Regarding the fact that the Human Emperor Sword refused to admit him, Chi Yao didn't have any special thoughts.
After all, he didn't practice the Imperial Dao Kung Fu, and he didn't have the Dragon Qi in him, so he never followed the same path as the Human Emperor.
Besides, the position of Human Emperor has too many entanglements of cause and effect, so it’s not something you can just take over.
He is willing to contribute to the human race, but he does not want to bear such a heavy responsibility easily. Let’s leave this promising career to our cheap apprentice Zhao Heng!
With the Human Emperor Sword in hand, Chi Yao's Gu God clone seemed to have sent the Chi You flag, the Human Emperor Sword and other objects into the Nine Heavens body, and then turned into a stream of light and flew to the southern wilderness.
…
…
When Chi Yao was in seclusion in the ruins of Jiuchongtian, time in the outside world was also slowly passing by.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, things have been changing in the world.
On the one hand, there are endless young masters emerging in the arena, and the list of this generation can be said to be a gathering of elites. The top five heroes all have the ability to compete for the top spot at other times.
"Invisible Sword" He Jiu, "Da Luo Demon Girl" Gu Xiaosang, "Counting All the People" Wang Siyuan, "Absolute Sword Fairy" Jiang Zhiwei and so on.
Zhao Heng also made it into the top five with his nine-aperture cultivation, and was awarded the title of "Living True Dragon" by the Six Sects.
Not surprisingly, this title aroused great dissatisfaction between the two princes, the Crown Prince and the Prince of Jin, and included the fifth brother, who had always been a little transparent, into the ranks of his enemies.
And after Zhao Heng's development in the past few years, he is no longer the transparent person in the royal family of the divine capital who needs to be cautious in everything. Even if you don't count the Southern Wilderness Spark Sect, there are quite a few people who are optimistic about and invest in him. Although it is still not as good as the two royal brothers who have accumulated many years of accumulation and deep roots, they are no longer people who can be manipulated by others.
Suddenly, the overt and covert fighting between the three princes became the theme of the city. Perhaps this is what Emperor Zhao Mingyu of the Jin Dynasty wanted to see.
It was also at this moment that the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty announced that he would hold a Qionglin Banquet, inviting all the famous families and young talents to attend the banquet.
The mixture of fish and dragons added more fog to the capital.
…
…
The capital of gods, Duozi Lane.
After Zhao Heng became prosperous, he was not in a hurry to change his residence, and still kept the Wei Palace in this secluded place.
Back garden, in the purple bamboo forest.
"Master, you came in person?"
Zhao Heng looked at Chi Yao who suddenly appeared with some surprise, and saluted quickly.
"Oh, don't you still know the real purpose behind this Qionglin Banquet?"
The Gu God clone raised his eyebrows, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.
"This...couldn't it be that my father wants to give me a chance to openly compete with the Crown Prince and Prince Jin?"
Zhao Heng was a little excited when he said it. This is the father's love and care that he has longed for since he was a child!
"A fair fight?"
The Gu God clone sneered, "You don't think it's up to you or the royal family to choose the prince, do you?"
As mentioned before, in this world, the two major dynasties have a pattern of aristocratic families fighting against sects. The royal family is just a larger aristocratic family, and the emperor has to be restrained in every way.
There are many benefits to sitting on the throne, the most important of which is that in the name of the emperor, you can mobilize your human willpower to practice at will, which is of great benefit to the "Shocking Book" of magical skills passed down from generation to generation by the royal family!
Therefore, other aristocratic families definitely do not want a martial arts genius to ascend the throne in the first place, because they are afraid that he will use the special nature of the emperor's position to condense his body and break the delicate balance between the aristocratic family and the royal family.
Secondly, in addition to the emperor himself not being too strong, it is also necessary to investigate whether there is any shadow of sectarian forces behind him.
The aristocratic family and the sect are in a confrontational relationship. If they choose an emperor who loves the sect, it will be a disaster in the world.
】
In the end, there are conflicts of interests between the aristocratic families. Only the prince who can unite more people and serve the interests of more people can finally inherit the throne.
Among these conditions, Zhao Heng directly stepped on the two most critical red lines of first and second.
In terms of talent, he ranks fifth on others' list, and is even rated as qualified to top the previous list.
In terms of background, he has a Dharmakaya-level master, Master Xinghuo, who is well-established in the Miaohong sect.
As soon as these two items came out, they were immediately excluded by the family.
No matter who is elected to the top, it is impossible to choose him!
"But……"
After Zhao Heng learned this cruel truth, he was a little unwilling to accept it and asked, "The prince almost openly supports Buddhism and even said that he would establish a Buddhist kingdom on earth. It is said that King Jin is even involved with the Nine Paths of Evil... Aren't we all No chance?"
"Haha, no."
The Gu God clone waved his hand, "If nothing else happens, the prince really has no chance. After all, no one wants to see the Buddhist kingdom on earth. But the same cannot be said for King Jin. Even if he really colludes with the devil, it is not a big deal. Because the devil has never been able to come to the table, it is impossible to compete openly and openly with the family. From this aspect, you are the most vulnerable one. But!"
A turning point gave Zhao Heng a new light in his eyes.
"Blessings lie where misfortune lies; misfortunes lie where blessings lie."
The Gu God clone showed strong confidence in his brows, "Advantages and disadvantages are never static. The aristocratic families of Dajin are indeed afraid that someone will compete with them for profit, but if you can provide them with greater benefits, then there is nothing wrong with it. It’s negotiable.”
"The greater good?"
Zhao Heng was confused, what could he give them?
"The Northern Zhou Dynasty, the grasslands, the Western Regions...the Renaissance of the Middle Ages, the human race was at its peak. Is this pie big enough?"
The Gu God clone was talking eloquently.
Zhao Heng was stunned, and after a long while he stammered in response: "But, does Dajin have this ability? What can we do to make others believe it?"
"With this!"
The Gu God clone threw him a red-gold sword.
On the front of the sword, there are engraved images of the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers; on the back of the sword, there are immortals and demons bowing their heads, and a group of monsters prostrate. On the hilt of the sword, there are books about farming, fish and animal husbandry, and various aspects of the human race!
The Human Emperor Sword!
imitations of...
This is a scrap piece that Chi Yao picked up casually when he obtained the Human Emperor Sword from the Longtai Fire Pond.
Although it is a leftover material, it has been soaked in the Longtai Weapon Casting Pool for tens of thousands of years and has been with the Human Emperor Sword day and night. Its own material is enough to be used to create a divine weapon.
Chi Yao modified its appearance after imitating the Human Emperor Sword, and at the same time absorbed a breath from each of the Human Emperor Sword and Chi You Banner and poured it into it to create its current appearance.
It is not a real magic weapon because Chi Yao doesn't know how to cast it at all. However, due to the material and the aura blessing of the two peerless divine weapons from the other side, its power is not inferior to any human-immortal-level divine weapons, but it also has the ability to communicate with the Human Emperor Sword.
Of course, communication here is communication, whether or not the Human Emperor Sword will respond is another matter.
"This sword is called Xuanyuan. You have to understand it well. When you understand it, you can start what we just said."
The Gu God clone warned, "As for this time, it is your old father who wants to use the Qionghua Banquet and the fight between your brothers to deceive others, hide the truth, and try to add a Dharma Body to the royal family."
He had no intention of keeping the old emperor's secret secret at all.
"Ah? Is it the ancestor Wu Yan, or the King of Qin..." Zhao Heng was surprised.
The Zhao family in the divine capital currently has two strong men with a half-step Dharmakaya. One is called Zhao Wuyan, who was born many generations ago. He is extremely senior and is over one hundred and eighty years old. If he had not extended his lifespan in his early years, he would have already died. change. The other is the emperor's youngest uncle, King Zhao Jingshi of Qin, who has just turned eighty. It's just that Zhao Jingshi was defeated miserably at the hands of the magician Han Guang in the past. It is said that he left an irreparable spiritual shadow. He has been guarding the imperial mausoleum and tried to cut off the spiritual troubles. He has recently succeeded.
There are two half-step dharma bodies in charge. In addition to the Cui family of Pingjin, who has the human immortal Cui Qinghe, the Zhao family of the divine capital is the strongest in the second level.
"It doesn't matter who it is,"
The Gu God clone interrupted Zhao Heng's speculation, with a faint look in his eyes, "Do you hope they will succeed?"
"ah?"
Zhao Heng opened his mouth wide.
What does Master mean by this?
What does it mean that I hope or not that they will succeed?
Can a little prince like me be able to talk about such a big matter?
Seeing the cheap disciple stunned, Gu God's clone chuckled: "You should have some understanding of the current situation in the Jin Dynasty. The Cui family in Pingjin has Cui Qinghe, Shaolin has time to hear, and I, the Southern Wilderness, have the throne of the Zhao family. Can you sit comfortably?"
Zhao Heng immediately shook his head.
How can it be possible to be at ease?
It was supposed to be the strongest royal family in the Jin Dynasty, but it turned out that there were three Dharmakayas outside, but there were none at home. Who can be more reliable?
Especially among the three dharma bodies, two are members of the sect. Not only is the Zhao family unsteady, but even the other eight aristocratic families are not so sure.
Don't think that if Zhao Heng becomes a disciple, the royal family will treat Chi Yao and the Xinghuo Sect as one of their own.
Just look at their actions this time and you will know that they have no intention of revealing the inside story to Zhao Heng and Chi Yao!
Obviously you are treating them as outsiders!
Of course Zhao Heng also understood this and asked in a low voice: "So, my father has already received the support of the family?"
"of course not."
The Gu God clone smiled with some gloating, "In the eyes of Zhao, the three dharma bodies of Dajin are two sects, one family, and none of them belongs to themselves. But in the eyes of other families, I, the leader of Xinghuo Cult, can be regarded as half What about the royal dharma body? How could they agree to add another dharma body to the royal family?"
"Huh……"
Zhao Heng tasted the product carefully, and it seemed to be the reason.
No matter what Zhao thinks about it himself, in the eyes of outsiders, the Spark Cult Master who has accepted a prince as his disciple is obviously on the side of the royal family, at least half of it.
In this way, with one and a half sects, one aristocratic family, and half royal family, the number of Dharmakayas in Jin Dynasty is rare and perfect, and there is no need to make any changes at all.
"Master, don't you want to add another dharma body to the royal family?"
Zhao Heng asked in a low voice.
"I don't care how many dharma bodies there are in the royal family, or the balance of power between aristocratic families and sects. But,"
The Gu God clone said calmly, "Do you still remember what I told you? I want you to ascend the throne, command the Northern Expedition, bring the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the grasslands, the Western Regions and other places under your rule, and revive the medieval human race."
"...Yes, disciples must do their best."
Zhao Heng breathed heavily and bent down to salute.
“It’s not about doing your best, it’s about doing what you have to do.”
The Gu God clone corrected him, "Then how can you ascend to the throne as soon as possible?"
"this……"
Zhao Heng thought of a way, but it was a bit treacherous and he didn't dare to say it.
However, the Gu God clone did not need him to give an answer, and continued on his own: "If something happens to the old emperor now, the possibility of you ascending the throne is very slim, unless I take action and forcefully convince everyone. But such a movement is too big. It will not be conducive to the next Northern Expedition. So the best way is to wait, wait for you to be promoted to the outdoor scene, and wait for the situation in the outside world to change. At that time, he ascended the throne, and then used the position of emperor to quickly gather his body and send troops to the Northern Expedition. It just makes sense.”
To Zhao Heng, these words were actually full of pretense and loopholes, but the Gu God clone would not explain to him how the outside world would be turbulent in the next few years. There would be a mad emperor in the Northern Zhou Dynasty who had the ambition to dominate the world. .
At that time, as long as Zhao Heng brings out the Xuanyuan Sword, the divine weapon that can communicate with the Human Emperor Sword, and shows that he is qualified enough to achieve the Dharma Body, then everything will not be a problem.
After all, if the Jin Dynasty is destroyed, although these aristocratic families can join the Great Zhou Dynasty, they may not be as well treated as they are now, and they will definitely be oppressed by those northern aristocratic families.
Besides, being with a king is like being with a tiger, let alone a mad tiger with a history of massacring aristocratic families!
Of course, in order for things to go more smoothly by then, Zhao's power may need to be weakened some more.
For example, this time, Zhao Wuyan, who secretly tried to trick Chen Cang into failing to condense his Dharma Body and died, was not going to be saved by the Gu God clone. However, the old emperor still had to give him a hand and let him live for a few more years and wait for Zhao Heng.
Another important thing for Chi Yao is to capture the magician Han Guang.
Not because of his identity as the leader of the Heaven-Destroying Clan in the Nine Paths of Demons, but because he is also the leader of the "Mythology" organization - the Emperor of Heaven.
It doesn't matter whether the Emperor of Heaven or not, after all, Chi Yao has already seen the real Emperor of Heaven.
What is really important is that this organization should have a fragment of the Nine Heavens in its hands, as well as a large number of techniques from the heavenly gods.
The importance of the fragments of the Nine Heavens to Chi Yao cannot be overstated, and a god's skills often contain his fundamental path. These are excellent materials for advancing the path of refining.
On weekdays, the Emperor of Heaven appears and disappears, and it is impossible for Chi Yao to break into Shaolin directly. Such a good opportunity as the Qionghua Banquet is really not to be missed.
…
…
The ruins of Jiuchongtian.
Although the Human Emperor Sword is unwilling to recognize Chi Yao as its master, it has its own Chi You Banner to communicate with him.
Chi You Banner's request for the Human Emperor Sword could not be ignored, so under the mutual stimulation of the two divine weapons from the other side, the progress of Chi You Banner's recovery began to surge.
On this day, Chi Yao was filling his immortal aperture. Suddenly, he stopped moving his hands, raised the corners of his mouth, and waved his hand to open an empty door in front of him.
The next second, a tall figure wearing an imperial robe, a heavenly crown, and a mask on his face flew out from the air, looking slightly embarrassed.
He is surrounded by waves of Tao and reason, his temperament is unpredictable, and his majesty is inexplicable. Looking closely, the mask actually outlines a similar image of the ancient emperor in mythology.
"Mythical" Emperor of Heaven!
"Magician" Han Guang!
Chi Yao suddenly laughed.
