Capítulo 614: Chapter 614: Li Si
"Lu Jianping, oversee the trajectory of Lingxiao Heavenly Court's operation. Ensure there are no mistakes!" Zhong Shan commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured. The operation of Lingxiao Heavenly Court is based on the positioning of the stars. As long as the stars remain unchanged, Lingxiao Heavenly Court will not deviate from its path!" Lu Jianping replied respectfully.
"Good, you may go," Zhong Shan nodded.
"Yes!" Lu Jianping responded immediately.
"Zhao Suoxiang!" Zhong Shan called.
"At your service!" Zhao Suoxiang responded promptly.
"The flight speed of Lingxiao Heavenly Court is not fast. Along the way, it will inevitably pass through some imperial dynasties. The safety of the journey is your responsibility!" Zhong Shan ordered.
"Understood!" Zhao Suoxiang replied with a respectful tone.
Zhong Shan then turned to look at the Mud Buddha.
"Chief of the Celestial Supervisor, Mud Buddha!" Zhong Shan addressed the Mud Buddha again.
"At your service!" The Mud Buddha bowed.
"Integrate the Daming Sect into the Great Ying's state religion. Before arriving in Qingzhou, prepare a complete plan for all site selection and feng shui matters!" Zhong Shan ordered.
"Your Majesty!" The Mud Buddha stepped forward.
"Hmm?" Zhong Shan looked at the Mud Buddha in confusion.
"The Daming Sect cultivates the accumulation of yin virtue, while our Great Ying dynasty cultivates merit and fame. These are clearly two different systems. Forcing integration may lead to future conflicts. There have been such examples in history. Even now, none of the sects and dynasties that belong to each other have a sect established within a dynasty. Such conflicts would be detrimental to both the development of the dynasty and the growth of the sect!" The Mud Buddha advised.
"Just handle the site selection and feng shui. As for the purpose, you will understand in due time," Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Yes!" The Mud Buddha nodded in agreement. The advice was given, but if Zhong Shan did not adopt it, there was nothing more to be done. Moreover, Zhong Shan's shrewdness had never led to a wrong decision.
In matters of worldly affairs, the Mud Buddha knew he was no match for Zhong Shan and decided not to dwell on the issue.
State religion? Daming Sect?
With all arrangements in place, Zhong Shan patiently awaited the flight of Lingxiao Heavenly Court. Qingzhou was quite far from here, and with the slow speed of Lingxiao Heavenly Court, it would take at least two years to arrive.
Moreover, with everything already arranged, Zhong Shan had no other concerns.
As Lingxiao Heavenly Court took off, a group of flood dragons was left in frustration.
Under the command of their leader, the group of flood dragons followed from afar. The leader stayed in that icy region, staring at the icy plain and the center where earth's yin energy continuously surged. The leader's facial muscles twitched incessantly.
This was too much! Too ruthless! They had severed the earth's meridians!
The flood dragon leader did not know that these meridians had been broken long ago!
Dragon Supreme, Ao Sihai, upon receiving the news, rushed towards the former direction of Heavenly Wolf Island, stirring a massive wave across the ocean.
It wasn't long before he arrived at the previous location of Heavenly Wolf Island.
Upon reaching the distant icy plain, Ao Sihai raised an eyebrow. Am I lost?
Ao Sihai was filled with confusion. Lost? How could I get lost on the ocean?
If not lost, then what is this? How is there an icy plain here?
Fortunately, Ao Sihai spotted the flood dragon; otherwise, he might have doubted whether he had lost his sense of direction.
"Whoosh!"
Ao Sihai suddenly appeared in front of the flood dragon.
"Greetings, Supreme!" All the dragons immediately bowed.
"What happened? Where is Heavenly Wolf Island?" Ao Sihai asked, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Heavenly Wolf Island! Seeing this group of dragons, Ao Sihai confirmed that this was originally where Heavenly Wolf Island should be. But what happened? How did it suddenly change? How was it replaced by an icy plain?
"It flew away!" The flood dragon said immediately.
Ao Sihai's face darkened. "..."
Seeing that the Supreme was about to get angry, the flood dragon quickly added, "Supreme, it's true. Just now, Heavenly Wolf Island severed the earth's meridians and really flew away."
The flood dragon's panicked explanation calmed Ao Sihai's anger, making him furrow his brows.
"What exactly happened? Tell me everything from the beginning," Ao Sihai said solemnly.
"Yes!" The flood dragon immediately complied, recounting the entire event of Heavenly Wolf Island taking flight from start to finish.
The more Ao Sihai listened, the deeper his frown became.
After listening, Ao Sihai took a deep breath, looking into the distance with a complex expression. His eyes flickered with a mix of emotions before they settled into a determined look. With a flash of his figure, Ao Sihai disappeared from the spot.
Lingxiao Heavenly Court slowly flew towards the land of Shenzhou.
The next afternoon, Zhong Shan was discussing the site selection for the state religion with the Mud Buddha. Suddenly, both of their pupils contracted.
The two quickly flew out of the hall and ascended into the sky, looking at the unexpected visitor.
"Who goes there?" Zhao Suoxiang pointed his spear.
Even though Zhao Suoxiang's cultivation was far inferior to Ao Sihai's, his indomitable spirit made him shout at the intruder.
Zhong Shan appeared and waved his hand at Zhao Suoxiang. Zhao Suoxiang nodded and stepped aside. Then, Di Xuansha suddenly appeared beside Zhong Shan. They both looked at the newcomer.
The visitor had come for the second time. The last time, he was forced away by Di Xuansha. This time, he had charged in again.
Ao Sihai!
"Di Xuansha, such audacity! Turning such a massive Heavenly Wolf Island into a floating island?" Ao Sihai coldly eyed Di Xuansha, thinking he was the one responsible.
"This is no longer Heavenly Wolf Island. Starting from yesterday, what you see here is renamed 'Lingxiao Heavenly Court,' the capital of the Great Ying Dynasty," Zhong Shan said coldly.
Last time, Zhong Shan's cultivation was far inferior to Ao Sihai's, and he was suppressed by his aura. But this time, although Zhong Shan was still not as powerful as Ao Sihai, he could face him calmly.
"Lingxiao Heavenly Court? Capital? Such arrogance! So, you did this?" Ao Sihai sneered.
"Ao Sihai, this is the second time you've come uninvited. Although my Great Ying is just a dynasty, it is not a place for you to act recklessly!" Zhong Shan said sternly.
"Act recklessly? Hmph, just you?" Ao Sihai said coldly.
"And what of it? Heavenly extreme realm experts have fallen at my hands; you're no different!" Zhong Shan replied coldly.
"Uh?" Ao Sihai was momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend.
"Hahahahaha, what a joke! Heavenly extreme realm experts fallen at your hands? Are you gilding yourself?" Ao Sihai laughed heartily, clearly not believing Zhong Shan.
It wasn't Ao Sihai's fault for his ignorance; the news of Zhong Shan defeating Nu Qinghui in Ice City likely hadn't reached him yet, let alone the defeat of Wang Ku.
"Hmph!" Zhong Shan sneered.
"Ao Sihai, have you forgotten what I told you last time?" Di Xuansha said coldly.
"Words? Di Xuansha, I've tolerated you long enough. Do you think you can disregard everyone else just because of your strength? Hmph, there are many in this world stronger than you. Today, you must hand over Hao Meili!" Ao Sihai said icily.
"Hmph!" Zhong Shan snorted.
"Even if Hao Meili were still in Lingxiao Heavenly Court, do you think you could make me hand her over?" Zhong Shan said coldly.
"You!" Ao Sihai was clearly taken aback by Zhong Shan's words.
In Ao Sihai's eyes, Zhong Shan was definitely not his match and was just boasting. But it was exactly this kind of boasting that was most infuriating.
"Ao Sihai, it seems my name, Di Xuansha, has been forgotten by your Dragon Clan. Since you've come again, don't blame me for not giving you face. Today, I'll leave you with a lasting impression!" Di Xuansha said coldly.
With that, Di Xuansha moved.
"Boom!"
A tremendous noise echoed as the space rippled. Di Xuansha and Ao Sihai disappeared from everyone's sight, clearly indicating that Di Xuansha had forced Ao Sihai out of the sensitive area of Lingxiao Heavenly Court.
Seeing Di Xuansha and Ao Sihai disappear, Zhong Shan turned to the others and said, "Old Zhao, take care of things here. Mud Buddha, let's continue our discussion."
"Yes!" everyone responded respectfully.
Not long after, Di Xuansha returned. Naturally, there was no need to report to Zhong Shan. He went directly back to the Wolf God Hall to rest.
Over the East Sea, in the sky above a certain area, Ao Sihai's armor had numerous cracks, and a large bloodstain marred his face. He looked exceptionally disheveled, his eyes bloodshot as he stared in the direction Lingxiao Heavenly Court had gone.
"Bah!" Ao Sihai spat out a mouthful of clotted blood.
Then, with a flicker, Ao Sihai disappeared from the spot.
A month and a half later, Ao Sihai appeared in the land of Shenzhou, heading straight for the Great Qin Dynasty! The Holy Capital of Xianyang!
In the Holy Capital of Xianyang, the imperial capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, golden rays of fortune shone brightly.
After the court assembly, Ao Sihai was granted an audience with the Emperor of Great Qin, Ying.
Ying, dressed in a black imperial robe adorned with dragon patterns and wearing a pitch-black flat-topped crown, sat on the Nine-Dragon Throne, exuding an invisible aura of majesty.
Beside Ying were several people, all standing respectfully on either side, clearly trusted ministers. Among these ministers, even the Heavenly Extreme realm expert Xu Fu was not present, indicating that these individuals were even more important than Xu Fu.
"Lingxiao Heavenly Court? Zhong Shan?" Ying frowned slightly.
"Yes, the heirloom seal of my Dragon Clan is in Hao Meili's possession. I believe you know about the heirloom seal?" Ao Sihai said solemnly.
"Indeed, the heirloom seal is said to be the key to a secret realm of the Dragon Clan in the Great Thousand World. It has always been hidden in this small world," Ying nodded.
Hearing Ying's words, Ao Sihai's eyes widened in disbelief. How could Ying know? How could he possibly know? This was a secret of the Dragon Clan known only to the Supreme. According to reason, Ying should have only heard of the heirloom seal, not that the secret realm was in the Great Thousand World.
"How do you know?" Ao Sihai asked in shock.
"Is this a secret?" Ying looked at Ao Sihai with a calm gaze, as if it were a trivial matter.
Ao Sihai looked at Ying strangely, suppressing his surprise.
"I request the Emperor of Great Qin to help the Dragon Clan retrieve the heirloom seal!" Ao Sihai said again.
"Li Si!" Ying called out.
"At your service!"
From beside him, a slightly gaunt man in loose robes stepped out respectfully.
