Chapter 164: Chapter 164: The Royal Ji Family
Taisu Sect.
The entire sect''s Grand Hall was enveloped in a suppressive atmosphere.
The previously exalted Master Taixuan of the Taisu Sect now also bore a somber and unsightly expression.
"To prohibit the Evil Spirits in Guangyang Prefecture and even forbid Magicians from all over the world to enter Guangyang Prefecture, this person is really audacious!"
Master Taixuan''s voice was ice cold.
In the battle at Guangyang Prefecture, although other sects suffered losses, Taisu Sect had not only lost a group of disciples, but had also lost an elder who was half a step into the Transformation Realm.
Such an action,
In Master Taixuan''s eyes, was a slap in the face of the Taisu Sect.
If it had been any other time, Master Taixuan would not have swallowed this insult.
But now—
Despite the fury in his heart, Master Taixuan did not actually give the order to directly attack Guangyang Prefecture.
After all,
A formidable contender on par with the Martial Ancestors is not so simple to deal with.
"It is said that the one in Guangyang Prefecture has even slain the Evil Spirit carried by Gu Yutian, shattering the legend of the indestructible Evil Spirit. If this person can truly achieve this, our status might be affected!"
One of the Taisu Sect''s elders said with a grave expression.
Magicians could flourish, both because they had long lifespans and because Martial Artists struggled to deal with Evil Spirits.
If Martial Artists had the ability to resolve Evil Spirits, then the significance of Magicians would naturally be impacted.
Master Taixuan''s expression had now returned to indifference: "What the world pursues is nothing more than longevity. Even if one is on par with the Martial Ancestors, their life is merely limited to a mere two thousand years."
"One in the God Fusion Realm may live for fifteen hundred years, while those in the Transformation Realm can live for three thousand years. If one can break through to the Divinity Realm, they can live for five thousand years!"
"Rumour has it that beyond the Divinity Realm lies the secret to true eternal life."
"With this point alone, Martial Artists will never be able to shake the position of Magicians!"
Master Taixuan knew well that the growth of Magicians was not due to the many people caring for the world''s citizens, wishing to Refine Evil into their bodies, and consuming demons with their flesh.
The true root of the Magicians'' growth lies solely in the two words: longevity.
Although it is said,
Since the emergence of Magicians, the strongest have been in the Divinity Realm.
The so-called eternal immortality is only found in rumours.
But,
Rumours are still rumours.
There is always that sliver of a chance.
In contrast,
The lifespan limitation of Martial Artists is a well-known issue.
"Currently, the Supreme Elder has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, aiming to break through to the Divinity Realm. As long as the Supreme Elder is successful, mere Martial Artists will be insignificant!"
Inside the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Ji Chunqiu of the Taixuan Dynasty was draped in dragon robes, seated upright, facing an old countenance and emitting an aura of late twilight all over.
And before him, there was a memorial sent from Qingyun State, the contents of which were related to Guangyang Prefecture.
"Domineering Blade Gu Qingfeng!"
"One slash killed the Sect Master Gu Yutian of the Tianyang Sword Sect, Martial Arts Cultivation reached Divinity, suspected to be on par with the Martial Ancestor from ten thousand years ago!"
"Furthermore, this person also possesses the means to eradicate Evil Spirits—"
After Ji Chunqiu read the memorial for a long time, he finally exhaled deeply, passing the memorial to others in the Imperial Study Room.
The vast Imperial Study Room.
There was not only Ji Chunqiu alone; several imperial descendants were also sitting upright with dignity.
They all took turns looking at the memorial, their expressions involuntarily changing.
"Father Emperor, is this message truly real?"
The one speaking was the current Crown Prince, Ji Zhen''an.
Ji Chunqiu indifferently said, "This message should be true. Back then, when that Martial Ancestor spread his teachings across the world, it was said that he was a supreme being who broke the limits of the Great Grandmasters.
However, since the Martial Ancestor passed away, no one in the world has been able to step into such a realm again."
"I did not expect that Guangyang Prefecture could still produce such a strong person!"
As he spoke.
Ji Chunqiu''s tone also held a hint of emotion.
The emergence of a strong person comparable to the Martial Ancestor, how could it let his heart remain calm.
Upon hearing this.
Ji Zhen''an carefully asked, "Does Father Emperor intend to recruit this person?"
"Indeed!"
Ji Chunqiu nodded.
"Although our royal family originates from the Ji Family, the dynasty cycles every three thousand years, which is a fate no one can resist. The former dynasty relied on its foundations to forcibly extend its reign by six hundred years, but in the end, it could not escape the doom of destruction."
"Currently, as numerous heroes vie for Zhongzhou, seeking to destroy the foundations of Taixuan, once the dynasty falls, you will also have no chance of survival!"
Such words may sound cruel, but that is the reality.
The Grand Ancestor of the Taixuan Dynasty actually came from a collateral line of the Ji Family, supported by the Ji Family, and thus was able to vie for domination under the heavens, eventually establishing the Taixuan Dynasty.
Over the years.
The Taixuan Dynasty has continuously provided resources to the Ji Family.
But now that the three thousand-year term has come to an end, the Ji Family no longer protects the Taixuan Dynasty.
And without the protection of the Immortal Family, the demise of the Taixuan Dynasty is imminent.
To this.
Ji Chunqiu was naturally unwilling to accept it.
