Chapter 538 - 538: Mirror of Change (2)
This made Xiang Zizhen a little surprised and disappointed.
Chen Yuan also noticed Xiang Zizhen’s emotions. He knew that his disciple had made such a huge contribution this time, but he could not guarantee that he could let him obtain the Sage spot. This more or less made him feel a little disappointed.
He sighed and explained. “In recent years, our Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect and the martial pavilion have been fighting for the Sage spot. If it were a few years ago, with Zizhen’s contribution this time, he would definitely be able to obtain the next Sage spot.
“But the most troublesome thing is, the prince had already promised to give the next Sage spot to the martial pavilion. If we want to take it back now, the martial pavilion will definitely not agree to it.”
The senior sister snorted. “In recent years, the martial pavilion has become more and more arrogant. They’re really using their power to bully others.”
Chen Yuan immediately glared at her. “Watch your language.”
The senior sister immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake. Xiang Zizhen was a little puzzled. “Aren’t there still three areas in the Imperial Domain that haven’t been refined? Even if we give the martial pavilion an area, there are still two remaining areas, right?”
Chen Yuan shook his head. “Whether it’s the area in the Imperial Domain or the area in the three domains, there’s a rule. One can only refine one area at most at the same time. Moreover, after one area is refined, it will take at least ten years to refine the next area.”
Xiang Zizhen’s heart sank. In other words, he had to wait at least another ten years?
“You don’t have to be dejected. There’s still room for negotiation in this matter. It’s not really the Martial Pavilion’s spot now. Now that we have the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, be it the martial pavilion or the prince, their attitude towards us will change. At that time, I’ll do my best to fight for you.” Chen Yuan said seriously.
No matter what the reason was, he definitely hoped that Xiang Zizhen would become a Sage. This would also be a game between their Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect and the martial pavilion.
After Xiao Shi chatted with the leader of the Red Tiger lineage, they both knew each other’s names. The leader of the Red Tiger lineage was called Si Muyu.
According to the other party, although there were tens of thousands of disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in the current Imperial Domain, the number was far inferior to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect back when it was powerful.
At its peak, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had millions of disciples. His sect master was even a demigod-level expert. However, not only did the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect no longer have demigods, but there were also only three Sages.
And Xiao Shi realized from this that Xiang Zizhen’s master wasn’t a demigod, but a Daolord. Not only that, there were no demigods in the entire Imperial Domain currently. It was no wonder that the current Great Wu Empire was in such a decline.
“Are those three Heavenly Kings also Daolords?” Xiao Shi could not help but ask. As the leader of the Red Tiger lineage, Si Muyu could already come into contact with some advanced information.
He shook his head. “No. I heard that… the three Heavenly Kings have already become demigods many years ago. They are the top experts on the Tianwu Continent!”
Xiao Shi was enlightened. Previously, he had guessed that the three Heavenly Kings were most likely demigods. However, he never expected that there would be no demigods in the Great Wu Empire.
This made him feel a little strange. There were no demigods in the Great Wu Empire. In terms of combat strength, they were clearly far inferior to the three Heavenly Kings. But why didn’t the three Heavenly Kings destroy the Great Wu Empire?
Since these three Heavenly Kings had left the Great Wu Empire back then, even if they did not have the intention to replace them, they definitely did not want to continue submitting to the Great Wu Empire.
Wouldn’t it be better to join forces to destroy the Great Wu Empire and divide the entire world?
As soon as this thought appeared, Xiao Shi thought of this mysterious and unfathomable fate. According to Xiang Zizhen, the reason why the Great Wu Empire had yet to be destroyed was because the fate of the Great Wu Empire had yet to end.
In fact, if the fate of the Great Wu Empire increased, there was still the possibility of the Great Wu Empire reviving. The reason why the three Heavenly Kings were unable to destroy the Great Wu Empire was probably because of the Great Wu Empire’s fate.
Other than that, this Imperial Domain was clearly not simple! Although there were no demigods in the current Imperial Domain, this Imperial Domain was the former Martial Emperor’s domain after all. There were many methods and arrangements of the Martial Emperor when he was alive.
For example, rules!
Typically, only demigods had the ability to set the rules. Rules were also the strength of a demigod. Logically speaking, since there were no demigods in the Imperial Domain, it was naturally impossible for rules to exist.
However, as soon as he entered, Xiao Shi had already clearly sensed the rules of this place. Moreover, this rule was far stronger than the rules he had sensed in the sealed place of the Eye of the Emperor Judgment.
Not counting the Imperial Domain, Xiao Shi had felt the rules in two places. One was the place where the Eye of the Emperor Judgment was sealed. The other was the Youyue Dynasty’s illusionary world.
However, the rules of these two places were not as powerful as the rules of the Imperial Domain. After thinking about how the three Heavenly Kings could not forcefully enter the Imperial Domain,
Xiao Shi immediately realized. The rules in the entire Imperial Domain were most likely the Martial Emperor’s rules. Even though the current Martial Emperor had already died, the rules he left behind still existed in the Imperial Domain. This made it so that even without a demigod, the three Heavenly Kings couldn’t shake the Imperial Domain.
The current situation of Imperial Domain was actually very awkward. They could only defend the Imperial Domain. It was difficult to expand its power. All these years, they had been trying to rope in the lords outside, but they had all failed. No lord was willing to stand on their side.
After gaining a more specific understanding of the entire Tianwu Continent, Xiao Shi also began to think about the situation he was facing. From the environment of the Four Symbols City, placing the Red Tiger Sect here was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
He no longer had to worry about the problem of the Red Tiger Sect. On the one hand, the Red Tiger Sect did not have to worry about their identity being exposed here. On the other hand, there was the most perfect system of the Red Tiger lineage here. It could allow the people of the Red Tiger Sect to obtain the most suitable cultivation method here and develop to their heart’s content.
However, to Xiao Shi himself, there were two major matters in front of him.
Firstly, he needed to obtain items that could change his appearance and change his body. Secondly, he needed to kill them to drop the Martial Soul Emperor’s armor as soon as possible so that he could break through to the Martial Demon Realm as soon as possible.
That day, Si Muyu arranged a residence for Xiao Shi. Xiao Shi also went to visit the people of the Red Tiger Sect and instructed them to develop here in peace from now on. Then, Xiao Shi returned to his residence. He checked the situation of the Ancient Cang’e Tree. He realized that the transformation of the Ancient Cang’e Tree was still not over.
It seemed to take some time.
“Let’s go see if there are any suitable treasures in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda first.”
Xiao Shi immediately entered the Myriad Treasure Pagoda through the pagoda spirit in his mind to look for suitable items. He already knew that the Myriad Treasure Pagoda was a Daolord-level treasure. Therefore, only treasures below the Daolord realm would appear in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.
There would not be treasures from the upper three realms. Back then, the only treasure of the upper three realms was the Myriad Treasure Pagoda’s pagoda spirit. After searching for a while, Xiao Shi had indeed found a suitable item in the Myriad Treasure Tower.
