Although the Eastern Imperial Family was weak, a centipede would not fall over even if it was dead. They still had power. At least, they had no problem dealing with an ordinary marquis.
Besides, Dongfang Moyu was already at the Soul Formation stage and was known as the Empire's War Goddess. Even Purple Marquis was slightly inferior to her.
"Marquis Shanshui, since the Eldest Princess has made such a judgment, we should trust her judgment. The simulation test has just begun, why are you in such a hurry! "
Purple Marquis hurriedly persuaded.
Marquis Shanshui still wanted to argue, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he gave up.
"Yes, yes, yes, Zi Yunxiao hasn't made a move yet. If he deals with the Zhenyuan Marquis Lin family, he can still step on him and avenge his son. Hmph, if Purple Marquis Shanshui grows up and protects himself in front of the Emperor, I think he can still keep his title and fief! "
Thinking of this, Marquis Shanshui stared at Jiang Tian and said hatefully, "I'll let you be proud for a moment. My son is not a genius, but there are countless geniuses in the Empire. Your disciple will be beaten to death sooner or later. Without the protection of the Zhenyuan Marquis, you won't have a good ending. "
"Sigh, Marquis Shanshui, you're too stingy. We are all trusted subordinates of the Imperium, feudal lords of the border. Any progress made by any successor of a feudal lord is a good thing for the country and a cause for celebration! "
At this time, Purple Marquis laughed softly and said to Lin Hanqing solemnly, "Congratulations, Brother Lin. Lin Yang has finally improved and stepped into the Nascent Soul stage. It can be said that he reached the sky in one step, a carp leaping over the dragon gate. It's really worth celebrating!"
"Yes, Lin Yang is so promising. He can definitely keep his title and fief in the Hidden Dragon Trials! Brother Lin, you can celebrate in advance! "
"His speed of advancement is incredible. I remember that just a year ago, this kid was still at the Core Formation stage! "
"Isn't that so! He's been stuck at the Core Formation stage for a while and can't take another step forward! This time, well, it's simply amazing the world with a single brilliant feat! "
"Brother Lin, Lin Yang doesn't seem to be married yet!"
"Tsk, Marquis Zhenhai, what are you thinking! Lin Yang and Fang Gouyu were a pair, childhood sweethearts! Do you want your daughter to get involved as well? "
The Grand Princess made the final decision, affirming Lin Yang's achievements. The Marquis of Shanshui did not dare to deny it, and even the Marquis of Purple Robe respectfully congratulated him. For a moment, the attitude of the nobles present changed greatly. They looked at Lin Hanqing and his son with a higher degree of respect. The sound of congratulations resounded everywhere. Some even wanted to propose marriage to Lin Yang!
"Oh my god, I really won! Brother Jiang's guidance is simply like the guidance of an immortal, and it allowed me to ascend to the limit! "
Lin Yang couldn't believe it, as if he was in a dream.
After a long time, he finally came back to his senses and flew to his seat. He excitedly raised his wine cup and said, "Mister, let me toast you!" Then, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Jiang Tian had only dabbled a little.
"Haha, thank you for your support. This is all thanks to our chief guest, Mr. Jiang. As the saying goes, a great teacher produces a great disciple … "
Lin Hanqing enjoyed the admiring and envious gazes of the other dukes as well as the waves of congratulatory words, and he felt extremely happy in his heart. He stood up with his head held high, and then he cupped his hands towards the surroundings.
But when he saw the Marquis of Purple Robe looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, and Zi Yunxiao's eyes were also gloomy. Lin Hanqing suddenly realized that the Marquis of Purple Robe's words had a hidden meaning.
One had to know that Lin Yang was only at the peak of the Gold Core stage, and half-step Nascent Soul stage was barely enough.
But the Marquis of Purple Robe deliberately said that Lin Yang was in the Nascent Soul stage. This was to pave the way for the upcoming competition.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shiver. He quickly smiled and cupped his hands, "Brother Purple Robe, you are wrong this time. Lin Yang is only at the peak of the Gold Core stage, not even half-step Nascent Soul stage. On this point, Grand Princess Mo Yu can see it clearly! "
"Indeed!"
The Grand Princess sipped her tea and nodded slightly, "Lin Yang is indeed at the peak of the Gold Core stage, without the slightest sign of Nascent Soul stage, nor control the forbidden area, nor touch the laws. There's no doubt about that! "
She had experienced many battles between the dynasties and knew the conflicts between the nobles. She also knew that the Marquis of Purple Robe's ambition. She immediately judged that the Marquis wanted his son, Zi Yunxiao, to crush Lin Yang.
But Zi Yunxiao had already stepped into the Nascent Soul stage!
Nascent Soul stage cultivators were called Heavenly Monarchs. Once they entered the Nascent Soul stage, they were in control of their own fate.
Nascent Soul stage Heavenly Monarchs could even control the laws of heaven and earth, form their own forbidden area, and have all kinds of incredible abilities. Although the Saint Origin Continent belonged to the Central Galaxy, where the laws were strict and the laws were firm, Nascent Soul stage Heavenly Monarchs still had the power to move mountains and fill seas, and the power to crush cities with a roar.
Nascent Soul stage, even half-step Nascent Soul stage, was fundamentally different from Gold Core stage. Gold Core stage cultivators only controlled Primordial Qi, and used True Essence to form Dharma Form. Compared to the forbidden area of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, it was on a completely different level. If one forcefully fought against it, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree, or an egg hitting a stone.
Because of the huge gap between Gold Core and Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Nascent Soul stage cultivators were "exempted" from the Hidden Dragon Trials, and kept their titles and fiefs.
This was to prevent the Jindan heirs from fighting against the Nascent Soul geniuses, resulting in casualties.
"Haha, Princess Royal, you are underestimating Lin Yang, this child. You are also underestimating Mr. Jiang, this famous teacher. Mr. Jiang is a miraculous man. He cured the Princess's chronic illness and helped Lin Yang reach the ultimate level. His knowledge and ability are far beyond ours! "
Purple Marquis looked at Jiang Tian meaningfully and smiled.
"When I look at this Mister Jiang, I feel like I'm in the depths of an abyss, unfathomable! I think he has a way to hide his Nascent Soul stage energy and suppress his power. We thought Lin Yang was only a Core Formation cultivator, but after fighting with Li Liudao, we found out that he was a peak-stage Golden Core cultivator! "
Jiang Tian took a sip of his tea with a faint smile on his face, refusing to comment.
Purple Marquis didn't mind Jiang Tian's arrogance and indifference. He continued with a smile, "Then I can't help but ask, is this Lin Yang's limit? I don't think so. He might already be a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if he's just a Golden Core cultivator, he's still a Nascent Soul cultivator! "
"Purple Marquis, you're too imaginative. My son is useless …"
Lin Hanqing felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He felt uncomfortable and quickly smiled.
"Lin Hanqing, whether he's a Nascent Soul cultivator or not, we'll know after a fight."
Purple Marquis was a bit impatient.
"Also, you should know that in the Hidden Dragon Trials, it's a big crime for a Duke's descendant to falsely report their power."
His eyes were as sharp as a knife. He aggressively asked.
"You're so secretive. Could it be that you're hiding your son's cultivation level because you want him to suddenly explode in power during the Hidden Dragon Trials and kill the heirs of the dukes who have conflicts with you? You're using your position to avenge your personal grudge, and you're on the same side and attacking those who don't? Or even intensify the conflict between the Duke's and the smaller Duke's, causing unrest in the Empire? "
These words were murderous and heart-rending.
It was simply one high hat after another being placed on him.
Not only did he want to raise Lin Yang's power, he also wanted to force him to fight with Zi Yunxiao.
Moreover, if Lin Yang didn't agree to the fight, he would be cursed and Lin Hanqing would be called a schemer with evil intentions.
In reality, it was Purple Marquis who wanted to reform the Hidden Dragon Trials. He wanted to use actual combat to suppress the smaller Duke's and even intensify the conflict between the Duke's and cause unrest in the Empire. He wanted to pave the way for the late Emperor Dongfang Jie to regain control of the country.
But he put all these crimes on the head of Lin Hanqing, who stood aloof from worldly affairs.
