"The fact that your Ancient Emperor Divine Hall, built in your ancestral land of the Central Plains, could gain the approval of the ancient emperor's Fortune is far beyond my expectations!"
Wang Hao stood in front of the gate of the Yin-Yang Divine Temple on Mount Song, feigning shock.
"These nine Ancient Emperor Divine Hall are said to have been built by a descendant of an Ancient Emperor Bloodline. It is also said that on the day of their completion, the blood of a powerful individual with the Solar Physique was used as a guiding force."
Standing on Zhao Dachui's shoulders, Wang Xiufang simply recounted what she knew, and only now did she feel that the nine Ancient Emperor Divine Hall had become much more harmonious.
A few months ago, she made a special trip to visit these Ancient Emperor Divine Hall. At the time, she felt very awkward, as if a dwarf had entered the kingdom of giants.
These Ancient Emperor Divine Hall were simply too enormous; compared to their hundreds of feet in size, the human figures were far too insignificant.
But now, looking at it from Kaido's perspective, it actually looks much better.
The temple, a hundred feet in size, was a perfect match for the physiques of the two men, the Whitebeard man and his companion.
The problem wasn't with the Ancient Emperor Divine Hall Ancient Emperor Divine Hall, but rather that it wasn't designed for the people of the Central Plains.
Are you a descendant of the King of Shang?
Just then, a figure rushed over and stopped in front of Wang Hao. Ignoring his own panting, the figure hurriedly asked Wang Hao for his identity.
This person was none other than the Wheel-Turning King!
Upon receiving intelligence that a ten-zhang-tall giant had arrived in the Central Plains, the Old Zhu Household immediately realized that this must be the Shang Dynasty remnant that Zhu Yanzu had mentioned, and that the other party must have cultivated the Blood Essence Martial Path.
In other words, the people Zhu Yanzu had found had arrived. How could they miss such a great opportunity? So they rushed over immediately.
Unfortunately, the giant ball fish was moving too fast, and they only just caught up with it now.
"Your bloodline is very similar to Zhu Yanzu's; you must be a relative of his!"
Looking down at the Wheel-Turning King standing on the ground, Wang Hao nodded as if confirming something and said, "My Newgate, you can call me Whitebeard. I have been invited to the Central Plains to restart the Blood Essence Martial Path."
"It is an honor for Your Excellency to grace the Central Plains with your presence. I, Central Plains Wheel-Turning King, have prepared food, wine, and lodging in the capital. Your Excellency, with your Whitebeard, may stay with us for some time."
Suppressing his elation, Wheel-Turning King extended an invitation to Wang Hao.
As early as when they learned that Zhu Yanzu was able to invite the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, they began to build a huge palace to accommodate any powerful remnants of the Shang Dynasty who might come.
That palace was built according to the legendary physique of the King of Shang, large enough to house a figure ten zhang tall.
Although I had heard that practitioners of Blood Essence Martial Path were enormous, I was still incredibly shocked when I actually saw them.
That's a full ten zhang tall!
Not far away, in the Yellow River, lay a colossal creature over a hundred feet long; the impact of its presence on him was simply unimaginable.
"I'll go take a look after I finish paying my respects to the ancient emperor!"
After casually remarking, Wang Hao strode into the Ancient Emperor Divine Hall.
At the same time, Wang Hao used his innate Innate Divine Sense to activate the Divine Sense clone in the Yin-Yang Divine Temple in front of him, causing it to produce various strange phenomena, as if in response to his arrival.
This further convinced Wheel-Turning King and the others who followed them inside that the two were indeed descendants of the King of Shang who had sailed out to sea. Only such pure inheritors of the Ancient Emperor Bloodline Lineage could cause such a phenomenon to occur in the ancient royal statue.
Having confirmed this, Wheel-Turning King was overjoyed, while the other martial arts experts who had followed him had varying expressions, with most of them looking rather gloomy.
Wang Hao made no attempt to conceal his presence along the way, which naturally led to him being discovered by spies from many factions, and those powerful figures were bound to be uneasy.
In addition, there are the powerful figures who have been cultivating in seclusion at the Ancient Emperor Divine Hall, making this place a gathering place for nearly half of the powerful figures from the Central Plains.
As for the rest, they had long since gone abroad to the Western Regions and Tianzhu to plunder the cultural heritage of those places, in exchange for the unique martial arts techniques of overseas martial arts worlds, and were not currently in the Central Plains.
The faces of the remaining powerful figures were all grim, even those from the Taoist School sect who had always maintained good relations with the Old Zhu Household.
Although they are allies, it's not good if an ally becomes too powerful.
It was already incredibly impressive that the Old Zhu Household produced Zhu Yanzu, but then an even more monstrous Innate Sacred Physique Dao Embryo, Wang Hao, emerged, single-handedly defeating the strongest foundation of Confucian School.
Now, a powerful figure from the remnants of the King of Shang has been invited, and a Blood Essence Martial Path has emerged.
They had recently heard some rumors about Blood Essence Martial Path, which claimed to be able to rival the Qi Refining Qi Refinement Martial Dao of ancient times, and even to have once gained the upper hand.
Now, the successor of Blood Essence Martial Path has reappeared, and even intends to pass on Blood Essence Martial Path to the Da Ming royal family.
It is conceivable that the Da Ming imperial family will inevitably rise again and become even more powerful.
Afterwards, Zhu Yanzu will also make a big move to prepare for the Human Dao Fortune.
They originally intended to band together to resist the Old Zhu Household and preserve their own interests.
But now it seems that might be a bit difficult!
Who knows how powerful the Old Zhu Household would become if they obtained the Blood Essence Martial Path? Although it's not impossible for them to inherit the Blood Essence Martial Path, they could only get the basic chapters at most, and the true core would be out of the question.
This makes things even more complicated!
Wang Hao went through the motions of worshipping the statues of the Ten Ancient Emperors, causing various strange phenomena, before finally heading to the capital.
This time it was much faster, since this section of the Yellow River bed had already been dredged and cleared, so Little Blue only needed to travel quickly.
With the help of water control abilities, Little Blue's speed soared to near the speed of sound, and she arrived in the capital in no time.
The capital's docks had been cordoned off by the imperial guards dispatched by the Old Zhu Household, and a large group of people stood at the front waiting, with Comrade Old Zhu himself leading the way.
There was no other way; this powerful figure from the King of Shang's remnants was far too important to the Old Zhu Household, and they couldn't afford to be careless. Moreover, the other party was powerful enough that Old Zhu wouldn't be foolish enough to put on airs in front of such a strong person, so he personally came to greet him.
Seeing the two figures riding on a giant sea beast from afar, even though they already knew everything from intelligence, they still felt incredibly surprised when they saw it with their own eyes.
"It seems that Yanzu was right after all!"
Zhu Yuanzhang became even more certain of the words of his grandson Zhu Yanzu, who had been granted the privilege of marrying Zhu Yuanzhang: Blood Essence Martial Path could indeed cultivate a person's physique to a terrifying level of ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).
The power that such a physique could possess must be terrifying; a single blow would likely be enough to reduce the capital to ruins.
Once he understood this, Old Zhu was filled with excitement, because this powerful inheritance of Blood Essence Martial Path would soon belong to the Old Zhu Household!
As the founding Great Emperor of a nation, and an old man who rose from a cowherd to build the Old Zhu Household into what it is today, there is nothing more joyful than seeing his descendants become powerful.
"What sins did your Great Ming Dynasty commit to deserve such terrible Karmic Cause and Effect?"
Jumping onto the dock, Wang Hao looked at the Wheel-Turning King, who was about to leap off Little Blue, with a strange expression.
He had just activated the Treasure-Seeking Function with Xiao Mengmeng, but discovered that there were actually eight Confucian School patriarchs among the crowd.
Since these eight old guys were there, he naturally had to try and fool them a bit.
These words caused Wheel-Turning King, who was about to leap off Little Blue, to stumble and nearly fall into the water. Old Zhu, who was about to speak, also froze.
At the same time, everyone present turned their attention to the eight Confucian School patriarchs who were mixed in with the crowd, their eyes filled with resentment and disdain!
The eight Confucian School patriarchs' faces first darkened, then began to turn green, while they felt immense resentment towards their ancestors.
Do you think their ancestors were out of their minds? How did they manage to turn Confucian School into such a mess? Everyone despises and fears them; they're practically like Nezumi in the street.
Sensing the cold gazes from Zhu Yuanzhang and other high-ranking Old Zhu Household, the eight Confucian School patriarchs wisely slipped away from the crowd.
They had no choice. Ever since they witnessed the Peerless Sword Saint unleash a sword aura storm powerful enough to rival the might of heaven, they were completely convinced. They were afraid that he might suddenly remember his grudge against the Confucian School and unleash that terrifying Confucian School aura storm upon them.
So they've been hiding in the capital all this time, afraid that the Peerless Sword Saint will come seeking revenge.
This is, after all, the Old Zhu Household's territory. With the Imperial Lord Zhu Yanzu's influence, it's unlikely that the Peerless Sword Saint will start a fight here.
"Who are those eight people? How could they bear such a powerful Karmic Cause and Effect? Even the Devil Sword slaves recorded in ancient texts are probably not as terrifying as them!"
Wang Hao watched the eight Confucian School patriarchs depart, his expression a mixture of apprehension and curiosity.
When acting, you have to go all the way!
These words caused the eight Confucian School patriarchs, who hadn't gone far, to stumble and nearly fall to the ground, their faces turning even greener.
What the hell is this?!
"Those are Confucian School who have done many wrong things; ignore them!"
Wheel-Turning King steadied himself and explained to Wang Hao, his words carrying an undisguised sense of disdain.
He had long disliked those eight old men who refused to leave the capital. If it weren't for the fact that those eight old men possessed eight ancient swords and were only there under the guise of trading with the Old Zhu Household, he would have driven them out long ago.
These jinxes and jinxes are now avoided by everyone in the Central Plains; no one wants to come into contact with them, for fear of being tainted by their vast Karmic Cause and Effect.
"Is that so!"
Wang Hao nodded thoughtfully, and then said something that almost made the Old Zhu Household family collapse.
"Although those eight people took away a lot of Karmic Cause and Effect, the Karmic Cause and Effect of your Great Ming Dynasty is not small either. Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is a sign of the dynasty's decline and is about to erode the National Fortune."
"Your royal family still has a chance, but these court officials basically have the faces of ministers destined for a fallen nation. Is this really Zhu Yanzu's country?"
Comrade Old Zhu's face was now as black as the bottom of a pot, and so were the faces of Old Zhu Household's family, including Wheel-Turning King. They even looked at the court officials with a hint of murderous intent.
"..."
The innocent courtiers, caught in the crossfire, turned pale and were genuinely panicked.
They had heard a lot about what was happening in the martial arts world of the Central Plains recently, and originally thought it wouldn't affect them, but they still couldn't escape it.
They were well aware of their own situation; embezzlement and bribery were basic practices for them. While calling them ministers who brought about the downfall of the country might be an exaggeration, it wasn't entirely unjust.
Therefore, they really couldn't refute this point.
