Yi Tian had inadvertently obtained the Astrology Wheel from Asura's Hierarch Mu Lang, but he felt that this was just the beginning of the trouble. After activating the Astrology Wheel, he had unexpectedly contacted a wisp of the former Empress Luo Yilan's soul.
She had also warned him to properly assist the current Empress and help her regain power. However, when Yi Tian mentioned the former Empress in the Imperial Army's Logistics Department, Luo Ziyan's face became dejected. From her, he learned that the former Empress was Luo Ziyan's birth mother, and that she had long since exhausted her lifespan and died.
As for Luo Yilan, she was an ancestor from dozens of generations ago. This Mahayana cultivator was currently cultivating in seclusion, and even the three Unity cultivators did not know where she was hiding.
Normally, he could only contact her through the Dark Moon Well in the Asura Temple, and each time he contacted her, it would only be a short while, and the Dark Moon Well would not reply this time.
Yi Tian maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter. He did not have the opportunity to enter the Asura Temple, let alone search for the Dark Moon Well.
After talking with Luo Ziyan, he finally agreed that she would lend him the 'Asura Destiny Chart'. However, this would have to wait until after the Imperial Army's selection. At this stage, he had to fully cooperate with her to insert the various candidates into the Imperial Army.
After that, Yi Tian had no choice but to take out the 10,000 talismans he had prepared and give them to Luo Ziyan. Counting it, he had used the identity of Viscount Hongshan to complete a hundred years of work. As for Luo Ziyan, she temporarily let him go after taking the talismans.
After leaving the Imperial Army's Logistics Department, Yi Tian also received a notice that due to his outstanding performance, Viscount Hongshan was specially promoted to an Intermediate Talisman Master in the Logistics Department. This was also the result of Yi Tian's repeated requests to forcefully suppress the credit. With the strength of a Yuanying cultivator, occupying the position of an Intermediate Talisman Master in the Imperial Army was already the highest possible.
Moreover, he did not want to get into unnecessary trouble because of this. Now, Yi Tian could always feel that there were many people deliberately following him. They must have been sent by the major forces to keep an eye on him. Since the attack on Viscount Hongshan, he had gradually entered the field of vision of the aristocratic circle. As long as they had a little experience, they would try to find out the truth.
Yi Tian left the Imperial Army Logistics Department and was about to board the carriage to leave when he suddenly saw a familiar figure flash by from the corner of his eyes. At the same time, he heard a voice transmission, "Follow me to the logistics warehouse for a chat."
The person who spoke was Qiao Yongjun. His coincidental passing by seemed a little pretentious. Needless to say, he must have been waiting for him, but he didn't know if he knew the true identity of the person he was meeting this time. After thinking for a while, Yi Tian pursed his lips and replied with a voice transmission, "Wait a moment." He turned around and instructed the coachman to let them wait at the side for a while. After that, he got off the carriage and hurriedly followed.
The two of them arrived at a remote warehouse one after another. Qiao Yongjun raised his hand and opened the restriction barrier, sealing the space. Then, he turned around and asked, "I didn't expect Brother Yi to be so resourceful to be able to convince Her Majesty to betroth Princess Qingcheng to me."
"I think Commander Qiao seems to be a little too optimistic," Yi Tian replied calmly. "As far as I know, although Her Majesty has given her approval, the key is still how you're able to display matching strength."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Yongjun frowned and said, "Could it be that there's a problem?"
"With Commander Qiao's strength, it's understandable, but you also know where your shortcomings are, right?" Yi Tian smiled and said.
"You're talking about my background, right?" Qiao Yongjun said with an unfriendly expression.
"That's right. As everyone knows, background in the Asura World gives one a great advantage. This is what Commander Qiao lacks." Yi Tian analyzed. "Now, even if Luo Ziyan wants to matchmake you two, Luo Qingcheng is willing to marry someone of a lower status. We still have to shut the mouths of the aristocrats up and down."
Qiao Yongjun's expression darkened when he heard that. He sighed and said, "That's true. The Asura Dynasty still places great importance on aristocratic status. Even though I've cultivated successfully as a commoner, it's still difficult for me to integrate into the aristocratic circle. "
"Coincidentally, Luo Ziyan also has the same thoughts. These aristocrats are too powerful and can even influence the entire Dynasty's operations. To put it bluntly, even if Prince Wei has great power, he's only limited to mobilizing the Royal Guards and other direct organizations. However, he's still powerless to influence the Dynasty's direction, "Yi Tian replied.
"Since Brother Yi has promised to do this, and Her Majesty has taken great care of me, she must have thought of a countermeasure, right?" Qiao Yongjun smiled, a crafty gleam flashing in his eyes.
"Of course. There's no need to hide anything from you now. In any case, you'll find out very soon," Yi Tian said.
"Find out what?" Qiao Yongjun asked.
"Naturally, it's to give you a proper name and a new aristocratic status. I reckon you'll be summoned by Luo Ziyan very soon. Everything will be clear then," Yi Tian said with a smile.
Qiao Yongjun smiled knowingly and said, "Looks like Brother Yi must have put in a lot of good words for me in front of the Empress. However, there's one thing I've been wondering about, and I have to get it off my chest now. "
"Please speak, Commander Qiao. As long as it's convenient for me to answer, I'll definitely tell you everything I know," Yi Tian said with a slight frown. However, he was secretly on his guard. It seemed like Qiao Yongjun wanted to test him. However, it was no wonder that he would do the same if he were in Qiao Yongjun's shoes.
Qiao Yongjun asked with a solemn expression, "Judging from Brother Yi's tone, you can call the Empress by her real name. I think you two must be very close. Forgive me for being bold, but I'd like to know what your relationship is.
As expected, he couldn't avoid this question. Previously, he had already promised Qiao Yongjun that he would matchmake Qiao Yongjun for him, and this time, he had revealed that the Empress could find a way to bestow him with an aristocratic status and introduce him into the core circle of power. To put it bluntly, only people of Yun Lin's status would be able to do these things.
Furthermore, the influence he had displayed during this period of time had indeed shocked Qiao Yongjun. If he were in Qiao Yongjun's shoes, he would also have to consider whether he should accept this gift or not.
After thinking about it, he smiled faintly and said, "Commander Qiao, you're wrong. Our cooperation is based on mutual trust. There are some things that you won't benefit from knowing too much."
"Brother Yi's words have surprised me. In the current situation, no one wants to be played in the hands of others. We're no more than ants in front of those Body Integration cultivators. However, even ants have their own ways of survival. If Brother Yi can reveal accurate information, perhaps the foundation of our cooperation will become even more solid. Don't you think so?" Qiao Yongjun asked.
Yi Tian helplessly waved his hand and took out a palm-sized wheel. He examined it and said, "I can only tell you that I'm the person who controls the Astrology Wheel and the Asura Destiny Chart. You should know now."
