"Don't worry, mother. I have more than enough resources here," Fang Jian said.
Emperor Taiyuan nodded and continued, "Jian'er, you are certainly gathering the Great Trend quickly, but you must know that a country without its people cannot last long. The Great Dao Court has stripped us of our titles, which means we can no longer absorb the Great Trend from the Xiantian Wuji Realm. We can only rely on the 'taxes' of our people to collect the Great Trend."
As mentioned earlier, the Dao Court has the Xiantian Yuanshi Treasure Seal, and with it, it monopolizes the way to "absorb the great power" of the Xiantian Wuji Realm.
Only by obtaining the title of Dao Ting can one obtain the corresponding authority to absorb the great power between heaven and earth bestowed by the innate Yuanshi treasure seal.
But there is only one exception, that is the "common people", that is, the people of various countries, whether they are the people under the rule of the Great Dao Court and the vassal states of the Great Dao Court, the people of the clan country, or even the common people in the wild who do not belong to any party. In short, as long as they are intelligent creatures in the innate Wuji Realm, the innate Yuanshi Treasure Seal will give them the basic authority to absorb the great trend, that is, they can absorb a bit of great trend every day.
Even Emperor Taiyuan, Fang Jian, and the people of Zong State who had already rebelled had this basic authority and could absorb a great trend every day.
This is the authority of the Xiantian Yuanshi Treasure Seal to protect the basic power of all living beings, and the Dao Court cannot interfere.
Therefore, if the Zong Kingdom wants to obtain a stable way to obtain the great trend, it must have enough people, so as to break away from the monopoly of the Great Dao Court on the acquisition of the great trend.
When Fang Jian heard this, he knew that Emperor Taiyuan was warning him that if he wanted to win people's hearts, he should not use force and plunder just for the sake of temporary gain.
Fang Jian naturally understood this principle, and he also had his own plans. However, facing the admonition of Emperor Taiyuan, Fang Jian did not argue. Instead, he bowed and said, "Yes, mother, I understand."
Emperor Taiyuan continued, "What are you going to do next? Continue your march toward Shangyuanzhou?"
Fang Jian said, "We were originally on the defensive. Now that the 120,000-strong army of the Four-Nation Alliance has been destroyed and we have occupied Xingping Pass, I would like to rest for a while and do some necessary things at home in preparation for the upcoming war."
Emperor Taiyuan nodded and said, "That's good. I just detected some powerful changes in the area between Xingping Pass and Shangyuan City. This is most likely a defensive arrangement made by the Four Kingdoms Dao Masters. Be careful."
"Oh?" Fang Jian's eyes narrowed when he heard this, then he nodded and said, "I'll send someone to investigate."
Emperor Taiyuan smiled slightly, then said: "I am here to take charge, you can go back to Chang'an if you want."
"Yes, I'm leaving." Fang Jian bowed and said goodbye to Emperor Taiyuan, then left the backyard of the garrison and came to the front hall.
Fang Jian called Luan Xiao and ordered him to send people out of Xingping Pass to investigate along the way to Shangyuan City. Any abnormalities must be recorded and reported.
After arranging all this, Fang Jian boarded the unpolished jade crane and returned to Chang'an.
