Chapter 903: Chapter 47: Cultivating the Top-level Dharma Body, Zhao Xing’s Second Phase Plan! (Da Zhang, Please Vote for Monthly Ticket) (3)
"I actually don’t understand either." Ji Anning shrugged, "The intelligence personnel in the academy evaluated it as: this Magic Theory, in ancient times, could found a sect."
"Even now, it can have a major impact on the Marquis Transformation Sect Minister of Agriculture, benefiting everyone."
"Hiss~" King Heavenly Destiny drew in a sharp breath.
When Ji Anning said this, he understood.
This damn thing is practically the Saint Heir of the Marquis Transformation Sect!
If Ling Tianchen does nothing, he’s going to be questioned by the Patriarch in the Yin Realm, asking: Why the hell didn’t you rescue anyone? Why didn’t you save them, huh?
Describing it like that might be a bit exaggerated, but King Heavenly Destiny thought it was about right.
You don’t even have to gamble with the life and death of a sect, it’s just a rescue mission. If Ling Tianchen cannot make this decision, he wouldn’t qualify as a leader of the Marquis Transformation Sect.
"Cousin, don’t be too surprised." Ji Tianning flipped another page, "Do you know what Kunyuan Academy did?"
"You rascal, stop keeping us in suspense, just tell us!"
"Kunyuan Academy’s Meng Kun arrived at Youyou County in Lvliang State around the Yin hour..."
"What, how is that possible?!" King Heavenly Destiny interrupted, "From Dao Yuan Continent’s Kunyuan Academy to Youyou County in Lvliang State, it’s at least two million lis; how could Meng Kun arrive by the Yin hour? Did he create a new Ancient Earth Tunnel?"
"Cousin, you’re brilliant, you guessed it right away." Ji Anning smiled, "During the Dingxin Calendar years, the ’Tongming Ancient Road’ which was left unfinished, was excavated by Meng Kun and his team within one two-hour period."
"He mobilized fifty Ninth-Order Top-Grade Earth Dragon Drill Ships, and simultaneously ordered the Thirteen Saints, Xiao Zhe, to activate the [Earth Piercing Divine Ship], bringing fifteen of the siege weapon ’Ten Thousand Mountains’ over."
King Heavenly Destiny: "..."
After hearing Ji Anning say this, not only King Heavenly Destiny but even King Luo Hou couldn’t help but sigh: "Meng Kun is indeed skilled at digging warfare fortifications, we collaborated during the mid-term of Dingxin, but I never knew he had become so proficient."
The Ancient Earth Tunnel is a remnant of the Ascension Dynasty, utilizing the hyper-advanced techniques of the Earth’s veins.
However, not many Ancient Earth Tunnels remain; throughout the long history, many have been destroyed or buried, making re-excavation difficult.
Dao Yuan Continent to Lvliang State!
Meng Kun completed the journey in two hours from the start of action till the destination, which stunned King Luo Hou.
"Prince Liang’s legitimate grandson, Young Master Xi, was captured, five hundred thousand strong army, and over a hundred weak Third-rank warriors became mere clay cakes."
"Did Ji Dang just stand idly by?" King Heavenly Destiny still found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Of course not, he prepared to go for the rescue immediately." Ji Anning said, "But before he could mount his steed, he was captured by Xu Xing outside Tuquan Palace."
"!!!"
King Heavenly Destiny’s eyes widened, his expression even a bit anxious: "Even that old madman has intervened? Luo Hou, Anning, you’ve got to stop him!"
Self Sect Leader, Xu Xing, Dean of Shangluo Academy, possesses five Top-level Dharma Bodies.
King Heavenly Destiny and he are people of roughly the same era, thus why the impression of Xu Xing is so vivid.
Primarily because Xu Xing’s achievement speed in cultivating the second layer of Derivation God Decision is among the top three in this dynasty.
Before Liu Tianning emerged, five Top-level Dharma Bodies were the limit, and Xu Xing’s fame was unparalleled.
Xu Xing’s path to power was also exceedingly violent; he ascended solely through a path of slaughter.
Countless instances of [Great Dao Competition], exterminating all opposition thoroughly!
So infamously cruel was Emperor Jing that even the aristocratic families couldn’t bear it.
He had to directly intervene in the elections at that time, allowing Xu Xing to become dean early.
If the killing continued, what would happen? The emperor still needed people!
Moreover, King Heavenly Destiny knew something not widely known: Xu Xing once did some dishonorable work for Emperor Jing, during the Dingxin reforms, several tough nuts’ deaths were all related to Xu Xing.
The seven generations of Grand Minister of Agriculture were never from Self Sect, was it because Self Sect’s leader wasn’t strong?
Far from it, it was because they were too reckless!
During Emperor Wen’s period, it goes unsaid, even Emperor Jing dared not use the Self Sect leader as Grand Minister of Agriculture.
"Stop him, how?" Ji Anning smiled wryly, "His disciples and grandchildren were assassinated like this; Xu Xing now having only killed a thousand is already showing restraint."
"Only His Majesty can make him cease actions, luckily Xu Xing hasn’t escalated further, it’s said Ji Dang isn’t dead yet either."
King Heavenly Destiny let out a breath upon hearing this: "Thank goodness, just a thousand or so."
Being privy to Xu Xing’s secrets, King Heavenly Destiny felt it was indeed fortunate.
After all, with age, his temper never as harsh as in his youth.
Back in his younger days, Xu Xing loved to use the move where both perish or the world ends.
Nonetheless, King Heavenly Destiny remained apprehensive; Xu Xing, surpassing seven hundred in age, had not long to live, if he went mad, the situation could become uncontrollable.
The court still intends to minimize the impact of the Prince Liang incident.
Should it come to resolving matters through killing, Great Zhou’s luck is bound to be damaged.
The East Wasteland, Southern Desolate, the Water Clan, still watch like tigers from the sides, naturally wishing not for the world to fall into such turmoil.
Listening to Xu Xing’s mobilization, King Heavenly Destiny discovered that his palm had broken out in a layer of sweat.
"Following Xuantian Academy, Kunyuan Academy and Shangluo Academy successively issued similar internal decrees." Ji Anning said, "Cousin, Luo Hou, this is the situation now."
"I have one more question." King Luo Hou asked, "Xuantian Academy was influenced by Zhao Xing’s theoretical works, which impacted the Marquis Transformation Sect and could even measure the strength cycles of the Military Realm passage."
"Shangluo Academy was influenced by Liu Tianning and the ’Self Theory of Heaven and Earth’ issue."
