Barbarian Clan Invasion
Despite being called a celestial kingdom, the lives of ordinary people in Blazing Sun are actually no different from those in Yi Xuan's previous life in ancient times.
The Immortal Script, which has developed for countless years, appears incredibly brilliant, but in reality, it has negligible impact on ordinary people.
Yi Xuan even speculated that if it weren't for these cultivators, the lives of ordinary people might be much better!
A saying from a past life goes, "As long as Sage live, great thieves will never cease."
In truth, aren't so-called cultivators also not just great thieves?
They steal the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and the fortune of the world.
They might even steal the fruits of ordinary people's labor.
Although each household is only charged a hundred catties of "celestial rice" per year, it is no simple matter for an ordinary family.
Just like Old Man Liu's family, the land needed to grow 100 catties of immortal rice occupies more than half of their total land.
The remaining land could only produce enough ordinary grain for their family to barely survive.
Now, with the help of Prince Ning's students, Old Man Liu felt that his family's life seemed to have hope again.
Especially a few days ago, after her son's illness was cured by Prince Ning's student, the family's financial difficulties were greatly alleviated.
As a result, Old Man Liu became exceptionally enthusiastic about going to the fields every day.
Looking at the crops that had grown tall in the fields, a glimmer of hope would occasionally flash in his eyes.
This phenomenon spread throughout the entire village.
Almost all the villagers look forward to the harvest season.
Even the villagers who were initially skeptical began to waver as those around them improved the Seed.
In the end, they also improved half of their own Seed and planted them.
Students majoring in agronomy, medicine, and education travel throughout the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom, causing varying degrees of change in the villages across the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.
Zhuo Ning and Yi Xuan, aboard the Aerospace Mothership, naturally saw everything.
Although the actual operations were carried out by students from the Imperial University, Yi Xuan and Zhuo Ning were the two who benefited the most from the process.
For Yi Xuan, he collected all sorts of information through the robots carried by those students.
Whether it's the world's crops, diseases, geography, or history.
The three types of robots are collecting information about the world from almost every aspect.
Yi Xuan's understanding of the world also became increasingly profound.
But Zhuo Ning was concerned with something else entirely.
He saw many problems in the immortal kingdom from the experiences of these students.
His ordinary life strengthened his resolve to transform the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom into a second Xia Kingdom.
Compared to the results Yi Xuan and Zhuo Ning achieved with ordinary people, the progress on the Immortal Dynasty's side was not even slow.
There's absolutely no progress!
Just as Yi Xuan predicted, those forces that remained neutral were not so easily won over.
After three months, there has been almost no progress.
Fortunately, Zhuo Ning was confident in Yi Xuan's plans, so she wasn't particularly disappointed by the situation there.
But his subordinates were in a complete mess.
You see, if there's no progress like this, Zhuo Ning's chances of competing for the Immortal Emperor will become increasingly slim.
The nation's National Fortune, which they had only recently managed to secure, might be slipping further and further away from them by the other princes.
While Zhuo Ning and the others were busy, the other princes were not idle either.
Zhuo Ning, who had made great contributions, had long been the object of attention for the other princes.
Just like the fact that the Imperial students appeared in the Immortal Kingdom, it didn't take long for the news to reach the ears of the other princes.
They had initially thought that Zhuo Ning would continue to expand his advantages after the National Fortune improved.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Ning did not try to win over the powerful cultivators or top forces of the Immortal Kingdom.
Instead, they focus on farmers who are of no use to them.
What good is that?
In the eyes of cultivators, ordinary people in the immortal kingdom are nothing more than ants, let alone farmers.
What use would it be if all the peasants in the entire immortal kingdom were gathered together? They wouldn't be as useful as a Nascent Soul.
Therefore, the other princes gradually stopped paying attention to Zhuo Ning's behavior.
In their view, Zhuo Ning's actions had already demonstrated that he had voluntarily given up the fight for the throne.
The other princes naturally wouldn't devote their limited attention to Zhuo Ning.
Because they had more important things to deal with at that moment!
The Barbarian Clan have invaded!
For nearly a thousand years, the Barbarian Clan located in the northern Barbarian Domain have lived in peace with the Human Clan.
But no one knew why they would suddenly launch an attack at this time.
Three of the five immortal kingdoms directly border the Barbarian Domain, making them natural targets for the Barbarian Clan's attacks.
The Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom happens to be among them.
In any other situation, everyone in the immortal kingdom would be living in fear.
Those were Barbarian Clan!
Having fought against the Human Clan for countless years, their overall strength is no less than that of the Sea Clan.
According to the historical records of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom, the kingdom paid a heavy price almost every time it resisted Barbarian Clan invasions.
This time, however, the people of the Immortal Dynasty were filled with indignation.
For the princes vying for the throne, wasn't this a golden opportunity to seize the fate of the National Fortune?
Almost the instant the Immortal Emperor issued the order to resist the Barbarian Clan, all the princes except Zhuo Ning immediately expressed their willingness to fight.
But in fact, the Immortal Emperor would have preferred to give this opportunity to Zhuo Ning.
But after waiting for a long time, Zhuo Ning did not react at all, standing among the princes as if he were asleep.
Meanwhile, the ministers who had sided with Prince Ning were extremely anxious.
They were all desperately trying to give Prince Ning a meaningful look.
But Zhuo Ning had no intention of paying them any attention.
He made no comment until the Immortal Emperor had arranged everything and announced the end of court.
The other princes naturally noticed this situation and were overjoyed!
Soon enough, all the princes obeyed the Immortal Emperor's arrangements and took up their respective posts.
Unsurprisingly, the eldest prince became the main force in resisting the Barbarian Clan.
The other princes were also sent to the north to defend areas with less pressure.
Of the several contenders for the throne, only Zhuo Ning and the Fourth Prince did not go to the front lines.
Because Zhuo Ning did not request permission, the Immortal Emperor did not assign him any tasks.
The fourth prince was kept in the court by the Immortal Emperor because of his outstanding political abilities, and he ruled in place of the Immortal Emperor.
Logically speaking, at this time, the Immortal Emperor should naturally be stationed in the Immortal Dynasty, or even personally lead the expedition!
But his health no longer allowed him to do so, which is why he entrusted everything to his sons.
This can be considered the final test for these princes!
The Immortal Emperor could already foresee his impending death.
Not only him, but almost everyone in the court had realized this.
The Immortal Emperor's Five Decays of a Celestial Person have reached their final stage.
His face already showed a visible signs of death!
