Chapter 208: The Barbarians' Ambition, the Heavens' Disaster, You Can Call Me the Emperor of Heaven
"Reporting to Barbarian, according to our spies, Taiyi Sect's Saint Jiang Lan appeared on the ninth floor of the Cloud Sea Stone Forest in Xiluzhou. Then, in front of everyone, he pushed open a magnificent immortal door and left in a golden light. That day, many cultivators snatched the treasures that gushed out there, including some rare elixirs and magic tools..."
"As for whether that portal is the legendary portal to heaven, there are many different opinions. There are all kinds of theories."
In the grand and solemn hall, the burly barbarian warrior knelt on the ground and answered with great respect.
"The ancient heaven has long since collapsed, and the heavens have also been destroyed and collapsed. There is no such thing as a gate to heaven. He may have just found the remains of an ancient Taoist sect, and used this to trigger an astonishing phenomenon."
The young man sitting on the throne thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "This man is shrouded in mystery and his fate is unpredictable. The deal between the Unshang Demon God and our Barbarian Crow God that day was probably disrupted by him. The Freedom Ancient Symbol in the Demon Abyss is probably also obtained by him."
Hearing this, the strong barbarian who was kneeling below immediately asked, "The Ancient Talisman of Freedom was something you planned, barbarian. Now that he has obtained it, it has destroyed your grand plan."
"It just so happens that he has now appeared in Xiluzhou. Should we gather our strong men and sneak over there to see if we can find a way to surround and kill him, solve this great threat, and take back the Freedom Ancient Talisman?"
The young man waved his hand and said, "He has become a powerful figure. Even I don't know what cards and methods he has. Unless I do it myself, it will be difficult to stop him. If you go, you will just die."
"Besides, there are more important things to do right now. It is not worth spending too much energy and effort to deal with Jiang Lan. Even if he is really the future Heavenly Emperor, he still has a long way to go if he wants to be invincible. The world has changed, and anyone can become the Heavenly Emperor. Before the real future emerges, no one can predict what will happen..."
His tone was calm, but his eyes were deep and experienced, which did not match his youthful appearance.
The barbarian warrior who knelt on the ground, his face full of fanaticism and reverence, kowtowed and said, "My barbarian tribe has assembled 30 million barbarian troops on the border between Nanhuangzhou and Nanmozhou. In Nanmozhou, some sect forces have been secretly controlled by the priests of various tribes. As long as you give the order, my barbarian army can rush into Zhongtianzhou at any time and massacre the human race..."
The young man knocked lightly on the throne, his eyes deep, and said, "Thirty million barbarian troops are far from enough, and the timing is not yet ripe. The Demon Abyss needs an opportunity to break through. Let the demons take action first, otherwise my barbarian warriors will just sacrifice in vain and let them get away with it."
"Only when the Demonic Abyss erupts completely and the infinite karma it brings with it can allow the Barbarian God of my Barbarian Tribe to tear through the blockade of the will of the Nine Provinces and descend upon us."
"I have a premonition that the will of the Kyushu land beneath my feet is gradually reviving. It will soon communicate with the will of the heavens, and then infect the heavens and reorganize the heavens. All the universes and worlds in the heavens will not be able to escape the fate of withering and exhaustion."
"In front of the supreme will of the heavens, any world is as fragile as a piece of waste paper. It is impossible to resist."
"At that time, all the barbarian gods of my barbarian tribe will welcome the return of the twelve barbarian ancestors. The world will change, and the barbarians who were once expelled from the heavens will rule this era again."
At the end of his words, the young man couldn't help but stand up from the throne, with ambition and fire burning in the depths of his eyes.
"My barbarian tribe is the master of this land."
All the powerful barbarians who were kneeling and bowing in the hall were filled with excitement and blood boiling, as if they had already seen the day in the future when the flames of war would rise to the sky, and the barbarian cavalry warriors would rush to all directions like a tide, and the barbarian battle flags would fill the land beneath their feet.
For all the barbarians in Southern Wilderness State, the young man in front of them is the leader bestowed by the Barbarian God to them, and the future Barbarian Emperor who will rule over all the barbarians.
The young man's name is Shenci. He has no father. In a sense, his birth carries all the will and destiny of the barbarians.
His mother took shelter in the Barbarian Temple late one night during a thundering and lightning season. When she woke up the next day, she found that she was pregnant.
Three months later, the young man in front of us was born.
As soon as he was born, divine light appeared in all the barbarian temples of the barbarians. Rays of blessed divine light descended and gathered in his body, opening up his wisdom from previous lives.
In addition, he was born with the barbarian bones that the barbarians dreamed of. There were a total of 305 pieces of barbarian bones in his body. Each of the bones contained a clear barbarian pattern, and in his hand he was holding a companion barbarian god bead.
All barbarians, regardless of their strength or noble bloodline, facing him is like facing the ancestor who is the source of their bloodline.
In just a few years, he unified the major tribes of the barbarians, ended the chaotic internal strife among the barbarians, and built many barbarian cities and temples.
Afterwards, like the human race, they divided the territories of the barbarians, granted power to the chiefs of the barbarian tribes, and built the current royal court of the barbarians in the Barbarian Valley, so that all the major tribes that believed in different barbarian tribes and totems obeyed the constraints and rule one by one.
Under his management and rule, the barbarians who were once scattered and chaotic everywhere have become a terrifying force that all the immortal sects and major states now fear.
The Great Xia Dynasty in Zhongtianzhou is facing unprecedented oppression.
…
"The Confucian and Taoist world ranks in the top 100 among the three thousand worlds today. However, this trial field was left behind by the Confucian and Taoist world in ancient times. When the founder of Confucianism was still alive, it was said that the Confucian and Taoist world was enough to rank in the top ten..."
"How could the Confucian Ancestor, who had become the master of a world, fall? Logically speaking, in the Confucian and Taoist world, the Confucian Ancestor was already a supreme being beyond the Three Realms and not between the Five Elements. As long as the Confucian and Taoist world does not collapse and decay, the Confucian Ancestor will be able to live forever."
"I can't imagine that a person like this will one day fall and die."
"The gods are subject to the five declines, and so are the world masters themselves. Only by truly ascending to heaven can one achieve eternal immortality."
"Ascend to the Immortal Realm, but what is an immortal?"
"I heard from my master that immortal is no longer a state of mind. It is a title for crossing the sea of suffering and reaching the other side. Immortals cannot appear in the world..."
"On the way to heaven, a true immortal can only go through nine heavenly tribulations, wash away the cause and effect of the world, shed the worldly heart, and cut off worldly thoughts. Only by illuminating the immortal heart in front of the immortal pool in front of heaven can one pass through the last sea of suffering..."
"How mysterious! No wonder there are no legends of immortals in this world anymore."
"Why think so much? For us, if we can break through the seventh realm before the age of 500, we can get the fragment of the small world given by the sect. With a fragment of the small world, we can open up our own paradise in time and space. Without the support of paradise, once the tide of time and space comes, even the most powerful cultivation will turn into ashes."
"That's true. I wonder if the trial field left by this Confucian and Taoist world has been searched by anyone..."
Among the vast and majestic mountains, there are many peaks and many palaces and pavilions. On the top of some peaks, there are martial arts fields and fighting arenas. However, they are all covered with traces of time and many places are covered with dead leaves.
Two figures in green shirts with a blue-grey token hanging from their waists were flying through the mountains. They were talking as they flew, and they looked young, probably only around twenty years old.
One of them was a little younger, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips, white teeth, a fair and clean complexion, and eyes full of longing.
Around them, there was a layer of faint gray mist, with time and space fluctuations flickering in it. It was obviously some kind of rare treasure that helped them resist the pressure of this alien space and time.
"Brother, look..."
Suddenly, the younger disciple pointed at the glowing area in front and shouted in great surprise.
It was an extremely spectacular complex of buildings, with the Red Building and Fragrant Hill, cloud peaks shrouded in mist, and rosy clouds. The mountains were hidden deep in the rosy clouds and mist, and there were also colorful exquisite buildings located at higher places. In a trance, it seemed as if immortals were preaching among them.
Looking from their direction, they could see auspicious clouds of five colors - blue, white, red, black and yellow - rising and lingering, as if there was a human figure sitting quietly in them.
"Be quiet."
The older man opened his eyes wider and stared at the place intently, as if he was worried that his voice might be too loud and alert the immortal there.
The two reacted quickly and did not dare to continue flying through the sky, so they quickly landed among the mountains.
"Brother, this place doesn't look like it has been searched. Are the light and fog figures there real or fake? Why do I feel like there is someone sitting cross-legged there?"
"Is this a strange phenomenon? Or is there a senior practicing here?"
The younger disciple asked in a low voice with a nervous look on his face, not daring to move forward easily.
"We were able to enter this place by accident thanks to that space-time rift. We thought we would be hunted down by our enemies and would surely die, but who would have thought that at the critical moment, we would encounter a rare space-time rift..."
"This place is filled with the mighty Confucian spirit. The noise just now was probably caused by the elders from the Confucian and Taoist world cultivating here."
"We should not touch the things here. The monks of the Confucian and Taoist worlds are upright and very polite. As long as we don't offend them, there shouldn't be any trouble."
The older man pondered for a moment and then felt relieved.
The younger disciple nodded, and then the two looked at each other. Although they were nervous, they still went towards the area where the light mist had dissipated and the five-colored auspicious clouds had burst out.
"How could an outsider come into this Confucian ruins?"
On the upper floor of the colorful and exquisite pavilion, Jiang Lan sat quietly, his robe spotless.
In front of him, there were many ancient scrolls lying flat. On each book, there appeared the shadow of a Confucian scholar with a tall hat and a wide belt, with an elegant demeanor, muttering to himself and telling him about the Confucian principles.
It has been three days since Jiang Lan entered this place. Based on his memory of this place, he found the place where the scriptures were interpreted without any effort.
The layers of tests outside were meaningless considering his current level of cultivation.
However, if he wants to obtain the Confucian heritage of this place, he still needs to pass the six tests of etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. Fortunately, he has absorbed the wisdom and experience of many predecessors, so it is not difficult for him to cope with it.
Now the only thing left is the “number”.
"The communication between these two people just now was not in the language of the Kyushu land, but by capturing the fluctuations of their divine thoughts, we can understand what they are saying."
"It seems that a cultivator from another world accidentally stepped into this place. If I were a little slower, would the Confucian heritage here be taken away by someone else first?"
Jiang Lan's mind soon calmed down. He didn't know which world the two came from, or what their cultivation realms were called, but according to the division of the land of Kyushu, the two were at most at the fifth realm in terms of cultivation strength.
So he didn't take it to heart at all.
But now, I can't let them disturb me.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lan waved his robe, and four rays of divine light flew out, landing on the ground and transforming into the figures of the four spirits: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
As soon as the four spirit figures appeared, they pounced out from this time, the void buzzing, and rushed towards the place where the two figures were.
“Brother…”
The younger disciple turned pale and shouted loudly, subconsciously trying to resist a faint barrier that lit up in front of him.
But facing the white tiger's phantom, nothing worked and he collapsed in an instant. He was thrown to the ground, his eyes full of panic and fear.
"Don't be afraid, brother. I will protect you."
The older man shouted angrily, and a layer of mysterious yellow light appeared around him, like an inverted bronze bell, but it was equally useless. He was knocked to the ground by a slap from the Xuanwu phantom in an instant.
The shadows of Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird fell to the ground, and one claw stepped on the two men, instantly rendering them unable to move.
"Please forgive me, Senior. We have no intention of disturbing you and have no ill intentions..."
His head instantly came into close contact with the soil, his hands and feet became cold, and he could only stretch his neck as far as possible and keep shouting.
"Brother, this is the Four Spirits Sacred Beast..."
The younger disciples then recognized the four shadows that were rushing towards them. Their faces turned paler and their lips began to tremble.
"Don't worry, this senior has no intention of killing. He probably doesn't want us to get close and disturb him." The senior brother at the side quickly spoke out to comfort him, his heart also filled with shock.
Didn't the Four Spirits Sacred Beasts disappear in the universe long ago? How could they actually witness it with their own eyes today? In the Five Colors Exquisite Building, Jiang Lan closed his eyes and ignored the shouting of the two people outside.
Time passes slowly.
As the many books in front of him closed, rays of light flew out from them, and then around him, phantoms of great Confucian sages appeared one after another. These sages were either holding golden books, or jade volumes, or reading with their heads down, or chanting aloud... Each one was simple and majestic, and the mighty sound like the creation of the world echoed in Jiang Lan's ears.
In the Niwan Palace, the mysterious ancient vine trembled, and one of its tender leaves emitted a dim glow. As Jiang Lan accepted these inheritances, he began to feel the majestic and profound Confucian spirit filling and surrounding him.
Heaven means principle; Emperor is named after the one who dominates all things.
The Emperor of Heaven is a god who speaks for the wonders of all things.
"The Emperor of Heaven, who rules over all things in the world, is supreme among all the heavens and the most powerful in all the worlds..."
"One word can decide the world. His words contain the law of heaven. The Emperor of Heaven has no right or wrong. What he says is the rules and regulations. The Emperor of Heaven has made everything. Therefore, what he agrees with is the truth, and what he denies is a fallacy or error..."
"The true meaning of saying what you say and what the law says is to use your body as the law and your words as the law."
In ancient times, the heaven hung high above all other worlds, supreme. The Emperor of Heaven lived in the center of the heaven, with mighty power overlooking the infinite universe and billions of time and space, and his might radiated across endless planes.
Because the Emperor of Heaven needed to discipline all living beings, doctrines and laws came into being. The Emperor of Heaven promoted Confucianism, so the ancient Confucian sages assisted the Emperor of Heaven in formulating laws and regulations.
Today, this Confucian relic, in a sense, is tinged with the aura of the first time the Emperor of Heaven formulated the law.
Half a day later, Jiang Lan opened his eyes and stood up. The Linglong Building in front of him, which was filled with five-colored divine light, seemed to have lost its original color and became plain and simple.
With a wave of his hand, he took all the Confucian scriptures and books in front of him.
The Confucian heritage of this place is actually contained in the breath that the Emperor of Heaven once used to formulate the laws. As he absorbed that breath, the heritage here also dissipated.
However, these Confucian records and scriptures are still somewhat useful. Some of the magical powers contained in them are still extraordinary if placed in the land of Kyushu today.
A hundred miles away, in the dense forest, ripples appeared in the void, and Jiang Lan's figure walked out of it. The shadows of the four spirits also turned into streams of light and flew back into his hands.
"Hello, senior..."
"My junior brother and I accidentally came here. We had no intention of disturbing your meditation."
When the two men in green shirts saw him appear and walk out, they hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
Although Jiang Lan looks very young, the age of many cultivators in this world cannot be judged by appearance.
Especially in this Confucian site that had been silent for who knows how many years, who knows how long Jiang Lan had been in seclusion? "Where are you from?" Jiang Lan glanced at the two of them casually, and did not let them stand up.
With his current level of cultivation, learning their language is just a matter of thought.
"Reporting to the senior, we are from the Xuanhuang World..." The older man did not dare to hide anything and hurriedly told his origins.
As Jiang Lan was telling his story, he was also verifying it with his own memories.
The Xuanhuang World was once considered one of the top worlds in the heavens, but because of the origin of a world master, it was invaded by other worlds in the heavens. After a great war, all the masters died and the origin of its luck was plundered.
In the years that followed, the spiritual veins of heaven and earth dried up, and spiritual energy dissipated. Although it was a large thousand world, some of the middle thousand worlds were not necessarily prosperous.
These two men came from a sect called Dao Ji Sect in the Xuan Huang World. They went to the outside world for training and tried to explore a secret treasure. As a result, they were attacked by a hostile sect. On their way to escape, they encountered a rift in time and space and fell into this place by accident.
In front of Jiang Lan, the two did not dare to lie.
There is no realm master in the Xuanhuang world, not even a celestial being. Only in the immortal Taoist traditions that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years can there be supreme figures.
For example, the Dao Ji Sect behind them, when it was at its most prosperous, it also had a supreme being in charge, and it was also one of the top overlord-level forces in the Xuanhuang World.
But now, it is estimated that some of the dominant forces in the middle thousand worlds can easily crush them.
The Middle Thousand Worlds cannot give birth to a world master, but they can give birth to a supreme being.
Although the Small Thousand Worlds cannot produce a Supreme Being, they can give birth to a Saint.
Now, like a mighty sun, the light radiates to the ten major worlds in all directions of the heavens, and all of them are governed by world masters.
After hearing their explanation, Jiang Lan just pondered for a moment and had no intention of making things difficult for them.
The Xuanhuang world behind the two people is not the most powerful world in the universe today, and it does not have much reference value.
The land of Jiuzhou is not the same as the heavens. The land of Jiuzhou was transformed from the foundation of the former heaven. The heaven is supreme and rules over all the heavens.
It is precisely because of this that the rules of heaven and earth in the land of Kyushu are too oppressive, resulting in a scarcity of longevity materials.
Even a saint only has a lifespan of ten thousand years. Those holy objects and spiritual plants are even rarer. Only a few tens of thousands of years old can be called the King of Medicine.
Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for cultivators to practice, and even more difficult to become a saint. But once they break through, their cultivation strength can easily crush cultivators in other worlds of the heavens.
In the land of Jiuzhou, if the Taoist tradition wants to continue to be passed down, it needs to open up a small world, develop the family in the small world, and cultivate spiritual plant resources.
With the family's management, the small world will grow stronger and stronger, making it easier for future generations to break through.
"If the Realm Master wants to ascend to the Immortal Realm, he must ascend the Immortal Path. However, as long as the Heaven Realm is not reorganized, the Immortal Path will not appear..."
"The will of the Nine Provinces has been sleeping and recovering. When it wakes up, it will communicate with the will of the heavens. As powerful as the will of the heavens is, it is no more than a prince or a frontier official in front of the will of the heavens. Facing the Son of Heaven, there is no possibility of any resistance."
"Next, the will of the heavens will infect the heavens, provide nutrients for the reorganization of the heavens, and frantically plunder and absorb the origin of the luck of all the worlds in the heavens. The catastrophe of the heavens will also begin..."
Jiang Lan pondered in his heart.
He had other plans and calculations in his mind. After all, the Xuanhuang World behind the two people in front of him could be considered as one of the greatest worlds in the past. Although it had been plundered by other worlds, its foundation was still there. Even the Lord of the World could not destroy the world.
This is still of some use to him, as he can make some arrangements in advance.
"You strayed into this place today, which means you and I have a destiny."
"Everything has its cause and effect. It seems that you will have a lot to do with me in the future, and you will be doomed because of me. In this case, I will give you some pointers, which can be regarded as repaying this cause and effect."
"Thank you, senior."
The two men were stunned for a moment after hearing what they said. After they reacted, they both showed joy on their faces.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Thank me later if you can survive." Jiang Lan put his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.
The two were startled again, and the younger man's face turned pale, thinking that this was Jiang Lan's so-called repayment for karma, and that he wanted to kill the two to silence them.
However, Jiang Lan had no intention of explaining. He waved his hand casually, and a crystal clear ancient jade fell into the hands of that senior brother.
"Senior, what is this?" He looked at the object in his hand with some confusion.
"Next, the world of the heavens will usher in a terrible turbulent catastrophe. All worlds will dry up and the universe will collapse. By then, even the world master will fall like a grass. This ancient jade is my token. You should keep it well. If the catastrophe comes, you can contact me through this item. At that time, I will take action to help the Xuanhuang world behind you to overcome this disaster." Jiang Lan said lightly.
"The catastrophe of the heavens?"
Both of them shuddered when they heard this, their eyes filled with fear, as if they had smelled the scent of disaster and fire.
Although they didn't know what it was, they subconsciously felt that this transcendent senior with a divine appearance and a fairy-like appearance, like a banished immortal, would not lie to them.
"If there is still a realm master in your Xuanhuang World, he should know about this..." Jiang Lan seemed to smile, put his hands behind his back, ignored the two of them, and turned away.
The moment he stepped into the air, the shadows of the Four Holy Beasts emerged, followed by the Four Holy Ancient Chariot emitting seven-colored divine light. The ancient battle flags fluttered, rumbling across the sky and carrying him away.
As the two men stared in stunned and shocked gazes, the four sacred beasts, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise, guarded them on all sides. Their mighty pressure was like a rolling river in the sky, so oppressive that the two men trembled in their hearts and could not help but kneel down.
"I wonder what your name is, Senior?"
Soon, the senior brother holding the ancient jade reacted and shouted loudly.
After a long time, a voice seemed to echo from a distance, "You can call me the Emperor of Heaven."
"Emperor of Heaven?"
When the two heard this, they were stunned for a moment. It seemed as if a supreme majesty had descended from them, filling them with reverence and awe, and they wanted to kowtow to it.
"Brother, isn't the Emperor of Heaven the one who established the heavens and rules over all the heavens?"
After a long time.
The younger disciple seemed to have finally come to his senses, his eyes still filled with shock and fear, and he asked in a trembling voice.
"I don't know either, but the Four Holy Spirit Beasts are indeed the holy beasts that guard the Emperor of Heaven and protect him in legend..."
"Go back to the sect, pay respect to the master and ask him, and you will know the answer."
The senior brother shook his head, his eyes full of awe.
…
"Your Majesty, the barbarians have been active recently. Scouts have noticed that many barbarian gathering places on the border of Southern Wilderness State have been emptied. Several generals are worried that the barbarians are gathering a large army and may make a big move next..."
"In the waters near Nanmozhou, fishermen who go out often encounter attacks. Some people suspect that there are some ancient ruins deep under the sea, and many immortal gates overseas have begun to show traces."
The capital of Daxia.
In the imperial palace, Emperor Xia was wearing a dark red robe, a crown on his head, and his hair simply tied up with a phoenix hairpin, sitting quietly on the throne.
Behind the curtain, a group of ministers came forward one by one to make their reports, all of which were about the recent situation in Nanhuangzhou.
Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the barbarians have always been a major concern for Zhongtianzhou. Every Xia emperor has been eager to lead his troops south to conquer the barbarian tribes and kill them all.
Right now, as the situation in the Demon Abyss of Feixian Island becomes increasingly urgent, Emperor Xia’s original plan to hunt in the south has to be postponed.
During this period, the Seven Star Origin came to the world, and even the female military god Xia Jin who was guarding the Southern Wilderness State was forced to be swept in and had to flee everywhere.
Emperor Xia also had to dispatch generals from other places to garrison there and replace Xia Jin's original position.
These actions also caused some vassal kings and princes of different surnames in Daxia to start to have some ulterior motives. They secretly formed cliques for personal gain and even colluded with some Taoist holy places in other major states.
Although Queen Xia had collected a lot of evidence through the Naxian League and Anhua Pavilion she had established before, she could not easily take action against those vassal kings under the current circumstances.
The situation in Daxia is very complicated. Located in Zhongtianzhou, there are Taoist forces coveting its territory from all directions. It can be said that it is surrounded by wolves. The royal family members and other vassal kings inside also have their own thoughts.
In addition, the secret bag left by the half-immortal whom she had asked to be investigated before has now been found, and it is clear that the late emperor does have a descendant in the world.
To be precise, that heir, her half-brother, is the first-line heir to Daxia.
Unfortunately, until now, Emperor Xia still doesn’t know where her brother is.
The only thing she was sure of was that the Tianxia Alliance that suddenly emerged some time ago was most likely planned and promoted by her brother behind the scenes.
When two dragons stand side by side, there will be casualties. The other party has been hiding in the dark, probably to grow its wings and wipe its fangs, waiting to compete with her for the throne after it becomes strong enough.
Emperor Xia was naturally unwilling to give up the kingdom he had controlled for so long.
The country was plagued by internal and external troubles, and the affairs between the national teacher Ge Qixing and the King of Zhenbei Xiao He had caused a lot of uproar, which damaged the prestige of the country.
After learning of Xiao Teng's death these days, King Xiao He of Zhenbei has become much more haggard. Emperor Xia sent people to visit him and learned that he has been suffering from depression and he probably won't be able to lead troops in battle anymore.
However, those talented people in the Tenglong Academy she founded have not yet grown up and are unable to become the pillars of Daxia and shoulder important responsibilities.
During this period, Queen Xia really missed the days when Jiang Lan was by her side. With him giving her advice and helping her solve her problems, she wouldn't be so worried and exhausted.
I have been working hard all day and all night to deal with affairs, and I have no time to practice.
It's a pity that guy only wants to deceive the king...
After appearing once in Xiluzhou, there has been no news for half a month.
"I already know about these things. I have already sent Situ Ying and Linglong, the commander of the Tianjian Division, to investigate the movements of the barbarians in the Southern Wilderness Province."
"If the barbarians want to gather, it just so happens that the Tiangong Creation Institute has improved the Qianlei Boat recently. Its power is dozens of times greater than before. We can use the barbarians to test the effect."
After a moment, Emperor Xia sighed inwardly and spoke through the curtain.
Fortunately, because of Jiang Lan's existence, the relationship between the Prime Minister's Mansion and her has eased a lot, otherwise she would have even more headaches.
She didn't know if it was because of her participation in the Holy Son Ceremony of Taiyi Sect, but after returning to the imperial capital, Prime Minister Jiang Lintian basically stopped interfering with her orders and arrangements, treating her as if she were one of his own family members, and at the same time giving her more power.
It is precisely because the Prime Minister's people are guarding the North Sea that she is under much less pressure now. Otherwise, the number of sea creatures in the North Sea is overwhelming. If they cooperate with the barbarians to invade, given the current situation in Daxia, it may not be able to resist.
The Xiangguo Mansion, which she had wanted to overthrow in the past, has now become her backer supporting her from behind.
When Emperor Xia thought of this, he couldn't help but feel dazed and unbelievable.
Soon, today's court meeting ended.
Civil and military officials all took their leave.
Emperor Xia glanced at the memorials piled up in front of him and quickly finished reviewing them while multitasking.
Ever since she broke through the eighth realm last time, her cultivation strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. She has also become more efficient in handling memorials and can finish them in less than a cup of tea.
"Chunlan, ask the maid to prepare hot water..."
She rubbed her brows, stood up and left the throne, and casually gave an instruction to Chunlan, the maid beside her.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chunlan went down quickly after hearing that.
Emperor Xia paced in the palace, stretched his body, and then he couldn't help yawning.
Normally speaking, with her current level of cultivation, she would not fall asleep, but she had been dealing with affairs all day long and facing various internal and external troubles during this period, so even she felt a little stressed and did not get enough rest.
Even though there was a scent of sandalwood burning in the hall, which could help to calm the mind and clear the soul, one could not help feeling a little tired.
Fortunately, Chengming Palace is just behind it, and it only takes a few steps to walk there.
Emperor Xia was just about to take a short rest.
Afterwards, she did not let the palace maids follow her, so as to avoid being seen yawning and damaging the dragon's prestige.
As soon as he approached Chengming Palace, he heard a slightly teasing voice coming from inside.
"Your Majesty has devoted all his energy to the governance of the country. You are truly a female Yao and Shun. I really admire you..."
"Jiang Lan?"
Emperor Xia was still feeling a little tired and sleepy, but when he saw the figure in the palace, all of that disappeared in an instant.
Her eyes widened slightly, as if she couldn't believe it. How could he suddenly appear here?
