"I have no comment!"
Hearing Future Lord Xi's cold words, Su Mu's expression froze as a thought flashed through her mind. She knew that there was still a deep estrangement between her and Hong Yi's faction.
However, she was ultimately an extremely shrewd person. Moreover, she had cultivated the Supreme Oblivion Art to the extreme, leaving no traces behind. After being stunned for a moment, she regained her composure and maintained her composure, as though she didn't hear those words.
'This Future King is truly capable of calculating everything. I wonder if he managed to calculate the sect leader's exact plan? The sect leader said that his plan was based on the 'Escaped One' of the Dao of Heavenly Secrets. No matter how powerful this Future King is, he would not be able to calculate it. ' Although her composure had recovered, Su Mu was now extremely wary of the Future Lord. It wasn't because of the Future Lord's strength, but rather, it was because of his terrifying calculations.
Earlier, 'Xi' had calculated the lifespan of Hong Xuanji. That wasn't something that could be done with dao techniques. Even the Creator would find it hard to do so. Looking at a person and going through meticulous calculations and analysis of all sorts of situations, he was able to deduce his lifespan and whether he was dead or alive. This was something that surpassed all imagination. At the very least, Su Mu knew that even her sect leader, the Monogatari, didn't have such strength.
'Yang Pan racked his brains to refine the Future Lord. Thankfully, he didn't sit on the throne for too long. Otherwise, with this incarnation of his, he would be able to consolidate the entire Da Qian Heavenly Province into an iron plate. Hong Yi is truly amazing. He directly took over everything from the Future Lord's hands. Right now, it could be said that Hong Yi has control over the entire 99 prefectures of the Middle-Earth. I wonder what kind of new policies he will implement next? 'Su Mu mused.
"Miss Su Mu, please don't take offense. The Future Lord Xi has his own views and opinions. He also has his own preferences towards people. Even I can only ask him, I can't order him around." Hong Yi faintly said, "As for what you just said about me and Meng Shen-Ji joining hands to kill Xu Yi and bury 300 million descendants of his Xu Clan, I can only agree to half of it. I can deal with Xu Yi, but exterminating 300 million people is really an inhumane action, not something that a humane person would do."
"Oh?" Su Mu carelessly stroked a strand of his hair as a bizarre light flickered in his eyes. "I never imagined that you, Hong Yi, would have such benevolent thoughts. But if I don't do this, I'm afraid that we won't be able to resist the entire Central World. You must know that the Central World has a population of ten billion, and there are countless experts amongst them. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and my Great Thousand World is no match for them. If they all descend into the Great Thousand World, I'm afraid that the citizens of my Great Thousand World will be slaughtered and plundered. Do you think that you can resist an entire world by yourself, Hong Yi?"
"Also, although you announced the Dragontooth Rice, that is the food of the Ancient Sky Dragon. Only people with lightning ponds can grow it. Even the few aristocratic families can't grow it themselves. It hasn't been spread out and the people of the world haven't benefited from it." Su Mu's words were sharp and he spoke with conviction.
"That might not be the case. Once the future master is formed, naturally, Dragontooth Rice will be announced to the world! Five days later, when the Jade Emperor ascends the throne, I will turn the Great Thousand World into a true Celestial World. All the people won't have to worry about freezing to death or starving to death. " Hong Yi looked at Su Mu and surprisingly didn't say anything. He just said to Future Master Xi, "Xi, how is the refining of the new Jade Emperor Rice?"
"It is at the final stage and it has just been refined."
Future Master Xi said. He then reached out with his hand, which was 10 acres large. He tore the space and instantly, an endless world appeared. Su Mu's eyes also saw this world. When she saw it clearly, she was stunned! Her expression changed right away.
In that vast and endless world, there were many paddy fields. The paddy fields were filled with five-colored soil and on the five-colored soil grew crops that were half a person tall. They looked like wheat and were different from the Dragontooth Rice but they grew really quickly. In a breath, they would bloom and in a breath, they would bear fruit and then mature.
After each grain of rice matured, it would be harvested by an invisible wind that formed a sickle. It would then be swept into the sky and piled up into golden mountains.
Su Mu looked at the matured rice. Although each grain wasn't like the Dragontooth Rice which was three feet long, each one was the size of a pinky. It was round and wrapped in gold with patterns on the outside. The talisman shells were formed naturally.
"This is a seed that I refined based on the Dragontooth Rice. It is called Jade Emperor Rice and naturally forms a formation that gathers lightning energy. As long as it is thrown into the ground, it will grow roots and germinate. Although it isn't as magical as the Dragontooth Rice, it doesn't need any lightning pools to grow it. Even normal civilians can grow it. One acre can produce thousands of kilograms and it can even grow in the desert. "
Hong Yi casually grabbed a 'Jade Emperor Rice' seed in his hand. With a light pinch, a round, pearl-like rice fell into his hand. This pearl-like rice seemed to have starlight shining within like it was filled with mercury.
"Nong? This rice is magical, it can actually form a lightning gathering formation. "Su Mu looked at the seed," Are you going to announce it to the world? But it is useless. Those aristocratic families and rich people will definitely hoard the seeds and won't let normal people benefit from it. "
"It is useless, this seed can only be planted for one season." Hong Yi said, "After one season, the seed is useless. Even if those aristocratic families get the seeds and plant them, it is useless. After Prince Yu ascends to the throne, he will work with the Book of Changes College to build companies in the various states, provinces, prefectures, and counties to sell these seeds to the commoners. The future master, Xi, will constantly mobilize the power of the Temple of Saints to produce seeds for the world. "
"This method …" Su Mu listened to Hong Yi's words and looked at the pearl-like Jade Emperor Rice in Hong Yi's hand, "Your Book of Changes College controls the seeds of the world. This is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the world. At the same time, the commoners can buy the seeds anytime and anywhere. They are not afraid of the aristocratic families' monopoly at all. The power of the aristocratic families has been greatly weakened. And they have no way at all. They even want to buy the seeds of this Jade Emperor Rice from you … "
"During the coronation ceremony, Prince Yu announced new policies. The first is to build a company to cooperate with the government to distribute Jade Emperor Rice to the commoners. As long as this rice is planted and the world ripens after one season, no one in the Da Qian Heavenly Province will freeze to death or starve to death. Do you think the Jade Emperor's position can be stabilized with such good fortune and merit? Even if Qian Emperor Yang Pan returns, his righteous title will be useless. " Hong Yi waved his hand, "I know. Miss Su Mu, you control many forces of the Taishang Path. This time, you can help with the merit of planting Jade Emperor Rice in the world."
"Of course. This time, the Sect Master has given me full authority to handle all matters in the secular world. Moreover, the people of the Taishang Path in the secular world are to completely support the imperial court." Su Mu bowed slightly, looking somewhat ladylike. However, deep in her heart, she once again revealed an aura of indifference and indifference towards all things.
"This Imperial Seal is still lacking the last array formation. Since the Taishang Path has left the Two Scriptures of the Universe to me, I'll make a contribution to the world." Hong Yi ignored Su Mu and grabbed the Two Scriptures of the Universe with one hand.
Bang! The two scriptures exploded, forming a pagoda and a huge bell that floated in the void. The pagoda spun and the bell chimed. Incomparably huge power of space and time gathered on the floating Imperial Seal.
This Imperial Seal gathered the Mountain and Sea Pearl, all of Hong Xuanji's mystiques, energy, and Yuan Qi, as well as the Two Scriptures of the Universe of the Taishang Path. Under the refinement of Hong Yi's future master, it was finally completed.
It was a huge seal that was half a foot wide and five inches tall. It had a sky-blue color and two ancestral dragons coiled around it. There were even a thousand dragons swimming within it. It seemed to have gathered all of the Primordial Celestial Dragon Race. Just the powerful aura alone was enough to intimidate the Creator.
"Alright, let's cultivate! When the coronation ceremony arrives, there might be a tough battle. What does an Undying God King look like? What mystiques do they have? I do want to see for myself. " Hong Yi's body turned hazy. Carrying the refined Imperial Seal, he disappeared into the depths of space and time.
Su Mu frowned deeply. After leaving the Sacred Hall, no one knew what the Saintess of the Taishang Path was thinking.
…
Five days passed quickly. At the same time, it was the new year. The 65th year of the Da Qian had finally arrived.
On this day, the entire Yujing City was decorated with lanterns and streamers. At the same time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were all busy. Not only that, but the officials sent by the various governors also lined up neatly in the square in front of the Imperial City.
Today was the day that Prince Yu officially ascended to the throne.
In the past few days, after Prince Yu talked to some of his brothers, whether it was the Crown Prince Yang Yuan, Prince He, a few dukes, or many other princes, they all submitted petitions, saying that the country could not be without a ruler for a day. They all wanted Prince Yu to ascend to the throne as soon as possible. At the same time, the governors all submitted petitions, and the ministers of the six ministries also submitted petitions. Prince Yu's ascension to the throne was catalyzed by the general trend. When the conditions were right, it would happen naturally. There were no obstructions at all.
On the day of the 65th year of the Da Qian, the weather was very good. The fiery sun shone high in the sky, giving off a warm feeling. It was the time of the new year.
On the square in front of the Great Qian Gang Hall, the ceremonial music continued to resound. Countless beautiful musical notes almost condensed into substance, rising into the sky, condensing circles of colors on the sun. It seemed that even the sun in the sky was dancing with the music, singing and dancing to celebrate peace.
There were also many people standing in the square. There were civil and military officials, heads of various aristocratic families, as well as the kings of the Western Regions, Huoluo, Yuantu, Divine Wind, and the hundred overseas countries.
These kings were going to formally swear their loyalty to Prince Yu during his ascension ceremony, merging into the Da Qian territory, so that Prince Yu's ascension would be more legitimate, and his name would be passed down through the ages. This was also necessary for the sake of his reputation. All eyes were on him!
At this moment, it could be said that all eyes in the world were focused on this place. They were waiting for the number one person in the world to change hands, for Prince Yu to ascend to the throne. At the same time, many people were waiting for the imperial jade seal that Hong Yi had forged for Prince Yu.
The news of Qian Emperor Yang Pan escaping and taking the Imperial Heavenly Jade Seal with him had also spread. This caused Prince Yu's ascension ceremony to be somewhat illegitimate. However, at this moment, many people were waiting to see how Hong Yi would rectify this matter. If this matter was not handled well, it would leave a stain on his reputation in the future.
"Brother Yuntao, do you think that Yi Zi will obtain the real Imperial Heavenly Jade Seal this time? Or perhaps he will reforge it himself? However, the reforged imperial jade seal will not be as prestigious as the Imperial Heavenly Jade Seal. I wonder if he will become a laughing stock this time? "
At this moment, a group of big shots of aristocratic families and the clan heads of the Sage Clans were standing in the east of the square. Among them, a tall and slender man with a jade crown on his head spoke to Fan Yuntao, the head of the Fan Clan. He had a strong scholarly aura, but the core of his aura was like a whirlpool in the deep sea.
"Brother Changtian, you're worrying too much. Hong Yi's considerations are thorough and thorough. Everything he does is justified. This time around, there will definitely not be any slip-ups. There's no need for us to laugh at him." Fan Yuntao glanced at this person. "But this time around, the Crown Prince actually gave way and was the first to support Prince Yu's ascension. This shows the magnanimity of the Ji Clan."
So, the person who was speaking to Fan Yuntao was actually the head of the Ji Clan, Ji Changtian.
The Empress of Qian Emperor Yang Pan was the eldest daughter of the Ji Clan. She was also Empress Ji. Back then, when they wanted to deal with Consort Yuan, they had exchanged blows with Hong Yi. Now that the Crown Prince was forcefully pushed down by Prince Yu, this was naturally disadvantageous to the Ji Clan.
"Hong Yi might not be justified. I heard that after Prince Yu ascends to the throne today, he will issue a decree to execute the traitors. Everyone in Marquis Wu Wen's residence will be beheaded. Hong Yi forced his father to kill his brother. This doesn't seem to be a good path …" At this moment, a young man behind Ji Changtian spoke coldly.
"Eh? This young man … "Fan Yuntao's gaze turned cold. Originally, when he was speaking to Ji Changtian, the disciples of the Ji Clan were not allowed to speak. Just as he was about to reprimand this young man, he noticed that there was a mysterious light flickering in this young man's eyes. This caused his heart to tremble, and he was actually unable to speak!
"The Ji Clan actually has such an outstanding disciple? Impossible! "
Fan Yuntao was about to flare up when Ji Changtian spoke, "Ji Mie, don't be rude to the head of the Fan Clan!"
"Hmph!" Fan Yuntao snorted coldly. All of a sudden, an earth-shattering roar came from afar, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Prince Yu had finally arrived. From afar, he could see the imperial canopy and the yellow umbrella.
"What's going on?"
Just as Prince Yu appeared on the public square, he was escorted by a huge entourage. He strode towards the Qian Gang Great Hall with a majestic gait. Suddenly, a strange change occurred. The sky, which was originally bright and sunny, was suddenly filled with dark clouds. Between the heavens and the earth, it actually became dark!
This was not a good sign!
