After the news of Su Xin's promotion to the Real Martial Arts Level spread throughout Jianghu, the forces that were on good terms with Su Xin were naturally secretly happy, while those forces that had a grudge against Su Xin had a complicated look on their faces.
For example, Shaolin Temple was like this now.
Shaolin Temple had been closed for a year. During this year, Shaolin Temple had concentrated on combing through all the disciples of Shaolin Temple. However, they had only found a few flowery monks who had violated the commandments, but they had not found the person who had leaked the 72 Ultimate Skills.
After that, Shaolin Temple also became much more low-key, and not many monks even went down the mountain. However, now that he had seen the news of Su Xin's promotion to the Real Martial Arts Level, Xuan Ming also sighed secretly. The hatred between them and Su Xin would probably not be resolved in a short time. Su Xin had grown up, and from now on, there would definitely be a place for Su Xin in Jianghu.
However, Shaolin Temple had endured humiliation for many years, and it would not decline because of this.
The last time Su Xin and Meng Jingxian went to Shaolin Temple to ask for people, it did bring a lot of trouble to Shaolin Temple, and even made Shaolin Temple lose face to the extreme.
But at the same time, Shaolin Temple was not without gains.
First of all, because of the humiliation brought by this matter, many monks of Shaolin Temple seemed to be courageous after knowing the shame, and they practiced harder and harder. In a year, there were two warriors of the Xuan generation who had been promoted to the Yang Spirit Realm.
There was also Xuan Zhen, the chief monk of the Sutra Preaching Hall. He was originally at the peak of the Yang Spirit Realm, and even his talent was above Xuan Ming's. However, he suffered from no guidance, so he stayed in the Yang Spirit Realm for more than ten years.
Although he had suffered a crushing defeat in the battle with Su Xin, he had gained a lot of insights, and he no longer rejected Xuan Ku's guidance. Now, Xuan Zhen had stepped into the half-step Real Martial Realm, and it could be said that he had officially stepped onto the road to the Real Martial Realm.
Of course, what made them the happiest was still Xuan Ku. Previously, when he was fighting with Meng Jingxian, Xuan Ku was already half a step into the Divine Bridge Realm. Now, Xuan Ku already had the confidence to advance to the true Divine Bridge Realm. He had not advanced yet because he was waiting for an opportunity. Once the opportunity arrived, Xuan Ku would be able to advance to the Divine Bridge Realm directly.
After suffering for decades, the Shaolin Temple has finally ushered in a surge in strength.
They would definitely return the humiliation that Shaolin Temple had suffered a year ago. However, the most important thing for Shaolin Temple now was to focus on developing their own strength.
At the same time, in the northwest, Su Xin was also developing his own strength in peace.
He still needed to refine the blood that he had absorbed from Arhat Great Joy. Moreover, Su Xin had just advanced to the Real Martial Realm, so he still needed some time to stabilize his cultivation. This would require a long period of closed-door training.
Therefore, Su Xin did not care about the disturbances in the outside world. However, Su Xin's advancement to the Real Martial Realm still affected many people even though he was keeping a low profile now.
At this time, in the imperial city of Shengjing, Ji Xuanyuan was sitting in a pitch-black palace. There were lights in the palace, but he did not light them.
Moreover, sitting opposite Ji Xuanyuan was a warrior in the Yang God Realm. He was dressed in a golden robe and had a small mustache. He looked somewhat elegant.
He was one of the few warriors in the Yang God Realm in the Ji Royal Family, Ji Xuansi.
As the Master of the Ji Royal Family in the Zhou Kingdom, Ji Xuansi kept an extremely low profile. Usually, he suppressed the dragon vein at the bottom of the imperial city and had not made a move for decades.
However, he had recently given up on suppressing the dragon vein of the Zhou Kingdom and openly appeared in public. Gongsun Du, who had targeted Su Xin after defeating the Golden Horde Kingdom, was one of Ji Xuansi's people.
Ji Xuanyuan looked at Ji Xuansi and said, "What are you doing here instead of suppressing the dragon vein?"
Ji Xuansi smiled and said, "Brother Wang, do you still believe in the nonsense about suppressing the dragon vein? Suppressing the Dragon's Vein? That's just suppressing us. Something as illusory as the Dragon's Vein does have some effect, but it's definitely not as mysterious as the fortune-tellers in the Divine Design Valley said.
If suppressing the dragon vein could really ensure the prosperity of the dynasty, then the dynasty in the Central Plains would still be the world of the Great Jin, and it wouldn't be our Zhou Kingdom's turn. "
Ji Xuanyuan said lightly, "I'd rather believe it than not. Alright, stop talking nonsense. Why are you looking for me so late at night?"
"Don't you know that Su Xin has advanced to the True Martial Realm, Brother Wang?" Ji Xuansi asked with a mysterious expression.
"So what if I know?"
Ji Xuansi said in a deep voice, "Su Xin's advancement to the True Martial Realm is not a good thing for the Ji Royal Family. It won't be easy to take back power from the hands of the Six Doors, the military, and a feudal official like Su Xin."
Ji Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "You're still thinking about these things? It's fine to beat Su Xin and the others, but if you really force them into a corner, it won't be good for the Zhou Kingdom. "
Ji Xuansi snorted coldly and said, "Ji Haodian lied to us! When we supported him to ascend to the throne, we also supported his crazy plan to attack the Great Jin. At that time, Ji Haodian didn't have the military by his side, nor did he have the Six Doors. It was all us, the Ji Royal Family, who laid the foundation for him.
But what happened next? Other than the throne, what do we have? The power of the entire Zhou Kingdom is controlled by outsiders. Are you willing to accept this, Brother Wang? "
Ji Xuansi pointed at himself and said, "Don't forget, the Zhou Kingdom belongs to the Zhou Kingdom of the Ji Royal Family!"
Ji Xuanyuan opened his mouth. He wanted to say that the Zhou Kingdom also belonged to the people of the Zhou Kingdom, but he was a member of the Ji Royal Family, so he couldn't bring himself to say it.
After a long while, Ji Xuanyuan sighed and said, "His Majesty was the most outstanding existence among the princes back then. He was worthy of the title of a hero. Moreover, if we hadn't attacked the Central Plains and pulled the Great Jin down, we wouldn't have been able to obtain countless cultivation resources and powerful cultivation methods.
It can be said that it's all thanks to that battle that we have our current cultivation base. If we had stayed in the Barbarian Land of the South, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have been able to merge with the God Realm, let alone the Yang Spirit.
And in that situation, our Zhou Kingdom had nothing. If we didn't give a huge amount of benefits to Tie Ao and the others, why would they choose to join our Zhou Kingdom? "
Ji Xuansi said calmly, "So now that our Zhou Kingdom has been pacified, shouldn't they hand over their power? At the very least, they have to hand over a part of it.
Look at the current Six Doors. When Ji Haodian was still around, he could still plant a few spies in it. Now, the Six Doors was basically the Tie family's word.
There's also the military. The generals are basically breathing out of the same nostrils. The power of the military can only be shared within the military. Outsiders can't even get a drop of water.
What's even more outrageous is that Su Xin. The entire Northwest Road has been turned into his own independent kingdom by him. If we don't take action now, I'm afraid our Ji Royal Family will really have no right to speak in the future. "
At the end of his words, Ji Xuansi took a deep look at Ji Xuanyuan and said, "By the way, the Great Ancestor also knows about these things, and he has already agreed."
Hearing that the Great Ancestor had already agreed, Ji Xuanyuan could only sigh and said, "Well, what do you want me to do? This time, I suppressed Tie Ao and didn't let him help Su Xin. In fact, I've already completely offended Su Xin. "
Ji Xuansi smiled and said, "The time is not ripe yet, so we won't take action now. However, during this time, I'll have to trouble Brother Wang to calm them down, especially that Su Xin. This person acts without fear and is extremely crazy. You must be careful."
Ji Xuanyuan glanced at him. You know Su Xin's personality, yet you still provoked him. Aren't you courting death by doing this?
Ji Xuansi understood what Ji Xuanyuan meant. He smiled and said, "At that time, Su Xin wasn't Zhen Wu yet. Our Ji Royal Family could completely suppress him, so we made that decision. Now, we need to keep a low profile. Brother Wang, I won't disturb you anymore."
With that, Ji Xuansi cupped his hands and turned to leave.
In the dark palace, Ji Xuanyuan sighed.
In fact, there were many members of the Ji Royal Family in the Zhou Kingdom who thought like Ji Xuansi.
In their opinion, as members of the Royal Family, they naturally should have more generous treatment than the Royal Family's Hall of Offerings, and more power than Six Fan School and the military. In the end, they didn't have any of this. How could they accept this?
However, when Ji Haodian was still around, he could suppress these things with his prestige. Now that Ji Haodian was dead, they couldn't blame Ji Xuansi and the others for having other thoughts.
In fact, Ji Xuanyuan himself was very much in favor of Ji Haodian's approach. He wanted to curb the power of the Ji Royal Family and prevent them from disturbing a country with their power alone.
In the past, the State of Jin had fallen because the Ji Royal Family was afraid of the power of the ministers in the court. In the end, they lost the people's support, which led to the fall of the State of Jin.
Although the Zhou Kingdom hadn't reached this point yet, Ji Xuanyuan seemed to have seen this trend.
However, at the same time, Ji Xuanyuan couldn't say much. After all, he was a member of the Ji Royal Family. He had to consider part of the Ji Royal Family's interests.
Ji Xuanyuan shook his head and cast aside all these messy thoughts. Putting everything else aside, at the very least, the current strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still very strong, enough to suppress the martial arts world.
At this time, far away on the Good Fortune Gate on the Qingzhou Road, 'Daolord Jiuhua' Zhang Boduan knocked on the door of Li Boyang's seclusion place with a solemn expression. He said in a low voice, "Senior Brother, there's some bad news from Shaolin Temple. Xuan Ku is already at the Divine Bridge Realm and can advance to the Divine Bridge Realm at any time.
At the same time, Xuan Zhen has also stepped into half a step into the True Martial Realm. It's only a matter of time before he breaks through. The Xuan generation in Shaolin Temple has completely risen and is even more powerful than we imagined. We have to guard against this. "
If Zhang Boduan's words were heard by the people in Shaolin Temple, they would completely explode.
This was because the two things that Zhang Boduan said were only circulated among the higher-ups of Shaolin Temple. Even some ordinary disciples didn't know about it. In the end, Zhang Boduan had gotten hold of them. Looking at this matter carefully, it was extremely terrifying.
