Daxuan Wusheng: Start by practicing and adding points

Chapter 472: The Ninth Order of God (8k)

Chen Mu walked into the White Jade Pavilion and picked up a roll of demon skin from the shelf. He saw tiny handwriting written on it. It was obvious that it was written a long time ago because some of the ancient fonts had been abandoned.

"…In the 157th year of the Great Xuan calendar, monsters from the outer sea invaded. The imperial court dispatched the Azure Dragon and White Tiger armies to the East Lin line to fight the monsters and kill countless monsters and monster kings. Then, a 10th-rank Sky Monster Black Tortoise attacked, causing heavy casualties to the Azure Dragon army. Before the two armies could surround it, the Black Tortoise fled into the depths of the outer sea and disappeared."

Chen Mu looked carefully at the words on the monster skin and found that this volume of monster skin recorded the traces of all the tenth-order celestial monsters that had appeared in the world since the founding of the Daxuan Kingdom, from the beginning of the Daxuan Kingdom to the first 1,100 years of the Daxuan calendar.

That is about three hundred years ago.

According to the records above, there has been no trace of a tenth-rank peerless celestial demon in the world for more than three hundred years.

Chen Mu also saw similar news, such as more than 600 years ago, a tenth-level celestial demon appeared in Nan Marsh. The news spread and immediately alarmed the world. Various forces, led by the imperial court, took action. In a short period of time, they gathered dozens of blood-exchanging realm masters and several celestial masters to track down the demon and eventually killed it in the depths of Nan Marsh.

A peerless celestial demon of the tenth rank is full of treasures. Hunting a tenth rank celestial demon can almost lay the foundation for an elite army like the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, not to mention the blood and sweat of the tenth rank celestial demon, which even celestial masters will fight for.

Even if it were the current Chen Mu, if he learned of the appearance of a tenth-order celestial demon, he would still go hunting it down immediately.

of course.

Among these records, although most of the traces of the tenth-order celestial demons would attract much attention as soon as they appeared in the world, and the imperial court and sectarian forces would all be mobilized, they were, after all, the most powerful demons in the world, and more than half of the records still disappeared in the end.

Chen Mu read it from top to bottom, and then put the scroll of demon skin back. It cannot be said that the record about the tenth-level celestial demon is completely useless to him. After all, he needs celestial demon resources for his cultivation now. If the resources he collected later are not enough to cultivate the Blood Exchange Realm to the limit, then he may have to travel around the world and explore these places with records to see if he can happen to find some tenth-level celestial demons and kill them to replenish resources.

After putting down the demon skin that recorded the tenth-order celestial demon, Chen Mu looked at another roll of demon skin and picked it up again. This roll of demon skin recorded a lot of information about the Earth Abyss, some of which Chen Mu knew, but most of which Chen Mu did not know. He looked at it for a while, showed a thoughtful look, and put it down.

There are not many monster skins displayed here.

After all, this is the Forbidden Pavilion of Daxuan, so there are naturally very few intelligence or records that are qualified to be included.

After flipping through several volumes of monster skins, Chen Mu finally found the volume of monster skin that recorded the Great Wilderness. There were a lot of words on this volume of monster skin, but they were not coherent to each other. The handwriting was different from top to bottom. It was obvious that different people had explored the Great Wilderness over the past thousands of years and recorded different things.

——The Great Wilderness is located deep in the wasteland outside the Great Wall. Only those who are above the Grandmaster level can enter. The tides of heaven and earth are turbulent. Even if a Grandmaster sets foot there rashly, he will be in danger of death. Only masters of the Blood Exchange Realm are truly suitable for exploration. But even those in the Blood Exchange Realm are still full of dangers. In the thousands of years before the founding of Daxuan, countless people in the Blood Exchange Realm disappeared in the Great Wilderness.

This is the earliest recorded intelligence message.

This one was not of much help to Chen Mu, as he basically knew it all.

Read on.

——The entrance to the Great Wilderness seems similar to the entrance to the Cave Heaven Land. It is an ever-changing void passage. It is no longer in the same world as the Daxuan World. However, the Cave Heaven Land often has a certain size, but the Great Wilderness is almost boundless.

——The entrance to the Great Wilderness changes all the time, and its position appears almost without any specific pattern, which is completely different from the entrance and exit of the Cave Heaven. After countless explorations and summaries, the only rule is that once the entrance to the Great Wilderness appears, its position will not change within three or four months. The most suitable time to explore is within these three months. Once the entrance changes and disappears, it will be completely impossible to return.

——Even if the entrance to the Great Wilderness appears at a location close to the same one, it is a completely different area after entering. This is different from the changes in the Abyss. The changes in the terrain in the Abyss are caused by the surging of the earth veins, while the changes in the Great Wilderness seem to be a completely different spatial area. Until now, there is still no completely consistent map of the Great Wilderness.

——The dangers in the Great Wilderness include the tides of heaven and earth, as well as the appearance of tenth-order peerless celestial demons, and there are more than one of them. In addition, there are some other strange creatures, which are neither demons nor monsters, but they are powerful and have strange abilities. Even a master of heaven and earth may fall into danger if he is not careful. You should be extremely cautious when exploring the Great Wilderness.

Chen Mu read the messages one by one.

After reading only half of it, he had a deeper understanding of the Great Wilderness, and even had some vague guesses in his mind. According to this information, the Great Wilderness is vast and boundless, seemingly even more vast than the outer sea. There have been no repeated areas so far, and there are all kinds of "alien" creatures in it. These incomprehensible aliens may be creatures born in different worlds.

In his opinion, the Great Wilderness is either a world that is more vast and vast than the world of Daxuan, or it is a strange and exotic land that is connected to many different worlds, far more than just Daxuan.

Chen Mu continued to look down.

When he saw the area roughly in the middle, the situation finally changed. The description of the 'Godly Realm' appeared for the first time in the text.

——The Great Wilderness can be divided into the outer realm and the inner realm. The outer realm is extremely vast, and each time a passage appears, the area it leads to is different, but the inner realm seems to be an unchanging area. In the inner realm, one accidentally learns that blood transfusion is the end of martial arts, but it is not the ultimate realm of cultivation. All roads lead to one end, which is called the Divine Realm.

Seeing this description, a glimmer of light finally flashed in Chen Mu's eyes. He continued to read on and found that the Daxuan court's understanding of the Great Wilderness was indeed very in-depth. After many subsequent explorations, it was basically confirmed that the Great Wilderness had two different areas, the inner realm and the outer realm. One could enter the inner realm by passing through the outer realm, but compared to the outer realm, the inner realm was much more dangerous.

Moreover, just crossing the outer realm is not an easy task. After all, people in the Blood Exchange Realm have to be cautious when exploring the outer realm, and even masters of the celestial realm have to be careful and cautious. One careless move may lead to death.

Most of the dangers in the outer world come from the tides of heaven and earth, demons and monsters, etc., and in addition to these, the dangers in the inner world also come from creatures from other worlds, such as the spirit people. They either practice powers similar to martial arts, or completely different systems. They cannot speak each other's language, and their strength is almost all extremely powerful!

According to the description in the record.

The Daxuan court explored the Great Wilderness countless times, but there were only a few records of them actually reaching the inner realm. In these records, all the alien enemies encountered, even the weakest, were comparable to the masters of heaven and earth!
The Great Wilderness is extremely vast, and once you reach the inner realm, any random person that appears is comparable to a celestial master. Could it be that the world that the Great Wilderness leads to is the world that is above the Great Xuan and where the divine realm exists?
Such a thought flashed through Chen Mu’s mind.

He continued to look down until he reached the very bottom, and his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

I saw.

At the very bottom there were a few lines of familiar-looking handwriting. Chen Mu knew who the handwriting belonged to at a glance. It belonged to the previous generation's Emperor Xuan, Ji Yongzhao. Although Ji Yongzhao's soul had become the nourishment for his transformation and allowed him to obtain some memory fragments about Ji Yongzhao, those memories were very fragmented and incomplete, and there were only very small parts.

There are almost no pictures about the Great Wilderness, nor the part that Ji Yongzhao wrote on this scroll of demon skin.

After carefully reading the handwriting written by Ji Yongzhao, Chen Mu's eyes could not help but flash with a little light and strange color, because these few short paragraphs revealed a lot of information that was completely beyond his previous understanding!
First, the first sentence.

——Dahuang, suspected to be a battlefield or a place for training, is connected to many worlds comparable to the mountains and rivers of Daxuan.

Although this sentence uses a tone of inference, it is completely different from past records about the Great Wilderness. Ji Yongzhao must have learned something from the Great Wilderness, otherwise it would be impossible to make such an inference!
This also overturned Chen Mu's previous judgment of the Great Wilderness. He previously believed that the Great Wilderness was a secret place, or a world above the Great Xuan, a place similar to the so-called "upper realm", but now it seems that this is probably not the case.

Look down again.

Chen Mu saw some information that he had never heard of before.

——Above the Blood Exchange Realm is the Divine Realm, but reaching the Divine Realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and although it is only one step away, the gap between them is as huge as the chasm between heaven and earth. As far as I know, beings in the Divine Realm cannot set foot in the Great Wilderness, but beings below the Divine Realm also have a huge gap in strength in the Great Wilderness. They divide the creatures in the Great Wilderness into nine levels according to their strength, and they are called the Nine Levels Below the Divine Realm.

Although the specific demarcation is still unclear, I have a rough idea.

Martial artists in the Blood Exchange Realm in the world believe that they have reached the pinnacle of body-tempering martial arts, but in fact they cannot even see the path to the Divine Realm. The strength they can exert is only at the level of "one level below Divine" in the Great Wilderness.

A master of heaven and earth can reach the 'Second Order of God'.

The most advanced masters in the world today can barely make it to the 'third level below the Gods'.

The limit of heaven and man may be able to reach the 'fourth level below god'. No one of this level has ever been born in the world. According to the records in ancient historical books, Emperor Taizu Wu should not have reached this level either. This is limited by heaven and earth and is beyond human power.

If one can comprehend the rudiments of the original Dao, or cultivate an immortal mind and soul, or cultivate an immortal body, one can reach the fifth level below God.

If one masters two of the three, he will be a god at the sixth level.

Possessing all three is the seventh level below being a god.

The eighth and ninth levels, I have never seen them, nor heard of them, so I don’t know them yet—

"It's a bit interesting."

Chen Mu looked at the passage written by Ji Yongzhao on the scroll of demon skin, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

He was the most clear about the difficulty of reaching the divine realm. After all, in the world today, no one could go further than him in the practice of the body-tempering martial arts. But even he could not reach the so-called 'immortal body' at present.

The 'Nine Steps Below God' written by Ji Yongzhao is actually just a distinction based on strength. In essence, they all still belong to the blood exchange realm and still cannot reach the god realm. Therefore, the so-called 'Nine Steps Below God' is quite reasonable.

Just like a celestial master, in essence, he is still in the blood exchange stage. Even Chen Mu now feels that the process of becoming a celestial being is more like tempering the mind and soul with heaven and earth. It is a process of cultivating the mind and soul. However, this path of cultivation is very rough and extremely imperfect. The whole process is full of dangers and one can die if one is not careful.

As for saying.

In the same realm, the gap in strength between each other is so big that it is even divided into nine stages. Chen Mu doesn’t think it is strange. After all, it is the blood exchange realm, the last step to the divine realm.

Just like the gap between a grandmaster and another grandmaster is as huge as the difference between heaven and earth, even if they are all in the Six Fu organs realm, the top masters on the ranking list can even shake the grandmaster, and are enough to easily slaughter those ordinary Six Fu organs realm masters. The gap between them is also far more than one level.

"An immortal soul and an immortal body... if one possesses both, one has already entered the divine realm."

Chen Mu muttered to himself.

Putting aside the origin of the Tao, he knew that the immortal soul was the divine heart, and the immortal body was the divine body. With both the divine heart and the divine body, one could break the shackles of heaven and earth and step into the realm of gods in one step.

That is to say, beings like the 'Sixth Order Below God' who possess both an immortal soul and an immortal body as recorded by Ji Yongzhao can enter the realm of gods at any time. In essence, they are only one step away from entering the realm of gods.

However, such a person is still not invincible below the divine realm.

Above them are the 'Seventh Order of Gods' who have comprehended the rudiments of the origin of the Dao, and even the eighth and ninth orders that even Ji Yongzhao is unclear about. Such beings do not strive to impact the divine realm, but instead suppress the realm and prevent breakthroughs. Their appearance in the Great Wilderness shows that the Great Wilderness is far more than what they currently understand. Just as Ji Yongzhao guessed, it may be a battlefield or a place for training.

After all, Ji Yongzhao also knew a key piece of information, that is, in the Great Wilderness, the true divine realm could not be entered.

"I wonder what level my current strength ranks at?"

Chen Mu put down the demon skin in his hand and showed a thoughtful look.

According to Ji Yongzhao's judgment, the world's top celestial masters could barely make it to the third level below the gods, and his current strength, even if it could not reach the fourth level below the gods, should be at the pinnacle of the third level below the gods.

After a little thought, Chen Mu did not dwell on it. After all, he now had enough resources, and it would be a natural thing for him to cultivate the Qiankun Martial Body to the "Perfection of Blood Refining". When he stepped into the Heavenly Man level and further improved his mind and soul, his strength would surely leap to the top of the fourth level under God, and then he would be able to truly begin to touch the threshold of the God Realm!
After obtaining the information you need.

Chen Mu did not stay for long. He walked out of the Imperial History Pavilion slowly and looked towards the front hall.

He had only been here for a short while to check the secret intelligence, and the people in the front hall should not have arrived yet. After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of something else and asked, "Where is the Eight Phases Diagram of the Daxuan Court?"

"Reporting to the Lord, it is at the Martial Hall."

The eunuch following beside him responded respectfully.

Many years ago, when he was cultivating his artistic conception, Chen Mu had always coveted the Eight Phases Diagram of the imperial court. He had also always wanted to find the lost original diagram and the broken picture book, but until now he had never heard any news about it.

Now that he has come to Zhongzhou, he might as well take a look at the Eight Phases Diagram held by the imperial court. It is said that the Eight Phases Diagram of Qiankun held by the imperial court was drawn by the disciples of the painting sage back then. It is the best-quality diagram of the three generations. I don't know if it will be of any use to him.

"lead the way."

Chen Mu said calmly.

"Yes."

The Grandmaster eunuch bowed in response and immediately led the way again, leading Chen Mu out of the West Courtyard and heading to the Martial Palace located in the east of the Imperial City. They soon arrived in front of the Martial Palace. As the Martial Palace of the Daxuan court, the entire palace was extremely magnificent and spectacular. It was a continuous palace, and its momentum was almost as great as that of the Imperial City's palace. Although it was not magnificent, it was also majestic and solemn.

The Great Xuanwu Hall.

As a place for cultivating true elites, apart from the princes with royal blood and the more outstanding children from the Ji family's side branches, only the most top-notch geniuses are qualified to come to the Martial Hall to practice martial arts. It can be said that the worst have to be the best among the inner disciples of the Seven Profound Sect, and many are even comparable to the true disciples of the major sects.

There are only a few hundred people in each generation who are qualified to practice martial arts in the Martial Hall.

now.

The huge martial arts hall was empty. There were basically no martial artists practicing martial arts here. A rough sense showed that it was deserted. It was obvious that since Chen Mu had charged into the imperial city and swept across Kyoto, the hall had been deserted for a long time.

Chen Mu looked at the magnificent Martial Hall without caring much. He just walked up, climbed dozens of steps, and came to the front of the Martial Hall. He looked up at the huge plaque hanging in the center of the hall.

The Great Xuanwu Palace!

The four large characters, written in a flamboyant style, sparkle in the sunlight, and just one glance at them gives people a feeling of majesty and solemnity, as if there is a hint of pressure condensed on the characters, which has lasted for thousands of years.

There was no need for the eunuch behind him to explain, Chen Mu already knew who wrote the words on the plaque. There was no doubt that it was written by the founding Emperor Wu of Daxuan, Ji Hao, who founded the Daxuan Dynasty and ruled the world for a thousand years!

The first person to master the way of Qiankun!

now.

Chen Mu looked up and gazed at the words written by Ji Hao. His gaze seemed to vaguely cross a thousand years. He saw the man who swept the world and dominated the world more than a thousand years ago, and he saw him looking at him from afar across the years.

Chen Mu had some admiration for Ji Hao. At least he was much stronger than Ji Yongzhao and the like. As the first person in the world to master the Way of Qiankun, he had paved the way for future warriors. It was a pity that he was born at the wrong time. In that era more than a thousand years ago, he had no chance to reach the path to the divine realm.

If Ji Hao could be born in later times, thousands or even tens of thousands of years later, he would still be able to sweep the world, he would still be a world-renowned hero, and he might even become the first person of that era to step into the realm of gods.

of course.

The prerequisite is that you have to be born in an era without him.

Otherwise, no matter how dazzling the brilliance or how amazing the talent, it will be dimmed by his shadow.

Didn't stay long.

Chen Mu only slightly sensed a trace of Ji Hao's remaining artistic conception, then he retracted his gaze and continued to move forward. At the same time, he cast his eyes to the front of the Martial Hall. An old man in simple white clothes had stood in front of the main entrance of the Martial Hall at some point in time.

"Martial Hall Master Lu Zongxi greets Chen Sheng."

The old man looked serious and bowed to Chen Mu.

He has been the master of the Martial Hall for hundreds of years and has taught countless people, including more than one disciple who has reached the Blood Exchange Realm. He is several times older than Chen Mu and is approaching the end of his life. He no longer cares about life and death. Even if Chen Mu is so powerful and brutal that he slaughters everyone in Kyoto, he will not be afraid and will not bow down to him.

His salute was not to show his respect for Chen Mu's strength, intimidation and oppression in sweeping across Kyoto, but to show his respect for Chen Mu for opening up a new era for martial arts and bringing martial arts to a new height.

On the road of martial arts, the one who achieves success comes first. Chen Mu has achieved this, so he is naturally a martial arts sage, the first in the world.

"Palace Master Lu, there is no need to be so polite."

Chen Mu looked at Lu Zongxi and responded calmly.

The name of Lu Zongxi, the master of the Martial Hall, is also well-known throughout the world. He has also heard of it for a long time. Although he is now just an old warrior in the Blood Exchange Realm, he is also a genius of his generation. He never participates in court affairs, but only teaches and accepts students. He is deeply respected by countless warriors.

Previously, when he attacked Yujing and entered the imperial city, Lu Zongxi did not interfere. Chen Mu always treated people with whom he had no grudges as if they respected him a foot, and he would respect them a yard. He would not look down on everyone just because he was the best in the world. In his eyes, he always treated common people and kings and generals equally. What's more, in terms of age, the master of the Martial Hall was already over 200 years old.

"Chen Sheng has paved the way for the martial arts, and he deserves my respect."

Lu Zongxi responded to Chen Mu with a dignified look, and then said: "Chen Sheng came to the Martial Hall, probably for the Eight Phases Diagram."

Chen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I want to see the Eight Phases Diagram held by the court."

Lu Zongxi said: "Chen Sheng, please follow me."

Say it.

Lu Zongxi then walked into the Martial Hall.

Chen Mu walked forward with his hands behind his back, following Lu Zongxi. The Grand Master eunuch who followed him stood respectfully outside the hall and did not follow him in without permission.

Chen Mu followed Lu Zongxi all the way into the Martial Hall until they reached the deepest part, a very spacious quiet room. He finally saw the Qiankun Eight Phases Diagram held by the current court, hanging on the wall of this quiet room.

but.

After just one look, Chen Mu felt a little disappointed.

Although he had expected this, the mysteries contained in the "Three Generations Picture" held by the court, which was painted by the disciple of the painting saint, were somewhat mediocre to him, and there was basically nothing worth comprehending.

After all, according to what he knew, the disciple directly taught by the Saint of Painting was just an ordinary person at the Blood Exchange Realm, not even at the level of a celestial being. The mysteries contained in the maps he could draw were naturally difficult to reach the highest level.

but.

Just when Chen Mu was feeling extremely disappointed, Lu Zongxi, the master of the Martial Hall, who was standing beside him, stared at Chen Mu with a pair of old eyes, but suddenly stretched out his hand, gently pulled out a roll of demon skin from his sleeve, and handed it to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was slightly startled, then he reached out to take it and then opened it.

With just one glance, his eyes were fixed.

I saw.

There is a painting on this monster skin. As the painting unfolds, it seems as if a desolate and majestic breath is blowing in the face. The whole monster skin painting is deep in color, as if it has gone through countless years.

Chen Mu only took a glance and knew what this monster skin scroll was.

The original...Eight Phase Diagram!

Yes!

This is the original Eight Phases Diagram that was rumored to have been lost by the imperial court long ago. It is the oldest scroll hand-painted by many of the world's top celestial beings at a discussion on the Dao in Kunlun many years ago. It represents the original starting point of the Dao of Qiankun!
This cannot be wrong. With Chen Mu's current realm, he only needs to take a glance to know that this is either a picture copied from a picture book by the Saint of Painting, or the oldest original picture!
"This map was said to have been lost, so why is it in the hands of Palace Master Lu?"

Chen Mu held the original map in surprise and turned his gaze to Lu Zongxi standing beside him. It was really beyond his expectation that the original map would appear in front of him so easily and fall into his hands.

Lu Zongxi looked at the picture in Chen Mu's hand and said with a little sigh: "The late emperor was born with a destiny. His talent and understanding are both unparalleled. His path of cultivation is smooth and unobstructed. That is the true destiny. He has everything he needs. When the late emperor reached the realm of blood exchange, he wanted to comprehend the original picture and cultivate into a celestial being. This original picture quietly fell into the hands of the late emperor."

"The late emperor also relied on this map to comprehend the artistic conception and become a celestial being. He then gave this map to me for safekeeping."

After listening to Lu Zongxi's words.

Chen Mu was also a little emotional for a moment.

The late emperor that Lu Zongxi mentioned was naturally not Ji Xuanfei, but Emperor Jingtai Ji Yongzhao.

He had never seen these from Ji Yongzhao's broken memories, but based on what he knew and personally experienced of Ji Yongzhao's few broken skills, Ji Yongzhao was indeed born with destiny. He had whatever he wanted. It could be said that when the time came, heaven and earth were on his side. When he reached the blood exchange realm, he needed to comprehend the artistic conception and enter the realm of heaven. By chance, he found the lost original map, and with the help of the original map, he stepped into the realm of heaven and even understood the eight phases of heaven and earth.

This also laid the foundation for his later use of the method of merging souls and seizing orifices to steal the bodies of others and seize the Qiankun martial body. By the time he came out of seclusion, his deeds were complete.

It was precisely because of this smooth progress that Ji Yongzhao never thought that he would fail. After finding him in the outer sea with some means, he directly used the evil method of melting the soul and seizing the body on him, resulting in his death!
Even this original map finally fell into his hands.

When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together. There is a second half to this poem, which is - When luck is gone, the hero cannot be free.

When Ji Yongzhao met him, his destiny and luck came to an end. Everything he had collected throughout his life, including the priceless intelligence he gained from exploring the Great Wilderness, the thousand-year heritage and accumulation of Daxuan, and this original Eight Phases Diagram, were finally his.

Chen Mu once again turned his gaze to the original map in his hand, and after taking a careful look at it, he deeply realized the mysteries of the Eight Phases of Heaven and Earth contained therein. These engraved mysteries were far beyond the comparison of the three-generation map hanging on the wall, and were of great value to him.

no doubt.

With this map, he no longer needs to travel around the world and measure the mountains and rivers with his footsteps. He only needs to comprehend this map. It won’t take too long for him to accumulate enough experience and become a celestial being in one fell swoop.

Even without the system panel, Chen Mu was confident that he could achieve celestial being status within a few years based on this diagram alone.

Chen Mu took the original map, turned his head and looked at Lu Zongxi beside him, and said: "This original map is indeed what I need at the moment. Palace Master Lu has handed this map to me. If you have any request, just tell me."

I'm afraid that only Ji Yongzhao and Lu Zongxi knew about the original map. Lu Zongxi could have hidden the map, but he didn't. Instead, he took the initiative to hand it over to him. Naturally, Chen Mu didn't intend to treat him unfairly.

Lu Zongxi looked calm and said, "I have devoted my whole life to martial arts and have no special desires. This map belongs to the late emperor. All I want is for Chen Sheng to treat the descendants of the Ji family well. This way, I can give an explanation to the late emperor."

After listening to Lu Zongxi's words, Chen Mu was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"I originally planned to eradicate the Han and Liang kings, and not pursue the Ji family's side branches. As for the throne of the Great Xuan court, I will choose someone with virtue. But Lord Lu has this request, so the throne will still be chosen from the descendants of the Ji family."

Apart from eradicating the Han and Liang branches, he also did not intend to wipe out the hundreds of thousands of Ji family branches that had long been isolated. However, he did not intend to leave the throne to the Ji family. He considered discussing with the court officials and choosing a wise man to succeed the throne.

Now that Lu Zongxi has handed the original map to him, and what he asked for was not for himself, he didn't mind relaxing some of the restrictions. Except for Han Wang Ji Xuanfei and Liang Wang Ji Xuanzhen, the two lineages will be uprooted and wiped out, the other branches of the Ji family will not be investigated. The throne will still be among the branches of the Ji family, and a virtuous person will be chosen to succeed him. In this way, Zhongzhou and Kyoto will be stabilized as soon as possible.

It's not that he has kindness in his heart.

But at his current level, there is no longer any threat in the world, and he can decide the life and death of hundreds of millions of people with a single thought. However, he has no interest in slaughtering people indiscriminately. He only kills the main culprits who have a grudge against him, and does not vent his anger on the rest of the irrelevant people.

"Thank you, Chen Sheng."

Lu Zongxi bowed to Chen Mu again.

"Palace Master Lu, there is no need to do this."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly and said, "I have summoned important officials from the court and various forces in Gyeonggi Province to discuss matters in the front hall. I will then formulate a plan to quell the chaos in Zhongzhou as soon as possible. I do not want to see the world in chaos and the people suffering."
