LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 70
Chapter 70 (Must-See PS) What I Want is Pure Unrest in Cangzhou
“Ah? You’re really not doing it anymore? I’ve prepared all the spirit stones! If you say you’re not swapping, then fine, but I feel so ripped off!”
“Exactly! Royal brother, let’s do one last go, at least to appease our royal brother who’s got all the spirit stones ready, right?”
Those who hesitated and missed the chance are now feeling like they’ve made a huge mistake.
“I’ll tell you this: Father is in there. If you still want to leave a good impression, you better scram! I definitely won’t help you anymore!”
“Xiaoxuan, let’s go to my royal manor for a few days. There’s no way we’re going to Luofeng Tower today—let’s go another day.”
“Alright!”
With pockets filled to the brim, Qin Bei made his exit.
All that remained was a confused crowd of princes and princesses.
Those who bought are patting themselves on the back for acting quickly, while those who didn’t are now regretting their inaction, feeling their insides twist with remorse.
…….
Inside the Demon Suppression Tower.
At this moment, two figures were present on the ninth floor.
One was the Artifact Spirit of the Demon Suppression Tower.
Although it was only in a spiritual state, it looked strikingly similar to a corporeal being.
And standing before the Artifact Spirit was none other than Emperor Xia.
“Look, this is the footage of that brat’s breakthrough in the tower. I must say, he made it look way easier than when you tackled the tower,” the Artifact Spirit remarked nonchalantly.
“He not only possesses the Holy Body, but if I’m not mistaken, his eyes also have something special about them—this special trait even surpasses celestial magical powers; it’s the extremely cold gaze.”
“The royal family really has a prodigy this time.”
Emperor Xia paid little heed to the recordings of the first four floors.
He had long since recognized that Qin Bei was special.
What had his attention now was the footage of Qin Bei breaking through the fifth floor.
It was just too unique.
“No wonder he acts without a care for consequence; I thought he was just arrogant. Now it seems it’s pure confidence—he doesn’t worry at all about the aftermath.”
Emperor Xia muttered to himself.
“Which celestial magic did he choose?”
Emperor Xia inquired.
“The Extinction Gun Technique. Perhaps he’s planning to practice spear techniques, which would fit well with his bold and aggressive fighting style,” the Artifact Spirit replied.
“Mm.”
Emperor Xia nodded in agreement.
He wasn’t surprised by Qin Bei’s choice.
With Qin Bei’s personality, if you expected him to learn swordsmanship like Qin Xuan, that would just be nonsense.
Swordsmanship is meant for dashing young gentlemen.
Not for this kind of chaos incarnate.
“What do you think of him?” Emperor Xia asked.
The Artifact Spirit had existed for quite a long time; despite his own status as Emperor Xia, he should still address the Artifact Spirit respectfully.
Thus, Emperor Xia valued the Artifact Spirit’s opinions greatly.
“He has excellent talent and solid roots; it’s only a matter of time before he outshines you.”
“But if Great Xia wishes to maintain stability, this kid shouldn’t wield too much power—otherwise, Great Xia will descend into chaos.”
The Artifact Spirit spoke with serious gravity.
“I understand.”
Emperor Xia nodded.
“What if what I want is exactly unrest?”
Then he cast a sidelong glance at the Artifact Spirit.
“After all these years, I’ve finally found such a suitable prince.”
Emperor Xia revealed a knowing smile.
The Artifact Spirit looked back at Emperor Xia.
No further words were exchanged.

PS: Answering some questions about plot holes.
1. Concerning the limitation that blood essence can only elevate one level—it’s because the enhancement targets strength, not cultivation.
2. Many people claim that the cultivation of the Sage Realm is lackluster, saying this and that isn’t acceptable. Is the Sage Realm strong? The answer is a resounding yes! I’m applying the realms from the Prehistoric Era, omitting those of celestial immortals. Honestly, there are just too many fairy realms—no need to detail them all.
3. The setting of Cangzhou Continent is vast, encompassing numerous dynasties and places like the Mixed Domain. A casual cultivator of the Sage Realm can do as he pleases due to his strength and lack of restraint. But a powerful Sage can’t; you’re not the only Sage in existence. Mosquitoes aren’t deadly, but they sure are a nuisance!
4. As for age—yes, there are inconsistencies. The protagonist: 20 years old, the Empress: unknown, Mu Zhaoxue: 18 years old. Qin Xuan is listed as 10. The mistakes originated in the initial chapters, and I’m in the process of correcting them.
When it comes to the number of princes, even if there was just one prince born annually in the harem, with Emperor Xia ruling for over a thousand years, only having a dozen or so princes isn’t exactly reasonable, is it?
5. Qin Chen’s cultivation is at the Second Level of Nascent Soul; it was incorrectly noted as the ninth level.
6. The name of Ji Zhuyue was also an error; her current name is Ji Zhuyue—she wasn’t called this when she was Empress.
7. The attention Princess Ling’er receives is just foreshadowing (rest assured, this foreshadowing isn’t about not being the Emperor’s biological daughter and turning into a concubine in a twisted turn of events—it’s not that sinister), she isn’t a spoiled princess; she’s simply a naïve and sweet girl, akin to the character played by Li Qin in Princess Agents.
8. The protagonist’s cultivation level being relatively low? Isn’t that normal? How long has he actually been here? He can’t just blast off like a rocket, especially with an unstable foundation.
Moreover, a rapid increase in cultivation speed is just around the corner—once this money is spent, there will be Krypton Gold points to directly exchange for cultivation upgrades.
However, his combat power has always been unsurpassed within his realm; nobody can hold a candle to him.
