Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 605
Early on, the Nine Nether Divine Lord
***
The establishment of the Martial Dao Academy was not a good thing for the "noblemen" of the nine countries in the Eternal Land.
This so-called noble might not be a high-ranking ruler.
Because their heritage had been passed down for too long, and more and more offspring had been reproduced, with most of them possessing ordinary talents, there were many "noblemen" with ordinary status and power in many places.
These people usually occupied the positions of several small officials. They could not be said to have any strength, but in the end, they were "nobility" who could develop high-level martial arts. They still felt extremely superior compared to ordinary people.
Therefore, after the Central Capital Imperial City established the Martial Dao Academy and wanted to spread the cultivation of high-level martial arts to the world, the first to jump were not those of high status.
On the other hand, the "noblemen" who were minor officials could not sit still anymore.
However, no one dared to express his objections openly.
No one went to ask the boss for help.
After all, from the fact that this news was unrestricted and could be spread at will, it could be seen that even the higher-ups did not dare to criticize the matter of the Martial Dao Academy.
One should know that unrivalled expert who founded the Martial Dao Academy surnamed "Cui"!
Legend has it that Cui Feng was the junior brother of the Cui Qing clan who nearly destroyed the entire Eternal Land. Moreover, he himself had the cultivation of the Twelfth True World Realm and had reached the peak of the True World Realm.
Who would dare to criticize him?
Unless they're tired of living!
However, these people did not have the guts to criticize Martial Dao Academy, but they had the guts to look for excuses to torture ordinary people. They are so brave!
For a moment, for various reasons, the number of ordinary people who were arrested and imprisoned by lowly officials increased rapidly.
In addition, they all have concrete evidence, laws, and witnesses to back it up. There's no problem.
The little nobles were busy looking for trouble with ordinary people to vent their emotions.
The nobles gradually regained their senses and felt that this matter might not be that simple.
….
The Emperor's palace in the capital of the Wu Kingdom.
At this moment, the Emperor of Wu Kingdom, Fu Cheng, was discussing the matter of the Martial Dao Academy with his trusted aides.
He looked like a middle-aged man in his fifties with a worried expression.
Around him, Zhao Kang, Feng Taiying, and Zhou Mingyi were all important ministers of the Wu Kingdom. At the same time, they were all cultivating in the Eighth True World Realm and were True Immortals.
Usually, Fu Cheng rarely called the three of them at once.
Now that these three people were gathered here at the same time, it could be seen that the matter of the Martial Dao Academy was already very serious in his heart.
“What do you think of Martial Dao Academy in Central Capital?” Fu Cheng went straight to the point and asked the three of them without making them tense up. “I think this is our misery.”
"I think so too." Zhao Kang nodded and said in a low voice, “Once the Martial Academy opens, the leaders of the nine countries will lean towards the Imperial Capital City. As time goes by, there will be no more people in our country.”
“True, this is a very serious problem,” Feng Taiying said solemnly. “The number of people under our rule determines the depth of the land's relationship with the outside world. If the number of people is greatly reduced, I'm afraid we won't be able to cultivate in the future.”
"The most helpless thing is that we can't do anything at all." Zhou Mingyi sighed and said, “Not to mention that the founder of the Martial Academy is an expert in the Twelfth Realm of the True World, there is also Cui Qing standing behind him. We can't provoke him.
Cui Qing's!
After this name was mentioned, the entire palace fell silent.
Everyone lowered their heads, feeling extremely helpless.
Cui Qing's extremely frightening strength was still evident in their minds. Even if they were to gather the strength of the entire Wu Kingdom, they might not be able to compare to a single strand of Cui Qing's hair.
The resistance?
It was just chasing death.
“This is the open scheme of Emperor Hongwu.” Fu Cheng shook his head gently and sighed. “If this continues, it will be a small problem if the number of people in the country is reduced, making it difficult for us to cultivate.
The real problem is when a million years later, or tens of millions of years later. When a group of people who went to the Martial Dao Academy to practice martial arts grew and True Immortals or even Supreme True Immortals began to grow all over the place.
At that time, will they let us go? Do they still let us manage it? Will they keep listening to our orders and build a country for us? I'm worried not.”
"Your Majesty is right." Zhao Kang said with hatred, “If ordinary people have the channels to develop high-level martial arts, we will definitely be the ones to suffer in the end!
“I think this issue should have nothing to do with Cui Qing.” Feng Taiying shook his head gently and said, “After capturing the God of Immortality and crippling the Human Emperor, Cui Qing has yet to appear again.
Cui Qing's cultivation level was too high. He should have just come to us for Hongwu. Now that Hongwu has settled down, it is likely that he has left our humble world.
If Cui Qing was still in the Capital, he could solve all his problems by himself. There was no need to let Cui Feng come to suppress the situation.
This also meant that the construction of the Martial Academy and the deployment of martial arts was most likely the initiative of Emperor Hongwu himself. Cui Feng was only sent to help.
In other words, as long as we can convince Emperor Hongwu or reach an agreement with him, we should be able to eliminate this calamity.”
"That makes sense!" Zhou Mingyi's eyes twinkled upon hearing that. He smiled and said, “Emperor Hongwu definitely has an unknown purpose of wanting to bind these lowly commoners.
As long as we can figure out the true purpose, we can negotiate cooperation with him from this point on. After all, it's okay as long as we can help him achieve his goal."
"I'm afraid it's very difficult." Fu Cheng shook his head and said in a low voice, “Emperor Hongwu is not an ordinary person, nor is Cui Qing. Since he was doing this now, he must have thought about it carefully and definitely gained Cui Qing's approval.
Although I am also very confused about the usefulness of him in the binding of these commoners, since he has made such a decision, it is not something we can change easily.”
"Your Majesty, we should try, " Zhou Mingyi said in a low voice.
"That's right. Are we going to sit and wait for death?" Feng Taiying also persuaded.
"Your Majesty, we should give it a try, "said Zhao Kang very sincerely. “No matter what the Hongwu Emperor's goal is, that's just the beginning. We may still have a chance to change it.”
"..." - ".Fu Cheng frowned and sighed. “What if Emperor Hongwu's true goal is to let those commoners take our place? Then there will be no room for negotiation.”
"That's impossible." Zhao Kang shook his head repeatedly and said, “What is the benefit to Emperor Hongwu? Those lowly commoners had no inheritance or secrets. Emperor Hongwu has no reason to help them replace us.”
"Your Majesty should think too much." Zhou Mingyi smiled and shook his head. “Emperor Hongwu is also cultivating up to the Realm of the True World. He did not belong to lowly commoners, so why would he help them? This does not make sense.”
"That's right." Feng Taiying nodded and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, you think too much. Emperor Hongwu did not intend to let those commoners take our place.
Moreover, the nine countries of the world were already subject to him. Every ten years, we will report our political achievements to the Imperial City in the Central Capital. In the past, there would be no such thing.
From this perspective, Emperor Hongwu's control over this land had reached its peak. This has never happened before. Could it be that he still wanted to destroy the remaining nine countries and swallow everything by himself?”
"There's no way he would do such a thing," Zhao Kang said in a low voice. “Small countries like Chen and Liu Kingdom might be swallowed up, but it is impossible for him to touch the Seven Kingdoms like our Wu Kingdom. Without us, who will help him manage this great Immortal Land?”
"Your Majesty, we should try." Zhou Mingyi persuaded again, "At least, we should find out what Emperor Hongwu wants to do first."
"..." - ".Fu Cheng was silent again upon hearing this. In the end, he patted the table gently. “Alright, go and investigate. Let's find out the purpose of Hongwu first. Remember to hide it and do not let anyone find it.”
"Yes!" The three of them bowed in unison.
….
After ending his conversation with Zhao Kang, Zhou Mingyi, and Feng Taiying.
Fu Cheng arrived at a secret room deep within the palace.
The ground of this secret room was filled with dense and complicated runes.
Each rune symbolized an extremely profound nomological Dao rune, as if communicating with a hidden place.
In the surrounding void, faint blue flames floated up, illuminating the dark room with even more sinister.
The entire secret room was set up as an array formation, or rather, an altar.
Fu Cheng slowly walked to the center of the array formation and knelt down very sincerely. He clenched his fists and placed them in front of his chest. He lowered his head with a serious expression.
"Greetings, the Nine Nether Divine God."
He prostrated himself to nothing, but there was no answer. Only a faint blue flame flickered slightly.
Fu Cheng waited for a while, but still there was no answer. He bowed on the ground and bowed. He said respectfully, “The new Human Emperor looks like it will attack us. If the Wu Kingdom is destroyed, your existence will be revealed.”.
Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly appeared in the secret room. The dim blue flames began to leap violently, as if they were responding more intensely.
Fu Cheng did not say anything. He kowtowed sincerely and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was listening to a certain voice.
A moment later, the cold wind disappeared, and the dim blue flames stopped jumping. The secret room became gloomy and silent again.
When everything returned to normal, Fu Cheng finally stood up slowly. The worry on his face had already disappeared, replaced by a confident smile.
“As long as his strength can really come down here, not to mention Hongwu and Cui Feng, even if Cui Qing comes personally, he won't be a threat!”
