Before Jing Zhe traveled through time, or when he was still a child, he watched those historical dramas and fantasized about becoming an emperor. After all, he could eat whatever he wanted, and everyone in the world would have to obey him. Most importantly, an emperor has three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. That's what so many men dream of.
However, when Jing Zhe actually transmigrated, he didn't care much for the throne.
Three palaces and six courtyards? He can't even count the number of women on one hand—no, not even on two hands, and every single one of them is a stunning beauty. Their quality is far superior to any three palaces and six courtyards.
Moreover, Jing Zhe prefers his current unrestrained lifestyle. If he were to become emperor, there would be too many restrictions. He would have to be supervised every day, and in his view, it would be no different from being in prison.
So after realizing what he had done, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I can't do it, I'm not capable of it! I have no experience as an emperor."
Seeing his frightened appearance amused Su Mochen, Lu Li, and Pei Yunxi; it was rare to see him afraid.
Su Mochen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Look how scared you are. Is it really that big of a deal? Besides, who is born an emperor?"
No matter what she said, Jing Zhe waved his hand and said, "Whether others can do it or not, I'm not doing it!"
"Fine, if you don't want to do it, then don't!"
Su Mochen didn't really want Jing Zhe to do it, because she understood Jing Zhe's personality. They were similar; she was tired of living in the deep palace every day, so how could Jing Zhe like it?
So he said, "But even if we don't become emperor, we can't let those people become emperor! At worst, I'll become emperor and then let your son inherit the throne! Anyway, with Prime Minister Zhu, Second Sister, and Fifth Sister assisting us, I'm at ease!"
"..."
Well, Su Mochen has thought quite far ahead, already considering having children. But that's a good idea. If he can't be the emperor, being the emperor's father is a good alternative!
Lu Li and Pei Yunxi also spoke up: "We can talk about whether you want to have children later. Right now, the most important thing is to get to Jingzhou. We don't want to get involved in the matter between Prince Jin and the Crown Prince, but we must avenge the grudge between Prince Jin and our Jing family!"
"..."
After listening, Jing Zhe nodded. Whether or not he would become emperor was a matter for later. The most urgent task now was to kill the Prince of Jin and avenge himself!
Before the Prince of Jin rebelled, Jing Zhe felt he had many opportunities to kill him, but at that time he had no suitable reason—killing the Prince of Jin privately would be treason, and he had so many women, he couldn't bear the consequences of treason.
Now, the Prince of Jin has rebelled, and he has a reason to kill him, but the Prince of Jin has become a Grandmaster, and he no longer has the power to kill him.
Feeling somewhat resentful, he turned and asked, "If the four of us join forces, wouldn't it be easy to kill them?"
Pei Yunxi wasn't very familiar with the skills of Prince Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader, so she remained silent. Lu Li and Su Mochen exchanged a glance, then shook their heads seriously: "No."
Lu Li said, "I saw everything when you fought them that day. Even when you were in top form, you were no match for either Prince Jin or Sect Leader Qingyang! Although you are both Grandmasters, their realms are clearly higher than yours!"
Su Mochen also said, "My fourth sister and I are both at the middle stage of the sixth level, while my eldest sister is at the peak of the sixth level. It seems that she is only one level away from the Grandmaster, but in fact, once the realm is crossed, the difference is like heaven and earth. Moreover, compared with the Grandmaster, the sixth level is far superior. Even if the three of us join forces, we are afraid that we will be no match for the Grandmaster. At most, we can only make it less easy for him."
After listening, Jing Zhe felt immense pressure.
He then asked with some curiosity, "I understand that there are different realms below the Grandmaster level, but there's only one realm above the Grandmaster level, so why are they stronger than me?"
Below the Grandmaster level, it seems that each realm is divided into three levels. Even within the same level of six, there are three levels: initial, intermediate, and peak. However, above the Grandmaster level, there are no such levels. It's understandable that a mid-level Grandmaster can't beat a peak Grandmaster, but how can a Grandmaster be defeated by another Grandmaster?
After he finished speaking, Lu Li didn't say anything this time, but Su Mochen said, "Actually, there are also different levels above the Grandmaster level."
"There are also different levels? Then why has this never been mentioned in the martial arts world?"
The three levels of each realm are well known to anyone who practices martial arts, as they are common knowledge in the martial arts world. However, no one has introduced the Grandmaster realm, which led Jing Zhe to believe that all realms above the Grandmaster level are the same.
Su Mochen shook his head and said, "The reason why there is no introduction to Grandmasters in the martial arts world is because there are only a few Grandmasters in the world. And those who have truly become Grandmasters have long since retired from worldly affairs, so why would they tell others such things?"
Jing Zhe nodded and said, "So you mean that the Grandmaster realm, like other realms, is roughly divided into three levels, and that the Jin King and the Qingyang Sect Leader's realms are higher than mine?"
Su Mochen nodded in agreement, saying, "Mount Changsheng is full of rare flowers and herbs. Prince Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader have been able to continuously improve their skills by relying on these herbs over the years. After years of cultivation, they should be at the peak of the Grandmaster level. You, on the other hand, are at most at the middle stage of the Grandmaster level, so you can't beat one of them. Our master is also at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and he reached that level more than ten years ago."
"..."
Jing Zhe and Su Mochen's master, the Old Medicine Boy, was a big boss-like figure. Because of this, Su Mochen knew more than others.
After listening, Lu Li suddenly realized: "Their cultivation level is one level higher than Zhe'er's. Zhe'er used up most of his internal energy the day before yesterday, but he was still able to escape from them. Besides the grenades that created chaos, the most important reason is that Zhe'er's lightness skill is better than theirs, which offset part of the difference in cultivation level!"
Su Mochen nodded and said, "Yes, my husband's lightness skill has reached the peak of 'Following the Wind,' a level that ordinary people have never reached, so he has an advantage in a real fight. However, the advantage of lightness skill is far from enough to compensate for the gap brought about by the difference in cultivation level. It can buy time, but it is not enough to reverse the battle!"
Jing Zhe was somewhat disheartened after hearing this: "According to Mo Chen, you, your eldest sister, and your fourth sister are only at the peak of the sixth level. Your cultivation level is not only across multiple levels but also three levels lower than theirs! Even if the three of you were to fight one of them, you wouldn't be a match for them. And I can't beat any one of them either. Even with the help of grenades, we still can't kill Prince Jin! Could it be that we have to find our master and join forces with him?"
"..."
