Gu Cheng's nose, causing him to shiver and suddenly straighten his back.

His governing ability is so low that it is shocking, and he is evaluated by later generations as being intellectually disabled

He had been suppressed for far too long, previously thinking that he would be captured by Zhang Jiao and meet a tragic end. Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better, and one day he escaped from his cage. This kind of exhilaration is simply beyond words to describe

Gu Cheng laughed heartily

The "Fire" Path: "This is the vitality brought by Your Highness. The heavens are vast and boundless. With Your Highness's guidance, the Dragon Spirit of the Great Han enters the Seven Realms, absorbing the primordial dragon energy. When the day of return arrives, it will be the time when the fire of virtue is rekindled and the Han dynasty shines anew"

It turns out that I am called Zhao Kuo, seemingly a certain emperor of the Song Dynasty? Gu Cheng furrowed his brow, deep in thought.

The little flame flickers: "The original owner's soul has been captured. After you have browsed through it, I will explain it to you further!"

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of those nearby, with many palace maids and eunuchs peering over to see what was happening, while the old eunuch retreated to the side, observing with a calm demeanor, his eyes focused on his nose and his nose on his heart.

After his death, the fate of the Southern Song Dynasty was essentially sealed for extinction

Gu Chengyi was taken aback, exerting force from his back, rising step by step. As his body moved, it resembled a divine dragon waving its tail, and in an instant, he shot up several inches, letting out a long howl from his mouth

The roar of the tiger and the chant of the dragon

Haha! Good!

Your Highness! Your Highness! You have finally awakened! I was terrified!

The transformed form of the dragon spirit, which is divided into eight parts, along with divine weapons and secret manuals, as well as rare treasures of heaven and earth, are all present, even among infants. It seems that the influx of dragon spirit power has already caused many unforeseen impacts on this world. Given the vastness of heaven and earth, it is unrealistic to search relying solely on one's own strength. Therefore, it appears that ascending to the throne and seeking the world is the way forward
