I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 412 - 205: The Beginning of the Rule-Based Creepypasta (Part 2)
Acquiring that thing is tantamount to obtaining the Heirloom Seal of the Realm of the Nine-State Saint!
Presently.
They plan to exert their strength and uncover the truth of this Secret Realm, seeking hidden clues.
Because this is the Emperor’s Mausoleum of the Saint, chronicling the life and experiences of the Last Saint...
Just like Li Wanqi’s tomb, everyone’s mausoleum will reconstruct his hometown, childhood, and youthful city.
Why?
Because such tombs aid in the awakening of the tomb’s master.
When does one’s lifetime obsession often begin?
Almost always in childhood, gradually threading through one’s life.
Recreating one’s past hometown helps in awakening.
So in this tomb, tomb raiders can find the past of the tomb’s master, the youthful days...
Here, it surely records the memories of the Last Saint, the Imperial Palace from hundreds of thousands of years ago!
Now, it’s a strategy of intelligence, traversing this "history," witnessing his "past," uncovering his "secrets," exploiting the cognitive defects of the Ghosts to steal from him!
In the short term, there will be no outbreak of combat in the Capital City.
The reason is very simple.
The Dharma Aspect of the Saint roams, but this does not mean the real body in the Capital City is weak.
Everyone will go to attack the Dharma Aspect of the Saint, so there will be no more fighting here.
"Let’s go, to the Imperial Palace," Li Youzhu said. "It’s time for court, the Imperial Palace is the Core Mausoleum."
Everyone is infiltrating the Imperial Palace under various positions.
All around, one after another, Ministers, Guards, and even some Female Officials showed intent expressions.
"I’ve traversed dozens of Secret Realms, and with my rich experience, I’m sure I can avoid danger, summarize the rules, and thrive in it." Someone silently encouraged themselves, "Even if this is a new Secret Realm, and the entrance has no stele inscribed with [rules] summarized by predecessors."
Someone silently warned themselves, "One of the largest Secret Realms in human history is bound to be filled with lives. I must identify and pitfall some people to let them probe the rules and pave the way for me."
Someone thought, "We only have one chance. By assuming an identity and infiltrating the palace, if the Dharma Aspect dies, although the real body remains unharmed, there will be no more chances to enter."
Everyone only has one chance to die.
If they die, it will be difficult to enter this Secret Realm again with a legitimate identity.
They would betray the good intentions of the Jiu Shui Saint who threw them in early.
They carry a mission!
Someone, on the other hand, looked excited. "The safety of the Nine-State hangs in this Secret Realm. If I can steal the Core, I can win the world. No matter how strong he is, he’s still a Ghost with cognitive defects, which is his fatal weakness."
The masters of various Ancient Secret Realms, which of them were not of Heaven-reaching Cultivation?
Yet, many people still managed to steal their Treasures.
Because this has nothing to do with Cultivation, it’s a battle of wits.
They believe in their wisdom, all being the prodigies of the young generation, carrying the hope of humanity’s future!
The officials who infiltrated the Court went to court, while the Imperial Maids and maidservants who infiltrated the Harem entered the Harem to serve the consorts.
As a few Imperial Maids passed by the Imperial Garden, they suddenly heard loud cries.
The women’s hearts urgently raced.
"Crying! Related to children, I’ve heard this Saint was obsessed with having the Crown Prince when alive... could it be..."
"This is dire, the cries are likely a sign of something going insane..."
"Indeed! The living obsession of the Saint was children, it must have affected the entire Harem of that time, and the concubines in the Harem surely too, with children..."
Someone immediately felt something was off.
The cries likely trigger some ferocious Ghosts to go mad.
In life, some people would curse when hearing cries, feeling annoyed.
But after death, when they hear cries, this irritation and displeasure amplify, directly causing them to go insane and start killing.
Sure enough, one Consort in the Harem stormed out, her expression icy:
"You hear the prince crying, how are you doing your jobs? My prince is to become the Crown Prince and ascend the throne!"
Everyone was shocked.
Prince!
No, the Firewood Saint had no Crown Prince, it seems the children born soon died violently, becoming Ghost Infants.
The entire entombed Harem, with unknown numbers of Ghost Infants, Ghost Consorts...
The source of danger in the Imperial Palace wasn’t just the Saint himself.
Those consorts were also a massive source of danger.
This was a massive hidden information, the Harem was littered with prematurely dead Ghost Princes.
"Madam is right to chastise us, we’ll immediately soothe the prince," someone promptly spoke up.
Someone immediately thought.
The Harem full of children, Ghost Infants, is a massive danger zone.
But it’s also a means to explore the rules, hidden secrets deep within the Imperial Palace, learning about the secrets of the Last Saint in this palace from hundreds of thousands of years ago...
It seems the first rule is to soothe any crying infant that one encounters.
A few Imperial Maids noted this down secretly, banded together, and went to soothe the child.
Yet upon entering the palace, they were stunned upon seeing the swaddled infant, which turned out to be a wriggling mass of bloody flesh.
Many Imperial Maids quickly realized to start soothing the child. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Unfortunately, it was of no use.
The face of the consort grew colder, more twisted, as if something terrifying was about to break out from her skin.
"You! You! Useless, useless, useless!! It’s because of you useless people that the Emperor, and my prince..."
This was a sign of the ferocious Ghost about to go insane, losing reason.
The Imperial Maids became increasingly anxious, "This is bad, we can’t soothe it at all, something must have gone wrong..."
"The rule can’t be followed; let’s get out of here!"
They suddenly tossed the infant aside and scattered in all directions.
Sadly, how could the consorts in the Imperial Palace be ordinary mortals?
In life, they were mostly alliances of various forces and Great Sects, at the very least, Two-Phase Realm experts.
And the Empress in the Divine Palace was an expert renowned worldwide.
In just a few moments, as screams echoed continuously, the sounds of chewing arose in the palace.
The voice of the consort gradually returned to calmness:
"Baby, eat more... grow up quickly, you are to become the Crown Prince."
...
All the maidservants infiltrating the Imperial Palace, even the Ministers infiltrating the Court, were encountering various dangers.
They attempted to explore various rooms, starting with each consort and Female Official.
The largest time-limited Secret Realm of the Nine-State thus began its grand and majestic opening.
And within the Court, various Ministers were also facing their trials.
"To court,"
A loud, authoritative voice rang out.
...
The Secret Realm in the Capital City had begun, the strategies in full swing.
The Residence of Princess Xin’e had already moved over, fully settling in the Capital City, right next to the Imperial Palace.
The current Imperial Palace was filled with people assuming fake identities, each demonstrating their Divine Techniques, yet this had nothing to do with Princess Xin’e.
She was cultivating, quietly cultivating.
By the poolside.
"Sister Xin Yi?"
Xin’e was momentarily stunned upon hearing, "Sister came to see me recently, she even wore her favorite white dress that day."
A group of Hairpin Ladies gathering intelligence were taken aback.
In other words, the first King of Xinyi had already entered the Emperor’s Tomb under the supervision of the Jiu Shui Saint?
Had even come here to see her sister?
...
No matter the case, the Capital City was already in turmoil.
But the Capital City was one thing, Xinyi Continent was also experiencing another major event.
A piece of news began to spread throughout the world, the Saint’s southern tour, establishing a Palace in the Continent City of Xinyi, temporarily residing.
This was a double battlefield.
The real body of the Saint attended court in the Capital City.
While the Dharma Aspect was on tour, arriving in Xinyi State City a day later.
"Isn’t he afraid of death?" Someone thought to themselves. "Even if he is an unprecedented Great Calamity, it’s certain he will be besieged and..."
"So bold." Others conceived ideas of attacking a second time.
