In a similar lone wooden hut cut off from the world like the Duanmu Family’s one…
There was also such a place in the giant palace.
No one dared to go there as anyone who dared was killed.
Everyone had many stories about who lived here but the royal family had never explained it.
In truth, very few people knew about who lived here. Apart from the emperor after Taizhong, the other people didn’t have the right to know about it.
After the current Emperor Tianqi found out who it was, he was shocked and didn’t dare to believe it.
The Emperor who founded Feather Transformation God Dynasty, Taizhong!
30,000 years… he was actually still alive and doing quite well.
Emperor Tianqi worshipped Emperor Taizhong since he was young and grew up listening to his legends.
With his fists, Taizhong fought in the wilderness, forcefully establishing a huge legacy for himself.
This story wiped out all credit of the Duanmu Family.
In truth, if it hadn’t been for Taizhong’s wife plotting against old ancestor Duanmu, who knew who the throne would have gone to?
This was also why old ancestor Duanmu and Taizhong wanted to outlast one another.
When Tainqi met Taizhong for the first time, the respect and emotions in his heart collapsed.
Was the person he saw the magnificent and strategic Taizhong?
What he saw was a madman!!!!!
An old man on the verge of insanity… Although he was really strong, his mind was starting to go wild.
The only stubborn thought he had was to kill the Duanmu Family.
This stubbornness was also the reason why the royal family had always targeted the Duanmu Family.
Since Taizhong had gone mad, Tianqi locked this place up. No one was allowed to enter and whoever did would die.
….
Heaven Heart walked into the royal family’s secret land.
It was extremely simple for him to head into the palace with his cultivation as those guards weren’t able to notice him at all.
In the old palace, there were spiderwebs everywhere. There was wild grass growing and it was a total mess.
The founder of the Feather Transformation God Dynasty, the invincible Emperor Taizhong, lived in such an environment.
Was it a sad or happy thing? Had this emperor, the expert who clashed with the Duanmu Family old ancestor his whole life, actually gone mad?
It just sounded so mysterious.
Creak!
Heaven Heart pushed the door open and walked in. He saw a room in the center that was really clean and it looked like it had been specially cleaned up.
There was a plant in the courtyard; it was a tree with golden leaves. The leaves looked like palms that were fluttering in the wind and they gave off a fragrance.
Eternal Life Tree!
This was the Eternal Life Tree that Taizhong exchanged for when he entered the Bank of the Universe 10,000 years ago.
The Eternal Life Tree, as its name suggested, allowed one to live forever under it.
Taizhong was delighted and he finally thought of a way to deal with old ancestor Duanmu.
He could last longer than him and then personally chop off the old ancestor’s head.
His initial thoughts were great. The old ancestor Duanmu would definitely die within 10,000 years and then he would return the Eternal Life Tree along with other things. As for the Feather Transformation God Dynasty’s dragon vein, there was no need for him to return that.
But unfortunately, although the plan itself was quite good, some unexpected things still happened in the end.
Old Ancestor Duanmu entered the Bank of the Universe and exchanged his life for the Soul Raising Tree.
Now, your plan won’t work!
Bad news struck and Taizhong paid the price for his eternal life.
There was no free lunch in the world!
The Eternal Life Tree wasn’t a kind tree.
Spending a long time near Eternal Life Tree would mess up one’s thoughts and one would end up living in an illusion.
With how decisive Taizhong was, he would definitely not end up falling so deep in without the Eternal Life Tree.
But because of the tree, Taizhong fell into an abyss and he started to behave weirdly.
After 10,000 years, it was normal for him to be crazy, and having a clear head was a rare occurence.
It had been 10 years since he was sober.
Heaven Heart came this time.
It was a rare occurence for Taizhong to be sober.
So, he cleared up the room, washed up, and changed into new clothes.
But his hair was in a mess as he didn’t know how to tie it up.
“Empress, tie my hair up in a bun!” Taizhong shouted.
But no one replied to him.
Heaven Heart looked on silently and didn’t say a single word.
“Empress, stop sleeping. There is a guest.” Taizhong noticed Heaven Heart but still continued to shout for his Empress.
Unfortunately, no one replied to him.
“I apologize. My Empress is still sleeping.” Taizhong apologized to Heaven Heart and bowed.
Heaven Heart looked into the room and there was a woman who was laying on the bed. Her body was cold and she was wearing a beautiful, Empress’ dress.
“My queen is asleep, so don’t disturb her.” Taizhong pointed at Heaven Heart’s nose and shouted.
“She is dead!” Heaven Heart said truthfully.
“Nonsense. She is just asleep. She is still breathing and her heart is still beating.” Taizhong scolded Heaven Heart.
“That is because your True Qi is keeping her alive.” Heaven Heart shook her head and said.
In Heaven Heart’s eyes, Taizhong was an empty bottle with no substance within.
He transmitted all of his energy to the Empress to help maintain her heartbeat.
The Empress had actually been dead a long time ago!
She wasn’t as strong as Taizhong or old ancestor Duanmu and couldn’t live for as long. She also entered the Bank of the Universe to exchange for her looks, so it was expected for her to die.
What no one expected was that Taizhong would actually transmit all of his cultivation into her body so as to keep her last bit of breath alive.
“Nonsense, you bald monk, you are talking nonsense!!!!” Taizhong raged.
“My Empress is not dead. She is just sleeping, so she will definitely wake up!” Taizhong insisted.
Heaven Heart sighed and walked in, “Why do you lie to yourself?”
In the room, a beautiful woman was laying on the bed. She looked like an 18-year-old teen, a truly flawless beauty.
But when Heaven Heart looked at her body, he was shocked.
Under that beautiful face, there was just dried up skin and decomposing flesh and blood. She was a dry corpse with only a bit of energy burning within her heart.
It was like there was a candle burning in the endless darkness.
The darkness burned bright but there was a bit of energy supporting the candle so that it could continue to burn.
Just like that, Taizhong’s wife was still ‘alive’.
The Bank of the Universe contract didn’t treat the Empress as a dead person which was why Heaven Heart brought two contracts over.
Everything was just a rough definition.
“I understand why your Empress entered the Bank of the Universe and only wanted beauty.” Heaven Heart exclaimed.
Girls cared most about their appearance. Taizhong loved her so much and was willing to give up all his cultivation to maintain her last bit of life.
So, it was understandable why the Empress wanted to keep her beauty for Taizhong.
Love was never a one-way street.
