Yi Tian didn't correct Mei Baiji's words. Instead, it was as if he had tacitly agreed. This made Mei Baiji feel much more at ease. He then probingly asked, "This imprint was given to me by Luo Ziyan. Why are you so certain that I can become the new Asura Emperor?"
Mei Baiji smiled. "In truth, the Asura imperial family isn't based on bloodline. It's based on who among the Asura clansmen can refine a cultivation technique to the peak and create a unique avatar. Furthermore, the original Empress bestowed this imprint. I believe that your avatar will definitely be different, which is why Her Majesty gave it to you. "
Yi Tian didn't expect his guess to be so accurate. He revealed an awkward smile. After concealing it, he asked, "Even if that's the case, aren't you curious about what my avatar looks like? At the very least, you should want to see it."
"That is indeed the case. In truth, this subject is extremely curious as to why Her Majesty would give away her imprint. However, this isn't a good time. Furthermore, since I can see your imprint, there's no need to confirm it again, "replied Mei Baiji respectfully.
"Alright. Since that's the case, I'll definitely contact you again when I go to the imperial city. However, your status as Xun Wang's study companion is a bit sensitive. How much do you know about the current situation in the Asura Dynasty? Are you also caught up in the power struggle? "Yi Tian's eyes flashed with a trace of purple light as he stared at Mei Baiji.
"My Empress is wise. Although I've known Xun Wang's heir for a long time, I won't forget my ancestor's teachings and dying wishes. I will always place the imperial court above all else and follow Her Majesty's orders," explained Mei Baiji.
"Then how come I've heard that the two princes of the Asura Dynasty are using their power to the point that most of the officials are only protecting themselves? Quite a few people are becoming their lackeys," said Yi Tian.
Sighing, Mei Baiji helplessly shook his head. "That's not the case. The current situation is divided into three factions. Prince Wei and Xun Wang have formed their own factions. Prince Wei is the previous Empress's personal regent, so he has the moral high ground. "
"When can the Regent step down?" Yi Tian asked after thinking for a while.
"Once Her Majesty reaches the Body Integration stage, Prince Wei will have to return to the imperial court. However, with his current status and identity, I'm afraid that this won't go very smoothly," Mei Baiji analyzed.
"Hmph, his idea is naturally to delay for as long as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent people to intercept Luo Ziyan's envoy," Yi Tian said disdainfully.
"Could it be that the Emperor is aware of this?" Mei Baiji asked.
Yi Tian then recounted his encounter with Luo Xiaozhi in the depths of the Fantasy Zone. When Mei Baiji heard this, he didn't reveal any trace of anger on his face. It seemed like he disdained Prince Wei's actions.
Shaoqing waited for Yi Tian to finish before he continued, "Now that Supremacy Yun has gathered so many capable officials in the imperial court, he can already suppress Prince Wei's forces. However, with Xun Wang guarding the realm gate, his forces have naturally become a hot steamed bun that both sides are fighting to rope in. "
"I reckon that Xun Wang is leaning towards Prince Wei's side. That way, he can maintain a certain level of stability in the Asura Dynasty. Everything will depend on Luo Ziyan's luck to determine the direction of the dynasty," Yi Tian said with a sigh.
"That is indeed the case," Mei Baiji said bluntly. "Actually, I also agree with Xun Wang's strategy. If it were me, I would do the same to maintain a balanced situation."
"Why is that? Is it a good thing to not let Luo Ziyan take over the imperial court?" Yi Tian asked. In his opinion, this matter was a little strange. If Luo Ziyan could participate in the imperial court as soon as possible, it would definitely be very beneficial for her future power.
Mei Baiji waved his hand lightly and replied, "That's not true. Asura Dynasty is currently plagued by internal and external troubles. It really can't afford to change too much. Furthermore, after the previous empress went into seclusion, she entrusted the imperial court to Prince Wei and ordered Xun Wang to guard the realm gate. Supremacy Yun is responsible for nurturing the current empress. These three people each have their own duties in the imperial court. It is precisely because of Xun Wang that the dynasty has been able to live peacefully for over a thousand years. "
"However, this iron triangle will be broken sooner or later. When Luo Ziyan reaches the Soul Formation stage in the future, she will naturally be able to take back her authority," Yi Tian said.
"Actually, Her Majesty may not necessarily be needed to break this iron triangle." Mei Baiji smiled and said, "As long as Her Majesty can reach the Body Integration stage first, she will naturally be able to suppress Prince Wei. At the same time, she will also have Xun Wang submit to her. As for Supremacy Yun, he will be your greatest support."
"That being said, I am only a passerby. My true identity is that of a cultivator from the Spirit Realm, and I also have the mission of my sect to fulfill. It is impossible for me to take care of both sides," Yi Tian said evasively.
"There is no need to belittle yourself, Your Majesty. From what I know, there are many great Supremacies in the Upper Spirit Realm who have dual identities just like you." Mei Baiji smiled knowingly and said, "In truth, there are great benefits to having dual identities. Sometimes, you can borrow troops from other realms to deal with some troublesome matters. Once Her Majesty reaches the Body Integration stage, you will most likely be one of the most outstanding people in the Spirit Realm. At that time, with the support of the Asura Imperial Family, even the Grand Ascension Stage cultivators in the sect will have a whole new level of respect for you. "
He didn't think that Mei Baiji, who was only a Soul Formation cultivator, would be able to say such things. It seemed that his horizons were far beyond that of ordinary people.
Now that he had some matters to take care of, he thought for a moment and said, "I have something I want to give to Luo Ziyan."
"If it's a small matter, Your Majesty can instruct me. This humble subject will be willing to die ten thousand times to fulfill it," Mei Baiji replied with a joyful expression.
"I want to refine a heaven-grade spirit treasure. When I succeed, I'll need you to deliver it to Luo Ziyan for me," Yi Tian explained. In truth, after obtaining the Rainbow Illusion Crystal from Prince Xun, he had already made up his mind.
From his past experience, the most suitable spirit treasure for Luo Ziyan was the lower realm's Clear Heavenly Mirror. However, this was a spirit treasure unique to the Li Fire Palace. Even if he had the spirit treasure, he wouldn't be able to openly refine it. Once it appeared in the mortal realm, it would naturally attract the attention of the Spirit Realm.
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided that all he needed to do was to modify the pattern in the spirit treasure to make it suitable for Asura cultivators. That way, it wouldn't be difficult to refine it into a spirit treasure similar to the Clear Heavenly Mirror.
After informing Mei Baiji, he learned that Mei Baiji and Prince Xun would be staying in Di Luo City for another twenty years. This was already the limit. If he could finish the spirit treasure during this time, he would be able to make it in time. Otherwise, he would have to personally deliver it to the imperial city.
Yi Tian felt that this was the most troublesome matter. Once he went to the imperial city as the Asura Sect's envoy, there would definitely be a lot of trouble. At that time, it would be impossible for him to meet Luo Ziyan alone.
