According to legend, the Sixiang Continent is a world carried on the backs of four ancient mythical beasts.
These four ancient beasts are Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. Among them, the green dragon dominates the east; the white tiger dominates the west; the red bird dominates the south; and the Xuanwu dominates the north.
Da Xia and Da Qi, as well as the Grassland King's Court, and a dozen large and small countries are all located in the east of the Sixiang Continent.
Therefore, this place is also known as the "Blue Dragon Continent", and dragons are naturally the guardian beasts of this continent.
This is also the reason why Zhao Hongzhi, the elder of Changsheng Tianqi, was so afraid that his theft of the Wind Wing Dragon egg would be exposed. Because once this matter gets out, no one in the entire Azure Dragon Continent will forgive him!
Although Changshengtian is the top sect on the Azure Dragon Continent, and can be considered a top-notch sect in the entire Sixiang Continent, he also dare not provoke public anger on this kind of matter. Therefore, he would definitely not offend everyone on the Azure Dragon Continent just for Zhao Hongzhi.
The sect is high. This is true whether it is in the Azure Dragon Continent or the entire Sixiang Continent.
People in the sect also regard themselves as cultivators and people in the immortal way. Although it has been too many years, there has been no news of ascension. But the status of the sect has never been shaken.
This has also caused many people who have entered the sect to look down on the world, despise the imperial power, and look down on everything in the world after leaving the sect.
It seems that this is indeed the case, even the children of the royal family will respect those who come from those sects. People from the general sect, if they cause trouble in the secular world, even if they cause a big disaster, they usually turn the big trouble into a small one.
After all, the sect's influence in the secular world is quite terrifying.
But in fact... Are sects and secularism really two worlds that have no intersection at all
This is obviously a wrong point of view!
No matter how powerful the sect is, the people living in it are not real gods! They can't reach the level of bigu, they also need to eat, drink and drink, and need all kinds of resources!
Where do you get these things? Self-sufficient
In fact, that is impossible!
Self-sufficiency can only allow these sects to survive at most, but they will never have a decent life!
They are not real gods, they are also human beings! Human beings have the seven emotions and six desires, and they also need to live with dignity and dignity.
So what to do
The royal family in the secular world naturally became the best choice.
People in the sect want to practice, and they need a lot of primordial stones. Where did Yuanshi come from? Do you only rely on the primordial stone veins occupied by the sect? No matter how big the primordial stone mine is, there will always be a day when it will be hollowed out.
No matter how strong the sect is, it is impossible to occupy all the primordial stone veins in this world. After all, there will still be some primordial stone veins, which will be occupied by secular forces.
These forces are basically all controlled by the secular royal family!
In addition to these, there are too many, the intersection of sects and secularism. Of course, ordinary people can't see these at all, and they won't understand them.
But Jiang Qiuyang is different, he is a disciple of the sect, but he is even more a disciple of the royal family in the secular world! It's a prince with an extremely respected status... who may even become a prince!
But deep down in his heart, Jiang Qiuyang, who spent his childhood, childhood, and youth in the sect... until he became an adult in his twenties and did not leave the mountain, did look down on the secular imperial power.
This is also the fundamental reason why the matter in the northern grassland is so important, but he puts more attention on the legend of the Immortal Mansion. In his opinion, a small grassland is like an ant in front of disciples of his sect. Can be crushed easily!
Even for his own father, the monarch of Daqi! Before today, Jiang Qiuyang had more respect for his father than a son. It is definitely not respect for the imperial power!
Because he has been forgetting one thing, that is: how he entered the sect to practice!
I also forgot that when he was in the sect, his master once inadvertently mentioned: He has an uncle who used to be a deacon in the sect, because it is difficult to make breakthroughs in cultivation, and he is tired of the deacons in the sect. Hard life. So I asked the sect to enter the secular world. Most likely, he stayed in Daqi's royal family and became a priest.
Jiang Qiuyang was still a little disdainful at the time. Master's uncle was his uncle. It is difficult to break through in terms of cultivation... Certainly not very strong.
As a result, he was severely taught by his master at that time, saying what do you know? The strength of your master uncle is much higher than mine! That kind of height may be beyond your reach in a lifetime. What right do you have to laugh at him
Jiang Qiuyang found it difficult to understand at the time, since that master uncle is so powerful, why would he be greedy for the world of mortals? Aren't those things in the world that people should abandon in practice
He still remembered that his master just shook his head and smiled, saying that when you become the emperor of Daqi one day, if you can say these words again, then the master will look at you differently.
In fact, more than ten years have passed since this incident. At that time, Jiang Qiuyang was still a child in his teens. So he had long forgotten about it.
Today, he was severely taught by his father for a long time, and then at the end, he said that sentence to him coldly, and in the golden palace, only his voice was heard but no one was heard. It reminded Jiang Qiuyang of that incident all of a sudden.
"This... is this my grand uncle?" Jiang Qiuyang looked at his father who stood there with the air of a king. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his father, whom he had never paid much attention to, suddenly became a little taller. stand up.
"What? Someone mentioned old age to you?" Following this plain voice, a dry and unremarkable little old man who looked only in his fifties, dressed in gray cloth clothes, appeared in front of Jiang Qiuyang. She looked at him with interest.
"Xianghe Palace... Jiang Qiuyang, the seventy-third generation disciple, met his master uncle!" Jiang Qiuyang had been kneeling there all along, so he didn't want to kneel again, and honestly bowed to this humble little old man.
But in my heart, I have a lot of doubts: Is this what the master said back then... the master uncle who was tired of the hardships of the martial arts and then devoted himself to the world of mortals? No matter how it looks, there are no angry horses in fresh clothes, nor groups of wives and concubines... What is the difference between this and the sect
The old man looked at Jiang Qiuyang with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Young man, the path of cultivation is not easy. If I were you, with this condition, I would either be an idle prince and concentrate on cultivation; or... just think about it carefully." Let’s talk about how to be a wise monarch. Hey... you are very lucky, not only backed by sect, but also with royal background, cherish it!"
After saying this, the old man disappeared in front of Jiang Qiuyang in a flash. Jiang Qiuyang didn't even see clearly how the master uncle whom he met for the first time disappeared. In a pair of eyes, only the color of shock remained.
At this time, Jiang Hengyu, the monarch of Great Qi, directly asked the officials to retreat, leaving Jiang Qiuyang alone, kneeling there alone.
Jiang Hengyu returned to the dragon chair, looked at Jiang Qiuyang for a while, and then said: "Get up."
Jiang Qiuyang stood up slowly, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Jiang Hengyu looked at his favorite son in front of him, and said lightly: "I'm curious, how could such a powerful person be an enshrinement in a secular palace?"
"Yes, the master said back then that the master uncle was tired of the hardships of the sect and had no hope of breaking through, so he wanted to return to the world of mortals..." Jiang Qiuyang replied honestly.
"Hehe, tired of the hardships of the sect? You are really...naive!" Jiang Hengyu sneered a few times: "You know, although Mr. Sun lives in the palace, he is not greedy for alcohol and lustful, and he is practicing hard every day!"
"Ah!" Although Jiang Qiuyang had guessed before, he was still surprised when his father confirmed it himself: "Then why did he..."
Jiang Hengyu couldn't help sighing: "It seems that you didn't listen to what Mr. Sun said to you just now. No wonder you, your conditions are really good! Since you were young, you have never There is a lack of resources for cultivation, so it is normal for you not to understand."
With that said, Jiang Hengyu stood up and walked slowly in front of his son, looking at his son who was half a head taller than himself, Jiang Hengyu raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder: "Young man, the royal family is behind you! The resources are always at your disposal. Mr. Sun does not have them. Although Xianghe Palace is not inferior to the Changshengtian sect, the resources are innumerable after all! Mr. Sun is not a genius in cultivation, nor does he have such a great influence. Why did he ask for a lot of resources from Xianghe Palace to cultivate?"
Jiang Qiuyang stared at his father in astonishment. This was the first time he had heard these words. He had never thought about these things.
"Do you really think that Xianghe Palace provided you with the large amount of resources that you have consumed in training in Xianghe Palace since you were young? Are you the kind of genius who can make them spend a lot of resources recklessly? Although I hope you Yes, but... you are not!" Jiang Hengyu walked past Jiang Qiuyang, and said lightly: "The resources you have consumed over the years are all dedicated to Xianghe Palace with the power of the whole country. Moreover, the resources you have consumed Those, I’m afraid it’s less than one percent. Now, do you understand what secular imperial power is?”
After saying this, Jiang Hengyu left.
In the golden palace, Jiang Qiuyang was the only one left, standing there like a statue.
His father's last words kept echoing in his ears: "Now, do you understand what secular imperial power is?"
"Do you understand what secular imperial power is?"
"What is secular imperial power?"
"Secular imperial power!"
After a long time, Jiang Qiuyang's dazed eyes suddenly burst into a bright light, and he said loudly, "Father... my child understands!"
At this time, an old eunuch came out from the shadow of the Golden Palace, looked at Jiang Qiuyang respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has explained, if you really understand, you will go to the frontier barracks in Daxia to report tomorrow." Well. Start with a soldier, and there... maybe in a few years, maybe a year, maybe sooner... there's going to be a war."
"Your Majesty asked you to think about it. If you don't think it through, think about it again. If it doesn't work, you can go back to Xianghe Palace. Anyway, you won't lack resources for cultivation wherever you go."
The old eunuch said calmly, then looked at Jiang Qiuyang.
Jiang Qiuyang shook his head: "Tomorrow, I will go to the frontier barracks to report and tell my father, I have figured it out, and I have figured it out! I want Daqi's imperial power to cover the entire Azure Dragon Continent!"
The old eunuch smiled gratifiedly, nodded, and quietly retreated. It's like it's never been there.
Jiang Qiuyang's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he clenched his fists vigorously: "I understand what imperial power is! I understand the benefits of power! Master, you are right, I lost, and I failed to make you look at me differently! I I'm not a god, I used to be arrogant. But in the future... I won't!"
