But precisely because it's not easy to achieve an 'advantageous situation' now, Qin Ziheng becos more cautious and is unwilling to ruin the current favorable situation.
Therefore, before completely defeating West Pole Country, Qin Ziheng would not allow Zuo Jun to risk attempting a breakthrough!
"When do you expect to achieve your breakthrough?"
Qin Ziheng looked at Li Fei and suddenly asked.
Since Zuo Jun can't be relied upon, the greatest hope now rests on Li Fei.
Even though Li Fei has not yet made his breakthrough, he can already contend with the peak. Once he makes his breakthrough, he would at least be among the top five or even the top three in the world, if not the world's number one!
Then, attacking West Pole Country would have a high chance of success.
Li Fei said with a serious expression, "Regarding the breakthrough, I have a preliminary idea."
"Oh?"
Qin Ziheng's eyes lit up, "Do you need any assistance?"
He also understands the art of borrowing montum for seeking Dao.
If soone else wanted him to invest a large amount of national fortune to gamble on a chance, he definitely wouldn't agree.
But Li Fei is different.
This is worth the gamble!
Li Fei: "I plan to visit the Heavenly Tower next."
Qin Ziheng was slightly worried, "To et Lin Tianyi?"
To ascend a floor in the Heavenly Tower, one must 'break a thod', otherwise they are destined to stay forever.
This is the rule set by the world's number one.
Since Li Fei is going to ascend the tower, his goal is naturally to climb to the ninth floor in one breath and et the world's number one.
Although 'breaking a thod' doesn't require the challenger to defeat Lin Tianyi, and he never oppresses people with his realm.
But after all, he is the world's number one!
Even with great confidence in Li Fei, Qin Ziheng couldn't help worrying.
If Li Fei fails in breaking the thod and is confined to the Heavenly Tower forever, what would happen then?
The world's number one certainly won't give face to the Emperor of Da Lan!
Li Fei calmly replied, "Since I am going to ascend, I naturally want to et the world's number one."
Seeing Qin Ziheng hesitating to speak, he continued, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I am of course not a match for Lin Tianyi now, but I am confident enough to crack the moves he left more than sixty years ago."
The world thinks that no peak strong person has ever visited the Heavenly Tower, but little do they know that Sword Immortal Ning Qingman visited once many years ago.
In the end, Ning Qingman still lost to Lin Tianyi with her strongest swordsmanship, but Lin Tianyi did not keep Ning Qingman.
"This tower was established by years ago; your swordsmanship is sufficient to 'break the thod' if matched against from years past."
This was Lin Tianyi's original words to Ning Qingman.
After hearing Ning Qingman recount this, Li Fei understood—
It turns out that to ascend to the ninth floor, it's not necessary to surpass the current Lin Tianyi; it's enough to surpass Lin Tianyi of years past in technique.
"So that's how it is."
Upon hearing Li Fei's explanation, Qin Ziheng felt much more at ease.
"Once I return from the Heavenly Tower, I'll consider how to proceed with the breakthrough based on what I gain from this trip."
Li Fei truthfully said.
"Good, I'll be waiting for your good news!"
Qin Ziheng said with a smile.
After so pleasant banter between the ruler and minister, Li Fei was about to stand up and take his leave when Qin Ziheng suddenly brought up another matter:
"'Under Heaven' has been ranking Dao Foundation Stage Martial Artists, creating a Fengyun List, which has stirred the world for years. Now 'Under Heaven' has beco the Secret Investigation Departnt under the court, and I think that 'Under Heaven' can be bolder."
The Third Prince Qin Ziyuan established the world's number one intelligence organization 'Under Heaven' and gave it to Li Fei.
Li Fei handed it over to the court, yet Qin Ziheng did not completely integrate 'Under Heaven' into the Monitoring Pavilion, but instead established a separate Secret Investigation Departnt, appointing Li Fei as the special envoy.
Li Fei was straightforward, letting the Monitoring Pavilion send personnel into the Secret Investigation Departnt to assist with managent. He basically acts as a hands-off shopkeeper and doesn't manage specific affairs, only speaking up when intelligence is needed.
At this mont, when Qin Ziheng suddenly ntioned 'Under Heaven', Li Fei knew there was work to be done.
"What does Your Majesty intend?"
"Previously, the Fengyun List only ranked Dao Foundation Stage, but from now on, it can have three additional lists covering Martial Arts Masters, Grandmasters, and Peak Strong Persons!"
Qin Ziheng's idea was astonishing.
'Under Heaven' only ranked Dao Foundation Stage Martial Artists because beyond that, Martial Arts Masters and Grandmasters are influential figures, and arbitrarily ranking them could easily offend people, which 'Under Heaven' cannot afford.
But now Qin Ziheng not only intends to rank Martial Arts Masters and Grandmasters worldwide but even plans to rank Peak Strong Persons!
This is undoubtedly an unprecedented move!
Qin Ziheng: "Moreover, the ranking shouldn't be limited to the Da Lan Dynasty; Northern Barbarians, Two Desert Countries, and Grassland masters should all be included. This list should encompass the entire East Continent!"
He looked at Li Fei and said word by word:
"I intend to have you undertake this task."
...
After leaving the Imperial Palace, Li Fei returned to his residence.
He took out the Thousand chanism Shadowless Silk, not to send a ssage to Ning Qingman, but to send ssages to the leaders of 'Under Heaven' scattered across various locations, issuing new orders.
The launch of a ranking list could actually be handled without Li Fei's personal involvent.
However, because this list involves Martial Arts Masters, Grandmasters, and even Peak Strong Persons, it requires soone who can hold their ground to support this list.
This is not only about credibility but also fundantally about credibility.
Simply put—what qualifies you to rank ?
Given Li Fei's current fa, status, prestige, and strength, undoubtedly, he possesses this qualification.
At least for the Martial Arts Masters and Grandmasters ranking, no one would question Li Fei's qualification.
