Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
Ever since the Daikon State had captured the emperors of the 16 Celestial Dynasties, the speed of its military conquest had sped up. In just ten years, almost half of the northern part of the Chakravarti Weave belonged to the Daikon State.
This speed was too terrifying! The Holy Court from a Lesser Thousand Realms had never been as exaggerated as the Daikon State.
This speed of expansion caused every Celestial Dynasty in the northern part of the Chakravarti Weave to feel threatened.
Chang Capital, Undying Palace! During the court assembly.
Zhong Shan sat on the Dragon Throne and looked at the officials below.
"Holy King, it's not time for our dynasty to conquer the world!" Xiao Wang stepped forward and reported.
"Oh?"
"Our territory can still be expanded, but we are still short of manpower. We have to defend the vast territory that we occupy. If we can't defend it, it's hard to guarantee that the soldiers and soldiers at the border will be distracted. We need to rest and reorganize before we can expand!" Xiao Wang said firmly.
"I agree! Just as General Xiao said, our territory is expanding too quickly. We need to strengthen the central authority and increase our military strength. We need to select stronger generals and soldiers. The army needs to rest and reorganize, and so do the people. Moreover, the remaining half of the northern part of the Chakravarti Weave will work together to resist the Daikon State. However, if we let them be, their conflicts will slowly escalate. After we rest and reorganize, we will completely conquer the northern part of the Chakravarti Weave! "Yi Yan agreed.
Zhong Shan tapped the Dragon Throne lightly and nodded. "Approved!"
At the same time, in the southern part of the Chakravarti Weave. In the Heavenly Bestowed Residence.
The Third Prince, Nian Ben, Wang Jingwen, and a group of officials stood respectfully.
In front of them was an old eunuch with two purple-robed men standing beside him.
The old eunuch seemed to have just announced an imperial edict. He handed over the imperial edict.
"The Third Prince, the Holy King is very dissatisfied with you!" The old eunuch whispered.
Nian Ben frowned and nodded.
"These two are Gu Xian who were transferred from the Martial Arts Hall in the imperial court. They will be at your disposal in the future. Although the Holy King is dissatisfied with the Third Prince, he still cares a lot about you, The Third Prince. There has never been a Crown Prince who could dispatch two Gu Xian at once! You are the first! "the old eunuch said with a smile.
"Please thank the Holy King for me!" The Third Prince's expression softened.
"Yes, this old servant will. I have finished announcing the imperial edict. The rest is up to The Third Prince. I will also take my leave and report to the Holy King!" The old eunuch said.
"I'll send you off!"
"No need!" The old eunuch's figure flashed and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Greetings, The Third Prince!" The two purple-robed men behind the old eunuch bowed slightly to Nian Ben.
"Yes!"
"Please rest here for the time being!"
"We will listen to the Third Prince's orders!"
"Men, send these two to the Sky Courtyard to rest!" The Third Prince ordered.
"Yes!"
Soon, the two Gu Xian experts were sent away.
"The Third Prince, I will also lead the troops. There are four large-scale battles that require my approval today!" Wang Jingwen said.
"Go!" Nian Ben said amiably.
Wang Jingwen nodded and left.
As soon as Wang Jingwen left, The Third Prince's expression turned gloomy. He clutched the imperial edict and frowned.
"The Third Prince, in the imperial edict, the Holy King praised Wang Jingwen many times, but he also expressed dissatisfaction with the Third Prince. This is very thought-provoking! I am worried …! "The official frowned.
"Worried about what?"
"I am worried that the Holy King will withdraw you back to the Phaseless Weave and make Wang Jingwen the governor!" the official said.
Nian Ben's pupils shrank, and he shook his head. "Impossible!"
Nian Ben knew that this was impossible. No matter how strong Wang Jingwen was, he was still just a vassal. Nian Ben was the true descendant of the Holy King. However, he had to guard against this. Even if Wang Jingwen didn't become the governor, he could still be replaced by someone else. The Phaseless Holy Court didn't need useless people. If his performance was too useless, the Holy King might remove him from the position of Crown Prince in the future.
"But, The Third Prince …!"
"Alright, that's enough! This topic ends here! "
"Yes!" The officials could only nod awkwardly.
Three days later, Wang Jingwen brought a batch of information to Nian Ben.
"Third Crown Prince, I've marked the large number of talents gathered in the Heavenly Bestowed Mansion's examination with a red line. I feel that it's best to mark the people on the red line for the ten cities we just won." Wang Jingwen said.
The Third Prince carefully looked at the list in the jade slip.
Looking at these names, Nian Ben frowned. Although these people were talented, they had all invited Wang Jingwen to a banquet after the examination. Wang Jingwen had also gone there a few times. Were these people Wang Jingwen's direct subordinates?
Thinking of this, Nian Ben's expression tightened. Was Wang Jingwen trying to nurture his forces? Absolutely not.
"En, I still have a use for these people. Didn't the last thirty people on this list do well in the examination? Let them go! "Nian Ben said solemnly.
"Eh?" Wang Jingwen's expression changed.
As expected! Nian Ben sneered inwardly. As expected, these people are your direct subordinates. Fortunately, I saw through them.
"Yes!" Wang Jingwen nodded. Although he didn't say anything, there was a trace of disappointment in his voice.
After sending Wang Jingwen off, Nian Ben was in a good mood. Not bad, nurturing direct subordinates. No matter how great Wang Jingwen's contributions were, as long as the ones in charge of these territories were my trusted subordinates, what could you do?
Ignoring Nian Ben's pride, Wang Jingwen also sneered after leaving the Heavenly Bestowed Manor.
"Direct subordinates? The people you choose will be the ones who will take your life in the future! "Wang Jingwen sneered and went straight to the commander-in-chief's camp.
The Third Prince was obviously far inferior to Wang Jingwen in terms of strategy.
The war in the south was frantically expanding under Wang Jingwen's plan. There was no rest at all. It seemed like he was opening up new territory for the Phaseless Holy Court, but there was an extremely insidious plan hidden within. Although he had gained a large territory, he couldn't control it well.
In a remote Holy Land in the north of the Chakravarti Weave. The Mang Gu Holy Land!
In a large hall in the Mang Gu Holy Land, there were a total of five golden thrones.
If Zhong Shan was here, he would be surprised to find that the style of the golden thrones was very similar to the bronze thrones of Wang Ku. However, one was made of gold and the other was made of bronze.
On each of the five golden thrones sat a black-robed figure. However, the armrests of the thrones weren't human hands, but skeletal claws. These were five experts of the Skeleton Clan.
The door of the hall was closed. At this moment, the five skeleton experts in the hall didn't speak.
After a moment of silence, one of the skeletons finally spoke.
"Well, there are no outsiders here. What do you think of this matter?" One of the skeletons asked.
"Daikon State's Holy Court, Ninth Army Commander, Wang Bei? He also has a Skeleton Throne. Obviously, he came from the Skeleton Clan's General Alliance. "Another skeleton said.
"According to various intelligence, Wang Bei's Soul Fire is very high. This is not determined by cultivation. It is a precious symbol of identity. Who is he? "Another skeleton said.
"It's very strange. That kind of Soul Fire can only be found in the descendants of the Skeleton Clan's King!" The first skeleton said again.
"The King's Descendant? No, I have seen the King's Descendant. Although his Soul Fire was diluted, I feel that the King's Descendant's Soul Fire is inferior to Wang Bei's! "
"Wang Bei? Great Immortal? He was subdued by Zhong Shan in the Minor World. His origin is very mysterious! But why is his Soul Fire so high? "The first skeleton said again.
"It is impossible for skeletons in the Minor World to reach that level. Only skeletons from the Great Thousand World can enter. But when did the Great Thousand World have this skeleton? With such a high Soul Fire, he should have been invited to the sect long ago. He should have even become an elder of the General Alliance! How did he fall to the point of being willing to be a servant? "
All the skeletons were silent.
"Old Fifth, you haven't said anything. Among us, you are the most knowledgeable. What do you think?" The first skeleton asked again.
All the skeletons looked at the smallest black-robed skeleton in the south.
"I, tsk, I don't know what to say!" Old Fifth was in a difficult position.
"What's so hard to say? The five of us have saved each other. There is nothing that can't be said." The first skeleton said again.
"I have a guess, but I don't believe it. But other than this guess, I can't think of anything else!" Old Fifth was in a difficult position.
"Speak! We will listen to you slowly. Your guess has never been wrong. "
All the skeletons looked at Old Fifth.
"Six hundred thousand years ago, do you still know about the major event that happened in my Skeleton Clan?" Old Fifth asked.
"Six hundred thousand years ago?" A skeleton expressed that it was not clear.
"I think I have heard of it. At that time, the King of the Skeleton Clan wasn't the current King, but the previous King. However, the previous King suddenly fell for some unknown reason, and then a new King was born, which is the current King! "The First Skeleton thought for a while and said.
"What Big Brother said is correct. It was only after the previous King died that a new King was born. However, did you all know that the situation back then was that the new King overthrew the previous King's position and replaced him?" Old Fifth said.
"The new king overthrew the previous king's position? In other words, the current king rebelled against the previous king and snatched the throne? "The first skeleton said in surprise.
"Yes, this is a secret in the Skeleton Clan. Moreover, for hundreds of thousands of years, it has always been a taboo for the king. No one dared to mention it. The previous king died? No, the previous king disappeared. For hundreds of thousands of years, the king has been sending trusted skeletons to find the whereabouts of the previous king. It was not until a hundred thousand years ago that the search was relaxed! "Old Fifth said.
"Old Fifth, what do you mean? Wang Bei is the previous king? "Boss asked in surprise.
The other skeletons were also shocked.
"Wang Bei, Skeleton King, Skeleton King, hasn't Wang Bei's name always hinted at his status?" Old Fifth said deeply.
