754 Boundary-Breaking Talisman
Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed the gleaming golden elixir.
He took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale all the essence of heaven and earth contained in the golden elixir into his lungs.
As the golden pill slowly slid down his throat, the eldest prince felt a strange power instantly fill his entire body, as if countless electric currents were coursing through his body. Every bone, meridian, and internal organ was activated and reshaped at this moment.
My body seemed to be drawn by this force, entering a mysterious and wondrous realm.
Under the influence of this force, the five meridians of the eldest prince, which had been abolished by the scholar Sun, began to miraculously regrow. The originally severed meridians, like withered trees in spring, quickly radiated new vitality.
It felt as if a warm current was flowing through my body, constantly nourishing those newly formed meridians.
Change never stops, time keeps flowing!
The Crown Prince, completely absorbed in the experience, seemed to have undergone a rebirth, radiating new vitality from the inside out.
The eldest prince, now with all five meridians restored and seemingly more resilient, slowly awoke, his entire body appearing as if he had undergone a phoenix-like rebirth.
His eyes flashed like lightning, a life lived in the face of death.
He clenched his fist tightly, and that fist seemed to contain endless power, as if it could shake the heavens and earth and turn the tide.
Having been deposed and returned, the First Prince now seemed to have come back from hell, exuding an indescribable calmness and domineering aura, as if even the air trembled under his presence.
The power slowly returned to his body, as if he were being reborn. The dragon energy within him was gone, and it seemed that he was about to start cultivating his power anew!
But at this moment, the eldest prince was overjoyed!
His eyes were fixed on the direction where his father had disappeared. At this moment, his heart was completely calm and peaceful, and a sense of enlightenment dawned on him!
He whispered softly, filled with longing, "Father, Father! Your son misses you!"
Though the voice was soft, it seemed to transcend time and space, allowing him to see his father, whose whereabouts were unknown, from afar.
At this moment, the eldest prince stared intently at the dim array atop the treasure vault, seemingly having exhausted all its energy. It appeared that the essence of the spirit stones within had been shattered into powder after his father's punch.
But in his eyes, there was no blame or resentment, only longing!
His eyes were like torches, shining with a wisdom that saw through the ways of the world, as if he had experienced the cycle of life and death and attained enlightenment.
'No wonder the Red King is known for his domineering and utterly insane nature. Only those who have died can truly understand the preciousness of life.' At this moment, the First Prince's voice was calm, composed, deep, and magnetic, each word seemingly emanating from his heart.
'No wonder Father Emperor was able to easily relinquish this vast royal city, unburdened by power or swayed by fame and fortune.'
Simply put, he was no longer as impatient as before; his tone revealed a transcendent and carefree spirit, as if he had transcended the disturbances of the world and stood on a higher realm.
Power and fame are fleeting, like passing clouds. Only oneself is eternal.
His simple soliloquy seemed to reveal his understanding of worldly glamour and vanity, and that he had found his true self.
At this moment, the eldest prince seemed to have been reborn and become a true sage.
Looking around at the emperors who were nowhere to be seen, neither alive nor dead, he felt a pang of reluctance, sadness, and sorrow.
He lowered his eyelids, bowed deeply, and then knelt on the ground!
He said in a low voice, without any sadness or joy, "Imperial power is indeed incredibly alluring, and in the end, it is still hard for my brothers to give it up."
My brothers must have missed me after all; otherwise, they wouldn't have entered the palace tonight.
Perhaps from the moment we stepped into the palace, it was already decided that only one of us brothers could live!
He sighed again, a helpless and sorrowful smile slowly spreading across his face. "I had already seen through life and death, and transcended the mortal world."
I never thought I'd be the one to survive, but why am I in so much pain right now?
Why is living heavier than dying?
My eyes were slightly moist. I looked up and saw only a dim array, which seemed about to disappear without a trace!
The eldest prince suddenly had a thought: 'The Boundary-Breaking Talisman! The Boundary-Breaking Talisman! The Boundary-Breaking Talisman left behind by Father!'
As if drawn by some intense memory, he hurriedly got up and began to busy himself in the treasure vault.
My gaze fell on the books on the bookshelf. I had never realized their value before, but today I regarded them as treasures.
Carefully picking up each book, gently brushing off the dust, and placing it into the spatial ring.
Besides the books, the eldest prince carefully collected the clothes and personal belongings of his younger brothers and put them into his spatial ring.
These garments were the only proof of their existence. The eldest prince's eyes were filled with sorrow as he treasured them, as if he wanted to keep these memories in his heart forever.
They cleaned the treasury thoroughly, leaving no corner untouched, ensuring no trace was left behind, as if the princes had never been there at all.
The talisman held tightly in the eldest prince's hand was ancient and mysterious. The patterns drawn on the talisman were as intricate as the trajectories of stars, flowing with a faint light, and the Dao patterns were full of spiritual energy.
Without the suppression of the dragon energy, the spiritual energy within the earth's veins flowed and overflowed, causing the power of the talismans to surge and swell!
With a gentle tear, a powerful force exploded in the space before him. The eldest prince stood in place, but his figure began to blur.
A distorted spatial vortex seemed to appear around the eldest prince, swallowing him whole.
Before leaving, the eldest prince had only one thought in his mind: 'Leaving like this, taking my brothers with me, is perhaps the best choice. Only in this way can we leave a glimmer of hope, and only in this way can time heal all wounds!'
The power of the Boundary-Breaking Talisman was so strong that, in a brief moment, everything around seemed to lose its color, leaving only the talisman's light flickering in the darkness.
As the power of the talisman dissipated, the eldest prince's figure also completely disappeared from the spot.
All that remained was the empty treasure vault and a fragment of a talisman lying quietly on the ground.
The remaining power of the talismans may have aroused suspicion among many forces that the Crown Prince's departure was not a simple departure, but a carefully planned retreat or accumulation of strength!
Perhaps it will give those behind the princes something to remember them by!
The mission was unsuccessful, and there were many schemes involved. Whether it was the Asura Pill or the Asura Guard, the Demon Extermination Guard was newly established, and all industries were waiting to be developed. The Eternal Age had not yet begun, so they had to leave in a hurry.
Perhaps it is now fully understood that power and scheming are based on equal footing between two parties, and that martial prowess is the current mainstream!
The sky was just before dawn, the moon was just before sunset, and it was the coldest time of day. But the person waiting was unusually cold and anxious, and sweat kept pouring down their forehead in the cold night.
It's so quiet, too quiet!
