Starting With Chaos Physique-Chapter 20 - The Dragon Vein Is Exhausted, What’s the Use of Emperor’s Body

Chapter 20 The Dragon Vein Is Exhausted, What’s the Use of Emperor’s Body

As the members of the Gu family congratulated Gu Changsheng on his breakthrough in cultivation, a sudden sound of something tearing through the air came from the distant sky. Following this, a streak of light descended, revealing a figure.

This person was tall, clad in golden armor, with divine light radiating from him, giving him an extraordinary and majestic appearance. A unique sword-and-blade pattern adorned his chest. He was none other than a member of the Gu family’s patrol team.

The patrol team was responsible for monitoring the area surrounding the Gu family, slaying any intruders who dared to come near.

“Greetings, Divine Son,” the visitor said first, bowing respectfully toward Gu Changsheng, before continuing, “The woman outside the mountain gate has been kneeling for three days and nights. I believe she will soon collapse from exhaustion and faint. I came to inform the Divine Son.”

A woman kneeling for three days and nights outside the mountain gate?

Gu Changsheng was unaware of such an occurrence.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do you know who this woman is?”

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and a slender figure appeared in his mind’s eye. His gaze narrowed. It was highly likely to be the Ninth Princess of the Jingyang Empire, Chu Yaoyue.

After being rejected by him, it turned out that she hadn’t left but had been kneeling there the entire time.

But what is she thinking? Is she begging for something?

Gu Changsheng couldn’t quite grasp the woman’s logic.

“All right, I understand,” he said, waving his hand, signaling for the man to leave.

The others, seeing his gesture, wisely dispersed. They dared not intervene in matters related to the Divine Son.

Outside the Gu family’s mountain gate, Chu Yaoyue was dressed in a purple gown. Her beautiful face bore a calm expression, and she knelt quietly, though her slightly pale complexion betrayed that she was in poor condition.

Occasionally, a streak of light would pass by, and passersby would point and gossip from a distance, showing expressions of shock, confusion, and mockery.

Some of the Gu family’s members noticed her as well. Upon hearing from the gatekeeper that she was connected to the Divine Son, their expressions immediately changed, and they quickly distanced themselves.

“Princess, you’ve been kneeling for three days and nights, but he still hasn’t shown himself. Should we go back now?” one of the guards following Chu Yaoyue asked with a sad expression, his face filled with deep helplessness and indignation. However, they dared not voice any resentment.

She was the most outstanding young lady of the Jingyang Empire, the Ninth Princess adored by countless young talents. Yet, here she was, kneeling outside the mountain gate for three days and nights without even seeing the Divine Son.

This was the harsh reality of the world: in the face of beings vastly more powerful than them, they truly seemed no different from ants.

Chu Yaoyue’s complexion was very pale, and she couldn’t help but waver in her thoughts.

Did I make a mistake with my actions?

But I have no other choice. If I don’t do this, the Jingyang Empire will be doomed.

Clutching onto this faint hope, Chu Yaoyue shook her head, ignoring the pleas of her guards, and continued to kneel.

Her body trembled slightly, and her legs, already numb and without feeling, showed just how much she was enduring.

“Did you want to see me? Well, I’m here. I wonder what you wish to say?” a calm voice suddenly came from ahead.

Chu Yaoyue looked up, stunned. A young man in white, looking as handsome as before, stood in front of her. She had not even sensed his presence until now.

Compared to when they first met, his aura had grown even more profound and vast, impossible to gauge.

“Greetings, Divine Son,” Chu Yaoyue said with a mix of surprise and joy. She attempted to stand, but her legs had already gone numb and she couldn’t get up.

Gu Changsheng frowned slightly, realizing that it was due to the three days and nights of kneeling, and that she hadn’t used any of her spiritual power.

Her attitude, however, seemed sincere.

He didn’t speak further, as it wasn’t him who had forced her to kneel.

“Speak, what is it? I’ll give you three breaths’ time,” Gu Changsheng said casually, with no hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Chu Yaoyue, already overjoyed by his appearance, dared not ask for more. She quickly spoke, “Yaoyue would like to apologize to the Divine Son for the disrespectful act three days ago.”

Gu Changsheng remained expressionless. “There’s no need for apologies. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

He hadn’t even fully understood what she considered disrespectful.

But that didn’t matter.

Chu Yaoyue sighed in relief at his indifferent response and continued, “Yaoyue understands that I displeased the Divine Son that day. After much thought, I feel deep regret. I ask the Divine Son to give me another chance.”

Gu Changsheng’s expression softened slightly. “So that’s what it’s about. But I already made myself clear back then. You’re not as good as them.”

Chu Yaoyue’s face turned pale, and she refused to accept it. “Could the Divine Son please tell me the specific reason?”

Even now, she didn’t understand why she wasn’t as good as Su Xiaoxuan and Tuoba Siyu.

Gu Changsheng looked at her before speaking faintly, “You possess the Emperor’s body, with the Nine-Five Supreme aura, and you’ve cultivated the Royal Dragon Extremes Sutra. At a young age, you already have the power to break through the Ninth Transformation of the Earth Cracking Realm. However, the royal family’s dragon vein is almost exhausted, and the future is already ruined.”

“With that, how can you compare to others?”

In just a few short sentences, Gu Changsheng had seen through everything about Chu Yaoyue, and her face turned even paler, drained of all color.

The Royal Dragon Extremes Sutra was intricately linked to the Jingyang Empire’s dragon vein, and if the dragon vein were to break, all her years of cultivation would go to waste, leaving her like a rootless weed.

That was why Chu Yaoyue was willing to sacrifice her pride to preserve the Jingyang Empire.

Unfortunately, Gu Changsheng had already seen through it all.

“Divine Son, if you can help Jingyang overcome this crisis, no matter what conditions you set, we will agree. You will be the greatest benefactor to the people of Jingyang,” Chu Yaoyue said, desperate. She had no other choice but to say this.

She knew that a mere Jingyang Empire was insignificant to the Gu family.

Gu Changsheng certainly wouldn’t care.
