#427 - Chapter 426 Different Perspectives
Jia Ming felt that it was best to leave a way out for himself. After all, the three people in front of him were not simple, and he had to win them over to his side. If something really went wrong in the future, and things reached a point of no return, he would stand up directly!
"Bold Xiang Wang, how dare you rebel? I, a traitorous subject, will never rest until we are both dead!"
Chu Tianran smiled slightly.
"It's good for us to eat in the city. Now we're going back to rest. Goodbye, Military Advisor!"
Then they left.
Jia Ming's face showed a trace of helplessness.
These three are all childlike in nature, and he really didn't know how to win them over, but he definitely had to think of a way.
Soon, they returned to the mansion.
Jiubao looked over curiously.
"Why don't we go directly to Jia Ming's house? He definitely wants to win us over, right?"
The approach during this period seemed to be without any rules, but in fact, it was just adding a layer of illusion to them.
You think we are, but we are not. You have also seen the Crown Prince, and there is definitely nothing wrong with him, so we are even less likely to be.
Go deep behind enemy lines and then understand who can be won over and who cannot. A two-faced person like Jia Ming is actually the best target for winning over.
Let him consider the benefits.
If the threat is greater than the benefits, then you have to weigh whether to rely on the Crown Prince or someone else.
We are just some unknown Celestial Phenomenon cultivators. We are just saying what we know.
Guiding by hinting from the side.
Zhao Ling'er looked at Jiubao and slowly said, "Because many things are not what they seem. If we go, it will make us seem too utilitarian, and he will realize it later. At our age, why should we pay attention to him?"
"Tianran, is that so?"
"What my wife analyzes is definitely right!"
Jiubao was silent for a moment.
Well, I feel like I'm a bit redundant. Then I won't disturb you, I'll continue to go out and ask questions.
In fact, he doesn't do anything every day. The most he does is to go out and ask people what they feel about death and life.
As the saying goes, he has seen all living beings, which is not very surprising.
And Chu Tianran and Zhao Ling'er also walk around and stroll around various places on weekdays, and find someone to compete with when they have nothing to do, showing their skills. Young people should be vigorous. If they are not vigorous, are they still young people?
Their image in front of outsiders is actually almost polished, and gradually, if they can be less of a threat in front of Xiang Wang, they can approach Xiang Wang. Only by achieving and doing things in this way can there be more.
Besides this, the two of them would sneak into the room when they had nothing to do in the afternoon to study the wonderful dual cultivation techniques.
Some time ago, Chu Tianran bought a "Golden Lotus," and he would ask Zhao Ling'er about many things he didn't understand.
Originally, Zhao Ling'er felt that this thing would have a bad influence on him, but after reading it, Chu Tianran burst into tears!
"This kind of society is simply cannibalistic. The dignitaries are so barbaric and unreasonable. A small person in Yanggu County is actually bullying men and women so much in the local area..."
Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but be stunned.
Wait, are you reading the same book I read before?
Taking a closer look, it really was.
She asked with some confusion.
"Um... didn't you see those descriptions about men and women's love?"
Chu Tianran sighed.
"The rich stink of wine and meat, while the roads are full of frozen bones. The dignitaries are so extravagant, and in the end, they actually indulge in lust and die, and what about those people...?"
"I think we must not let the world go on like this. We must make this world better..."
Zhao Ling'er understood.
No wonder this book is sold everywhere, and even the government has it.
Ordinary people observe ordinary images, while masters observe distant images. She is actually more vulgar and can't understand the principles inside, but she can understand the illustrations above.
Well... it's very embarrassing, but she's not a young girl who hasn't experienced anything, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Then she pulled Chu Tianran into the room.
"What are you doing, Ling'er? It's not dark yet."
"I feel like I can imitate the movements above."
"Ling'er, you are so vulgar. I am reading the life philosophy inside. No wonder my father would write this kind of book, wearing a lewd and unbearable coat, but telling the eternal truth. How big is the gap between officials and the poor? Ling'er, can you understand what I'm saying? Don't take off my clothes..."
"I can't always understand things that are too complicated, but I can still understand the illustrations above. I was originally more vulgar, so don't be stunned, do what's drawn in the book!"
Hearing this, Chu Tianran was slightly helpless. In fact, he saw more things, and it wasn't dark yet. Forget it, it will be dark later, so there's no difference.
At night, the two continued to go out to find something to eat. Jiubao basically doesn't come back when he's free, and he's always wandering outside. The two were walking on Xiang Wang's fiefdom. There were many cultivators along the way. Celestial Phenomenon cultivators who were hundreds of years old were considered geniuses, but when they saw the two of them, they had to cup their fists from a distance and call out, "Little Brother Tianran." There was no way, their cultivation was really fast and fierce.
Today, he even fought against Xiang Wang. It was heard that cultivators like Xiang Wang couldn't even crush them by crossing one realm, only by crossing two realms. It was really not simple.
The two found a stall and sat down, casually ordering a meal.
"We're being followed, Ling'er."
Zhao Ling'er nodded without changing her expression.
"Is it someone from Xiang Wang?"
"No, he has already let down his guard against us now, and he intends to recruit us. It's probably someone from Jia Ming. He wants to find an opportunity to win us over, but because he is also a subordinate of Xiang Wang, he is investigating to find an opportunity."
"What should we do?"
"It's very simple."
After the two whispered, Chu Tianran's voice suddenly became much louder.
"Ling'er, do you remember the spear we saw at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion over there before? It's actually a Celestial Phenomenon-grade divine weapon, but the price is a bit high. If I could get that one, wouldn't it be majestic?"
"I do remember. There's also a Celestial Phenomenon-grade flying sword that has already transformed into spiritual energy. It's very pleasing."
"Well, let's stay under Xiang Wang's command for two more years, and then we'll just buy them."
After speaking, they continued to chat about recent events, while a very distant secret agent listened and recorded it, and then reported back.
In Jia Ming's mansion, he soon received this news.
Two Celestial Phenomenon-grade weapons that they really want?
That's good, he can also use this to win them over.
"Send someone to secretly buy these two treasures and bring them back. Don't be stingy about the price. We don't lack that little bit of spirit stones or anything."
He must win them over, and he must also find some other people to win over together to form a small royal court outside of Xiang Wang, otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible if he encountered trouble?
......
In another fiefdom, on the street, the old man and Xiao Bing and others walked together.
"What exactly happened to the Emperor back then?"
"The Emperor fought against the Heavenly Emperor back then, and originally he was overwhelming him, but unexpectedly, the Heavenly Emperor was able to summon his father, the God Father who created the heavens and earth, the God of Creation, so he was no match for him."
"The Heavenly Emperor..."
Fang Houren's face showed hesitation.
"What kind of existence is the Heavenly Emperor? How high is he?"
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "I heard the Emperor say that the Heavenly Emperor controls the Great Dao of the world. The condensation of each Great Dao can give birth to an existence like the Supreme Position."
"What is the Supreme Position? Xiao Bing, I don't understand?"
"Then does Old Fang know about the Immortal Emperor?"
"The Corpse Immortal Emperor, the Dark Turmoil, naturally I know."
"Even the lowest level of the Supreme Position, with the lowest level of means, can erase the Immortal Emperor with a single thought."
The old man was silent for a long time after hearing this.
Isn't that a bit fierce? This Heavenly Emperor is actually so powerful, but the Emperor was even able to overwhelm him?
But regardless of the others, now that Chu Ning's cultivation is gone, and he's also lost, His Majesty and Chu Ning are lost together. The world is now a year of great chaos.
The position of Crown Prince is also clear.
But the Crown Prince's intention is not to return. He intends to wait until later and then find an opportunity. Not long ago, Xiang Wang visited, but in fact, it was Chu Tianran who came in person, but he concealed a certain aura. But it was indeed the identity of the Crown Prince that made Xiang Wang believe, and Chu Tianran quickly rushed back.
"I feel that it doesn't make much difference whether Xiang Wang wins us over or not, or rather, it's not necessary to waste so much time stealing Xiang Wang's achievements for so many years."
The Tongtian Sect Leader smiled slightly: "That's wrong. Under the vassal kings of the Daqian Dynasty, they are actually all citizens of the Daqian Dynasty. It is actually very good to solve it by this means, to subdue the enemy without fighting."
"The principle is always this principle, but it's a bit dangerous to let the Crown Prince personally take the risk."
"Isn't there still the person the Crown Prince mentioned, Old Fang?"
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Since there is such a person, then the trouble is not that big. In any case, he can run away, so it's nothing."
Fang Houren pondered slightly, hesitated for a long time, and nodded.
"But I always feel a little strange, it feels like there's some kind of loophole. The God Father of Creation didn't directly kill the Emperor, and even let the Emperor come back. And someone like the Emperor would actually lose his cultivation. And many things, Xiao Bing, I always feel are unreasonable, but I can't say where they are unreasonable. It always feels like a big play, but these creatures of heaven and earth are really dying. If it weren't for that, the Emperor would definitely not sit idly by."
"Back then, the Jiangnan region of the Great Qian Dynasty suffered a severe drought, resulting in millions of deaths and injuries. The current situation is similar. If the Emperor wouldn't act like this, then something truly must have happened. It's a real pity."
The old man raised his head, his eyes filled with endless worry.
"If the two princesses could lead people to rescue the Emperor sooner and return the country to the dynasty, that would be good. Now, the Crown Prince is suspected, and we can't interfere. We can only watch what the Crown Prince will do."
Little Bing nodded vigorously.
"Elder Fang, rest assured. I have been very close to the Crown Prince these years. I know his methods and temperament. He will definitely not do anything without being certain."
The Grandmaster of Tongtian also nodded.
Not far away, a man in a four-clawed dragon robe hurried over and smiled slightly upon seeing Fang Houren.
"Elder Fang, we have now gathered and consolidated a considerable number of troops. Recently, the various feudal lords have jointly entered the capital, killing countless cultivators, but also suffering losses themselves. We have consolidated our fiefdom, recruited cultivators, and our strength is already among the top three of the feudal lords, surpassing even the Xiang Prince."
"Not long ago, the Xiang Prince came here and saw the Crown Prince. If we can recruit the Xiang Prince, then there will be a greater chance to raise troops, advance to the capital, and welcome back the Crown Prince's dragon carriage."
Fang Houren nodded: "That's right, but the Xiang Prince is unlikely to truly stand on the Crown Prince's side. This man has profound cultivation, his talent for cultivation is not simple, and his strength is among the top five feudal lords. It may not be possible to resolve or achieve anything in a short time. We can only see if the Crown Prince can resolve this matter. Otherwise, the consumption of both sides will not be beneficial to the Great Qian Dynasty."
"Elder Fang, I understand. When they have fought to a point where they are both exhausted, it will be time for us to enter the capital. The benefits will be great, and there will be many opportunities."
The Grandmaster of Tongtian didn't stay long and wandered around with Tao Hong.
"Speaking of which, Gongming, Gongming isn't your original name, right?"
"No, I have no true name. People commonly call me the Grandmaster of Tongtian."
"Then who is Zhao Gongming?"
"He is one of my disciples. This disciple has some problems with his mind. More than ten years ago, the Emperor and His Majesty concealed their identities and were under my Jie Cult, living with Sanxiao and others on Sanxian Island. Zhao Gongming was originally Yunxiao's suitor, but this person's heart is uncertain and he always comes up with some bizarre and unpredictable methods."
Tao Hong thoughtfully nodded: "Doesn't that mean that the name I'm calling is actually not you, but your disciple?"
"Hehe, it's just a name, what other meaning is there?"
"Is the Heavenly Emperor ultimately a bad person?"
"There is no absolute good or bad in the world, only the struggle for interests."
The Grandmaster of Tongtian casually condensed a map of mountains and rivers, which included the Great Qian Dynasty.
"This man is named Ying Dang, and he was from the former Great Zhou Dynasty. He worked hard to govern and was determined to unify the world. His ability and realm were both remarkable. In theory, the other dynasties would have been destroyed and unified by this person."
"But the Emperor appeared, this person was beheaded, the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, and the world was unified."
"From that perspective, from the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Emperor was a sinner, and he naturally hated him to the core. But from the side of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty was the sinner and should have disappeared."
"And the Heavenly Emperor, from my perspective, I previously felt that he monopolized the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and was unfairly tyrannical, but now it seems that he is preventing the arrival of the Era of Dharma Decline, bearing the passing of the entire Heavenly Dao on his shoulders alone."
"It's just a difference in perspective, there is no real good or bad. And the Crown Prince, from the Emperor's perspective, is a means of cultivating an heir, but from the Crown Prince's perspective, it is someone who deliberately designed his entire life. The Emperor obviously knows this, but he has no better way, because the Emperor is too strong, no one will provoke him. Therefore, when the Crown Prince goes out, no one will provoke him, which is just human nature."
