Worldly Wealth and Glory Were Coming
Having figured something out, his face turned pale, and he then sprayed a large amount of fragrance on himself.
He then put on two or three sachets, which he felt suppressed the stench, and only then did he feel he was ready before leading his ministers to the capital.
Among them were many ministers, including Duke of Zhou Dan, Mao Gongsui, Nangong Shi, and San Yisheng, all of whom were summoned.
After everything was prepared, the spirited Ji Chang sat in the magnificent carriage and led the group to find the great power, following Wu Ji's instructions.
Wu Ji led the way, while Ji Fa, riding a tall horse, addressed Ji Chang inside the sedan chair:
"Father, I wonder if what that person said is true or false?"
"They actually managed to catch koi carp by fishing in the river with a silver needle, without bait or hook?"
"No matter how I think about it, it seems a bit impossible. If it's fake, it means this person is just making a fuss. If it's real, they might actually be a reclusive master."
"I wonder if Father thinks this person is genuine or not?"
Marquis Ji Chang of the West, heard his son's words, he also sighed slightly.
"It should be right. Hopefully, this is the person we're looking for."
"Our Xiqi people have been lying low for generations, and after a hundred years, our national strength is not much weaker than that of the Yin Shang."
"It was originally a perfect opportunity to start a rebellion, but who knew that that damned tyrant would actually reactivate the Shang Kingdom."
"Now that the Yin Shang dynasty is enjoying immense fortune, we must act swiftly, or Xiqi will be in grave danger!"
As he spoke, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, sighed slightly.
"That tyrannical ruler is indeed quite capable. He has secretly gathered many powerful figures and even personally nurtured a Human Dao Saint. The situation is becoming increasingly unpredictable!"
"We must obtain that powerful being no matter what. A celestial being once instructed that obtaining that powerful being is equivalent to obtaining the help of all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens!"
"Let's hope that the sage's words are true!"
Then the two fell silent.
Marquis Ji Chang of the West sighed slightly, then spoke again.
"I'm afraid this guy will become too powerful to control."
Upon hearing this, Ji Fa outside was also taken aback.
He seemed to understand the meaning behind his father's words.
As a certain possibility came to mind, his face turned pale.
"Father, are you saying that after we used the power of those immortals, or even the power of Saint, to destroy the Yin Shang, it's possible that we could be held hostage by those immortals?"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, remained silent.
But the two of them were father and son, so they were of one mind.
They could both understand each other's concerns.
To think that Xiqi could destroy the Yin Shang was simply a pipe dream.
They all knew just how powerful the Yin Shang Dynasty had become.
It is entirely impossible for Xiqi to achieve a complete overthrow with its own strength alone.
In particular, the Yin Shang had a Human Dao Saint who was a being capable of rivaling the Yuanshi Tianzun.
But what if, after defeating the Yin Shang with the help of those immortals, their power becomes too great to control?
Wouldn't we be caught in a dilemma then?
For a moment, they both fell silent.
Marquis Ji Chang of the West, inside the carriage, had an extremely dark expression.
He had been imprisoned in Youli City for years, but he had witnessed all the changes that had taken place in Chaoge and the Yin Shang.
In just six or seven years, the Yin Shang had already reached an unimaginable level.
It could even be said that in just six or seven years, they surpassed the accumulation of Xiqi over hundreds of years.
It even exhibited a somewhat overwhelming development trend.
This situation terrified him.
In particular, Chaoge has been transformed into Human Race Holy Land by that incompetent ruler.
The unparalleled fortune of the Human Clan enveloped Chaoge.
If Xiqi were to rebel a few more years later, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream.
By then, the entire Xiqi will have become a joke.
Especially Marquis Ji Chang of the West, whose days are probably numbered.
The Old Man of the Antarctic Immortal was right; he had defiled his physical body, tainted it with things he shouldn't have, and his body reeked of a foul stench.
Even with the Fire Jujube given to him by the Antarctic Immortal, his days are probably numbered.
He has to act quickly, otherwise he might never get to that point.
The large and imposing procession quickly left Xiqi City and headed directly towards the banks of the Wei River.
The Wei River was originally one of the most famous rivers in the Primordial World. It is said that the widest part of the river was over a hundred miles wide, and the narrowest part was still tens of miles wide.
The source of the Wei River is Western Liang, and after flowing through the mighty Wei River, it eventually merges into the Yellow River Heavenly Vein!
According to Wu Ji's earlier words, the place where the self-proclaimed Daoist Flying Bear fished was actually on the banks of the Hidden Stream River.
Hidden Stream is a medium-sized tributary of the Wei River. Its water is clear and teeming with fish, making it almost a fisherman's paradise.
Many fishermen fish there and earn some money.
The vast and mighty army was naturally rushing towards that direction.
On this day, Jiang Ziya came to the huge rock as usual, sat cross-legged there, and began to fish.
Feeling somewhat bored from sitting for so long, he closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
Once you start cultivating, you lose your sense of time and don't know how much time has passed, as if you've sensed something.
He then opened his eyes and looked at the fishing rod in his hand.
At the end of the fishing line was a golden carp, about half the size of a person, tightly gripping the silver needle and refusing to let go.
Jiang Ziya was slightly surprised. He had come here to sit in meditation not to fish, but simply to cultivate.
Why did such a large golden carp bite the hook and refuse to let go?
Could something big be about to happen?
Jiang Ziya pondered for a long time, then stared intently at the golden carp.
This golden carp is about half a person's height and looks incredibly graceful.
Especially her eyes, which were extremely expressive and beautiful, seemed to hold some special emotions.
Its scales had long since lost their black color, turning instead gold and red.
His two long mustaches gave him a rather imposing appearance.
This is--------
Is this the posture of someone about to transform into a dragon?
Why would this magical creature actively bite the hook?
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Am I stupid, or are you stupid too?"
"Although I am fishing here, my intention is not with you. How could you be so foolish as to willingly take the bait?"
"In my opinion, there is some kind of fate between us. Since that's the case, I don't want to hurt you, after all, it's not easy for you to have cultivated to this level."
"I will release you today. You should remain hidden and focus on your cultivation, so that you may one day achieve enlightenment."
With that, he flicked his right hand, and the fishing rod was thrown up.
The golden carp, which was more than half a person's height, was also flung up.
Looking at the golden carp that landed at his feet, Jiang Ziya flicked his right hand slightly.
The fish's tightly closed mouth suddenly opened wide, and Jiang Ziya's silver needle flew out of its mouth.
Jiang Ziya glanced at the koi carp before him and smiled slightly.
Then he released the carp back into the river.
Several fishermen in the distance, seeing this scene, immediately beat their chests in frustration.
Such a big golden carp is a treasure!
They might have already become sentient.
They'd already caught it, so why did that old fool release it again?
Isn't that such a shame?
It's better if you don't give it to us.
The fishermen were all filled with remorse and regret.
Jiang Ziya, however, simply smiled.
How could these ordinary people possibly understand his realm of enlightenment?
He didn't care at all whether he caught a carp or not.
All they cared about were kings and nobles.
But when will the king and the noble take the bait?
We might have to wait a while longer.
However, being able to catch such a huge koi carp today is a very auspicious sign.
Perhaps the king and queen he longs for will soon find their way here.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya was in a good mood. He picked up the wine gourd at his waist, took two gulps, and then cast the fishhook back into the river.
But at this moment, he had lost the will to continue cultivating.
The sun shines brightly, the river ripples, and dappled sunlight filters through the clouds, creating a unique and beautiful scene.
Sitting on the rock, Jiang Ziya felt the warm sunshine and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
This is an auspicious sign; wealth and prosperity seem to be just around the corner.
