Chapter 81: You underestimate your own talent!
Li Chengqian didn't believe a single word Ye Chengfeng said.
If there is a way to cultivate a ninth-rank cultivator in a short time, why would this person come to him for help?
Putting aside everything else, training over a hundred Rank 9 cultivators would be difficult even for a Grandmaster to handle!
"Your Highness doesn't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, but rather that what you're saying goes against common sense."
Li Chengqian thought to himself with disdain, "Don't you realize how outrageous your words are?"
"I observe that Your Highness is also a martial artist, possessing a cultivation level of at least sixth rank. Why not give it a try?"
Li Chengqian immediately frowned, thinking to himself, "Could it be that this method has a flaw, and they're planning to attack me?"
This time, Li Chengqian was right.
Ye Chengfeng gave Li Chengzhu a subtle look.
The other person instantly stood up, appeared behind Li Chengqian, and knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck.
"Why bother talking to him so much? Wouldn't it be better to just take action from the start?"
"You're so boring. Don't you think it would be more interesting to chat with him and play along with some collaborative games?"
"Let's get started with this boring, perverse fun!"
Li Chengzhu shook his head. He didn't quite understand Ye Chengfeng's behavior, but he expressed his respect.
Make way and let Ye Chengfeng take his place.
Ye Chengfeng stopped talking and got up to sit behind Li Chengqian, sitting cross-legged and patting Li Chengqian's back with both palms.
"Sigh, after using the Sword Heart Demon Seed this time, my cultivation level will probably drop to the eighth rank!"
Although Ye Chengfeng thought this way, he did not regret it.
If Li Chengqian can cultivate to the ninth rank, then his operation will only be a sure win.
Ye Chengfeng calmed his mind and focused on controlling his true energy, guiding it into Li Chengqian's heart meridian.
Having learned from his previous experience using this technique on Fan Xian, Ye Chengfeng was clearly more skilled this time.
At the same time, Ye Chengfeng also plans to use mental power to replace sword intent and sword momentum.
The drawbacks of condensing sword intent and sword momentum into a demonic seed are too great, as can be clearly seen in Fan Xian.
The demonic seed within Fan Xian has an excessively high absorption rate of true qi and blood, but an excessively low feedback rate.
Only Fan Xian's own diligence prevented him from being drained by the demonic seed.
The Crown Prince is different. He has been pampered since childhood and has never suffered. If the same demonic seed as Fan Xian were planted in him, Li Chengqian probably wouldn't live more than a month.
The demon seed was completed quickly, but to Ye Chengfeng's surprise, after using mental power instead of sword intent and sword momentum, the effect of casting the Demon Seed of Sword Heart on himself was not significant.
Although his cultivation level has weakened, it hasn't caused him to drop in realm; Ye Chengfeng is still at the ninth rank.
"Is it finished?"
"Yes, it's done. I'm even one step closer to cultivating the Demonic Sword Heart."
"I never imagined that you could actually use the martial arts concepts from wuxia novels to create such a powerful technique."
Fan Xian had the novel "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in mind, and Li Chengzhu had also read it.
The Dao Heart Demon Seed technique is incredibly powerful. It is one of the four great books in "The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and can be cultivated to the point of breaking through the void.
At this moment, Li Chengzhu's mindset changed.
"You're overestimating me. My Sword Heart Demon Seed is far inferior to the Dao Heart Demon Seed."
Faced with Li Chengzhu's praise, Ye Chengfeng gave a wry smile and explained.
"Ye Chengfeng, I don't want to be emperor anymore. When you shatter the void, could you take me with you?"
"Clam?"
"What kind of brain circuit is this? Breaking through the void? How come I didn't know I was that awesome?"
But Li Chengzhu shook his head and said, "It's not that I think too highly of you, but that you underestimate yourself."
"You've practiced swordsmanship since childhood, comprehending sword control techniques with an eighth-rank physique. Even when Emperor Qing destroyed your foundation, you created the Sword Heart Demon Seed to resolve the issue. Doesn't this prove that you are a martial arts prodigy unparalleled throughout history?"
"Haha, I'm almost embarrassed by your compliment."
Ye Chengfeng was so flattered by Li Chengzhu's praise that he became a little smug.
"I'm serious. Perhaps it's because I've read too many books in Fan Xian's mind, and I might understand him better than he understands himself."
"You may not understand, but once I learn about those technological products, I feel uneasy if I don't go and see them. My desire to become emperor also stems from my desire to develop technology."
"That's why I wanted to have the body of the Temple Messenger, but I never expected that the Temple Messenger would be a robot."
At this moment, Li Chengzhu actually opened up to Ye Chengfeng and spoke his mind.
Ye Chengfeng looked at Li Chengzhu with a strange expression, thinking to himself, "How much of what he said was true, and how much was false? Or was he truly revealing his true feelings?"
"Sigh, you're giving up the throne, are you going to let Fan Xian become emperor?"
Ye Chengfeng was calculating in his heart that it would be in his interest for Li Chengzhu and Fan Xian to become emperors.
He was confident that these two men, once they became emperors, would not cause him any trouble.
But others can't, or perhaps he can make this world develop according to the original trajectory.
Making the Third Prince emperor and having Fan Xian control the Qing Kingdom's court would achieve the same effect.
This raises another issue: the current plot is no longer similar to the original story.
Will things develop as they did in the original story?
Ye Chengfeng wasn't confident, let alone intervening to turn the tide of the story.
He would never do something so thankless and exhausting.
"That's natural. I think it's great that Fan Xian is the emperor. He's a liberal arts student and knows how to be an emperor. You could say he's the most suitable person in the world to be an emperor."
As he spoke, Li Chengzhu gave Ye Chengfeng a strange look, thinking to himself, "If this guy were emperor, he'd definitely be a tyrant!"
"What kind of look is that? You're not thinking of making a move on me, are you?!"
"No, I was thinking that I could use this body to help you optimize your cultivation technique. This robot's computing power is pretty good."
Seeing that Li Chengzhu's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Ye Chengfeng quickly changed the subject.
Although Ye Chengfeng had indeed thought about this question, he would not seek out Li Chengzhu. His original target was the supercomputer with artificial intelligence in the temple.
As for whether the artificial intelligence will force Ye Chengfeng to stay in the temple.
Ye Chengfeng didn't care at all; he must have already reached the level of a Grandmaster before he went there.
With the help of the supercomputer and the control panel, Ye Chengfeng was confident that he could surpass the Grandmaster level and reach an even higher realm.
These are all things to be discussed later. Ye Chengfeng wasn't sure whether the temple messenger would kill him, as he wasn't considered a person from the previous era.
In case the AI tries to kill him, Ye Chengfeng will need some means to protect himself.
"Alright, let's leave here first. Li Chengqian will wake up soon."
After glancing at the unconscious Li Chengqian, Ye Chengfeng was the first to leave the East Palace.
Watching Ye Chengfeng's retreating figure, Li Chengzhu did not immediately follow.
"He probably has some trump card I don't know about. What is it?"
Li Chengzhu could tell that although Ye Chengfeng didn't consider himself a martial arts genius, he didn't deny the fact that he had broken through the void.
That's interesting, but Fan Xian doesn't have any online novels or system novels in his memory.
Otherwise, Li Chengzhu would definitely have been able to deduce Ye Chengfeng's trump card.
Does Fan Xian know about the system text and the system itself?
The answer is yes.
However, Fan Xian didn't like reading these kinds of books, and Li Chengzhu regarded them as garbage memories when he was going through Fan Xian's memories. Therefore, he didn't read the relevant memories.
