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

For several days, Jiang Che was immersed in the land of gentleness. After being cleansed by the women, the feeling of fatigue in his body was almost gone, and he returned to his former vigorous state.

then.

The first thing Jiang Che did was to contact Feng Wuji.

Jiang Che had always kept the sacrifice from the Tai Shang Ba Jing Palace in mind. Fortunately, Feng Wuji did not bring bad news this time, so he personally took action.

The Tai Shang Ba Jing Palace still gave face and handed over the Tai Qing Ling Yuan.

now.

The other party is on his way back.

Jiang Che was not idle either. He flashed and came straight to the sky above the royal city, overlooking the land below. The dragon vein he obtained from the Northern Barbarian King's Court had now been placed under the imperial city.

Previously, Jiang Che extracted the dragon vein of the Great Zhou as a sacrifice, and then rearranged the dragon vein. However, the arranged dragon vein was very small, less than two feet, and could not generate much power of national destiny.

But now, with the suppression of the dragon vein that is not inferior to the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Che feels that the national fortune derived from it in the future will definitely be enough for him to use. Now he just comes to check and confirm that it is correct.

Seeing that the dragon veins were rapidly merging with the earth veins, Jiang Che nodded with satisfaction.

It is basically impossible for him to collect all the sacrifices in a short period of time. As for the other two kinds of sacrifices, there is not even a trace of them, let alone getting them.

We can only place our hopes in the cave of Fuling Mountain.

But if we want to improve our combat effectiveness, it is entirely possible.

That means becoming emperor.

Now, what he was mobilizing was the national destiny left over from the Great Zhou Dynasty, which he could only mobilize by borrowing the Emperor's Sword. However, with the demise of the Great Zhou and the severance of the dragon veins, the power of this national destiny began to gradually fade.

After several major wars, the remaining national fortune could hardly sustain a few more battles.

He must plan ahead.

Becoming an emperor is the best choice.

As long as he becomes emperor, he will be the master of the dynasty. After being recognized by Heaven, he will be able to mobilize tremendous divine power, just like Emperor Taizu of Zhou, who also mobilized a lot of national power to achieve his supreme reputation.

With his strength, once he becomes emperor, his strength will surely make another leap.

He didn't do this before because he was afraid that he might be suppressed after becoming emperor. This would not be in line with his ideas. After all, the realm of cultivation was what he was pursuing.

However, in the past few days, Jiang Che has read countless ancient books. It seems that there will only be blessings after becoming emperor. As for the so-called suppression, it may only be because of the Ji family.

As for the exact reason, Jiang Che actually hasn't figured it out yet.

There is no record about this in the secret books left by the Ji family. In order to find out, Jiang Che feels that only by finding two people can the truth be revealed.

One is Ji Chengdao, the God King who faked his death in Tianyuan.

The other is a Confucian saint who lives in seclusion in Shenghai City.

Jiang Che had ignored them intentionally or unintentionally before because he didn't want any accidents to happen. As long as these two people remained safe, there wouldn't be too much turmoil.

But now, Jiang Che felt that he already had the strength to face these two people head-on, so he must go and give them a try.

After the trip is successful, once everything is confirmed to be correct, it will be time for him to ascend the throne and become emperor.

The reason why he dared to go was not only because he already had the ability to protect himself, but also because there was no conflict between him, Ji Chengdao and the Confucian Sage, especially Ji Chengdao.
Strictly speaking, he had received many favors from the other party, and he had not repaid the favor with evil. Now, except for those members of the former royal family who were still against him, he treated the rest well.

Moreover, Jiang Che felt that the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty might have been part of Ji Chengdao's plan. The two had no conflict, but rather, they had a common enemy.

Today, his spiritual realm is almost unified. Apart from the two rivals, the Northern Barbarian Temple and the Qingtian Sect, he has no other enemies. Naturally, his attention will be focused on the demon realm.

Judging from what Ji Chengdao and Rusheng had done before, it was obvious that the two of them also viewed the Demon Realm as a scourge and there was a possibility of forming an alliance.

Standing above the imperial city, Jiang Che pondered for a moment and decided to go there immediately. He left a few messages and disappeared into the void in the blink of an eye.

On the coast of the East China Sea, Shenghai City.

This was not Jiang Che's first time coming here, but he had been here only a few times. The first time was when he participated in the Battle of the Holy Sea. It was also in this battle that Jiang Che emerged among the heroes of the world.

The second time was when he was on his way to the True Dragon Secret Realm and passed by here. The third time was when the God King of Backer Mountain took him to Tianyuan. The fourth time was when he met the National Master Yaoyue.

And every time Jiang Che comes here, his strength will change drastically.

This time too.

Today's Jiang Che is already a truly powerful man standing at the top of the world. Ordinary human immortals cannot escape for a moment in his hands. Only human immortals who follow the rules are his biggest enemies.

As far as he knew, Xiang Yuan, the Lord of Shenghai City, had already broken through to the human immortal realm. However, the gap in strength between the two sides was still very obvious.

This time when he appeared, Jiang Che did not hide anything. When he arrived in Shenghai City, he took the initiative to reveal a trace of his aura. Then, he stood there with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.

He knew that someone would come to greet him soon.

as predicted.

Just a few breaths later, ripples appeared in the void and a handsome figure walked out.

"Xiang has met King Wu."

Xiang Yuan clasped his fists and bowed, looking at Jiang Che with a solemn and complicated look in his eyes. In fact, he and Jiang Che did not have many interactions and had only met a few times.

The first time was the Battle of Shenghai City. At that time, Jiang Che was just a rising genius, but to him, he was still just a young man. It was only because he performed so well that he caught his attention.

The second time was when Ji Chengdao brought him here. At that time, Jiang Che had already achieved the realm of a Venerable, so he had to treat him with courtesy and even as an equal. But this time was different.

Jiang Che has far surpassed him in both strength and status.

Although Xiang Yuan had lived in Shenghai City for a long time and had not come out, Shenghai City was the top force in the world and a city of martial arts, so all kinds of news spread very quickly. He naturally knew about the great things Jiang Che had accomplished in both the north and the south.

He first pacified the Witch God Temple and razed southern Xinjiang, then rushed thousands of miles to the north to provide assistance. In the two battles, he defeated hundreds of thousands of Northern Barbarian cavalry and even killed the Northern Barbarian Khan Hu Yuanlie in battle.

Such strength made him look up to her.

Such an achievement cannot be found in anyone else throughout history.

Now Jiang Che has surveyed the troubles in the north and south, wiped out the Buddhist Leiyin Temple, and unified the twelve states in the Central Plains. He has become the de facto master of Shenzhou, and even the master of the spiritual realm.

Even the master thought highly of Jiang Che and repeatedly praised him for having the qualities of a true immortal.

"Brother Xiang, you are too polite. There is no need to be so formal between you and me." Jiang Che acted very friendly. Although Xiang Yuan had never helped him, he had never targeted him either.

It can be regarded as one of the rare neutral forces in this spiritual realm.

On the premise that there are no conflicts of interest, Jiang Che also hopes to make friends with him and the Confucian sage behind him.

"King Wu, are you here to visit me, sir?"

Xiang Yuan chuckled and spoke directly without further ado.

With his current qualifications, he is not qualified to invite Jiang Che to come in person. Only the master can allow a leader like the King of Wu to come.

"Can I see you?"

Jiang Che asked in a deep voice.

"King Wu, just come with me." If it was anyone else, Xiang Yuan would naturally refuse him. After all, his teacher had previously instructed him not to see outsiders. But if it was Jiang Che, there was no way he could refuse.

He also knew the horror of the power of rules. Although Jiang Che had not yet reached the state of human immortality, he had a record of killing human immortals with rules. He was the strongest person in the world.

Even though they were on the same level as his husband, he couldn't and shouldn't refuse such people.

"Thank you."

On the cape cliff.

The Confucian sage in white stretched his back, then sat cross-legged and opened his eyes. His eyes were so deep that they seemed to contain endless galaxies. His whole body had an extraordinary aura.

It's like an old immortal who has been born.

This was Jiang Che’s first impression of the Confucian Sage. At the same time, he also sensed a hint of dangerous aura from the other party. It was obvious that the Confucian Sage had definitely comprehended the power of rules!
"Sir, King Wu has arrived."

Xiang Yuan bowed.

Jiang Che took a step forward and bowed:
"Junior Jiang Che greets Senior Confucian Saint."

"The Confucian saints are a thing of the past. If you don't mind me, you can just call me sir."

The Confucian sage looked Jiang Che up and down with a smile in his eyes.

"gentlemen."

Jiang Che nodded slightly.

"Come, how about playing a game of chess with me?"

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Senior. I'm not very good at chess."

“Haha, the world is like a chessboard and all living beings are like chess pieces. Since you can pacify the troubled times, you must be an excellent chess player. There’s no need to be so modest.” As the Confucian sage finished speaking, the desk in front of him changed and turned into a chessboard.

Seeing this, Jiang Che no longer hesitated and refused, and walked forward and knelt on the mat.

"You are the guest, you go first."

"it is good."

Jiang Che made the first move, placing a piece at Tianyuan, and Rusheng followed closely behind. In just a short moment, the two of them had almost filled up half of the chessboard without any communication during the period.

It was not until a moment later that the Confucian sage said:
"There are countless people who can play chess with me in this world, but you are still the first one who can be as brave and aggressive as before. Perhaps it is because of this that you can rebuild the country and unify the Central Plains in such a short period of time."

"Senior, you are too kind."

"What do you want to ask?"

After playing chess for a short while, he saw some of Jiang Che's thoughts. He did not hide it and asked him directly, as if he had treated him as a person of the same level.

Now Jiang Che is no longer a chess piece, but has jumped out of the chess game and become the chess player.

"I came here to ask you, sir, whether becoming an emperor will lead to suppression from the heavens?" Jiang Che said in a deep voice.

"You want to be emperor?"

The Confucian sage replied casually.

Xiang Yuan on the side narrowed his pupils, but did not say much. After all, Jiang Che now had enough qualifications and had even become the de facto emperor of Central Plains.

All that's missing is a name.

"Do you think it's appropriate, sir?"

Jiang Che asked rhetorically.

The Confucian Sage looked at Jiang Che and laughed:
“In terms of strength, you have already reached the level of a saint, and your combat power is comparable to that of a rule-based immortal. Not to mention someone who can suppress you, it would be difficult to even find a few people in this world who can rival you.

In terms of achievements, when the world was in chaos, you took less than a year to quell the chaos, so that the people did not suffer too much from the war. You also pacified the Baiyue in the south and conquered the grasslands in the north.

If you were not in this world, I really don’t know how many people would be emperors and kings. If even you are not qualified to be an emperor, then no one else in this world would be qualified.”

Jiang Che smiled when he heard this. Although there was no arrogance in his eyes, he did agree with the words of the Confucian saint.

If he had not put down the chaos in a very short period of time, the current situation would have been a chaos in the world, with the world divided into four directions: east, west, south, and north, and then the Baiyue and northern barbarians would have invaded.

The Central Plains entered a dark age.

These achievements cannot be erased.

Although rebellion was not a legitimate act for him, everyone in the world knew that it was the imperial court that was incompetent and he was forced to rebel.

Apart from this, what he did was truly impeccable.

"You don't have to worry about what you have. The reason why the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty were suppressed is mainly because Emperor Taizu of Zhou overused the power of heaven.

This caused the way of heaven to backfire on the bloodline of his descendants, but this was not permanent. In fact, if you did not rebel, there would be no suppression when the next generation of emperors took the throne.

Since you are not of the Ji clan, you don't need to worry at all."

The Confucian sage spoke slowly and explained it to Jiang Che.

After hearing these words, Jiang Che finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had had this idea before, he was ultimately unable to confirm it. Now he was more confident.

Become the emperor! Become the emperor!
It’s time to proclaim yourself emperor and establish a dynasty.

"Thank you sir for clarifying my doubts."

"This is not a secret. You will know it sooner or later. No need to thank me."

"The juniors still have some questions."

"Go ahead."

"Sir, do you know where the Ji Shen King is?"

Jiang Che suddenly asked in a serious tone.

He always felt that there was some secret between the Confucian sage and Ji Chengdao. After all, they had both sacrificed to Tianyuan.

"It seems that you have thought of it too."

The Confucian sage smiled calmly.

Xiang Yuan, who was listening at the side, was greatly shocked.

Ji Chengdao is not dead?
He sacrificed himself, but he didn’t die?
"After the battle in the capital, a power of King Ji Shen is sealed in this sword. It contains the power of rules. I believe he will not fall so easily." Jiang Che took out the Emperor's Sword and expressed some of his speculations.

Ji Chengdao, who controlled the power of rules, could not have died in the battle of Tianyuan. Even without the help of national destiny, he could have defeated the invading demon saint with the power of rules alone.

“In fact, I don’t know much about Ji Chengdao’s affairs, and I know nothing about what he did, but I can be sure that he is indeed not dead.

Now, he is most likely practicing in Tianyuan. From what I have seen, he is probably trying to become an immortal."

"Immortal!"

Jiang Che's eyes flashed when he heard that.
