After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Prince Wu’s Palace, inside the main hall.

At this moment, Qi Yuan and Feng Wuji had both left to prepare for the Northern Expedition. Only Yao Yue and Jiang Che were left in the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet.

Jiang Che's silence was because he was thinking about the current situation in the world.

Now, it is very clear that the imperial court is weak and he is strong. The only thing he needs to be wary of are the so-called hidden old monsters. However, even if he is wary, Jiang Che cannot scare himself.

He was determined to destroy the imperial court, no matter what the cost.

What he needs to do now is to push the display to the Zhongzhou front as quickly as possible, and then, decide the outcome in one battle and completely establish his own ambition of being king and hegemon.

At the same time, he also made use of several sacrifices from the imperial court to allow his own cultivation to reach the peak of sainthood.

By then.

Relying on the Dragon Vein Sword, he may be able to fight against this old monster who has mastered the power of rules. As long as this virtuous cycle continues, it is only a matter of time before he becomes invincible.

As for Yao Yue's meditation, it was a little different.

Ever since Jiang Che brought the girls of the Qi family back to Yuezhou, her situation has become somewhat awkward. After all, what happened between her and Jiang Che has now become an unspoken secret among the upper class of Yuezhou.

She herself had even acquiesced to Jiang Che's repeated attacks.

But this still doesn't mean that she is willing to share a husband with other women.

At least, not openly.

After a moment, Jiang Che came back to his senses, turned to look at Yao Yue and said:

"Let's go, Wanjun and the others are waiting in the backyard, it's time for our family to reunite."

"What family? Jiang Che, I never said that we would become a family." Yao Yue raised her eyebrows and replied without changing her expression.

"Then it's ok for me to invite you to a gathering, right? Wanjun, Xianzhi and the others know everything about our relationship. Hiding it is not a solution. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep with me in the future."

Jiang Che advised with a smile.

He basically knew Yao Yue's personality inside and out, so he was naturally prepared to go along with what she said.

"Bedtime attendant?"

Yao Yue frowned.

"Double cultivation, double cultivation."

Jiang Che immediately changed his words, and then said:
"I think you are also aware of the benefits of our dual cultivation. Yaoyue, you are a seeker of truth, don't you want to make further progress? If you practice hard, it will take at least sixty years to raise your cultivation to the peak of the Manifestation of Sainthood.

But if you practice dual cultivation, this speed will be greatly shortened."

Yao Yue has the Taiyin Immortal Body, while he has the Dragon Vein and an extraordinary physique. Plus, both of them are Martial Saints, so the improvement that can be brought by dual cultivation far exceeds that of meditation and hard training.

This is especially true for people like Yao Yue who are not cheating.

Listening to Jiang Che's admonition, Yao Yue's eyes flickered, and she immediately stood up and found an excuse:
"Both of your wives have Xuanyin constitutions, so I can give them some pointers."

"How about letting them worship you as their teacher?"

Jiang Che suggested enthusiastically.

Yao Yue's face turned cold:
"That's not necessary."

When they were in the small world before, Jiang Che did not avoid her. The chaotic relationships among the girls at that time still made her find it difficult to accept when she thinks about it now.

What sisters, master and apprentice?
It's simply disregarding human ethics.

How could she, the former imperial teacher of a country and the head of the Taoist sect, go along with such evil?
"Well, let's go."

Jiang Che shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.

the other side.

Ji Nantian, who had severed his ties with the Confucian Sage in Shenghai City, had now arrived at his next stop. However, at this moment, he had already lost most of his confidence.

He looked a little depressed.

After all, the first battle was unfavorable and he was rejected by the Confucian sage, which was completely contrary to his original vision. The current court was indeed in a precarious situation.

Without a truly strong person to turn the tide, the fate of the Great Zhou can be imagined.

As the patriarch of the Ji clan, Ji Nantian undoubtedly bears enormous pressure. If the thousand-year-old Ji clan is really destroyed in his generation, how will he have the face to meet his ancestors after his death?

The place he came to this time was also in a very dangerous place in the Central Plains. A powerful human immortal once slept here and even expelled him.

If it wasn't difficult for the other party to get out, he might have died here.

"Daoyou Chen is here. Ji Nantian of the Ji family wants to see you."

Within the crack in the void, Ji Nantian sent out another voice message.

And this time, just like before, no response was received. After thinking it over again and again, Ji Nantian decided to break in and take a look. If this trip did not yield any results,

He really had to follow Ji Wenhao's previous suggestion and transfer part of Ji's assets first.

However, when Ji Nantian entered the secret realm, the scene he saw shocked him beyond words, because this secret realm had obviously experienced a shocking war.

The entire secret realm was nearly destroyed, and was even showing signs of collapse.

"Who did this?"

Ji Nantian's face was full of surprise and doubt.

This immortal named Chen was no ordinary man. He even competed with Taizu for supremacy over the world. However, due to various reasons, he lost to Taizu by one wrong move.

But even so, Taizu at that time could not kill this man. He could only make a gentleman's agreement with him that he would not be allowed to rebel again during his lifetime.

This was an old monster who was even comparable to a Confucian sage in the past, but looking at the current situation, he seems to have fallen. Let's see when the war will begin.

It didn't even last more than a year.

At this moment, Ji Nantian's heart was shrouded in a layer of haze. He always felt that in this chaotic world, there might be some forces pushing things secretly. In an instant, he thought of a person.

The leader of the Qingtian Sect. Duan Yuntian!
Thinking of this, his mood became even more solemn.

However, he still wanted to visit all the dangerous places where old monsters were suspected to be alive, in order to verify the uneasy speculation in his heart.

The second stop.

He came to an isolated island outside the East China Sea, which was once the retreat of an old monster. But the result this time was different.

Because everything here seemed to have been moved away, leaving only an empty secret place.

There was no battle, no death, but a mysterious disappearance.
"What happened?"

Ji Nantian's face looked extremely ugly.

I even felt like someone was targeting me.

Could it be that all the hopes of the Ji family would be in vain?

If that's the case.

What can he use to stop the rebels Jiang Che and Duan Yuntian? With a heavy heart, Ji Nantian left the island and traveled thousands of miles to Cangzhou, one of the four northern states. Here, there lived a powerful man who had stirred up the turmoil a thousand years ago.

He is called the Old Ancestor Kuruo. He has cultivated supernatural powers and is full of vitality.

Even when he came here a hundred years ago, he did not sense the other party's fall. He even sensed a strong vitality, which made the entire mountain range seem to be spread by that power.

Forced into the winter frost, a place full of life was left behind.

At that time, he knew that this old ancestor Ku Rong was not dead, and was not only alive and well, but seemed to be able to live for a long time. He was also the only one who helped him along the way besides the Confucian sage.

The biggest hope.

however.

When Ji Nantian forcibly tore the secret realm apart and broke in, he discovered that the ancestor Ku Rong seemed to have disappeared mysteriously, and from the situation shown, it seemed that he had been gone for some time.

"It's over!"

Ji Nantian's mood completely hit rock bottom.

The confidence I had before leaving Beijing completely vanished at this moment.

Ji Nantian couldn't help but sigh:
"It really is God's will to destroy my Ji clan."

"The wheel of fate, the change of dynasties, it's all a cycle. What's the matter, do you, the Ji family, really want to pass on your legacy for eternity?" Suddenly, a scornful laugh came from all directions of heaven and earth.

It seemed to be mocking Ji Nantian's arrogance.

"Ok?"

Ji Nantian's face suddenly changed, and he urged his spiritual sense to cover the entire secret realm. Then, his eyes fixed on an inconspicuous green grass next to a bluestone somewhere in the secret realm.

I couldn't help but ask:
“But Senior Ku Rong?”

A green light suddenly flowed above the grass, and then a short figure five feet tall slowly emerged, holding a black cane and with a long beard reaching the ground. He looked very old, but his black hair and beard contained a lot of vitality.

However, the figure that appeared was rather illusory.

"Why did you come to see me this time?"

Ancestor Ku Rong revealed his transformed body and stared at Ji Nantian with an indifferent expression, acknowledging his identity.

His appearance undoubtedly gave Ji Nantian great hope, and he quickly said:

"I am here to ask you to come out and become the national teacher of our Great Zhou."

"It would be fine if your great ancestor came to invite me, but you are not qualified enough. Moreover, a dynasty that is about to collapse has no appeal to me."

Patriarch Ku Rong revealed the current court situation in one sentence.

But Ji Nantian was not discouraged and said bluntly:
“The current chaotic world is indeed disadvantageous to our Great Zhou, but this is just the turmoil of the dynasty. With the foundation of the court, it is not impossible to restore order to the world.

What's more, I came here with the utmost sincerity. My Great Zhou has been established for hundreds of years, with a profound foundation and endless natural treasures. As long as you want it, everything I have in my Great Zhou can be given to you as a reward."

The Great Zhou Dynasty, which has been established for more than 600 years, has a profound foundation that no other force in the world can match. It's a pity that it is difficult to build up a true strong man with resources.

This is why the entire Great Zhou has fallen into the current situation where no one is available.

"I want to be the emperor, are you willing to give it to me?"

Patriarch Ku Rong said calmly.

“As long as the world can be settled, when the world is at peace, even if we have to give one or two states to you to help you found a country, our Great Zhou will not be reluctant to do so.” Ji Nantian said in a deep voice.

The previous few setbacks had completely shattered his confidence. Now he was willing to agree to any condition as long as the person was willing to help.

Patriarch Ku Rong chuckled, then asked in a serious tone:

“More than a year ago, a mysterious strong man came here and wanted to attack me. He even mastered the rules of space. If it weren’t for my extraordinary means, I would have been defeated long ago.

At that time, he left me a message, asking me to stay away from the world in peace and not to disrupt the world without authorization. Do you know who this person is, Ji family? "

"Mysterious strong man? Space rules?"

Ji Nantian's face changed instantly, and he immediately thought of the fallen Fellow Daoist Chen and the strong man who disappeared on the island, and he couldn't help feeling a little panic in his heart.

Could it be that someone was secretly pushing for the downfall of the Great Zhou?
If this is true, then this person's strength has probably reached a terrifying level.

Space rules
As the ancestor of a country, who has inherited the top heritage for thousands of years, how could he not know what rules mean? He has comprehended the existence of the power of rules and is almost at the top of this world.

Only half a step away from becoming an immortal.

Even the great ancestor of the Ji family was at this level.

As for the rules of space, they are even more terrifying.

Among all things in the universe, space is king.

The rules of space are almost one of the most top-notch rules. Those who have comprehended them can escape calmly even if they encounter great danger.

If there really is a powerful person who has comprehended the rules of space and is secretly pushing for the demise of the Great Zhou, it would be extremely terrifying for the current imperial court.

It was so terrifying that he couldn't even think of resisting.

But then, he changed his mind and suddenly looked at the smiling Old Ancestor Ku Rong, an existence that even the strong ones who had mastered the rules of space could not do anything to him.

How powerful is it?
In an instant, he thought of some key points.

This old ancestor Ku Rong must also be a great sage who has comprehended the rules and a land immortal.

"Reporting to the senior, I really don't know. Do you remember what this person looks like? Maybe I can make some guesses." Ji Nantian asked respectfully.

Patriarch Ku Rong narrowed his eyes and shook his head:
"That person's figure and face are hidden by space. Even the old man and woman don't know what he looks like. How can we know what he looks like?"

"In today's world, the most likely strong people who control the rules are only the Buddha Burning Dust Bodhisattva and the Blue Sky Sect's Duan Yuntian. Perhaps, it is one of these two people."

Ji Nantian expressed his speculation.

At the same time, he was more inclined towards Duan Yuntian.

After all, the Qingtian Sect has been a great enemy of the imperial court since its establishment.

The only thing that puzzled him was, if Duan Yuntian was really that powerful, why did he have to hide it? After all, he felt that even Ji Chengdao could not be his opponent if he mastered the power of rules.

He is fully capable of destroying half of the Great Zhou Dynasty by himself.

"Burning dust. Cutting off the sky."

Patriarch Ku Rong looked thoughtful, as if he was also guessing the identity of that person.

It’s a pity that this kind of thing cannot be easily guessed. Only after another fight can he sense the opponent’s breath.

“Senior, this person’s intentions are unclear, and he may have a big conspiracy. If we let him go, there may be great terror in the future. I hope that you can help my Ji family stabilize the world.

In this way, perhaps this person's plan might fail."

Ji Nantian quickly advised. (End of this chapter)
