The Great Wei Palace.
Terrifying demonic Qi scattered in all directions from Xu Qingnian’s body.
The scene looked extraordinary.
This scene was reflected throughout the entire Great Wei Dynasty, and countless people watched it.
People were surprised and wondered what was going on.
However, someone soon spoke up and guessed that this was clearing the demonic Qi from their bodies.
This statement was instantly recognised and supported by the people.
After all, even the Great Sage had taken action, so if Heaven and Earth really wanted to kill Xu Qingnian, I was afraid that Xu Qingnian would not be able to return to Heaven.
But the fact that Xu Qingnian did not die proves one thing.
Heaven and Earth did not want to kill Xu Qingnian, but rather gave Xu Qingnian a chance to clear the demonic energy from his body.
This explanation was so reasonable that many of the people believed this at first.
And inside the court of the Great Wei.
The demonic energy within Xu Qingnian’s body was indeed repelled, and the Three Demon Seals fought against the will of heaven and earth, as they were interspersed with the aura of the Great Sage.
As a result, the two forces collided wildly.
With each collision, Xu Qingnian would cough up blood, but with each cough of blood, the devilish qi in Xu Qingnian’s body became much less.
It lasted for a full hour.
Finally, it was as if the Three Devil Marks within his body became enraged and exploded with terrifying energy, directly swallowing all of the holy intent, before the devilish Qi filled the sinews and veins.
It seemed to want to take over Xu Qingnian’s physical body instantly.
Only, the holy intent and the power of heaven and earth were not weak either, strangling the three devil marks from within.
And within Xu Qingnian’s body, a sub-sage seal also quietly and unnoticeably coalesced.
Boom.
With a huge boom sounded.
The sound of a saint chanting scripture resounded from Xu Qingnian’s flesh, and a heavy glow spread from behind him.
The glow was dazzling, but not blinding, enveloping heaven and earth and evolving a Confucian.
These were the hundred schools of scholars.
Each figure was a great Confucian of heaven and earth who had travelled in the past and present.
“It’s the Hundred Schools of Thought.”
“This is the vision of the Hundred Schools of Confucianism.”
“The supreme vision of Confucianism, the Hundred Schools of Confucianism, Xu Qingnian has become a sub-saint.”
“Xu Sheng must have had a difficult time cultivating the supreme arts, and now he has become a sub-sage and swept away the demonic energy in his body.”
“That’s right, there must be something unspeakable, the heavens are helping Xu Sheng, let’s see what else they have to say.”
The people chattered, they cheered and looked excited, while a stream of public opinion flew in and was injected into Xu Qingnian’s body, as well as into the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron.
Faced with such a vast array of voices.
Wang Chaoyang and the others’ faces all turned unsightly.
The only means they had against Xu Qingnian was the matter of the Sea of Demons.
But now Xu Qingnian was about to become a sub-sage.
If they really wanted to target Xu Qingnian in the future, they would be in trouble, completely in trouble.
Therefore, at this juncture, Wang Chaoyang no longer cared about anything.
He took a step forward and looked at Xu Qingnian, his eyes full of cold intent.
“Even if you use the power of heaven and earth to get rid of the demonic energy in your body today, it will still not change your sin of killing and slaughtering the city.”
“Heaven and earth are above, if this person can become a sub-saint, it will be unjust to heaven and earth, unjust to the people, and unjust to the Great Dao.”
Wang Chaoyang’s voice was tremendous.
Gazing at Xu Qingnian, he said so.
He wanted to cut off Xu Qingnian’s eligibility to step into the Sublime Sage.
But as Wang Chaoyang’s voice rang out, in an instant, a new voice rang out.
It was Hui Xin’s voice.
“Put down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the ground.”
“Xu Sheng had a moment of enlightenment, and now that he has put down the sword of demonic thoughts, he has become a saint, and heaven and earth are most just.”
This was Huixin’s voice.
He had now been promoted to the first rank, his voice was vast and his Buddhist teachings boundless, transmitting his voice from the Western Continent and suppressing Wang Chaoyang’s voice.
The sky was filled with Buddha’s light appearing above the vault of the Great Wei sky.
Rudra’s true body reappeared, reflecting behind Xu Qingnian and chanting sutras for him.
Terrifying Buddhist teachings pervaded and were added to Xu Qingnian’s body.
“A person who cultivates a different art can also atone for his sins?”
“How ridiculous.”
Wang Chaoyang continued to speak, not convinced.
Only, at this very moment.
Amidst the light, Xu Qingnian opened his eyes.
His figure was incomparably holy, and between his raised hands and feet, he had the rhythm of a saint, and the sub-sage mark within his body was completely formed.
The intent of the Great Sage and the power of heaven and earth isolated the Three Demon Seal, completely enveloping it.
But unfortunately, it was still not eradicated.
It was even said that it could not be eradicated.
Xu Qingnian could feel that the Three Devil Marks in his body had already been integrated into his spirit, and it was difficult to eradicate them completely.
There might be hope for a solution if one promoted to the first rank of Confucianism.
But likewise, if the Three Demon Seals were to be energised and break through this seal, then it would be a disaster for oneself.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that a great disaster was at hand.
In other words, the more fierce the suppression at the moment, the more powerful the future rebound will be.
By becoming a saint, one can suppress it.
At the same time forming the Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent might also be able to suppress the Three Demon Seals within oneself.
This Three Demon Seal, when all is said and done, is actually related to heaven and earth.
If one can suppress the Yin power, then the Three Demon Seals will have little effect and cannot affect oneself.
But if the Yin force of heaven and earth cannot be suppressed, the Three Demon Seals will become stronger and one will fall into the demonic path.
Even if the gods came, it would be difficult to save them.
Xu Qingnian understood this point.
Therefore, he did not save himself, but with the help of the Great Sage’s will and the power of heaven and earth, he merely suppressed this problem for a short time.
The crisis still existed, but it was temporarily contained by oneself.
At the same time, with the approval of heaven and earth, he was promoted to the second-ranked sub-saint.
A second-ranking sub-saint requires the approval of heaven and earth.
And this recognition of heaven and earth is actually the approval of public opinion.
The people of the entire Great Wei Dynasty had always been supportive of oneself, and one could in fact have shocked the sub-saints before.
But going too fast was not a good thing, it required careful perception, and Xu Qingnian did not want to be so hasty, nor did he want to be so quick, just to break through the realm without perceiving it, which was naturally not good.
Right now, the time was ripe, and Xu Qingnian took this opportunity to break through to sub-sage.
As the sub-sage mark formed within his body, Xu Qingnian’s perception of the heavens and earth became more and more profound.
Many truths that he once did not know were now all clearly understood.
His control over the heavens and the earth was also ten times stronger than before.
Words can communicate with the gods.
They can truly reach the heavens.
And at this very moment.
Xu Qingnian’s gaze could not help but look towards Wang Chaoyang as well.
The two sub-saints looked at each other.
In an instant, a terrifying light burst forth.
“A different art has become a saint, and the Heavenly Dao is unjust.”
“Today, since the holy will has been clouded, then this saint will ask heaven and earth to judge his heart.”
Sensing Xu Qingnian’s gaze, Wang Chaoyang’s expression was ice-cold as he stepped out from within the great hall, gathering the power of his holy will and influencing heaven and earth once again.
In an instant.
Above the vault of heaven, a mirror.
He wanted to discern Xu Qingnian’s heart and find out Xu Qingnian’s flaw from his words, thus destroying Xu Qingnian’s Heart of the Sacred Seal.
This was also his last resort.
If he did not do so, then it would be even more impossible to target Xu Qingnian in the future.
This was the only chance at the moment.
There was no other chance.
The Sacred Mirror appeared.
It reflected a beam of light and fell beneath the Great Wei Imperial Palace.
Xu Qingnian and Wang Chaoyang both sensed it, and they were here to see their sacred hearts.
Under the gaze of the Mirror of Heaven and Earth.
Every move they make is sensed by heaven and earth, and in this conversation, they are debating.
If they lose, it will be difficult for them to become saints and they will be born with demons in their hearts.
Xu Qingnian has already become a sub-saint.
This is why the dialogue between the two is sensed by heaven and earth, and this is a debate and a testimony to the heart.
This is also the final killing move of the sub-sage.
Wang Chaoyang’s last resort.
He did not want to let go of this point of Xu Qingnian’s cultivation of supernatural arts. If this hurdle was pa*sed by Xu Qingnian, it would be even more difficult to find trouble with Xu Qingnian in the future.
Or even say that there was no hope at all.
Therefore, he seized this point to make an end to it.
Xu Qingnian understood that.
Therefore, he gave his reply.
“Is the Heavenly Dao unjust when a foreign art becomes a saint?”
“Let me ask you, in all my life, has this saint ever done anything wrong to heaven and earth? Has he ever done anything wrong to the world?”
Xu Qingnian looked at Wang Chaoyang and replied in this way.
Faced with Wang Chaoyang’s Mirror of Heaven and Earth, Xu Qingnian also had a way to block it, he could not accept it, but the reason he chose to accept it was also very simple.
He wanted to use this opportunity to completely eliminate the sensation of heaven and earth on himself, and also completely eliminate the sensation of heaven and earth on himself.
Otherwise, today Wang Chaoyang would grasp onto his supernatural arts and not let go, and tomorrow another person would come along and grasp onto his supernatural arts as well.
It will never be clear and will never end.
If this is the case, it is better to make an end to it today, to make an end to it once and for all.
The matter of the supernatural arts.
Since the matter has already been revealed, it is better to be more direct and straightforward.
“Ridiculous.”
“Cultivating different arts is a serious crime, you are the prince of Great Wei, but you know the law and violate it, how can you face the people of Great Wei?”
“The Great Wei Palace of Literature impeached you for practising a different art, but you denied it, but you destroyed the Great Wei Palace of Literature, how can you face the Confucian students?”
“All nations are fighting for justice, but you are brutal and unkind, ordering the slaughter of cities and surrendering people.
“You are full of benevolence and morality, but you have done something unworthy of a saint?”
Wang Chaoyang spoke up, his words were sharp, pointing out all of Xu Qingnian’s faults.
But when Wang Chaoyang finished speaking.
“Not worthy of being a saint.”
In an instant, the voices of three thousand great scholars resounded in unison, and they rebuked loudly and angrily, three thousand voices converging together like thunder, giving a great pressure.
“I had no choice but to practise the supernatural arts. I suffered at the hands of others and my life was in danger.
“The Great Wei Palace of Literature impeached me, not because of the supernatural arts, but because I prevented the Great Wei Palace of Literature from plotting and scheming, and because the Confucian Way has collapsed.
“Moreover, the Great Wei Palace of Literature was not put to death by this Saint, but by the presence of the Venerable Saint himself, who killed all the evil spirits.”
“As for the nations’ crusade, the seven days of sending in the report, the initiative to declare war, the Great Wei gave the opportunity to reconcile, the nations have no fear and want to start a civil war, regardless of the life of the people, this saint killed the surrender is to protect life, there is so much right and wrong.”
“If this saint say more absolute, not surrendered both kill, heavenly justice can be.”
Xu Qingnian gave some explanations, especially the last thing.
When it came to killing and surrendering, Xu Qingnian was more direct, and if he was given another chance, he would still do it.
If he was given another chance, he would still do it. A bunch of barbarians are just a bunch of barbarians.
If they surrendered, everything would be fine. If they didn’t, in terms of war, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
When two nations are at war, if the enemy does not surrender and resists desperately, should we treat them with mercy? Should we wait until the enemy has slaughtered his own generals, or should we wait for the enemy to come to our aid?
Is this not ridiculous?
“As for benevolence and morality, this saint has never opened and closed his mouth on morality, nor has he ever opened and closed his mouth on the celestial life.”
“On the contrary, it is Er, who opens and closes his mouth to save the people, who preaches to the world at every turn and leads the world out of trouble, but what he is actually doing behind the scenes, only he knows.”
Xu Qingnian voiced out, and he disliked them all angrily back.
He had no guilt at all, because he had no guilt in his heart.
When he counted what he had done over the years, there was selfishness, but more for the sake of the people of the world.
And the aim was pure, to be a free prince and to live out his old age in peace.
This was Xu Qingnian’s only selfishness.
And this selfishness is not a problem at all. If a person does not have selfishness, is he still a human being?
Faced with Xu Qingnian’s dislike.
Wang Chaoyang laughed coldly.
“As a Confucian, benevolence and love are the mainstays of life, but there is no benevolence in your heart, only brutality.
Wang Chaoyang continued to lash out, using benevolence and love as the main theme to attack Xu Qingnian.
But Xu Qingnian’s voice also rang out at the first opportunity.
“If there were no benevolence and love, why would Buddhism have entered Wei?”
“If there is no benevolence and love, why would the seventh rank dare to behead the king?”
“If there were no benevolence and love, why would this saint have stepped in during the great chaos?”
“Wang Chaoyang, you have asked me so much, it’s my turn to ask something.”
“You keep saying that I have no benevolence, what about you?”
“And how are you? Where exactly do you come from? And what is your background?”
“With what intention did you enter Great Wei?”
“The Mirror of Heaven and Earth hangs overhead, do you dare to say that there are no other forces behind you?”
“Moreover, how did you become a sub-saint? Dare you say so?”
Wang Chaoyang has been in trouble continuously, and Xu Qingnian is not made of clay.
He probably knew some of Wang Chaoyang’s origins.
Now, in front of the Mirror of Heaven and Earth, he asked them all.
Behind Wang Chaoyang was a saint, whether it was a fourth-generation saint or a fifth-generation saint, Xu Qingnian no longer cared.
There was little point in dwelling on this.
The real question was how Wang Chaoyang had become a sub-saint.
Just by looking at his age, Wang Chaoyang was just a few years older than himself, which meant that it was only these few years that he had become a sub-saint.
It was even the other day that he became a sub-sage.
A Confucian student who became a sub-sage would certainly attract the wonders of heaven and earth.
But the problem was that Wang Chaoyang had not attracted the wonders of heaven and earth.
There was obviously something very wrong with this.
He did not mention it before because there was no time, but now that the time was ripe, where was Xu Qingnian’s need for so much nonsense.
Don’t you like to ask?
Then let’s ask to the end today, I’ve brought out my bottom card, you don’t bring out your bottom card?
With Xu Qingnian’s questioning.
In a flash, Wang Chaoyang was somewhat silent.
His face did not look too good, not expecting Xu Qingnian to attack himself from this point.
“I witnessed the Dao in my senses.”
Wang Chaoyang gave his answer.
But in an instant, the bright mirror above the dome of the sky burst into a beam of light that shone on Wang Chaoyang, giving a mountainous pressure that made Wang Chaoyang’s face turn pale.
It was obvious that he had lied.
“Xu Qingnian, today is to talk about your cultivation of the supernatural arts, I did not make use of the supernatural arts for my sainthood.”
Wang Chaoyang had suffered a loss, and he was so unconvinced that he looked at Xu Qingnian and said through clenched teeth.
“Don’t change the subject here.”
“Tell me, how did you become a saint?”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth and questioned once more.
Faced with this kind of questioning, Wang Chaoyang’s face grew increasingly ugly.
He admitted to himself that he was the descendant of a great saint, a point that Xu Qingnian did not dwell on, allowing him to lie to himself.
But for him to become a sub-saint, there was bound to be something fishy about it.
Before he became a sub-sage, Xu Qingnian could not say anything, but having become a sub-sage, Xu Qingnian understood that to get to this point.
It required the right time, the right place, and the right people, all of which were missing.
Wang Chaoyang had someone behind him, a saint, and he could approve of it, but as for the right time and the right place?
If there wasn’t something fishy behind his appearance as a sub-saint, no one would believe it.
Now Xu Qingnian was using this opportunity to interrogate to the end.
The Mirror of Heaven and Earth had all appeared.
There was no fear of Wang Chaoyang telling lies.
“Xu Qingnian, you don’t want to confuse the public here, today is to investigate your crime of cultivating foreign arts.”
“You are here to confuse the public, is it hard to say that your heart is weak?”
Prince Huai Ning spoke out, at this time, he could only speak out to protect Wang Chaoyang, otherwise, this last bit of power would be gone.
But as Prince Huaining’s voice fell.
Xu Qingnian’s voice also immediately echoed.
“Shut up for this king.”
“According to the laws of Great Wei, when a va*sal king enters the capital, he must report to His Majesty three months in advance and be approved by His Majesty before he can enter the capital.”
“How many va*sal kings have visited Great Wei in person in the past three months? To dare to enter the capital privately without His Majesty’s approval is a great crime.”
“Do you think the King does not know what you have in mind? Is it not that you want to come and support this countryside prince?”
“Then today, the King will uproot you all and ask His Majesty to order that the kings have already had a different intention, and that the king who enters the capital will be cut down and imprisoned, with Prince Huai Ning as the head, to deter the kings.”
Xu Qingnian was worried that no one would come to him.
When Prince Huaining opened his mouth, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity.
“How dare you.”
Prince Huaining was furious this time, he was not angry at anything Xu Qingnian said, but he did not expect that Xu Qingnian would want to cut his clan throne today?
This had touched his scales.
But what one did not expect was the empress’ voice, which actually sounded at the same time.
“I allow it.”
“The six ministries listen to the order, investigate all the va*sal kings who have entered the capital, but send the Great Desolate Army, the Heavenly Son Army and the Qilin Army to cut down the va*sals and put them in prison, to revitalise the Great Wei dynasty.”
The empress spoke out.
The greatest enemy in her eyes was not Wang Chaoyang, nor this and that, but these va*sal kings.
Truth be told, the crisis of the va*sal kings must be greater than that of Wang Chaoyang and the others.
How was it that Wang Chaoyang was able to enter Great Wei?
Why are the major powers able to dictate in Great Wei?
Including this Ji Yuan, why does he dare to return to the capital so arrogantly?
In the end, it was because of these va*sal kings.
It is not because these va*sal kings hold great power in their hands, but these va*sal kings, who are their own family, are the imperial family of Great Wei, the bloodline of the Ji family.
An emperor, naturally, can be brutal, but if he is brutal, there should be no such thing as a prosperous era.
The people have to have a reason for their actions, let alone the emperor.
These va*sal kings, relying on the fact that they are the royal family and on the fact that they have troops in their hands, are doing unruly things in Great Wei.
She had always wanted to get rid of them, but she had never had the chance.
In fact, it was not a very good opportunity at the moment.
But for her, it was not a particularly good opportunity at the moment either, but Xu Qingnian had asked for it.
She would not refuse.
Now that Wei was rich and strong, and the military power was in her hands, she could indeed set the table with the kings.
The only thing is that Xu Qingnian has sped up her time a bit, but everything is under control.
Xu Qingnian has returned from this trip.
It was obvious that he had something big to do.
Ji Ling knew what Xu Qingnian wanted to do.
He wanted to unify Great Wei, to make the internal affairs of Great Wei completely and utterly unified, with only one voice.
This was centralised power.
For a dynasty, it was an essential part of the process, and something that a flourishing dynasty was bound to do.
If power is not centralised, who can stand it if there is a Wang Chaoyang today and a Li Chaoyang tomorrow?
Naturally, Ji Ling chose to take the initiative with Xu Qingnian.
“Your Majesty, think twice.”
Prince Huaining’s face changed and he spoke towards the Empress, asking Her Majesty to think twice.
However, the Empress’s face was calm as she looked at Prince Huai Ning and said.
“Someone, arrest Huai Ning and take him to the imperial prison.”
Her voice was cold.
The decision had already been made.
As soon as these words were spoken, the court was filled with an uproar, and everyone knew that the Empress was about to go on a rampage.
Not only because of Xu Qingnian, but more importantly, the empress in front of her was really going to show her imperial might.
“Your Majesty.”
“Since ancient times, there has been the saying of cutting down the tombs Prince Huai Ning has offended a little, but he has not committed any major transgressions, if this is the case, I am afraid that the world will not be convinced.”
At this moment, Daoist Qingjing spoke up, and he advised the empress that this must not be the case.
On the contrary, Ji Yuan, who was on the other side, was silent and did not participate in this matter.
This was very rare.
“This is Great Wei, when is it your turn to accuse me?”
“The world is not convinced? Then let the world disobey, do I still need to look at the face of the world when I act?”
Ji Ling spoke in a domineering manner.
She righteously supported Xu Qingnian, and daring to say this meant that she completely didn’t care about these things anymore.
As expected, with Ji Ling speaking out like this.
Immediately, an imperial guard came and detained Prince Huaining.
However, Prince Huaining did not shout anything, nor did he threaten the empress, but was silent and followed the imperial troops away.
He was not stupid and knew that shouting would serve no purpose.
But the hatred in his eyes was endless.
“Wang Chaoyang, don’t waste time here, answer quickly.”
“How did you achieve sub-sage status?”
Xu Qingnian’s voice was icy cold as he looked at Wang Chaoyang and continued to question him.
Hearing Xu Qingnian’s voice.
Wang Chaoyang’s face was extremely unpleasant.
He did not speak, I should say that he did not dare to speak.
He did not dare to answer.
Facing Wang Chaoyang like this, Xu Qingnian couldn’t help but sneer more and more.
If Wang Chaoyang had answered, he would not have said anything, but now that Wang Chaoyang was stammering, Xu Qingnian had already made up his mind.
He probably knew exactly how Wang Chaoyang had been promoted.
“Since you won’t say anything, then this king will say it for you.”
“On that day, when the Hao Ran Dynasty was founded, Zhu Sheng manifested and beheaded seventy percent of the readers, and after these seventy percent of the readers died, the Hao Ran Qi did not disappear.”
“You just happened to appear after the overthrow of the Hao Ran Dynasty, not earlier, not later, but at this time.”
“If my king is correct, you should have relied on the power of these readers to become a sub-sage, right?”
“You didn’t rely on your own power to become a sub-sage at all, but only with the help of some crooked ways.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth and said what he had guessed in his heart.
Just as soon as this was said, Wang Chaoyang’s face instantly sank as he looked at Xu Qingnian.
“Ridiculous.”
“Xu Qingnian, it’s no matter if you yourself cultivate foreign arts, yet you are still here to falsely accuse this saint?”
Wang Chaoyang’s emotions were agitated as he angrily rebuked Xu Qingnian.
But the Mirror of Heaven and Earth did not give Wang Chaoyang a single chance.
A beam of light coalesced once more.
But at that very moment, a force suddenly filled the air, directly blinding the Mirror of Heaven and Earth above the vault of heaven.
“Even the Mirror of Heaven and Earth dares to obscure it, Wang Chaoyang, how dare you say that you relied on your own power to ascend to sainthood?”
“Speak quickly.”
Xu Qingnian shouted, and at this moment, the sons of the world evolved behind him, questioning loudly.
Faced with Xu Qingnian’s questioning, Wang Chaoyang’s face became even more ugly.
Although the Mirror of Heaven and Earth was obscured, Xu Qingnian’s aura was so terrifying that it caused him to feel great pressure.
“Boom.”
Also at that moment, as a thunderous sound rang out, dissolving all of Wang Chaoyang’s pressure.
The next moment, torrents of rain fell, instantly landing on Xu Qingnian’s body and wetting his clothes.
Wang Chaoyang did the same.
However, at this moment, Xu Qingnian’s pressure was gone.
“Xu Qingnian, you cultivate foreign arts, this cannot be washed away, this matter, it will not pa*s so easily.”
Wang Chaoyang left these words behind.
He turned to leave, not wanting to dwell further with Xu Qingnian, because he had secrets, and if they were made public, his fate would be miserable.
“Do you want to leave just like that?”
“If you don’t explain this matter clearly, you won’t be able to leave here half a step today.”
Xu Qingnian was unlikely to let Wang Chaoyang go, someone had acted behind his back and defused his attack, but he still did not dare to show his face.
Xu Qingnian was going to force him to come out today.
Boom.
A large hand seal fell, the power of a second-grade martial supreme filled the air, and Xu Qingnian did not give any chance to say more than a few words, and struck out directly.
But in the next moment, Daoist Qingqing also struck out.
“Your Highness Xu.”
“You are truly domineering.”
“A disagreement and a big fight, you are only a second rank, if you were to be promoted to the first rank, wouldn’t you be creating an infinite number of killings?”
Daoist Qingjing’s voice rang out.
He spoke out at a crucial moment, in solidarity with Wang Chaoyang.
This was the only Immortal Sect that had not submitted to Great Wei, and the Seven Star Daoist Sect was close to the Buddhists, as well as Wang Chaoyang, Ji Yuan, Prince Huai Ning and others.
It also came with selfish intentions.
“Shut up.”
“You mo think this is the Seven Star Daoist Sect?”
“The king has his own decision on the affairs of Great Wei, so it’s your turn to accuse here?”
Xu Qingnian spoke out.
He was fearless in the face of the First Grade.
“Poor Dao did not say that this was the Seven Star Daoist Sect, but simply that I am not used to seeing what Prince Xu has done. The King is indeed a minister of Great Wei’s backbone, but he is practising a different art, and the world should be held accountable.”
“As the Supreme Elder of the Seven Stars Daoist Sect, I naturally cannot ignore the matter, and there is one more thing, Your Majesty Xu, the ancient scripture you recited some time ago is suspected to be the highest secret of my Seven Stars Daoist Sect, I wonder if Your Majesty Xu can explain it?”
Daoist Qingjing spoke out, his voice calm, and instead of shouting up with Xu Qingnian, he changed his words and inquired about the Tao Te Ching.
Once this was said.
Xu Qingnian instantly understood what the Seven Star Daoist Sect was thinking about.
Dare I say that they had waited for so long to use this method to ask for the Tao Te Ching?
This group of people were really bad to the core.
They want to help neither Wei nor themselves, but they still want the Tao Te Ching, and they have come up with such disgusting reasons.
Heh.
“Pa*s on my king’s order, the Ministry of Punishment, the Eight Sects of the Capital Army, gather a large army and clear out the Heaven and Earth Wen Palace, the kings’ forces, and the Seven Stars Daoist Sect within today, if necessary, ask the remaining six immortal sects of the First Grade to take action, and if there is any disobedience from the three parties, kill them on the spot.”
Xu Qingnian spoke, not so much as a word of nonsense.
There was no longer much point in bickering and arguing.
It was better to be direct and drive them all away.
Xu Qingnian wanted to tell them not to leave and just kill them all here.
But unfortunately, that was not possible.
Therefore, they were allowed to leave Great Wei and complete their internal unification.
This time when he returned, Xu Qingnian did not only want to show his brokenness and respond to all changes with no change, but more importantly, to unify Great Wei completely and utterly.
In this way, the Great Wei Dynasty can truly develop.
It was time to settle all these wrongs and wrongs.
“Xu Qingnian.”
Daoist Qingjing spoke once more.
However, in an instant, six powerful auras filled the air, the aura of the First Grade of the Tai Shang Immortal Sect, who had been watching.
Now that the moment of truth had arrived, they would not hide.
Six terrifying auras filled the air, instantly suppressing Daoist Qingjing.
It was true that he was a First Grade, but there was more than just one First Grade in Great Wei.
“Good.”
“Since that’s the case, then we’ll have to see just how far Prince Xu can go, but don’t dig your own grave.”
Six auras suppressed and came, Daoist Qingjing was not stupid.
He dared to come here today because Xu Qingnian had practiced a foreign art, but he did not expect Xu Qingnian to take the initiative to admit it and, by using heaven and earth to prove himself, not only did he settle the matter.
Instead, he had become a sub-sage.
So much so that this matter could not be a means for them to attack Xu Qingnian.
So all of Daoist Qingqing’s intentions fell through, not just his, but those of Wang Chaoyang, Prince Huai Ning, and Ji Yuan as well, completely and utterly.
Who could have known that Xu Qingnian could become a sub-sage at this time? Who would have known that Xu Qingnian would become a sub-sage at this time?
The most desperate thing was that Wang Chaoyang gathered the Mirror of Heaven and Earth, but he turned out to be a coward.
He was dumbfounded by Xu Qingnian’s question, and could be said to have lost completely.
Now, Xu Qingnian had turned the tables on them and caught them in the act, and they had lost everything.
Xu Qingnian has proven himself innocent, and it is almost impossible to impeach Xu Qingnian with the magic in the future.
Unless one stands in the shoes of the world and Xu Qingnian is bound to do something against the world.
Otherwise, it would not mean much.
Daoist Qingjing left, and as a First Rank, no one could stop him if he wanted to leave.
He took Wang Chaoyang with him.
The latter, on the other hand, did not look good; he was still unconvinced, but he was being pulled by Daoist Qingjing.
There was nothing he could do even if he was not convinced.
Looking at the two leaving.
Xu Qingnian was somewhat silent.
At this point, there was no point in being aggressive if one still had to be.
In this game, he had already won too much, indirectly and completely resolving the scourge of foreign arts, returning to the court, and by the way, suppressing the Heaven and Earth Wen Palace, as well as Daoist Qingjing, and the clan king’s forces.
If Wang Chaoyang is forcibly left behind and forced to reveal the truth, it will intensify the conflict and may well lead to an outcome that no one wants to see.
Wang Chaoyang has the support of a saint behind him.
It was that one saint who did not know that he had not made a move, naturally because he thought the time was not ripe.
It did not mean that he would not make a move, as the mirror of heaven and earth just now showed that Wang Chaoyang
If he is forced to make a move, this is an ending no one would want to see.
When all was said and done, the time was still not yet right.
He did not want to make a move.
Xu Qingnian also did not want to fight the other side head on so soon.
Soon.
In the Great Wei Imperial Palace.
Only Ji Yuan was left alone.
Prince Huining was taken into the imperial prison, and Wang Chaoyang and Daoist Qingjing left.
For a while, Ji Yuan stood in the great hall like an orphan, silent.
As if sensing Ji Yuan’s embarra*sment, Ji Ling’s voice slowly rang out.
“Ji Yuan, you are a member of the Imperial Family of Great Wei, yet you have impeached me, a loyal minister of Great Wei, with outsiders. However, I remember that you are under the spell of someone, so you can be spared a death sentence, but you cannot escape a life sentence, so you will be punished by being sent to the Da Lisi Temple and suffer in prison for one year as a sign of your duty.”
The empress spoke without mercy, directly sending Ji Yuan to the prison for a year.
Ji Yuan was, after all, the imperial son of Great Wei, and even if she wanted to make him disappear, she definitely could not be too direct.
And it would be best if he could be restricted, and when Great Wei was firmly established, it wouldn’t matter if Ji Yuan died or not.
Hearing Ji Ling’s voice, Ji Yuan’s heart was full of discontent.
But he also knew that this time he had lost too completely.
“Receive the decree.”
In the end, Ji Yuan lowered his head and slowly uttered his voice, followed by the appearance of the imperial troops, who detained Ji Yuan and left.
With Ji Yuan’s departure.
This turmoil, too, came to an end.
Looking at the people who had already left, Xu Qingnian’s face looked calm as he walked with a dragon and came inside the palace.
He made a bow towards the empress.
“I, Xu Qingnian, am ashamed of Your Majesty.”
Xu Qingnian bowed towards the Empress and took the initiative to apologise.
Cultivating foreign arts, this was indeed a mortal sin.
There was no problem in concealing this matter, but in terms of reason, wrong was wrong.
At the moment, it was just an extraordinary moment, an extraordinary treatment.
Xu Qingnian faced up to his mistake and naturally went to court to plead guilty.
In the face of Xu Qingnian’s plea, the empress was at a loss as to what to do.
On the contrary, the empress was at a loss as to what to say.
She was silent, looking at Xu Qingnian. Deep in her heart, she wanted to forgive Xu Qingnian directly.
But with all the ministers here, as the emperor, she had to be careful with her words.
She was not the only one, the court officials were also at a loss as to what to say, after all, this was the first time they had encountered such a thing.
However, at that very moment, Chen Zhengru’s voice rang out.
“I dare to ask Your Majesty three things.”
Chen Zhengru opened his mouth and spoke out to ask.
“Please ask Chen Ru questions.”
Xu Qingnian looked at Chen Zhengru and said so.
“First, has Your Majesty ever killed an innocent person indiscriminately?”
Chen Zhengru asked.
“No.”
Xu Qingnian gave his answer.
“Then secondly, has Your Majesty eliminated demonic thoughts?”
Chen Zhengru continued to ask.
“Not completely, but there is a way to suppress it and it will not affect it.”
Xu Qingnian answered truthfully.
“Then thirdly, dare I ask Your Majesty, if one day, Your Majesty is really unable to control the demonic thoughts, what will you do?”
Chen Zhengru asked.
This was the most important question.
“If such a day does come, there is no need for others to take action, this king will handle it himself and will not harm the world.”
Xu Qingnian said with a firm expression.
If it really came to this point, he would either become a demon or die, then Xu Qingnian would not go and wreak havoc on the living beings.
This was a minimum of three views.
As Xu Qingnian finished saying this, Chen Zhengru instantly took a deep breath and bowed towards Xu Qingnian.
“Your Majesty is greatly kind.”
“Hsu Sheng Wanzai.”
“Your Majesty, the King of Ping Chaos has personally tried and risked his life to break the method of the supernatural arts, this is a supreme merit.”
“Please, Your Majesty, remember that the King of Ping Chaos has such a meritorious heart, and open his heart to extra-legal mercy.”
Chen Zhengru spoke out.
He was clever enough not to say that Xu Qingnian was practising a supernatural art, but that Xu Qingnian was risking his life to break the method of the supernatural art.
The general meaning, but not the same motive, was therefore better understood and accepted.
As a matter of fact, once this was said, all the court officials laughed.
“Please be merciful, Your Majesty.”
“I hope Your Majesty will be merciful.”
The courtiers knelt on the ground and implored the empress to show mercy outside the law.
It was a stepping stone.
The Empress faked silence, and after a while, she looked at Xu Qingnian and slowly spoke out.
“King of Peace and Chaos, can you make a grand oath that if you really go off the rails, you will never harm the people?”
The Empress also gave Xu Qingnian a step up.
It was an indisputable fact that Xu Qingnian cultivated foreign arts, and the people of the world needed an explanation from the Great Wei, and Xu Qingnian was clear about it.
Right now, Chen Zhengru had found this explanation, and so had the Empress.
Naturally, Xu Qingnian did not nag and spoke directly.
“I wish to make a grand vow.”
This was Xu Qingnian’s reply.
In an instant, the crowd was overjoyed.
“Good.”
“Since this is the case, the sin of dissimilar arts is hereby waived.”
Ji Ling spoke out.
At that moment, the sound of hail was shouted.
The empress then hosted a banquet to celebrate Xu Qingnian’s return.
At the same time, she also made it known to the world that the matter of the foreign arts had been committed.
And at the same time.
The Great Wei Imperial Prison.
With the entry into prison.
Prince Huai Ning sat quietly.
He was already deeply tired.
Today was the most promising time to bring down Xu Qingnian, but unexpectedly, he still let Xu Qingnian get away.
Not only that, but he had also been turned against him by Xu Qingnian.
This foreign art had been cultivated, and Xu Qingnian had actually managed to escape from death.
He really didn’t know what to say.
Inexplicably, Prince Huai Ning felt that Xu Qingnian was not the son of heaven’s destiny, how come no matter what he did, there was always heaven’s help ah.
An official of the seventh rank, yet he dared to behead his own son.
Then, when the Great Wei va*sal states had all come to this point, Xu Qingnian was able to save the day.
And then to pull down the unbeatable Great Wei Wen Gong.
The holy grandson appeared, but it was useless.
The prince appeared, useless.
What kind of person was this Xu Qingnian?
Prince Huining was desperate.
He was really desperate.
Every time, it looked like he had the victory in hand.
But every time, he lost completely.
At this moment, Prince Huaining was really numb.
He was numb from losing.
Is he angry?
He was angry, but not with Xu Qingnian, but with the group of foolish people at the beginning.
If they had listened to their own advice in the earliest days, it wouldn’t have come to this.
Xu Qingnian could have been killed a long time ago.
There was no need for so much trouble.
Why bother?
He was tired.
Really tired.
Thinking about how old he was, he really didn’t want to go on like this.
He might as well let it go.
At least it would be a good end.
But just then.
A voice appeared in his ears.
“Your Majesty.”
“The time is ripe.”
“The barbarians are going to attack Great Wei.”
“This time, we are sure to win.”
As this voice rang out.
In an instant, Prince Huai Ning froze.
Good man.
Here we go again?
