According to legend, the Four Symbols Continent was a world carried on the backs of four ancient divine beasts.
These four ancient divine beasts were the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Black Tortoise. The Azure Dragon was in charge of the east, the White Tiger was in charge of the west, the Vermilion Bird was in charge of the south, and the Black Tortoise was in charge of the north.
Da Xia, Da Qi, the Royal Court of the Prairie, and a dozen countries of various sizes were all located in the east of the Four Symbols Continent.
Therefore, this place was also known as the "Azure Dragon Continent". Dragons were naturally the guardian beasts of this continent.
This was also the reason why Longevity Heaven's Seventh Elder Zhao Hongzhi was so afraid that the matter of him stealing the Wind-winged Dragon's egg would be exposed. Because if this matter were to spread, everyone in the Azure Dragon Mainland would never forgive him!
Although the Celestial Longevity Plane was a peak-level sect on the Azure Dragon continent and could already be considered as a super-first-rate sect in the entire Four Symbols Continent, they dared not provoke the public's wrath over this matter. Therefore, he would definitely not offend everyone in the Azure Dragon Continent just for Zhao Hongzhi.
The sect was high and mighty. Whether it was the Azure Dragon Continent or the entire Four Symbols Continent, it was the same.
The people of the sects also saw themselves as cultivators, as people of the Immortal Dao. Even though it had been many years since there had been any news of ascension. However, the position of the sect had never wavered.
This was also the reason why many people who had entered sects would look down on the secular world, the imperial power, and everything in the world after they left.
From the looks of it, this was indeed the case. Even the descendants of the royal family would show respect to those who came from the sects. Usually, when people from sects caused trouble in the secular world, even if it was a huge disaster, they would usually turn it into a small one.
After all, the influence of a sect in the secular world was quite terrifying.
But in reality … were the sects and the secular world really two completely different worlds that had no intersection at all?
This was obviously a wrong point of view!
No matter how powerful a sect was, the people living in it were not real immortals! They couldn't reach the level of fasting, but they still needed to eat, drink, and poop. They needed all kinds of resources!
Where did these things come from? Self-sufficient?
Actually, that was impossible!
Self-sufficiency would at most allow these sects to survive, but they would never be able to live a decent life!
They were not real immortals, they were also human beings! Every human had seven emotions and six desires, and they needed to live with dignity and dignity.
So, what to do?
The royal family in the secular world was naturally the best choice.
The people in the sect needed to cultivate, and cultivating required a large amount of Primordial Stones. Where did Primordial Stones come from? Only relying on those primordial stone mines that the sect occupied? No matter how large a primordial stone mine was, there would be a day when it would be emptied.
No matter how strong a sect was, it was impossible to occupy all the primordial stone veins in this world. In the end, there would still be some primal stone veins that would be occupied by secular powers.
These forces were basically all controlled by the royal family in the secular world!
In addition to these, there were far, far too many interactions between sects and the secular world. Of course, ordinary people wouldn't be able to see this at all, nor would they understand it.
But Jiang Qiuyang was different. He was a disciple of a sect, but he was also a member of the royal family in the secular world! He was a prince with an extremely respected status … and he might even become the Crown Prince!
But in the depths of his heart, Jiang Qiuyang, who had spent his childhood, childhood, and adolescence in the sect, and only left the mountain when he was in his twenties, did indeed look down on secular imperial power.
This was also the fundamental reason why he placed more attention on the legend of the Immortal Mansion, even though the matter of the Northern Plains was so important. From his point of view, a small grassland, in front of a sect disciple like him, was like an ant. He could easily crush it!
Even to his own father, the Emperor of the Da Qi Kingdom! Before today, Jiang Qiuyang was more of a son's respect for his father. And it was definitely not respect for imperial power!
Because he had always forgotten one thing, and that was: How did he enter the sect to cultivate!
He had also forgotten that when he was in the sect, his master had once unintentionally mentioned that he had a martial uncle who used to be a deacon in the sect. Because it was difficult for him to make any breakthroughs in his cultivation, and he was tired of the simple life in the sect. So he asked the sect to let him enter the secular world. It was very likely that he stayed in the royal family of the Da Qi Kingdom and became a consecrator.
At that time, Jiang Qiuyang was somewhat disdainful. His master's martial uncle was his martial uncle. It was difficult for him to make breakthroughs in his cultivation … so he definitely wouldn't be very strong.
In the end, his master fiercely reprimanded him, saying, "What do you know? Your martial uncle's strength is much higher than mine! That kind of height is something that you may never reach in your lifetime. What right do you have to laugh at him? "
At that time, Jiang Qiuyang felt that it was difficult to understand. If that martial uncle was so powerful, why would he be so greedy for the secular world? Shouldn't those things in the secular world be abandoned by cultivators?
He still remembered that his master had only shook his head and smiled, saying that one day when he became the Emperor of the Da Qi Kingdom, if he could say such words again, then his master would look at him in a different light.
This matter had actually happened more than ten years ago. At that time, Jiang Qiuyang was still a ten year old child. So, he had long forgotten about this matter.
Today, his father had ruthlessly reprimanded him for a long time. Then, in the end, his father had Coldly said those words to him. In addition, in the golden hall, only his voice could be heard, but no one could see him. This made Jiang Qiuyang suddenly remember that matter.
"This … this is my martial uncle?" Jiang Qiuyang looked at his father who was standing there, emitting the aura of a king. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that his father, whom he had never paid attention to, had suddenly become somewhat tall.
"What? Did someone mention this old man to you? " Along with this calm voice, an old man who looked to be in his fifties appeared in front of Jiang Qiuyang. He wore a grey robe, and looked dry and unattractive. He looked at him with great interest.
"Xianghe Palace … 73rd generation disciple, Jiang Qiuyang, greets martial uncle!" Jiang Qiuyang had always been kneeling there, so he didn't have to kneel again. He obediently bowed to this inconspicuous little old man.
But in his heart, there was a big doubt. Is this the martial uncle that master said … was tired of the simple life in the sect, so he threw himself into the secular world? No matter how he looked at it, there was no fancy clothes and no group of wives and concubines … what was the difference between this and the sect?
The old man looked at Jiang Qiuyang with a smile and said meaningfully, "Young man, the path of cultivation is not easy. If I were you, with such conditions, I would either be an idle Kenn and focus on cultivation, or … think about how to be a wise king. Heh … you are very lucky. Not only do you have the backing of a sect, but you also have the backing of the royal family. Cherish it! "
After saying this, the old man's figure flashed and disappeared in front of Jiang Qiuyang. Jiang Qiuyang didn't even see how this Martial Granduncle, whom he had just met, disappeared. There was only shock in his eyes.
At this time, the king of Da Qi Kingdom, Jiang Hengyu, ordered the officials to withdraw, leaving only Jiang Qiuyang kneeling there alone.
Jiang Hengyu returned to his throne and looked at Jiang Qiuyang for a while. Then, he opened his mouth and said, "Stand up."
Jiang Qiuyang slowly stood up. He lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Jiang Hengyu looked at his favorite son in front of him and said, "You are very curious. Why is such a powerful person working in the royal palace in the secular world?"
"Yes. Master said that martial uncle was tired of the simple life in the sect and had no hope of breaking through. So, he wanted to return to the secular world …" Jiang Qiuyang answered honestly.
"Hehe, tired of the simple life in the sect? You are really … naive! " Jiang Hengyu sneered, "You know, although Mister Sun lives in the royal palace, he doesn't drink or lust. He practices hard every day!"
"Ah!" Although Jiang Qiuyang had guessed it before, he was still surprised when his father confirmed it personally, "Then why did he …"
Jiang Hengyu couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that you didn't listen to what Mister Sun said just now. I can't blame you. Your conditions are too good! You have never lacked cultivation resources since you were young. So, it is normal that you don't understand. "
After saying this, Jiang Hengyu stood up and slowly walked to his son. Looking at his son who was half a head taller than him, Jiang Hengyu raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder, "Young man, you are supported by the royal family! The royal family's resources are always available for you to use. Mister Sun doesn't have it. Although the Xianghe Palace is not inferior to the Longevity Heaven, its resources are limited! Mister Sun is not a cultivation genius and he doesn't have such a powerful force. Why does he need a lot of resources from the Xianghe Palace to cultivate? "
Jiang Qiuyang looked at his father in shock. This was the first time he heard these words. He had never thought about these things before.
"Do you really think that the resources that you have consumed in the Xianghe Palace since you were young were provided by the Xianghe Palace? Are you the kind of genius that they would throw a lot of resources at you? Although I hope that you are, but … you are not! " Jiang Hengyu walked past Jiang Qiuyang and said lightly, "The resources that you have consumed all these years were provided by the Da Qi Kingdom to the Xianghe Palace. Moreover, the resources that you have consumed were not even 1% of the resources. Now, do you understand what the secular imperial power is? "
After saying this, Jiang Hengyu left without saying anything.
In the golden hall, only Jiang Qiuyang was left. He stood there like a statue.
His father's last words kept echoing in his ears, "Now, do you understand what the secular imperial power is?"
"Do you understand what the secular imperial power is?"
"What is the secular imperial power?"
"The secular imperial power!"
After a long time, Jiang Qiuyang's blank eyes suddenly emitted a bright light, and he said loudly, "Imperial Father … I understand!"
At this moment, an old eunuch walked out from a dark corner of the golden palace hall. He looked at Jiang Qiuyang with a respectful expression and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty has given his orders. If you really understand, you can report to the Great Xia's border military camp tomorrow. You will start as a soldier. In a few years, a year, or even sooner … there will be a war. "
"His Majesty wants you to think about it carefully. If you don't understand, you can think about it again. If you really can't think it through, you can go back to the Xianghe Palace. After all, you won't lack resources for cultivation no matter where you go. "
The old eunuch said lightly and looked at Jiang Qiuyang.
Jiang Qiuyang shook his head and said, "I will report to the border barracks tomorrow. I will tell Father that I have thought it through! I want the imperial power of the Da Qi Kingdom to cover the entire Azure Dragon Continent! "
The old eunuch gave a gratified smile, nodded his head, and quietly retreated. It was as if he had never appeared.
Jiang Qiuyang's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "I understand what the imperial power is! I understand the benefits of power! Master, you are right. I have lost. I didn't make you see me in a different light! I am not a god. I used to think that I was above all. But in the future … I won't! "
