At this time, Ji Haodian's expression was very good. Originally, Ji Haodian's face always had a trace of illness, but now, his face was flushed with excitement. Perhaps it was because of the white jade slab that gave him the hope of immortality. This also made Ji Haodian's heart almost recover.
Looking at the people below, Ji Haodian smiled and said, "My dear ministers, you should all know why I've gathered all of you here this time. The secret on the white jade slab has already been deciphered by the formation grandmasters of the Zhou Kingdom and a few masters of Buddhism. This will also strengthen the strength of the Zhou Kingdom."
Hearing Ji Haodian's words, everyone secretly disapproved of it.
The Zhou Kingdom had studied the secret on the white jade slab. They were all the true rulers of the Zhou Kingdom, so they naturally knew the secret.
Therefore, they were not very interested in this method of living a long life.
Moreover, living a long life did not mean that they would not die. In the past, the corpses in the Ninefold Sword Pavilion could live forever because no one could kill them. In that desolate place, there was indeed nothing to fight over. Therefore, they had lived for nearly 10,000 years.
But now, if any of them used this method to reach the realm of immortality, not to mention whether they were willing to give up the great power that they had cultivated for their entire lives, if their enemies knew that they had turned from experts to trash with only their primordial spirits, they would definitely think of ways to kill them.
Unless they found a place where no one was around and stayed there for the rest of their lives, even if they could live for tens of millions of years, they might be killed in the next moment.
However, if that was really the case, they might as well just commit suicide. Living in a place where there was no daylight was truly worse than death.
Therefore, this method of immortality was very useless to them. It was only useful to Ji Haodian.
He was the Human Sovereign of the Zhou Kingdom, so he was naturally surrounded by many strong cultivators. Therefore, he was naturally not afraid of revenge from his opponents.
Moreover, his current appearance was not much better than when he had transformed into a pure primordial spirit. A sickly person, or even an ordinary person, could kill Ji Haodian.
Looking at the people below, Ji Haodian turned to look at Su Xin and said with a smile, "Everyone in the Jianghu says that you, Su Xin, love to cause trouble. Now it seems that it is indeed true. It has only been a short time, and your ranking on the Terrestrial List has increased by one. Those who don't know would think that the imperial court is biased towards our own people."
Ji Haodian now had a very good impression of Su Xin. Without Su Xin, he would not have been able to obtain the eight white jade slabs. without the eight white jade slabs, he would not have been able to obtain the method of immortality. Therefore, to Ji Haodian, Su Xin was the greatest contributor in this matter.
Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian, who were below, shook their heads. They also felt a little hopeless.
Ji Haodian would not have such an attitude towards them. He would only speak with a Yang Spirit Realm cultivator in such an equal manner. Although Su Xin was in the Harmony Realm, Ji Haodian's attitude towards him was no different from that of a Yang Spirit Realm warrior.
Su Xin also cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you must be joking. It's just one rank up. It's not worth mentioning."
Su Xin was not being modest when he said this. Whether it was to him or to the other warriors in the Jianghu, Su Xin's ranking on the Terrestrial List was really not worth mentioning.
After all, in the past, Su Xin's ranking on the Terrestrial List had increased by several digits. Moreover, his achievements were also amazing. Now that he had only increased by one rank, it really did not bring much surprise to the people in the Jianghu.
Moreover, in this matter, everyone's attention was focused on why Su Xin was helping the Heroes' Club.
It should be known that Su Xin and the Heroes' Club's style of doing things were polar opposites. It could be said that it was good that the two of them did not fight when they met.
However, now, when the other three factions of the Seven Gangs had betrayed them, Su Xin stood on the side of the Heroes' Club and even reprimanded the other three factions with a face full of righteousness. This world was really full of strange things.
Everyone even suspected that Su Xin had been possessed by the Virgin Mary at that time. Otherwise, how could he have done such an incredible thing?
After encouraging Su Xin with a few words, Ji Haodian looked at the crowd and said, "Originally, I thought that I could not use the secret method on the white jade slate. Fortunately, this time, Minister Nan has invited his Senior Brothers. They are confident that they can make my Primordial Spirit cultivation soar to the level where I can practice this secret method. However, I need some things, so I need your help."
As he spoke, Ji Haodian clapped his hands. Several warriors with not so strong auras walked out from behind.
The person in the lead was wearing a black Confucian robe. He was thin and had a wretched face. His cultivation was only in the Divine Transformation Realm.
He was Nan Heng, the Formation Master who gave advice to Ji Haodian. Usually, among the many worshippers of the Zhou Kingdom, he was the least valued one.
Although there were not many Formation Masters in the Divine Transformation Realm in the Zhou Kingdom, there were at least dozens of them. Nan Heng was the most inconspicuous among them.
Others did not know his background, but the Six Fan School definitely knew.
Nan Heng was originally an abandoned disciple of Tianji Valley. When he was young, he had fallen in love with the daughter of an elder of Tianji Valley. However, his talent in Formation Tao and Martial Arts was not good, and the elder did not like him. Therefore, he married his daughter to another young talent.
Therefore, Nan Heng was so angry that he set up a killing formation and a poison formation around the wedding room on the day of their wedding. However, because his cultivation in Formation Tao was limited, the formation was discovered as soon as it was activated. It was stopped in time. Although the two people did not die, they were crippled for the rest of their lives.
After that, Tianji Valley went all out to kill Nan Heng. In the end, he was forced to hide his identity and escape the disaster. Later, he joined the imperial court and had been hiding until now.
To be honest, Su Xin did not think much of this person. He was a typical incompetent villain.
When he failed to pursue, he wanted to kill. This was the typical behavior of a villain.
If he had endured until he became strong enough to seize power and usurp the position of the ruler of Tianji Valley, then he would have taken revenge. That would have been the method of an ambitious person.
However, in the end, he could not wait to make a move. As a result, not only did he not kill the person, but he also got himself into trouble. This kind of person was not good at accomplishing anything. He was lucky that Tianji Valley did not kill him back then.
Now that Nan Heng showed his face in front of Ji Haodian, he could be considered a moderately popular person. However, he immediately acted like a villain, which made everyone feel very disgusted.
The people behind Nan Heng were all dressed in black. Their faces were cold and gloomy, and their bodies were emitting a strange aura.
The strongest of these people were at the Divine Transformation Realm, while the weakest were at the Divine Transformation Realm. Tie Zhan had already told Su Xin about their origins.
These people were all from the eight heterodox schools. However, they were all abandoned disciples of the eight heterodox schools, known as the Zuo Dao Alliance.
The Zuo Dao Alliance had the most people from Tianji Valley, Mohist Sect, and Medicine King Valley. This was because these three sects had the weakest combat power among the eight heterodox schools. If there were traitors in other sects, they could probably kill them on the spot. However, it was very difficult for these three sects.
For example, Nan Heng was only at the Innate Realm when he betrayed Tianji Valley. Even so, he was still able to escape from Tianji Valley. One could imagine how weak the defense of Tianji Valley was.
Moreover, the disciples of these three sects liked to study some strange taboo things the most. Once they were discovered by their sects, they would be immediately killed. Therefore, the abandoned disciples of these three sects were ready to defect at any time.
For example, Tianji Valley liked to study some demonic and evil formations, as well as some ancient taboo secrets. There had been cases where the evil disciples of Mohist Sect abandoned mercy and even used living people to refine machinery.
Medicine King Valley was originally a place to refine healing and life-saving pills. However, some people were refining poisons to kill people here. Of course, Medicine King Valley would not tolerate it.
After these people escaped from their sects, they spontaneously gathered together to form the Zuo Dao Alliance. There was no leader. It was just a group of like-minded abandoned disciples from their sects to protect themselves.
Of course, this was also related to the direction of their research. Mohist Sect, Tianji Valley, and Medicine King Valley actually had something in common in some areas. Therefore, among the eight heterodox schools, these three sects had the best relationship. Usually, they would communicate with each other and work together to research something.
Now, the abandoned disciples of these sects were the same. Because their research direction had something in common, they united to communicate with each other.
However, Nan Heng was not a member of the Zuo Dao Alliance.
When he was chased by Tianji Valley and had nowhere to go, he wanted to join the Zuo Dao Alliance. However, the people of the Zuo Dao Alliance despised him for being too weak. Moreover, his character was indeed problematic. Even the abandoned disciples of these sects looked down on him. Therefore, the people of the Zuo Dao Alliance rejected him.
However, Nan Heng had a Senior Brother who was a member of the Zuo Dao Alliance. Therefore, he shamelessly inquired about the details of the Zuo Dao Alliance.
Therefore, when he heard that Ji Haodian needed a rapid method to strengthen his mental strength and transform it into a spirit, Nan Heng immediately thought of the Zuo Dao Alliance.
As a middleman, he helped Ji Haodian pull the Zuo Dao Alliance to his side. This time, he had made a great contribution. He could now raise his head in front of the warriors of the Zuo Dao Alliance. Now, they would no longer look at him as if he was ashamed to be associated with him.
After all, the people of the Zuo Dao Alliance were abandoned disciples of their sects. Even if they had the strength, it would be difficult for them to obtain some precious materials.
However, the imperial court did not lack these materials. Therefore, under Nan Heng's bewitchment, the people of the Zuo Dao Alliance were willing to use their research results to help Ji Haodian improve his mental strength. The imperial court paid them a large amount of materials, which was enough for them to use for a long time.
