In front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Almost everyone who had reached a certain level of cultivation looked towards the southwest of Linzi City.
Five rays of light shot up into the sky, entangling with each other as they collided with the distant stars.
In this clear day, in the southwest corner of the sky, a star suddenly lit up. It was so bright at this moment, almost competing with the sun!
Everyone knew that it was not a star. It was a Star Tower erected by a cultivator who had broken through to the next realm. It was the first time it had shown its brilliance in the present world!
This "star" flashed and disappeared.
The sky was still only illuminated by the sun.
The scene of the five rays of light in the sky was also like an illusion.
But who could forget this scene?
Since ancient times, there were countless cultivators who had broken through to the Inner Mansion and stepped into the Outer Mansion. How many people could create such a phenomenon?
The entire Linzi City was boiling.
The people waiting in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple were even more excited.
"This is the Five Mansions Glory! Peerless beauty! "
"It is indeed the Heavenly Abode!"
"Chongxuan is really the Heavenly Abode!"
"He actually reached the Outer Mansion with the Heavenly Abode!"
The civil and military officials, the noble ministers, and the high and mighty people could not help but whisper to each other and discuss.
"Good!" In the area where the nobles were gathered, a loud shout suddenly sounded. Chongxuan Mingguang suddenly stepped forward and clenched his fist in front of him, "Like father, like son! My son has done well! "
He was used to socializing. Today, it was impossible for him not to come out to "make friends". Therefore, even if he was not interested in the martial arts competition, he still dressed up and came out.
Not far away, Chung Geng Sheng was not frightened by the scene of the Five Mansions Glory, because he had already expected it … Instead, he was almost stunned by his uncle's shout. He could not help but roll his eyes.
Fourteen, who was standing beside him, silently moved closer, as if to say, "Don't be afraid."
No matter how powerful the Junggenjia family was, there were many people who were not inferior to them in today's occasion. Moreover, Zhongxuan Mingguang was famous for idling around. He was a wanderer from young to old. No one really took him seriously.
But at this time, no one stood out to reprimand him.
It was really …
His son was too strong.
Even Da Qi's prime minister, Jiang Rumo, glanced at Chongxuan's Mingguang without batting an eyelid and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It was said that the eldest son of the Marquis of Chongxuan was a mere figurehead, with a golden exterior and a rotten interior.
However, Jiang Rumo felt that this Chongxuan Mingguang was really born with good fortune. He was born in the Junggenjia, a top-notch family. He was born with good looks and lived a life of luxury. He lived a carefree and unrestrained life. When he was young, he naturally had the Junggenjia to shelter him from the wind and rain. When he was a little older and needed to take responsibility, his younger brother, Chongxuan Mingtu, was born.
There was no ugly matter of brothers fighting each other, because there was no possibility of fighting.
Chongxuan Mingguang continued to be carefree.
When Zhongxuan Mingguang lost his power, Zhongxuan Mingguang would have to face some pressure in life. His cousin, Zhongxuan Chuliang, had won the title of 'Vicious Butcher' in another battle …
Until now, the Junggenjia had two Marquises. His son, Jung Genzun, really lived up to the name of Tianjiao. His five prefectures were glorious, and the Star Building was like the stars. He suppressed his peers to the point that they lost their colors.
Counting carefully, in the sixty years of Chongxuan Mingguang's life, had he ever suffered a little? He played from young to old! He did not worry about the past, nor did he worry about the future!
This was much more comfortable than being a prime minister!
Compared to the discussions on the viewing platform, everyone had their own thoughts. On the square, Bao Bozhao and Xie Bao Shu could not simply sigh. Their faces changed. Even the female general, Chaoyu, was moved.
There was no other reason. The Qi Emperor had summoned Jung Genzun because he wanted to become the number one expert in the Inner Mansion Stage.
But now that Jung Genzun had completed the breakthrough, the place he wanted to fight for was in the Outer Mansion Stage.
In other words, at this moment, this peerless Tianjiao who had stolen the glory of his peers had become their competitor!
Originally, they were sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. Now, they were walking with the tigers!
… …
… …
In Jixia Academy.
The young master who was reading just now said, "This is my humiliation …"
Thus, he put down his book.
Thus, the five prefectures were glorious, and the Star Building was instantly erected, causing a sensation in Linzi.
He did not indulge in this extremely resplendent scene. His hands clenched, and the stars in the sky dimmed.
He didn't care what the old instructor was thinking. He just stood up and took his book. "Teacher, I'll go now."
He strode out of the pavilion, his white robe fluttering as he stepped into the air.
This person's magnificence …
It was only when this white-robed young master's figure disappeared into the air that this senior teacher of Jixia Academy suddenly regained his senses.
Only then did he realize that his shoes … had actually stepped into the water!
Outside Jixia Academy, the imperial messenger waited for a long time. Finally, Jung Genzun, who was holding a book, appeared behind the ancient stone archway.
The imperial messenger hurriedly cleared his throat, raised his voice, and was about to announce the imperial edict —
A raised hand stopped him.
"Please forgive Jung Genzun for not being able to accept the imperial edict." That noble young master in snow-white robes smiled slightly. This smile made the light in his eyes become much gentler. "Because I have already fulfilled my promise and left Jixia Academy."
The imperial messenger was stunned. Only then did he recall that there was indeed such an imperial edict last year, which ordered Jung Genzun to study in Jixia Academy for a year before breaking through and leaving.
Today's imperial edict was to order Jung Genzun to leave seclusion early.
However, Jung Genzun had already broken through and left seclusion himself …
How could this imperial edict be announced?
The imperial messenger fell into an unprecedented confusion.
Jung Genzun had already strode away. "However, for this Yellow River Meeting … I will fulfill Your Majesty's wish!"
...
...
In front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple...
Above the Pill Emperor...
The Emperor of Da Qi was sitting in silence.
Jiang Wuqi, who was sitting on the right, looked at the sky in the northwest corner of Linzi City. There was a hint of eagerness in his eyes, but in the end, he suppressed it and smiled.
Empress He said happily, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Da Qi's Tianjiao has produced many geniuses. It's all thanks to your virtuous governance."
The Emperor of Da Qi raised his hand and chuckled. "Since ancient times, Tianjiao has its own destiny. If virtuous governance … I am satisfied that the world can enjoy and the people can live in peace. This is also thanks to the Empress. "
The Empress said humbly, "It's my duty to pacify the harem. I can't compare to Your Majesty's efforts. "
Jiang Wuhua, Jiang Wuyou, and Jiang Wuxie, no matter what they were thinking, all had smiles on their faces.
Of course, Jiang Wuyou was the happiest among them.
Because Jung Genzun had entered the outer tower, Jiang Wang no longer had any obstacles in front of him.
The Emperor of Da Qi looked at her bright and sunny face. "Wuyou, I forgot to ask. You said that you were looking at the Tianjiao of Da Qi. Who do you think is worthy of your attention?"
Jiang Wuyou didn't hesitate and said directly, "Ji Zhaonan is Tianjiao. As for the rest, Erchen thinks that Jiang Qingyang is the best! "
In other words, Bao Bozhao, Xie Baoshu, Chao Yu, Cui Ju, and Lei Zhanqian were all inferior to Jiang Wang.
As for Ji Zhaonan, he was the disciple of the War God and was almost a generation older than Jiang Wang. When Jiang Wuyou compared the two, she actually thought more highly of Jiang Wang.
The people present naturally knew about the Tianya Stage and that Jiang Wuyou had bet heavily on Jiang Wang. From the looks of it, she had successfully created a reputation for Jiang Wang.
"Oh?" The Emperor of Da Qi seemed to be interested and asked again, "If Jung Genzun hadn't broken through, do you think Jiang Qingyang would still be the best?"
If he couldn't even get first place in the Inner Mansion and needed someone else to give it to him, then he naturally wouldn't be the best.
Jiang Wuyou smiled valiantly. "Erchen thinks that even if Chongxuan is in front of him, Jiang Qingyang won't pale in comparison!"
"Ahem, ahem." Jiang Wuqi couldn't help but cough twice.
He had always admired Jiang Wang as if he were looking at any outstanding talent in the country. However, he didn't think that Jiang Wang could be a match for Jung Genzun. He had seen the battle between Jiang Wang and his cousin Lei Zhanqian with his own eyes and knew very well that Lei Zhanqian had the upper hand in terms of strength. Although Jiang Wang was now famous overseas, he didn't think that Lei Zhanqian had no chance of winning. As for Lei Zhanqian … there was no way he could challenge Jung Genzun.
Crown Prince Jiang Wuhua chuckled as he listened to his father and sister talk. He seemed to enjoy this kind of warmth very much.
Jiang Wuxie, on the other hand, smiled and drank a cup of wine. There was a trace of bitterness in his smile that he couldn't swallow.
Speaking of which, among all the princes and princesses of Da Qi, he was the first to express goodwill to Jiang Wang. He had even promised him a position as a clan relative as soon as he left the Seven Star Secret Realm. It couldn't be said that he wasn't sincere.
Before Jiang Qingyang went out to sea, he had also been the first one to find him.
It wasn't that he didn't believe in Jiang Wang's potential. On the contrary, he believed in him very much. In the game of life and death on the floating continent, Jiang Wang had flown over and slashed Lei Zhanqian with a sword full of billions of starlight … That moment had already amazed him.
He had only been waiting for the best offer. He wanted to use his irreplaceable resources to get a better offer.
He hadn't expected his third sister, Jiang Wuyou, to be so decisive and straightforward. She had only met Jiang Wang once, but she hadn't hesitated to make a big bet. He had never known that the empress of Huaying Palace was such a gambling addict.
At their level, they naturally had a lot of resources at their disposal. However, there were even more people to feed and more resources to operate their forces. No matter how many resources they had, they simply didn't have enough to go around. They had to be very careful about who they bet on and who they cooperated with.
This was because in the grand game of Qi, the few of them who were qualified to compete for the throne had been stuck in a stalemate all this time. It was hard to say who would win in one fell swoop. They had all been holding their own while accumulating every inch of advantage.
Before Jiang Wang had gone to Huaying Palace, he hadn't been in a hurry. He assumed that the other party would know how generous his offer was after weighing the pros and cons. But who would have thought …
By the time Jiang Wang rose to fame on the Tianya Stage, Jiang Wuyou would be the judge of the duel, wielding the Square-Heaven Ghost Halberd.
While waiting for news in Linzi, he suddenly realized …
Jiang Wang himself was an irreplaceable resource. His Yangxin Palace wasn't.
At least Huaying Palace, Changsheng Palace, and Changle Palace were all eyeing him covetously. Even if he searched the entire State of Qi, he couldn't find another prodigy who was more suitable to bet on than Jiang Wang.
Jung Genzun was, of course, the best Tianjiao. But he was also a legitimate son of a prestigious family. Could he bet on him? Would he accept his bet?
Even for Jiang Wang, who didn't have any foundation in Qi, if it weren't for the Sea-fishing Tower incident, would he submit to any prince or princess of Tianjiao?
He only needed to be loyal to Qi and Emperor Qi, and cultivate step by step. There was no need to take the risk of competing for the throne!
There were too many smart people in this world. Anyone with potential had countless hands pushing carts full of Dao Origin Stones, waiting for an opportunity to bet.
Didn't you see that when the Political Affairs Hall drew up the list of names for the Yellow River Gathering?
Jiang Wuxie drank and didn't say anything.
Not to mention how the ladies felt, Emperor Da Qi was also a little confused by Jiang Wuyou's answer.
With the tolerance of a father to his daughter, he asked with a smile, "I'm afraid it's difficult for the Heaven Battling Palace of the Three Palaces to do it, right?"
Empress He also smiled and said, "Although I believe in Wuyou's foresight, but in this case … it's almost impossible."
"Yes, it's impossible."
Jiang Wuyou sat up straight and looked very heroic. "How could a 19-year-old boy change the will of a Perfected Cultivator and save a condemned prisoner at the Sea-fishing Tower? How could a mere Inner Palace cultivator kill more than a hundred sea race commanders in nine days? How could a lonely boy from a small place win a life-and-death battle with Tianjiao, one of the biggest sects in the world? How could a Perfected Cultivator be unable to save him? "
"These are all impossible."
Jiang Wuyou put his hand on the table and looked around. "A hero is someone who can make the impossible possible."
Everyone was silent.
Yes. If so many impossible things had been done by the young man standing on the square with his hand on his sword, it would have been impossible. Was it really impossible for the Three Palaces to challenge Tianjiao?
"Sister," Jiang Wuqi said softly, "I believe that even Jiang Qingyang himself doesn't always expect miracles."
"So, Wuqi, you don't understand Jiang Qingyang at all. That's why you think that Lei Zhanqian is still a match for him, "Jiang Wuyou smiled." Jiang Qingyang doesn't expect miracles. He only creates facts. He only fulfilled his words one by one. When he said that he would go to the Battle of the Yellow River, I believed that he could do it. "
In fact, when she first saw the battle between Jiang Wang and Lei Zhanqian in that shabby martial arts arena, she also felt that Lei Zhanqian and Jiang Wang had a great chance of winning, but lost because of insufficient preparation.
But after witnessing Jiang Wang's journey to the coastal waters with her own eyes, there was no possibility of comparing the two in her heart.
Lei Zhanqian's so-called arrogance of monopolizing the universe was only the arrogance of his family background and talent. And Jiang Qingyang's neither servile nor overbearing steps forward was the true unyielding pride that came from his heart.
Seeing Jiang Wuyou so serious, Jiang Wuqi paused for a moment, then said, "It seems that he's really an amazing person to be able to gain Sister's attention. I'll wait and see. "
Da Qi's Empress glanced at Jiang Wang from afar and saw the young man in her eyes. Suddenly, she smiled at the Emperor. "Our Wuyou rarely admires a person so much. This Empress thinks that Jiang Qingyang is indeed a talented person who stands out from the crowd. Your Majesty, haven't you always been worried about Wuyou's marriage? Why don't you take this person as the Prince Consort? In this Empress's opinion, only such a heroic man will not bring shame to our Wuyou. "
Da Qi's Emperor didn't immediately express his opinion after hearing this.
However, Jiang Wuyou immediately stood up and said to He Huangli, "Erchen is very grateful for Imperial Mother's concern for Erchen. It's just that Imperial Mother doesn't understand Erchen. Erchen doesn't want to be a wife and raise children. It's also not a hero's nature to enjoy flowers and grass. Jiang Wang naturally has the appearance of a hero, but Erchen also has the ambition to be a hero. This is not something ordinary people can do! "
Empress He's gentle blade could kill a strong enemy with a smile. It seemed that every sentence was for Jiang Wuyou's good. If it were any other princess, Jiang Wang, who had an excellent reputation in Tianjiao, would be a good match.
But who was Jiang Wuyou?
She was the Huaying Palace Master, someone who was qualified to compete for the position of heir. It just so happened that her husband couldn't be the most dazzling.
Otherwise, if she ascended the throne one day, who would be in charge of Da Qi?
Was this Jiang that Jiang?
With so many choices, how could Da Qi's royal family take this risk?
Therefore, she cared about Jiang Wuyou's marriage and found a "good match" for Jiang Wuyou precisely because she wanted to easily push Jiang Wuyou out of the competition for the position of heir.
That was why Jiang Wuyou stood up angrily and immediately refuted.
Her attitude could be said to be fierce. Not only did she refute the idea of the Emperor's son-in-law, but she also stabbed the Crown Prince.
Of all the people present, only Crown Prince Jiang Wuhua liked to take care of flowers and plants.
This was not a hero's nature. How could he shoulder Da Qi's empire?
The Empress made a move against her, so she hit the snake where it hurt. She turned around and looked for Jiang Wuhua.
Jiang Wuqi and Jiang Wuxie, one looking at their shoes and the other at their wine cups, didn't seem to notice the sudden confrontation at the Pill Emperor's banquet, which had been as warm and affectionate as a family banquet.
They would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, not join in the fun.
