Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 584 - Kong Sang

Chapter 584 - Kong Sang

Shen Lian smiled, "Don't take this to heart, the five elements are not parts of the quest."

Yi Zhi was awe-inspired. Shen Lian's sentence was meant for him. It was to warn him to not be too calculative. At the same time, Yi Zhi was relieved. Whether it was Si Jing or Shen Lian, as long as he could achieve his cultivation, there was no need to care for more.

It seemed like Shen Lian wanted to say something to Si Jing but in the end, he said nothing. Eventually, he sighed and left at a leisure pace. He disappeared within the depth of the reeds and n.o.body knew where he was going.

Shen Lian appeared and disappeared in a sudden manner. Other than Yi Zhi and Si Jing, no one knew he was ever around. What made Yi Zhi most surprised was that Shen Lian did not leave any restriction techniques on him.

At the same time, Shen Lian had no other requests. From the result, it seemed that Shen Lian made Si Jing agreed with his strategy.

Si Jing did not have many complaints about Shen Lian leaving. She looked slightly somber and she said nothing. The next day, Si Jing gathered every important individual in the Youshen Kingdom and she nominated Yi Zhi as Yi, and Yi meant the minister.

Hence people in the Youshen Kingdom from then onward referred to Yi Zhi as Yi Yin.

Guang Longzi had advised Si Jing to not be involved but Si Jing ultimately did. She could not just take care of herself and the world. Just like what Shen Lian said, she was just a foolish child.

The people at the Youshen Kingdom, in the beginning, did not think Yi Yin who occupied a high position could amount to anything but as Yi Yin displayed his skills in governance, Youshen Kingdom was afresh within ten days. As the news that Emperor Xia was returning was heard, it brought along the decree where there was a need to form the advisor of Dongyi, and that Si Jing's the Youshen Kingdom would be Dongyi's commissioned country.

The commissioned country literally meant the leader of an area, for Youshen to be Dongyi's commissioned country, it meant that Si Jing would be the leader of Dongyi. She was qualified to lead the Dongyi coalition unless the tribes decided to rebel again or else all of them had to approve Si Jing's status.

The decree of Emperor Xia too placed Si Jing at the focus point of the whole mess at Dongyi. Youshen was at a great location, despite not having a huge land ma.s.s and had only average power. As Si Jing ultimately did not possess Emperor Xia's military force and reputation, and in addition to that Yunyang was still hiding somewhere within Dongyi, it seemed that Si Jing would not have a good time ahead.

However, everyone was wrong. Si Jing had handed the governance to Yi Yin and Yi Yin did not disappoint. He smoothed out Youshen's governance matter and made every official stay put for their duty. "If people at the top can be understanding, the people at the bottom will be willing to swear their allegiance." was the perfect description for Youshen. For people who were observing Qi, they could see that while Youshen did not have a strong fortune, it was starting to look alike to that of a flood dragon or as known as Jiaolong.

When Shen Lian was on his journey back to Xiliang, he had the intention to bring Yi Zhi along but he gave up in the end. In reality, Yi Zhi's strategy was indeed profound but he did not achieve his target of injuring Emperor Xia. Despite having a good reputation, he was not considered to be the number one in the world. He had to reconsider the previous setting.

Just like to unify the netherworld, there needed to be power and acc.u.mulation.

Up till this moment, Shen Lian never felt the change in the heavenly fate. Yinshang's fortune was still at its peak and it was unshakeable. Looking at Diqiu which was far away, Shen Lian could feel the Qi of Tianyi was increasing each day as he entered into a deeper level of unity between the universe and human and as he connected with a miraculous existence. He continued to absorb the spiritual opportunity of Diqiu and destroy the Qi of dragon of Diqiu.

Shen Lian had a sudden revelation that Emperor Xia would surely look for an opportunity to let Tianyi go or else Diqiu's spiritual opportunity would ultimately be sucked dry by Tianyi. By then, it would be a huge joke.

The origin of everything should be Shen Lian because, with Emperor Xia's unequaled conquest of Dongyi, he could surely go to the next level. By forcing Guan Longzi to pa.s.s him the Lamp of Yin and Yang, it was very likely he would be able to suppress Tianyi. This was because Tianyi would not have a divine object such as the Sun Vanquis.h.i.+ng Arrow to destroy the Lamp of Yin and Yang.

Because of Shen Lian, these all went to ruin.

Furthermore, previously at Diqiu, had it not been due to Shen Lian who attracted Emperor Xia's attention and caused the fall of the High Priest, Tianyi would still be under the Xia Kingdom's strict monitoring. He would never have the opportunity to achieve unity of the universe and human and to improve his power further.

Tianyi obviously mastered some sort of technique which could not even be handled by Yinglong who was standing by at Diqiu. It could only allow him to achieve unity of the universe and human and to continue to absorb spiritual opportunity, which in relation reduce the Qi of dragon of Diqiu and damage the dragon's vessels of the Xia Kingdom.

Shen Lian recalled the description of Tianyi, what remained the most impressionable was Tianyi's warm and gentle appearance. He made people feel great but the seemingly honorable gentleman had deceived everything. n.o.body could imagine, not even Guan Longzi that Tianyi who was jailed at Diqiu could rise to be the biggest winner.

Afterall, the current atmosphere at the Xia Kingdom did not receive a boost because of Emperor Xia's successful conquest, not even after he defeated Yunyang who was the most qualified to unify the whole of Dongyi.

Because even though Dongyi was against Xia, they were too mortal enemies with Yinshang.

At the same time, Shen Lian too opposed the Xia Kingdom and hence, it was impossible for him to a.s.sist the Xia Kingdom.

After he figured this out, Shen Lian was no longer down as he realized it was not the end. Furthermore, he had little acc.u.mulation and he too started late. It was not surprising that he fell behind.

Furthermore, this matter helped Shen Lian understood the force of the heavenly fate did not deviate too much from human behaviors. Whether Yinshang would replace Xia was a real event or it was other forces concealing it as heavenly fate, he, Shen Lian would still challenge it. As such, he would have the opportunities to get out of the crisis.

He would be able to get out of the chessboard and see the wider world.

...

The Qi of vitality in the surrounding of the city of Xiliang was thin, there were rarely any profound cultivators or powerful demons. Within a perimeter of ten thousand miles, there were small villages scattered around, along with cities which were just like Xiliang before. They were neither big nor small.

Before the rise of Xiliang, a country like the Xi Kingdom was a rare powerhouse.

After the demise of Xi Kingdom, within a short few years, Xiliang rose to become the master of this area. If not because Xiliang's government was formed by women, the small cities and villages would have rushed to be under Xiliang's protection and call themselves the citizens of Xiliang.

Until recent time, Xiliang finally faced its biggest danger since the country's formation. The nearby villages and countries were glad they did not join forces with Xiliang.

In the east of Xiliang, there was a small country called Kong Sang.

Kong Sang was an odd country as everyone in the country, while they did not differ with other humans in terms of look, in reality, they were all part beasts.

By logic, a human could not breed with beasts but Kong Sang broke the logic. Tracing back many generations, all of them would at one point have a beast as their mother or father.

Perhaps because of the breed of human and beasts, the people of this country was particularly violent. However, as they only had limited military force, they could only bully the small cities and villages around.

Recently, however, Kong Sang suddenly became powerful. Just like the rise of Xiliang which was too fast and unbelievable.
