Chapter 2677: Chapter 91: Dongxia God Emperor vs. Wang Licui (Part 3)
"Wang Qing has such grand aspirations, this Emperor is truly gratified." The Cangping God Emperor set aside the edict and glanced at the Heaven Pillar Saint King, "However, capturing one or two mere Sacred Dynasties is insignificant to the overall situation. Instead, it will intensify conflicts, possibly triggering military clashes between the two God Continents. The main mover on the opponent’s side is the Nirvana Buddha’s lineage. Why not invite the senior Tai Chu to personally meet him? It might serve to shock and awe."
"Your Majesty is wise."
The assembly all cupped their hands in praise.
During the conversation, the Cangping God Emperor had already affixed a red comment on the edict, signaling its approval.
The study room once again returned to tranquility.
After a short while, the Cangping God Emperor brought out another edict, a hint of anger showing on his face: "At the Void Sea Frontline Battlefield, the Barbarian Giant Stonehammer Tribe has once again begun clamoring for cessation of war and an increase in compensation. This marks the third time in nearly ten thousand years. Marshal Ji has discussed with this Emperor, suggesting that we expel the Barbarian Giants from the frontline army and drive this ungrateful barbarian tribe out of the Eastern Dawn God Continent."
"Your Majesty, that must not happen." An elder surnamed Ji hastily advised, "Our eternal nemesis, the Demonic Clan’s ’Exterminator Great Commander’ has formidable strength. The Barbarian Giant Stonehammer Tribe is fiercely brave and fearless of death, having made numerous significant contributions to our dynasty. At this critical juncture of war, perhaps we should increase the compensation for the Stonehammer Tribe, so they remain loyal in their duties."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone in the room voiced opposition, arguing that the Stonehammer Tribe is fickle and unreliable, that if we satisfy them this time, it will happen again next time. It’s better to make early plans and support other Barbarian Tribes to serve us, and so on.
The group argued back and forth, each expressing their opinions, yet they could not reach a conclusion.
The final outcome, naturally, was to postpone the matter temporarily and await further discussion and decision at the Grand Assembly.
Then, one edict after another was taken out by the God Emperor, involving matters such as foreign rebellions, border crises, and even incidents where creatures of the Void Realm traversed space, causing disasters, and so on...
Each matter seemed not to be underestimated.
Each matter was related to the safety of the entire Eastern Dawn God Continent.
It was not until midday several days later that the Cangping God Emperor finally finished handling the stack of edicts, allowing him a moment of leisure to sip tea and chat briefly with the close ministers.
The Cangping God Emperor held a cup of tea, his gaze passing through the rising steam to look at the Heaven Pillar Saint King: "Wang Qing, is your family’s Lingzhu almost advancing to the Transcendent Void Realm? How is the adaptation at the Dao Palace?"
The Heaven Pillar Saint King hastily set down the tea cup and replied, "Lingzhu is doing well at the Dao Palace. Just a few days ago, she sent a message back, saying that Senior Tai Chu has completed refining two furnaces of ’Twelve Grade Taoist Yuan Pill,’ and this time, luck favored them with exactly three pills! Next, once she advances to the Transcendent Void Realm, Senior Tai Chu will protect her, enhancing her bloodline talent further~~" (The previous description of the consumption conditions of the Taoist Yuan Pill was incorrect, follow this standard)
"Lingzhu’s potential is already exceedingly high. After consuming the Taoist Yuan Pill, and inheriting the Sacred Diagram, she might reach Class A Saintess, right?" An elder said enviously, "With such talent, once she inherits the position of Taoist Master in the future, she might ascend even higher."
All the others wore faces full of envy.
The offspring with such talent, even among the Xuanyuan Clan of the God Clan, is a rarity once in tens of thousands of years. Despite the decline of the Ying Clan, they unexpectedly have such an offspring, truly a stroke of luck.
If Yin Lingzhu successfully ascends to the position of Taoist Master, the Ying Clan might flourish for at least hundreds of thousands of years more, perhaps even reaching greater heights.
"Not there yet, not there yet." The Heaven Pillar Saint King waved his hand modestly, smiling as he said, "I estimate there will be a slight gap to reaching Class A Saintess. Hopefully, at that time, we can find suitable Heaven and Earth Treasure to make up for that little gap."
Before inheriting the Dao Book, Class B Saintess and Class A Saintess belong to two distinct tiers; the former having just met the criteria for inheriting the Dao Book, would remain an ordinary Taoist Master even if they cultivated to the Primordial Realm, while the latter, after inheriting the Dao Book, can push their bloodline talent to Class C Taozi, making them potentially a mid-stage powerhouse in the Primordial Realm, a difference that cannot be overstated.
Bear in mind, although the Human race’s current circumstance seems peaceful, there’s unceasing warfare in the surrounding regions. Every Taoist Master in the Primordial Realm is a pillar of support for the Human race, essential to their safety.
Internally, due to cultural and regional differences, there are varying factions within the Human race that occasionally conflict with each other. If the cultivation level of Taoist Master Tai Chu is lacking by a few levels, it concerns whether the backbone of the Eastern Dawn God Continent is firm or not.
"Speaking of which, the Ying Clan truly enjoys profound blessings." The Cangping God Emperor couldn’t help but smile, "I recall hearing from the previous God Emperor during my youth that over ten thousand years ago, during the period of Primordial Taoist Palace’s legacy, the Ying Clan produced a remarkable predecessor, Ying Linglan. Unfortunately, they disappeared due to an accident. Now, as we approach another Dao Book legacy period, the Ying Clan has yet another equally exceptional Ying Lingzhu, which indeed indicates the prosperity of your Ancient Saint clan Ying lineage~"
"Old Ying, your Heaven Pillar Saint King Mansion must carefully guard Lingzhu this time; let no more accidents occur."
"Rest assured, this time our family will have a Sacred Supreme protecting her closely at all times."
"Even so, she must still be tempered; otherwise, when she becomes Taoist Master, she shouldn’t end up being an ornamental pillow with no real use."
