It was Yi Tian's personal ride. At this moment, he was sitting in the cabin while Si Ling, the little girl, drove the boat and flew straight into the distance. Although this little girl obviously had no experience in piloting a flying boat, under Yi Tian's guidance, she was able to grasp the key points very quickly.
At this moment, Yi Tian was chatting with Luo Jinzhong along the way. From Luo Jinzhong's words, Yi Tian had a basic understanding of the current situation in the Asura Realm. Although the entire imperial court was nominally ruled by the Empress, in reality, the Empress didn't care about anything. The power in her hands was directly controlled by the two princes.
As for Luo Jinzhong, he was only a small commander in the imperial guards. However, his surname made it very convenient for him. Although he was only a distant relative of the imperial family, he could still see the Asura Dharma Body that the imperial family cultivated.
However, he came into contact with this cultivation method relatively late. He was only allowed to cultivate it after entering the Yuanying stage. Thus, when his cultivation reached the Deity Transformation stage, he was only able to refine the cultivation method to a small success stage. The Dharma Body behind his back was condensed, but it hadn't reached the stage of materialization yet.
However, to Yi Tian's surprise, this Dharma Body was able to display a set of cultivation methods. Compared to when he first cultivated the Dharma Body, this Dharma Body was much stronger.
However, Yi Tian understood that when he obtained this cultivation method, he learned that the earlier he cultivated it, the higher the success rate of condensing the Dharma Body. It was likely that the Asura Imperial Family deliberately limited the cultivation method to maintain the absolute advantage of the imperial family.
In his heart, he was extremely disgusted by this method. However, when he thought about it, perhaps it was the imperial family's arrangement.
In addition, Luo Jinzhong also mentioned that every ten years, the imperial family would hold a selection for the young children. Those who were selected would be fortunate enough to enter the imperial guards to cultivate. For example, Xiang Rong had walked this path. However, he didn't have enough merit points. Otherwise, he would've been able to cultivate the Asura Transformation Technique.
However, he learned from Luo Jinzhong that if he wanted to use merit points to exchange for a cultivation method, he would have to accumulate cultivation to the Deity Transformation stage. Yi Tian understood that even if he obtained a cultivation method, it would be of little use. However, this was the only way for ordinary cultivators of the Asura Realm to advance.
Most of the cultivation resources were controlled by the imperial family. Only cultivators who had cultivated the Asura Transformation Technique had the opportunity to participate in the imperial court's examination. After passing the examination, they would be able to govern a region and obtain more cultivation resources.
Hence, most of the people who were in control of the Asura Empire's court were still from the original royal family. Even the two regent princes were cultivators with the royal bloodline. It was said that they were two or three generations older than Luo Ziyan.
It was precisely because of the existence of this circle of royalist forces that the entire Asura Realm was like an iron bucket. Even if their population was only one-tenth of the Spirit Realm's, their overall strength was still at the top of the Nine Realms.
However, in the past five thousand years, a new power had emerged in the Asura World. The Asura Sect was entrenched at the edge of this world. Although they didn't have any Body Integration cultivators, they did have a dozen or so Severed Soul cultivators. Most of them were cultivators from the lower realms who had mistakenly entered the Asura Realm. However, the founder was a true member of the Asura Imperial Family.
It was said that he had left in a fit of rage because he didn't agree with the Princes on certain matters. However, to their surprise, the Asura Dynasty actually acknowledged the existence of this force, and they didn't send any troops to encircle and annihilate them at all.
Furthermore, the previous Asura Empress even publicly acknowledged the legitimacy of the Asura Sect's existence.
As a result, the people below could no longer raise any objections to this matter. Over time, the marginalized Asura Sect gradually grew stronger after thousands of years of development. However, in the eyes of the two Princes, they were nothing more than clowns. Without a Body Integration cultivator, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
Any one of them could easily lead an army to raze the Asura Sect to the ground. If it weren't for the previous Asura Empress' face, they would've already done so.
However, the current location of the Asura Sect had become the only paradise in this realm. Regardless of race, cultivators could find a place to live there. Over time, it became a paradise in the Asura Realm.
However, all high-grade cultivators knew that the current peace was only maintained while the Sect Master was still alive. Once he passed away, the two Princes would definitely seize the opportunity to make things difficult for him. When that time came, a great purge would be unavoidable.
Fortunately, the Asura Sect had already foreseen the possibility of such a situation occurring. A thousand years ago, the Asura Transformation technique was circulated. The idea of having a group of cultivators who had just entered the Yuanying Stage cultivate at such an early age was to surpass the Imperial Family in nurturing newcomers.
In other words, the original Asura Dynasty's model was no longer suitable for the current era. However, due to the two Princes controlling the Imperial Family, the newcomers were unable to make a name for themselves. As such, the Sect Master of the Asura Sect wanted to find a way to break the old rules.
From this, it could be seen that the previous Asura Empress had her reasons for not paying any attention to this matter. He was also observing this Grand Ascension Stage cultivator to see if the Sect Master of the Asura Sect could inject new vitality into the stagnant pool that was the Imperial Family.
After thinking things through, Yi Tian began to carefully plan his next move. To put it bluntly, he hadn't planned to come to the Asura Realm in the first place. He had only come here by accident. Currently, the best plan for him was to head to the Demon Realm through the two-way realm gate of the Asura Realm.
However, when he looked at Si Ling and Luo Jinzhong, he found them to be rather interesting. Instead of being the commander of the imperial guards, he chose to protect a Nascent Soul Stage female cultivator all the way here. This was an inexplicable problem.
After sizing him up, he transmitted his voice, "Since you're so interested in Si Ling, it means that she means something to you. What do you plan to do next? "
Luo Jinzhong's eyes were also filled with confusion. After a moment, he said with a serious expression, "I'm just a martial artist. The imperial guards' duty is to serve Her Majesty. In order to carry out Her Majesty's orders, I can disregard life and death. Since I've received Her Majesty's secret order, I'll definitely do my best. As for the specifics, Si Ling will be the one to handle them. I don't know anything about that. My mission is to escort Young Miss Si Ling to the Asura Sect in the Fantasy Realm. "
This was the first time Yi Tian had heard of a Deity Transformation Stage cultivator taking orders from a Yuanying Stage cultivator. If this was the Spirit Realm, a little girl like Si Ling would've been killed countless times over for daring to act like this in front of a high-grade cultivator.
In the end, Luo Jinzhong avoided Si Ling's gaze and transmitted his voice behind her back, "She's the Empress' maidservant, so she's naturally dissatisfied with you calling Her Majesty by her full name."
