Under the expectant gazes of Ying Zheng and the other three, Lu Chuan slowly said, "I will not join any empire."
Before Lu Chuan could finish speaking, Ying Zheng hurriedly said, "Young friend Lu, please do not make a decision yet. If you join my Great Qin, I will announce to the people of Great Qin that if I ever perish, you will become the Emperor of Great Qin."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan was slightly taken aback, while Liu Che, Li Shimin, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked even more surprised.
The empire should be passed down to future generations, yet Ying Zheng actually said he wanted to give the throne of the Qin Empire to Lu Chuan?
I asked you to make a promise, but the promise you've made is really too big!
The throne can be given to someone outside the imperial family?!
However, after a slight surprise, people admired Ying Zheng's quick thinking.
Even though they have reached the Limitless Dao Realm and their lifespans are already endless, the current situation in the Ancestral Star Realm is extremely bad. Even though they are at the Limitless Dao Realm, it is hard to guarantee that they will not perish. After their fall, the succession of the empire will be a major problem.
Among Ying Zheng's sons, the limit was the first level of the Wuji Dao Realm. With such cultivation, it was clearly impossible for them to rule the entire empire.
Therefore, abdication and handing over the reins to a more capable person is the best option; otherwise, the entire Ying clan should be abolished, with no one left alive.
Although Lu Chuan is only at the first level of the Great Dao Realm, his ability to achieve such a level in the barren heavens is enough to show his talent. Lu Chuan is less than four thousand years old and has been cultivating for less than four thousand years. To achieve such a level in the barren heavens, he will surely be able to enter the ninth level of the Boundless Great Dao Realm in the future.
When Emperor Ying Zheng abdicated, there was naturally a sense of kinship. Although Ying Zheng was gone, the Ying clan remained as stable as Mount Tai, holding a pivotal position in the empire. As long as Lu Chuan was alive, and as long as the Ying clan did not cross the line, the Ying clan would continue to be glorious.
It must be said that Ying Zheng was truly a brilliant strategist; he was incredibly quick-witted.
Emperors like Liu Che, Li Shimin, and Zhu Yuanzhang were all unparalleled rulers, each possessing a shrewd mind that allowed them to see through his intentions in an instant.
And so.
Liu Che hurriedly said, "What's so great about being the emperor of the Great Qin Empire? It's much better to be the emperor of my Great Han Empire. The Great Han has accumulated a wealth of experience, and with the governance of a genius like you, young friend, the Great Han Empire will surely usher in an unprecedented era of glory."
"You're really good at bragging! What kind of foundation does your Great Han Empire have? The accumulation of my Great Tang Empire is truly profound. Young friend Lu should be the emperor of my Great Tang." Li Shimin naturally retorted.
Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent on this matter. He naturally understood what Ying Zheng and the other two were thinking. None of them had a good successor, but he was different. His son, Zhu Biao, was an emperor rarely seen throughout history. In recent years, he had increasingly shown the majestic bearing of a great emperor. Moreover, Zhu Biao's talent was extremely strong. Reaching the ninth level of the Wuji Dao Realm was not impossible for him. Furthermore, although the evolution of the original world of Lu Chuan's ancestral star was very different, Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed a commoner in the ancestral star world, who gradually built the vast Ming Empire.
His belief was firm: the Ming Empire would inevitably teach his son, Biao'er. As for whether Biao'er wanted to pass on the knowledge to his son, that was his business.
In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite happy to watch Ying Zheng and the other two argue. As an observer, it was truly a good show!
Seeing that the argument between Ying Zheng and the other two was getting more and more heated, Lu Chuan quickly said, "Your Majesties, there is no need to argue. I am not interested in the throne. I have my own reasons for not joining any empire. Of course, my not joining any empire does not prevent my disciples from joining the major empires."
They have their own paths to walk. As their master, I am merely their guide. I cannot accompany them on their entire journey. They can serve whichever empire they deem beneficial to their cultivation!
This decision was naturally the result of careful consideration by Lu Chuan.
He is currently only at the first level of the Great Dao Realm, far from the ninth level of the Boundless Great Dao Realm. He is not invincible in this world, and he cannot even be considered a powerful figure. He is far from being able to establish his own independent sect.
He will not join any empire; only by establishing the Jie Sect in the future can he succeed.
His disciples need a lot of resources for cultivation, which he can't currently provide. It would be better to let the empire support them.
It would be best if these disciples of the family could occupy a place in various empires. This way, after the establishment of the Jie Sect, they could better spread the teachings in various countries and face much less resistance from those countries.
Promoting the teachings of the Jie Sect inevitably leads to clashes with local sects, so it's always better to keep things simple.
Of course, one must be strong to succeed; one must strive to improve one's own skills.
Another thing he needs to do is to take on more disciples in this world so that his cultivation can improve faster.
now,
As Lu Chuan finished speaking, Ying Zheng and the other three's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea, preventing Lu Chuan from joining any empire and injecting fresh blood into the empire.
Of course, this came at a great cost to them; it was essentially training people for Lu Chuan!
This would be impossible in peaceful times without external dangers, but it doesn't matter now. As long as we can train them as soon as possible to resist foreign invaders, that would be best.
However, it is also necessary to ensure that their intentions are pure and that they will not defect to foreign tribes in the face of battle.
This is difficult to guarantee, so it is necessary to make a vow to the Great Dao with one's own destiny.
Lu Chuan and the others did not refuse Ying Zheng's proposal. They made a solemn oath to never betray the Ancestral Star Realm and to fight to the death against the invading alien races!
With the oath of the Great Dao made, Ying Zheng and his companions were naturally relieved, and then began to recruit Qinglian and others.
Ying Zheng, Liu Che, Li Shimin, and Zhu Yuanzhang all listed out their most generous resources and benefits, allowing everyone to choose. The competition for talent ceased. Firstly, Lu Chuan had already made his position clear, so the disciples would naturally choose the most suitable ones. Secondly, recruiting disciples with the same attitude one would use to recruit their masters seemed somewhat inappropriate. Regardless of whether Lu Chuan and the others cared or not, getting things done properly was the most basic requirement.
Qinglian and the others naturally chose which empire to go to based on the treatment and resources that each empire could offer.
Throughout the entire process, they had no objections to what their master said. Whether they understood their master's intentions or not, since their master chose to do this, it must be for their own good. Their master had his own comprehensive considerations, and they just listened.
They have reached this point today entirely because of their master. Without their master, they would not be where they are today. Listening to their master is never wrong.
Moreover, the master's command is not an order; it all depends on one's own consideration and choice.
So soon, all the fellow disciples had chosen the empires they wanted to go to.
Of course, Qinglian, Houtu, and several of their fellow disciples did not choose any empire.
soon,
The banquet came to an end and concluded.
...
That night,
Qinglian went to find her master alone. After entering the room, for some reason, perhaps it was Qinglian's stammering and her slightly flushed cheeks, or perhaps... in any case, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.
