Since Yi Tian dared to say this to Qiao Yongjun, he had some confidence. He had heard Luo Ziyan complain about the internal troubles of the Asura Imperial Family.
It wasn't that the Asura Imperial Family didn't support her, but ever since the Asura Imperial Family was established, the entire Asura Imperial Family was like a blood maggot that constantly sucked away the nutrients of the Imperial Family.
The ancestors of the Asura Imperial Family were still able to forge ahead. At the very least, the cultivation of the Asura Imperial Family was maintained at the Deity Transformation Stage to the Severed Soul Stage. Furthermore, 20,000 years ago, the Asura Imperial Family had more Body Integration Stage cultivators than the rest of the Nine Upper Spirit Realms combined.
As a result, the Asura Imperial Family was the number one clan. Whether it was Grand Ascension Stage or Body Integration Stage cultivators, they were all second to none.
However, after tens of thousands of years, the descendants of the Asura Dynasty's nobles had become unmotivated. Their overall cultivation levels had plummeted to the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage. To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for the existence of the top cultivators, the Asura Imperial Family wouldn't have been able to enjoy the same treatment.
Since Prince Wei had been in charge of the latter half of the imperial court, he had adopted a policy of seclusion. As time passed, the Asura nobles could only live near the imperial capital.
In the more remote areas, the cultivators guarding them weren't strong enough. The large strongholds didn't have Body Integration Stage cultivators guarding them, so they were guarded by many Severed Soul Stage cultivators.
The direct reason for the decline of the Asura Imperial Family was that they weren't willing to accept commoner cultivators or those outstanding foreign races.
Luo Ziyan wanted to reverse the decline of the Imperial Family, and she even tried to ask if there were any good ideas. Yi Tian also saw this, but he didn't think about it before. Now that he saw Luo Qingcheng's true appearance and Qiao Yongjun's strength, he couldn't help but think of a plan.
If the Asura Imperial Family directly intermarried with foreign races, there would be a lot of trouble. It was better to start by taking in the elites among the Asura Imperial Family's commoners and gradually lower the wariness of the Asura Imperial Family.
In the Floating Immortal House's Heaven Room, Yi Tian heard Qiao Yongjun's question and smiled faintly. "Vice Commander is indeed a straightforward person. Such a good thing is naturally accompanied by the corresponding conditions. As long as you're loyal to Luo Ziyan, that's all. "
"Being loyal to the imperial family and Her Majesty the Empress is my duty as a subject. Fellow Daoist Yi, what do you mean?" Qiao Yongjun said with disdain.
"I'm loyal to Luo Ziyan, not the Imperial Family. Fellow Daoist Qiao's reply just now placed the imperial family before the empress. Can I take it that you're more loyal to Prince Wei than the empress? " Yi Tian teased, "I didn't expect that even though Commander Qiao is a martial man, his ability to bite words is not inferior to those civil officials."
Qiao Yongjun had an awkward expression on his face, as if Yi Tian had poked his sore spot. He paused for a moment before replying, "Prince Wei has treated me well. If you want me to rebel against him, it's a bit unreasonable."
"That's not true. Prince Wei is wholeheartedly working for the Asura Dynasty. That's why Luo Ziyan tolerated him time and time again. Otherwise, why do you think Prince Wei was able to control the court for so many years? The former Empress Luo Yilan would have abolished him long ago, "Yi Tian explained earnestly.
When Qiao Yongjun heard this, he was left speechless. His eyes dimmed as he said, "Even if what Fellow Daoist Yi said is true, I still can't betray the main family. If you want to persuade me, please stop. I'd rather pretend that I didn't come here today. Let's pretend that we don't know each other and go our separate ways. "
Yi Tian chuckled and shook his head. "After listening to your words, I think Commander Qiao is a loyal person, and your loyalty is unquestionable. However, I never said that I want you to fall into disloyalty. I just pointed out who you need to be loyal to. "
"Prince Kewei and Her Majesty's differences are growing with each passing day. If one day they break off their relationship, what should we do?" Qiao Yongjun asked, changing the topic.
"You're only half right. Of course, the differences between the two sides are getting bigger and bigger. On one side is Prince Wei, who has been in control of the imperial court for more than 3,000 years. On the other side is the current empress, Luo Ziyan, who wants to take back her imperial power." Yi Tian curled his lips and said, "Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Prince Wei is just dragging out his last breath and stalling for time. It's imperative for him to hand over his power. He just lacks an opportunity."
"If Her Majesty fails to advance to the Body Integration Stage, then Prince Wei still has the right to supervise the nation," Qiao Yongjun said, as if he was trying to find an excuse for himself.
"Commander Qiao, are you still trying to deceive yourself? You've seen how powerful Luo Ziyan is. With Yun Lin's guidance, it's only a matter of time before she reaches the Body Integration Stage. I estimate that she'll be able to reach the Severed Soul Late Stage in about 100 years. After that, she'll spend another 200 to 300 years consolidating her cultivation base. If she's fast, she'll be able to reach the Body Integration Stage in 300 to 500 years, "Yi Tian said.
At this moment, Qiao Yongjun's face twitched as if he agreed with his own analysis. However, he still couldn't let it go. He didn't know if it was because he was grateful to Prince Wei or because he wasn't confident in Luo Ziyan's ability to reach the Body Integration Stage.
Seeing this, Yi Tian analyzed again, "Commander Qiao, don't you think that this is an excellent opportunity? How can adding icing on the cake compare to providing timely assistance? "
"But didn't Sovereign Yun help Her Majesty a lot? Commander Luo Yao is also one of their people," Qiao Yongjun said.
"Commander Qiao, didn't you say that it belongs to them and not the empress? Do you still need me to explain the difference?" Yi Tian said indifferently.
Qiao Yongjun's eyes flashed. He also understood the meaning of the painting. A person recommended by Yun Lin and a person controlled by the empress were naturally two different things. After thinking about it, Qiao Yongjun said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time. In order to show your sincerity, you have to recommend me to Her Majesty. I can only make the final decision after receiving the empress's instructions."
"Of course." Yi Tian handed over the jade slip recommendation letter that he had already prepared and said, "I've already set up layers of restrictions on this jade slip. Only Luo Ziyan can open it. If it falls into the hands of others, it will be destroyed. Take this jade slip and find the commander of the internal court guards, Luo Jinzhong. He'll make the arrangements for you. "
After receiving it, Qiao Yongjun sized up Yi Tian again. Then, he said in a deep voice, "I hope the suggestion you gave me and the empress's promise are genuine. Otherwise, you know what I'll do. Not only will I publicize your situation, but I'll also do my best to deal with you. "
"Don't worry, Fellow Qiao. You must know that the most important thing in a deal like this is' trust '. If we can't even reach a basic level of trust, how can you make the empress trust you?" Yi Tian said indifferently.
