The mere remnants of Daoist essence are enough to create a Celestial-level expert.
This gives a glimpse into Ximen Yu's true cultivation level.
What concerned him even more was—
This means that thirty years have passed.
What level of attainment must that forbidden being reach?
Even as the ruler of the Great Qin,
Ying Zheng still felt a chill run down his spine.
He took two deep breaths to calm himself down.
Without turning his head, he issued the decree:
"Zhang Han, send men to Xiaoshengxianzhuang immediately!"
The emperor's eyes were sharp and discerning.
He never forgot the reward that Heaven had bestowed upon Xunzi.
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Zhang Han clasped his hands and retreated quickly.
The empty hall returned to silence.
Ying Zheng lightly tapped the armrest of the dragon throne.
He kept chewing on that title:
"The Azure Dragon Society..."
At this moment, on the shore of Sanghai,
The Xiaoshengxianzhuang was completely silent.
Fu Nian and Yan Lu stood motionless beside Xunzi.
They stood frozen in place, like clay sculptures.
The truth revealed by the Heavenly Path Golden List
This completely shattered their pride.
Even with the profound cultivation of Confucianism,
Even at this moment, one's Dao heart cannot help but tremble.
The old belief that my martial uncle could be compared to the forbidden one...
How ridiculous it seems in the face of Heaven's certification.
"How did the Qin Dynasty learn of this?!"
Yang Guang glared angrily and questioned him sharply.
Chapter 28 Planning
A cold glint flashed in his eyes; he already understood—
This was because the Qin Emperor had discovered his secret plot and used it as an opportunity to vent his anger.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die! I beg for your mercy!"
Without hesitation, the visitor prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed, not daring to utter a single word in defense.
His voice trembled with fear, terrified that the emperor's wrath would cause blood to spill on the spot.
You all deserve to die!
"Not only did I fail to get the 'Tao Te Ching,' but I also exposed my identity!"
"You were sent to seize the Fire Spirit Mushroom, but you returned empty-handed just like before!"
"I spend countless amounts of gold and silver resources every year, only to produce a bunch of useless trash like you?!"
Yang Guang was furious, his chest heaving violently, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Chapter 057 - Empress Wu Zetian is furious, and Zhu Wushi can no longer contain himself! (Please customize)
Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City.
"Could it be that he has already reached that supreme realm?"
Wu Zetian frowned, muttering to herself in disbelief.
If it weren't for the legendary Realm of Shattered Void, she simply couldn't imagine it—
What kind of method could possibly possess such earth-shattering power?
You must know that he is a powerful expert in the late stage of the Celestial Realm!
Definitely not an ordinary person!
Looking across the entire land, I have never heard of any Daoist essence that can help people break through to the level of a terrestrial immortal or even a peerless realm!
Ximen Yu's actions are simply appalling!
That is why, despite his infrequent public appearances, his legend has spread throughout Kyushu.
"But this person has not responded to me yet. What is his intention?"
"Could it be... that you look down on me?!"
The thought that sending envoys to negotiate had gone unanswered only fueled Wu Zetian's anger.
She snorted coldly, which not only failed to dispel her thoughts but also strengthened her resolve.
Clearly, they won't stop until they achieve their goal!
The Great Yuan Dynasty, the Imperial City.
"No wonder they are so unscrupulous; they had something to rely on all along."
Temujin's gaze was deep as he recalled the various actions of the Azure Dragon Society, and he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
Temujin felt a wave of fear wash over him.
Fortunately, I heeded the advice of the Imperial Advisor and did not rashly attack the Azure Dragon Society.
otherwise--
The forces under Ximen Yu alone were enough to cause heavy losses to the Yuan Dynasty.
Now that things have come to this, he has no doubt about Ximen Yu's abilities.
The top combat power of the Azure Dragon Society is probably even more terrifying than he imagined.
Thinking of this, Temujin couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas, it's all for Ying Zheng's benefit."
"If I could cooperate with the Azure Dragon Society, wouldn't it be easy to obtain the Longevity Pill in Xunzi's possession?"
His words revealed a hint of resentment.
He knew very well that with Ying Zheng's methods, Xunzi's longevity elixir would most likely not escape his grasp.
Compared to a carefree person like the Old Immortal of Nanhua, Xunzi carried far too many burdens.
Therefore, even if he wanted to take the Longevity Pill alone, he had to think twice before doing so.
However, the old immortal of Nanhua made him feel uneasy.
This person had no ties to the Han Dynasty and felt no sense of belonging to it.
What can we offer to make him hand over the Longevity Pill?
However, even if the hope is slim, he cannot give up.
As long as there is a sliver of possibility, neither he nor any other emperor would easily give up!
"Is this the strength of the Azure Dragon Society's Grand Dragon Leader?"
"Truly unfathomable!"
Zhu Houzhao muttered to himself, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
While I was deeply moved, I also felt a pang of regret.
If the Ming Dynasty had such a powerful figure in charge, even if it was just his subordinates, they would at least be able to compete with the Qin, Yuan, and Tang dynasties.
Unfortunately, it’s all I can think about right now.
Just as he was feeling sentimental, Wei Jinzhong hurriedly stepped into the hall, his expression solemn.
"What happened?"
Noticing his unusual behavior, Zhu Houzhao quickly asked, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
"Your Majesty, this old minister has just received a secret report that Zhu Wushi... seems to be unable to restrain himself any longer."
Wei Jinzhong frowned and said in a deep voice, "It seems he can't hold back any longer."
He paused slightly, his eyes filled with even more worry.
Although the Ming Dynasty possessed hidden strength, those reclusive powerhouses would never interfere in the internal strife of the royal family unless the fate of the nation was at stake.
In this situation, Zhu Wushi does indeed have a slight advantage.
"Outrageous! How dare he do this?!"
Zhu Houzhao's expression changed drastically, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
But when he thought about his own strength, his heart sank again.
"Your Majesty, do not worry."
Wei Jinzhong's gaze was resolute. "If Zhu Wushi truly dares to rebel, this old minister will stop him with his life!"
"My dear minister..."
Zhu Houzhao's throat moved slightly, but he was speechless.
Inside the Song Dynasty imperial palace, Emperor Huizong gazed at the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination and marveled at it.
"The Qin Emperor was truly lucky."
"Ancestor, do you believe that person has reached the highest realm? Do you have a method to recruit them?"
The Sunflower Ancestor pondered, "In this old servant's opinion, his cultivation level has already reached a transcendent state. To subdue the Azure Dragon Society Master is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"However, if we can offer substantial benefits, an alliance might be formed."
In his view, it was almost impossible to subdue Ximen Yu and the Green Dragon Society.
However, there are quite a few opportunities for cooperation.
The reason why the Azure Dragon Society has maintained a detached stance is that all parties are watching and waiting, and no one has offered sufficiently attractive conditions.
He believed that the Azure Dragon Society couldn't possibly remain unmoved if the benefits were large enough!
Zhao Ji nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Study of the Qing Dynasty.
Kangxi's feelings were completely different.
He was both shocked by the terrifying strength of Ximen Yu, the leader of the Azure Dragon Society, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Despite the existence of such a powerful being in Kyushu, they had no means to recruit him and could only watch helplessly.
What frustrated him even more was that although the Qing Dynasty was known as one of the eight great dynasties, only the Qin, Yuan and Tang dynasties could truly be called hegemons.
The once mighty Han and Sui dynasties are now preoccupied with their own survival and could be destroyed at any moment.
While the Ming, Song, and Qing dynasties had some historical foundations, they were insignificant compared to the first three.
If it weren't for the checks and balances among the various forces, these three kingdoms would probably have become history long ago.
The current state of the Han and Sui dynasties provides clues to this.
Kangxi understood that with the exposure of the Heavenly Path Golden List and the undercurrents of various parties, war was not far off.
