The Infinite Celestial Capital.
Although the National Army wasn't announced publicly, Mo Yike had already started to mobilize the elite troops of Dahan under Gu Hai's command. The various movements were quickly transmitted to the other factions.
The other factions all received the news, but they only guessed that Gu Hai was preparing a counterattack. They didn't expect Gu Hai to dare to attack the south. After all, Gu Hai had to face too many factions, and the Great Yellow Dynasty was also eyeing him covetously.
The other factions were prepared to watch the fierce battle between the Great Yellow Dynasty and the Dahan Imperial Dynasty.
That was until the six great powers suddenly submitted to the Great Han Dynasty. This scene was like a wake-up call to everyone.
The three Medium Sects and three Imperial Dynasties were on the same level as the Dahan Imperial Dynasty. In the blink of an eye, they were taken down without shedding a drop of blood.
How many preparations did the Dahan Imperial Dynasty have?
As a result, the Dahan Imperial Dynasty's army instantly increased.
They had more than one Heavenly Palace in the peak Great Perfection Stage and two thousand cities. This was comparable to the Celestial Dynasty. The factions sandwiched between Great Yellow Dynasty and Dahan suddenly became anxious.
Sima Changkong's envoys began to make their way to the various Imperial Empires. They were extremely fast. They weren't flying boats, but were led by a group of Medium and High Celestial Palace cultivators. In just a few days, they arrived at the various Imperial Dynasties and sects and started to interact with each other.
The Great Yellow Dynasty and Dahan Imperial Dynasty hadn't started the war yet, but the situation in the world had already started to boil.
The Infinite Celestial Capital.
After half a month of recuperation, Houqing's injuries were more or less healed.
Standing at the entrance of a large hall and looking in the direction of Gu Hai's Upper Study, Houqing's eyes were filled with uncertainty.
"Houqing, your injuries have healed?" Goddess Houtu asked.
"Sister, my injuries are more or less healed. Also, I can't stay in the Infinite Celestial Capital anymore. Sister, come with me!" Houqing looked at Goddess Houtu.
"What did you say?" Goddess Houtu frowned.
"Sis, can't you tell? That Gu Hai was obviously courting death. Not only did he have the Great Yellow Dynasty as his mortal enemy, but now, he even issued a threatening edict. Wasn't this going against the entire world? The six major powers are pledging their loyalty not to intimidate the other powers, but to infuriate them. This Gu Hai has gone mad! "Houqing said anxiously.
"What do you mean by crazy? Gu Hai established the Dahan Imperial Dynasty, taking one step at a time to reach the state it is today. Is it not as good as your judgment? Houqing, are you still holding a grudge against Gu Hai and unable to let go of your resentment? Don't forget that when you were trapped in the Yellow Springs Weak Water Array, it was Gu Hai who saved you, "Goddess Houtu said solemnly.
"Sister, alright. I still have some resentment in my heart, but when I was saved, it wasn't all because of Gu Hai. Sister was there too. Sister would have saved me too. I'm not grateful to Gu Hai. I'm grateful to sister. Sister, you heard it that day. Matriarch Ji has grasped the Divine Dao Deprivation and the Mind Manipulation. How can Gu Hai fight her? Matriarch Ji even has the help of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. Didn't Chi You lose too? Gu Hai can't compare to Chi You. No, Chi You's Devour the Heavens and Earth was also taken away by Matriarch Ji. This means that Matriarch Ji has Chi You's help. In this world, no one can suppress Matriarch Ji, "Houqing said anxiously.
"Meow, so you're running away? Becoming a deserter? "Suddenly, Mao Tianyun walked out from nearby.
"I'm talking to my sister. Why are you interrupting?" Houqing glared at him.
"Hmph, so what if I interrupt? Houqing, you can't be thinking of joining Matriarch Ji, right? "Mao Tianyun sneered.
"How can I join Matriarch Ji? Sister, I want to go to the Great Yan Sky Dynasty to find Jiang Yan. Sister, come with me. If you stay here, you'll only be waiting for death. That Gu Hai is playing with fire. He won't have a good ending!" Houqing advised.
"Enough!" Goddess Hou Tu said coldly.
"Sister?"
"Houqing, I won't stop you if you want to leave. I know that I can't stop you. You have your own thoughts, and no one can change them. No, maybe Jiang Yan can change your mind. However, I'll make it clear to you. You're not allowed to leak anything about the Long Wanyu. Even if it's Jiang Yan, you can't tell anyone. If I find out that you leaked the information, we'll cut off all ties. I'll hunt you down no matter what!" Goddess Hou Tu said coldly.
"Sister, you can't …!" Houqing said anxiously.
Goddess Houtu looked at Houqing with a cold expression, forcing Houqing to swallow the words he was about to say.
"Sister, are you really not leaving? Even if you take the Long Wanyu with you, we …!" Houqing still wanted to persuade her.
Goddess Hou Tu's gaze was still cold.
"Alright, sister. Take care of yourself!" Houqing sighed.
Mao Tianyun looked at the pair of siblings and frowned, but he didn't say anything.
"Goodbye!" Houqing said in a low voice.
Whoosh!
Houqing didn't care about the others and shot into the distance. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
"Sigh!" Goddess Hou Tu sighed softly.
"Hou Tu, Houqing's words aren't unreasonable. Should we all stay? Gu Hai seems to be in the center of the storm. His position is very dangerous! "Mao Tianyun said with a frown.
Goddess Hou Tu shook her head. "Our mission is to protect the Long Wanyu. Isn't that right?"
"But Gu Hai …!" Mao Tianyun said with a frown.
"Speaking of which, Gu Hai is surrounded by danger. But because of the danger, aren't there also many opportunities around him? Staying here may not be a bad thing! "Goddess Hou Tu shook her head.
"Are you talking about Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, Gu Han, Long Wanqing, and Chen Xian 'er reaching the Complete Level of the Heavenly Palace?" Mao Tianyun asked in confusion.
"Not only them. Didn't Mosquito Daoren and Ao Sheng also reach a certain level?" Goddess Hou Tu said.
"But we are all at the Complete Level of the Heavenly Palace. What's the point of staying? Besides, if we accidentally hurt the Long Wanyu, wouldn't it be …! "Mao Tianyun said with a frown.
"No, it won't. Gu Hai is a person who values friendship. He will protect the Long Wanyu with all his might. Long Wanyu won't be in danger here. On the other hand, once we leave the Infinite Celestial Capital, can the two of us protect the Long Wanyu? Things are no longer the same as they were in the past! "Goddess Earth Mother sighed.
"You mean to say that being with Gu Hai is the safest place?" Mao Tianyun asked in surprise.
Goddess Hou Tu nodded.
"Alright, if you say so, then so be it. You guys are much smarter than me when it comes to scheming and scheming. But it's a pity that Gouchen, Zi Wei, and Chang Sheng are useless. Their memories of their past lives are useless! Their intelligence is also worrying. Plus, their cultivation is only at the Middle Level of the Heavenly Palace. It's a pity that …! "Mao Tianyun sighed.
"Heh, you're wrong! Their current achievements are already higher than ours! "Goddess Hou Tu shook her head.
"What? Are you kidding me, Goddess Hou Tu? The three of them are weirdos? They just mastered the Source of Guqin Dao, Calligraphy Dao, and Painting Dao. They can only use some of them passively. They are far worse than us! "Mao Tianyun said in disbelief.
"The Five Divine Messengers mastered the Five Great Daos of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. They were Metal, Wood, and Earth. But in this life, they are Guqin, Calligraphy, and Painting. Do you think that Guqin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting are just four simple Great Daos? "Goddess Hou Tu sneered.
"Ah?"
"Guqin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting belong to the Cultivation of Literature. Life, Fortune, Divine Literature, and Spirit. Every cultivation covers the use of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Do you understand? Cultivation of Literature, you underestimate it. It doesn't just consist of four Heavenly Daos. It uses these four Great Daos as its foundation and covers the use of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Guqin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting can use some kind of power from 750 Great Daos! "Goddess Hou Tu said.
"Are you kidding? That's impossible!" Mao Tianyun said with a glare.
"That is the truth. Guqin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting are all cultivation of Literature. They are different from the other Great Daos. They can use some of the power from 749 Great Daos. Gu Hai and Old Man Guanqi relied on comprehension and hard work to master most of Chess. Gouchen, Longevity, and Purple Micro were born with it. Although they only grasped the source of laws, do you think they are useless? In fact, they have already washed away all the glamour and reached another level. They don't scheme against each other because their temperaments have changed! "Goddess Hou Tu said.
"Why can these four Great Daos command the Three Thousand Great Daos?" Mao Tianyun asked in confusion.
"It's because of the person who created the cultivation of Literature. With the four Great Daos as the foundation, they can use the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos. It's like how Heaven used the Golden Dragon of Luck to use the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Gouchen and the others have just started to transform, but they are already ahead of us. Don't underestimate them or be arrogant. The three of them, together with Gu Hai's Chess Dao, are a complete cultivation of Literature! So, do you still think that Gu Hai is dangerous here? "Goddess Hou Tu asked.
Mao Tianyun was slightly stunned. In the end, he nodded and said, "It's really strange!"
Goddess Hou Tu shook her head and looked in the direction of the Upper Study.
In the Upper Study:
Gu Hai sat behind the desk. Guqin and the legion commanders stood on his left. Six people stood on his right. They were the leaders of the six factions that had just joined the Dahan Imperial Dynasty. They had all been conferred the title of Marquis. They were now part of the Dahan Imperial Dynasty's imperial court.
At this moment, the leaders of the six factions looked at Gu Hai with a trace of confusion.
"I have already said in the imperial court that it is thanks to the six of you that the Dahan Imperial Dynasty can grow stronger in peace!" Gu Hai said to the six.
The six of them smiled bitterly.
In the past, they had indeed promised Sima Changkong, but when the Great Yellow Celestial Empire attacked, the six great forces hesitated for a while. However, at that time, Sima Changkong had spread the news everywhere in their imperial court, using public opinion to force the six of them to take sides. In the end, they reluctantly joined the Dahan Imperial Dynasty.
However, at this time, no one would say it out loud.
"The title of Marquis is naturally not as honorable as the former emperors and sect leaders. However, the Dahan Imperial Dynasty is fair in its rewards and punishments. I wonder if you are willing to contribute to the Dahan Imperial Dynasty and expand its territory?" Gu Hai looked at the six of them.
The six of them were slightly stunned and looked at Gu Hai in surprise.
Logically speaking, these emperors and sect leaders who submitted would at most be raised in the imperial court. They would not be given any power. After all, this was necessary for the country's long-term stability. However, what did Gu Hai mean by this?
"I am a person who appreciates talents. I am not worried about you rebelling!" Gu Hai said calmly.
"We dare not!" The six of them bowed at almost the same time.
"There's no need to worry. I already said that I am not worried about you rebelling. However, you just need to think about the price of rebelling. Most of the commanders to your right were my opponents in the past, my enemies. Now, they are also nobles and princes. Why would I worry about people who submit to me?" Gu Hai smiled. "That's right.
Kong Xuan, Mosquito Daoren, Gao Xianzhi, Dragon God Ying, Mo Yike, and Sima Changkong all laughed. In the past, they were indeed Gu Hai's opponents.
The six of them were slightly stunned. Then, their eyes lit up. Solemnly, one of them said, "Your Majesty's breadth of mind is admirable!"
"The Dahan Imperial Dynasty will soon be promoted to the Celestial Dynasty. The nobles of the Celestial Dynasty are comparable to the emperors of the Imperial Dynasties. They are also comparable to the sect leaders of the Middle Sects. The six of you were able to establish the Imperial Dynasties and Middle Sects. You are not ordinary people and have your own methods. How can I waste your talents and let you achieve nothing?" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is wise!" The six of them said with a trace of gratitude.
"This is a critical moment for the Dahan. I have a share of the merit of opening up the country and establishing a new empire. I want to share it with you. You can show your talents. When the matter is settled and the Dahan ascends to the Celestial Dynasty, it is not impossible for you to obtain nobility!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, please arrange it!" The six of them immediately took a deep breath and said with a trace of excitement.
It was definitely a blessing for them to meet such an open-minded emperor.
Gu Hai looked at Mo Yike and nodded.
Mo Yike, who was on the side, understood that these six people were going to be included in the list of the National Army.
