Northwest.
Mount Kunwu.
Upon reaching the summit, all other mountains seem small.
At this moment on the top of Mount Kunwu, Liang Sheng looked at the fairyland-like scenery before him, immediately thought of this poem, and couldnt help but let out a long, passionate cry.
In an instant, the forest trembled, and the wild animals in the forest were frightened and fled in panic. For a short while, the entire forest was thrown into chaos.
After his cry, Liang Shengs gloom of more than a month was dispelled. He had followed the Kunwu mountain range for a month without finding any abnormalities.
It seems that the records in the unofficial history books were really fabricated, and he came here for nothing. However, the beautiful scenery before him did bring him some consolation.
After venting his emotions, Liang Sheng was ready to go down the mountain. He didnt know how the situation in Dayan had developed during this time, and whether the rebellion in the Southwest had been suppressed.
He had been wandering around the forest on Mount Kunwu, so he was not aware of the situation.
However, just as he prepared to descend the mountain, a landslide suddenly occurred on Mount Kunwu. With Liang Shengs cultivation level surpassing that of an Innate Master, he was naturally unharmed.
But at this moment, Liang Sheng felt something and followed the path of the mountain fracture, only to find a hidden dimension inside.
Were there really secrets hidden in Mount Kunwu?
As Liang Sheng was excited, the moment the landslide on Mount Kunwu occurred, the Southwest completely rebelled, declared independence, and officially broke away from the rule of the Dayan Dynasty.
That night, Emperor Kaiping knelt down in the Grand Temple without getting up. For a short while, the dynasty had no ruler. The Prime Minister received Qin Gangs oral message and hurriedly led hundreds of officials out of the Golden Hall, each performing their duties.
No one knew what the hundreds of civil and military officials were thinking at this moment, but the fluttering of hearts had become a fact.
After Chen Pings rebellion, the situation in Dayan had completely changed. The initial rebellion in the Southwest had been small-scale, but with Chen Pings support, the rebellion had become unstoppable. In an instant, the rule of the Dayan Dynasty was on the verge of collapse.
Nobody had expected that in just twenty years, the title of Emperor Kaiping would become a joke.
Outside the Grand Temple, Qin Gang looked anxious because Emperor Kaiping had been kneeling inside the temple for a day. How could he not be worried?
However, he didnt know that at this moment, not only was Emperor Kaiping in the temple, but the Old Sect Master of the Lifeless Sect was also sitting by his side, their eyes closed and silent.
Thirteenth Uncle, what should I do now? How dare these ordinary men bully me like this? If 1 personally lead the troops to suppress the rebellion in the Southwest, what do you think?
When thinking of Chen Pings rebellion under the banner of clearing Li Hongs name, it felt like he was being undressed in public.
If he had known this would happen, why didnt he deal with Chen Ping back then? However, who could have known that Chen Ping was waiting for the opportunity by plotting and biding his time?
Twenty years! Chen Ping was really a man who could endure!
The Old Sect Master of the Lifeless Sect glanced at Emperor Kaiping and gave him a meaningful look. Then, he suddenly said, Do you know how your father evaluated you before he passed away?
Emperor Kaiping hesitated and didnt speak. The Old Sect Master of the Lifeless Sect continued to speak for himself, not avoiding Emperor Kaipings questions.
Although your father was ruthless, his governance and strategy were first-rate. Otherwise, how could Prince Pingan, a hero of his generation, have given in so easily?
Your father had said long ago that you were high-minded and incompetent. Although you have some means, you are too petty. However, you are the strongest descendant of his line, and he had no choice but to choose you.
My father really thought so poorly of me?
Emperor Kaiping didnt expect that he was so unbearable in Emperor Yan Jings eyes. But if that were the case, why did he pass the throne to himself? Wasnt it because he felt that he was not virtuous enough for the throne?
But its because the Grand Ancestor of Dayan was a great strategist that he prepared for the incompetence of his descendants. You must have heard the legend of the Grand Ancestors encounter with Immortal Destiny on Mount Kunwu, which laid the foundation of the Dayan Dynasty. In fact, this is all true, but the order of events was reversed.
It was only after the encounter with Immortal Destiny that the Grand Ancestor went to Mount Kunwu, buried the Nine Ding at the foot of the mountain, formed the Nine Provinces Array to suppress the dragon qi, and extracted the fortune of the Dayan Dynasty for them.
It is precisely because of this that resources are transferred to ensure the continuity of the innate talents of my Ye family, with the foundation of the Dayan dynasty remaining solid.
However, this is just one of the preventive measures put in place by Taizu, with the Lifeless Sect being the second. So do whatever you want to do now.
If you really want to suppress the rebellion, you can bring along Qin Gang and even the holy sword, but you must leave the Nine Provinces Tripod to me.
If you fail to restore order, then my Lifeless Sect will take action. With the Nine Provinces Tripod in hand, 1 can guarantee the continuation of the Ye familys legacy.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kaiping is first taken aback but then calms down. If he can suppress the rebellion, then nothing will happen.
If he fails to suppress the rebellion, then he would have no face to meet his ancestors, and whats the point of holding on to the Nine Provinces Tripod?
Anyway, as the Thirteenth Uncle said, by that time, even in the worst case scenario for him, the Ye family could at least continue its legacy.
Thinking about this, he nods slightly and steps out of the Grand Temple. Seeing his state when he comes out, Qin Gang inexplicably rejoices.
At this moment, Emperor Kaiping is rejuvenated, showing no sign of decadence, Da Ban, accompany me in my imperial campaign to the southwest.
Upon hearing these words, Qin Gang reacts immediately, his heart full of pride and without any doubts.
Yes!
Mount Kunwu.
At this moment, after the landslide, Liang Sheng discovers that inside Mount Kunwu, there is a hidden path, and thousands of meters below it, there is a palace.
Liang Sheng confirms that he does not feel any danger, but he still sends beasts into the palace a few times, tying them with ropes, going back and forth to make sure they are safe.
After a few more days of testing with birds and beasts, ensuring everything is foolproof, Liang Sheng finally steps in. The interior of the palace is not as splendid as he imagined, but the walls are covered with murals.bender
Liang Sheng glances at them and quickly realizes that these murals depict the story of the Grand Ancestor of Dayan defeating the Seven Great Sects and laying the foundation of the Dayan dynasty.
Surprisingly, behind the Seven Great Sects are people, or more accurately, cultivators. Witnessing the various divine abilities and flying swords severing life and death from miles away, Liang Sheng cant help but yearn for them.
This is what cultivators are like!
Moreover, the Seven Great Sects and the Grand Ancestor of Dayan are actually representatives of two cultivator forces. In the end, Dayan collaborates with one of the cultivator forces to drive away the other, thus establishing the Dayan dynasty.
Thinking about his own strength, which is absolutely no match for cultivators, if the mortal world were to undergo another reshuffling of cultivator forces, he might suffer collateral damage.
He must cultivate himself!
After looking at all the murals and seeing the Nine Provinces Array deep in the hall, with the nine Ding buried underneath, Liang Sheng finally understands the situation.
The Ye family is actually the representative of that cultivator force in Dayan.
There are indeed immortals in this world, and they are actually in the same place as the secular world, but for some unknown reason, they are separated from each other. They will find a spokesperson in the mortal world, such as the Ye family of Dayan.
After looking at the last few murals, Liang Sheng roughly figures out the meaning behind them. Every hundred years, the Ye family will support the luck of the dynasty, and cultivators will use certain methods to show no fear of the cost of the discrepancy between the immortal and mortal worlds, sending resources to the Ye family in Dayan. Some fortunate people will even be taken away by cultivators. It is unknown what role the dynastys luck plays in the cultivator force.
At this moment, Liang Sheng naturally will not recklessly destroy the Feng Shui array in this place, so as not to suffer backlash and bear the consequences. But at the very least, he has found a clue to cultivation.
There are ways to cultivate in the mortal world, at least there are clues in Dayan!
After looking at the murals and getting a general idea, Liang Sheng leaves Mount Kunwu without hesitation.
Its time to return to the Capital..
