No one had expected Ji Haodian to suddenly announce that he was going to establish the position of crown prince.
The reason for this was very complicated. It was related to the face of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, one's dirty linen should not be aired in public. Although Ji Yanheng's matter was known by almost everyone, it still could not be spoken of publicly.
Therefore, Ji Yanheng was still the crown prince, but in reality, everyone knew that he was almost deposed. That was why the other princes dared to compete for the throne so openly.
Now that Ji Haodian had publicly revealed the position of Crown Prince, it was clear that he didn't want to hide it anymore. This also made the other princes extremely excited. At the very least, they could boldly fight for the position of Crown Prince in the future.
However, the only one present who did not look good was Ji Yanheng. The ashen look on his face was even more intense, and there was even a hint of despair.
Originally, Ji Yanheng could barely rely on the position of crown prince to cover up his shame. Now, the last piece of cloth had been torn off.
Ji Haodian continued, "Therefore, this time, I have decided to open the Kunlun Secret Land in a month. The inheritance token of the Zhou Kingdom, the Human Emperor Sword, is inside. Whoever can find the Human Emperor Sword will be qualified to inherit the position of crown prince.
"At the same time, when the Kunlun Secret Land opens, all warriors below the Harmonious God Realm can enter. The people of the Jianghu can also enter, but they must be guaranteed by the princes. Moreover, each person can only bring a maximum of ten warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm.
The Kunlun Secret Land has not been opened for more than ten years. This time, it is my gift to you. What kind of opportunities you can obtain will depend on you. "
The many courtiers and nobles of the Zhou Kingdom immediately looked happy. They quickly said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After only saying these two sentences, Ji Haodian seemed to be a little tired. After saying that the court was dismissed, he asked Tang Xian and the others to escort him back to the palace.
After leaving the palace, Liu Fengwu and the other two scattered. Obviously, this matter had a great impact on them. They probably had to discuss it with the people behind them.
Su Xin found an opportunity to ask Tie Zhan, "Lord Tie, what's going on with this Kunlun Mystery Realm?"
Tie Zhan explained, "The so-called Kunlun Secret Realm is actually similar to our Six Fan School's Martial Tomb. It is also a separate space. However, the Kunlun Secret Realm is much bigger. It is even as big as several prefectures."
"Was this Kunlun Mystery Land also left behind by the Great Jin?" Su Xin asked.
It was not that he looked down on the Zhou Kingdom, but the Zhou Kingdom really had no foundation to speak of. Everything that the Zhou Kingdom had now could be said to have been snatched from the Great Jin.
Tie Zhan shook his head and said, "This Kunlun Mystic Realm really wasn't established by the Great Jin. It existed a few generations before the Great Jin.
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the Kunlun Mystic Realm was more than ten times that of the outside world. Furthermore, through the nurturing of generations of dynasties, there were many precious spirit herbs planted in the Kunlun Mystic Realm. They even purposely caught some rare beasts and threw them in, allowing them to reproduce on their own.
"The Kunlun Mystic Realm is the same as the Martial Tomb. Every time it is opened, it will consume a large amount of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the Kunlun Mystic Realm.
"Therefore, ever since our Zhou Kingdom obtained the Kunlun Mystic Realm, it has only been opened once after we established the Central Plains and Shengjing City was officially established.
"All the meritorious subjects of the Zhou Kingdom are qualified to enter for three days. Whatever you find will be your reward. For the next ten years, the Kunlun Mystic Realm has never been opened. I believe there will be many good things in there."
Su Xin nodded in understanding. No wonder the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom were so excited. It turned out that this was also considered a benefit for them.
However, this time, Ji Haodian should really want to establish a crown prince.
He knew that almost all the princes of the Zhou Kingdom had the background of various major factions in the Jianghu. Therefore, this was why the Kunlun Mystic Realm allowed the major factions in the Jianghu to enter.
"That's right, Lord Tie. Wasn't the legendary Human Sovereign Sword lost? Why is it in the Kunlun Mystic Realm? "
The so-called Human Sovereign Sword was said to be the sword of the Human Sovereign. It was said to be a divine weapon that surpassed Heavenly Weapons.
However, this thing had already disappeared 10,000 years ago when that dynasty was destroyed.
Tie Zhan explained, "It's just an imitation. This so-called Human Emperor's Sword is just an imitation that His Majesty had a few master swordsmiths forge when Shengjing was being built. It's not even a Heavenly Weapon. It's just an Earth-level weapon. It's used to make himself look better."
After explaining these things to Su Xin, Tie Zhan left for Six Fan School to start making arrangements.
Although warriors in the Harmonious Divine Realm could not enter the Kunlun Mystic Realm, warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm could.
There were many warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm who belonged to the Tie family in Six Fan School. Apart from some warriors who had to stick to their posts, the others could come to the Kunlun Mystic Realm to try their luck.
Just as Su Xin was about to return to Six Fan School in Shengjing City, a young eunuch suddenly ran out of the palace and handed Su Xin a piece of paper. After reading it, Su Xin's face showed a hint of shock. He then revealed a playful smile.
Seeing that there was no one around, Su Xin used his inner force to shatter the piece of paper in his hand.
After returning to Six Fan School in Shengjing City, Su Xin had to make arrangements.
When the Kunlun Mystic Realm opened in a month, the forces behind the princes would definitely send people to Shengjing City.
When that time came, Shengjing City would gather. Apart from people from the major sects, there would also be some rogue cultivators who had never set foot in Shengjing City. They would probably come to see the Kunlun Mystic Realm.
Even if they did not have the chance to enter the Kunlun Mystic Realm, it would be good for them to join in the fun.
When that time came, all kinds of people in Shengjing City would come. If Su Xin did not make arrangements, it would probably be a mess.
However, these people from the Jianghu came faster than Su Xin expected. When the Kunlun Mystic Realm opened, these people from the Jianghu did not know what was going on in the Kunlun Mystic Realm. Therefore, the earlier they came to the Zhou Kingdom, the earlier they could make some preparations.
Seven days later, people arrived. However, the first one to arrive was a little unexpected. It was actually people from the Shaolin Temple.
At the eastern gate of Shengjing City, the news that Shaolin Temple was coming had already spread throughout the entire city.
Many warriors from Shengjing City went to the gate to watch. Su Xin also went with them in case something big happened.
At the crowded gate, a group of warriors looked around. They wanted to see which prince Shaolin Temple was supporting in Shengjing City and how much power they would send.
Naturally, Su Xin would not squeeze at the gate with them. He was on the top floor of a restaurant far away, drinking and watching. Tang Jiu sat across from him.
Su Xin took a sip of wine and asked, "Brother Tang, why do you think Shaolin Temple is participating in the fight for the crown prince of the Zhou Kingdom?"
Tang Jiu did not drink. According to him, he had not touched a single drop of alcohol since he started practicing martial arts. When Su Xin asked him why, Tang Jiu did not answer him.
In fact, for warriors who had reached the Divine Transformation Realm, alcohol no longer had any anesthetic effect on them. Drinking was actually similar to drinking water.
However, Tang Jiu was unwilling to say, so Su Xin did not ask.
Now that Tang Jiu heard what Su Xin said, he just smiled and said, "Monks are also human. Shaolin Temple also needs benefits."
The corner of Su Xin's mouth also revealed a hint of a smile. Tang Jiu's two sentences were very incisive. Monks were also human and needed to eat.
Buddhism was a paradise, but Shaolin Temple was a martial arts sect. It also needed benefits.
Back when Shaolin Temple was completely suppressed by Good Fortune Gate, it was "Kasyapa" Xuan Tan who made a move to turn the tide.
Unfortunately, there was a stupid teammate who was holding them back. Xuan Tan resigned as the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and the layman disciples were expelled from Shaolin Temple. Although Shaolin Temple was better than before, its overall strength was still not as good as Good Fortune Gate.
When Shaolin Temple was at its peak, it could even suppress the four major Taoist sects, let alone Good Fortune Gate.
Therefore, Shaolin Temple must find a way to increase its strength. The battle for the crown prince of the Zhou Kingdom was a good opportunity.
As long as the person supported by Shaolin Temple became the crown prince, then with the power of the Zhou Kingdom, the strength of Shaolin Temple would definitely skyrocket.
In a certain dynasty thousands of years ago, Buddhism was even regarded as the state religion. Shaolin Temple also became the true supreme martial arts sect. It was the leader of the world, almost completely wiping out the Taoist sects.
That was the most glorious era of Shaolin Temple. Now, Shaolin Temple was able to survive for thousands of years because of the foundation laid at that time.
Of course, the hatred between Buddhism and Taoist sects was also formed at that time.
Therefore, Shaolin Temple was planning to use the power of the imperial court to help Shaolin Temple return to its peak.
After a while, more than 30 monks walked into Shengjing City. Everyone present immediately sighed. This time, Shaolin Temple had really put in a lot of effort.
One Harmonious God Stage martial artist came, seven Transformed God Stage martial artists came, and the rest were all Divinity Stage experts of the younger generation of Shaolin Temple.
Su Xin was quite far away, but with his perception, he could still clearly hear the voices of those people at the city gate.
"Unexpectedly, the president of the Prajna Hall of Shaolin Temple, 'Prajna the Reverend' Xuan Tong, is leading the team. This time, Shaolin Temple has really put in a lot of effort."
"It's not just Xuan Tong. Among the seven Transformed God Stage martial artists, three halls, four courtyards, and one pavilion of Shaolin Temple, except for the Sutra Library and the Sarira Yard, have all sent their people personally.
In particular, there's an ascetic monk from the Sutra Lecture Hall. I heard that he has cultivated the Lion's Roar for 20 years and also cultivated the Silent Meditation for 20 years. Once he opens his mouth, it's really impressive. "
Su Xin did not care about these Shaolin Temple powerhouses, but he saw a familiar face. It was Jue Yan, the Evil Slayer Monk who had chased after him in the past!
That was the first time Su Xin fought with a Transformed God Stage martial artist. It also made him feel the huge difference between the two realms of the Innate Primordial Spirit Stage.
At that time, Su Xin was only at the peak of Spirit Aperture Stage. He had used all his means and even used consumables to escape from Jue Yan. That incident left a deep impression on Su Xin.
Now that Jue Yan had come to his territory, it was only natural for Su Xin to 'entertain' Jue Yan.
At that thought, the corner of Su Xin's mouth curled into a cold smile.
