Chapter 210 You are pressing on my hair, beheading people one after another, the aura of the heavens permeates
"My sister is busy practicing a martial art recently, and she is really unable to get away. I hope you can forgive me..."
"My sister actually missed you very much, so after she got this item, she asked me to come and give it to you as soon as possible."
Chu Yun lowered his head, looking very dull and honest, and answered exactly as his sister Chu Chan had told him to.
"oh?"
"From this point of view, Chan'er is indeed thoughtful."
Jiang Lan smiled.
He vaguely guessed Chu Chan's thoughts. Chu Chan had changed a lot during this period of time. Whether it was her cultivation or her power, it was a huge change compared to before.
Although he did not pay special attention to Chu Chan's every move, he was still able to determine her movements through the feedback of her luck.
Chu Chan is very ambitious. If you want to suppress her, you must be much stronger than her.
At the beginning, Chu Chan attached herself to him not out of sincerity, but because she wanted to borrow his background and power.
During this period of time, Chu Chan did not take the initiative to contact him, and Jiang Lan actually knew some of her thoughts.
And now, Chu Chan took the initiative to hand over the Seven Star Origin she obtained, but she did not show up. This was actually to test Jiang Lan's attitude towards her.
"I'll take the things. Tell your sister later that I don't care about what she thinks. On the contrary, the more powerful she is, the more I appreciate her..."
“Compared to vulgar vases, I prefer vines that wrap around towering trees and even take all the nutrients from the trees for themselves.”
Jiang Lan waved his hand. Although there was a smile on his face, his words were somewhat meaningful.
"I understand. I will tell my sister what the young master said later." Chu Yun lowered his head, but cold sweat quietly appeared on his back.
Jiang Lan nodded, took the Xumi Ring from Chu Yun's hand, played with it casually, and said again, "The Seven Star Origin came to the world, it is a gift from heaven, but it is a crime for an innocent man to possess the treasure. How many creatures in the land of Jiuzhou have fought for this thing, causing bloodshed and destroying families."
"Your sister is a smart person. Ask her to keep the other Seven Star Origin safe to prevent it from leaking out and attracting others to covet it, causing trouble for you."
"Sir, I may not be able to protect her by then."
Chu Yun was shocked when he heard this. Although he tried his best to remain calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil.
He raised his head and glanced at Jiang Lan, only to meet a pair of deep and intriguing eyes.
Chu Yun lowered his head hastily and said, "Yes, I will tell my sister about this later."
He was extremely shocked and horrified, and couldn't understand how Jiang Lan knew that his sister had two Seven-Star Origins.
He originally thought that after offering one, no matter how powerful Jiang Lan was, he would never have imagined that his sister actually had two Seven-Star Origins.
At this moment, Chu Yun was sweating profusely. A gust of wind blew and he felt his back was wet.
When he met Jiang Lan in Anyang City before, he just thought that he was a powerful second-generation rich man who didn't have much ability. But now, everything he saw told him that Jiang Lan was probably one of the most unfathomable people in the world.
How did he know all this? Was he really the future Heavenly Emperor as the rumors said? Chu Yun didn't dare to stay for long. He felt that he couldn't hide his secrets from Jiang Lan.
In front of Jiang Lan, he was like a transparent person.
Soon, Chu Yun said goodbye in a hurry and left without even drinking the tea.
Jiang Lan did not try to keep him. With his current level of cultivation and status, he no longer needed to hide many things as he did before. Showing off in front of others and building a reputation were all preparations for the next plan.
"The origin of Heavenly Power..."
Then, Jiang Lan looked at the misty object sealed in the Sumeru Ring. There were dots of starlight in it, and it was extremely brilliant, like a star that had been shrunk countless times. It was surrounded by a layer of nebula-like substance, which sometimes expanded and sometimes contracted.
Nowadays, the Seven Star Origins have basically appeared in the world. Fa Miaoyin has the Yaoguang Origin, Jiang Yuheng has the Yuheng Origin, Chu Chan has the Tianshu Origin, and the Tianxuan Origin that was previously in Xiao Teng's hands is now in his hands.
With the addition of the Tianquan Origin in front of him, he now has two Seven-Star Origins in his hands.
"If my prediction is correct, the inheritor of Kaiyang Star's origin who appeared in Dongyuanzhou before will eventually die at the hands of Xue Wuchen."
"The origin of Tianji is still missing."
Jiang Lan pondered.
The Seven Star Origin has little meaning and use to him. What he cares about is only the destiny and huge fortune contained in it. After all, Fa Miaoyin is his person and can bring him a lot of fortune in return.
As long as Chu Chan knocks her, she will understand what to do.
Afterwards, he accepted the Origin of Heavenly Power and dismissed all the servants. An invisible force enveloped and spread within the Niwan Palace, wrapping it up.
Jiang Lan began to refine and absorb the luck in the origin of Tianquan.
As for the mysteries of the stars contained therein, he had already mastered it in the process of refining and absorbing its luck.
When he was refining and absorbing the Tianxuan origin before, he had already realized that the inherited fortune corresponding to each of the seven-star origins were similar, but the corresponding star fields in the sky were not the same.
These inherited blessings can help monks cultivate to the level of saints, and there are almost no obstacles in this process.
When Jiang Lan was absorbing and refining, he was actually blending these inherited blessings, integrating them and making them useful for himself.
In the evening, Jiang Lan finished his practice and stepped into the Chengming Hall of the imperial palace. Emperor Xia, dressed in a dark red black bird robe, was sitting with his legs crossed on the large brocade bed. His jade feet, not wearing stockings, were just stepping on the soft carpet covered with brocade. The back of his feet was slender, and his skin was as white as jade, so dazzlingly white that even the faint blood vessels seemed to be visible.
The hall was filled with a pleasant fragrance, which made people think of warm jade and soft flowers under the moon.
Chunlan stood quietly beside Emperor Xia. When she saw Jiang Lan come in, she bowed to him and then tactfully withdrew.
"This morning, I handed over all the affairs of the court to the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Nine Ministers. Starting tomorrow, I will focus on cultivation."
"As for the court meetings, I will let the Prime Minister decide. Starting tomorrow, the ministers will not have to come to court every day. They will only have to attend court once every six months or three months to determine the basic situation of the court..."
After Jiang Lan came in, Queen Xia changed to a more ladylike behavior, put down her crossed legs, and told her her plan.
When she announced this today, there was a stir in the court.
Many ministers thought this was inappropriate and felt it was a sign of being sidelined.
How could it be possible that the emperor would leave all affairs to the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Nine Ministers to handle, and let the Prime Minister preside over court meetings?
At first glance, doesn't this mean that all rights have been directly stripped away?
In the past, the Confucian faction of civil officials, which had always maintained a neutral attitude, also refuted today. Several royal relatives were alarmed and came to stop them.
However, Emperor Xia was very resolute. She also realized that the situation in Da Xia had become so serious that it was difficult to get rid of. If drastic measures were not taken to deal with it, the problem would only become more serious if it was delayed any further.
In the past, she would definitely not have trusted the prime minister so much and let him preside over the court meetings.
But now, even she was able to hold this position securely with the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so her worries were actually useless.
"This is a good thing. From now on, focus on your cultivation. When you are strong enough, you can directly suppress the enemies in the dark with martial arts."
"After all, Daxia is not an ordinary small country. In this world, the size of your fist is what matters most." Jiang Lan agreed with her decision.
If he were to become emperor, the first thing he would do would be to mobilize the entire country to help him practice.
When he is strong enough, he will use his own military force to maintain the operation of the country, deter the villains from all directions, and give back to his own country.
And now Queen Xia is obviously delayed by the many troubles and problems of Da Xia, making them a burden to herself, forcing her to divide her attention on how to deal with and resolve these issues and troubles.
But she forgot that the reason for all these troubles was simply because she was not strong enough.
She was not strong enough, and the princes of various factions, kings of different surnames, and even the national teacher Ge Qixing were all ready to make a move, coveting her position.
It was rare for Emperor Xia not to refute Jiang Lan's words.
"I am only at the first stage of the Jieqiao Realm. I am afraid that the National Master Ge Qixing has already survived six or seven heavenly tribulations. In the battle at the Goddess Palace, he alone forced back four powerful men. The ancestor-level figure at the Goddess Palace is probably also a person who has survived six or seven heavenly tribulations..."
"This is enough to prove that the national teacher's strength is even above that of the general supreme powers." There was some worry in her eyes.
"The world will undergo great changes in the future. As the Lord of Daxia, the benefits you will gain will far exceed anyone else. Your current cultivation level means nothing," Jiang Lan consoled.
Queen Xia was much quieter today than usual. She was dressed in casual clothes, less fierce and aggressive than before, and her features were much softer.
"You can actually comfort me..."
She stretched out her hand and twisted a strand of black hair that fell from her temples around her slender white fingertips. This look made her look more like a daughter that she had never had before.
Jiang Lan smiled and said, "Do you want me to scold you at this time?"
"You dare?" Emperor Xia's eyebrows suddenly raised.
However, looking at Jiang Lan who was smiling the whole time, her expression softened inexplicably, and she said, "Do you think I have always been very mean to you?"
"Although you often help me think about things, give me advice, and help me solve problems, I have always been mean to you and my attitude towards you is not very good..."
When she asked this question, she didn't even notice that her other hand had quietly clenched, as if she was very nervous about the answer to this question.
Jiang Lan seemed unaware that her entire body was tense at this moment.
After hearing this, he thought about it seriously for a while, and then replied, "Sometimes I am really fierce. I have good intentions, but in the end I will be hurt by your harsh words. Then I will wonder if I am being too sentimental and nosy..."
"I……"
Emperor Xia paused when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only interrupt him and said, "No, I never thought you were meddling in my business."
Jiang Lan had a gentle smile on his face all the time, and said, "But I also know that it's just that you are not good at speaking, and you are used to it. When faced with other people's kindness, you don't know how to express your response. You should understand it in your heart..."
Emperor Xia inexplicably felt that his words made his face feel hot and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"You're so annoying, stop talking..." She quickly reached out to cover Jiang Lan's mouth.
"Isn't that what you asked me?"
"I'm just asking, who told you to talk so much? You're not good at speaking, I just don't like to talk too much..."
Looking at Jiang Lan's smiling eyes, Emperor Xia's face became hot, his gaze became vague, and his aura softened inexplicably.
"I said all this just to tell you that you don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me like you do in front of others. If you have any problems, you can tell me directly. I will help you solve your problems..."
"Or you can learn to act like other women and act like a spoiled brat. It's nothing..."
Jiang Lan looked at her like this and sighed in his heart, thinking that Jiang Ruxian was really ruining his plans.
"I am the ruler of a country, how could I act like a spoiled child?"
"I am different from ordinary women, Jiang Lan, don't underestimate me..." Emperor Xia was dissatisfied and stretched out his hand to twist him, but was directly held down by Jiang Lan.
She stretched out her other hand, but was held down by Jiang Lan again, and both her hands were instantly pressed behind her back.
Emperor Xia was immediately displeased.
The two of them immediately started to wrestle with each other. The large wooden bed shook for a while, and finally collapsed with a creaking sound, unable to bear the weight. The curtains were like clouds, instantly covering the two of them.
"Jiang Lan..."
"You are pressing down on my hair, get up quickly..." Emperor Xia was so angry that he clenched his hands.
"Really?" Jiang Lan didn't believe it.
Emperor Xia immediately hit him.
After a moment, Emperor Xia, with his hair in dishevel, finally let Jiang Lan stand up under a pretended fierce gaze.
She sat on the collapsed brocade wooden bed for a while, then thought of someone, gritted her teeth, and her eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
"Jiang Ruxian..."
Emperor Xia's desire to practice and become stronger was stronger than ever before.
Jiang Lan knew that Emperor Xia was thinking of something humiliating, and he was very unhappy about it. However, Jiang Ruxian's cultivation strength was indeed not something he could challenge at the moment.
When Jiang Ruxian first appeared in the imperial capital, he was probably close to the saint level, or even higher.
With the foresight of rebirth, Jiang Ruxian's cultivation speed in this life will be even more terrifying.
"It's all your fault..." Emperor Xia couldn't do anything with Jiang Ruxian, so he could only vent his anger on Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan did not forget the important matter. After letting Emperor Xia vent for a while, he took out the wisp of Emperor's aura that he had prepared earlier.
A wisp of pure breath like the scorching sun emerged in his palm, quietly lying there, exuding a vast and masculine aura.
The aura of the Son of Heaven is a kind of breath and grand atmosphere that was condensed and gathered when the emperor in ancient times offered sacrifices to heaven, and the people and the world were at peace, and he was recognized by heaven.
It not only contains extremely mysterious meanings of the Son of Heaven, but is also a representation and symbol. To have the aura of the Son of Heaven means that he is recognized by heaven and supported by the people. He is the most orthodox Son of Heaven from ancient times to the present.
As soon as Emperor Xia saw this thing, he couldn't take his eyes away.
She even felt that the dragon energy in her body was uncontrollably gathering and spreading towards this breath.
"What's this?"
She had some guesses in her mind, but she couldn't help but ask.
"The aura of the Son of Heaven, which I encountered this time in the Confucian ruins." Jiang Lan explained casually.
"It is indeed the aura of an emperor..." Emperor Xia's beautiful eyes suddenly became bright and shining.
The importance of this item to her is even greater than the previously lost national artifact, the Dragon Seal.
The national treasure, the Dragon Seal, is merely the condensation of Daxia's destiny, while the emperor's aura is a symbol of the ancient emperors, representing the approval of the will of heaven and earth.
However, just when Emperor Xia wanted to observe further, Jiang Lan instantly closed his palms.
"You..." Emperor Xia was so angry that his teeth itched.
Of course, Jiang Lan took out this thing because he must have prepared it for her. When he replaced the emperor's aura in the strange stone that day, he was thinking that it would be useful in the future.
Seeing Jiang Lan holding him in check, Emperor Xia was so angry that he wanted to twist him.
Finally, after her constant persuasion and a few humiliating agreements, Jiang Lan reluctantly gave her the emperor's aura.
After receiving the aura of the emperor, Emperor Xia wanted to go into seclusion immediately.
Jiang Lan was naturally happy and relaxed.
Today, Da Xia has become a place where the Prime Minister's Mansion has the final say. After Emperor Xia went into seclusion, everything is decided by the Prime Minister's Mansion.
On the day when Emperor Xia was in seclusion, the Imperial Master's Mansion was charged with the crime of colluding with royal relatives and intending to rebel, and its property was confiscated.
The people from the Heavenly Supervision Department went there and sealed off the Imperial Master’s Mansion immediately.
This incident caused a huge stir in the imperial capital, and all the aristocratic families were in a state of panic.
The whereabouts of the national teacher are unknown now, and the truth of this crime is unknown.
But on the day when Emperor Xia announced his seclusion, the Prime Minister arrested all the imperial masters and sent them to prison on such charges.
Such a thundering measure, in the eyes of many people, is the first step for the prime minister to eliminate dissidents, and everyone is trembling with fear.
I am afraid that all the forces in the imperial capital will suffer a bloodbath and undergo a major reshuffle.
In the following days, the imperial capital was in a state of panic. Following the Imperial Master's Mansion, several more royal relatives were implicated. Secret letters were found in the mansion, which showed secret communications with the holy places of other major states.
The prime minister was in power and had great power. In the past, Emperor Xia did not dare to touch people easily, but the prime minister did not care at all. In just a few days, he executed several important officials.
Of course, many people can see that the Prime Minister did not really mean to eliminate dissidents by doing this.
Because several of these ministers have indeed been very close to the Taoist traditions of other major states during this period of time.
Obviously, the Prime Minister does have some evidence in his hands.
In addition, even the Zhenbei Palace was searched. Xiao Teng, the adopted son of Zhenbei King Xiao He, was involved in the Blood Immortal Sect and the barbarians joining forces to sabotage the Great Xia Southern Hunting Exercise some time ago.
Many people thought that the matter had been over, but who knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion had actually collected other evidence.
There is another hidden story behind this.
Soon, the Heavenly Supervisory Department found some evidence that Xie Jianjia, the daughter of the former censor Xie's family, had already colluded with the Blood Immortal Cult.
In order to satisfy his own selfish desires and please her, Xiao Teng revealed to her the layout of the palace during the Great Xia Southern Hunting Exercise, which resulted in the theft of a vital item in the palace.
King Xiao He of Zhenbei deliberately concealed the matter, but considering his many contributions to Daxia, he was spared the death penalty, demoted from his official position, and exiled to Beihai.
This incident once again caused a huge stir in the imperial capital.
All civil and military officials were trembling with fear.
Under the Prime Minister's drastic reforms, the imperial capital, which was originally a bit chaotic, became a peaceful and prosperous place in less than half a month.
Some forces in the dark could not help but restrain their forces and were no longer as fearless as before.
During this period of time, many cultivators in Jiuzhou noticed a magical scene.
In some peculiar areas, rich divine light diffused from nowhere, continuously falling from the depths of the sky, illuminating the entire sky with transparent colors like glass, gorgeous and dazzling.
The monks and geniuses who were looking for relics and opportunities everywhere noticed these amazing changes and felt that the entire world seemed to be nurturing a new force.
The shaking sound of the ground beneath our feet has become more and more obvious over time.
From the Tianyan Sect, which excels in divination and deduction, came a voice that shocked many people.
The breath of the heavens permeates and permeates, actively communicating with the earth beneath our feet. Perhaps a great era that will benefit all living beings will soon come.
…
On top of an unnamed mountain, Ge Qixing stood facing the wind, looking up at the sky quietly.
Behind him, Lou Long looked up into the depths of the sky with shock in his eyes, and saw a black dot the size of a speck of dust falling rapidly downwards.
As the distance got closer, the black spot became larger and larger, and finally its outline was revealed in the back.
It was actually a majestic and ancient palace.
"I can't go back to the imperial capital anymore. Judging from the current situation, Emperor Xia has been sidelined by the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
"Fortunately, when I was wandering outside the domain, I got a star palace. I had planned to use it as a training ground and open it up in the void after achieving sainthood."
"However, for now, we can only take shelter here and wait for an opportunity."
Ge Qixing's eyes were deep, his Taoist robe fluttering, and above his head there was a sky full of shining stars. The majestic and magnificent bronze palace pierced through the void and fell down gently.
"Qixing, don't you plan to avenge Teng'er?"
"The murderer who killed Teng'er hasn't been found yet. I won't accept this." Lou Long spoke, his emotions fluctuating wildly.
Ge Qixing said calmly, "I will avenge Teng'er, but not now."
Lou Long clenched his fists, feeling very unwilling.
At this moment, Ge Qixing suddenly felt something, looked not far away, and then a terrifying light surged in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lou Taki followed his gaze but saw nothing.
Ge Qixing's eyes shone brightly, and he said in a deep voice, "The aura of the heavens has already seeped in. In no more than three months, the land of Kyushu will undergo unprecedented changes."
"At that time, the will of the Kyushu land beneath our feet will also revive. You and I must seize this opportunity. When the will of the Kyushu land revives for the first time, everyone will gain indescribable benefits."
Even his mood, when he said this, was filled with uncontrollable surprise and excitement.
