Hearing Yu Yunlong, Yu Jiaolong stared. Then he looked at Yu Yunlong in confusion and said, "Imperial Father, you want me to cultivate with all my strength right now? Prepare to ascend? "
Yu Yunlong nodded. Then he looked at Yu Jiaolong and said, "Jiaolong, tell me the truth. How is your talent?"
Yu Jiaolong looked at Yu Yunlong and said with some embarrassment, "It should be good. I didn't cultivate seriously before, but it's not bad now."
Yu Yunlong took a deep look at Yu Jiaolong and then said, "Alright, I don't care what you did before. What you need to do now is to cultivate diligently. It would be best if you can ascend. Even if you can't, you need to record all your cultivation experiences and leave them for the future generations of the Yu Family."
Yu Jiaolong nodded and said, "Yes, Imperial Father. I understand."
Yu Yunlong replied, "What Zhao Hai told you is to tell you that in the future, the status of the families in the Lost Soul Empire will depend on whether or not they have people who can ascend. If they have people who can ascend, then their status in the Lost Soul Empire wouldn't be shaken. If they don't have people who can ascend, then their family's status in the Lost Soul Empire would slowly decline."
Yu Jiaolong thought about it and understood what Yu Yunlong meant. The Lost Soul Empire existed because of Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai ascend in the future, he would be able to rebuild the Lost Soul Empire in the Sword Spirit Boundary. At that time, even if Zhao Hai ascends to the Sword Spirit Boundary, he would still be able to exert a great influence on the Lost Soul Empire. When necessary, he could even break the space from the upper realms and return to the lower realms. Although he wouldn't be able to stay in the lower realms for a long time, he would still be able to deal with the matters in the lower realms. After all, the Lost Soul Empire was established by him.
Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't disappoint those who fought with him in the upper realms. Therefore, he would ensure the safety of those who ascend and their clans in the lower realms. This way, their clans would be able to stand firm.
On the contrary, those who didn't ascend would slowly lose influence. No matter how well they developed in the lower realms, it wouldn't be as effective as Zhao Hai's words.
The older the ginger, the spicier it is! As soon as he figured this out, Yu Jiaolong immediately remembered this sentence. Yu Yunlong could figure out the crux of the matter in such a short time, which was indeed something that Yu Jiaolong couldn't compare with. From this matter, it could be seen that Yu Yunlong was very sensitive to politics.
Most importantly, what Yu Yunlong asked him to do wouldn't affect Zhao Hai. Instead, it would be beneficial to Zhao Hai. It could be said that it was a win-win situation. If he ascends, not only would he be able to help Zhao Hai, he would also be able to keep the Yu Family in the lower realms. Even if Yu Yunlong abdicated his position in the future, as long as he ascends, the Yu Family would be safe. And if Yu Yunlong abdicated his position, then Zhao Hai wouldn't be in a difficult position. He would even give Zhao Hai an excuse to deal with the other governors. This was a good thing for both Zhao Hai and the Lost Soul Empire.
Yu Jiaolong let out a long breath, then he nodded and said, "Yes, Father. I understand. Rest assured, I'll do my best to cultivate. I'll leave the Ice Jade Country to you."
Yu Yunlong nodded and said, "My old bones can still work for a few more years. You don't need to worry about me. You can go and do your own thing."
Yu Jiaolong replied, "Yes, Imperial Father. I'm going to the Mixed Spirit Continent to cultivate in peace. I won't be staying here. If you need anything, you can contact me through the portable transmission formation. I've already given you a portable transmission formation. You should have learned how to use it. You can use it to contact me when the time comes."
Yu Yunlong nodded and said, "Alright, I've already learned how to use the portable transmission formation. You don't need to worry about me. Moreover, the Lost Soul Empire will arrive in a few days. With them there, there's no need to worry."
Yu Jiaolong thought for a moment before he said, "If I go to the Mixed Spirit Continent, then Tang Ming and the others wouldn't be able to stay in my mansion. Tang Ming is Old Zhao's confidant. Father, you should let him serve in the Imperial Palace so that he can take over some departments of the Ice Jade Country in the future. Moreover, Tang Ming is in charge of an intelligence network left behind by Old Zhao. This will be of great use to you, Imperial Father."
Yu Yunlong said, "Are all the people in your mansion Zhao Hai's people?"
Yu Jiaolong nodded and said, "All of them. I originally wanted to return to the Ice Jade Country. But Imperial Father, you should know that I've been staying in the palace for so many years. I didn't cultivate anyone outside the palace. Therefore, when I returned to the Ice Jade Country, I had no one to help me. Old Zhao had Tang Ming and the others come to me and help me deal with some matters. Through the intelligence network, they would give me some help. Imperial Father, if we want to join the Lost Soul Empire, then we must have complete control over the Ice Jade Country. I believe that Tang Ming will be of great help to Imperial Father."
Yu Yunlong nodded, then he said, "I understand. You can go back. Let me know when you're leaving. Go." Yu Jiaolong nodded. Then he gave Yu Yunlong a salute before he turned around and left.
It wasn't until Yu Jiaolong left the room that Yu Yunlong sighed and said, "What a good method, there's almost no loophole. If Jiaolong doesn't do as he said, then I'm afraid that Tang Ming wouldn't be helping Jiaolong, but would instead become his scapegoat."
Zhang Zhen said, "If he didn't have such methods, then he wouldn't have become the King of the Lost Soul Empire. It can be said that the Lost Soul Empire was established by Zhao Hai. How could such a person be a simple person?"
Yu Yunlong sighed and said, "How could such a person be a simple person? The Ice Jade Country joining the Lost Soul Empire isn't a loss. If we don't join now, then I'm afraid we won't have the opportunity to do so in the future."
Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "Your Majesty, do you think those people from the Spiritual Realm will retaliate against us?"
Yu Yunlong replied, "It's very possible. Those fellows from the Spirit Realm aren't that reasonable. In their view, we lower realms should obey them unconditionally. Otherwise, it would be the greatest disrespect to them. Now that we've slapped their face, they might come back for revenge. We still need to make some arrangements. But there's no need to rush. After Jiao 'er leaves, I'll have a talk with Tang Mingxiang. Tang Mingxiang's status in the Lost Soul Empire shouldn't be low. Since the Lost Soul Empire is sending people over, we can have Tang Mingxiang help us manage those people." Yu Yunlong nodded.
Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll ask the Imperial Army first. When their people arrive, we'll put them in the Imperial Army to train for a period of time. Then we'll have them take over the other armies. Right, Your Majesty, if the Lost Soul Empire's people come, will we have to hand over the Imperial Army? If we hand them over, then we won't have any backup plan. When the time comes, we can only be fish on the chopping block. "
"Do you think that even if we leave the Imperial Army behind, it will have any effect on them? No, it won't have any effect at all. If they really want to kill us, then it's the same whether we have the Imperial Army or not. You've already seen the strength of the Lost Soul Empire, do you think they need to kill us? "
Zhang Zhen didn't say anything. To be honest, the last time he went to the Lost Soul Empire with Yu Jiaolong, it gave him a great shock. The huge warship and the powerful army gave Zhang Zhen a feeling of invincibility. It was because of this that Zhang Zhen didn't oppose when Yu Yunlong said that the Ice Jade Country should join the Lost Soul Empire.
Yu Yunlong sighed and then said, "Since we've joined the Lost Soul Empire, then we shouldn't think about anything else. We should think about the Lost Soul Empire wholeheartedly. If we have other ideas, then Zhao Hai wouldn't be polite. Even if he doesn't give face to Jiaolong, I'm afraid that he won't let our Yu Family have an easy time. We might even affect Jiaolong. Right now, the most important thing is Jiaolong, everything else isn't important."
Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "The Lost Soul Empire is so powerful, and there are people who can ascend. They must have pills that can help people cultivate. If His Highness the Eighth Prince can take those pills, then it wouldn't be impossible for him to ascend in the future. After all, His Highness the Eighth Prince isn't very old. As long as His Highness the Eighth Prince can ascend, then everything we've done will be worth it. As for the other members of the Yu Family, Your Majesty, it's not that this old servant looks down on them, but they really don't deserve to be part of the Yu Family."
Yu Yunlong let out a cold snort, "We've taken care of the Yu Family quite a bit, and I've always treated them quite well. However, when Fei 'er and the others rebelled, their reaction was truly chilling."
Zhang Zhen said, "So Your Majesty, we should make preparations for His Highness the Eighth Prince. As long as His Highness the Eighth Prince can ascend, then everything will be worth it."
"That's right. Now it's up to Jiao 'er. As long as Jiao' er can ascend, everything will be worth it. It doesn't matter whether the Yu Family counts them or not. As long as Jiao 'er can ascend, I don't care about the life and death of those people."
Zhang Zhen said, "Your Majesty, what about the other Highnesses? Although they've gone to the Ice Soaring Empire, they're still people of our Ice Jade Empire. Don't tell me we're going to ignore them in the future? "
"Hmph, those pieces of trash. If they could be like Fei 'er and die to atone for their sins, I would have recognized them as my sons. But now, they actually ran to the Ice Soaring Nation. This is tantamount to giving the Ice Soaring Nation an excuse. In the future, the Ice Soaring Nation will have an excuse to wage war against us. How could I let such trash enter my Yu Family's ancestral records?"
He understood what Yu Yunlong meant. Yu Jinglong and the others had gone to the Ice Soaring Empire, which was equivalent to giving the Ice Soaring Empire an excuse. If the Ice Soaring Empire wanted to deal with the Ice Jade Empire in the future, they could use Yu Jinglong and the others as an excuse. After all, Yu Jinglong and the others were still people of the Yu Family, and they were the direct descendants of the Yu Family. They had the right to inherit the Ice Jade Empire's authority. Moreover, if the Ice Soaring Empire wanted to attack the Ice Jade Empire, they only needed an excuse. As for whether this excuse was reasonable or not, they didn't need to consider it.
