Immortality: My cultivation Has No Bottleneck

Capital.

News of Prince Ye An’s high-profile return to the capital has caused confusion and intrigue among the various aristocratic families residing there. After all, he had left the capital previously in disgrace in order to avoid disaster due to a major scandal involving his mother, the Princess Ping’an.

As a result of the scandal, Princess Ping’an was even confined to the royal palace. The entire ordeal was common knowledge among the powerful families, who had witnessed their share of power struggles within their households as well.

Moreover, the Side Concubine of Prince Ping’an’s mother’s family was not considered weak and had exceptional methods. Utilizing the wrongdoing of Princess Ping’an’s family to her advantage, she somehow managed to force Ye An to leave the capital for a distant land.

Everyone had initially believed it impossible for Ye An to ever return to the capital, but in just half a month, he had reappeared in the city. How could this not cause astonishment and curiosity among the capital’s aristocratic families? Even the Side Concubine of Prince Ping’an exhibited some doubt and suspicion.

The subsequent events that unfolded became the talk of the town, with Ye An displaying a fiery temper that bordered on inconceivable. Xiao Rang, father of the Side Concubine of Prince Ping’an and current Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood a chance of being promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites if all went well.

However, on the day of Xiao Rang’s return to his official residence, Ye An had sent a gift in the form of a mysterious, black cloth-covered box. It was placed directly in front of Xiao Rang’s horse carriage without any hesitation.

“Lord Xiao, Prince Ye An has returned to the capital today and has specially brought you this unique gift. We hope you’ll accept it with pleasure.”

Before Xiao Rang had the chance to respond, the mysterious box was carried over to him. The attendants then left abruptly, showing no regard for propriety.

In full view of the public, Xiao Rang was unable to hide his fury, but he had to maintain his composure. With a stern face, he had the box brought to his residence.bender

Upon closer inspection, the box was revealed to be a cage containing two individuals in a horrific state—Qin Xing and Chu Xiong. Their eyes had been gouged out, leaving behind dried streaks of blood. Their kneecaps had been removed, and the tendons in their hands and feet severed, causing them to endure immense pain. Yet they could only groan inaudibly, for their tongues had been cut out as well.

How could this be possible?

In a moment of shock and rage, Xiao Rang struggled to process the situation before him. After all, these two men were prominent experts in the Nine Levels of the Postnatal Realm, who had been his guests for quite some time.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread at the sight of their current condition.

“Quick, bring them inside,” he ordered.

Xiao Rang hurried back to his residence, but word of these events had already spread like wildfire throughout the capital, reaching the ears of the various aristocratic families residing there.

And then, even more shocking news reached the masses, leading many to wonder if the power dynamics within Prince Ping’an’s Mansion were on the verge of a dramatic shift.

Upon Ye An’s return to the mansion, he had gone straight to the backyard without concern for appearances and had brought Princess Ping’an, who had been under confinement, out with him. When the Side Concubine of Prince Ping’an learned of this, she refused to back down and attempted to stop him, only to be effortlessly thwarted by Ye An himself.

Undeterred, the Side Concubine scoffed and continued to harbor ill will towards him, unaware of the ordeal her father had just faced. She secretly contemplated how Prince Ping’an would deal with Ye An upon his return to the mansion.

Not just her, but countless pairs of eyes throughout the capital were fixated on the unfolding events at the royal palace. After all, such an enthralling spectacle within the capital was a rare sight to behold.

Upon Prince Ping’an’s return to the palace, his initial anger appeared to subside, as he entered Ye An’s residence with a calm demeanor. The outcome of this encounter, however, left many dumbfounded.

“The matter of the Princess’ confinement ends here. Should anyone in the palace dare to spread gossip on this matter further, they shall be beaten to death on the spot and their body cast outside the palace.”

Once this verdict had been passed, it became clear that Ye An had successfully turned the tides in his favor. It was even possible that his mother’s family would escape any further punishment.

After all, the scandal involving them had initially escalated only because their actions had upset Prince Ping’an, leading to unforeseen consequences.

The inside story of this matter is not good to talk about. The current relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and Prince Ping’an is delicate, and almost no one in the Capital dares to mention it.

But now, what everyone is concerned about is why Prince Ping’an’s attitude has changed after Ye An’s return to the Capital?

None of the major families could get specific news, so they could only speculate in secret. It was not until Xiao Rang carried Qin Xingchu Xiong to find Ye An for an explanation that the truth was finally revealed.

Innate Master!

Ye An unexpectedly had an Innate Master assisting him, which made the struggle for the position of Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion completely devoid of suspense.

And then the events in Jinzhou City began to spread throughout the Capital, and countless noble families couldn’t help but sigh.

As the reputed most stable and powerful family, it’s surprising that the maternal family of Princess Ping’an has not used that precious Barrier Breaking Pill for so many years.

However, this kind of action now indeed has its rewards, but most families are more amazed by Ye An’s long-lasting fortune.

If it weren’t for this, how could he have been kidnapped and taken away from the royal palace and sent to Jinzhou City to make a connection with Jinshan Temple?

So the misfortune of losing him back then seems like a great blessing now?

If there are no accidents, Ye An’s position as prince is as steady as Mount Tai.

Jinzhou City.

There is an immortal in the mundane world.

That’s the news that Liang Sheng had heard after he followed the No-Life Sect followers and investigated post-Jinshan Temple’s battle. For the first time since coming to this world, he truly heard the rumors about immortals.

There’s a secret to becoming an Immortal in Dayan Capital, which is why the No-Life Sect has been constantly creating incidents within Dayan Kingdom.

Everything they do is to search for immortals.

But the specifics of this, even those two No-Life Sect followers, are uncertain, and the secret may even involve the destruction of the Seven Great Sects of Dayan Dynasty.

Unfortunately, time has been too long, and such a secret may only remain among the top echelons of powerful forces in Dayan Dynasty, such as the Dayan Royal Family.

It is precisely because of this that Liang Sheng did not reveal himself to question the two No-Life Sect followers, as it would be meaningless.

However, this made Liang Sheng ponder for a while, and in the end, he was lost in thought and accidentally got his shoes wet from the splashing water stirred up by a passing wooden boat on the riverside.

This couldn’t help but make Liang Sheng stunned in place for a long time before he came to his senses, unable to help but give a bitter smile, as he was ultimately blinded by the Immortal.

He’s now just a Half-step innate, and even if Capital truly has the secret to becoming an Immortal, there are many Innate Nation Protectors in the Capital, how could it be his turn?

As the saying goes, interest moves the heart. In the end, he was too greedy. As long as he played it safe, his lifespan was limitless, so why rush?

He would naturally go to the Capital, as it is the only place where he knows there might be a clue to the existence of immortals in the mundane world. But not now.

At this time, the old man rowing a wooden boat collecting lotus flowers in the river saw Liang Sheng’s shoes soaked in water and couldn’t help but feel genuinely panicked, after all, Liang Sheng’s clothes were not something he could afford to compensate.

Liang Sheng naturally saw the old man’s embarrassment, but because he had wet his shoes, he was able to wake up to reality. So he smiled and nodded at the old man.

“Thank you, Old Sir.”

Saying that, Liang Sheng threw a piece of broken silver onto the boat, then turned and left, leaving the old man stunned in the boat.

Was this person a fool?

How unjust was the world for allowing such a rich fool to exist while he himself had to live through poverty despite working so hard?

Liang Sheng was unaware of the old man’s grumbling in his heart at that moment. His thoughts were clear, and he felt as if his state of mind had risen to a higher level, so he naturally went to Yichun Building.

Hindsight always comes with a refreshed state of mind, and it was only fitting to celebrate it!
