A short while later, Nan Liru returned with a scholar.
This scholar was none other than Xiang Hui.
It's been half a month since I last saw you.
Xiang Hui has also broken through to the ninth rank.
He smiled and bowed deeply to Guo Feng: "This humble one, Xiang Hui, greets King Feng. It has been a long time since we last met; King Feng's demeanor is even more extraordinary!"
"You dare to come to my army as a lobbyist?"
Guo Feng chuckled, "If it were anyone else, I could simply kick them out. But if it's you, and you don't give me a satisfactory answer, your life will come to an end."
"yes……"
Xiang Hui was startled.
He had only heard that Guo Feng was now incredibly powerful, but upon seeing him now, he seemed even stronger than Duke Guo.
However, he wasn't too alarmed.
After all, he dared to come at this time, so he wasn't someone who was afraid of death.
He cupped his hands in greeting, "King Feng, I am not here to plead for Duke Guo."
"He was misled into rebelling and defying the Empress. It is only natural that he was wiped out by the Wind King's army."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I have come here to deliver a message to the Wind King about the Guo clan's ancestor and his cave. I hope that after receiving this message, the Wind King will show me leniency."
"oh?"
Guo Feng knew, of course, that this person was there to lobby on behalf of Duke Guo.
It's normal that he doesn't lobby directly.
However, he actually used the bait of the Guo family ancestor, which was somewhat unexpected by Guo Feng.
He looked at Xiang Hui and said, "Tell me about it."
"yes!"
Seeing this, Xiang Hui quickly said with a serious expression, "A few days ago, after you left Guo Wang City, Duke Guo received a message from the statue of the Guo family's ancestors, saying that he should give up the position of head of the Guo family and pass it on to you."
"What?"
Guo Feng looked surprised.
Xiang Hui continued, "When we received this news, we also found it unbelievable, because the statue was originally only used for sacrifices and worship, and it had not conveyed any information for thousands of years. However, after you came, things changed."
He looked at Guo Feng and said, "Therefore, we believe that you must have a special connection with the Guo family ancestors."
He paused for a moment, then said, “Within the Guo family, they immediately split into two factions. One faction believed that the Duke of Guo was the current head of the Guo family and that such a hasty decision should not be made based on information from a mere statue.”
"The other faction believes that the statue represents the will of the ancestors, and if the will of the ancestors is violated, divine retribution will surely follow. Therefore, they demand that Duke Guo give up his position!"
"The two factions were deadlocked, but the faction that supported Duke Guo gained the upper hand."
"Those who support you have decided to report this matter to the Empress and ask her to make a decision."
"Then, your faction was suppressed, many of your collateral branches were immediately wiped out, and many family elders were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
"However, some of your supporters escaped from Guo Wangcheng."
"Therefore, under the instigation of some people, the Duke of Guo immediately declared himself emperor the day after you left."
What Xiang Hui said next surprised and shocked Guo Feng even more.
It turns out that so many things happened after he left Guo Wangcheng.
Even within the Guo family, there are people who support him.
He frowned, looked at Xiang Hui, and asked, "And then?"
"This is about the Guo family's ancestors."
Xiang Hui smiled and said, "And the matter of the ancestral cave is related to Young Master Qin Tian, who is by your side, King Feng."
"He should have the cave dwelling token of the Guo family's ancestral cave in his possession."
"However, because our Guo family ancestor was exceptionally strong, it is said that before he left the Chaos Continent, he had already reached the tenth rank of Immortal, which is a quasi-Dao rank existence."
"Therefore, the cave dwelling of the Guo family ancestors cannot be entered simply by having a cave dwelling token."
"It also requires the bloodline of the Guo family ancestors, and it is said that the bloodline must be awakened, and the bloodline concentration must be extremely high."
As he spoke, he looked at Guo Feng, "And the altar for awakening bloodlines is in the hands of Duke Guo."
"The Duke of Guo has tried several times, but he is unable to awaken his bloodline to a high level. He also had several of the clan's prodigies try, but they all failed."
At this point, he said with a serious expression, "Now, everyone is guessing that only you, Wind King, can awaken that level of bloodline and open the cave of the Guo clan's ancestors."
"Awakening bloodline?"
Guo Feng was completely confused, but fortunately, he could still understand it.
Moreover, he learned that the Guo family's ancestor was a quasi-Dao level being.
He had gained a very deep understanding of the entire training system from the Nine-Tailed Red Spirit.
The hundred levels they are referring to now is a ranking system created by Sima Hui and others to make it easier for modern Chinese people to understand.
In reality, this is the tenth grade of the mortal rank.
Above the tenth rank of the mortal realm is the tenth rank of the immortal realm!
Above the tenth rank of Immortal is the tenth rank of Dao!
Mortals cultivate themselves to transcend the mundane and become immortals.
Immortals who comprehend the Great Dao become gods.
However, humans, immortals, and gods are all concepts representing different levels of life.
Moreover, this is only a concept that human civilization like Guo Feng's can understand.
In this endless universe.
Are there any beings born as gods?
Are there beings even higher than the gods?
These things are too distant for human civilization to even contemplate, and thinking about them is meaningless.
However, the human cultivation system consists of the mortal, immortal, and Dao stages.
