Starting from crossing the Fengshen

The first day of May, the seventh year of Emperor Qi.

Yuan Futong, Marquis of Youzhou, convened a meeting of 72 princes on the shores of the North Sea, enumerated the ten sins of Yin Qi, and then declared that he would "attack the unjust" and called on princes across the world to respond and send troops to attack Shang.

The ten sins he listed include:

The first crime: Commoners and slaves can also become officials, destroying the laws of ancestors.

The second sin: abolishing slavery and human sacrifice, and destroying the laws of our ancestors.

The third sin: He had been married for ten years and had no children for seven years after ascending the throne. This was a punishment from his ancestors.

The fourth sin...

……

In any case, all the reforms made by Yin Qi were wrong and they all destroyed the laws of our ancestors.

After the sacrifice, Yuan Futong swore an oath of blood with the seventy-two princes. That day, he used the teleportation array to teleport more than a hundred powerful immortals to fifteen princes' countries in batches and took control of the teleportation array.

Then, the army was continuously transported through the teleportation array, and the capitals of these vassal states were soon captured.

Seeing this, the other vassal states were frightened and closed the teleportation array one after another.

At the same time, he asked for help from Beibohou and Chaoge.

……

Yuan Futong's rebellion caused an uproar throughout the country.

"What? Yuan Futong led the 72 princes of Beihai to rebel. How is this possible?"

"No way. Our Great Shang is now more powerful than ever before. How dare Yuan Futong rebel? Is he courting death?"

"It's just a bastard, accusing the king of random crimes."

"Yuan Futong must die a miserable death. He dared to slander the king. I want to join the army and put down the rebellion."

……

The whole Shang Dynasty was in an uproar.

Even the old nobles who once opposed Yin Qi's reforms have now completely changed their attitudes and have great admiration for Yin Qi, because with the help of Yin Qi's reforms and development, they have all become stronger.

Whether it is cultivation or family financial resources.

You, Yuan Futong, rebelled if you wanted to, but they actually added ten crimes to Yin Qi. How could they tolerate this?

So people from all sides expressed their willingness, some wanted to join the army, and some wanted to donate.

Even though they were not within the Shang Dynasty, the people of other vassal states were also extremely angry with Yuan Futong, because they had truly felt Yin Qi's benevolence.

Not to mention anything else, Tai Chi rice alone is enough to make them grateful to Yin Qi.

Not to mention the various inventions and systems that have truly improved their status and quality of life, which was something they could never have imagined before.

It was almost one-sided, with the whole world criticizing Yuan Futong.

……

Xiqi.

Xibohou Mansion.

"Yuan Futong has rebelled, haha!"

Ji Chang was so excited that he couldn't help laughing. He looked at Jiang Ziya and said, "Prime Minister, since Yuan Futong has rebelled, should we also respond?"

Nangong Shi, San Yisheng and others nodded one after another, their eyes eager.

Originally, Xiqi's strength far exceeded that of Youzhou, and now with the support of the Chan sect, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds. All of them present have cultivated to become immortals, and there are also more than 500 earthly immortals in the country.

With the strength we have now, what are we waiting for?
Jiang Ziya looked calm and shook his head, saying, "No hurry. The strength of the Shang Dynasty is definitely not what you see. Yuan Futong is just a clown who can't make any waves."

Ji Fa was young and full of energy, so he could not help but retort: ​​"Prime Minister, I admit that Yin Shang is very strong, but are we in Xiqi weak? As far as the current situation is concerned, although Yin Shang has more than 200 immortals, it is far behind us."

The others nodded. The more than 200 people that Ji Fa mentioned were all the powerful immortals in the Shang Dynasty, such as Shang Rong, Bigan and other civil officials, as well as military commanders stationed in various places. The cultivation of these people could not be concealed from the outside world.

Jiang Ziya shook his head and sighed, "There are some things that I didn't intend to tell you now, so as not to undermine your self-confidence. But now that things have come to this, it's time to tell you, so as not to make you blindly arrogant."

Ji Chang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Why do you say that, Prime Minister?"

The others did the same, looking closely at Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya sighed and said, "Since three years ago, Emperor Qi has ordered the Martial Palace to bypass the various princes in the east and open up a new front to the east of the Dongyi to expand the territory. Now the new territory opened up by the Shang Dynasty has exceeded tens of millions of miles.

The Martial Palace has an army of 20 million elite soldiers who are good at fighting.

In addition, there are more than two thousand cultivators above the fairyland and hundreds of warships of various types.

With our current strength, we are still far behind the Shang Dynasty.

Yuan Futong is even more of a clown.”

"what!"

Ji Chang and the others were all dumbfounded, with their hearts in turmoil.

Two thousand powerful immortals, hundreds of warships, and a new domain covering more than tens of millions of miles. All of this made them feel like they were in a dream and could not imagine it at all.

"why?"

After the shock, everyone couldn't help but feel confused.

Why did Emperor Qi keep such great achievements secret and not report them, and why didn't he divide up the new territory of tens of millions of miles?

The strength of the Shang Dynasty made them feel unprecedented powerlessness.

If it weren't for the help of the Chan Sect, even Ji Chang would have to forget the hatred of his father's murder.

"I also want to know why."

Jiang Ziya's eyes gleamed, and he said solemnly: "Emperor Qi's talent and morality are completely comparable to, or even surpass, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Since he did this, there must be a deeper reason. Perhaps, he wants to reorganize the human race."

During the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as the common ruler, the Human Emperor was able to command the entire human race.

However, since Emperor Yu, the Human Emperor was no longer the common ruler, but the Great King. As a result, he lost the ability to command the entire human race and could only be confined to the human ancestral land.

Jiang Ziya suspected that Yin Qi wanted to reorganize the human race and unify the world.

But as soon as this thought came to mind, he felt it was absurd, so he couldn't even make out his voice, because the current Human Emperor was limited by the "Heavenly Rules" and had only a few decades of life, not even as long as an ordinary person.

Wanting to unify the ancient world is simply a foolish dream.

It's not a question of ability, but a question of lifespan.

The ancient world is vast, and its territory is measured in light years. Even if Yin Qi is given a lifespan of a hundred years, how much territory can be expanded in a hundred years?
Once Emperor Qi dies, will the new emperor still have the ability and ambition to do so?
Yin Qi (Jia Ren) chuckled secretly. He really wanted to say to Jiang Ziya: "Brother, you really guessed it right."

Looking at Ji Chang and the others who were greatly shocked, he coughed lightly and said solemnly: "My Lord, you don't have to be discouraged. The development of the Shang Dynasty is just one step ahead of us. We have the support of the Chan Sect. As long as we focus on development for a few more years, we will definitely catch up."

Ji Chang was also shocked when he heard this, and said in a sonorous voice: "The Minister of the Chancellery is right. We have the support of the Chan Sect, so what do we have to fear? I have waited for decades to avenge my father's murder, so I don't mind waiting for another few decades."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

Yes, the saint of the Chan sect stands behind us.

Jiang Ziya smiled with relief and said, "Although we cannot join in the rebellion of Yuan Futong, we can secretly support them and cause some trouble for the Shang Dynasty. As for us, I think that in addition to the original plan, we can also learn from the Shang Dynasty, bypass the various princes in the west, and open up a new front to expand our territory."

Ji Chang and the others' eyes lit up, and they all nodded and said, "That's fine."

Ji Chang said: "Prime Minister, to bypass the various princes in the west, we need to set up a teleportation array. But the method of building the teleportation array has always been a secret of the Shang Dynasty. We..."

Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was clear.

If we ask the Shang Dynasty to set up a teleportation array again, I’m afraid they will guess their intentions immediately.

"It's easy."

Jiang Ziya said, he looked at Yin Qi and said: "Brother Dao, you want to learn refining equipment, right? After I reported to Master, Master has made a decision and granted you a jade slip for refining equipment. I checked it out yesterday and found a method for building a teleportation array, and it even has the most advanced teleportation array that can cross the entire prehistoric world."
