Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 531: The Pressure of the Great Path

Situ Xingfeng at this moment, too, was overjoyed.

He had finally comprehended the Spatial Law. To know his father, in order to make him comprehend the Spatial Law, had persistently made him endure the oppression of the space marsh.

It made him experience the sensation under the effect of the Spatial Momentum, yet he had always been unsuccessful.

Now, with the help of the Daoist Stele, he had finally grasped the Spatial Momentum.

Although it was only the distortion within the Spatial Momentum.

However, this was already an extremely rare Third Grade Dao Principle Embryo.

"Haha, Lieyang King, you truly have a fine son, not bad, having comprehended the Third Grade Dao Principle Embryo, his future achievements are bound to be great. Situ Xingfeng, would you be willing to join my ranks and work for me?" the Great Flame Emperor said with a smile.

"Work for His Majesty?" Situ Xingfeng was taken aback.

Was the Great Flame Emperor planning to recruit him?

The Lieyang King also seemed surprised, but said nothing.

"Yes, as my personal guard, I will teach you some things on a regular basis. Once you can stand on your own, I will appoint you as the General Who Pacifies the Distance, commanding one hundred thousand troops," the Great Flame Emperor said commandingly.

The people around were all astoundingly surprised.

The Great Flame Emperor intended to fully foster his own confidant.

This Situ Xingfeng actually received such appreciation from the Great Flame Emperor?

Situ Xingfeng was also surprised, standing in place, completely unsure of how to reply.

"When the Emperor asks you a question, you should follow your own heart. If you are willing, then express your gratitude," Situ Lie said.

Hearing this, Situ Xingfeng nodded immediately, and then with a firm look, he said, "Thank you for Your Majesty’s grace."

"Haha, good, from now on you will stay by my side. Lieyang King, you won’t be reluctant to part with your son, will you?" the Great Flame Emperor laughed heartily.

"For His Majesty to cultivate my son is my good fortune," Situ Lie said with a smile.

"Haha, good, rest assured, I will not treat your son unfairly," the Great Flame Emperor laughed heartily.

Upon these words, the entire venue was filled with immense surprise.

Especially for the two sides of the Zhu Royal Mansion and the Crimson King’s Mansion, they were all frowning tightly.

With this development, the Lieyang Royal Mansion was going to heavily suppress their two great royal houses.

It was clear that the Great Flame Emperor intended to put great trust in the Lieyang Royal Mansion.

"Haha, Lieyang King, I remember you have an even more formidable nephew, who with Seventh Rank cultivation secured a top-five position. Is this the person beside you?" the Great Flame Emperor finally looked toward Xu Ping’an with a smile.

Upon these words, everyone’s gaze in the venue turned towards Xu Ping’an.

The entire venue was left with only Xu Ping’an who had yet to touch the Daoist Stele. Did this fellow really think he could be the grand finale?

"Replying to Your Majesty, this is indeed my nephew, Wu Qing. Wu Qing, have you not yet greeted His Majesty?" Situ Lie glanced at Xu Ping’an and said.

"Wu Qing pays respects to His Majesty," Xu Ping’an immediately said as he performed the salute.

"You are called Wu Qing, not bad. I heard you defeated Luo Yong’an?" the Great Flame Emperor said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Luo Yong’an’s face suddenly turned ashen.

"It was mere luck, and also because Luo Yong’an underestimated the enemy, which allowed me to luckily win," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.

"Haha, you are quite humble," the Great Flame Emperor said with appreciation.

Xu Ping’an offered a slight smile in return.

Luo Yong’an, on the other hand, snorted coldly, clearly not accepting Xu Ping’an’s politeness.

"Alright, I am eager to see what Dao Principles you will comprehend. I remember you have already comprehended the Spatial Momentum," the Great Flame Emperor said.

"Reporting to the Emperor, I have indeed comprehended spatial momentum, specifically spatial cutting momentum," Xu Ping’an responded truthfully.

"Spatial Cutting, that’s the embryo of a Second Grade Dao Principle. You comprehended the embryo of a Second Grade Dao Principle without touching the Great Dao stele?" The Great Flame Emperor revealed a surprised expression.

The people around were also immensely shocked.

Xu Ping’an had not yet touched the Great Dao stele, and he had already comprehended the embryo of a Second Grade Dao Principle?

Could this guy be so defiant of the heavens?

The embryo of a Second Grade Dao Principle?

This was the legendary Dao Principle Embryo, something that might not appear even once in hundreds or even thousands of years in the entire Great Flame Empire.

Xie Jizong and others were also astonished beyond belief.

Although they knew that Xu Ping’an had comprehended spatial momentum, they had always thought that what Xu Ping’an comprehended was merely the embryo of a Third Grade Principle.

But now the Great Flame Emperor was saying that what Xu Ping’an comprehended was a Second Grade.

Didn’t that mean Xu Ping’an’s starting point was much higher than theirs?

Li Qingyi also looked at Xu Ping’an with surprise, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

Qiu Lu beside her also gazed at Xu Ping’an with astonishment, her eyes measuring him.

For some reason, she felt a familiar sensation from this young man before her.

This feeling seemed inexplicably familiar, very much like... very much like... the one from before...

"A Second Grade Dao Principle Embryo, to comprehend such a Dao Principle Embryo, one must absolutely be a genius. Could it be because my master was once such a genius?" Qiu Lu thought to herself, her mind wandering for a moment.

Xu Ping’an, feeling the astonished gazes of everyone, could only helplessly shake his head.

His Spatial Cutting Momentum was a Second Grade Dao Principle Embryo, but it was only of middle grade within the Second Grade.

And the Temporal Dao Principles he had comprehended were the top-tier Dao Principle embryos within the Second Grade.

If these people knew that he had also comprehended Temporal Momentum, wouldn’t they go mad?

"Quick, go touch the Great Dao stele. This Emperor wants to see what other miracles you can create," urged the Great Flame Emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Xu Ping’an replied with a resigned smile, complying.

He then walked towards the Great Dao stele.

As he approached the Great Dao stele, he immediately felt an unprecedented pressure.

This pressure was the majesty of the Great Dao.

Xu Ping’an’s steps became more laborious.

However, Xu Ping’an didn’t use his spatial momentum to counteract this majesty because he discovered something different.

"Interesting, I didn’t expect this Great Dao pressure could also temper soul power," Xu Ping’an mused to himself.

He immediately utilized this Dao Pressure to temper his soul origin.

With the oppression of the Great Dao pressure, Xu Ping’an’s soul origin became even more solidified.

This benefit greatly delighted Xu Ping’an.

Therefore, he walked very slowly, each step taking a long time.

This made the geniuses inside the hall frown.

"Can’t this guy even withstand this Great Dao pressure?" someone curiously asked.

The others shook their heads, feeling that it didn’t make sense.
