"Old tributor, if I give the order to forcibly reclaim the Nine Bright Chi, can you ensure success?" The Qian’an Emperor asked again.
"Your Majesty, during the last battle between the State Preceptor and the Suru Palace Master, the Nine Bright Chi was not used."
Upon hearing this, the Qian’an Emperor was imdiately enraged.
Seeing his furious deanor, the hunched old tributor slowly stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, this old servant has sothing to say..."
But before he could finish, the Qian’an Emperor suddenly turned his head, glaring at the old tributor with a gaze full of madness and anger.
The words stuck in his throat, the old tributor sighed softly, swallowed back his advice reminding the Qian’an Emperor that State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao was not a traitor, slowly shook his head, and retreated.
"The ancestral commandnt is above all; this old servant... only follows the ancestral commandnt!"
"Ancestral commandnt, ancestral commandnt!
Before the ancestral commandnt existed, did the founding emperor do nothing?" The Qian’an Emperor was already sowhat incoherent.
The old tributor could only silently retreat to the side, quietly waiting for the Qian’an Emperor to calm down.
The Qian’an Emperor gradually cald down.
But in his calmness, madness filled his eyes!
"Old tributor, I can no longer wait!
I cannot sit here and await my doom!
I must execute the previous plan!
Currently, given the state of the world, especially with the urgent need for the Suru Palace and the Wood Spirit Palace to integrate into the present world, it is the perfect ti to cooperate with them to gain the greatest benefit at minimal cost!
To miss this opportunity is to lose everything!
I can’t wait any longer!" The Qian’an Emperor seed to be speaking to himself and also consulting soone.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider." The old tributor once again bowed softly.
"No, I have already resolved!
Moreover, I have rehearsed this plan dozens or even hundreds of tis!
If executed properly, it is foolproof!" As the Qian’an Emperor spoke, he looked at the old tributor.
In the entire palace now, the only one the Qian’an Emperor could trust and consult with was this old tributor.
He could not trust others, nor did they qualify!
The old tributor did not wish to speak further, bowing once again, "Your Majesty, this concerns the national fortune of Dachen, please reconsider."
"I intend to invite the Suru Palace Master to make Dachen the state religion."
"Your Majesty, the Suru Palace Master cannot deal with the State Preceptor! Even making it the state religion will invite chaos and conflict!"
"I cannot allow this traitorous minister to continue! If this continues, one day, he’ll ride over and depose !"
Saying this, the Qian’an Emperor briskly walked up to the old tributor, "Old tributor, will you be able to act when the ti cos?"
"Your Majesty, the ancestral commandnt!"
"Ancestral commandnt, ancestral commandnt, can’t you speak apart from it!"
"Your Majesty, the Suru Palace cannot handle the State Preceptor! Moreover, Great Governor Pei is very close to the State Preceptor." The old tributor said.
"Old tributor, this is what I am asking! I don’t want you to deal with the State Preceptor, but I need you to hold off Great Governor Pei when the ti cos, isolating the State Preceptor, can you do it?" The Qian’an Emperor demanded.
"Your Majesty, the Suru Palace cannot handle the State Preceptor."
"Old tributor, I need you to say whether you can do it! The Suru Palace will handle the State Preceptor." The Qian’an Emperor insisted.
"This... there is no problem with holding off Great Governor Pei.
But Your Majesty, there is sothing this old servant must say." The old tributor cautiously stated.
Seeing the old tributor agree to this, the Qian’an Emperor was overjoyed and hastily asked, "Your Majesty, have you considered, even if the Suru Palace Master succeeds, even if the Suru Palace enters Dachen and becos the new state religion and State Preceptor!
But, Your Majesty, don’t you fear the Suru Palace becoming a second State Preceptor?
Perhaps even more reckless and harder to control?"
"Your Majesty, to be fair, though State Preceptor Cheng has recently overstepped, he has been loyal to the State Preceptor, and his recent transgressions are due to matters in Yangjiang County and the death of the unparalleled genius Xu Jin.
In this old servant’s eyes, the State Preceptor at least remains earnest for Dachen’s sake.
But the Suru Palace Master is different!
Your Majesty, please reconsider!" The old tributor stated.
Upon hearing this, the Qian’an Emperor smiled and nodded, realizing the old tributor truly cared for him.
"Old tributor, your concerns, how could I not consider them.
Old tributor, with my current Sixth Rank Ninth Layer Peak cultivation level, relying on nurous Star Artifacts, and with the Great Chen National Seal, the combat power of the Seventh Rank Ninth Layer Peak is mine to have, isn’t it?" The Qian’an Emperor asked.
"This... on paper, of course, it is there, but in actual combat, it’s hard to say!"
"Old tributor underestimates ! Though I haven’t picked the Gold Star, I have been honing my practical combat ability for years in the Star-picking Secret Realm!
I believe that my current combat power is absolutely capable of fiercely battling the Seventh Rank Ninth Layer Peak.
Even when Companion Chu was present before, he wasn’t my match." Qian’an Emperor said confidently.
"That’s possible."
With Qian’an Emperor being so confident, the old tributor dared not advise any further.
To advise more would be to slap the Emperor’s face.
"Then, old tributor, tell , if my cultivation level breaks through to the seventh tier, will I have the strength to contend with the eighth tier?" Qian’an Emperor asked.
"This... in theory, yes.
But the battles between the seventh tier and the eighth tier cannot be completely judged by common sense.
However, if Your Majesty can break through the seventh tier, relying on the National Treasure Seal and various Star Artifacts, reaching the combat power of the eighth tier should be possible." The old tributor said.
"This is exactly what I have in mind!
Old tributor, as long as I break through to the seventh tier, give a little more ti, and I will have the power to fight the eighth tier.
By then, how can the Suru Palace ride above ?
I have the power to contend with them!
Old tributor, what do you think?" Qian’an Emperor asked excitedly.
"This... it’s possible! But this matter is significant, and I urge Your Majesty to think thrice!"
"I can’t wait any longer!"
Qian’an Emperor shook his head, "This is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity! Moreover, I’m also worried that the Suru Palace will beco too powerful. By then, we can introduce another party while strongly supporting the National Taoist Institute.
The three parties will contend.
I will balance them from the middle, which will surely lead Dachen Country to flourish!
Also, I can reclaim the position of Emperor of Da Chen!"
The old tributor looked at the extrely excited Qian’an Emperor, wanting to advise him, but he knew clearly that the current Qian’an Emperor probably wouldn’t listen to any advice, so he could only persuade from another angle.
"The matters Your Majesty is planning involve the distant future of Dachen Country. I am dull and cannot patch up any leaks for Your Majesty, but I still ask Your Majesty to think it over and simulate carefully.
If there is any adverse opportunity, Your Majesty must not act recklessly!"
"I understand, old tributor, rest assured, I have already planned and simulated this matter for several months!
Now, as long as you agree to take action, a major problem is resolved.
Once the most critical issue is resolved, great things can be achieved!" Qian’an Emperor said excitedly.
"In that case, I’ll take my leave first!"
"Old tributor, you may go!"
Qian’an Emperor waved his hand, and the old tributor disappeared silently. Not long after, in a dark quiet room, his helpless sigh echoed.
Thinking of all the things of Qian’an Emperor, thinking of his possible plans.
Although the old tributor believed there was a possibility of success, there were also variables.
"If it really doesn’t work, I can only follow the first rule of the ancestral instructions..." the old tributor sighed.
Inside the grand hall, without hesitation, Qian’an Emperor contacted the Suru Palace Master using the Starlight Transmission thod to communicate face-to-face.
Even though he couldn’t send an envoy, he could use the starlight transmission, which the State Preceptor couldn’t ban.
"Your Majesty!" The starlight projection of the Suru Palace Master, now with a short beard, appeared in the grand hall.
"Palace Master Luo, how have you considered the matters we discussed last ti?"
"Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult to manage. I can also contact people to solve your problem!
However, the forces of the four corners in the current world are interconnected, and since we, the Suru Palace, have just entered the current world, if we undertake this great task, it might invite attacks from all sides!
If Your Majesty wants to carry out this great task, you must give a righteous position!" Suru Palace Master Luo Xian said.
"Palace Master Luo!
In the current world, in Dachen, I am the righteousness!
What I say is righteousness!
Whatever you need, I can give it to you!
On this point, I can invoke the National Treasure Seal to swear a Divine Soul oath as a guarantee." Qian’an Emperor said.
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Suru Palace Master Luo Xian’s face, "That’s even better! When does Your Majesty plan to act, so I can contact and prepare accordingly?"
"Wait for for a month, there is still one most crucial matter to resolve, and then it will be the ti to take action!"
"In that case, I will warmly await good news from Your Majesty." The Suru Palace Master cupped his hands and said.
