Chapter 150: The Saint of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Lintian’s former enemy, mediates the Book of Creation
On the high platform, the light was hazy. Li Ran waved his hand, and a huge chessboard suddenly appeared in the void.
The black and white pieces were crisscrossed in the middle, and seemed to have transformed into two real dragons, fighting there, making bursts of dragon roars.
On the left and right of the two real dragons, one can see streams of air of different colors entangled, as if they are assisting, or as if they are dormant, ready to devour the dragons at any time.
Deep in the chessboard, blood flashes are visible, black fog rises, and the aura of wildness lingers. From time to time, clear fairy light and starlight can be seen wandering around, and occasionally there are signs of soaring into the sky and overwhelming the two dragons.
Prime Minister Jiang Lintian looked at the chessboard in front of him, his eyes seemed to be deducing something. Many scenes flashed by, and finally his brows were slightly frowned.
This chessboard represents the general trend of heaven and earth, and the black and white dragons are naturally the two emperors who will compete in the future.
The chess game was so complicated and the situation so chaotic that it was unprecedented. Even with his level of cultivation, he could still feel the hidden malice in the dark.
But he couldn't figure out where the malice came from.
"The world is undergoing a great change. According to calculations, the land of Jiuzhou should be the center of this world. The Great Xia Dynasty occupies the most favorable terrain of Zhongtianzhou, and it will inevitably become a battleground for all parties in the future."
"After the Middle Ages, many ancient Taoist sects disappeared, but I have a feeling that it won't be long before their disciples appear in the world and try to interfere with the overall situation. I will open the plane coordinates for them and lead them back."
"Lintian, you have made plans for the Great Xia Dynasty, and you must not make any mistakes. Queen Xia is a very good chess piece. She has inherited the destiny of an ancient emperor."
"In the future scenario that I have deduced, she will be the common ruler of the world. If the Prime Minister's Mansion fights against her, it will be going against the will of heaven and will inevitably bring disaster upon itself."
"Now that she and Lan'er have been married, the fate of the Xiangguo Mansion has been entangled with Daxia in the dark. Even I can't see Lan'er's fate now. It is not covered by anything, but there are many powerful fortunes entangled with him..."
"Of course, this is not a bad thing. After all, even you have come to this point today because of countless opportunities and good fortunes. Lan'er's opportunities are no less than yours. Some of his secrets are so real that even I find it difficult to find out."
Li Ran waved his hand gently, and the chessboard in the void in front of him suddenly disappeared.
"Father is a saint of the time. What he sees is naturally different from what we see."
"Lan'er got a glimpse of the will of the future and saw a lot of future scenes. He was foresighted and took advantage of the opportunities. Naturally, he got a lot of opportunities. This is also his own good fortune."
Jiang Lintian also looked very respectful towards Li Ran.
The eighth realm is called the Tribulation Bridge Realm. In ancient times, the cultivators who entered this realm were also called great powers.
There are nine steps in the Jieqiao realm. Just by taking the first step, one can enjoy a lifespan of three thousand years. One can already feel the Tao in the dark, and his methods can be completely described as incredible.
Every time you survive a disaster, your strength will undergo a drastic change.
In the ancient classification, the first three steps of Jieqiao Realm were collectively referred to as great powers and giants.
The middle six steps are called the most powerful power, and the last three steps are called the supreme power.
When one reaches the level of supreme power, one can truly act freely in the void, travel through it at will, and possess all kinds of mysterious divine power like the creation of life and death.
In today's land of Kyushu, the existence of the Eighth Realm Tribulation Bridge Realm is extremely rare, standing proudly at the top.
Even among those top-level immortal sects and ancient families, there are figures like ancestors who have profound heritage and sit in the deepest part of the clan and will not show up easily.
For example, the ninth level of Yuhua Realm is truly invincible in the world and is also called the Saint of Heaven and Earth.
Its lifespan is over ten thousand years. It can open up paradise in the void, nurture small worlds, and create life and death, and is omnipotent.
Since ancient times, only families that have given birth to saints can have a foundation that is indestructible and immortal throughout the ages.
The strength and foundation of a family headed by a contemporary saint are even more unimaginable.
"No one can predict the future. The future that Lan'er saw is just one of the possibilities he can see."
“The moment he makes a choice and takes action, the future he sees is no longer the future he knows. Everything is changing, and no one can truly grasp the future.”
"Even I can only vaguely glimpse some possibilities of the future."
Jiang Lintian and Li Qingshu also informed Li Ran about what happened to Jiang Lan, so it was no longer a secret between them.
"As the present world progresses, the future that Lan'er saw is no longer possible. In the future, the culprit who caused the destruction of the Xiangguo Mansion has also died."
"The real future is always in the hands of the present." Li Ran said calmly.
"Father is right." Jiang Lintian looked like he was humbly accepting instruction.
"This time I came here, besides for Lan'er's wedding and to see him, I actually have another thing to tell you." Li Ran looked at Jiang Lintian, his eyes flashing with profound meaning.
"What father is referring to is... the matter of Huangfu Hao?" Jiang Lintian's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of something.
Hearing this name, Li Qingshu beside him frowned, with murderous intent flashing in her eyes, and said coldly, "It's really a tough nut to crack. He's obviously dead, but he still refuses to rest in peace."
"It seems you have noticed it."
Li Ran nodded slightly, and moved his fingers. A faint light flickered around, and he was calculating something. He said, "You were not originally the person of destiny in your generation. With your aptitude, it is not easy to reach your current level."
Hearing this, Jiang Lintian nodded and agreed, "Father is right, but if Huangfu Hao hadn't appeared out of nowhere and robbed me of many opportunities, causing my destiny to be missing the most important link, I wouldn't have used the method of Yunchao to condense the foundation of my transformation."
"Although Huangfu Hao is a man of destiny, he is not invincible. He schemed against me, and I schemed against him. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I have obtained his qualifications and destiny, which is also my chance and good fortune."
"I had already sensed his presence several months ago. After falling into the depths of the Demonic Abyss, he should not have died completely. A man of destiny has good fortune on his side. Even if he is at the end of his rope, he can still encounter something extraordinary."
"However, even if he comes back now, he is still no match for me. If I can kill him once, I can kill him a second time."
Li Ran smiled meaningfully, and said with some emotion, "Lintian, your cultivation strength is indeed different from before. Maybe in the future, you will be able to reach my level."
"Who would have thought that the most ordinary one among my disciples would defeat the most brilliant one among them and marry my daughter, bringing her home with him..."
Jiang Lintian smiled and said, "Qingshu helped me a lot in the past. Without her help, it would not be easy for me to defeat Huangfu Hao with my previous background and strength."
Hearing this, Li Qingshu immediately rolled her eyes at him.
Jiang Lintian also smiled, stretched out his hand to hold her, and felt a little emotional. The return of the former enemy might indeed be fate.
But so what? Now he can suppress it with ease.
"Next, I will be in seclusion for a while. After Lan'er finishes his work, let him go back to Taiyi Sect."
Seeing that Jiang Lintian was confident, Li Ran didn't say anything more. After leaving these words, he tore through the void and floated away.
"Huangfu Hao has made a comeback, and he will definitely not show up easily to fight me head-on. Although the Demon Abyss is guarded by various princes and seems stable, there is a possibility that a demonic disaster will break through the seal and wreak havoc at any time. With Huangfu Hao's personality, he is likely to hide in the dark and plan something."
"When he fled that day, he was carrying several rare treasures from heaven and earth. One of them is of great help to Lan'er's current practice."
Jiang Lintian casually dismissed all his men here and began to think.
"Husband, are you referring to the Book of Mediation?"
Li Qingshu guessed something, her eyes sparkling, and she said, "That is indeed a good thing. We must find a way to catch Huangfu Hao and take it from him. It is said that it is a rare treasure born from the collision of chaos during the catastrophe of heaven and earth. Although it is a book, it contains a complete space inside. As long as you escape into it, you can avoid all detection and attack. It is an excellent life-saving item..."
Jiang Lintian nodded and said, "Huangfu Hao didn't die after falling into the Demonic Abyss. It is very likely that the rare treasure of heaven and earth protected him."
"Lan'er has more and more secrets, and even his father can't see through them clearly. The more karma he is involved in, the more he will inevitably encounter an unimaginable catastrophe in the future. The way of heaven emphasizes balance and restraint. Everything you eat and drink has cause and effect."
"Father bestowed the Dragon and Phoenix Immortal Armor on Lan'er. He probably anticipated this. You and I owe him too much. No matter what, we must pave this path for him..."
…
The day after the Fengjun Ceremony ended, the ministers in the court thought that Empress Xia would rest for a few days and would not attend court, but they did not expect that she would appear in the hall in high spirits.
She also personally reviewed the memorials that had already been handed over to the Secretariat and other departments, and asked about the recent situation in various parts of Daxia.
This surprised all the ministers and they secretly guessed the reason.
However, as Emperor Xia's cultivation became more and more profound, the dragon energy enveloped her like a furnace, and no one dared to investigate easily and offend the emperor.
King Xiao He of Zhenbei, Duke Zhongguo and others reported the situation related to the Blood Immortal Sect as instructed, and also informed them of the situation of the barbarians in Southern Wilderness Province.
In addition, after the major immortal sects have investigated and determined that they have no connection with the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect, they also need the personal permission of Emperor Xia to release them.
The morning court session ended only after many important matters were dealt with.
Many ministers were worried about the turmoil in the court, but Prime Minister Jiang Lintian never expressed his opinion from beginning to end, as if he really intended to assist Emperor Xia.
Such a scene did not make them feel at ease at all. Instead, they felt that greater turmoil and chaos were brewing.
The royal family and other princes will not allow the Prime Minister's Mansion to dominate alone.
Emperor Xia’s attitude does not represent the attitude of the royal family.
In the imperial dining hall, Jiang Lan and Emperor Xia, who had just finished his morning court session, were having breakfast and chatting casually.
Emperor Xia tactfully did not ask any further questions about what happened between Jiang Lan and Jiang Ruxian last night.
She had already realized that Jiang Ruxian's possessiveness had reached a terrifying level that could no longer be described as simple paranoia.
In this situation, she can only rely on Jiang Lan to help her restrain Jiang Ruxian.
"I intend to let Xiao Teng, the son of the King of Zhenbei, make amends for his crime. After all, it was he who mistakenly trusted the heir of the Blood Immortal Sect, which led to the failure of my plan and the loss of the Dragon Seal."
"He has a grudge against her, and for both public and private reasons, he will spare no effort to investigate..."
Emperor Xia put down the soup spoon in his hand, and the maid beside him handed him a piece of clean silk and wiped his mouth.
She told him her plan. No matter how chaotic the situation in the court was, Prime Minister Jiang Lintian would be there to stabilize it. She didn't have to spend as much energy on it as before, so she could use her time to improve her cultivation strength.
In addition to the grand plan of hunting the barbarians in the south, the next thing to do is to settle accounts with the Blood Immortal Sect and secretly retrieve the Dragon-Suppressing Seal. These two things are of utmost importance.
"Xiao Teng?"
Jiang Lan had long guessed that Emperor Xia would make such an arrangement, and said, "If Your Majesty still trusts him, then arrange for him to go."
Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows and said, "I forgot that there is a lot of private grudge between you and Xiao Teng. You became enemies because of the matter of Xie Jianjia, and you also caused a lot of friction and fighting in private."
Jiang Lan said indifferently, "Since Your Majesty knows about this, why are you still asking for my opinion? Xiao Teng can't be trusted, and the Zhenbei Palace can't be trusted either."
"The King of Zhenbei was promoted by me. He is loyal and devoted. It is not his fault that the Dragon Seal was lost."
"The hatred between you and Xiao Teng is not an irreconcilable one. Could it be that you are still thinking about Xie Jianjia because of the Immortal Phoenix blood in her body?" Emperor Xia looked at him and said.
"The Immortal Phoenix Blood is not important."
"The Xie family colluded with the devil and deserves death for this crime. Then Xie Jianjia was hidden by Xiao Tengxue. Doesn't Your Majesty know about this?" Jiang Lan said casually.
"Humph, this is a deliberate frame-up by the Prime Minister's Mansion with no evidence at all. Do you really think I don't know?" Emperor Xia looked very dissatisfied.
Jiang Lan shook his head slightly, with an expression that said he was a child who could not be taught, and seemed too lazy to explain. He said, "In this case, if Your Majesty insists on believing Xiao Teng, then if there is a problem again, don't come to me for help."
"you……"
Emperor Xia stood up in anger. How many years has it been since there was any news or trace of demons in the territory of Great Xia?
It was obvious that it was the Xiangguo Mansion that deliberately framed the Xie family, causing them to be thrown into prison.
Jiang Lan is still so stubborn.
"I'm going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Jiang Lan ignored her, drank the soup slowly, took the silk from the palace maid beside her, and wiped her mouth.
He was still thinking about the meteorite containing the true blood of the Immortal Phoenix in the hands of Fairy Miaoyin. There was nothing good to stay in the palace. Besides, he had to think carefully about his next plan.
Things in the imperial capital have almost been dealt with.
"Your feet are on your body, and no one can stop you."
Queen Xia snorted coldly, then stood up and left, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids. She had made her angry so early in the morning, and now she didn't want to see Jiang Lan either.
I'm a bit stuck in the writer's block and not in good shape. I'll sort out the subsequent plot and try to update 10,000 words tomorrow.
