Chapter 904: Chapter 47: Cultivating the Top-level Dharma Body—Zhao Xing’s Second Plan! (Da Zhang, please vote for monthly ticket)
"What is Kunyuan Academy up to?"
King Heavenly Destiny was also taken aback.
Luo Hou King expressed his doubts as well.
Yes, what is Kunyuan Underground Palace after?
...
Zhao Xing waited quietly in the room for King Heavenly Destiny.
He waited for a full seven days.
Seven days later, King Heavenly Destiny walked through the door again.
"You’re here." Zhao Xing rose from his meditation. "Can I go out now?"
King Heavenly Destiny looked at Zhao Xing, his gaze held a hint of helplessness.
"This still needs further discussion."
"Ah, why?"
King Heavenly Destiny spoke with irritation: "Why? Don’t you have a clue yourself?"
Zhao Xing was a bit bewildered: "I truly don’t know what I did."
King Heavenly Destiny tossed over a dossier: "See for yourself, I didn’t realize you’ve been involved in so many significant acts."
Zhao Xing opened the dossier to look.
It was an overview of intelligence.
[April 29th, Yin hour, Kunyuan Academy, Meng Kun, and the Thirteen Saints...]
The records mostly covered the actions of key figures from the three sects.
Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised as he read.
He originally just intended to borrow some eastern wind.
It resulted in a level-twelve tornado!
"This..."
Zhao Xing didn’t know what to say either.
He had either greatly underestimated or overestimated the impact of his two theories.
Even a small advance for the era could lead to incalculable outcomes when applied to specific powers or events.
Years later, perhaps no one would remember Prince Liang’s rebellion, but classics would be eternal!
At this time, Zhao Xing couldn’t help but recall the test at Gucheng, thankful that he was cautious enough not to write any earth-shattering theories then.
Now, with his strength and talent, he is qualified to bear these, bringing more advantages than disadvantages.
King Heavenly Destiny looked at Zhao Xing’s expression and knew Zhao Xing did not intentionally hide anything.
After all, he had mentioned working on theories, but both King Heavenly Destiny, Luo Hou King, and Zhao Xing himself had underestimated the influence.
"Alright, I don’t mean to blame you." King Heavenly Destiny said, "Tell me, what’s going on with Kunyuan Academy? You haven’t published any Earth Advantage Sect theories, have you?"
Zhao Xing shook his head: "I can confirm there’s none, the ’Self Theory of Heaven and Earth· Geographical Advantage’ content is merely about utilizing plants for earth advantage, which only touches on the topic."
"’Earth Return’ and ’Ksitigarbha Returning Origin’ are classics from the Earth Advantage Sect, which have some relevance with Self Sect, but wouldn’t be regarded as their own classics."
The Heavenly Time Sect classic ’Seasonal Order’ surely impacts earth advantage, but wouldn’t be considered works of the other two sects either.
"Why exactly? Could you be Meng Kun’s illegitimate child, which would still be off by a generation?"
"..."
Zhao Xing helplessly said: "Perhaps because I promised Mr. Meng to write a piece for him to review later."
"Can it really be like this?" King Heavenly Destiny gained insight.
"Indeed." Zhao Xing nodded.
Meng Kun being so hardcore wasn’t something he anticipated, but he couldn’t find another explanation.
"Prince, what should be done now?" Zhao Xing asked.
Because the dossier contained other changes over the seven days.
Such as Prince Liang publicly declaring on May 4th that he wasn’t aware of the assassination.
Claiming that it was strategist ’Gu Wenhe’ acting on his own initiative.
Upon discovering Gu Wenhe colluding with Outer Demons, practicing forbidden magic, he ordered Gu Wenhe’s execution.
No option left, Prince Liang summoned King Qin, trying to rally multiple forces.
If he could silently eliminate Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning, it would obviously be ideal.
Once exposed, a scapegoat must be found.
Even though everyone knew what happened, appearances needed to be maintained.
The sacrifice of a Second Grade Etiquette Cultivation’s life, Ling Ruochen, Meng Kun, was just one faction. Even if not to regain the Ministry of Agriculture’s power, it had to be displayed to other neutral parties.
King Heavenly Destiny stared at Zhao Xing’s head for a while, as if gazing into the future.
After a while, King Heavenly Destiny pondered: "I can conceal your heavenly secret, but you shouldn’t act impulsively anytime soon."
"Fuse your seven-star Life Soul as one, and at most, let your clone perform some logistics tasks."
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.
He understood King Heavenly Destiny was looking out for him.
The current level of contention was too high; staying low-key might benefit him more.
"All three sects expressed the same intent." King Heavenly Destiny said, "The court shouldn’t assign you any dangerous missions akin to assassinating the Tianxia King anymore."
King Heavenly Destiny was under significant pressure.
If Zhao Xing died under his watch, Liu Tianning would go mad, and when Liu Tianning went mad, Xu Xing would go mad together.
This would severely disrupt His Majesty’s plans.
But some matters, can be done but not said.
His Majesty’s plans are precisely those that cannot be voiced publicly.
"Regarding Xuantian Academy, you don’t need to do Cave Heaven Numerology with Hu Yang anymore, leave it all to Hu Yang and his senior brother."
"Meng Kun initially intended to send experts to bring you back, but with the distant journey, too many variables arose, I rejected it along with Luo Hou King."
As long as Zhao Xing’s true body was safe, neither Meng Kun nor Xu Xing cared.
At Xuantian Academy, as long as Zhao Xing ceased calculating the Military Realm Passage’s cycles.
Only Zhao Xing’s clone, which possesses mere third-rank early stage strength.
When active in Pinghai State, the influence diminishes significantly, irrelevant to the overall situation.
With so many third-ranks, one more Zhao Xing or one less wouldn’t make a difference.
The three sects along with King Heavenly Destiny and Luo Hou King preferred Zhao Xing to do nothing rather than expending his future.
Zhao Xing quickly understood the implication and listened quietly.
"You have two destinations for your true self now."
