The official road south of Yan.
Hundreds of men of the Great Wei army, riding on blazing horses, gallop in.
The garrison of Yan Nan City.
They had been ordered to come and make known His Majesty’s decree.
Only when the holy decree was issued.
In the middle of the jade carriage, however, came a faint one.
Roll.
The voice was not loud, but it was full of dominance.
The general at the head of the group did not look too good, but immediately returned to his normal colour.
The man in the jade carriage was still an unknown quantity, but if he dared to come straightforwardly, it was impossible for him not to have some courage.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
He could only bow his head and say.
“This is the holy will.”
He spoke with his head bowed and said so.
“Holy Will?”
“Whose holy will?”
“My sister’s holy will? Or the holy will of Xu Qingnian, the traitor of the dynasty?”
A cold voice rang out, and there was no trace of reverence for the Great Wei Empress in her words, while she also sarcastically spoke of Xu Qingnian.
“This …….”
The latter did not dare to speak, he neither dared to contradict the great figure in the jade carriage, much less to speak ill of Xu Qingnian.
Who was Xu Qingnian now?
He didn’t say anything, he still kept his head down and was silent.
And just then, the voice from the jade carriage rang out again.
“Go back and tell my sister that I will go to Kyoto to prove myself.”
“If anyone dares to interfere with this emperor, don’t blame me for turning the other cheek.”
“Go back.”
He spoke, and the last three words contained an even more domineering aura, causing his Qi and blood to tumble and boil.
The latter did not dare to say more, this matter was not something he could hold, so he turned around and left without saying anything more.
After the man had left.
The procession continued on its way.
But inside the two jade carriages at the front and back, where a stunning beauty sat, a pleasant voice came from inside.
“Heh, this is the treatment of the Imperial Prince of Great Wei? I thought that the Great Wei Dynasty was ruled by Confucianism and should be a country of high morals and etiquette, but I never thought it would be any different from other dynasties?”
The voice rang out with an enchanting and seductive tone, and just hearing it made people feel a little bit excited.
But as such a voice rang out, the voice of this Great Wei’s prince could not help but give a response.
“Is this emperor naive, or are you naive?”
“Great Wei already has an emperor, my emperor’s arrival would only cause her to worry and be afraid, this time Great Wei has not sent anyone to strike secretly, this is already considered extremely good.”
“If it were your people, I’m afraid that halfway through the journey, they would have been gone.”
He spoke out, looking slightly sarcastic, and said so.
“Heh.”
“I would like to see how you, the imperial son, can make the heart of Great Wei jump.”
“If you are incompetent and fail to take back power, I will have to find a new home in Great Wei. I heard that this Xu Qingnian is not bad, and I wonder if he likes me.”
The voice rang out again, seemingly a bit unscrupulous.
When this was said, the imperial son in the jade carriage could not help but have a cold look in his eyes.
“Xu Qingnian?”
“There is only some collusion with my sister, I heard that my sister is considered a national beauty and has bound Xu Qingnian with her beauty, so I think this Xu Qingnian is no better.”
“However, my emperor knows that he has great talent and is a ruler of the country, so if he is willing to submit to me, it is not impossible to fulfill him.”
“But this kind of great talent is like a blazing horse, it is difficult to subdue, one can only subdue it with dominance.”
The Great Wei Emperor spoke, his expression calm as he commented on Xu Qingnian.
“Overbearing?”
“But this Xu Qingnian, it’s not possible to eat softness but not hardness?”
“How about this, I sacrifice myself and let him fall into a tender place, Nurse has taught me so many things, I have to have a place to show them, so let’s make it easier for this Xu Qingnian.”
“I’m only afraid you’re going to be angry.”
The voice continued to ring out, such a hurtful remark, coming out of her mouth, seemed very casual.
And all the attendants, one by one, their faces unchanged, seemed to have gotten used to it long ago and walked towards the front.
“Ridiculous, those who have achieved great things, why should they stick to small things?”
“If I were to exchange you for Xu Qingnian, the emperor would be willing to do so, but the emperor knows this Xu Qingnian, he has a strong character, soft on the outside but tough on the inside, if he uses soft tactics, such as an imperial decree, he will definitely stall and push back.”
“He will even try to delay the matter by meandering with the Emperor.
“This emperor has studied him for a long time, from his angry rebuke of the great scholars at the South Yufu to his sainthood, every single thing he has done has in fact been predetermined long ago, this man should definitely not be used in a nurturing way.”
“This man also practices hegemony, and if you want to suppress this man, you can only use hegemonic means to crush him, to make him feel desperate, and to make him realise that this Great Wei is not as simple as he imagined.”
“Otherwise, once we meander with him, you and I will end up in pieces.”
The Imperial Prince of Great Wei spoke.
He seemed to understand Xu Qingnian very well, having studied all of Xu Qingnian’s affairs, and he had studied every single thing.
Therefore, he decided that Xu Qingnian was definitely not someone who ate softness but not hardness, and if Xu Qingnian had eaten softness, then he would not have gone to this extreme with the Great Wei Wen Gong.
Many people knew this, as Chen Xin and Zhou Min, two great scholars, had talked to Xu Qingnian, including Chen Zhengru, who had also persuaded him.
The two great scholars, Chen Xin and Zhou Min, had talked to Xu Qingnian separately, including Chen Zhengru, who had also advised Xu Qingnian that he could apologise and make the relationship better.
The answer is obvious.
The answer is obvious. From this point on, we can see that Xu Qingnian is not the kind of person who eats softness but not hardness, and he will not change what he has decided.
He can be vague with you, but the end result will not change.
It was precisely because of this understanding that the Great Wei Prince was so intent on subduing Xu Qingnian with his domineering ways.
What is hegemony?
If Xu Qingnian listens to his own words, everything is fine.
If Xu Qingnian dared to be submissive, then he would fight until Xu Qingnian was afraid.
If Xu Qingnian disobeys him, then he will be killed. It does not matter whether Xu Qingnian helps the Great Wei or not, if he disobeys him, he will be killed.
He had also thought about using gentle tactics to contact Xu Qingnian before.
For example, he could be polite and gentle, and he could draw Xu Qingnian in, showing his feelings and moving him to reason, but after thinking about it, this was not in line with his own character, pretending for a day or two was fine, but pretending for a year or two was difficult.
Moreover, this would not do any good, it would only allow Xu Qingnian to gradually develop and then, at the critical moment, get himself killed.
So, instead of this, it would be better to be frank and suppress with hegemony, and see if he, Xu Qingnian, dares to offend himself.
“Your Great Wei, you just have a lot of thoughts. Anyway, no matter what, if you can become the new Emperor of Great Wei, I will be the Empress of Great Wei for a while, if you don’t become the new Emperor of Great Wei, it’s fine to be a royal concubine.”
“Tired.”
A lazy voice rang out as the woman slowly lay down and rested in the jade carriage.
Only this phrase of hers, being a royal concubine, referred to something else.
The jade carriage at the head of the line.
The Great Wei prince, whose origins were unknown, looked calm, he didn’t care about these remarks at all.
This woman was the ninth princess of the Raiding Dynasty, Suna.
She was known as the number one beauty of the Sudden Evil, and truth be told, when he first saw her, his heart did flutter, too beautiful for his liking.
But he soon learnt that this woman was very clever, extremely clever even, the jewel of the King’s heart, the most beloved princess, bar none.
The King of Sudden Evil promised Suna to himself, but the requirement was that he had to become the Emperor of Great Wei.
It was for this reason that the Sudden Evil Dynasty would fully support his return to the dynasty.
Not only the Sudden Evil Dynasty, but also many other powers had already contacted themselves in secret.
“Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan, if you get through this difficult time, you will be the emperor of Great Wei, the lord of the Central Continent.”
“Father, don’t worry, your dream, my son will fulfil it for you.”
“The glory of Great Wei will also be forged by the men of my Ji family.”
“The Sudden Evil Dynasty, the Immortal Sect, the Clan Kings, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, the Buddhist Sect, and a few unknown powers.”
“When this emperor holds great power, this emperor will show you what it means to be born emperors, you and others want to control this emperor? You are simply delusional.”
In the jade carriage, Ji Yuan muttered.
As the procession entered the territory of Great Wei, his thoughts could not help but drift.
He was the orphan of Emperor Wu.
Like a fake.
As an infant, he was taken out of the palace, but was soon taken away again to be raised among the deep mountains.
He was brought up by two men, one who taught him Confucianism and one who taught him martial arts, from mysterious and extraordinary origins.
From the time he understood, he was told who he was and how his father had been killed, and that he had to work hard to avenge his father and take back the throne, as well as to revive the Wei Dynasty and save the world.
So over the years, Ji Yuan mustered all his energy to study.
Every day before dawn, he would get up to practise his kung fu, refine his body, eat medicinal food and take medicinal baths, and after lunchtime, he would read and understand everything from ruling the country to farming.
More than twenty years had pa*sed in this way.
No one knows how much has been paid for these twenty years, only he himself knows.
More than twenty years have pa*sed.
Although he had suffered greatly, everything that had happened was finally over.
He himself would finally return to the Great Wei Dynasty and would finally take back the throne that belonged to him.
And it was still a return at the realm of the third rank of the Martial Dao.
Yes, these twenty years of hard training, coupled with various medicinal and medicinal baths, as well as one’s own physical talent and so on, had allowed one to successfully reach the third rank of the Martial Dao in the year he turned twenty-five.
As for the Confucian Dao, it wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either, having also reached the Great Confucian realm.
Throughout the centuries, there were not many great Confucians at the age of twenty-five, and the likes of Xu Qingnian did not count.
Right now, Ji Yuan knew very well that the reason he had the courage to come to Great Wei was because he had the support of too many people behind him.
And the purpose of these people was simply to see the decline of Great Wei.
He knew it well, but what he understood even better was that he needed to use the power of these people, otherwise he would never have a chance to get ahead.
If he really had no one to rely on, he would come to Wei only to die.
Therefore, he is using the power of these people, and when he is really in power, he will also make a final decision and kill all these people.
What Turk’s Evil Dynasty, what First Yuan Dynasty, what Buddhist and Immortal Sects, all go to hell, and the iron hors*men of the Great Wei will be unified, completely and utterly unified.
He himself was the son of heaven’s destiny, and a true emperor, the one emperor of a thousand ages.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan did not say more and sat quietly in the jade carriage, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
Meanwhile.
The Sudden Evil Dynasty.
Inside the imperial palace.
In the luxurious palace, there were several figures standing, all of them were the superiors of the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
The Sudden Evil King was sitting on the dragon chair with a calm expression.
“Report.”
“According to the scout’s reply, Great Wei’s prince Ji Yuan has arrived in Great Wei’s territory.”
“The Imperial Court of Great Wei has blocked the entry of the Imperial Son, declaring that, after verifying his identity, they will grant the title of Southern Barbarian King to the Imperial Son of Great Wei, Ji Yuan, and reward him with countless gold and silver.”
A voice rang out, breaking the silence within the great hall.
Just as this voice rang out, King Sudden Evil slowly opened his eyes.
“What did Ji Yuan say?”
The Sudden Evil King said in a calm tone.
“Back to Your Majesty, Ji Yuan refused on the spot, claiming to have gone to Kyoto to verify his identity.”
The latter replied.
This reply made King Sudden Evil nod, followed by a wave of his hand and told him to withdraw.
After he had withdrawn.
The King of Sudden Evil scanned the few courtiers in the hall, his gaze slightly gloomy.
“Dear Ministers.”
“Now that Great Wei is about to coalesce the Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent, how should this matter be decided?”
King Sudden Evil spoke slowly, throwing out a question.
The sudden coalescence of the Dragon Cauldron in the Middle Continent by the Great Wei Dynasty was not a good thing for the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
If it was not even dealt with in a hurry, once Great Wei had coalesced the Dragon Cauldron in the Middle Continent, it would be useless to say anything.
Inside the hall, the courtiers were silent, not knowing how to answer for a while.
After about a quarter of an hour, someone finally spoke up, breaking the silence.
“Back to Your Majesty.”
“I believe that Great Wei has become a climate that creates too much pressure on my Sudden Evil Dynasty, and now it is even coalescing the Dragon Cauldron of the Central Continent, our dynasty must not sit idly by and do nothing.”
“I ask Your Majesty, in conjunction with the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, to send an army to Great Wei, create war, and destroy the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron no matter what.”
Someone spoke up and voiced out a solution that was not a solution.
Only when this was said, it was immediately refuted.
“Impossible.”
“Great Wei is now in the process of condensing the Dragon Cauldron, if we forcefully interfere with it, we will definitely form a deadly feud with Great Wei.”
“If it was before, our dynasty would have been offended, but the current Great Wei is different, the six great immortal clans have completely joined Great Wei, plus the two First Grade martial artists, this is a total of eight First Grade before and after.”
“If we really send an army to Great Wei, in the end our dynasty will surely suffer a great loss.”
Someone spoke up and refused outright.
It wasn’t anything else, knowing that Great Wei was becoming stronger, and knowing that if we didn’t stop it, there would be a lot of trouble.
But the question is, how do you get on when there are so many First Cla*ses around?
The reason is simple: the First Cla*s cannot interfere in mundane matters.
Moreover, even if they could intervene, they would still weigh many things, so the First Grade would not engage in war.
But the problem is that if the Tusi Dynasty takes the initiative to send an army without a justifiable reason, then people of the First Rank will not sit in the capital of Great Wei for nothing.
Eight First Pins.
How could they fight?
Who will fight?
Who can stand up to them?
Even the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty combined would not be able to stand up to them.
The two dynasties together only have two First Grades, so if they really fight, they will definitely suffer a big loss.
Wouldn’t that be sending them to their deaths?
Therefore, sending troops to Great Wei was definitely an irrational thing to do.
“No fight? Is it hard to sit here and wait for death?”
“Do you know what the Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent means? Mountain springs turn into spiritual springs, grain and rice turn into spiritual rice, eating and drinking can be entry level, Great Wei does nothing and in a hundred years everyone will be an entry level martial artist.”
“Not to mention the generals, now one barbarian is worth ten Great Wei soldiers, when the time comes it will be one Great Wei soldier against ten barbarians.”
“The day of the fall of the country is not far away.”
The former spoke up, he wasn’t throwing a tantrum, he was just stating the facts clearly.
To put it simply, I don’t want to fight either, but can we not fight? Let Wei win? Is that possible?
As he said this, the crowd fell silent.
Indeed, it would be the greatest trouble if they did nothing.
“In fact, you all shouldn’t be so pessimistic.”
“It is not an easy task for this Midcontinent Dragon Cauldron to be formed.”
“There must be no war, no empire shift, and no civil unrest.”
“These three points alone are enough for Great Wei to drink.”
“The Sudden Evil Dynasty may not attack Great Wei, but the barbarians can. I think the Primordial Yuan Dynasty is as anxious as we are, so why not join forces with the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and aid the barbarians, so that they can send troops to Great Wei and cause war.”
“Furthermore, hasn’t Ji Yuan already gone to Great Wei? As the orphan of Emperor Wu, he now has forces supporting him and helping him to seize power, isn’t this a shift of the emperor’s star?”
“As for the people in turmoil, if the barbarians kill Great Wei, how can the people not be in turmoil?”
“By then it will be one good show after another, the Dragon Tripod of the Central Continent, how can it be that easy to forge?”
Someone spoke up, the Prime Minister of the Sudden Evil Dynasty, his face confident as he spoke these things.
Only when he said this did the crowd’s expressions ease a little, except that the Sudden Evil King’s expression remained unchanged and slightly gloomy, although his gaze, on the other hand, looked out of the hall, as if he was waiting for something.
“Although the idea is good, it is almost impossible to realise it.”
“Let’s not talk about anything else first, would the barbarians dare to invade? The Six Great Immortal Sects are already stationed in Great Wei, would the barbarians dare to invade? Let alone the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty aiding them, even if the barbarians came out with another First Grade, they wouldn’t be able to invade Great Wei.”
“Eight First Cla*ses, what kind of power is that, don’t we know that?”
“Don’t amuse yourself by saying such things now.”
Opposing voices rang out, not looking favourably on the barbarian invasion.
Eight Dignitaries of the First Rank, ah.
What kind of concept is that?
This was an invincible force, and the unfortunate thing was that there was still a Seven Star Daoist Sect that had not submitted to Great Wei, and then there was also the point that these six First Cla*ses would not take the initiative to conquer the war.
Otherwise, things would not have been so simple.
If the eight First Cla*ses really came together, it would only be a matter of time before the two dynasties were crushed.
Only.
It was at this moment.
A voice rang out from outside the great hall.
“The gra*sroots pay their respects to His Majesty the Sudden Evil.”
As this voice rang out, in an instant, the gloomy gaze of the Sudden Evil Emperor revealed a flash of joy between them.
“Enter.”
He opened his mouth, ignoring the conversation and directly allowing the other party to enter the great hall.
It was a masked man.
He slowly walked into the great hall and bowed towards a few people, then came before the Sudden Evil Emperor and bowed deeply.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
He was respectful and performed a great salute in worship.
“You are welcome.”
The Sudden Evil King did not want to talk nonsense, and after two simple words, he waited for the other party to speak.
“Your Majesty, everything has been put in place, the Great Wei One Piece, no matter who it is, will not make a move.”
He spoke, and with a single word, caused the King of Sudden Evil to reveal a joyful expression.
“Good.”
“Excellent.”
Upon learning this news, even the Sudden Evil Emperor could not help but give a loud praise.
The rest of the people in the hall, on the other hand, could not help but reveal their astonishment.
The First Grade of Great Wei, no matter who it was, would not make a move?
How was this possible?
They could understand the six Immortal Sect First Cla*ses not making a move, after all, they had only just joined and their hearts might not be in alignment yet.
But the two First Grade martial artists of Great Wei, there was no way they wouldn’t make a move.
This simply did not make sense.
Several people were a little confused, while the Sudden Evil King did not answer immediately, instead calculating something in his mind.
“Your Majesty, there is something that the herbalist would like to speak to Your Majesty about.”
The valley/span masked man spoke.
The Sudden Evil King nodded his head.
“The Primordial Yuan Dynasty is willing to ally with the Sudden Evil Dynasty to deal with Great Wei together, so I implore the Sudden Evil King to do his utmost to aid the Northern Barbarians and wait for the right opportunity to send an army to Great Wei, so that the world can be returned to a clear and clear sky.”
The masked man spoke up, and he said this.
When he said this, the King of Sudden Evil fell silent for a moment.
In fact, in the face of such cooperation, he naturally agreed, after all, Great Wei had risen, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty was afraid, and so was his Sudden Evil Dynasty.
Nowadays, it was good that there were three legs, each with its own scruples, and no matter who rose to power, both sides would ally at the first opportunity.
It is difficult to break.
But since it was the other side that came to him, he had to ask for some favours too.
“I promise, since it is an alliance, my sudden evil dynasty, which is closest to the Great Wei, is under great pressure, tell Emperor Chu Yuan to gift seven million catties of spiritual iron, and I will return with seven million catties of top quality military grain in return.”
The King of Turk’s Evil spoke.
Seven million jins of spiritual iron for seven million jins of top-quality military grain, no matter how you put it, it was a profit for the Sudden Evil.
However, what the Sudden Evil Dynasty produced in abundance was military grain, and this kind of grain was extremely useful as an ordinary soldier could eat one catty and not need to eat for a month.
Every year, the Chu Yuan Dynasty would purchase it, and even the Great Wei Dynasty would purchase it, but it would be restricted.
Taking seven million catties of military grain for seven million catties of spirit iron was a loss, but at least it was a bit of a return, and not much of a loss.
The masked man was slightly silent.
The Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty were in a situation where their lips were dying and their teeth were cold, but at this point, the Sudden Evil Dynasty still had the audacity to ask for favours?
It was really ridiculous.
But this thought, he did not say it, and it was not a big deal, so he nodded and said.
“Please rest a*sured, Your Majesty, I will certainly pa*s on the message.”
“If there is nothing of great importance to Your Majesty, I shall leave first.”
He said so, intending to leave.
“Good.”
“Take your time.”
The Sudden Evil King nodded his head.
At that moment, the masked man did not say any more nonsense and turned to leave.
After the masked man left.
The Sudden Evil Chancellor could not help but speak up.
“Your Majesty, what is going on here?”
“Why won’t the First Rank of Great Wei make a move?”
The Sudden Evil Prime Minister could not help but open his mouth to ask, as he looked at the Sudden Evil King, his eyes filled with doubts among them.
He was not the only one, the rest of the crowd was also full of doubts.
After all, this was indeed a bit unbelievable.
If they really wanted to send an army to Wei, why didn’t the First Grade do so? Could it be that all of the First Pins of Great Wei were their own people?
“These are matters that you all should not pursue.”
“In short, in a few days, you will all understand.”
The King of Sudden Evil did not speak so clearly.
It was because these matters did involve many secrets.
The only thing they could know was that Wei was in big trouble.
And at the same time.
The Buddhist Sect.
The divine monk Garan sat in silence in his precious hall.
Hui Ming sat in front of him, tapping a wooden fish, as if he was putting his mind at ease.
After a long time.
Finally, Huiming stopped pounding, opened his eyes and looked at the divine monk Garan.
“Abbot.”
“Do we really have to go this far?”
“The Buddhist sect has not yet lost, at least not miserably, and although Tianzhu Temple has lost, there is one more World Honoured One in the world, which is actually a good thing for my Buddhist sect after all.”
Hui Ming spoke.
He asked the Garan divine Monk, his eyes full of curiosity among them, while also carrying some indescribable strangeness.
“Huiming.”
“It is a good thing that the Buddhist sect is undefeated and has produced a World Honoured One.”
“But for the Tianzhu Temple, it is defeated after all, and for my Buddhist sect in the Western Continent, it is also defeated.”
“If His Holiness were willing to enter my Buddhist sect, I would be willing to give everything to His Holiness, but His Holiness is entangled in the world, entangled in karma, and the red dust has clouded his wise heart.”
“If we want to truly make the Buddhist sect flourish, we must rely on us.”
“A great calamity is coming, it is difficult to say whether the Buddhist sect will be able to survive this calamity, and when the World Honoured One truly awakens, the risks are too great, we must consider for the sake of the world’s living beings.”
The Garan divine monk spoke, and with some remarks, he touted himself as the supreme.
But after these remarks, the latter was somewhat silent.
After a long time, the divine monk Garan rose, he looked at Huiming, and the divine monk said incomparably calmly.
“Huiming, if there is any greater karma, it will be borne by the poor monk alone.”
“During this time, take good care of the temple.”
The divine monk Garan spoke.
After saying this, he stepped out with a single step and disappeared in the same place.
And at this moment.
Divine Monk Hui Ming was silent.
“Good, good.”
Eventually, Divine Monk Huiming recited two sentences and appeared silent.
He knew what this abbot senior brother of his was going to do.
To unseal the Demon Sea and release the demons in the Demon Sea.
Once these demons were released, the great chaos in heaven and earth would also be brought forward one step, and doing so would create endless sins and add karma to the body.
But at the moment, this is the only way for the Buddhist sect to truly flourish.
If there were no demons in the world, how would the world know the goodness of Buddhism?
If it were in the past, the Buddhists would not have done this, even if it were any more, the Buddhists would not have done such a thing.
It was not because they dared not, but because there was a Confucian Daoist lineage in the world, but now the Confucian Daoist lineage has died out by 80%.
Naturally, the Buddhists have become the strongest force to suppress the demons.
By releasing the evil demons in the demonic sea, the world will completely understand that the Buddha Sect is powerful, and will also allow the Buddha Sect to harvest a group of faith and get the true power of the thoughts of all beings.
When the time comes, whether it is the Great Wei or elsewhere, they will all ask the Buddha Sect to step in.
This is what the people want.
But the karma undertaken in this way is too great and unimaginable.
It’s just that this is the only chance the Buddhists have, and it’s the last chance. If the debate had won, it wouldn’t have gone this far.
Now that the debates have failed, if the Tianzhu Temple does not do so, there will be no more day for the Buddhists in the Western Continent.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
The sound of the Buddha’s hymn resounded from within the hall.
This was followed by the long sound of wooden fish being beaten.
And at that moment, in the middle of the Great Wei.
The Palace of the King of Peace and Chaos.
Xu Qingnian had returned from the court.
And within the royal residence, there was an additional figure.
It was the figure of Lin Zhen.
He had brought with him the twenty jades that Xu Qingnian needed.
On each jade, a first-grade formation was engraved, all according to Xu Qingnian’s requirements.
There was no problem whatsoever.
However, these twenty jades were engraved by all the elders of the Gui Yuan Formation Sect.
Only a few days were given, it was too tight, but it was good that they were carved out.
“Xu Sheng.”
“The formation jade is delivered to you, as for what the function is, the poor dao will not ask much, but be careful, if the formation jade is destroyed, destroying the formation is a small matter, but I am afraid that it will cause other troubles, that would be bad, especially this lightning inducing formation, if one is not careful, it will only bring trouble to Great Wei.”
Daoist Lin Lin spoke up, cautioning Xu Qingnian to be more careful.
“Many thanks, senior.”
“Senior has done his best to help, my king is grateful, so I will not say anything more than empty words, when the Dragon Cauldron in the Central Continent coalesces, the entire Tao Te Ching will be handed over to senior.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth, he looked serious and said.
Promising the entirety of the Tao Te Ching.
Indeed, hearing the entire Tao Te Ching, Lin Lin Lin was a little excited and did not pretend, looking at Xu Qingnian and saying.
“Don’t worry, Xu Sheng, if Great Wei has any difficulties, we will also do our best to help Great Wei, and hope that the Dragon Cauldron of the Central Continent will quickly coalesce.”
“By the way, I have also checked some texts, and that old man yesterday was right, during the coalescence of the Dragon Cauldron in the Middle Continent, there should indeed be no war, no emperor shifts, and no civil unrest.”
“I’m not afraid of war and chaos, with us here, I believe no one will dare to target the Great Wei.”
“As for the emperor’s move, this is a family matter of Great Wei, so I can’t say much.
Daoist Lin Lin spoke up, and his words were explicitly and implicitly very direct, siding with Xu Qingnian.
Of course, if the other side gave too many benefits, or if the situation changed in some way, they would also consider themselves a bit.
It wasn’t as if they were just brainlessly supportive, but basically they would support Xu Qingnian.
“Then, on behalf of His Majesty, this king thanks senior much.”
Having received Lin Lin’s support, Xu Qingnian had slightly more confidence in his heart.
The matter of war and chaos, Xu Qingnian also believed that it would not occur, after all, six Immortal Dao First Cla*ses, plus two Martial Dao First Cla*ses, with these eight First Cla*ses alone, who would dare to provoke Great Wei?
Who would dare to provoke the Great Wei?
Have you got nothing better to do? Do you want to die?
“There is one more thing, the Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron also has a quick fix.”
Lin Lin suddenly spoke up, mentioning the Midcontinent Dragon Cauldron again, and it was about a quick solution.
“Oh? Please enlighten me, senior.”
Xu Qingnian couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“When the Dragon Cauldron in the Middle Continent is coalescing, it must not be in war, but if there is a war, it can be accelerated if it is pacified and even opened up.”
“If a strong country does come to invade, we can actually consider stepping in and razing the other country’s land, allowing the Great Wei to move in, and perhaps the true Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent can be directly coalesced.”
Lin Zhen spoke out as he revealed this pungent secret.
When this was said, Xu Qingnian was indeed a little surprised.
Calming the war could actually speed up the formation of the Midcontinent Dragon Cauldron? This was good news, at the very least it was better than nothing.
Of course, for a short period of time, Xu Qingnian still did not want any changes.
After all, those who dared to trouble Great Wei at this juncture must have made comprehensive plans.
So, it was better to be quiet.
It was best to wait until one had developed the real Divine Martial Cannon, get three or five of them, and then send some people to die, which was the best outcome.
“Alright, Xu Sheng, I’ll leave you alone, just have someone find me directly if there’s anything.”
With the words out of his mouth, Lin Zhen didn’t bother to say anything, he arched his hand, turned around and left.
“Many thanks, senior.”
Xu Qingnian still gave a thank you.
He then took the formation jades away without any nonsense and began to fuse these first-grade formation jades, into the Divine Martial Cannon.
It was not a difficult task to fuse the formations together, the trouble was that the formations clashed with each other.
Xu Qingnian went through the same method as before, first wrapping them with public opinion, followed by the power of the Immortal Dao, the power of the Martial Dao, and now even more so, the power of the Buddhist Dao.
As the layers were wrapped, Xu Qingnian appeared to be extra careful.
He poured his whole body into it, superimposing piece after piece of the formation.
This took a lot of time, after all, if he got it wrong, the twenty first-grade formations would basically be completely scrapped.
It was fine if the formations were scrapped, but the big deal was to get a favour from senior Lin Lin, as the Immortal Sect had already joined Great Wei anyway, so it made sense to be a bit tired.
In the future, when Great Wei rises to power, these Immortal Sects will also have benefits.
But the most troublesome thing was the material problem.
It is difficult to find the finest spirit gold.
If it was really scrapped, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, Xu Qingnian would rather waste some time than to pursue speed.
Little by little, time pa*sed.
No matter what happened outside, it was not as important as making a Divine Martial Cannon.
To him, no matter what was going on outside, it was not as important as creating a first-rate Divine Martial Cannon, which was better than all plots and tricks.
The news that the prince of Wei had entered the capital also reached the capital at the first opportunity.
The court was in uproar, especially when they learned that this orphan of the late emperor was so arrogant, and from the feeling of it, they were not pleased.
The people knew that this imperial son was only coming from a bad place.
He had no regard for the Empress of Wei and had spoken such treacherous words.
But on the other hand, this prince was too strong. If he was not the true orphan of Emperor Wu, who would have dared to do so?
Thinking of this, the officials were somewhat silent.
Of course, there were also those who were furious and considered the other side to be treacherous; no matter what, the Emperor of Great Wei was Ji Ling, not yet you Ji Yuan.
They had already written a memorial to impeach Ji Yuan for what he had done, asking His Majesty to forcibly restrict Ji Yuan from entering Kyoto and never allow him to set foot in the capital of Great Wei until the situation was ascertained.
The leader of the group was Chen Zhengru.
There was also a group of officials who were silent and remained neutral, not really daring to express any opinions indiscriminately.
However, the following day.
A decree came from the palace, restricting Ji Yuan from entering the capital of Great Wei and agreeing with Chen Zhengru’s opinion.
If the identity of the family was clearly established, everything would be fine, and the family would have to acknowledge their ancestors, but if it was not, it would be a different story.
After the decree was issued.
It was true that Ji Yuan was restricted.
But on the same day, the va*sal kings from all over the country submitted a joint petition, the meaning of which was extremely simple.
The matter of Emperor Wu’s orphans had to be strictly investigated, but it was not good enough to keep them out of the country, and since they dared to come to the capital, why should they be afraid?
If they dare to come to the capital, what is there to fear? If they are prevented from doing so, they will be in a disadvantageous position and ask His Majesty to allow them to enter the capital.
At the same time, the va*sal lords also set out for the capital, wanting to see who this orphan of Emperor Wu really was.
The va*sal kings’ memorials were presented to the palace.
But there was no response, which was a common tactic, and if no response was given, it didn’t matter that much.
It was just that the va*sal king’s memorial did not give a response.
Then came the folds of the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the First Yuan Dynasty.
The two dynasties first spoke beautifully, what with their respect for Great Wei, for Emperor Wu and their reverence for him, knowing that Great Wei was a nation of manners.
Now someone claiming to be the imperial son of Great Wei, whether true or not, should enter the capital to verify his identity, and if he refuses to go outside, there is no guarantee that people will not be suspicious.
It would be difficult to convince the public, and this would be very bad for the people of Zhongzhou.
Then came the words of the saints and some other words.
The general idea was that the prince of Wei had to enter the palace, otherwise it would be bad for the people to be outraged.
The two dynasties sent the folding letter, not to threaten Wei, nor to interfere in Wei’s internal affairs, but to tell Wei.
They are the forces behind the prince of Wei.
They supported the Imperial Prince of Great Wei.
Having the support of the va*sal kings internally and the support of the two great dynasties externally has led to all sorts of discussions for a while.
The people had indeed begun to circulate these gossips.
At first, the people were curious as to whether this prince was the orphan of Emperor Wu, after all, this orphan of Emperor Wu came from the Sudden Evil, so what if it was the Sudden Evil deliberately messing with Great Wei?
But the story of the orphan of Emperor Wu had always been spread among the people, but without proof, the people gradually thought that it was just a rumour.
Now that the Imperial Prince of Great Wei has appeared, then things have become different.
However, the empress still did not issue any decree, and the situation remained as it was.
The third day.
Finally, two new voices rang out to back up the Great Wei prince.
“Great Wei is a state of etiquette, ruled by Confucianism, and since someone claims to be the orphan of Emperor Wu, whether it is true or not will be known when you enter Kyoto. Now that the Dragon Tripod is being forged, do not let such things disturb the hearts of the people and cause the forging to fail.”
“This saint implores Your Majesty to change the holy will.”
It was Wang Chaoyang’s voice.
He chose to speak out on the third day, and the meaning of his words was simple, supporting the Great Wei Emperor.
And the second voice came from the Seven Star Daoist Sect.
“The Emperor’s Star has been revealed, and the Lord of Central Prosperity has returned.”
In comparison, Wang Chaoyang was simply a kind of support, sort of standing in line.
But these words from the Seven Star Daoist Sect were somewhat more direct.
The Emperor’s Star has been revealed, and the Lord of Central Prosperity has returned.
Everyone knew how obvious the meaning of this was.
After the two sides had taken a stand, Chen Zhengru first drafted a memorial and rebuked the Seven Star Sect.
After all, the Seven Star Sect had gone too far.
It was not certain whether it was the Emperor of Wei, but the Seven Stars Daoist Sect had already started to build up momentum for the other side, and even said that the Emperor’s Star had been revealed.
It was simply treacherous.
But the Seven Stars Daoist Sect quickly replied that it did not refer to anyone, but only to what it knew from its nightly observation of the heavens.
It was Chen Zhengru who had thought too much of himself.
This reply was disgusting. Who did not know what the Seven Stars Daoist Sect meant?
But no matter what.
There was still no news from the palace.
Until the fourth day.
Rumours grew among the people, and the Great Wei Clan Kings, the Sudden Evil Dynasty, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, the Seven Star Daoist Sect and even the Buddhist Sect all responded, saying that the return of the prince was a good thing and that it would not be a bad thing if the situation could be clarified.
This was a kind of support.
And it was on this fourth day.
Finally, a new holy decree came from within the palace.
Ji Yuan was allowed to enter the capital.
To find out the true identity.
As the holy decree was issued, the speed of this pedestrian journey accelerated a lot.
In less than a day, they would arrive in Kyoto.
And on this day.
Kyoto was once again abuzz with excitement.
A va*sal king entered the capital.
Waiting for Ji Yuan’s arrival.
The whole of Great Wei Kyoto, too, seemed inexplicably tense.
The return of the orphan of Emperor Wu.
The return of Emperor Wu’s orphan has put great pressure on the imperial court.
