At the mention of Li Yi, the entire court began to whisper to each other. “In that case, the Dao Ancestor might really be an immortal god?”
“That should be the case. Otherwise, how can we explain Li Yi’s inheritance? He can indeed control lightning.”
“That’s right. Li Yi’s strength far exceeds his realm. It’s unimaginable.”
“If Fengtian is protected by an immortal god, regardless of whether it is true or false, the hearts of the people will definitely be on His Majesty’s side. It will be greatly beneficial to the development of Fengtian.”
“Your Majesty is wise.”
Listening to the discussion of the officials, Li Ya’s smile deepened. The emergence of the Great God of Salvation had made the officials’ resistance to the Dao Ancestor disappear. Those who opposed it were afraid that the Dao Ancestor was really an immortal god.
There might be gods above their heads listening. If they slandered the Dao
Ancestor and he found out…
Just the thought of it made them afraid.
After some discussion, Li Ya appointed Li Yi as the Lightning God of Fengtian and issued a public decree to the people.
Not only the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty, but the other dynasties were also shocked by the Great God of Salvation.
They were the Seven Great Demon Saints, but they were killed by an immortal god without leaving a single corpse!
The forces of the demons in the seas were indeed dissipating, and the dynasties had no choice but to believe it.
On the other side.
Venerable Bai listened to his subordinates’ report on the cliff. Other than the information about the Great God of Salvation, the masked man also mentioned Emperor Wu Ren.
After Emperor Wu Ren was resurrected, he wandered around the world. As he was too powerful, he rampaged around, causing quite a commotion.
“The Martial Emperor that we resurrected is now looking for Emperor Wu Ren.
Resurrected Martial Emperors really cannot be regarded as Martial Emperors. They are already a new kind. Once they form a group, it will definitely be a huge blow to the human race,” the masked man said in a deep voice.
The mention of that existence made him furious.
Venerable Bai’s expression became complicated as he asked, “Was I really wrong?”
The masked man braced himself and said, “Martial Emperor Island sacrificed so many martial artists, but it was all for nothing. My Lord, don’t walk the path of Martial Emperor Island again. It’s not worth it. You can do more for the human race. Other than relying on ancient Martial Emperors, the human race must have other methods!”
Venerable Bai sighed.
The masked man added, “Fortunately, resurrected Martial Emperors are infertile. Our people have investigated that existence. He tried to find a human woman to reproduce, but he failed. This is also the reason why he is eager to find Emperor Wu Ren. Since they are infertile and are not protecting humans, why should we pursue them?”
Venerable Bai said, “It seems like the heavens are fair. They gave them an extremely powerful body, but they also cut off the possibility of them forming a race.”
He shook his head and asked, “In the future, I will no longer pursue the power of the ancient Martial Emperors. I will start searching for Great Jing.”
The masked man was stunned and asked in surprise, “Why Great Jing?”
Right now, everyone in the world was discussing the Great God of Salvation.
After the disappearance of Martial Emperor Island, no one paid attention to Great Jing other than them. It was as if there was no Great Jing among the human race.
“How can there be so many immortal gods in this world? If there are, why didn’t they save the human race in the past? I think the Great God of Salvation is related to the Dao Ancestor.”
Venerable Bai said meaningfully, “Perhaps the reason why the Dao Ancestor is not ascending to the throne is because he feels that he is not strong enough. Therefore, he is lying low. However, he could not bear to see the human race suffer and could only conceal his identity and take action.”
The masked man’s pupils dilated and he was suddenly enlightened. He suppressed his excitement and said, “Indeed, I was puzzled previously. How could there not be a single human who is talented enough to become a Martial Emperor? If it’s the Dao Ancestor, then it would explain why. Every time the Dao Ancestor makes a move, no matter how strong the enemy is, they will not be his opponent. Also, there are many legends about him that are similar to immortals. He indeed has the talent to become a Martial Emperor.”
“Yes, investigate Great Jing’s tracks with all your might. Tell me immediately after you find him. You can put everything else aside.”
After Venerable Bai said that, he closed his eyes and continued to train.
The masked man breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, it was fine as long as the Lord abandoned the plan to resurrect Martial Emperors.
The departure of the Head of Punishment caused a lot of discussion in the imperial court. In the imperial court, the officials were more afraid of the Head of Punishment than they were of Jiang Che. Jiang Che was a wise ruler, but the Head of Punishment was cruel and specialized in helping the Emperor do underground matters.
The discussion continued for several months before the Head of Punishment was gradually forgotten.
It was another year of spring.
Year 51 of the Taihe Era.
In the imperial study, Jiang Che looked up at the spring scenery outside the window. He was already 106 years old, breaking the record for the oldest emperors of Great Jing of all times. Even though he was already so old, he still looked to be in his fifties or sixties.
His longevity had also made the people of Great Jing more optimistic about the future of Great Jing. If a wise ruler could live a long life, Great Jing could continue to soar.
It had been 38 years since they arrived in the Great Wilderness, and the citizens had become accustomed to the existence of ferocious beasts. They were accustomed to a stronger culture of martial arts. By now, Great Jing had officially stabilized.
Jiang Che was suddenly confused.
The land was unified, there were no powerful enemies outside, the dynasty was prosperous and the people were safe. No matter how hard he worked, it was impossible for him to have higher achievements. As for advancing to become a Sacred Dynasty, as the Emperor, he knew the foundation of Great Jing best. He did not see any hope of becoming a Sacred Dynasty soon. It was impossible for Great Jing to become a Sacred Dynasty in his lifetime.
Jiang Che suddenly wanted to rest.
In any case, the dynasty would not be in chaos. After working hard for his entire life, he should relax.
When he thought of the Head of Punishment, Jiang Che’s heart burned with passion.
If he could live forever, he could work hard to pursue the goal of becoming a Sacred Dynasty.
If he could live forever!
This thought quickly took root in Jiang Che’s heart and was unstoppable.
A figure quickly entered the imperial study. It was the God of Thieves. He was now a Golden Body realm martial artist and was not far from the Universe realm. His talent was not bad and he sat in a high position. In such a position, he had obtained countless resources, and his realm would naturally continue to increase.
“Your Majesty, those alchemists have arrived. When do you want to meet them?”
The God of Thieves asked respectfully.
Jiang Che stood up and said, “Then let’s go and take a look.”
The God of Thieves wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to ask Jiang Che why he did not look for the Dao Ancestor, but on second thought, the Dao Ancestor’s status was transcendent and it was impossible for him to wholeheartedly help Jiang Che refine pills.
Furthermore, what Jiang Che pursued was not a medicinal pill that could increase one’s strength, but the Immortality Pill!
Time flew by.
Five years had passed.
Jiang Changsheng’s clone returned again. There were now 145 pages in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The deeper one went into the Great Wilderness, the more ferocious beasts there were. Even the number of lucky ferocious beasts had increased.
After he sent another clone to leave with the two treasures, he looked at Yang Zhou who was tempering his body in the courtyard.
Mu Lingluo returned to the Mu Family at the beginning of the year. Ye Xun and the Sword God had yet to return, and it was even more so for Jiang Jian and the other two. Jiang Jian and Ye Xun had already reached the Two Grotto-heaven realm, while Ping’an had successfully broken through to the One Grotto-heaven realm.
Bai Qi and the two cat demons also began to prepare to break through to the Universe realm. Everyone was improving.
The territory of Great Jing was also expanding steadily. Interestingly, the current Emperor had started to ignore the state affairs. Because of this, that licentious crown prince had no choice but to take control of the state affairs. From a dandy in the capital in the past, he had become very busy every day. He had no choice. The prime ministers were chasing after him, and he did not wish for Great Jing to collapse. He could only grit his teeth and get busy.
This matter was widely spread among the people.
Most people thought that Jiang Qing would become a fatuous ruler, but they did not expect that after the emperor left him alone, the crown prince would suddenly become competent.
Jiang Changsheng could not criticize Jiang Che’s actions. After all, he was incapable of concocting a Longevity Pill. Even if he were to tell Jiang Che, he would not give up. After all, from his point of view, the only thing he could pursue now was longevity.
Other than that, Jiang Changsheng enjoyed his current life. It was also pretty good to practice alchemy and look at the vast world.
Seeing him open his eyes, Ji Wujun immediately went to his side and whispered, “Dao Ancestor, something has been wrong with the capital recently.
Have you noticed?”
Jiang Changsheng casually said, “Yes, it won’t affect me much.”
Ji Wujun couldn’t help but be curious and asked, “You’ve found out? What’s going on?”
In the past year, she had felt the fluctuation of luck in the capital for several nights, but it recovered as soon as daybreak. The fluctuation was not huge, but it had appeared several times, so she could not help but worry.
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it. As long as it doesn’t hurt the people, you don’t have to worry. Moreover, this is the Emperor’s wish.”
Jiang Changsheng’s words were casual, but it made Ji Wujun even more curious.
Involving the Emperor?
Bai Qi raised his head and said, “No wonder I vaguely heard wailing sounds when I went to the capital several nights ago. Moreover, it came from the palace. So it was the Emperor who was behind this. Don’t tell me he was possessed by a demon for the sake of immortality?”
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes again and said, “As long as he doesn’t harm the dynasty, let him be.”
Even if he stopped him, what was the use? Should he force Jiang Che to give up his pursuit of longevity and be at ease?
If he did that, it would only have the opposite effect, unless he wanted to cripple Jiang Che’s position as the Emperor. However, that would be unfair to Jiang Che.
Ji Wujun lamented, “Immortality is what everyone yearns for. However, even someone as powerful as a Martial Emperor will die of old age one day. It’s just that his body won’t be destroyed.”
Bai Qi said, “Isn’t it more practical to train well and increase your lifespan?”
Ji Wujun said, “Even though the lifespan of an emperor of a Sovereign Dynasty is longer than that of an emperor of a Luck Dynasty, there are still restrictions. It is impossible for their lifespan to be comparable to someone in the Qiankun
Realm; their lifespan might not even be comparable to someone in the Golden Body realm. Even if they were to concede the throne, this luck would still follow them. This is the luck of emperors. Even if they become the emperor of a Sacred Dynasty, they will be trapped by the end of their lifespan. Other than the Martial Emperor who founded a Sacred Dynasty, the emperor of the Sacred Dynasty can only live for at most 500 years.”
Bai Qi grinned and said, “This is only fair. The heavens are just.”
Ji Wujun did not refute. Everything had its rules.
On the other side.
In the Emperor’s bedroom.
Jiang Che, who was in his undergarments, was lying in the pool, enjoying the nourishment of medicinal ingredients. His head was leaning against a woman’s leg.
This woman was Jiang Che’s newly-appointed concubine two years ago. Her name was Concubine Yu, and she had a graceful figure and seductive makeup. She was currently massaging Jiang Che’s head.
“Your Majesty, are the pills of the Little Penglai Sect ineffective?”
Concubine Yu asked in a gentle tone.
Jiang Che closed his eyes and said, “No, they are all good-for-nothings.”
Concubine Yu rolled her eyes and said, “Your Majesty, why don’t we send someone to hunt the Dragon Blood Mountain Tortoise? The Dragon Blood Mountain Tortoise is one of the ferocious beasts that has the longest lifespan in the Great Wilderness. If its blood is refined into a pill, it will definitely increase your lifespan and allow you to live for a thousand or ten thousand years so that you can have more time to pursue immortality..”
