Grand Agriculture Official Zhao Xing and the Revival Plan!
Hearing Zhao Xing's words, Liu Tianning smiled slightly, "Are you ready?"
Zhao Xing sat down next to Liu Tianning: "Yes, I'm just waiting for the teacher to give me the final push." Liu Tianning, of course, knew what the 'final push' meant.
He took a document out of his pocket:
"I left Taihe County, entered Shangluo Academy, and then went to Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven. I made meritorious contributions on the Pacifying Barbarians Battlefield and became the vice dean of the Shangluo Academy. I rose all the way to the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture, which was inseparable from the help of certain benefactors."
"They provided me with great help at a crucial juncture in my life, and I promised to repay them if I achieve something in the future, without harming the foundation of the nation."
"Human relationships are governed by cause and effect, and this web of cause and effect reached its maximum before I became the Grand Minister of Agriculture."
"Before I became the Grand Minister of Agriculture, I was already the Prince of Taihe County and the Vice Dean of the Shangluo Academy. With the help of my elder brother and the academy, I have already repaid 90% of the favors I owed."
"Those who want money, I'll pay them out of my own pocket; those who want fame, I'll advocate for them; those who want promotion, I'll give them a chance to be recommended." Zhao Xing took the list and listened quietly.
When Liu Tianning was weak, he received a lot of help; now that he's strong, he has to repay it.
Those who wanted money, after Old Liu became the Prince of Taihe County and the vice dean of the Shangluo Academy, he acquired astronomical sums of money. He could easily repay the kindness he had shown when he was young.
For those who wish to become officials, the Great Zhou has a recommendation system and a system of Vassal. Even if Liu Tianning does not include someone in the Agriculture Official, he can still recommend them to serve as an official elsewhere.
Of course, for the vast majority of favors, Liu Tianning doesn't need to repay them personally; a member of the Liu Family can handle it. Supporters won't make excessive demands either, since their support is already relatively weak.
"There are still three groups on this list today."
"First, there are the three major academies: Shangluo, Lianhua, and Qingmu," Liu Tianning continued. Shangluo Academy, needless to say, is the sacred site of the Primordial Self School's Minister of Agriculture.
The Lotus Flower Academy was once the academy's top-tier institution, and the Green Wood Academy also has intricate connections with the Liu family. These three places form the core of the Self-Centered Agriculture faction. Liu Tianning, as the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is also the leader of the Self-Centered Agriculture faction.
His reward was to give the Minister of Agriculture of the Self-Centered Faction an important position. This was a continuous and inseparable relationship, impossible to simply quantify as a repayment of favors. It can be understood as Liu Tianning being the leader of these three sects, and then the three sects pushing Liu Tianning to compete for the position of Minister of Agriculture of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"If you were to become the Grand Minister of Agriculture, I think 90% of the deans, vice deans, and Classics Scholar would be convinced by you. The rest would only have concerns about political interests, but those would be easy to persuade," Liu Tianning said.
Zhao Xing nodded. He didn't need to worry too much about Agricultural Official's side. If Agricultural Official was the one supporting Old Liu, then he would definitely support him as well. "The second group: martial artists."
"Before I became the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and even before I was Third Grade, I had connections with the twelve ruling kings of the Military Realm." Twelve? Zhao Xing clicked his tongue in surprise. Back then, he thought that only Rahu King and Heaven Derivation King were supporters of Liu Tianning.
"Of course, some of them have passed away and have no direct descendants to entrust to me, such as Heaven Derivation King and Ling Shuang King." "After the New Splendor Era and Renewal Era, including Rahu King, there are only five still alive."
"Three of them are advocates of war. As long as Rahu King supports you, the others will support you just as they support me," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "Their demands should be territorial expansion and military supplies."
Liu Tianning nodded. "Not bad."
Once a ruler reaches the level of a monarch, they have no shortage of wealth and honor; what they pursue is territorial expansion! Only when the dynasty's territory is larger and its fortune stronger will their power grow stronger! This is precisely what the nobility group seeks to achieve.
If the Grand Minister of Agriculture is a proponent of peace, and the Six Ministries consistently oppose the war effort, the Military Realm will be powerless. Even a lack of clear stance won't suffice; if I don't trust you, how can I entrust you with the transport of military supplies?
Even the slightest problem in this kind of thing can lead to death.
Doing your best isn't enough; you have to do it exceptionally well.
Conversely, if Zhao Xing wanted to implement any policies, it would be difficult to do so without military support and cooperation. In this respect, it wouldn't be difficult for Zhao Xing to gain the support of the Military Realm.
He'll be even better at farming than Liu Tianning.
Looking at Zhao Xing's rise to power, his two trips to the Dragon Court and one trip to the ruins have all filled the national treasury to overflowing. With the support of the majority of three of the five ruling kings, that's enough.
"Thirdly, there are certain Ritual Cultivator and Mechanism Master, most of whom are non-officials and individuals who are close to the Agricultural Official. Their demands vary, and I have written down the specifics above."
Zhao Xing examined the situation closely and realized that the Noble Families families like Liu Tianning's, which had existed since the founding of the nation, possessed an incredibly vast network of connections. The demands of the third group were more complex.
There was a power struggle between Noble Families aristocratic families and the Ji Royal House. They feared that the Ji Royal House would treat them as slaves and arbitrarily decide their lives. Therefore, their demands were complex and changed at different times.
For example, during Emperor Jing's Eternal Governance Era and Great Governance Era, many people feared that Emperor Jing would destroy their families and cause their deaths.
Many powerful individuals would send a branch of their family to serve at the Shangluo Academy, hoping that Liu Tianning would protect their family line and ensure its continuation. Even if the family were wiped out, at least there would still be a branch of the family line, giving them hope of making a comeback.
Sure enough, the worries really came true. At the Shangluo Academy, there are several Teaching Dharma Master and Classics Scholar who originally came from royal Noble Families, but their elders, who were also kings, were executed by Emperor Jing. It was only thanks to Liu Tianning's intervention that they survived.
"Normally, if I went up after Old Liu died, I wouldn't have to take on these karmic ties. But if I want to gain the support of these people now, I have to take on Old Liu's karmic ties."
"This probably still won't put people at ease, after all, there's still a layer between us," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"I can convince many people that even if I retire, I will not forget them. However, if I want to put their minds at ease, you and I still need to have a Dao Debate Tournament," Liu Tianning said.
"Because I only discussed my supporters, and those who have no vested interests but oppose this matter out of concern about whether you can do it well. There will certainly be quite a few such people."
"Therefore you must prove that your path is stronger and better than mine, and that you can lead the Great Zhou to greater heights." Zhao Xing said sincerely, "Thank you for considering my situation, Master, I..."
"I know you don't covet power." Having known Zhao Xing for many years, Liu Tianning certainly understood Zhao Xing.
"With your power in the Dragon Court Ancient Land, and the inheritance from the extraterrestrial visitor, given your current level of cultivation, if you were to covet power, what difficulty would there be in establishing a kingdom in Extraterritorial Lands?"
"I was prepared for this a long time ago. I said back then that you would be stronger than me, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon," Liu Tianning said with emotion.
"His Majesty aims to accomplish the monumental feat of the ancient divine dynasty's ascension, and he has repeatedly mentioned this to us ministers over the years, frequently changing appointments." "Even the Left and Right Chancellors have been replaced."
"For nearly thirty years, I have explored the Sect Realm, where legends of great changes in the world and the revival of a great era also circulate." "Now, the Vitality Tide is spreading from the outside in, and the Great Zhou, as the ultimate beneficiary, will face enormous challenges." "I can no longer keep up with His Majesty's thinking. Many times, I have wavered on whether to fight or make peace."
"From the early days of Yuan Hunting Era until now, there are many areas where I have not done well. For example, in the twenty-ninth year of Yuan Hunting Era, a natural disaster occurred in the Star Ruins World, but I did not take it seriously at the time, thinking that it was just a desolate and sinful place. I did not send anyone to adjust the Heavenly Timing, and even suggested that His Majesty send people to withdraw the garrison."
military."
"But in the seventieth year of Yuan Hunting Era, the Star Ruins World actually regained its vitality and showed signs of transforming into a blessed land."
"However, our dynasty is not the only one who controls the entrance. It is precisely because of this forty years of neglect that most of the Star Ruins Land have been occupied by people from the Sect Realm..."
"In the 42nd year of Yuan Hunting Era, Kunyuan Academy submitted two proposals: one was to build a tunnel spanning Western Extreme Province and Ancient Yue Province, and the other was to build Ancient Earth Path connecting Yuan Pin Province Pinghai Province."
"At the time, I had limited energy, so I chose to prioritize the construction of tunnels in Western Extreme Province and Ancient Yue Province. In retrospect, Western Extreme Province didn't need another tunnel to transport military supplies. Instead, the Ancient Earth Path in Yuan Pin Province Pinghai Province were more advantageous."
"In the seventy-first year of Yuan Hunting Era, which was the year you left the pass, I was in the Triangle County of North Star Province..."
Zhao Xing listened quietly as Old Liu summarized the gains and losses of his years as Grand Minister of Agriculture.
Liu Tianning did a good job as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, not badly, just not well enough. He also cultivated top-level techniques in the areas of Heavenly Timing and Earthly Advantage Institute. With the appearance of the Qing Yuzi, there are now over a hundred more Ultimate Law for Heavenly Timing!
As a result, when fighting in various places, Liu Tianning could not keep up with the enemy's pace in terms of natural disasters, and could only rely heavily on Wang and Ling.
Secondly, with the arrival of the Vitality Tide, the world undergoes great changes and various drastic transformations. One must have a keen sense of Heavenly Timing. In comparison, his macro-level regulation based on the Great Observation of Heavenly Timing is slightly inadequate.
Furthermore, starting in the fifteenth year of the Yuan Hunting Era, Wu Emperor began to promote the concept of ascension among high-ranking officials, which was a new development that had not occurred during the reign of Emperor Jing.
It's fair to say that being the Grand Minister of Agriculture in such a turbulent era is no easy task. In his previous life, Wu Emperor changed the heads of the Six Ministries multiple times, and the Grand Minister of Agriculture changed more than once.
The job was changed four times in total. The first change was partly due to Liu Tianning's madness.
The replacement of Mi Fu with Li Guiyuan, and then with Peng Yurang for the third time, wasn't due to any uncontrollable factors; it was simply because they couldn't keep up with Wu Emperor's needs. This time, the two talked for a long time.
As Zhao Xing got up to leave under the Myriad Dao Tree, Liu Tianning suddenly spoke up:
"When I broke through to the Fate Palace Realm, I had a dream, a dream of a completely different destiny." Zhao Xing stopped and tilted his head to ask, "What dream?"
"In my dream, before I became the Grand Minister of Agriculture, I was completely unable to suppress the drawbacks of the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet." "In the world of my dream, I did not meet you in the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven."
"And towards the end of Emperor Jing's reign, You Ruo Peace Marriage was sent to a foreign land for a political marriage, but I missed my chance to snatch her back..."
"Later, I brought the princess back from the Blazing Light Royal Court, but she had become someone I didn't recognize. I felt like I was falling into a splitting madness... That was the most real dream I've ever had."
Zhao Xing laughed upon hearing this, "Teacher, no matter how real it is, it's still just a dream."
"Everyone says that those in the Fate Palace Realm can see their own destiny, but look at this, it's not accurate at all." Liu Tianning smiled and said, "Yes, it's just a dream."
The Dao Debate Tournament Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing was scheduled for the autumn of the eighty-first year of the Yuan Hunting Era, to be held at the Daoist temple in the Daoyuan Continent. It was a rare sight to see Grand Minister of Agriculture Liu Tianning and Vice Agriculture Minister Zhao Xing debating the Dao.
It immediately attracted a large crowd to watch.
One is the contemporary Grand Minister of Agriculture, the first Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Great Zhou to True Self Faction.
One was the youngest Vice Agriculture Minister, a "Sage of Agricultural Official" who had mastered all three schools of thought and received the Agricultural Official legacy from an extraterrestrial visitor on the Western Extremity Glacier. Their discussion sparked great interest.
To most people, this Dao Debate Tournament was devoid of He Zheng significance. However, a minority knew that this battle had ulterior motives.
Once Zhao Xing successfully defeats Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing will lead the Agricultural Official on the path to ascension.
Thanks to Wu Emperor's promotion, the idea of a dynasty's ascension to power had become very popular among the high-ranking civil and military officials of the Great Zhou.
As time went by, many changes proved that this was not just a rumor. Because in the eighty-first year of the Yuan Hunting Era, seven people of the highest rank had already been born.
It means truly entering that realm, rather than relying on the power of a divine artifact.
The idea of ascension to immortality has always existed, but when this path actually appeared, no one knew how to walk it.
But after decades of propaganda, officials have at least gotten used to one thing: times have changed, and anything is possible! The Purple God Ruins, multiple powerful figures breaking through to the Super First Rank, a change of prime minister... things that were rarely seen before have now happened, so changing the Grand Minister of Agriculture is nothing new.
The viewing area of the training ground is on Island Number One in the Heavenly Realm.
Ji Cheji sat on the large bed chair, browsing through the memorials from various places. At this moment, the Minister of Rites, Ji Wenchang, seeing him like this, subconsciously advised him again, "Your Majesty should pay attention to your demeanor."
Ji Che didn't even raise his head. "Grand Ritualist, I'm not attending to official duties right now, and I'm just relaxing in my everyday clothes. Do you still expect me to be mindful of my demeanor?" Grand Ritualist replied, "A ruler should not show his joy or anger on his face, nor express his likes or dislikes, nor let his sorrow or happiness show on his face. Only then can he be free from the whims of fate in the face of life and death."
"A ruler should maintain an air of mystery and dignity, and must never be dissolute..."
"Nonsense!" Ji Che rolled over. "Does a true monarch need to maintain his mystique and majesty in such a way?" Zongbo Ji Wenchang advised, "When the late emperor was alive, his subjects were subdued, and his power overwhelmed the world. There is no greater way for a monarch than this..."
Ji Che retorted, "The ultimate goal of such heretical doctrines is nothing more than to instill fear in the subjects; it is merely a superficial display of authority." "In the final analysis, it is because the late emperor's combat strength was not strong enough and his realm was not high enough that such methods were necessary."
Upon hearing such treasonous words, Ji Wenchang dared not speak further. He didn't care what Ji Che said, but he couldn't discuss Emperor Jing.
"My realm has already surpassed that of the late emperor. Why should I maintain my royal dignity through such means? My strength and realm are already the best form of authority! There is no need to display them with cumbersome formalities."
"You only mention the late emperor, why don't you say that the Grand Ancestor emperor was once one of the ministers?" Ji Wenchang opened his mouth, but had nothing to say. He could never refute Ji Che.
That is probably why he was able to hold the Grand Ritualist for so long.
Just then, the Imperial Historian Pang Chong handed over a memorial, a list of those invited to the Daoist discourse and ceremony. Ji Che glanced at it casually and asked Pang Chong, "Why isn't Prince Qin Feng of Beichen here?"
"Your Majesty," Pang Chong reported, "The officials of the North Star King replied that he is dealing with a natural disaster in the Tuoluo Realm and cannot come." "Can't come again?" Ji Che snorted. "Fine, if he doesn't want to come, he doesn't want to come."
"Go quickly and prepare a banquet. Make sure all the spectators can clearly see the upcoming Dao Debate Tournament." "Yes." Pang Chong obediently withdrew.
The Dao Debate Tournament was scheduled for the fifteenth of July, and Ji Che invited many ministers to watch. This day was specifically chosen because Ji Che even summoned the Underworld Official.
The statues of Li Boqian, Heavenly Yang True Lord, and Xuan Yuan Qingtian were now specially placed in a temple in the highest-ranking area of the Daoist temple. "Hiss~ Ha~"
Li Boqian, Fu Tianyang, and Xuan Yuan Qingtian Swallowing Clouds in the temple, while Zhao Xing was burning paper money below.
"Kid, so you're saying I really did see people at the Purple God Ruins back then, and three experts from beyond the heavens did?" Li Boqian asked. "Yes, you definitely weren't eliminated in the First Stage, but you don't remember the later rounds either," Zhao Xing said.
"Listen to this, listen to this!" Li Boqian pointed with the incense stick and said to the two people next to him, "That's right, how could I be so bad? I couldn't even pass the First Stage, but you two just wouldn't believe me."
Fu Tianyang ignored his unfilial disciple, but Xuan Yuan Qingtian was very accommodating: "As expected, Boqian was just unlucky." "Hehe, that's right, hiss~" Li Boqian said smugly.
Fu Tianyang, disapproving of his disciple's attitude, leaned down and stared at Zhao Xing: "Grand-disciple, is it really true? Don't just say that to comfort him." "Did Li Boqian really make it to the Second Stage?"
"Absolutely true." Zhao Xing nodded.
He wasn't lying; after receiving the inheritance, he learned a great deal about the Purple God Ruins.
Li Boqian did indeed enter the Purple God Ruins by accident back then, and he passed the First Stage each of the three paths of inheritance.
Therefore, based on his vague memory, he saw three deities, which were actually the Establish Dao Dharma Body of Qing Yuzi, Su Xianzi, and Pu Ta.
Why did they appear together? It's mainly because Old Li's memory was fuzzy, so he mistook them and thought the three of them appeared together.
In addition, there are not many historical figures involved in the exploration of the entire Purple God Ruins.
Qing Yuzi was also skilled in calculation; the relics he left behind were also set with specific opening time periods. They would only appear in the world when the primordial energy between heaven and earth reached a certain concentration.
Therefore, there were only a handful of twenty or thirty people who attempted to break through historical barriers, and they were concentrated in the last twenty thousand years.
"After I said it, I suddenly thought of combining the Magic Array, the underground tunnel method, and the Transformation of Seasons Art to create the Yuan Seal." "It seems that although my inherited memories were erased there, it wasn't entirely without gain."
"The changes are truly remarkable," Xuan Yuan Qingtian remarked. "According to Qing Yuzi's requirements for passing the test, only a little over a hundred years have passed since my death, yet over a hundred more Ultimate Law have appeared in the world, which is equivalent to one Ultimate Law being born every year."
"And now, Zhao Xing has grown to such a level that he can even engage in Dao Debate Tournament with Liu Tianning."
"Brother Xuanyuan, it's fortunate that we came down early," Li Boqian said. "If we had lived another two hundred years, we might have been left far behind by these younger generations."
"Yes, thank goodness he died young," Xuan Yuan Qingtian said cheerfully...
July 15th, noon.
Inside the arena, Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning entered the battle area together. The spectator area immediately fell silent after they entered.
Wang Tianzhi, Ling Tianchen, Qiu Yuanshan, Meng Kun, Ji Youtang, Zhuang Danian, Chu Qianqiu, and others all craned their necks, staring intently at the battlefield.
"They're here! They're here!" Meng Kun exclaimed excitedly. "They've entered!"
"The battle between Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning," Qiu Yuanshan watched intently, "I wonder who will win."
"No need to ask, it's Zhao Xing, of course!" Meng Kun said confidently. "If it's not him, I'll rip my head off and give it to you as a chamber pot!"
"Brother Meng, don't make any boastful claims," Qiu Yuanshan said in a low voice. "Although His Majesty has that intention, if Zhao Xing loses the Dao Debate Tournament, Zhao Xing will still have to wait for the next opportunity."
Where did the discussions about Zhao Xing being more suitable to be the Grand Minister of Agriculture originate in the past two years? They all came from the capital!
However, whether Zhao Xing can ultimately participate depends on whether he defeats Liu Tianning, and it must be a fair and square Liu Tianning.
If Liu Tianning were to hold back even slightly, it would be obvious to everyone. After all, in the Great Zhou, it's no longer just the Emperor who's at the Super First-Rank Realm. There are plenty of discerning people! "Now even Zhao Xing can challenge Liu Tianning," Wang Tianzhi sighed, looking down. "This really isn't my era."
He was well aware of the significance of this battle. If Zhao Xing won, Liu Tianning would voluntarily resign from his position as Grand Minister of Agriculture. Wu Emperor hadn't invited these ministers to watch for nothing; many already understood the implications of this battle.
"Zhao Xing hasn't had much time since receiving the inheritance, I wonder if he can pull it off." Ling Tianchen also stared down below. "He's made great progress, and Liu Tianning's progress hasn't stopped either."
If he had to choose between Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning, he would definitely lean towards Zhao Xing. However, based on their strengths, he still felt that Liu Tianning had a better chance of winning.
"A battle that will decide fate." Ji Si, holding the Star Fortune Strategy, also stared intently at the scene below. "Back then, my brother's deductions showed Zhao Xing in the Vitality Tide. Now, Zhao Xing is challenging Liu Tianning, which is probably the turning point for the Great Zhou."
"Destruction and rebirth. In the past, there were more signs of destruction, but now it's the opposite." Above the wind tunnel in the Heavenly Dojo.
Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning stood facing each other on opposite sides of the wind tunnel.
"Teacher, when you participated in the Dao Debate Tournament, you said you felt very lonely, and that Wang Tianzhi, Ling Tianchen, and Qiu Yuanshan couldn't put any pressure on you... Do you remember?"
Zhao Xing stared at Liu Tianning.
"Hahaha, of course I remember!" Liu Tianning laughed loudly. "That was said in the seventy-ninth year of Eternal Governance Era, when I was about to fight the eighth round of the Dao Debate Tournament, which is exactly one hundred years ago now."
"Now I'm here, are you ready?"
"Come on, I've been waiting for this moment for a hundred years!" A glint shone in Liu Tianning's eyes. "Let me see just how far you've come!" Whoosh~~
Suddenly, a gust of wind surged up inside the wind tunnel, the cyan wind almost tangible, obstructing their vision. At that very moment, the two moved simultaneously.
At that moment, five clones of Zhao Xing Ten Thousand Laws Clone on the east side of the wind tunnel. On the west side, Ten Thousand Laws Clone of Liu Tianning appeared, making a total of seven.
The two each occupied one side and immediately chose to use their Ten Thousand Laws Clone to fight against the Seven Great Avatars against the Five Great Avatars!
Liu Tianning's clone types are: Soul Devouring, Heavenly Meteor, Mysterious Fire, Yellow Springs, Earth, Duckweed, and Heavenly Traversal. Zhao Xing's clone types are: Soul Devouring, Blazing Fire Academy, Dragon Spirit, Cangwu, and Wind Traveler.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Their clones simultaneously crossed the wind tunnel, unleashing their domains and sweeping towards each other's clones. "Boom!!"
In the clash of domains, Zhao Xing's five clones were immediately forced to retreat.
Liu Tianning is at the eighth level of dual domains. His mastery of the Dao of the Way of the True Self has reached perfection in the Yin Yang True Self Scripture Third Layer, and his dual domains are in harmony with the Yin-Yang Great Dao.
The realm of Divine Radiance life, the realm of the Yellow Springs of death!
Zhao Xing's strongest Great Yin Violet Wind Domain was only at the Seventh Order. In the battle of domains, Zhao Xing was immediately at a disadvantage.
"Old ginger is spicier. Old Liu specializes in the Way of the True Self. In this life and death, yin and yang, when our domains come into contact, he far surpasses me. I was directly blasted away."
Zhao Xing checked the condition of his five avatars and found that, apart from Cangwu and the Soul Devouring Law Body, the other avatars were all showing abnormalities.
A blade of grass sprouted from the head of the Dragon Spirit Clone, the arm of the Blazing Fire Academy clone withered, and the Wind Walk clone exhibited both growth and death phenomena simultaneously. "We can't use them anymore." Zhao Xing immediately recalled the three clones, leaving only the Cangwu Dharma Body and the Soul Devouring Law Body.
The Cangwu Dharma Body, having merged with the true Azure Firmament Divine Tree and also possessing a life domain, was able to withstand the attack. As for the Soul Devouring Law Body, it was only able to survive under the protection of the Cangwu Dharma Body.
"A clone must be able to stand firm in the collision of domains before it can cast spells, and my advantage is the Soul Devouring Law Body."
Zhao Xing immediately changed his strategy, replacing all remaining battle clones with Soul Devouring Law Body, and continued to approach under the cover of the Azure Firmament Clone. "Soul Devouring Spear!" Zhao Xing's Soul Devouring clones immediately launched an attack.
The Soul Rule Realm grants the Soul Devouring Law Body unimaginable power.
As Zhao Xing and his Soul Devouring Law Body entered the casting range of Liu Tianning's seven avatars, he immediately activated the Soul Devouring Spear. "Star Shatter!" Liu Tianning's Soul Devouring Law Body unleashed the strongest killing move of the second level of the Derivation God Art.
The Mystic Rune Stars surged forth, crashing into the rows of black spears!
The clash of soul power and the explosion of the Mystic Rune Stars had no effect whatsoever; the black spear still pierced through. Liu Tianning's Soul Devouring Law Body died instantly and fell into the wind tunnel.
"It works really well." Zhao Xing smiled immediately.
Liu Tianning felt somewhat helpless; Zhao Xing was simply using his cultivation level to intimidate him.
He had not cultivated the third level of the Derivation God Art, nor was he at the Soul Realm of the Rule Realm. In terms of both soul strength and the level of secret techniques, he was no match for Zhao Xing.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
A series of black spears hurtled towards Liu Tianning's other clones. Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Liu Tianning Duckweed up, his wings flapping, and he began a large-scale retreat and evasion, attempting to escape Zhao Xing's Soul Devouring Spear's lock. Zhao Xing, in turn, used the Inches Away, Ends of Earth" technique to relentlessly pursue him.
With the support of the domain, the Duckweed speed is not slow, and Zhao Xing's "Inches Away, Ends of Earth to move within a small area is also exceptional.
No matter which clone Liu Tianning used, he attacked with his Soul Devouring Law Body. In such clashes, Liu Tianning was completely at a disadvantage.
"This is taking advantage of Liu Tianning not having mastered the Ultimate Soul Law. They only ever use this one trick." Rahu King could naturally sense Zhao Xing's soul level. One trick is all you need. That was true of the Straw Man Art in the past, and it's true of the straw doll technique in the current Straw Man Art conflict, just like with Zhao Xing's Soul Devouring Law Body.
The current situation is that Zhao Xing Xing's countless Soul Devouring Law Body, led by the Cangwu Avatar, are chasing after Liu Tianning and beating him up! However, the two are not simply chasing and fleeing.
As Liu Tianning dodged, the Pure Yuan Projection quietly unfolded, casting patches of shadow on the ground. In terms of the True Self Faction magic, Liu Tianning's "Heaven and Earth Planting Soldiers Scripture" was at a higher level than his "Soldier Envoy Divine Art".
If Liu Tianning summons the divine tree to fight, allowing Liu Tianning to complete the plant army combination spell, then they will be put on the defensive again. "Don't even think about it!" Zhao Xing also deployed Pure Yuan Projection while pursuing.
Wherever Liu Tianning's projection was, he immediately followed and covered it. "Buzz~~"
The shadows on the ground began to distort wildly.
Whenever something tries to break through the soil, it is suppressed by a shadowy mountain. On the Pure Yuan Projection, Zhao Xing completely defeats Liu Tianning!
"His Pure Yuan Projection has gotten stronger again?" Liu Tianning looked down in utter astonishment. The projections on the ground struggled, but couldn't get up.
In the True Self Faction, he actually lost through the Pure Yuan Projection, and lost so thoroughly!
"I condensed my Dao body with the Spirit Mountain True Intent, and the Pure Origin Soil within my body is suppressed by a ten-thousand-meter-high Spirit Mountain. I also nurtured the mountain for many years during my Heavenly Luck Realm period. How could I allow anyone to project their Pure Yuan Projection in front of me with such thickness and weight?"
"Even if you are Liu Tianning, I will still suppress you!" Shadows continued to fall from Zhao Xing's body. The two were extremely fast, and in just a quarter of an hour, the entire duel area was covered in shadow.
Seventy percent of them were occupied by Zhao Xing, with only thirty percent being Liu Tianning's projection, and even that was being suppressed. "Dragon Spirit Bamboo, Blazing Fire Lotus, appear!"
Two incredibly strange plants suddenly appeared in the training ground.
"Hahaha, Liu Tianning actually failed to summon Plant Soldier in front of Zhao Xing. Instead, Zhao Xing summoned them first." Li Boqian laughed immediately.
"In the internal strife of the True Self Faction, excluding the Ten Thousand Laws Clone Technique, whoever summons Plant Soldier first wins." Xuan Yuan Qingtian pointed to the sky. "Zhao Xing also possesses the Ultimate Law of Heavenly Timing, while Liu Tianning's weakness lies in the fact that his sect lacks Ultimate Law."
During Zhao Xing's pursuit, the sky was already filled with clouds, and the Ultimate Law Yun Tian Dao was poised to unleash its power.
"The True Self Faction doesn't have Ultimate Law, but don't forget that Liu Tianning also passed Qing Yuzi's First Stage." Fu Tianyang said calmly, "An eighth-order Life and Death Domain, when paired with any Ultimate Law, is a deadly move. It's too early to talk about the outcome now."
After suppressing Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing immediately began to use the Ultimate Law of Heavenly Timing to increase his chances of victory. Yun Tian Dao and the Wind of Annihilation each devoured five hundred of Liu Tianning's clones.
However, at that moment, the clone in the Layered Cloud Realm broke out and appeared above Zhao Xing Xing's main body.
"You were too careless!" Liu Tianning's long hair flew wildly, his aura astonishing. "Do you think you're the only one who knows the Ultimate Law? The Ultimate Third-Turn Layered Cloud Realm can't even trap me!"
At this moment, five hundred clones flew out from the clouds, all surrounded by nine gusts of Astral Wind, Astral Wind were shaped like dragons, one black and one white.
Zhao Xing unleashed his Ultimate Cloud Art in the sky, tearing open hundreds of large holes, turning the clouds gray and making them look as if they were leaking air.
"Old Liu has comprehended the ' Void Wind ' and also grasped the Ultimate Wind Art." Zhao Xing was shocked. "His Ultimate Wind Art has two variations, one yin and one yang, superimposed with the domain of life and death. Its power is incredibly strong, at least reaching the power of the ultimate fifth stage. On the contrary, it is absorbing my cloud energy!"
"Boom!" A black wind, like a black dragon, swept past Zhao Xing's main body. Five hundred clones were five hundred black dragons, five hundred Ultimate Wind Art!
Originally, Liu Tianning only wanted to trap Zhao Xing's true form, but at this moment he discovered that Zhao Xing's true form had shattered. "What?!" Liu Tianning was shocked, almost thinking that he had killed Zhao Xing.
Both the main body and the clone stopped moving at that moment and hurriedly landed. But the next second, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he realized that what had just shattered was just an ordinary Windwalker clone.
"Teacher, this is the sixth top-tier Straw Man Art I created. It can withstand ' Rule Leap.' It's even more perfect than the Divine Wood Leap, and it can complete the jump without the need for living plants."
Zhao Xing's voice rang out from afar.
"Substitute Straw Puppet?" Liu Tianning's eyes lit up. "After the Straw Man Art became self-powered, it finally has an eighth variation. This move can even be called the Ultimate Law of the True Self Faction."
"The Ultimate Wind Art I created has two forms, one yang and one yin. The Yang Wind is the Burning Wheel, and the Yin Wind is the Soaring Whirlwind," Liu Tianning introduced his ultimate move.
"Its power is maximized when I summon the Four Divine Trees and unleash the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Domain." "I call it Yellow Springs Soaring Wind, Divine Splendor Burning Wheel."
Upon hearing the name, Zhao Xing couldn't help but twitch his lips.
One of the sacred trees of the Old Liu is named Yellow Springs Guide, and Fuyao is an elegant name for the wind.
Divine Radiance is the Four Seasons Divine Splendor cultivated by Old Liu; Burning Wheel is the spell image of the Yang Wind Method, looking like a rolling wheel of wind and fire. Yellow Springs Soaring Wind is a single-target attack caused by the Divine Tree.
The Divine Splendor Burning Wheel —this must be a group attack.
No wonder Old Liu is so popular with girls; even his spell names are so artistic.
On the stands, Princess Youruo You Ruo, Ji Anlan, who was sitting with Ji Che, had her eyes turned into hearts, all of them looking at Liu Tianning. As for Zhao Xing, she completely ignored him.
"Teacher, let's unleash our true power. We both possess life domains, so there's no need to fear hurting each other." Zhao Xing stared at Liu Tianning. "Within the dojo, serious injuries are no problem!"
"Whoosh~" The wind tunnel drew air outwards, dispersing the clouds in the sky, and Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing returned to their initial opposing positions. "Alright!" Liu Tianning laughed, "Let's go!"
"Army is sown in heaven and earth, Yin-Yang Rotation!"
Liu Tianning split his body into two parts: one part went upwards and the other part went downwards.
Suddenly, the Pure Yuan Projection that Zhao Xing had suppressed on the ground disappeared. The ground became transparent, while a phantom image of the earth appeared in the sky.
The Yin-Yang Rotation, the six energies of heaven and earth, and the interchange of Heaven's Energy and Earth's Energy in the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Planting Soldiers Scripture. At this moment, Liu Tianning's Pure Yuan Projection appeared above!
"Buzz~"
The four divine trees are: the Spring Skyhorn Bamboo, the Summer Goldgod Pillar, the Autumn Yellow Springs Guide, and the Winter Snow Azure Firmament. Four illusory figures, each occupying a separate area.
"This is my true strength." Liu Tianning descended like Heavenly God, his seven clones appearing around the four divine trees, his voice echoing in the sky.
"Boom!" Four fiery wheels rolled in from the south. Divine Splendor Burning Wheel!
It was clearly Wind Art, yet it resembled the scorching summer sun, rolling like wheels, crushing everything in its path, almost completely occupying the entire Heavenly-level training ground. At the same time, a black tornado blew in from the direction of the Yellow Springs Guide, annihilating Zhao Xing's clone.
Amplified by the dual eighth-order domains of life and death, the Wind Art seemed to place the entire world under Liu Tianning's control, with all living beings arising and perishing within it. This was the strongest technique Liu Tianning had developed in nearly a century!
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
Shattered, Zhao Xing's clones shattered one by one under this move.
Soon only the three figures of the original body, Cangwu, Soul Devouring remained in the center of the dojo.
"This is outrageous." Zhao Xing sighed as he looked at the apocalyptic state of this method. "I cured Liu Tianning, but I also created a powerful obstacle to my becoming the Grand Minister of Agriculture."
"Without the Purple God Ruins, today's battle would probably have been postponed for a long time."
Seeing his clones shatter without resistance, Zhao Xing also put away his Azure Firmament Clone and Soul Devouring Law Body. He closed his eyes, but the Three Souls within his Life Palace opened their eyes simultaneously.
"Old Liu Old Liu, you've managed to force me to unleash my full soul power; you should be proud of yourself!" "Three Gods Fate Palace, take them in!"
Within Zhao Xing's Sea of Consciousness, atop the Golden Mountain, his Three Souls— Heaven, Earth, and Man—seemed to have transformed into a black hole.
At that moment, Ji Che, who had been watching intently from inside the hall, suddenly opened his eyes wide, spilling the wine he was holding. His body continued drinking, but his soul vanished from the hall in an instant.
The next moment, Ji Che's soul appeared in the dojo.
Everything around them began to recede, and Liu Tianning's Pure Yuan Projection all returned to his main body, while the four divine trees vanished. All his clones also fell from the sky.
All the strange phenomena disappeared.
Ji Che instantly appeared before Zhao Xing, his expression serious. "What happened?" Zhao Xing's pupils were dark, but he regained his composure upon seeing Ji Che. With a wave of his hand, Liu Tianning's true form instantly appeared in his arms.
"Buzz~"
Zhao Xing's eyes flashed with Golden Light, and Liu Tianning's soul floated out of his eyes and returned to his body.
"I used my supernatural powers to forcibly capture his soul and trap it in my own Life Palace," Zhao Xing explained. "But he's fine now. He was just unconscious for eighty to eighty-one years of the Yuan Hunting Era. Zhao Xing didn't stay idle either and began to cultivate the secret techniques left behind by Su Xianzi."
Besides the Soul Heaven Vision, the other Minor Divine Ability is consolidating the Three Gods Fate Palace.
At that moment, Xing thought that if he used the Soul Devouring Spear, with the terrifying amplification ability of the Three Gods Fate Palace and his own soul strength at the Rule Realm, a full-force strike would probably kill Liu Tianning.
Therefore, he only developed the [Soul-Seizing] ability of the Three Gods Fate Palace, using the Three Gods Fate Palace to forcibly seize the enemy's soul! The Reincarnation enforcers responsible for balancing the Yin and Yang of the universe will basically possess this ability after a period of time once they have cultivated the Three Gods Fate Palace.
Ji Che looked into Liu Tianning's body and then breathed a sigh of relief.
In that instant, he felt Liu Tianning's soul completely vanish.
It was as if it had completely vanished, and even the Heavenly Soul residing in the temple and the Karma Soul wandering in the world could not sense it!
As the emperor of the Dynasty of Fate, Ji Che is now close to the Ascension Realm! He has a special connection with all his subjects, but just now, that connection vanished. "I almost thought you had killed Liu Tianning!" Ji Che said. "I was really startled."
"Hiss~" Liu Tianning woke up, clutching his head: "My head hurts so much, what just happened to me?" "Liu Tianning, how are you feeling?" Ji Che asked.
"Your Majesty?" Liu Tianning exclaimed in surprise, then stood up and recounted, "I think I suddenly found myself on a mountain of gold, and I think I saw Zhao Xing's appearance, but after that I know nothing more."
Ji Che listened to Liu Tianning's account and, seeing that he was truly alright, finally felt relieved. His soul then returned to his body.
A sound echoed between heaven and earth.
"Zhao Xing wins the No. 1 Dao Debate Tournament!" The entire arena erupted in cheers.
"We won! Zhao Shi is mighty!"
"They actually won?! This is the first time in history!"
"Who said it was the first time? Didn't they say that Li Boqian also lost to Xu Xing when Grand Minister of Agriculture?" "Nonsense, that's all hearsay!"
"Who, who's speaking?"
Li Boqian's Yin Soul blew past, returning to the main hall with obvious displeasure. The two Agricultural Official who had just been conversing looked utterly bewildered. "Brother Wen, did you hear that sound just now?"
"I heard it, but then again, I don't think I heard it." "That's really strange."
"Holy crap! Zhao King is awesome!" On the viewing platform, Ye Yukong and Divine Luo King were sitting together.
"Brother Ye, can you be a little more refined?" Divine Luo King glanced at him disdainfully. "You're supposed to be the Vice Minister of Ministry of War, after all."
"You're just pretending to be something you're not," Ye Yukong said disdainfully. "When you lost the inheritance of the Mechanism Master to the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable, didn't you also curse him out?"
"..." Divine Luo King was speechless.
"Zhao Xing is awesome!" Chen Shijie, Xia Jing, and Long Xiao gathered together on the viewing platform, their expressions excited.
"Liu Tianning's invincible Golden Body has been shattered today." Long Xiao clenched his fist. "Since his debut, he has never been defeated in the dojo, his worst result being a draw. But today he was defeated by Zhao Xing. Exciting, so exciting!"
"Brother Chen, can you tell what the trick is?" Xia Jing asked.
"I can't tell." Chen Shijie is now at the Heavenly Luck Realm, but he still can't figure out how Zhao Xing did it just now.
"Who cares how he did it? That's awesome!" Long Xiao excitedly ruffled the hair of a little girl in front of him. "Sweetie, see that? That's Uncle Zhao!"
"Uncle Zhao is amazing!" The delicate little girl with two pink dragon horns excitedly waved her fist.
She blinked, then asked, "Father, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Xia, Uncle Chen, and you, who among the four of you is the most powerful?" "Uh, well," Long Xiao said, "Father and your Uncle Xia are both martial artists, which is incomparable to Agricultural Official."
"What about Uncle Chen?" the little girl asked, looking at Chen Shijie.
"Of course, your Uncle Zhao is more capable." Long Xiao glanced at Chen Shijie.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Shijie laughed. "Do you think I'd be angry if you told the truth?"
Xia Jing praised, "Old Chen has truly cultivated a certain air about his mountain-raising skills; he might even break through before me." "I've only been raising mountains for fifty years; Brother Xia, you flatter me," Chen Shijie shook his head.
Long Xiao then crept closer and asked, "By the way, have you guys heard anything about it?"
What's the rumor?
"After this battle, Zhao Xing will become the Grand Minister of Agriculture! Liu Tianning will find a reason to step down and give way to a more capable person."
"Huh? The rumors in the capital are true?" Xia Jing was taken aback. "Is that really true?"
"If it were really just speculation, the Ritual Cultivator would have already started a massive purge. I reckon His Majesty really does intend to do this," Long Xiao said.
"Wow, he's about to become the Grand Minister of Agriculture. I wonder when I can surpass Rahu King and become the Grand Commandant," Xia Jing said enviously.
"Brother Xia, wake up, it's daytime now."
"Hahaha."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the Spring She Day of the 82nd year of Yuan Hunting Era.
At the Spring Festival banquet, Wu Emperor, citing the late emperor's dying wish, bestowed a marriage upon Liu Tianning.
Ji Anlan, also known as Princess Youruo, the Eldest Princess of the Great Zhou, finally married Liu Tianning as she had wished.
In April, adjustments were made to the administration.
Wu Emperor removed Liu Tianning from his position as Grand Minister of Agriculture on the grounds that Liu Tianning needed to prepare for his marriage and to ensure the continuation of the Liu Family line.
Arrangements will be made after he has conceived and has children.
The position of Grand Minister of Agriculture was filled by Zhao Xing, the former Agriculture Minister!
Since there was absolutely no objection from the Agricultural Official, this order did not cause any dissatisfaction.
Those Time Faction and those Earthly Advantage Faction even celebrated their victory!
"Hahaha, Zhao Xing Grand Minister of Agriculture! Men, bring the music and dance!" Meng Kun danced with glee. "I'm going to have a good time today!"
"Dean, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"I'm having a good time on my own turf, what's wrong with that? Go and invite them!"
"Yes, yes."
The news spread like wildfire. The news of Zhao Xing's appointment as Grand Minister of Agriculture quickly reached the Sect Realm, formerly the World of Slumber.
Inside the mountain gate of the Profound Heaven Divine Sect, in a magnificent hall.
Upon receiving the news, Mist Walker was overjoyed. "Celestial Venerable Zhao has finally ascended to power! My decision was indeed correct!"
"His appointment as Grand Minister of Agriculture gives me even more credibility!"
After returning to the sect, Mist Walker was already acting as the sect leader.
He began to plan his defection to the Great Zhou, but if Zhao Xing was only the Agriculture Minister, then his defection would be less convincing.
"I must also quicken my pace, follow in the footsteps of the Celestial Venerable, and rapidly unify the opinions within the Divine Sect," the Mist Walker thought to himself.
Only because he was the Grand Minister of Agriculture did people believe that Zhao Xing could handle the entire Divine Sect's defection and had the ability to lead and settle them properly.
Southern Barbarians, Golden Feather Royal Court.
"Zhao Xing has become the Grand Minister of Agriculture?" Upon receiving this news, the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable couldn't help but mutter to himself, "He's really doing well. I haven't even become the Imperial Preceptor yet, but he's already become the Grand Minister of Agriculture."
"Sigh, the restrictions of this broken inheritance can't be lifted at all. It seems I'm really going to be in the same boat with him from now on."
The Purple Bone Celestial Venerable was somewhat melancholy. Before he received the inheritance, he worked for the Southern Barbarians, and after receiving the inheritance, he had to work for Zhao Xing.
"When will I no longer have to live under someone else's thumb, and be free to do as I please?"
In the 82nd year of the Yuan Hunting Era, Zhao Xing became the Grand Minister of Agriculture and immediately became very busy.
At his peak, he could create tens of thousands of clones, and at his lowest, he maintained a few thousand clones.
Liu Tianning was a diligent person. When he served as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, he did many things by himself because he felt that he could do them better than others.
"He only set up nine for the Lesser Agriculture Decree, how can that be acceptable?"
"If you do everything yourself, how can you expect your subordinates to be motivated? Knowing people and making good use of them is the King's Way." "I want to implement the Revival Plan, but one person can't handle it all."
The first thing Zhao Xing did upon taking office was to create the position of Lesser Agriculture Decree.
"During the reign of Wu Emperor, there were four Grand Minister of Agriculture: Liu Tianning, Mi Fu, Li Guiyuan, Peng Yurang."
"Peng Yurang wasn't even born yet; he was the Grand Minister of Agriculture during Wu Emperor's later years, but Li Guiyuan and Mi Fu were already high-ranking officials." "Wait, where's my Old Master Mi?"
Zhao Xing flipped through the roster and discovered that Mi Fu had disappeared from the list of high-ranking officials. "What's going on?"
He immediately went to look through Mi Fu's transfer records. What he saw shocked him.
Mi Fu has been demoted to Fifth Grade official again!
"Who, who did this!" Zhao Xing was furious. Grabbing the roster, he found Meng Kun waiting in the nearby office. "Lord Meng, who demoted Mi Fu? Was it the Right Chancellor Tong Wenzhuo, who is in charge of the Imperial Heavenly Official Bureau, who transferred him?"
"Doesn't he know that I recommended Mi Fu to the next Grand Minister of Agriculture?"
"He dares to accuse his subordinates of insubordination and slandering the government? Who does he think he is?"
Meng Kun took the transfer order and thought about it carefully, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, please calm down. Although this order was issued by Tong Wenzhuo, it is in accordance with His Majesty's decree."
"Your Majesty?" Zhao Xing was stunned.
"Mi Fu, I remember this man," Meng Kun recalled. "He was indeed very talented. He went with you to the Western Extreme Province and later participated in the great war against the Extraterritorial Alliance. He performed Divine Valor and was once promoted to the position of Military Sima Nong in the Central Army of the Divine Abode Army."
"After the ceasefire, he was transferred back to Zhu Ling Grotto Heaven in Western Extreme Province to farm, where he also performed very well. He was even awarded the title of Guanglu Dafu by His Majesty and promoted one rank."
"And then?" Zhao Xing asked.
"The problem lies with this Grand Master of Ceremonies," Meng Kun said. "Mi Fu had the opportunity to write to His Majesty and express his true feelings, and every now and then he would advise His Majesty not to launch a major attack."
He believed that since the Extraterritorial Alliance had already signed a peace treaty with the Great Zhou, the number of troops stationed in Western Extreme Province should remain the same, and military spending should be reduced to save money for the national treasury.
Zhao Xing: "..."
Well, Mi Fu has repeated the same mistakes he made in his previous life.
Although the events that occurred in the two reigns were different, the essence was the same: to cut Wu Emperor's military spending. Given the context of Western Extreme Province at the time, Mi Fu's discordant voice was extremely jarring.
I'm fighting a war here, and you keep saying you want to cut military spending, and you keep nagging and complaining. Do you really think you're something special?
Annoyed by this, Wu Emperor ordered Tong Wenzhuo, the Right Chancellor in charge of official promotions, to demote Mi Fu to the Fifth Grade rank. Wu Emperor had briefly spent time with Mi Fu in Star Ruins Land, and now he had demoted him to that same place.
Zhao Xing found it rather strange.
After going around in circles, Mi Fu ended up back in that wretched place.
"Old Master Mi is truly destined to be associated with this place," Zhao Xing remarked. "In which year was he removed from office?" Zhao Xing asked.
"The fifty-ninth year of Yuan Hunting Era." Meng Kun said.
"It's been over twenty years," Zhao Xing pondered. "In that case, I'll go to the palace and pay my respects to His Majesty."
"The Grand Minister of Agriculture seems to value this person highly?" Meng Kun said, "He is indeed capable, but he's also quite capable of causing trouble. Look, among the mistakes he's made is assaulting Ji Xuanqing, the Prefect of Xichang Prefecture. Haha, he even assaulted a member of the royal family. This is His Majesty's grand-nephew."
"Let's go ask first," Zhao Xing said.
Mi Fu was certainly capable. He was known as the patriarch of the common people who served as Agricultural Official. This title was no joke. He offended many people, and he had briefly served as Grand Minister of Agriculture in his previous life, which proved that his abilities were quite strong! Why not use him? Why would we use an incompetent official?
"More than twenty years have passed. Hopefully, Mi Fu, who has experienced ups and downs, can become more composed." "If nothing has changed, then we can only let him go down to settle down for a while longer."
Zhao Xing rushed into the palace, which was decorated with lanterns and streamers, filled with a joyous atmosphere, in preparation for the wedding of Princess Youruo and Liu Tianning. After having his attendants announce his arrival, Zhao Xing went to the Qian Palace to see Ji Che.
When the matter of Mi Fu was mentioned, Wu Emperor also remembered it.
"You mean Mi Fu? I met him when I was young and studying abroad. I thought his character of hating evil, being upright and incorruptible, and daring to speak out was very good."
Ji Che said, "But after I became emperor, I truly experienced what his superiors felt, and I really felt that his superiors were the victims."
"Over the past twenty years, Mi Dai must have changed. Perhaps we should transfer him back to the central command first. The Star Ruins Land have become the territory of the outside world. It would be dangerous to leave him there."
"Mi Fu is an expert in farming, and the agricultural policies I'm about to implement will also require his help," Mi Fu Zhao Xing said. Now that he has become the Grand Minister of Agriculture, he has unified the three factions and is about to begin strengthening their power.
Where to begin? Of course, we'll begin with the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique!
When the Vitality Tide appears, we'll bring Mi Dai back to study the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique together. When we announce it, it will undoubtedly be a bombshell! Enough to attract the attention of the world.
Junior Minister of Agriculture will benefit from this? Not only those True Self Faction, but also those who favor the Time Faction and the Earthly Advantage Faction, can try cultivating Pure Origin Soil. In just a few decades, the Great Zhou's farming capacity will increase exponentially, and the number of mobile granaries in the Military Realm will grow exponentially.
Of course, Zhao Xing's purpose was not limited to this. His ultimate goal was to use the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique to reverse the primordial energy into spiritual energy. This was an important part of Old Master Zhao's Revival Plan!
"Since you speak so highly of this man, then let's transfer him back to the capital for another look," Ji Che nodded. "Mi Fu is a minor matter; there's something else that's bothering me right now."
Zhao Xing asked, "What is it that troubles Your Majesty?"
"I want to promote all laws and enlighten the people, but since the early Yuan Hunting Era period, the Ministry of Ministry of Rites has not been very effective."
"However, it's not their fault. The war in the Western Extreme Province has lasted for so long, and now the Vitality Tide is approaching, bringing frequent natural disasters. The number of students in schools and academies across the country has dropped significantly."
"They just can't speed up even if they want to." Zhao Xing Ji Che's sigh.
Promoting all laws and enlightening the people is something every emperor must do.
For example, four of Emperor Jing's eight great achievements were things that emperors were required to do regularly. This is related to the overall growth of fortune and cannot be ignored.
After listening, Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I might have a solution." Ji Che sat up straight and replied seriously, "What brilliant plan do you have, my dear minister?"
Zhao Xing: "I have heard that among the Ten Great Divine Sects of ancient times, there is one called the Nightmare Sect, which possesses a treasure called ' One Dream World' and a cultivation technique called ' The Great Dream Spring and Autumn '..."
