Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, that's enough."
If he hadn't interrupted the spell, Cheng Miaozhen would have continued to send yang energy into her, already transferring ten years of lifespan.
He felt it was enough; no matter how great her filial piety, ten years of lifespan was already quite a lot. Cheng Miaozhen gritted her teeth and said, "I want my mother to live as long as I do."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Although our secret scripture is miraculous, it is, after all, a heaven-defying act. Who knows what kind of backlash there will be? Going against heaven, know when to stop."
He wasn't lamenting the loss of Cheng Miaozhen's lifespan; after all, it wasn't his own.
He was mobilizing death energy, which didn't harm his own lifespan. Cheng Miaozhen wanted to give her mother more lifespan, but he couldn't control that. What he was worried about was the potential for future troubles.
He couldn't see any backlash now, but he was very vigilant and wanted to avoid any future troubles. Therefore, he couldn't change too much at once.
Giving Consort Shu ten years of lifespan had reached the limit; he couldn't give her more. Cheng Miaozhen shook her head: "Ten years..."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "After ten years, if you still want to help Consort Shu extend her life, you can do so again, and it will be more stable."
Cheng Miaozhen nodded helplessly.
Things had come to this point, and she could only accept it.
She couldn't force him to recast the spell now; it was impossible to do so under these circumstances.
With life force unceasing, death energy cannot be completely expelled, so there's no way to inject one's own yang energy. One person's body cannot contain two kinds of yang energy at the same time. If you want to extend your life, it's only possible after death. This is also the limitation of this technique.
Chu Zhiyuan had a clear understanding of the limitations of this technique and didn't take it to heart. Being able to do this was already a heaven-defying technique.
He felt that even without other rewards, merely learning the Yin-Yang Calamity Transference Secret Scripture was the greatest reward.
This was likely Cheng Miaozhen's true inheritance, brought out to save Consort Shu's life.
He had never encountered such a secret technique before; it was truly a secret among secrets. The two quietly watched the sleeping Consort Shu, whose breathing was now even and long, completely revived.
But it was impossible for her to wake up immediately. Her body, in a state of hibernation, would need a period of nurturing before she could fully awaken.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Consort Shu before him, still feeling incredulous.
He suppressed his surging thoughts and turned to look at Cheng Miaozhen: "Has Your Highness thought clearly about where Consort Shu will go?"
He now understood Cheng Miaozhen and Zhu Caifu's styles.
Neither of them were shrewd or capable people; their actions weren't thorough enough, and they were both impulsive.
They acted decisively but didn't consider the consequences much, not thinking so much. "Mother will stay by my side," Cheng Miaozhen said.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then will Your Highness stay in Da Jing, or return to Da Zhen?"
"I can only stay here," Cheng Miaozhen said.
Zhu Caifu appeared beside them at this moment: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with going back."
Chu Zhiyuan pondered: "It's best if the Consort returns to the palace. How can life outside be as comfortable as in the palace?" Consort Shu also had martial arts skills, but she had been in the palace for decades, and suddenly coming out would definitely be uncomfortable.
Zhu Caifu quickly said, "Second Sister doesn't want to go back to the palace."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then what about the Seventeenth Prince? Will it be alright if no one takes care of him in the palace?"
"Second Sister has already given up on him," Zhu Caifu snorted, "Little Seventeen can stay at Wentian Cliff; there's no need to get involved in other things."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "That's good. From now on, Consort Shu will no longer appear?"
Zhu Caifu snorted, "Second Sister will change her identity; there will be no more Consort Shu." Chu Zhiyuan looked at them, pondering in silence.
"If it can't be hidden, then it can't be hidden," Zhu Caifu said nonchalantly.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "If others know that Consort Shu has been resurrected, know that Your Highness has the ability to revive the dead..."
He shook his head and said, "At that time, the trouble will be great."
"What trouble is there? Who would dare to force Miaozhen?"
"What about the Emperor?" Chu Zhiyuan said blandly, "What if the Emperor issues an edict?"
""
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Even if you don't save others, if the Emperor wants you to extend his life, can you refuse?"
" "
"What about the Empress Dowager?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "What about the Empress?"
"The Empress? Forget about her!" Zhu Caifu snorted.
"If you don't care about the Empress, the Empress Dowager will still care, right?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Helping them extend their lives will consume your lifespan. If you don't help, then it's unfilial."
Zhu Caifu frowned: "Speaking of which, it's indeed quite troublesome."
"Besides the Emperor and Empress, there's also the Supreme Emperor, right? And other brothers and sisters. What will you do in the future?"
" .. "
Chu Zhiyuan said, "This technique is miraculous, but it must never be revealed. This is a heavenly secret. Once a heavenly secret is leaked, there will be endless trouble."
".. That's true." Zhu Caifu quickly said, "Miaozhen, it must never be said."
Cheng Miaozhen nodded lightly: "Only the three of us know this technique."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Consort Shu has a special disease that causes her to inexplicably feign death."
Cheng Miaozhen and Zhu Caifu were stunned.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Originally, we thought she was dead, but she actually came back to life. This disease is too strange. When it's not happening, there's no warning at all."
Cheng Miaozhen and Zhu Caifu reacted.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Saying that the Consort feigned death and was resurrected, making it known throughout the world, people will be very surprised and won't think that there's a secret technique that can revive the dead... The more you try to cover it up, the more curious people will be and the more they will want to investigate."
This is the human heart and human nature.
The more you want to hide something, the more obvious you have to make it, hiding the shadow in the sunlight is the easiest way to ignore it.
Cheng Miaozhen shook her head lightly: "But Mother doesn't like the palace; she finds it oppressive and uncomfortable and wants to leave the palace."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then you must let everyone know that the Consort has come back to life, that it was a feigned death."
"... What if there's another imperial edict?"
"Then disobey the edict."
"... That's true." Zhu Caifu clapped her hands and laughed, "So what if we disobey the edict? Are they going to drag Second Sister into the palace?"
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Cheng Miaozhen again.
Cheng Miaozhen nodded lightly: "Don't worry, I won't reveal this technique."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "What exactly is the inheritance that Your Highness cultivates?"
Having a common secret made their relationship much closer, and he could ask this question now.
Cheng Miaozhen said, "The Yin-Yang Sect."
"Then the cultivation method you practice is...?"
"The Yin-Yang Return to Emptiness Art."
"Return to Emptiness..."
He had been able to clearly see through her body when he came into contact with Cheng Miaozhen just now.
A Grandmaster of the Fourth Heaven realm.
At her age, she could be called a genius among geniuses. If he hadn't had special opportunities, he really wouldn't be as good as her. He originally thought it was the Two Elements Return to Origin Sect, but it turned out to be the Yin-Yang Sect.
He hadn't heard of this sect, but since it could reverse innate destiny, it was definitely not a small sect.
Zhu Caifu said, "This Yin-Yang Sect is an ancient sect, and it's a hidden sect that doesn't pass down its teachings to the world. Anyway, I haven't found it in the records of Da Zhen."
Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded: "That Your Highness was able to obtain such an inheritance is truly fortunate."
Cheng Miaozhen smiled lightly: "I accidentally found two jade pendants at the bottom of a pool in a mountain valley. One was the Yin-Yang Return to Emptiness Art, and the other was this Yin-Yang Calamity Transference Secret Scripture."
