Chapter 859 -858: Plotting for Power and Usurping the Throne
“`
The Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator secretly protecting Emperor Xia thought that it was quite good to have the Emperor team up with three Semi-Immortals; it was an absolute guarantee of safety, and there was nothing for him to worry about anymore.
After all, his responsibility was to protect Emperor Xia, and he didn’t care about anything else.
Below, the three newly appointed generals each petitioned for permission to go to war, to prove their value.
“I possess the Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit Prototype, which can temporarily enhance me to the level of an Immortal’s Body, allowing me to hold my own against a Jiang Family Immortal for a time or two.” In terms of combat power, Ao Ling was the strongest. She could be attacked by others before fighting with a Jiang Family Immortal, thereby reaching the level of an Immortal’s Body.
Jiang Lianyi enjoyed helping others and liked helping Ao Ling the most.
“I have the Survival Of The Fittest Dao Fruit Prototype, which allows me to control others, turning everyone in the Imperial Palace into one of us, breaking through from the inside and launching a surprise attack on the Jiang Family!”
Little Tiger Jin Caiwei was not to be outdone: “I have the Plane Dao Fruit Prototype, which can flatten objects into a plane. If it solidifies into a complete Dao Fruit, I could turn the entire world into a plane!”
The three generals looked to the Prime Minister, eager to see what the Prime Minister, who had been highly regarded by Fairy Eternity, was capable of.
“…I can commit suicide.”

Ao Ling: “?”
Emperor Xia felt that his Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation was definitely of no use in a rebellion, seeming only capable of creating an opportunity for the Great Soy Dynasty by abdicating the throne through suicide.
“Alright, alright, I’ve already said that we need to use peaceful methods. Look at you all, talking about using Dao Fruit Prototypes and suicide.”
“Then how do we peacefully overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty?” Ao Ling wondered, as she was already prepared to fight with a Jiang Family Immortal.
If it were just Fairy Eternity alone, it would be difficult to think of any effective method, but fortunately, Fairy Eternity was never alone; her Spiritual Space had the old man Lu Yang devising strategies.
“As the saying goes, to seize power and usurp the throne, to overthrow Great Xia, one must take these two steps: seizing power and then usurpation. I believe we should usurp first and then think about seizing power.”
“What does usurpation mean? Naturally, it means to take over the throne itself!”
“The importance of the throne goes without saying — several princes are breaking their heads over it, all for that very throne, aren’t they?”
“If we seize the throne, then naturally we will have overthrown half of Great Xia.”
Fairy Eternity said earnestly, “Therefore, I think we should go to the Imperial Palace and steal that chair!”
“Great idea!” Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi clapped in unison enthusiastically and vigorously.
In the Spiritual Space, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to his calculations, he had managed to reduce the death penalty to a fixed-term imprisonment.
The best outcome would be for Fairy Eternity to be captured and to cool her heels in prison for a year.
The treacherous Lu Yang harbored treasonous thoughts and deserved death a thousand times over.
“Xia Tian, what do you think of this idea?” asked Fairy Eternity.
“Good idea.”
This time Emperor Xia found his role.
“I’m very familiar with the Imperial Palace; I’ll plan the route.”
…
In the still of the night, five figures stealthily infiltrated the Imperial Palace.
“`
Although the Crown Prince, being at the Body Integration Realm, did not need to sleep or rest, he was not a mule; he couldn’t work from dawn to dusk and then dusk to dawn again.
Moreover, Jiang Qun was currently impersonating his imperial father, and his father’s sickly appearance did not fit the persona of someone who worked continuously.
It was precisely by using this method that he had escaped from the harem.
“Everyone be careful not to use your Spiritual Sense, so as not to startle the snake by hitting the grass,” Fairy Eternity reminded everyone.
According to Fairy Eternity’s investigation over the past few days, the Immortals of the Jiang Family resided in the most forbidden area deep within the Imperial Palace and did not concern themselves with the various happenings in the palace. However, if cultivators of Xiao Ling’s level were to use Spiritual Sense for reconnaissance, it would easily draw the attention of the Jiang Family’s Immortals.
“Understood,” Emperor Xia whispered.
Emperor Xia was the last person who should be using Spiritual Sense, as there were Imperial Guards with higher cultivation levels than his. If he were to use Spiritual Sense, the Imperial Guards would detect him immediately.
The five of them were literally “shadows” as Jin Caiwei used the Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit Prototype to turn the group into a two-dimensional state, moving along the ground.
This was mainly to consider the safety of Emperor Xia and Lu Yang, both of whom had low cultivation levels and would be easily discovered if they infiltrated the palace.
“Did you strip away the concept of ‘height,’ leaving only ‘length’ and ‘width’?” Ao Ling asked, glancing at Jin Caiwei with admiration.
She had assumed Jin Caiwei’s Dao Fruit Prototype was like her father’s, a Soul Dao Fruit Prototype, but she was surprised to discover it was an entirely new type of Dao Fruit Prototype. This creativity was not to be underestimated.
Even she would be caught off guard if she encountered Jin Caiwei’s Dao Fruit Prototype for the first time.
“You have some discernment,” Jin Caiwei snorted coldly, brimming with pride. She had expended a great deal of effort to condense this type of Dao Fruit Prototype.
Being in a two-dimensional state wasn’t the same as being invisible; it just made them harder to detect.
If they were discovered, it would not be a problem, as Jiang Lianyi could use the Survival Of The Fittest Dao Fruit Prototype to control those who discovered them, making them overlook their presence.
In his spiritual space, Lu Yang felt, for stealing a chair, was it really necessary to use Dao Fruit Prototypes one after another?
Previously, the second Imperial Teacher had only used one type of Dao Fruit Prototype to infiltrate the Seek Dao Sect.
With the help of two Dao Fruit Prototypes, the group of five with six souls smoothly arrived at their destination—the Daming Hall.
The Daming Hall was silent and pitch-dark, but this did not matter. Even Lu Yang and Emperor Xia, who had the lowest cultivation level and fighting capacity respectively, could discern the layout of the Daming Hall with the faint moonlight; needless to say, for the three ancient Semi-Immortals.
It was not the first time Lu Yang and Fairy Eternity had been to the Daming Hall. The Righteous Path Leadership Conference had been held here, and they previously expressed their gratitude to the Sect Leaders of the other Four Great Immortal Sects here as well.
In front of the Daming Hall was the Dragon Tail Path, a mix of stairs and ramps. The surface was tiled with flowered bricks, the eaves were densely structured with interlocking bracket sets, the indoor and outdoor crossbeams were decorated with color paintings, the upper parts of doors and windows were set into rhombic patterns, and each detail carried a deeper meaning.
But the most eye-catching was the throne at the end of the Daming Hall, admired by thousands and symbolizing the sovereignty of the Great Xia.
“We’ve finally arrived,” Fairy Eternity whispered in excitement, striding eagerly to sit on the chair.
Jiang Lianyi’s eyes lit up, and she immediately took out the Four Treasures of the Study, swiftly capturing the scene in a drawing.
In the monochrome painting, Lu Yang sat high upon the imperial throne, hands resting on the armrests, his eyes as piercing as a dragon’s, exuding an intimidating presence, the very image of a lord over all under heaven. Above his head hung a plaque with the words “Upright and Bright,” along with a high-hanging Qin mirror.
If one looked closely, they could even see the signatory’s name in the corner of the plaque—Meng Junzi.
“Fairy, how does it feel to sit on the imperial throne?” Lu Yang asked.
Fairy Eternity swayed a little in the seat, not quite satisfied, “Not so great, Zhu Tian’s chairs are more comfortable.”
No matter how prestigious the chair symbolizing the imperial power was, it was still made by craftsmen with only a bit of cultivation; it could not compare to the Emperor’s Chair personally made by Zhu Tian.
