They didn't know how he managed to get this information, but Miao Yi himself would probably be dumbfounded if he heard it. He hadn't even managed to cozy up to Kou Wenlan, so when did he manage to cozy up to the Kou Heavenly King?
But then again, Yun Zhiqiu had only given them three days to gather information. What could they possibly find out in three days? They were unfamiliar with the place, so they only heard what others said. Those who knew the inside story had at least some background, so they wouldn't tell strangers about the upper echelons of the Heavenly Court. In the eyes of most of them, Miao Yi had cozied up to the Kou Heavenly King.
Situ Xiao gulped when he heard that Miao Yi had cozied up to the Kou Heavenly King and even received the Celestial Emperor's title. Normally, only those in the Colorful Lotus realm could be conferred the title of a Purple Armored General in the Heavenly Court, but Miao Yi had managed to cozy up to the position of a Purple Armored General?
It was one thing for him to be ignorant, but now that he understood the structure of the higher realms, he realized that even though he was one of the Six Sages, he was nothing in the higher realms. What kind of people were the Celestial Emperor and the Kou Heavenly King? Even a Colorful Lotus realm cultivator was enough for him to admire, let alone the Celestial Emperor and the Kou Heavenly King. They were at the pinnacle of the Infinite Transcendence Energy realm. They could kill you with a single sneeze.
Situ Xiao couldn't describe his current feelings. He slowly asked, "Have you found out about our cultivation arts?"
"Even I am a little nervous when I speak of it!" Wang Daolin said with a fearful expression, "Master! Our cultivation arts are indeed extraordinary in the higher realms. The cultivation arts of the Six Sages are actually the Six Great Mystical Arts of the higher realms. "
"Six Great Mystical Arts?" Situ Xiao perked up and asked, "Can they be listed among the top cultivation arts of the higher realms?"
"They can definitely be listed. The Six Great Mystical Arts were cultivated by the previous Six Supremes who ruled the higher realms. However, after they were overthrown by the current Celestial Emperor and the Buddhist Lord, anyone who had anything to do with the Six Supremes would be listed as traitors and viewed as the remnants of the previous dynasty!" Wang Daolin smiled bitterly. "Miao Yi is right. Our cultivation arts cannot be publicized in the higher realms. Otherwise, we will immediately become traitors and be surrounded by the Celestial Court's troops!"
"Traitor …" Situ Xiao was immediately dumbfounded. He had never been to the outside world. He had only just found out about the existence of the Six Great Supremes. Who would have thought that he would inexplicably become a traitor of the Great World? Should he still go to that big world of his dreams?
He finally understood why Miao Yi wasn't interested in his cultivation technique. Let him play with it. His cultivation method was indeed not to be trifled with …
Within Immortal Sage Mu Fanjun's room.
After listening to her disciple's story, Mu Fanjun asked in bewilderment, "If that's the case, then Miao Yi does indeed have quite a bit of influence in the outside world?"
Zong Zhen nodded and said, "It is indeed so. Everyone publicly acknowledges that Heaven Street is the most prosperous place in the great world. It was also the most lucrative place. It would be difficult to become a commander of a district without a strong background, let alone the commander of the entire Heavenly Street! Not too long ago, something big happened over there. Even now, it's still a hot topic in the higher realms. Everyone who goes to Heaven's Origin Planet's Heaven Street is talking about Miao Yi. "
Mu Fanjun hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
Zong Zhen said, "Apparently, the Celestial Court's nobles have their eyes on the position of commander of the Four Districts of Heaven Street. They sent someone to Miao Yi to mediate the situation, but Miao Yi didn't give them any face. As a result, a bunch of shopkeepers in Heaven Street wanted to force Miao Yi to step down. Who would have thought that Miao Yi would immediately mobilize his subordinates to seal off all the entrances to Celestial Avenue? Closing the door behind them, he immediately sent out his troops to capture the slaves. He swept through several hundred shops belonging to the Celestial Court's nobles, raided the shops, and captured the slaves. Over five thousand slaves of the Celestial Court's nobles were gathered together, and Miao Yi forced them to kneel in front of everyone. That wasn't the end of it. At Miao Yi's command, he publicly beheaded over three thousand slaves, killing them until their blood flowed like a river! At the time, everyone thought that Miao Yi was doomed. Who would have thought that Miao Yi would come out unscathed? If he didn't have a strong background, how would he dare to go against the majority of the Celestial Court's nobles? It's clear that the rumors are true. Miao Yi does have a strong background and influence in the outside world. Otherwise, he would never dare to do such a thing! "
Mu Fanjun drew a sharp breath upon hearing this. The heads of over three thousand servants of the Heavenly Court's nobles? She was also a ruler, so it didn't take her long to realize just how much trouble Miao Yi had stirred up in the Heavenly Court. How could he be fine even after all that?
She finally understood why Miao Yi didn't care about them at all. In his eyes, they were nothing more than trash. If it weren't for the fact that she had a hostage in her hands, they would have died. Perhaps Miao Yi would have already brought his men over and annihilated them. Just thinking about it gave him a lingering fear.
After pondering for a moment, Mu Fanjun asked, "Since Miao Yi was able to trade a store's worth of shares for an official position, if we were to invest a little, would we be able to use the same method to establish connections in the higher realms?"
"…" Zong Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Master, perhaps you still don't know how much Miao Yi's shares are worth. Even if we sold the entire small world, it would still be far from that amount. I only realized how poor we are after wandering around there. Not just a little bit poor, but very poor. I can't even afford a single good item. It's said that Miao Yi had no other choice but to give it away. He did it to save his own life. If it wasn't worth a lot of money, he wouldn't have been able to cozy up to the Kou Heavenly King. Now, that Morality Sundry Goods Store is one of the most profitable businesses in the higher realms. Even many nobles in the Heavenly Court are envious of it. Miao Yi must have put in a lot of effort to get to where he is today. It wasn't easy for him to gain a foothold in the higher realms. You could even say that he forcefully opened up the market. With our current conditions, I'm afraid it's impossible for us to immediately establish ourselves in the outside world. Even if Miao Yi's luck is pretty good, he still has to endure for a few hundred years. If we really go there, we'll have to endure for a while. "
Mu Fanjun was speechless. She didn't know what to feel …
Back in the harem, Lord Miao was in deep trouble. Yun Zhiqiu didn't believe that his guilty conscience was because he felt sorry for her. After all, how many years had they slept together? How could he possibly fool her with such words?
Under repeated pressure, Miao Yi had no choice but to tell her about how Hong Chen had approached him. However, he didn't mention that he had sworn to marry Hong Chen all those years ago. He couldn't say that. If Yun Zhiqiu found out that he had said such things to another woman before marrying her, she would definitely pounce on him and bite him to death.
After hearing everything, Yun Zhiqiu calmed down. She left Miao Yi behind and slowly paced around the garden with a frown on her face. Miao Yi carefully followed behind her. He already had three concubines and a bunch of concubines at home, and he even had to marry more. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he still felt guilty. How could Yun Zhiqiu endure such a thing?
He had wanted Hong Chen to talk to Yun Zhiqiu about this herself. He didn't want to say it, but he couldn't. Now, he was forced to.
Stopping beside a trimmed potted plant, Yun Zhiqiu turned around and asked, "You agreed?"
Miao Yi shrugged. "How could I agree? If I did, do you think I would have kept it a secret from you?"
Yun Zhiqiu raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Why are you feeling guilty if you didn't agree? You probably still want to agree, don't you? "
Miao Yi immediately puffed out his chest and said with a straight face, "I definitely don't have such thoughts!"
"Pfft!" Yun Zhiqiu scoffed, "If I don't agree, and something happens to your little sister, will you hate me for the rest of your life?"
Miao Yi denied, "You're overthinking things. I will never agree to this. I will think of a way to deal with Mu Fanjun."
"That's enough!" Yun Zhiqiu turned around and walked away, swaying her hips as she walked. With her back facing Miao Yi, she said, "Fine, marry her then. Go talk to Mu Fanjun later. As long as you can convince her, I won't have any objections. After all, you'll have to think of a way to support yourself after you marry her."
'Huh?! Hong Chen really guessed it? ' Miao Yi hurriedly caught up to her and asked to confirm, "You really agree?"
Yun Zhiqiu stopped in her tracks and abruptly turned around, glaring at Miao Yi as if she wanted to eat him alive. She could agree to this, but Commander Miao definitely couldn't. If he really spoiled her to this extent, who knew how many more wives her family would have to marry in the future?
Miao Yi was startled. His expression froze on his face as he slowly backed away. He knew this woman was about to flip out.
"And you're saying you don't want to?" Yun Zhiqiu suddenly screamed like a madwoman. She launched a kick from under her skirt, but Miao Yi reacted quickly and dodged it.
As soon as he dodged, something bad happened!
"You shameless bastard. You're eating from the bowl, but you're looking at the pot. You're always flirting around and flirting with other women, and you still dare to hide from me?" Yun Zhiqiu immediately went berserk. He let out a shrill cry as he pounced on Miao Yi, grabbing him and tearing him apart.
Miao Yi immediately stopped dodging. Feeling guilty, he didn't even have the courage to fight back. He crouched on the ground and hugged his head, allowing his wife to vent her anger on him and give him a good beating!
Meanwhile, Mu Fanjun, Cang Lei, Situ Xiao, and Ji Huan had all come to Yun Aotian's side at the same time.
For the Five Sages, the news brought back by the five disciples they had sent to the macro world was too much of a shock. That vast and boundless macro world was still very mysterious to them. The five disciples had only stayed there for three days, and the information they had obtained was only so-so. A glimpse was enough to know the whole picture. It was clear that there were still many unknowns in the macro world waiting for them to explore.
What annoyed the Five Sages the most was still the matter of their own cultivation art. They hadn't even been to the higher realm, yet they had already become traitors of the Heavenly Court after hearing some news. What the hell!
It felt like they had just swallowed a fly while eating. The five of them wanted nothing more than to give Miao Yi a good beating. That bastard just had to go out of his way to specifically ask them about his cultivation art first. Otherwise, who would've asked about it when they were scouting for information? If they hadn't asked, they wouldn't have known. But the moment they did, they were utterly disgusted by Miao Yi.
It was as if they were about to starve to death, and a table full of delicious food was suddenly placed in front of them. Just as they were about to pounce on it, a chef with the surname Miao leisurely strolled out and told them that the food was poisoned, and they would die if they ate it. They had to think carefully before eating it!
