"I'm not going back to the capital. Send someone back to the capital to tell my father, the Emperor, that I'm going to the Taichu Dynasty!"
"I will become a legion commander of the Primordial Dynasty, expanding its territory and crushing all sects!"
"The common people are not ants in the eyes of sects, nor are dynasties something sects can trample on at will!"
Zhao Lingjun stood up gracefully and said in a firm and resounding voice.
"..."
Jing Heng's expression changed drastically, and he said urgently, "Your Highness, you can't say such things carelessly..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"This is my residence; no one will hear us here."
"What I just said is what I truly believe!"
"I do not wish for the dynasty, nor for the people of the world, to look up to the sects, to be at the mercy of the sects, or to be bleed dry by them!"
Zhao Lingjun snorted coldly and said, "I didn't have the opportunity before, which is why I stayed here at Zhenju Pass."
Now that I see an opportunity, I will not let it slip by!
Jing Heng sighed and stopped talking. He knew he couldn't persuade Zhao Lingjun.
Even the Emperor of Yue couldn't persuade Zhao Lingjun, let alone him.
However, Zhao Lingjun's words struck Jing Heng's heart like a thunderbolt. As a Yue general who still had passion in his heart, he also wanted to do what Zhao Lingjun said.
A dynasty doesn't need to look up to a sect, doesn't need to be subservient to a sect, and certainly doesn't need to be exploited by a sect!
However, such a thing could never be done in the Yue Kingdom.
This is also why Zhao Lingjun wanted to go to the Taichu Dynasty.
"Alright, Jingheng, I have finished speaking. To maintain secrecy, you do not need to tell my father what I just said."
"You only need to tell him that I have gone to the Primordial Dynasty, and that will be enough."
Zhao Lingjun was silent for a moment, then spoke to Jing Heng, who was also silent.
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"
Jing Heng's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a firm and resolute voice.
Zhao Lingjun nodded slightly and walked out of the hall, saying as he went, "Summon the Heavenly Phoenix Guards!"
This sound echoed throughout the entire Princess's residence.
Zhao Lingjun's cultivation level had already reached the peak of the Aperture Opening Realm, so achieving this was naturally not a difficult task.
No sooner had he finished speaking than figures appeared from all directions.
It was just a fleeting moment.
Three hundred Heavenly Phoenix Guards, swords at their waists, dressed in close-fitting attire, some with bright eyes and white teeth, others with elegant and refined beauty, appeared before Zhao Lingjun and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"From now on, please don't call me Your Highness anymore, just call me Miss."
Looking at the three hundred Heavenly Phoenix Guards, whose cultivation levels were all at least at the Lesser Completion of the Innate Realm and whose ages ranged from sixteen to twenty, Zhao Lingjun said with a satisfied expression on her pretty face, "I will take you to the Primordial Dynasty."
"If I were to harm the Primordial Dynasty, I would no longer be a princess; I would be just an ordinary general of the Primordial Dynasty."
"Yes, Miss!"
The three hundred Heavenly Phoenix Guards shouted in unison.
"The Heavenly Phoenix Guard has also been officially renamed. From now on, it will be called the Yao Guang Guard!"
"Now, I'm giving you fifteen minutes to pack your things and change into men's clothing."
Zhao Lingjun addressed the three hundred Yao Guang Guards.
She claimed to be just an ordinary general in the Taichu Dynasty, but her goal was to become the commander of the Yaoguang Legion, the last legion in the Taichu Dynasty named after the Big Dipper.
"yes!"
The three hundred Yao Guang Guards responded and then quickly disappeared.
Zhao Lingjun also disappeared from the spot. As the eldest princess of Yue Kingdom, if she joined the Taichu Dynasty, she would naturally no longer be able to use her current identity and would need to change her identity. This is why she renamed the Tianfeng Guard and made them dress as men.
Once her identity is exposed, it could very likely implicate the Yue Kingdom, which is something Zhao Lingjun cannot accept.
Jing Heng remained silent for a long while, bowed, and then left the Princess's residence. He arranged for a trusted confidant to go to the capital to report Zhao Lingjun's trip to the Taichu Dynasty to the Emperor of Yue.
Fifteen minutes later.
Dressed in men's clothing, the handsome and peerless Zhao Lingjun rode a warhorse, leading three hundred dashing Yao Guang Guards disguised as women towards the Tai Chu Dynasty.
The same scene has occurred in many other places.
One by one, those hidden within the mortal dynasties, whether unknown or possessing considerable talent, holding high positions, were either reclusive cultivators who had been diligently cultivating, or ordinary cultivators within sects. They all quietly departed with their families or alone, heading towards the Primordial Dynasty.
It can be said that the opening of the civil and military examinations by the Taichu Dynasty has caused a sensation throughout the Burial Land of Immortals, drawing out all sorts of people.
Time flies, and soon it was time for the three of them—Taoist Taiyuan, Venerable Vajra, and Nie Zhanlong—to meet.
"What did you two see?"
Standing atop a tall building in Yanjing, the capital of the Taichu Dynasty, the Taoist Taiyuan looked down at the city's twinkling lights and spoke expressionlessly.
"Like oil being poured over a raging fire, or flowers being adorned with brocade!"
Nie Zhanlong said with a solemn expression.
"Yes, it's like cooking oil over a raging fire, or adorning flowers with brocade."
"It is precisely because our Burial Ground of Immortals has never produced a dynasty of destiny."
"The birth of the Primordial Dynasty was like lighting a pile of dry tinder, causing the entire Burial Land of Immortals to be engulfed in flames."
"If we don't extinguish this fire soon, countless people in the Burial Ground of Immortals will be affected, and the number of those implicated will be innumerable!"
