Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood-Chapter 1345 - 660: Coup, Coveting the Throne?

Inside the Zhao Royal Mansion, study room.

King Zhao is seated at the chief position in silence.

Luo Yao, and a group of King Zhao’s confidants, are seated separately around the room.

King Zhao’s expression is solemn as he slowly speaks, "Everyone, the Zhao dynasty now faces an unprecedented crisis, with external forces invading and territories falling, leaving the people homeless."

"As part of the Zhao dynasty, our Zhao Family must take on the responsibility to defend our homeland against external forces."

Luo Yao nods, determination gleaming in his eyes, "King Zhao, I am willing to lead the warriors of the Zhao Family into battle against the invaders, to defend our homeland."

King Zhao hears this and a hint of admiration flashes in his eyes, and he continues, "Mr. Luo, I know well of your courage and wit."

"However, I hope you understand, this time the enemy is unlike any before, armed with powerful weapons and tactics, we cannot underestimate them."

Luo Yao nods in understanding, he says in a deep voice, "King Zhao, I understand your point. I will proceed with caution, and will also actively seek strategies to defeat the enemy with minimal cost."

In the days that follow, Luo Yao becomes busy.

He begins by personally selecting a group of elite warriors and subjects them to rigorous training.

He not only teaches them martial arts and tactics but also focuses on fostering their discipline and teamwork.

Meanwhile, Luo Yao also starts studying the enemy’s weapons and tactics.

Through various channels, he gathers intelligence to understand the enemy’s strength and weaknesses.

In his in-depth research, Luo Yao discovers that this enemy force doesn’t originate from any known country surrounding the Zhao dynasty, but from a distant and mysterious empire - the Abyss Empire.

Facing such an enemy, Luo Yao knows that relying solely on traditional martial arts and tactics will not suffice.

Thus, he begins searching for a force capable of contending against the Abyss Empire.

After extensive inquiry, Luo Yao learns that deep within the Zhao dynasty lies an ancient ruin - Shenlong Valley.

Legend has it that Shenlong Valley hides a mysterious power that connects with the bloodline of the Zhao dynasty, capable of awakening the slumbering Dragon Soul to gain tremendous power.

Luo Yao is moved, deciding to venture to Shenlong Valley to seek this mysterious power.

Shenlong Valley lies deep within the Zhao dynasty, its terrain treacherous and environment harsh.

Luo Yao leads a squad of elite warriors, embarking on the journey to Shenlong Valley.

After days of arduous journey, they finally reach the entrance of Shenlong Valley.

The entrance has a towering stele engraved with ancient writings and mysterious patterns.

Luo Yao carefully observes the writings and patterns on the stele, attempting to find clues for entering Shenlong Valley.

After some research, he finds that the writings and patterns on the stele seem to be an ancient curse, and only by reciting the correct curse can the pathway to Shenlong Valley be opened.

Luo Yao closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and begins chanting the curse softly.

As the curse is chanted, the air around seems to solidify.

Suddenly, a strong vibration occurs; the stele emits dazzling light as a massive portal slowly opens, revealing the entrance to Shenlong Valley.

Luo Yao and the cultivators see this, their spirits lift, and they quickly stride into the portal, entering Shenlong Valley.

Inside Shenlong Valley, the scenery is peculiar, imbued with a mysterious aura.

A clear stream flows through the valley, with strange plants growing on its banks emitting a faint fragrance.

Luo Yao and his team carefully proceed along the stream, remaining vigilant of their surroundings, wary of disturbing any dangerous presence.

After days of exploration, they finally reach the deepest part of Shenlong Valley.

A colossal dragon-shaped statue stands there, its eyes sparkling with mysterious light.

Luo Yao approaches the statue, feeling a powerful aura emanating from it.

He knows this is the very source of power he seeks.

He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, connecting his consciousness with the "Dragon Soul Sword."

The "Dragon Soul Sword" shines brilliantly, resonating with the statue’s eyes.

Suddenly, a strong vibration occurs, and the statue begins to slowly crack open, a golden light bursting forth from the fissure.

Luo Yao and the warriors cover their eyes, unable to gaze directly at the golden light.

When the light dissipates, they witness a breathtaking scene.

A gigantic golden dragon flies out of the statue, soaring in the air, letting out an earth-shaking dragon roar.

Luo Yao feels a powerful force emanating from the golden dragon; he knows he has successfully awakened the slumbering Dragon Soul.

He swings the "Dragon Soul Sword," pointing towards the golden dragon in the sky.

The golden dragon lets out a deafening roar before turning into a golden light, merging with the "Dragon Soul Sword."

Luo Yao feels an unprecedented force flowing from the "Dragon Soul Sword." He knows he has obtained the power to contend with the Abyss Empire.

He grips the "Dragon Soul Sword" tightly, determination shining in his eyes.

...

"King Zhao, I have found the power we need," Luo Yao stands in the study room, his voice brimming with confidence and resolve.

King Zhao rises from his seat, a long-missed smile appearing on his face, "Mr. Luo, you’ve truly accomplished it! This will be a turning point for the Zhao Family and the entire Zhao dynasty."

Following this, Luo Yao does not immediately leave. He begins discussing with King Zhao and other core members of the Zhao Family on how to use this newly acquired power to fend off the invasion of external forces.
