Haotian froze. It was not that he had never considered such a possibility, but as far as he knew, the Shang Dynasty was merely part of a plan devised by several Saints.
Once that plan was completed, it would mean the Shang Dynasty's fate had run its course, followed by a change of dynasties.
Haotian pondered for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. "This Di Xin is truly suspicious. It is a rule that the Human King cannot become immortal, and teaching the Human King would be equivalent to angering several Saints at once."
Based on Haotian's current understanding, no one in the prehistoric world dared to be so bold.
But Haotian thought of another question. Where had Di Xin obtained his cultivation method?
"Alas, it seems there are still beings in this world beyond our ability to guess. In fact, there is something else that has piqued my curiosity!"
Yaochi's gaze shifted when she heard this. "Oh! Your Majesty, what else could possibly make you curious?"
Haotian smiled faintly. "I have observed this Di Xin. The cultivation technique he practices does not seem to be an immortal cultivation method. It seems more like something independent of every cultivation method that currently exists. If he truly has a master, I would really like to know who could create such a wondrous technique!"
Yaochi looked at Haotian's expression and chuckled. "Your Majesty does not seem worried about Di Xin?"
Haotian shook his head, then gave a helpless bitter smile. "Worried? How could I not be? The fate of heaven and earth is the foundation of every faction's development. If this dynasty is allowed to grow, the Heavenly Court will also be greatly affected!"
As the ruler of the Three Realms and king of the Heavenly Court, Haotian appeared to hold immense authority, yet he knew all too well how helpless his current situation was!
Though he was said to govern the Three Realms, the Saint sects—especially the Saints' disciples—included some whose strength had already approached his own, while others had even surpassed him. There was nothing he could do about it.
"Then you...?"
Yaochi looked at Haotian in surprise. At that moment, she saw a trace of helplessness in his eyes.
"But I believe those lofty Saints will be even more worried than we are. They will certainly resolve this trouble faster than us!"
Yaochi fell into thought. "Then we will simply stand by and do nothing?"
Haotian nodded. "The Saint sects are all immensely powerful now. Primordial Lord of Heaven's Chan Sect, Sect Master Tongtian's Interception Sect, and the Western Teachings of the two Saints Zhunti and Jieyin—every one of them is stronger than the Heavenly Court. Since they intend to act, it would be better for us not to interfere!"
Though he said so, a glint flashed through Haotian's eyes.
Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, Wen Zhong was organizing his men in drills within a military camp.
"Reporting to Grand Preceptor, two letters from the Great King. One orders the Grand Preceptor to hurry to the border and investigate a secret faction. The other requires the Grand Preceptor to read it personally."
At that moment, a soldier hurried over and handed the two letters to Wen Zhong.
A secret letter from the Great King!
Wen Zhong's gaze shifted. He commanded troops in one region and would not ordinarily be transferred lightly. But if he were to be transferred, it meant something major had happened!
With that thought, Wen Zhong snatched up the letters and hurried back to his tent!
He opened the letters and immediately began reading. When he finished, his face could not help but fill with shock.
"The new king has already reached the Golden Immortal realm! And the new king's goal is actually to establish a Sacred Dynasty!"
Grand Preceptor Wen was utterly loyal, and Di Xin had long known this. Thus, he had always regarded Grand Preceptor Wen as one of his trump cards!
This investigation was of paramount importance. Di Xin did not want any problems to arise, so he wrote a letter informing Wen Zhong of the general situation!
"Hmph! No matter what divine being you are, if you dare obstruct the rise of our human race, then even if I, Wen Zhong, die in battle, I will never let you succeed!"
Wen Zhong abruptly rose to his feet. Di Xin had already told him that the main purpose of these factions was to overthrow Great Shang and sever the human race's fate!
These matters were most likely the work of certain great powers, but those great powers could not possibly act personally. Therefore, Di Xin had ordered Wen Zhong that, if possible, he was to wipe out all these factions!
Those great powers were in the wrong to begin with, so if they suffered a loss this time, they would likely have nowhere to seek justice!
Wen Zhong slowly walked out of his tent and looked toward the soldiers nearby. "Order all generals to gather in my tent. Order the troops to be ready to depart for the border at any time!"
This time, we would fight for the human race!
Within the Chaoge palace, Di Xin nodded as he listened to his subordinate's report.
"So, Grand Preceptor has already begun moving toward the border, and the news from Li Jing's side is also becoming increasingly clear!"
The attendant nodded. "That is correct, Great King. However, Grand Preceptor Wen has also sent word that he fears the enemy may have reinforcements. If battle truly begins, we may suffer a disadvantage!"
Di Xin frowned at this. "That is indeed a problem. Tell him not to act rashly for now. First, ascertain the enemy's strength. If necessary, I will personally take action!"
A Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Experience Card
"It seems those two little fellows have been doing quite well lately. I wonder how Little White Dragon is doing!"
Although Chen Changsheng was in Changsheng Palace, he could receive the most direct feedback from every improvement Yang Jian and Di Xin made.
Regardless of whether the reward was great or small, he would always know what was happening.
Recently, Di Xin and Yang Jian's successive breakthroughs had also made him feel deeply gratified.
After all, the higher his realm rose, the more Spiritual Energy he required, and the more difficult further advancement naturally became.
But the higher his disciples' realms were, the greater the feedback he could obtain. His Twelve-petaled Great Luo Human Flower last time was the best example.
Now, Di Xin had just broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, while Yang Jian had just broken through to the Taiyi realm. Both were still stabilizing their cultivation, so it would likely be very difficult for them to improve again in the near future.
Therefore, Chen Changsheng very much wanted to know when Ao Lie, his third disciple, would break through.
Rumble!
