From many years ago, after Zhuge Longsu took over as Dean, ng Shanhe gradually faded from people's view.
Although the reputation of the Confucian Master continued to spread, wanting to truly see him was imnsely difficult.
Even for Zhuge Longsu, the heir and closest disciple, it was impossible to see ng Shanhe's true body, only conversing with an avatar.
An avatar ford from Vast Righteous Qi could display most of ng Shanhe's strength, and generally there was no problem that this avatar couldn't resolve.
But today, Feng Jiwu, who initially only wanted to retrieve the imperial decree, discovered ng Shanhe's earth-shattering secret.
He actually intended to create a Dragon Vein exclusive to Confucianism, a Will exclusive to the Confucian more.
With Feng Jiwu's familiarity with Emperor Martial Art, he was sure he couldn't be mistaken.
[What a good idea and ans, if ng Shanhe succeeds, as long as the Haqi River is undying, the Confucian inheritance wouldn't end. It is a foundation lasting through generations, comparable to the Dragon Vein.]
Unbeknownst, Qing Yu's Primordial Spirit had already possessed Feng Jiwu's body, seeing the abnormality of the Haqi River through his eyes.
Qing Yu thought of years ago when Lu Qifeng discovered the Mountain River Academy possessing Emperor Martial Art. Back then, Lu Qifeng was sure because of the pervasive Vast Righteous Qi in the academy that it contained Emperor Martial Art.
This ant ng Shanhe must have seen Emperor Martial Art.
At that ti, Qing Yu was curious about it too, wondering what magic door ng Shanhe had understood from Emperor Martial Art to cultivate it without being an emperor himself.
But as ti went by, Qing Yu grew stronger, losing interest in the matter's details.
Until today, due to Feng Jiwu's actions, the secret of the Haqi River finally unfolded before him.
ng Shanhe hadn't cultivated Emperor Martial Art, but using the concept of transforming earth veins into Dragon Veins described within, gradually accumulated the Haqi River from the academy's study atmosphere and Vast Qi left by students.
Then, integrating the Confucian Will into the river, spreading across the world, as long as there were scholars, the Vast Qi wouldn't end, nor would the Confucian inheritance.
Currently, the Haqi River could only exert its effects within the Mountain River Academy, but once ng Shanhe completely succeeds, it might rival the Dragon Vein spread throughout the world in the distant future.
[He truly is a Supre warrior. Everyone should be regarded with caution. Although ng Shanhe faced threats from Feng Tianming, and from you and , yet he always let things happen naturally. I thought it was a gentleman's deception with fairness, but now it seems the Haqi River is the main focus.] Qing Yu transmitted.
[A bit fortunate.] Feng Jiwu felt a sense of relief.
"Mountain Master ng, since you've co forward, please give a definite answer. The imperial decree is a must-have; no one can stop ." Feng Jiwu stated decisively.
Despite seeing ng Shanhe's complexity clearly, Feng Jiwu showed no sign of cowardice.
As he ntioned before, tis have changed. Today's Northern Zhou is not dominated by Mountain River Academy alone; whether it is the Four Demonic Sects with Yin Tianxia or the supre Qing Yu hadn't appeared, Feng Jiwu had enough confidence to confront ng Shanhe.
In any case, today Feng Jiwu was determined to retrieve the imperial decree.
The avatar in the sky transford into a stream of white vapor, drifting back into Wuya Inn, taking a human form again. ng Shanhe looked at Feng Jiwu's cold visage and said, "Your Majesty could practice Emperor Martial Art to such extent; I misunderstood. If you were given a few counties, reaching Ji Muqing's Realm wouldn't be impossible.
But, Your Majesty, you should feel the downside of Emperor Martial Art."
"Being assimilated by Human Dao Will?" Feng Jiwu asked.
"Not quite..."
ng Shanhe suddenly fell silent, changing to voice transmission, speaking with Feng Jiwu for quite so ti. After finishing, Feng Jiwu's face turned ashen, appearing extrely grim.
"Your Majesty only has Princess Feng Xi as a daughter now, right? If you were to et your end, who should inherit the throne?" ng Shanhe asked again.
His words tightened the expressions on Cold Eunuch and Feng Qiwu's faces, for they could discern that Feng Jiwu's fate seed sealed.
"What's going on, brother? What happened?" Feng Qiwu urgently inquired.
Indeed, he was a caring elder brother. Even though there was past animosity with Feng Jiwu, upon hearing of one remaining relative's plight, he wished for Feng Jiwu's survival.
But unfortunately, sotis circumstances aren't within one's control.
Feng Jiwu understood the danger of his situation very well but had no retreat. And being self-centered, despite feeling warmth from Feng Qiwu's concern, he didn't wish him to ascend the throne.
"I have made my decisions about this matter. At least in the coming years, I remain safe, and having a few offspring shouldn't be an issue. If ultimately I have no prince, supporting the Eighth Prince later wouldn't be too late.
No matter what, today I must retrieve the imperial decree."
With forceful words, the power of the vast country again clamped onto Feng Jiwu while he seed to possess another pair of pupils within his eyes, exuding ominous mystery.
Feng Jiwu was ready to seize forcibly, and with ng Shanhe's current status, even with Qing Yu's possession, he could still snatch the decree.
Seemingly sensing the opponent's determination, ng Shanhe, after a few monts of silence, waved his sleeve: "Enough, Longsu, hand the decree to His Majesty."
"Teacher..."
"This was just a precaution; there's no need for needless villainy." ng Shanhe spoke indifferently.
"Yes."
Zhuge Longsu gently gestured, a Phoenix Pattern scroll descended from the Haqi River; it was the sa decree Feng Jiwu handed over before.
Before the decree truly fell, Feng Jiwu raised his hand to snatch it. After verifying its authenticity, he shattered it with one palm, turning it into a dust cloud scattering in the wind.
"Mountain Master ng, Dean Zhuge, and brother, sorry for the disturbance. I'll be leaving so as not to impose on you further."
"Cold Eunuch, back to the palace."
Feng Jiwu was quite aware of his standing as a betrayer to Confucianism here, and upon achieving his aim, he retreated quickly.
However, the joy of achieving his goal couldn't soothe Feng Jiwu's mood now.
[Qing Yu, can you resist this Human Dao Will?]
In the carriage, Feng Jiwu transmitted his thoughts.
[Are you underestimating ? If not for hesitating to affect your consciousness, this level of Human Dao Will erosion wouldn't be an issue.] Qing Yu replied promptly.
In truth, the current stalemate was intentionally orchestrated by Qing Yu. If he chose, he could purge the Human Dao Will's erosion in one move. However, this would compromise Feng Jiwu's independent consciousness.
[Then I'll rely on you when the ti cos.] Feng Jiwu replied.
