Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

The Empress’s bedroom of the Great Yan.

"Hmm?!"

The Empress, who was calming Little Ling’Er to sleep, suddenly lifted her gaze and looked towards the sky.

The Divine Bell hung high.

It appeared unchanged, with Dao Rhyme still cascading down, protecting the entire Imperial Capital.

However, the Empress got out of bed and even walked out of the bedroom, looking at the Ancient Divine Bell in the sky with an extremely solemn expression.

It’s precisely because of the existence of this Divine Bell that the Human Race could thrive in this region; if anything happened to the Bell...

That would truly shake the foundation of the Great Yan Immortal Country!

Just moments ago, the Empress sensed a slight tremor from the Ancient Divine Bell, as if a bell’s chime was emitted.

Although there seemed to be nothing unusual now, the Empress didn’t think it was an illusion just now.

Her perception instantly spread out, covering the entire Imperial Capital; everything was within the perception range of this Great Yan Empress.

Still, nothing was found.

The Empress frowned lightly, initially wanting to ask the Empress Dowager, but the latter was sound asleep with Little Ling’Er, clearly unaware of anything.

That night, the Empress stayed awake all night.

...

Morning.

Qin Yu felt the pure Spiritual Power surging into his body, increasingly convinced that coming to the Imperial Capital was the right decision.

For him and his many delicate wives, cultivating in such a rich Spiritual Qi environment allows their cultivation speed to be more than twice as fast.

The only thing that made Qin Yu apprehensive was... facing the Empress.

Although the Empress did not deliberately exhibit imperial majesty!

But, she naturally carried a strong sense of oppression, and the principle of ’serving near a tiger’ had long been ingrained in Qin Yu’s heart.

He didn’t even dare to look upon the royal countenance.

You should know, the Empress Dowager has murmured "tyrant" numerous times in front of him.

A tyrant!

How terrifying.

Still, the Empress Dowager and Princess are easy-going. Of course, because of their status, Qin Yu was somewhat reserved, always maintaining due respect.

"His Majesty summons you to the Imperial Study."

Yan Yu’s voice suddenly came through.

"To meet the Empress again?"

Qin Yu was distressed.

Although unwilling, he dared not disobey, and he vaguely guessed the reason for the Empress’s summons.

Most likely it’s about Little Ling’Er, right?

"Your Majesty, Qin Yu is here."

Under Yan Yu’s guidance, the two of them quickly arrived at the Imperial Study.

"Come in."

The Empress’s voice came from inside.

"Your Majesty."

Qin Yu and the other entered the Imperial Study, maintaining due etiquette, not slacking even though his status had increased by one layer as a Tributor.

"Sit."

The Empress nodded slightly.

This guy, really led Yan Yu astray.

As a Flame Guard, he showed signs of fatigue; what did he do last night? Isn’t it obvious?!

However, from another perspective, it shows that Qin Yu’s constitution is indeed very special.

Fortunately, the Empress, who knew some inside information, didn’t hold a grudge and even secretly wanted to see if some changes would occur with Yan Yu as well.

You must know, Yan Yu was a Top Grade Dao Bone!

If it could be enhanced...

Speaking of which, yesterday, the Empress had already detected unusual fluctuations in Yan Yu.

Really don’t know how Qin Yu did it.

After the Empress granted a seat, Qin Yu sat there respectfully, his gaze always lowered, not daring to show any deviation.

About this.

The Empress was quite satisfied.

It must be said, Qin Yu did not become arrogant because of his talents, which made her very pleased.

The Empress had initially considered that Qin Yu might become proud because of Ling’Er, and at the very least, could put forward some conditions.

But now, it seems that was unnecessary.

At least so far, Qin Yu has not asked for any resources from her.

"Yan Yu, you sit as well."

Seeing Yan Yu habitually standing aside, the Empress pointed to the seat beside Qin Yu.

"Yes!"

Yan Yu executed thoroughly.

On the side, Qin Yu was clear in his heart, understanding the Empress’s intent.

Last night, Yan Yu also mentioned to him that there was no need to report everything to the Empress, indicating that this Empress didn’t want Yan Yu to become an eye by her side.

Speaking of which.

Upon seeing the Empress Dowager and Princess, in fact, Qin Yu didn’t mind having an eye for the Empress around him.

He had no other intentions.

Just thought there shouldn’t be anything hidden from the Empress.

Moreover, as long as he was in the Lifebound Space, he was absolutely safe and did not worry about being reduced to a tool.

"Did you rest well last night?"

The Empress casually asked, but immediately felt that something was off.

If for other ministers, this seemingly caring question would make the other party grateful.

But...

This Qin Yu has so many Dao Companions, what he’s doing at night can be guessed with a toe.

Simply wasting talent; seeing his cultivation speed is still normal, otherwise, the Empress would want to reprimand him.

Qin Yu exchanged a few polite words, then waited for the next words from the Empress.

He didn’t think the Empress summoned him just to ask how he slept.

Sure enough, the Empress cut straight to the point in the next sentence, asking: "Tributor Qin, did you notice anything unusual last night?"

"Unusual?"

Qin Yu pondered briefly, then shook his head, not showing the slightest hint.

"Is that so?"

The Great Yan Empress lightly tapped her fingers on the memos on the desk before her and slowly stood up.

The Ancient Divine Bell protects the countless lives in the Imperial Capital, and even in the ancient records, there’s never been any anomaly.

But coincidentally, on Qin Yu’s first night in the Imperial Capital, such a situation occurred.

Of course, the Empress was just a bit suspicious at this point.

After all, too many incredible things happened with Qin Yu, and he was also the only variable in the Imperial Capital yesterday.

But, Qin Yu’s demeanor was natural, as if it truly had nothing to do with him.

Yet.

The Empress wouldn’t be so easily deceived.

Qin Yu kept his head slightly lowered, his posture extremely humble, with a look of utmost respect, but then, in his lowered vision, a Dragon Robe suddenly appeared, its fluttering steps revealing a peerlessly elegant calf silhouette beneath the elaborate robe, like the most enchanting and alluring scenery in the dawn.

Qin Yu couldn’t help but feel a tinge of shock; the design of this Dragon Robe was actually so...

Avant-garde?!

Something’s not right, this must be the Empress’s test for him, he must remain steady!

Qin Yu immediately retracted his gaze.

He couldn’t be blamed; he didn’t look on purpose.

If he were to lose decorum before the Empress, offending the Dragon Majesty, the consequences... would be unimaginable.

This Empress, with a mere step, could he in his Golden Core Realm withstand?!

It’s feared... he’d ascend on the spot.

Qin Yu was not aware that across the entire Great Yan Immortal Country, probably no one dared to take another look, let alone entertain any desecrating thoughts.
