Chapter 180 The Emperor of Great Zhou The Great Zhou Emperor Duanmu Jing dismissed his attendants and sat alone in the pavilion thinking about the affairs of the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou Dynasty was founded six hundred years ago and divided the Taiwu Mountains with the Daqian Dynasty. More than ten years ago, with the help of the trial-taker Gong Xin, he intended to annex Daqian, but failed in the end and all the masters died. In recent years, I have recovered with the help of the ladder. But in the distant Daqian territory, Beiquan Mountain is famous. It is said that Gu Yuanqing has a close relationship with the Daqian royal family, and the eldest princess's son Li Chengyi has been his disciple since he was a child. In other words, as long as the man from Beiquan Mountain is there, Da Zhou will never have the chance to take over Daqian, and will instead have to always be on guard against Daqian, which is becoming increasingly powerful. Judging from the Heavenly Ladder Ranking, not to mention the Divine Platform Realm, there are 17 Dao Fire Realm cultivators, but only three in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are more than 130 Dao Embryo Realm cultivators, but less than 40 in the Great Qian Dynasty. Even though there may be cultivators in the surrounding small countries and overseas countries, most of them are in Daqian. This shows the comparison of the strength of the two countries. "Alas!" Duanmu Jing sighed softly. With such a huge gap, the Taiwu Mountains alone could not stop them. Now it all depended on when Daqian would make up his mind.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt his whole body tighten, his eyes blurred, and he came to a strange place. "Who?" Duanmu Jing was so shocked and angry that he mobilized the true energy in his body. His cultivation at the Daotai realm was about to be released, but it was firmly suppressed by an invisible force. Gu Yuanqing sat on the chair and said calmly, "Emperor of the Great Zhou, don't panic. I summoned you here just to discuss something with you. I won't hurt your life." Duanmu Jing could see the surrounding scene clearly at this time. It was an ordinary-looking courtyard. Sitting on a chair beside the tea table opposite was a young man in his twenties. The young man had delicate features, wore a light blue gown, and had his hair tied casually behind his head. He looked solemn. He was in the palace just now. How did he end up in this strange place? Could it be... "Who are you? Why did you drag me into this illusion?" Duanmu Jing said in a deep voice. "Illusion?" Gu Yuanqing laughed dumbly, then said: "It's okay if you just think of it as an illusion. Come sit down and talk." Duanmu Jing looked around and frowned, feeling that this illusion was so real that there was not a single flaw, almost as real as the Ladder to Heaven. "Who are you, sir? Since you dare to meet me, don't you dare to tell me your name?" "Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you. My last name is Gu." "Gu?" Duanmu Jing thought about all the masters with the surname Gu that he knew, and suddenly thought of something, and his heart sank. Gu Yuanqing picked up the tea, took a sip, and then smiled and said, "Yes, Gu Yuanqing, I wonder if you have heard of it?" When he heard the name, Duanmu Jing's whole body froze. How could I not recognize this name? Even in the Great Zhou, there were countless people who worshipped the Immortal Gu of Beiquan Mountain, and this name was at the top of the Heavenly Ladder, far ahead of anyone else in this world. Duanmu Jing forced a smile with difficulty: "It turns out to be Master Gu, what do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Yuanqing said: "Let's sit down and talk. I do have something to tell you." Duanmu Jing took a deep breath and sat down. "Please have some tea!" Gu Yuanqing's mind moved, and the teapot floated and poured a cup of hot tea.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Duanmu Jing picked up the tea and took a sip, while using it to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his mind. At least from now on, the other party had no intention of making things difficult for him, but he needed to talk to him about what he wanted in order to put him in the illusion. Duanmu Jing is only at the Daotai realm, and the power of Beiquan Mountain is growing stronger. Gu Yuanqing is in the mountain and can easily sense his thoughts. "You don't have to think too much. I won't interfere in the affairs between you and Daqian. I invited you to Beiquan Mountain this time because of the boundary dispute." Duanmu Jing's heart was suddenly shocked. He noticed a word, that is, Beiquan Mountain. This is Beiquan Mountain instead of the illusion? How is this possible? Beiquan Mountain is tens of thousands of miles away from the Great Zhou Kingdom. In the blink of an eye, he came to Beiquan Mountain from the palace? Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take you back after we finish talking. I won't let you walk back from Beiquan Mountain by yourself." Duanmu Jing calmed down and said, "I've heard that Master Gu has great magical powers. After seeing him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved." Gu Yuanqing said: "Let's not waste time on small talk. As the emperor of the Great Zhou, you are busy with affairs. Let's get straight to the point." "please say." "There are only ninety years left before the world war. The Linglong world that is fighting with my world is called the Xieyue world. They have many masters. As far as we know, there are no less than seven people in the Void Sky Realm and one in the ninth level of the Divine Platform..." As Gu Yuanqing spoke one by one, Duanmu Jing's expression immediately became serious. The world war is a major event between the two worlds. If it fails, who knows what the consequences will be! "The grudge between you and Daqian is ultimately an internal matter. I don't want your grudge to affect the internal struggle. Everything must give way to this, otherwise I, Gu Yuanqing, will have no choice but to take action." Gu Yuanqing's subsequent words were threatening. As for how to take action, Duanmu Jing naturally knew it in his heart. With the relationship between Gu Yuanqing and Daqian, would he still help Dazhou? Back then, a celestial cultivator at the peak of Daohuo had forced the Great Zhou Kingdom to surrender and cooperate. If it were Gu Yuanqing now, the Zhou Kingdom would have no room for resistance at all. Duanmu Jing knew how to make the decision in an instant. He said in a deep voice: "I... Although I am the emperor of the Great Zhou, I am also a person from this world. Facing the conflict between the two worlds, I can naturally distinguish which is more important. If there is anything that my Zhou country needs to do, please tell me, Master Gu!" Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, this will only benefit your Great Zhou. In a few days, I will send people to the Great Zhou to build a cultivation temple. The person I send is a ninth-level god. He will not interfere in your state affairs. The only thing he will do is to train monks for your Zhou. Time is too tight, and I don't want to spend time convincing others. I am only responsible for sending people over. As for other matters, I hope that you, as the emperor of the Great Zhou, will give your full support." When Duanmu Jing heard the words "Ninth Level of the Divine Platform", he couldn't help but tremble in his heart again. When did the Ninth Level of the Divine Platform exist in the Floating World? Moreover, the key point is to listen to Gu Yuanqing's words. It is not an invitation, but a dispatch. There is a huge difference between the two! "Don't worry, Master Gu. Since this is the matter, everyone in our Great Zhou will definitely cooperate with us fully." Duanmu Jing naturally had other guesses in his mind, but facing Gu Yuanqing, he could only hope that the facts were really as Gu Yuanqing said, that he was only training masters and not getting involved in state affairs. At this time, Gu Yuanqing said calmly: "I will also say this in advance. I am willing to send people to guide the Great Zhou cultivators in their cultivation, just for the sake of the world struggle. If there are people who try to get involved in the world struggle ninety years later, or even make trouble, I will kill them without mercy!" Duanmu Jing solemnly stated: "If there really is such a person, there is no need for Master Gu to take action. I, Duanmu Jing, will clean up the mess myself." Afterwards, Gu Yuanqing chatted with Duanmu Jing for a while, waved his hand, and sent him back to the palace. Duanmu Jing felt his eyes blurred and he sat back in his original seat. Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion. But when he felt the fragrance of tea still lingering in his mouth and the spiritual energy of the spiritual spring water in his body, he realized that everything was real. At this time, a white-faced, beardless eunuch led a group of guards and hurried over. When he saw Duanmu Jing, he was overjoyed and rolled over and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, you scared me to death. Your presence suddenly disappeared and I couldn't find any trace of you. The whole palace was in chaos." Duanmu Jing snorted softly: "Why are you so flustered? What could possibly happen to me in this palace?" "Yes, yes, I was panicked and lost my composure. Your Majesty, please forgive me." Duanmu Jing stood up and looked in the direction of Daqian with his hands behind his back. This method is even more terrifying than what has been rumored. With a wave of the hand, one can cross thousands of miles. This heavily guarded palace is simply a joke.
"What a pity! Why did such a person happen to be born in Daqian instead of in my Great Zhou? Heaven is so unfair!" Duanmu Jing clenched his fists tightly. (End of this chapter)
