After Ting Shui and the Players left.
Jiang Dali stayed in the tavern and began to browse the ancient records contributed by the Players of the family.
The first thing he looked at was the information on the Four Sects of the Holy Dynasty.
This was sothing he would have to face and make a choice on in the near future.
Whether it was to complete the long main quest of "Green Forest Underground Emperor I," or to imdiately establish a foothold after entering the Holy Dynasty in the future, he needed to make a choice between the four major factions or the six top elite families.
Otherwise, trying to enter the Holy Dynasty and establish a foothold as the leader of a major force would be akin to dreaming, treating those old foxes as good-natured people.
As for making no choice at all, not taking sides, nor leaning towards any faction for mutually peaceful coexistence, it would also be a short-lived naive strategy.
No one would be foolish, unless Jiang Dali, after entering the Holy Dynasty, always behaved himself and made no moves to compete for interests, otherwise, it would be impossible to navigate smoothly between various major forces.
At this mont, laying out the records that were only a dozen pages long, the detailed information of the Holy Dynasty’s Lingyun Pavilion, Yuanting Pavilion, Sheji Platform, and Venerate Dao Departnt unfolded before Jiang Dali’s eyes.
The Four Sects were established by the Regent King under the Holy Emperor’s command during his retreat, collectively known as the Four Sects of the Holy Dynasty.
The function of these four sects was to assist and supervise the Regent King in managing the court affairs, and they also held the power to oversee the realm.
Each sect’s leader was a brother who followed the Holy Dynasty through life and death, wielding astonishing strength and imnse power.
According to the family’s information, although the Four Sects possess the power to oversee the realm, the directions of supervision are vastly different.
Lingyun Pavilion’s function is similar to the Ministry of Justice, mainly responsible for determining various laws, re-evaluating cases from various places, as well as apprehending notable offenders in the Holy Dynasty. Minor offenders don’t require Lin Yun Pavilion to act. Occasionally, Lingyun Pavilion intervenes in major violations of the Holy Dynasty’s prohibitions within the vassal states’ Martial World and the imperial court, similar to a combination of Ming Country’s Eastern and Western Factories and the Six Gates, involving in both court and Martial World matters.
However, essentially, the Holy Dynasty also has this official departnt called Six Gates, but Lingyun Pavilion can be regarded as a departnt superior to Six Gates.
Yuanting Pavilion’s function is similar to the Ministry of War, mainly managing the military of the Holy Dynasty and various affairs within the civilian Martial World, which includes talent acquisition and selection.
However, due to an agreent witnessed by the Regent King and signed by the leaders of the Four Sects, Yuanting Pavilion must adhere to a five-year rotation priority agreent for talent acquisition and selection from the vassal state.
Sheji Platform’s function is similar to the Ministry of Rites, mainly responsible for the ceremonial affairs of the Holy Dynasty and events like the Hundred Heroes Conference, focusing more on cultivating talents, akin to the most powerful academy in the world, and those who enter it are the elite of the Mixed Martial Arts World.
The function of the Venerate Dao Departnt is similar to the Ministry of Personnel, but unlike the ordinary Ministry of Personnel, which only manages civil officials, the Venerate Dao Departnt oversees both civil and military departnts, including the appointnt and assessnt of officials. Even the other three sects fall under its managent and supervision, but the Venerate Dao Departnt only has administrative and supervisory authority and no authority to deal with problems. Once issues arise, the Venerate Dao Departnt will report to the Regent King who will decide afterward to hand it over to Lingyun Pavilion or Six Gates for handling.
The existence of these Four Sects is equivalent to the six ministries in so vassal states. The only difference in Jiang Dali’s eyes is that the people from the Four Sects are almost all strong martial artists, gathering the most powerful elite from across the world.
Especially the leaders of the Four Great Sects, who were the brothers that followed the mysterious Holy Emperor of the Holy Dynasty back then.
Although the strength and skills of these four cannot compare to the current Regent King, records show that each of them beca top experts who reached the Returning to Truth level 9 in power many years ago, known as the Four Pillars of the Holy Dynasty!
Among the six top elite families like the Wan Family in the Holy Dynasty, there have been one or two top experts at the Returning to Truth level 9, yet they couldn’t be called "Pillars of the Holy Dynasty."
According to the information surveyed by the family, ’Pillars of the Holy Dynasty’ isn’t just a simple title. Being a Pillar of the Holy Dynasty ans that the leaders of the Four Sects received personal edification from the Holy Emperor and are blessed with the Holy Dynasty’s Fate. As long as the Holy Dynasty doesn’t fall into decline, the Four Pillars of the Holy Dynasty won’t weaken with the passage of ti but will grow ever stronger over ti until they eventually pass away.
Jiang Dali was shocked when he read this.
He had experienced the formidable nature of a Returning to Truth level 9 expert.
If the old fool Eternal Life God, with his age-worn body, still doesn’t represent the peak combat power of this realm, then with his formidable Mahavira, he can almost match a regular Returning to Truth level 9 expert when going all out.
And if we take Shakyamuni as an example, this enigmatic lunatic is at least two levels stronger than the elderly and frail Undying God, and certainly can match or even surpass those in the Breaking Realm 9 of the Six Top Families.
Yet, in the Six Top Families, those in the Breaking Realm 9 are not the strongest; there are the absolutely stronger Four Pillars of the Holy Dynasty.
Jiang Dali now imdiately confird that the Holy Dynasty Regent King, who is obviously more formidable than the Four Pillars, is undoubtedly an authentic Breakthrough Realm expert, and one who is alive—not like the already deceased Dharma, nor like Guang Chengzi, who only left behind a remnant shell, nor like Chuan Ying, Ling Donglai, and others who have taken a different path in the Breakthrough Realm.
He saw no more detailed information about the Four Pillars of the Holy Dynasty, so he eagerly turned to the last records about the specific information regarding the Regent King of the Holy Dynasty.
"Holy Dynasty Regent King, whose real na is no longer known.
According to investigations from the Records of the Grand Historian of the Holy Dynasty, this person was a hidden world powerhouse from an enemy country subdued by the Holy Emperor during the Hundred Countries War. Ignoring the dissuasion of his confidants, the Holy Emperor trusted this person imnsely, and with his assistance and support, they won successive victories, bestowing the surna ’Long’ upon him—Dragon, nad Lei, becoming sworn brothers.
From then on, the Regent King, under the na Long Lei, helped the Holy Emperor conquer the world. After the Holy Emperor established the Emperor’s Divine Fist, he imparted it entirely to Long Lei, entrusting that if a suitable genius could inherit it in future generations, the Emperor’s Divine Fist should be passed on as well. Consequently, the later Holy Dynasty Hundred Heroes Conference was born.
It is rumored that when the Holy Emperor encountered Long Lei, this person was already a peerless expert in the Breaking Realm 9. Later, after the Holy Dynasty stabilized the world, enjoying the worship from all vassal states and the Dragon Luck that ca with it, Long Lei was appointed as Regent King, and also enjoyed the vast blessing of the Holy Dynasty’s Fate. Perhaps at that ti, alongside the Holy Emperor, Long Lei had already taken that more powerful step, which was roughly the reason the Holy Emperor, after experiencing setbacks in cultivation, announced his seclusion and handed over the governance of Jiangshan Society to this person. Only such a powerful presence could stabilize the Eight Desolates and Four Directions, yielding unquestioned obedience...
The information recorded about the Regent King in the docunts is not extensive, mostly speculations and conjectures drawn by families based on the Records of the Grand Historian of the Holy Dynasty and past events. However, it is certain that the conjectures about the strength of this Regent King are definitely correct, and may even be underestimated.
However, from this slightly hasty information, Jiang Dali couldn’t help but notice so strange points.
The strange points lie in the more mysterious and powerful Holy Emperor.
Every emperor, after conquering the world, doesn’t they eliminate the cunning rabbits, cook the hunting dogs, hide the birds, and store away the good bows?
Looking at the vassal states and even those countries that were destroyed, most emperors, after conquering the world, worried about the brothers who helped them beco overladen with soldiers, worrying that the many backbone ministers’ achievents would overshadow the ruler, thus killing those who should be killed, imprisoning those who should be imprisoned, with the best outco for a few being retirent to the countryside, no longer interfering in the center of power.
But unlike this Holy Emperor of the Holy Dynasty, who locked himself in a little black room and even before doing so, made all those old brothers and ministers the highest officials within the Holy Dynasty, helping him govern the country and the world.
Could it be that brotherly love is so profound that it can ignore the tempting allure of imnse power?
This is not just a matter of having a generous heart, it’s downright bizarre, appearing...
"It doesn’t seem like actions of a normal emperor; it seems like only an emperor under house arrest and coercion would do such things..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Dali shook his head again and closed the docunt in his hand.
If there was really sothing strange, the civil and military officials of the Holy Dynasty would have already filed impeachnts, and the people of the Holy Dynasty wouldn’t possibly remain serene.
But since everything is in harmony now, with the entire Holy Dynasty continuing to prosper under the Regent King’s rule, it suggests perhaps there are internal reasons he hasn’t figured out behind the strangeness, and it’s not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Jiang Dali then briefly perused so ancient records concerning the Xuanhua of Ying Country, noting so points that need attention before burning both docunts, descending from the restaurant, and then, accompanied by a group of strong and robust followers, entered a carriage, heading straight for Lingyun Cave.
At this mont,
The Immortal Bone Relics of Guang Chengzi, escorted by Golden Wheel Dharma King Chi ng and other Mongolian experts, have been gathered in a coffin by the Mountain Village disciples and transported into Lingyun Cave.
He now just needs to go directly there, and he can attempt to carry out the plan to obtain the Dragon Vein and the Xuanyuan Divine Sword...
