Xuan Yan Star Realm.
In the Xuan Yan Star Realm, there are three top-tier forces.
Xuan Yan Dynasty, Tian Shu Sect, Dang Mo Sect.
Among them, the Xuan Yan Dynasty is the strongest, followed by the Tian Shu Sect and the Dang Mo Sect. The remaining sects are merely vassals of these three top powers.
Recently, a major event has occurred in both the Xuan Yan Dynasty and the Tian Shu Sect.
The young master Shen Xiaohong from the royal realm stayed at the Xuan Yan Dynasty and was very satisfied with the hospitality of the Xuan Yan Emperor, who bestowed upon him countless rare and precious treasures, greatly increasing the overall strength of the Xuan Yan Dynasty.
The Tian Shu Sect trusted its Holy Son, Li Jingxiao, to obtain a great opportunity within the ruins. After emerging, he defeated numerous powerful enemies and successfully entered the top ten of the Xuan Yan Ranking.
In comparison, the momentum of the Demon-Slaying Sect is somewhat weak. They are already at odds with the Heavenly Pivot Sect, and now they would rather avoid the disciples of the other sect than not see them, for fear of being intercepted and ridiculed, which would inevitably lead to a major battle between the disciples of the sect.
At this moment, in the Xuan Yan Dynasty, several high-ranking officials were discussing with a middle-aged man with a square face how to suppress the momentum of the Tian Shu Sect.
“Li Jingxiao… I’ve met him before. Back then, he was just an insignificant handyman disciple. Who would have thought he would end up like this?”
"Hmph, he's just a lucky kid. In this world, there's no shortage of lucky people. In my opinion, paying too much attention to him is a waste of time. Why not use that energy to cultivate new talents? Are the seedlings of our Xuan Yan Dynasty any worse than that country bumpkin?"
Some people dismissed it.
"Ahem, everyone, please hear me out."
The square-faced middle-aged man, who had remained silent all along, coughed lightly and slowly began to speak.
Everyone immediately fell silent and looked up at him.
This person is named Mo Yuandao. He has a special identity as the Palace Master of the Xuan Yan Palace, personally approved by His Majesty. The Xuan Yan Palace is actually a cultivation sect founded by the Xuan Yan Dynasty. However, it only accepts disciples of the dynasty. Even the princes and princesses under His Majesty's care cultivate in the Imperial Palace. His Majesty praises their growth highly, which shows that this person has a position above all others in the court.
The reason they are gathered here today is because of Mo Yuandao.
"The biggest problem we face right now is not Li Jingxiao himself. How he grows or how talented he is are not issues in our view. After all, there are so many geniuses in the world, but how many of them can actually succeed?"
"The question now is whether Young Master Shen Xiaohong will change his opinion of our Xuan Yan Dynasty because of Li Jingxiao."
The ministers were taken aback for a moment, then praised, "As expected of Palace Master Mo, his words are always so insightful."
"That's right, that's right. Young Master Shen Xiaohong sees our potential, which is why he's given our Xuan Yan Dynasty so many rare and precious treasures. But if he thinks our Xuan Yan Dynasty is inferior to the Tian Shu Sect, then..."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had all witnessed how many good things Shen Xiaohong had given them these past few days. If all of these things ended up in the pockets of the Tian Shu Sect... their strength would probably surpass that of the Xuan Yan Dynasty.
That was a scene they absolutely did not want to see.
"The most urgent task right now is not to cultivate geniuses, but to find a genius who is about the same age as Li Jingxiao, but whose talent and cultivation can absolutely crush him. Do you understand?"
Mo Yuandao cast a meaningful glance around, and no one dared to meet his eyes.
really.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
These good-for-nothings usually act arrogantly and domineeringly in the court, but when it comes to actually doing something, they either lack the ability or the courage.
He was just grasping at straws in his desperation; what could he possibly gain from bringing this bunch of scoundrels over to discuss this?
Just as the atmosphere inside the room was at a standstill, the old eunuch outside the door suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, I heard that two young martial artists have arrived outside. They seem to be His Highness's friends, and they have now been taken to Changhuan Palace."
"Are you sure it's Changhuan Palace?"
Mo Yuandao looked surprised. "Which two friends? Have we met them before?"
The old eunuch shook his head blankly and said in a low voice, "This servant just took a sneak peek. They were two unfamiliar faces, only eighteen or nineteen years old, with unfathomable cultivation. This servant dared not approach them and hurried back to report."
Do you find it all unfathomable?
Mo Yuandao narrowed his eyes.
This old eunuch has been with him since he was a child, and now he has reached the Divine Realm. In addition to helping with chores, he also assists Mo Yuandao in dealing with minor characters.
"Those two possessed magical artifacts that concealed their cultivation levels. In my youth, I cultivated eye techniques, which allow me to see through a martial artist's true cultivation level. Therefore, even with these artifacts, I could easily sense the profound fluctuations of their spiritual energy. It was indeed unfathomable, even..."
"explain."
Mo Yuandao nodded.
"It could even be a powerful expert at the Divine Tribulation Realm."
"Sachiko, you must be seeing things, right?"
"Exactly, if he's really eighteen or nineteen, how could he possibly be a powerful cultivator at the Divine Tribulation Realm?"
"Her Highness the Princess is only in her early twenties and has only just broken through to the Divine Tribulation Realm."
Mo Yuandao raised his hand to stop their argument and smiled, "Xiao Xingzi has practiced pupil techniques, so there's no way she could be wrong."
"If this is true, then it's like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy. Think about it, between two martial artists who have broken through to the Divine Tribulation Realm at such a young age and Li Jingxiao, who is more valuable?"
"Li Jingxiao is no match for him at all."
Someone shook their head and said.
"Isn't that enough?"
"But Her Highness the Eldest Princess has never interfered in politics, so we..."
“I will consult with Your Highness. This is a great thing that benefits the Xuan Yan Dynasty. Your Highness has no reason not to give us face.”
Mo Yuandao chuckled, his smug expression impossible to hide.
"Hmph, what Tian Shu Sect, what Li Jingxiao, they're nothing but clowns. In the end, the fate of Heaven is on the side of my Xuan Yan Dynasty."
At this moment, outside Changhuan Palace.
“What a rare guest! When you said you wanted to meet me, I thought it was just a polite remark.”
Xia Shiying crossed her arms, glanced at Feng Yushang behind Lin Feng, and said nothing.
Although she went to the Ice Phoenix Realm, she was unaware of what happened after she left. Otherwise, if she saw Lin Feng again now, she would probably call the Imperial Guards to arrest him.
"How could that be? If what I want is here, I will naturally come." Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back and smiled. "Where is that girl Li Qinghe?"
"Her father dragged her to the Xuan Yan Palace to cultivate."
Xia Shiying crossed her arms and said lazily, "There are too many people and too much attention outside, let's come in first."
"You've come to me for no reason, so you must have something you need my help with. Well, I also have something I need your help with."
After they met again, Xia Shiying laid the foundation for their cooperation with just a few words.
