The Way of the Heavens

At the north gate of the Tang Dynasty Imperial City, as usual, there were still a lot of traffic and people coming and going. Every moment, countless merchants and horse teams were pouring into the imperial city along the official road and the canal, and countless people left here sadly.

On the wide official road, a carriage pulled by a red-scaled horse quickly approached the north gate. The pedestrians on the official road saw the handsome red-scaled horse in front of the carriage and hid.

This is the Tang Dynasty Imperial City. Those who can use a red-scaled horse to pull a carriage are naturally extremely noble. Ordinary third- and fourth-rank officials may not have a red-scaled horse at home.

"Whoa", the carriage gradually approached the city gate, and the coachman gently pulled the reins in his hand to control the red-scaled horse to slow down.

The groom turned his head and approached the carriage curtain, whispering respectfully: "Your Highness, we have returned to the imperial city."

In the carriage that was wide enough to accommodate dozens of people, Ji Chen sat cross-legged on the silk couch, and the two women Jianwu and Jianling were waiting beside him. He took a cup of freshly brewed spiritual tea in his hand and took a sip.

"Since we are back in the imperial city, we can go directly to the palace without returning to the palace.".

The open and secret struggles between him and the eldest and third brothers were also tacitly approved by his father. With his father's means, he should have known that he personally went out and the eldest and third brothers sent their men to Luoyun Youlin.

As a son, Ji Chen naturally knew what he needed to do.

"Yes." The groom responded respectfully, controlling the red scale horse carriage to follow the flow of people through the north city entrance and drive on the main avenue.

With the vastness of the Tang Dynasty Imperial City, if you rely on a carriage to go to the palace, it will take a day and a night, so the groom drove the red scale horse carriage to a monster shop exclusively owned by the royal family.

The groom took out the token from his waist and told the people in the Monster House to prepare the royal mount - the four-winged griffin, and some of them hurried to inform the officials in charge of the area to welcome the arrival of the fifth prince.

But when the officials of the Monster House led their men to rush to welcome the emperor, Ji Chen and his party had already sat on the four-winged griffin and flew directly to the palace.

The person in charge with the highest position looked at the figure that turned into a black dot in the distance, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

A deputy official beside him asked him, "Sir, is the one who just left the fifth prince who is said to be the most likely to become the crown prince?"

The former nodded slightly, "It is the fifth prince, but it is not only the fifth prince who may become the crown prince. The first prince, the third prince, etc. are not inferior to the fifth prince at all. They are all possible."

Another official heard their conversation and interrupted, "The fifth prince has the highest martial arts talent and cultivation among all the princes. He is also an inner disciple of the top sect Xinghe Sect. It can be said that many officials in the court support him to become the crown prince."

"But the first prince, the third prince, etc. There are many supporters of the prince. The eldest prince has the support of Yanyun Zhenbei Wang. He is kind and kind, and his reputation for benevolence and righteousness is even more resounding throughout the Tang Dynasty. The geniuses of countless forces are on good terms with him, and many sects and forces in the Tang Dynasty support the eldest prince.

The third prince is born to the queen and is the eldest son. He has the support of the Feng family, a first-class force in the Xuanyu, and His Majesty also loves him very much. He has a good chance of becoming the crown prince. "

...

Listening to the discussion of the officials, the person in charge of the Monster House had a serious face and scolded, "Okay, the matter of the crown prince is not for us to discuss, all of you go away." After that, he waved his sleeves and returned to the mansion alone.

The officials looked at each other, and then they could only disperse.

In the Tang Dynasty Palace, the fifth prince Ji Chen asked everyone to leave, asked the eunuch in charge, and then came to the imperial study alone, where the King of Tang was.

At this time, in addition to the Emperor Tang, who was wearing a golden dragon robe and exuding a sense of majesty without anger, practicing calligraphy in the imperial study, there were two figures standing respectfully on the side, namely the eldest prince Ji Xuan and the third prince Ji Wuya.

"Your son greets you, father." Ji Chen glanced at his two brothers, and then saluted to the Emperor Tang in front of him.

The Emperor Tang put down the brush in his hand, raised his head and looked at Ji Chen in front of him, "Well, Chen'er, you are back, how was your trip?"

Then Ji Chen told about the things that happened in the nameless valley in Luoyun Youlin, the unknown spiritual fruit, the mysterious fog, the crazy monster and the spiritual vine that can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Of course, he did not mention the rectangular stone slab.

Ji Chen touched the storage ring, and the six spiritual fruits and two seeds of the source-devouring vine appeared in his hand, "Father, this is what your son got in the nameless valley."

The reason why he took out the treasure he got was because he knew that the Emperor Tang must know what he got. After all, there are so many people in the nameless valley, and he only needs to find out.

In this case, he might as well present these things himself to leave a good impression in the heart of Emperor Tang. Besides, except for the seed of the Devouring Source Vine, which might interest Emperor Tang, Emperor Tang did not even look at the six spiritual fruits.

After all, spiritual fruits only improve the cultivation of the Spiritual Origin Realm, and there are hundreds of powerful people in the Divine Sea Realm in the Tang Dynasty alone. How could Emperor Tang snatch the spiritual fruits from his son?

"Is this the seed of the spiritual vine that can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? What is it called?" Emperor Tang waved his hand casually, and the seed of the Devouring Source Vine instantly came to his hand, and he looked at the seed in his hand with interest.

Just such a fist-sized seed, the rich breath of life exuded is comparable to that of a warrior in the Spiritual Origin Realm, and there is a sense of Taoism on it.

Ji Chen: "In reply to your father, I have never seen any record of this spiritual vine in any book or ancient bamboo slips, but I named it the Heavenly Spirit Vine."

"Tian Ling Teng...", Emperor Tang muttered a few times, "Not a bad name, then let's call it Tian Ling Teng from now on."

After that, Emperor Tang talked with Ji Chen and his three brothers for several hours until the sun set in the west, and Ji Chen and his three brothers just came out of the imperial study.

Watching the three sons leave, Emperor Tang's eyes were deep, and he said faintly: "Having three outstanding princes, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for the Tang Dynasty."

These three sons are better than each other, and each of them can take the position of crown prince, but Emperor Tang has never established a crown prince, just to let them fight each other and select the most suitable person.

Now it seems that the fifth prince Ji Chen has the strongest means and is more suitable for the position of crown prince.

Emperor Tang shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about it, and got up to go to the restricted area inside the palace.

The palace is extremely vast, covering an area of ​​​​hundreds of miles, and there is a small mountain range inside. This is forbidden by the Tang Dynasty royal family. It is usually heavily guarded, and even a small flying bird cannot enter.

Emperor Tang entered the small mountain range and gradually approached the central area. The strong man hiding in the dark saw that it was him and stopped showing up.

Finally, Emperor Tang stopped and stood beside a small lake. He looked around and took out the seeds of the Devouring Source Vine, no, the Heavenly Spirit Vine.

"I hope you won't let me down."

Emperor Tang waved his hand, and the seeds instantly sank into a piece of spiritual soil. Then, several spiritual stones emitting spiritual fluctuations flew out of his storage ring and were all buried next to the spiritual soil.

In less than half an hour, the spiritual soil trembled slightly, and a piece of emerald green sprout broke out of the soil. At this time, a weak aura covering a range of several meters appeared from the sprout, and the surrounding spiritual energy continued to flow into its body, turning into capital for its growth!
