"What did you say? What happened to Chen Mo?"
The Empress came to her senses and said urgently, "Quickly, summon Zhong Lihe in!"
"Yes."
The palace servant responded and retreated.
A moment later, Zhong Lihe carried Chen Mo into the palace hall.
"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Empress..."
"..."
Seeing Chen Mo with his eyes closed, unconscious, the Empress’s eyebrows twitched. She said, "What are you standing around for? Hurry and get him to the bed!"
Sun Senior Palace Lady quickly stepped forward, took him from Zhong Lihe’s hands, and helped him onto the small couch.
Grasping Chen Mo’s wrist and channeling a strand of Primordial Qi into him, she checked for a moment and said, "Rest assured, Your Highness, Mr. Chen is not in serious condition. He’s just depleted his True Yuan and soul power, making his body weak, but he’ll be fine after some rest."

"Exactly." Zhong Lihe nodded.
"Which level did he reach?"
"The top level."
"... Huh?!"
The Empress was stunned for a moment, doubting if she heard wrong, "What did you say? The top level?"
Zhong Lihe took a deep breath and said each word distinctly, "Chen Mo climbed to the thirty-third platform and even obtained the Military Dao Inheritance, stopping all swords, making blades surrender!"
? !
The Empress’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
The amount of information in that statement was too overwhelming, making it hard for her to digest.
She naturally knew what that ’Military Dao Inheritance’ meant... She once went against all opposition to establish the Heavenly Martial Arena, investing heavily.
