Chapter 975: Chapter 540: Return to the Capital! The Position of Divine Envoy!
For the discussions between Wei Jinfeng and Xiang Qianqiu in Liangzhou City, Chen Yuan was completely unaware. At this moment, he had already left a great distance behind and was heading towards the Capital at an extremely fast speed.
He did not pass by Wudang Mountain; he had already bid farewell last time, and it had only been a few days since then. There was no need to meet again.
His current focus was entirely on the Capital.
Regarding his current situation, Chen Yuan was quite clear. Having achieved a world-shaking feat and with Wei Jinfeng’s memorial, there would be no errors in his ennoblement.
But other aspects were hard to say.
Why did Jingtai send three hundred thousand elite troops to Youzhou instead of Liangzhou?
This point, anyone with a bit of sense would feel something was off.
And if Chen Yuan put himself in Jingtai’s position, he could immediately sense the danger within. The Northern Barbarians were invading, and the imperial reinforcements were slow to arrive. Clearly, the Emperor wanted to use the Barbarians’ hands to weaken the Beiliang Army or even to destroy it!
Yet Chen Yuan happened to save Liangzhou at the most critical moment!
Would Jingtai blame him for this?
Moreover, before the great battle began, Jingtai had already decreed to recall him to the Capital, but he… defied the order and acted as if nothing happened.
With both charges combined, what would Jingtai’s reaction be?
Back at the Beiliang Royal Mansion, Wei Jinfeng had already warned him about this, advising him to be careful, though not overly worried.
Even if Jingtai was furious, he would never attack him openly, otherwise how would it place the Emperor before the world? What position would it place King of Beiliang?
Therefore, Chen Yuan had some expectations for the Capital, but there were also some hidden worries, as he had always thought of going to the outer town.
Returning to the Capital, especially after meeting Jingtai, he would certainly be extremely vigilant.
It was best if nothing happened, but if things reached the most dangerous point, he would not sit and wait for death. With Yang Transformation cultivation, he had the strength to protect himself.
With various thoughts and plans in mind, Chen Yuan crossed the territory of Bing State in just a few short days and entered the region of Central State.
During this time, nothing dangerous occurred.
Nor did any assassination or interception attempt occur against him.
Of course, this was both good and bad.
Good because it was peaceful, as no one wishes for enemies plotting against them daily.
Bad because Chen Yuan could not collect Qi Fortune.
Looking back at Chen Yuan’s journey from Ping’an County to now, many times the Qi Fortune he gathered was contributed by those who came to intercept him. To him, it was clearly more than just coincidence.
The two kinds of Qi Fortune might have mysterious changes, like mutual attraction, thus so many coincidental events happened.
Therefore, Chen Yuan didn’t find activities like intercepting and killing too disgusting; at times, he even looked forward to them!
With Yang Transformation cultivation, his physical body had reached the peak of Vajra Realm, and with the elder Moluo resting within the Emperor Slaughter Saber, to be honest, even if a True Monarch descended, he would not be afraid.
As long as a Sixth Realm Immortal did not strike.
Unknowingly, Chen Yuan had reached this point. It’s indeed shocking that it had only taken about two years since he traveled through on the first day of June in the seventh year of Jingtai.
In this short time, he walked out of Ping’an County, out of Nanling Prefecture, and towards the world, becoming the renowned Yang Transformation True Master he is today.
Ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List and first on the Fengyun List, he has taken two of the Ascension Three Lists. If he someday claims the top of the Supreme List, he will become one of the few rare individuals throughout history.
There are those who have reached the top of all three lists of Heaven, Earth, and Human, but they are exceedingly rare and can be counted on one hand, each being a figure of great renown.
…
…
Central State, Divine Capital City.
The ninth year of Jingtai, May 22, Chen Yuan officially returned to the Capital.
Separated for exactly three months, not a day more nor less. It was also Chen Yuan seizing the opportunity, but in these short three months, he had undergone earth-shattering changes.
From first entering the Heavenly Core Realm to reaching the early stage of Yang Transformation in the Primordial Spirit.
Don’t be deceived into thinking it’s merely the difference of one major realm, but the disparity is exceedingly vast. Heavenly Core Condensing is called a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
While Yang Transformation in Primordial Spirit is called a True Master.
This juncture has stuck many an exceptional talent.
Therefore, Yang Transformation True Masters are so rare. He even believes that all the Yang Transformation True Masters in the world together number only about a hundred or so.
They are absolutely the strong ones in Martial Arts!
The Capital still looked the same, bustling with people, and Martial Artists were numerous. Chen Yuan, concealing his presence, wandered around the Capital and discovered something quite interesting.
Though he wasn’t in the Capital, there were legends of him here.
Most were about the battle against the Liang Barbarians.
Perhaps the court intentionally weakened Wei Jinfeng’s reputation; anyway, in this great battle, he became the protagonist!
It was he who turned the tide and saved the people from dire straits.
He conducted a night raid on the Barbarians’ provisions, forcing the Northern Barbarians to abandon their gradual annexation and engage in a hasty decisive battle.
He planned everything; everything was within his grasp!
While some aspects were correct, they were undoubtedly exaggerated. Chen Yuan did act at a critical moment, but clearly, Wei Jinfeng’s contributions were greater.
With an absolutely outnumbered force, he delayed layer by layer, schemed against the Northern Barbarians’ provisions, and controlled the battlefield situation.
