Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chapter 459: Chapter 212: The Reaction of the Various Sacred Lands, Descendants Reach Five Thousand, Breaking Through to the Tongxuan Realm! _1

Da Qian, Imperial Palace.

Emperor Qian summoned numerous high officials of Da Qian for a discussion, which included the Mentor of Daqian, Left Minister of Daqian, the Prophet of the Imperial Astronomers, the Head Supervisor of the Jingye Office, the Great General, and others.

At this moment, this group of Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmasters was engaged in a heated debate, holding different views, and the shocking topic was that the ancestral figure of Han Mansion and the master of The Li Manor were the same person.

After discussing for half a day, the group of high officials finally turned their gaze to the silent Emperor Qian, waiting for him to speak.

“Let’s keep everything as is,” Emperor Qian sighed, saying weakly.

After pondering, Emperor Qian added, “Also, prepare a congratulatory gift of sufficient value and send it to Chengsheng Mountain.”

Before summoning his ministers, Emperor Qian had gone to the forbidden area of the Imperial Palace. He had called out for a long while but did not receive a response from the old ancestorial figure, Zhen Xiong.

The token that allowed passage had been taken by Han Li, and even if Emperor Qian wished to enter, he could not, for it was a top-tier True Martial Realm formation in operation, capable of easily killing him.

The lack of response from the old ancestorial figure, Zhen Xiong, very likely meant his time had come, dying silently within the forbidden grounds. Given this, Emperor Qian did not wish to disturb him; maintaining the false impression that Zhen Xiong was still alive was quite beneficial.

At the very depths of his heart, Emperor Qian also harbored a suspicion that the old ancestorial figure, Zhen Xiong, had died long ago, perhaps over a decade before.

That was the last time he saw the old ancestorial figure, Zhen Xiong, and even then, Emperor Qian felt something was amiss. However, he did not dare to confirm it, for it might bring about his own demise.

If the old ancestorial figure had died back then, then the person who killed him might have been the master of The Li Manor, Li Feiyu, who is now the ancestral figure of Han Mansion, Han Li.

However, these issues were no longer of his concern. After all, the old ancestorial figure, Zhen Xiong, had not much life left, and in the future, the Qian Dynasty still needed to rally closely around the ancestral figure of Han Mansion.

The merging of Han Mansion and The Li Manor by the ancestral figure was quite favorable, having moved away from Da Qian’s Capital City. This also allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, Emperor Qian would always feel tremendous pressure.

After all, the ancestral figure of Han Mansion was an outsider, and the Qian Dynasty could only maintain its stability by continuously supplying Han Mansion. Now that the only True Martial Realm of the Qian Dynasty might be gone, if the ancestral figure of Han Mansion were to act recklessly, his position as Emperor Qian might be in jeopardy.

The merger of The Li Manor and Han Mansion in Yuanzhou’s Chengsheng Mountain, while not moving away from the Qian Dynasty, could still be the stabilizing force for the empire, but not necessarily for Da Qian Royalty.

With Han Mansion far away in Yuanzhou, if not diligently maintained, the relationship with the Qian Dynasty might gradually weaken, leading to unpredictability.

The ancestral figure of Han Mansion might protect the Qian Dynasty for another three hundred years, but Emperor Qian did not have confidence in cultivating a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu during this period. However, if they continued to maintain a close relationship with the ancestral figure of Han Mansion and if Han Mansion took root in the Qian Dynasty, then the Qian Dynasty would continue to stabilize until a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu emerged.

By doing so, he could continue to be Emperor Qian.

Previously, he was pushed forward as a puppet Emperor Qian, but now he truly held real power. Without the old ancestorial figure, Zhen Xiong, he could leverage more of the Qian Dynasty’s resources.

Perhaps, he also had a chance to attempt advancing to the True Martial Realm and to better cultivate his offspring to see if there was hope of them reaching the True Martial Realm.

Although he had a semi-retired emperor above him, the ancestral figure of Han Mansion was always low-profile and never interfered in affairs. As long as he maintained a good relationship, he could continue being Emperor Qian, and Da Qian Royalty would still belong to the Chu family.

“As you command,” replied the Mentor, Left Minister, the Prophet, and others, their eyes flashing, each harboring different thoughts, but still replying with respect.

After the imperial assembly disbanded, Emperor Qian sat on the Dragon Chair, his expression tangled with conflict.

After a long while, Emperor Qian sighed, “Grand Internal Supervisor, what do you think about me doing that?”

Grand Internal Supervisor Cao, standing by his side, pupils contracted slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, “Your Majesty, this old servant does not know.”

Emperor Qian had once vaguely revealed his intention about this matter to him, but it was far too taboo, and he dared not express an opinion for fear of being made the scapegoat by Emperor Qian in the end.

“Sigh~”

Emperor Qian sighed again and then vanished from the grand hall.

Imperial Harem, Fengyi Palace.

The figure of Emperor Qian silently appeared there, simply standing outside, silently gazing at Fengyi Palace.

His Empress was a mature and alluring beauty of unparalleled grace and gentleness, and her appearance and figure were top-notch in the Qian Dynasty.

Ever since his last encounter with the old ancestorial figure, Zhen Xiong, Emperor Qian had not touched her, undoubtedly harboring other thoughts in his heart, but he had never truly made up his mind.

After staring at Fengyi Palace for a long while, Emperor Qian started walking slowly towards it.

Yinyang Sect, mountain gate.

Two True Martial Realm Emperor Wus stood silently facing each other, exchanging looks, the atmosphere heavy.

One was the Yinyang Sect Hierarch in red and the other was Dugu Bing clad in black. At that moment, Dugu Bing’s aura was growing increasingly stronger.

“You’re not really planning to seek revenge against Han Li, are you?” asked the Sect Hierarch as he watched Dugu Bing’s demeanor.

Although he and Dugu Bing often clashed, the latter was still one of the faces of the Yinyang Sect. If he really went to seek revenge on Han Li, it was likely a one-way journey.

If Dugu Bing died at Han Li’s hands, the Demon Clan might blame him for it, and he would have difficulty absolving himself. After all, he would be seen as having watched Dugu Bing march towards his death.

On hearing this, Dugu Bing’s aura stumbled, then slowly dissipated to nothing.

“Sigh, it seems I won’t be able to avenge myself for the time being,” said Dugu Bing dejectedly as he sat down, his face full of unwillingness.

The news that Li Feiyu was Han Li had spread throughout the Xuan Domain over several days. Although the Xuan Domain was vast, there were very few True Martial Realm Emperor Wus. They were the most elite individuals, and every move they made was closely watched.
