Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 1097 - 334: The Ninth Princess Ascends the Throne as Empress! Lu Changsheng Enters the Palace to Fulfill His Promise!

The elders used various methods to interrogate the suppressed demon.

The intelligence they obtained left them in shock and extremely shaken.

"What? This... this is a possession technique even Kunwu Realm's rules struggle to detect? And it's already being widely spread in the world of Outer Heaven deities."

"In the future, those Outer Heaven deities could enter the Kunwu Realm one by one through possession and start madly taking over bodies. And without leaking any aura, wouldn't the entire Kunwu Realm fall into chaos?"

"These Outer Heaven deities have coveted our Kunwu Realm for far too long, and they've conceived such a vicious method."

"We must now find a way to identify those who have been possessed, otherwise..."

The elders of the Royal Elder Council wore deep frowns one by one.

Clearly, this matter is troublesome.

Quite troublesome.

If it were just one or two people, or a very small portion, or only special powerful figures who mastered the possession technique, it would be manageable.

But if the possession technique isn't that difficult and spreads widely, it would be an almost devastating blow to the entire Kunwu Realm.

At the very least, it would spell big trouble for these divine dynasties.

What use is a National Guardian Divine Object then?

Who can identify possession?

If it can't be identified, someone will surely be possessed, then lie in wait for decades, or slowly grow to become a royal elder, finally taking control of the National Guardian Divine Object and claiming it for themselves.

Or possess a prince, successfully seize the throne, become the emperor of the divine dynasty, and then throw the world into chaos.

In short, once the possession technique is widely spread, considering the scale of the Outer Heaven deities' world, how many experts will come in droves to possess bodies?

The Kunwu Realm will face endless turmoil.

"We must convey this information to the other divine dynasties, so they can be prepared in advance."

"And, we must find a way to identify those who have been possessed."

"Also, the Crown Princess... could she have been possessed?"

Some elders raised doubts.

The Crown Princess!

In fact, upon careful consideration, there truly seems to be a problem with the Crown Princess.

Previously, she was just a marginal figure in the fight for succession, almost cannon fodder, destined to be exiled, with no real chance of succeeding.

Yet, merely because she went to Xia State.

After returning from Xia State, the Crown Princess changed.

The Princess Mansion swiftly rose to prominence.

And in an unstoppable manner, she eventually succeeded in the succession struggle.

Now the Emperor is dead, and the Crown Princess is about to ascend to the throne!

These events are as though out of a dream.

In every aspect, the Crown Princess seems to have the possibility of being possessed.

"The Crown Princess should be fine."

"If there is an issue, then it's definitely with Lu Changsheng of the Princess Mansion."

"This Lu Changsheng is likely an Outer Heaven deity. It's just that using methods unknown to us, perhaps through possession, or some other means, he evades detection of his Outer Heaven deity identity even by the National Guardian Divine Object."

"But we currently have no evidence, and his strength is too strong. Besides, the Crown Princess trusts him a lot, so it's not appropriate for us to use the National Guardian Divine Object to attack directly."

"Therefore, let's wait and see. As long as he doesn't harm the Great Qian Divine Dynasty, even if he is an Outer Heaven deity, it doesn't really matter..."

An elder in black robes spoke slowly.

As a royal elder, he well understands that the Outer Heaven deities are a group, each with its own goals, not united.

Many Outer Heaven deities pursue cultivation only.

As long as they don't interfere with the Great Qian Divine Dynasty.

Observing Lu Changsheng's actions, he has always assisted the Crown Princess.

Moreover, he's been gathering divine objects.

If Lu Changsheng really just seeks divine objects.

Then it's not a big deal.

The Imperial Family lacks divine objects the least!

A few days later, the enthronement ceremony of the Ninth Princess was held as scheduled.

Under the eyes of the masses, the Ninth Princess ascended to the position of the Supreme, adopting the era name Tianzhao, referred to as Emperor Tianzhao!

However, after becoming Emperor Tianzhao, the Ninth Princess seemed to have become a different person.

She never summoned Lu Changsheng to the palace.

One month, two months, three months...

For three whole months, Emperor Tianzhao seemed to have forgotten about Lu Changsheng.

For a while, some in the court seemed to speculate.

There was much discussion.

But all were very cautious.

Everyone knows, the greatest contributor to the Ninth Princess becoming Emperor Tianzhao was Lu Changsheng.

Yet, after Emperor Tianzhao's ascension, three months passed without summoning Lu Changsheng even once.

This in itself is abnormal.

On this day, an eunuch arrived in the palace with an imperial edict.

"Mister Lu, His Majesty summons you to the palace."

The eunuch wasn't overbearing.

Clearly, they knew Lu Changsheng's significance.

They dared not slight Lu Changsheng.

"Thank you, eunuch, for leading the way."

Lu Changsheng stood calmly.

It seemed the three months did not fluster him.

Thus, led by the eunuch, Lu Changsheng once again entered the Imperial Palace.

Lu Changsheng met Emperor Tianzhao in the emperor's study.

The once Ninth Princess had now become Emperor Tianzhao.

Now a high and mighty emperor!

Ruler over millions upon millions of beings, her majesty grew heavier day by day.

It seemed completely different from before.

Yet, Lu Changsheng remained the same, saluting and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianzhao lifted her head and with a wave of her hand, the eunuchs and palace maids left the study one after another.

Even the guards outside stayed a good distance away.

Leaving only Emperor Tianzhao and Lu Changsheng in the entire study.

After a long silence, Emperor Tianzhao slowly spoke, "Mister Lu, you must be an Outer Heaven deity, right?"

Emperor Tianzhao's words were a thunderous revelation!

Outer Heaven deity!

Many understand what this identity signifies.

The divine dynasty and Outer Heaven deities are often at odds.

As soon as they know an Outer Heaven deity, the divine dynasty will spare no effort to deal with them.

Ultimately, it's a matter of stance.

The divine dynasty seeks absolute control.

Whereas Outer Heaven deities mostly possess terrifying power, completely uncontrollable by the divine dynasty.

This is the greatest and irreconcilable contradiction.

Lu Changsheng remained silent for a long time, before slowly lifting his gaze to Emperor Tianzhao, and calmly replied word by word, "Didn't Your Majesty already guess?"

Lu Changsheng did not deny it.

In fact, when the Emperor Tianzhao was still the Ninth Princess, she had guessed Lu Changsheng's identity.

Even Lu Changsheng knew it.

But so what?

Both sides were merely using each other.

Especially the Ninth Princess, back then she needed Lu Changsheng to help her seize the throne.

She wouldn't reveal Lu Changsheng's identity.

Emperor Tianzhao smiled and said, "I am quite emotional. Back in Xia State, I actually suspected it, but given my dire situation, I had to increase my strength at all costs."

"Even so, I didn't expect the succession to be so smooth."

"One could say, without Mr. Lu, there would be no me today."

"I didn't summon Mr. Lu for three months because I was considering how to handle your matter."

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly, "Then has Your Majesty decided how to handle me?"

"Of course."

"I've pondered deeply and finally made up my mind."

"However, I must still ask, Mister Lu, what is your purpose?"

Emperor Tianzhao closely stared at Lu Changsheng.

"Purpose?"

Lu Changsheng laughed.

"I made it very clear from the beginning."

"I only want divine objects!"

"Once Your Majesty ascends, I also need access to the Royal Library to perhaps investigate some divine object clues, that's all."

This was not the first time Lu Changsheng had said these words.

He had expressed them a few times before.

And till now, his purpose hadn't changed.

"Very well."

"Mr. Lu, what I promised you has not been forgotten."

"Here is my token; you may now go to the Royal Library. No one will stop you, and you can browse any book!"

With that, Emperor Tianzhao tossed out a token.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Changsheng said no more.

He took the token and turned to leave.

Ultimately, it was just a transaction.

Visit the library, acquire the divine objects.

Then he would bid farewell to Emperor Tianzhao.

This was also Emperor Tianzhao's intention!

A transaction fulfilled, promises kept, completely cleared, owed to none!
