Choosing a Wise Ruler

"Junior brother, this Yiyun is rather unsuitable."

Outside Yiyun's army, several Daoist Sect disciples frowned and exchanged uneasy glances.

"Yes, along the way, although this governor has a strong and well-equipped army, due to insufficient food supplies, he has killed many people to satisfy his hunger, and after attacking a city, he has allowed his soldiers to run rampant."

Although, many new emperors have done this before ascending the throne.

But one thing at a time.

The Daoist Sect community prepared to pray for his well-being, but given the impending continuation of the dynasty's reign, this person was no longer their preferred choice.

I just saw in the city that countless people have been persecuted by them, and their daughters have been snatched away to be used for their amusement.

Recalling what they had just witnessed, the disciples of the Daoist Sect frowned deeply.

Having spent so long in seclusion on the mountain, witnessing such a thing truly made him unable to restrain the sharp sword in his hand.

Fortunately, after years of cultivating my mind, I was able to quickly calm down.

With the world divided in four directions, someone is needed to end the war, rebuild the dynasty, and unite the Human Race Karmic Fortune.

"Alright, let's observe for a while longer. The other two warlords have already sent their disciples, so let's stay here and observe one side further before making any conclusions."

After thinking it over, the Daoist Sect disciples decided to stay and observe the situation for a while longer.

Ancient Cloud Temple.

The fire in the enormous Pill Furnace had already risen.

Even before getting close, one could already feel the intense heat of the Pill Furnace.

"Go in."

The Daoist Qianji glanced at the snow ferret spirit beside him.

Whether or not to go in is entirely up to the other person.

The ferret spirit's face was pale at this moment, but upon hearing this, it did not hesitate at all, immediately transformed into its original form, and entered the Pill Furnace.

Seeing the ferret spirit act this way, Qingyun and the others watching from the side all had a flicker of interest in their eyes.

The next moment, the ferret spirit was seen inside, its skin turning bright red and all its fur burned off.

Even so, the ferret spirit remained completely silent, enduring the refining fire within.

Upon seeing this, the Daoist priests' expressions shifted slightly, but after leaving Minglian to guard the area, they all left one by one.

"Gentlemen, the crucial question now is how to choose a new emperor. With the world still unsettled, the decision of this new emperor is of paramount importance."

The group returned to the main hall and began to discuss the matter.

As mentioned before, they also need to begin searching for a new emperor on Earth.

To ensure that the chosen person can truly ensure the continuation of the dynasty, one must also pay close attention to their character.

"Just now, a disciple from the sect reported that none of the three disciples were quite suitable candidates. However, the Prefect of Guyuan Commandery, who was below these three, was originally a good candidate, but unfortunately, he has already lost his chance to compete for the position."

Master Qingyun then spoke.

Upon hearing this, all the Daoists present turned serious.

What if there isn't a suitable candidate?

For a moment, everyone in the main hall fell silent.

"If that doesn't work, what about Yuanqing Prefecture? I've heard that even under these circumstances, Yuanqing Prefecture was not affected by the war. They had stockpiled food early on, and the people are now living in peace and prosperity."

After thinking for a moment, Daoist Zhong couldn't help but set his sights on Yuanqing Prefecture.

To be honest, the foreign guests from Yuanqing Prefecture seem to fit their criteria quite well.

"The foreign guests from Yuanqing Prefecture are quite suitable, but they don't seem to enjoy war. So when the Great Jin Dynasty was destroyed, they made it clear that they didn't want to get involved."

"Among the foreign visitors, martial arts practitioners were everywhere, which made the three warlords somewhat wary, so none of them dared to take action against a Xiao Xiao like Yuanqing Prefecture."

The disciples under their tutelage had gathered a considerable amount of information while out in the field, and thus had gained some understanding of the various factions.

"How about we have our fortune told?"

After some thought, the Daoist Qianji realized that none of the three feudal lords were suitable. Finding such a wise ruler in the vast sea of people would be far too difficult.

If that's the case, it would be better to have a divination done.

If there is a divination result, it's good to go and find the person.

If not, they will have to put in some effort to find servants.

"Very well, this humble Daoist is skilled in this art, so I will cast a divination. Qianji Daoist Qianji, you are skilled in Astral Divination Technique, so let us both divine together and see where this wise ruler will fall."

The two hit it off immediately and prepared to begin the divination.

The Daoist Qianji, on the other hand, observed the stars at night to find this wise ruler.

Below Yingping Peak.

Fang Zelin looked at the Blessing Technique, and now he had almost fully grasped its essence.

Setting the bamboo slip aside, Fang Zelin was just wondering whether he should continue to study other Divine Ability.

Suddenly, his expression shifted slightly, and he looked ahead.

The next moment, a figure appeared, riding on the mist.

"Senior!"

Zhenke approached, and before she even got close, she bowed to Fang Zelin from afar.

After getting up, Zhenke looked around and then her eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"Is this where you cultivated, senior?"

It looked much less impressive than Jade Void Mountain.

Zhenke looked closely at the wooden house in front of her. Her first impression was that it was just a rural farmhouse.

There was a flock of chickens, a field, a medicinal herb garden, and a small vegetable patch on one side.

If anyone else came here, they probably wouldn't believe that this was Senior Fang's place of cultivation.

But after taking a few more glances, she felt that the place had gained an added charm.

"So it was you. Have you found that wise ruler?"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Fang Zelin immediately stood up.

Zhenke approached, her face full of anticipation. "Senior, our martial uncles observed the stars last night and discovered that the wise ruler is located fifty miles north of Yingping Peak."

"The matter of praying for blessings still needs to be presided over by our senior; therefore, our senior must personally go and meet this wise ruler."

Fifty miles away?

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Fifty li isn't far; it'll only take a few cups of tea to get there.

"Well then, I'll leave this matter to you. Did you fellow Daoists say anything else? What are the characteristics of that wise ruler?"

Fang Zelin agreed to the matter and then inquired about the details.

"My uncle said that if you see a person wearing a golden crown at noon tomorrow, he is a wise ruler."

Fang Zelin nodded knowingly upon hearing this, "I understand the matter. I will go and meet this wise ruler tomorrow."

The Blessing Technique definitely requires Fang Zelin to know this person.

Therefore, Fang Zelin will have to go and see him himself tomorrow.

After noting down the other person's appearance, you can then set up an altar and perform a ritual to pray for blessings.

"I have important matters to attend to, so I will visit you again the next day."

After delivering the message, Zhenke bowed to Fang Zelin and hurriedly left.

She was actually hoping to stay here a little longer and see where the seniors were cultivating.

Unfortunately, she still had orders from her master and could not linger.
