Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 189 Qin Wu's Breakthrough: A Land Immortal

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Wu has been on the summit of Shenfeng Mountain for five years without moving an inch.

For the past five years, he has been contemplating the essence of the wind from the mountaintop, allowing himself to merge with it.

Now, five years later, Qin Wu has finally fully grasped the essence of wind.

Then, the essence of wind transformed into a barrier, surrounding Qin Wu and forming a domain.

A domain entirely composed of wind, within which Qin Wu is the master of the wind, controlling all the power of the wind.

Meanwhile, the power within Qin Wu's body began to transform.

Internal force is converted into spiritual force.

Qin Wu could clearly sense that this power was incomparable to internal force.

However, the conversion speed and efficiency of spiritual energy are extremely low.

It took Qin Wu a whole year to complete the conversion of his internal energy, and his enormous internal energy was ultimately converted into no more than ten strands of spiritual energy.

However, don't underestimate these ten strands of spiritual energy; the power they can unleash far exceeds that of a Grandmaster.

Even a Grandmaster-level expert is nothing more than an ant in his presence.

He finally understood what it meant to be as different as heaven and earth, even by a single step.

He could kill a Grandmaster-level expert with a wave of his hand if he wanted to.

He finally understood why this realm was called "Immortal" and why it was known as a terrestrial immortal.

Such methods are indeed like those of immortals in the eyes of mortals.

At that very moment, Qin Wu's body also began to slowly float up.

And dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

A quarter of an hour later.

As the dark clouds gathered, a bolt of lightning struck.

The lightning struck Qin Wu directly, instantly obliterating all of his robes, and revealing numerous bolts of lightning crackling across his body.

These lightning bolts were constantly damaging Qin Wu's body, and Qin Wu was also rapidly using his spiritual power to repair his body.

Then the second lightning bolt struck, hitting Qin Wu again, leaving his body charred and covered in wounds.

However, Qin Wu remained floating in the air.

The third lightning bolt struck, and this time Qin Wu was directly knocked down and crashed to the ground.

Three bolts of lightning struck, and the dark clouds in the sky dissipated.

After a moment, Qin Wu got up from the ground.

At this moment, all the hair on his body had disappeared due to the lightning tribulation, and his body was charred black in patches.

"Damn it, what the hell? You get struck by lightning to break through a cultivation level?"

After recovering, Qin Wu surprisingly uttered a curse.

This was something he hadn't expected at all; breaking through to the terrestrial immortal realm would involve a tribulation of lightning.

The key point is that he could only rely on his physical body to withstand the lightning tribulation. He originally wanted to fight back, but he was suppressed and had no chance to retaliate.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would never have stood there and been struck by lightning.

This made Qin Wu feel somewhat aggrieved.

However, there was nothing that could be done.

Just then, a figure rushed over.

"Your Majesty?"

The visitor made a tentative inquiry.

There was nothing he could do; the person in front of him was completely naked and charred black, so he couldn't be sure if it was Qin Wu.

Especially since Qin Wu had just undergone a tribulation, his aura was concealed by the tribulation. Only after Qin Wu had completely digested the power of the tribulation within his body would his original aura be revealed.

Therefore, the person who came was hesitant to confirm.

"Liufeng, go and prepare robes and toiletries for me. I will need them later."

Qin Wu spoke calmly.

After saying that, he continued to refine the power of the lightning tribulation within his body.

It took Qin Wu three whole hours to refine all the power of the lightning tribulation, and his physical body was greatly enhanced.

After Qin Wu completed all this, he activated his internal power, and the charred skin on his body fell off one by one.

Then her body revealed skin as soft and tender as a baby's.

Liu Feng, who had been waiting nearby, immediately handed over the robe, which Qin Wu put on.

"Let's go."

Qin Wu walked towards Shenfeng Manor.

After returning, Qin Wu washed up and went to his study.

"Liufeng, I have been in seclusion for six years. Has anything significant happened during these six years?"

Qin Wu asked casually.

For the past six years, he has paid no attention to anything outside. Now that he has broken through the seclusion, he must first understand the situation outside.

"Your Highness, shortly after you went into seclusion, His Majesty issued a decree to cease hostilities. Subsequently, negotiations with Western Zhou began and lasted for two whole years. In the end, Western Zhou agreed that Eastern Qin would not return the Western Zhou territory it occupied and paid compensation of one billion taels of silver."

"And the Western Zhou Dynasty paid tribute to our Eastern Qin every year."

"Nothing else has happened much, but recently the clans have started making moves again."

Liu Feng gave Qin Wu a brief report on the situation over the past six years.

Qin Wu didn't pay much attention to it after hearing it; in his opinion, these were all trivial matters.

However, the Emperor of Eastern Qin did not take over Western Zhou in one fell swoop, but instead chose to cease hostilities and negotiate peace.

Given the character of the Emperor of Eastern Qin, he shouldn't have made such a decision.

"Do you know why His Majesty made this decision?"

Qin Wu inquired.

"According to our investigation, it was the Immortal Sect that prompted His Majesty to make this decision."

After Liu Feng finished speaking, he handed a piece of intelligence to Qin Wu.

Qin Wu took it and looked through it.

"Immortal Sect, interesting, very interesting. I never expected it to have such a secret. I just wonder how many Earth Immortal Realm experts they have."

Qin Wu said with great interest.

After his breakthrough, he wanted to find a strong opponent of the same level to have a good fight.

This will allow him to progress more quickly.

Only in this way can he reach even greater heights.

"Your Highness, with the Immortal Sect suppressing us, it will be very difficult for us to achieve our goal. They will not allow our Eastern Qin to unify the Central Continent."

Liu Feng said with some concern.

“Suppression? Just because they could suppress us in the past and they can suppress us now doesn’t mean they can suppress us in the future.”

"Now that I have broken through to the Land Immortal Realm, my strength will increase dramatically in the near future. Even if I am not their match, I will not be afraid of them."

"At that time, they will be unable to stop the advance of Dong Qin."

Qin Wu said confidently.

After transforming his wind-based superpowers into his own essence and integrating them into himself, Qin Wu's understanding of wind reached a terrifying level.

He could sense that he still had a lot of room for improvement.

He can also increase his strength again in a very short time.

So he wasn't afraid at all; he just hoped the Immortal Sect wouldn't let him down.

"By the way, how are the things I instructed you to do before I went into seclusion progressing?"

Qin Wu inquired.

"Your Highness, with the help of Miss Qian Ning, our steel warships have been completed and equipped with cannons. Furthermore, Marquis Zhenxi has trained a navy of 20 men. We have already clashed with the Japanese in the Western Sea multiple times and crushed many of their naval forces."

Liu Feng reported.

Similarly, he found a stack of battle reports on Qin Wu's desk and handed them to Qin Wu.

After reviewing the results, Qin Wu smiled.

With these warships and cannons, conquering Japan would be a piece of cake for him.

"Good, very good. Zhong Qianning has not disappointed me. Go ask her what she wants. As long as I can do it, I will reward her."

"By the way, isn't her father a county baron? Go and ask His Majesty to grant him the title of viscount."

Qin Wu said with a smile.

Qin Wu believed that such a record deserved a reward.
