Chapter 546: Chapter 546: The Crown Prince Might Be Tormented to Death by the Emperor_1

Wang Linchi asked Pei Jiang for the ownership of Mount Tai.

Pei Jiang naturally gave it to Wang Linchi without hesitation. It was just Mount Tai; if he could achieve immortality, giving a mere mountain to Wang Linchi was a small price to pay.

He then had Wang Linchi stay, constantly seeking guidance on the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique. Wang Linchi did not hold back any secrets, explaining all the key points to Pei Jiang.

For Pei Jiang, this was like welcome rain after a long drought. Many things he had not understood before suddenly became clear.

Ultimately, Wang Linchi ended up residing in the imperial palace. To persuade Wang Linchi to stay, Pei Jiang even offered to enfeoff him as the State Preceptor, but Wang Linchi declined. To Wang Linchi, such a title was utterly useless.

During this period, Pei Jiang’s progress in the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique was naturally rapid. In just five short years, his Silent Achievement had already reached the seventh revolution.

During this time, Wang Linchi devoured the entire civilization of Great Heng. The civilization within his body began to evolve, its current progress roughly equivalent to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period. Wang Linchi did not interfere further.

This civilization was merely his vanguard for exploration, not the one he truly needed.

He was adhering to his established plan of "Refining Illusion into Reality." The true civilization was to be based on memory bodies derived from his Soul Resemblance ability, not on some entirely new species evolved from scratch.

What he needed was a tool that he could control and that could assist him in becoming stronger.

What? Is a Creator who creates beings incapable of surpassing themself a failure? That’s ridiculous! Wang Linchi wanted tools, not creations.

Furthermore, if a creation were to surpass its Creator and form a civilization, would it deify the Creator or directly deny and eliminate the Creator to prevent future troubles?

Wang Linchi believed the latter was far more probable.

So why should he create a being that would want to kill him? More importantly, this being would have grown by devouring his own flesh and blood.

That would be purely a case of having brain problems.

Therefore, his "Refining Illusion into Reality" civilization plan had to be based on those memory bodies that would never betray him.

The civilization’s data has begun to interface. Originally intangible and formless rules of post-celestial civilization, such as ’fortune,’ ’fame,’ and ’profit,’ are gradually becoming usable by me.

The birth of a civilization is naturally accompanied by the emergence of these things. What he originally lacked was gradually being supplemented, and based on this, Wang Linchi could also better control these elements.

The simplest examples were his Reincarnation and Born Extraordinary abilities. The former made Wang Linchi’s recharging methods increasingly powerful, while the latter provided an ever-growing selection of identities. Even a protagonist was within his range of choices, provided he killed the protagonist first to successfully take their place.

Secondly, his disguise ability became increasingly flawless. Henceforth, he wouldn’t need to worry about his identity being discovered. Upon arriving in any world, as long as he selected an identity, he wouldn’t have to worry about any loopholes.

However, this data was still incomplete. Wang Linchi needed to further cultivate the civilization.

If Great Xuan could exist for a thousand years, he was confident he could complete the "Refining Illusion into Reality" civilization plan and enter the second stage of the History of Time.

As for the civilization of the Great Heng Dynasty, that thing could only be used for experiments.

Wang Linchi had considered doing them together, but the quantity was insufficient, and there was nothing he could do. The predetermined number was just that much.

Compared to completing the experiment, he was more worried that the Great Xuan Dynasty wouldn’t survive that long.

"Mr. Wang, Kui’er has come to pay respects to Teacher again today," a chubby little boy, his face full of reluctance, said as he came to greet Wang Linchi.

This child was named Pei Kui, Pei Jiang’s eldest son, and also the current Crown Prince.

His father was the Emperor, his mother the Empress, and he was the eldest son by the principal wife. Barring any accidents, he would be the future second Xuan Emperor.

However, this was merely the perception of outsiders. Pei Jiang was not very concerned about his offspring because he believed he could achieve immortality. An additional son was merely another threat to his power. Therefore, he would suppress Pei Kui from time to time, and Pei Kui’s temperament was also quite poor.

However, the Empress was no simple character either. Since the Emperor disliked her son, it didn’t matter. As long as she had her own administrative team and could win over the old ministers, the Emperor’s approval was not particularly important.

And Wang Linchi, such a conspicuous figure, was naturally a target for the Empress to curry favor with. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Pei Kui was just a child; how could he understand these things? Moreover, because both his parents were strong-willed, he seemed to have been rather poorly raised.

"Your Highness is too polite. How could I bear Your Highness’s formal respects?" Wang Linchi said unhurriedly, also rising to help him up.

"I wonder what brings the Crown Prince to see me today?"

Wang Linchi asked, as was his custom. Pei Jiang was naturally displeased that the Empress had arranged for Pei Kui to interact with Wang Linchi, yet he did not prevent it, seemingly to test Wang Linchi.

However, Wang Linchi scoffed at this. Who do you think you are, to dare test me?

"Today, this Prince..." Pei Kui recited the words the Empress had given him. The entire process was somewhat halting, and he even misremembered some parts.

Wang Linchi did not correct him, still maintaining a smiling expression, "Thank you for Your Highness’s concern. It’s just that I haven’t had much free time recently, as I still need to refine Charms for His Majesty, so I cannot get away."

The other party’s words were an invitation for Wang Linchi to go out and amuse himself, but Wang Linchi declined as usual.

Why go out for no reason? Better to avoid stirring up unnecessary trouble. Staying put quietly and letting Pei Jiang’s progress accelerate would allow me to handle things better.

The World Energy Level had dropped once again. Although not as severely as before, it had still fallen to level 12. If it were to drop further, the world would be in peril.

Therefore, there was an urgent need for Pei Jiang, this human tool for the System of Qi, to serve as a lifeline. Never mind the civilization and national fate of Great Xuan; even the Tai Mountain Seal that Wang Linchi was nurturing within Mount Tai required sufficient time. Thus, he had no thoughts of engaging in power struggles or supporting any prince.

Primarily, he had already seen Pei Kui’s aptitude. Compared to Pei Jiang, who was once a Hidden Dragon, the disparity was simply too vast.

Furthermore, Wang Linchi did not believe this Pei Kui possessed the qualities of a sovereign. The saying "one can see a person’s future character by age three" was not false.

"Alright, then this Prince will wait..." Pei Kui went on at length, the gist of which was still the desire to win Wang Linchi over. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t go this time; there would be a next time.

Having completed his "daily task," Pei Kui skipped away. Watching this, Wang Linchi couldn’t help but shake his head. Unlikely to achieve anything great.

Unless Pei Kui underwent a personality change akin to an Epiphany during his subsequent upbringing, he would likely remain this way for his entire life.

It was likely a combination of being doted on and some of Pei Jiang’s underhanded maneuvers that had led to such an odd personality.

After Pei Kui left, Wang Linchi continued to slack off, incidentally studying the civilization within his body.

"Mr. Wang, being so indolent now, when will you achieve the Golden Pill Nine Transforms?" Half an hour later, Pei Jiang arrived at the Quiet Room punctually. Over the years, Wang Linchi had also duped him into believing he himself was at the Golden Core Third Stage.

"There’s no hurry. It would be better if Your Majesty considered when to begin Active Achievement. Then you wouldn’t need to meditate daily and could also move your body and bones a bit." Wang Linchi knew this was Pei Jiang expressing dissatisfaction with his contact with Pei Kui.

He was worried Wang Linchi might impart the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique to Pei Kui. If that were truly the case, it would be a terrible thing for Pei Jiang.

"Soon. It’s all thanks to Mr. Wang’s guidance," Pei Jiang replied, then continued, "This Quiet Room is perhaps a bit small, isn’t it? I have arranged a separate villa for Mr. Wang outside the palace, where the scenery is exceptionally fine."

This meant he wanted to move Wang Linchi out of the palace to sever his contact with Pei Kui.

Wang Linchi had no objection and nodded. "Then I thank Your Majesty for the reward. It’s just that I was born very lazy. If Your Majesty summons me in the future and I happen not to be at the villa, Your Majesty will then have to find someone else more capable."

His words implied: Do you really think I am your subject? Once you’ve sent me away, if you need anything later, you’ll have to come to my door. I won’t indulge you. Don’t think you can just summon me to the palace with a word.

A shadow crossed Pei Jiang’s face.

He was also aware of Wang Linchi’s temperament but agreed nonetheless.

Compared to the risk of the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique being leaked, he would rather trouble himself to go outside the palace.

Besides, this action of his was more like an indirect house arrest. How could someone under house arrest leave the place of confinement every few days? What if he ran away?

What annoyed Pei Jiang was simply Wang Linchi’s attitude. He was, after all, the Emperor of Great Xuan. You, relying on your possession of strange arts, show respect only superficially, not from the heart!

People change, especially when their circumstances change.
