Su Xin did not care about the turmoil in Jianghu. After this matter was over, Su Xin did not return to the Northwest Road. Instead, he directly went to the Hades to verify martial arts with Dizang Of Goguryeo and King Yanluo.
At the level of the Real Martial Realm, everyone had already walked their own path. Although Dizang Of Goguryeo was a Divine Bridge Master, Su Xin and King Yanluo might also give some inspiration to Dizang Of Goguryeo in some areas.
Therefore, the three of them verified martial arts together, which was beneficial to all three of them.
At this time, in Shengjing City, Ji Xuanyuan held the information about the battle at the Shaolin Temple sent by the Six Fan School. He could not help but shake his head. What an eventful period.
However, fortunately, there was no real winner in this battle, so the imperial court could also let out a sigh of relief.
Although the Celestial Court and the Hades were strong, as long as they did not provoke the imperial court, the imperial court would naturally not provoke them.
The Zhou Kingdom had always been vigilant about these two hidden forces. Of course, as long as they did not go too far, the Zhou Kingdom would not care about their affairs. Moreover, with the current strength of the Zhou Kingdom, unless they mobilized the elite forces in Shengjing City, they would not dare to interfere with the affairs of the Heaven and Earth Palace.
"Go and give the memorial to His Majesty and let him approve it."
Ji Xuanyuan sorted out the news and the response that the imperial court should do. He wrote the memorial and gave it to a little eunuch, asking him to give it to Ji Yancheng for approval.
Of course, this was just a process. The current Ji Xuanyuan was no different from the Regent. Ji Yancheng certainly did not dare to say a word against the decision he made.
After the little eunuch left, Ji Xuanyuan rubbed his head with a headache. Most of the things he was doing now were what an emperor should do, so the authority he held was even greater than that of an emperor, Ji Yancheng.
Logically speaking, Ji Xuanyuan should be happy to have such great power, but unfortunately, Ji Xuanyuan had chosen martial arts from the beginning. Dealing with these chores all day long had also delayed his cultivation.
Seeing that the members of the Celestial Court's Hades, and even the junior Su Xin had advanced to the True Martial Realm, Ji Xuanyuan was a little anxious.
At every point in time, some True Martial Realm powerhouses would grow old, but at the same time, there would be new True Martial Realm powerhouses rising, just like now.
However, it was extremely difficult to become an Earth Immortal of the True Martial Realm. Talent, perseverance, and luck were indispensable.
It was already good enough for one out of ten Yang Spirit Realm warriors to reach this step. The rest would all be trapped in the Yang Spirit Realm for the rest of their lives, and in the end, they would die of old age.
The current Ji Xuanyuan did not lack talent. In the Ji royal family, his talent was not the first, but it was no problem for him to be in the top three.
He also did not lack perseverance. For example, Ji Xuansi and the others were complaining that Ji Haodian had deprived the Ji royal family of most of their power, but Ji Xuanyuan had never said such a thing. Since the establishment of the Zhou Kingdom, he had helped the Zhou Kingdom fight and kill. After the Zhou Kingdom was pacified, he had been training in seclusion. Now, he was standing at the peak of the Yang Spirit Realm before he was even 100 years old.
As for luck, it was hard to say. Take Mo Ge for example. In the past, when the Zhou Kingdom and the Golden Horde Kingdom were in conflict, Ji Xuanyuan had dealt with Mo Ge a lot. Ji Xuanyuan believed that Mo Ge was definitely not as good as him, and also not as good as Lin Zongyue. But now, Mo Ge had advanced to the True Martial Realm before him and Lin Zongyue. This could only be said to be a matter of luck.
Ji Xuanyuan was a little annoyed. His current strength had reached a bottleneck. If he could take the last step and advance to the True Martial Realm within a few decades, it would be fine. If he could not, when his lifespan was more than half, the power of his Qi and blood would probably start to stop growing. At that time, it would be almost impossible for him to go further.
So now, Ji Xuanyuan wanted to use a few years to support Ji Yancheng. After that, he would completely live in seclusion and attack the True Martial Realm with all his strength. In any case, in Ji Xuanyuan's opinion, the temptation of the True Martial Realm was much greater than the power in his hands.
However, at this moment, a little eunuch suddenly came in and reported, "Master, King Kaoshan invites you."
"Old Ancestor invites me?"
Ji Xuanyuan frowned. He did not know why Ji Wuling was looking for him, but he still immediately got up and went to Ji Wuling's residence.
As the Old Ancestor of the Ji Royal Family and the last guardian of the Ji Royal Family, it could be said that Ji Wuling's position in the Ji Royal Family was the highest, even higher than the Emperor.
If the Emperor died, he could still be reelected. Ji Hao had more than a dozen sons, and there were many people in the direct line of descent, but there was only one True Martial Realm expert in the Ji Royal Family.
Now, if the Ji Royal Family did not have a True Martial Realm expert, it could be said that there was no need for the Zhou Kingdom to exist.
After all, the current Zhou Kingdom was closer to a union of interests, and the Ji Royal Family was the leader. However, if there was a day that the leader's strength was not even as good as the people below him, then what was the point of this leader's existence?
So these years, most of the resources of the Zhou Kingdom were used to provide for Ji Wuling's cultivation.
In fact, there should be another True Martial Realm expert in the Ji Royal Family. Unfortunately, because the Zhou Kingdom had broken off relations with Du Yuansheng's Sanxiang Martial Union, that True Martial Realm expert had died from serious injuries when he ambushed "Mad Lion" Du Yuansheng. Therefore, in the Ji Royal Family, everything was under Ji Wuling's leadership.
Ji Xuanyuan pushed open the door of the largest palace in the depths of the Imperial City. Ji Wuling sat cross-legged in the center with his eyes closed and a serious expression on his face.
Before Ji Wuling had advanced to the True Martial Realm, he was responsible for teaching martial arts to Ji Xuanyuan and the other members of the Ji Royal Family. Therefore, these warriors of the Ji Royal Family could be said to be Ji Wuling's disciples, and they were naturally afraid of him.
Now that he saw Ji Wuling, Ji Xuanyuan immediately straightened his body, cupped his hands, and bowed. "Greetings, Great Ancestor."
Ji Wuling nodded and said, "Sit there and wait. Everyone will be here soon."
Ji Xuanyuan nodded and sat on a futon below Ji Wuling. At the same time, he was thinking about why Ji Wuling had asked him to come and who else would come later.
However, as soon as he sat down, the Su King, Ji Xuansi, and three warriors of the Yang God Realm pushed open the door and entered.
Seeing the three people, Ji Xuanyuan immediately frowned because the three people behind Ji Xuansi were warriors of the Yang God Realm of the Ji Royal Family. However, the three of them were also responsible for guarding the Dragon's Vein. Normally, they would not show up at all. What did they mean by appearing here now? Ji Xuanyuan suddenly thought of something, but he did not take the initiative to ask.
Ji Wuling coughed and said in a deep voice, "Xuansi, now that everyone is here, tell me what you want to do."
Ji Xuansi stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Yes, Great Ancestor."
As he spoke, Ji Xuansi turned his gaze to Ji Xuanyuan and said, "Brother Wang, you haven't forgotten what I told you last time, have you?"
Ji Xuanyuan glanced at him and said lightly, "Of course I haven't forgotten, but what are you going to do? The Six Fan School and the military are not to be trifled with, especially Su Xin. I have dealt with him the most. If you want to use force, you will be forcing the imperial court to break off relations with Su Xin. Do you want to do such a stupid thing? Don't forget how the previous dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, was destroyed.
And not to mention the previous dynasty, don't you know what just happened at the Shaolin Temple? The Shaolin Temple forced away Xuan Tan, who has the strength of the Kamibashi Area. Now, are we going to force away Su Xin, who has the strength of the Real Martial Realm, and the entire Northwest Road? "
Ji Xuansi smiled and said, "Of course not, Brother Wang. I'm not an idiot. Why would I do such a thing?
Although the Zhou Kingdom is the Zhou Kingdom of the Ji Royal Family, it can't do without the protection of these people. Otherwise, the Zhou Kingdom wouldn't be the Zhou Kingdom, but an aristocratic family.
Although I don't have a good impression of Ji Haodian, I can't deny that the way Ji Haodian dealt with the forces of the Zhou Kingdom was good. That was to balance the power in their hands! "
Ji Xuanyuan glanced at Ji Xuansi. He had a lot of resentment towards Ji Haodian. Even in front of the Great Ancestor, he called Ji Haodian by his name.
Of course, Ji Haodian was already dead, and in terms of age, Ji Haodian was considered their junior. So even if Ji Wuling heard him, he didn't say anything.
Ji Xuanyuan furrowed his brows and said, "Balance? If you want to balance them, you need someone first. There are only so many people in the Ji Royal Family. Although the Royal Consecration Hall will stand on the side of the Ji Royal Family, Zhao Wunian is indebted to us in the past, and he won't rebel, the high-level royal consecrators are all stationed in various places in the Zhou Kingdom. Are you going to transfer them all back to Shengjing? What if there's a problem at the borders? "
Ji Xuansi looked at Ji Xuanyuan and said calmly, "Brother Wang, you seem to have forgotten about a place. The power there is completely at our disposal, and we don't have to worry about them betraying us in a short period of time."
"What place?"
"Overseas!" Ji Xuansi spat out these two words.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xuanyuan was shocked. He looked at Ji Xuansi in surprise. How on earth did he collude with the overseas martial artists?
It should be known that among the forces of the martial arts world, the ones who had the furthest relationship with the martial arts world of the Central Plains were probably the overseas.
Martial artists from the Western Regions and the Northern Borderline could often be seen in the Central Plains, but the overseas martial artists were the least. The reason was that overseas was a world of its own. There were seventy-two islands in the Outer Sea and thirty-six islands in the Inner Sea. It could be said that the overseas forces of the martial arts world lacked almost everything. They could have fun overseas, so why would they bother to come to the Central Plains to fight with the martial arts world of the Central Plains?
On the other hand, overseas had some rare resources that the Central Plains didn't have, so the imperial court and some large sects would occasionally send people overseas to search for some resources and so on.
Therefore, although overseas had connections with the martial arts world of the Central Plains over the years, it wasn't deep. Some small sects didn't even have connections and didn't understand the distribution of forces overseas.
On the contrary, there were many rogue cultivators or sect traitors in the martial arts world of the Central Plains who could not survive in the martial arts world of the Central Plains and went overseas. Instead, they established a foundation overseas. There were many such examples.
