Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Su Ming's Musings—Will Emperor Xue Ye Die with Regret?
Thanks to the system, Bo Saixi now has a way to cultivate her spirit power, but enhancing her spiritual strength is another matter entirely since she doesn't possess a method for cultivating mental power.
Her current high level of spiritual power is merely a byproduct of her formidable soul power rank, allowing her spiritual abilities to naturally grow stronger. And yet, she wishes for a spiritual cultivation method—nothing extravagant, just something.
Bo Saixi sighed. She knew that without Su Ming's generosity, her wish for a mental cultivation technique would likely go unfulfilled.
Diary Entry: "With everything that's happened, Qian Renxue and I have become friends, at least for now. She even asked if I had any suggestions regarding her undercover work."
Diary Entry: "To be honest, I don't have much to add. As long as she doesn't behave as recklessly as in the original story, she should be fine. The reason Tang San could thwart her plans in the original was due to extensive support."
Diary Entry: "But this time, Tang San's trajectory has shifted significantly due to my influence. Without connections to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan or Dugu Bo, and after being dismissed from Lanba Academy, he has no ties to Liu Erlong either."
Diary Entry: "Now, instead of assisting Qian Renxue, Tang San's closest connection is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, given his attendance at Thunderclap Academy. So, the greatest threat to Qian Renxue is not Tang San, but the fourth prince, Xue Beng."
Diary Entry: "Though Xue Beng poses no immediate threat to Qian Renxue, he's like a venomous snake lying in wait. Should he find an opening, he won't hesitate to strike. After his brothers' deaths, Xue Xing reminded him of their poisoning, prompting Xue Beng to start playing the part of a depraved prince."
Diary Entry: "Qian Renxue's reasoning was understandable: only she and Xue Beng remained. If he also died, Emperor Xue Ye would be outraged and launch an investigation that could expose her."
Diary Entry: "But leaving Xue Beng alive is still risky, especially when Qian Renxue's methods rely solely on poison, which practically invites suspicion. She could be more discreet, maybe even enlist Ghost Douluo's help for a quiet assassination. Or better yet, let Xue Beng die a scandalous death in bed with a woman and a high-ranking official present!"
Diary Entry: "If Xue Beng were dead, Emperor Xue Ye wouldn't have a suitable successor. Any remaining princes are either incompetent or too young. The closest candidate would be his ambitious younger brother, Prince Xue Xing."
Diary Entry: "Xue Beng's survival is largely thanks to Xue Xing's counsel and scheming, guiding him through every step to avoid detection. Had Xue Beng not met Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, his 'waste prince' act might have been more convincing. Still, it's hard to believe he wasn't at least somewhat genuine in his misdeeds, like terrorizing commoners, frequenting brothels, and colluding with nobles."
Diary Entry: "In the original, Emperor Xue Ye even named Tang San as the Duke of Blue Tyrant after Qian Renxue's plan was foiled. The title granted Tang San authority second only to the emperor, even surpassing Ning Fengzhi."
Diary Entry: "To show sincerity, Emperor Xue Ye gifted Tang San the empire's prized artifact, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. This artifact was pivotal for Tang San, ultimately facilitating his acceptance as Sea God and granting him the Sea God's Nine Trials on Sea God Island."
Diary Entry: "If only Emperor Xue Ye had known of the shroud's potential! Lacking recognition of the Sea God's will within it, he likely saw it as a mere treasure, and thus bestowed it upon Tang San. Would he die peacefully knowing his gift helped Tang San achieve divine power? Ha!"
Upon reading Su Ming's mention of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Bo Saixi's spirit stirred with intrigue.
