Chapter 805: Chapter 755: Understand Your Own Position

The personal guidance of a Supre Strong, coupled with the opportunity to condense a Golden Core and embark on the Golden Core Dao, this new system that countless powerhouses revered, would tempt the vast majority of cultivators Between Heaven and Earth.

How could these courtiers of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty not be moved? After all, if they succeeded in securing a placent this ti, it might bring them a powerful aid.

But being moved is one thing; they also knew that they were not nearly enough to get in touch with Pei Xuanjing, let alone ask for a placent.

However, the current Emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty was completely qualified. Besides being the Lord of the Divine Dynasty, he was also a Registered Disciple of that real person.

“Hmm?” Zhu Houji sat high upon the Emperor’s throne, expressionless, remaining noncommittal even after hearing such a proposition.

Zhu Houji was actually sowhat dissatisfied with this matter. Naturally, he knew that if he spoke up, Pei Xuanjing would agree to his request out of face for him, but Zhu Houji was unwilling to make this request.

It wasn’t due to any issue with Pei Xuanjing, but rather dissatisfaction with his courtiers.

One must know that to this day, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s entanglent with Pei Xuanjing remained unresolved, and the influence Pei Xuanjing left within the Divine Dynasty could not yet be completely eradicated and weakened.

These courtiers kept petitioning Zhu Houji, lanting like cuckoos crying blood, displaying a loyalty to the sovereign and devotion to the state, tearfully telling Zhu Houji to be wary of the influence of Pei Xuanjing from the localities, to rember the influence he once had on the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, to stay vigilant against him, and to prevent the Divine Dynasty from being affected by him.

Yet now, upon seeing their interests involved, these people’s deanors instantly changed, as if they had forgotten their previous admonitions to be cautious of Pei Xuanjing, to be mindful not to let his influence affect the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.

Would they be able to maintain their stance after their descendants enter the Longevity World and receive guidance from Master Pei?

Definitely not. They previously urged Zhu Houji to keep his distance from Pei Xuanjing, but now they themselves would not miss the chance to be in contact with this Supre Strong if given the opportunity.

He turned to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites sitting below, Yan Weizhong, and asked, “What does Minister Yan think of this matter?”

“Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should just wait and see how the National Preceptor decides, rather than taking the initiative to inquire,” Yan Weizhong unreservedly expressed his attitude.

As a rising power of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty in recent years, Yan Weizhong’s influence had grown increasingly great; although he still held the office of Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he had also entered the Cabinet.

The reason Yan Weizhong had increasingly gained the Emperor’s favor and reliance over the years, apart from his own abilities, was because he understood the Emperor’s intentions, knew what the Emperor wanted to do, and was willing to act for the Emperor without caring about others’ opinions.

Hearing the Emperor’s direct inquiry, Yan Weizhong imdiately understood the Emperor’s view on the matter that had just occurred. The Emperor was unwilling to adopt this suggestion; otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked him, and there would have been no need for him to speak out.

Therefore, the mont he spoke, he made a decision and gave the Emperor a reason, a pretext to reject, allowing the Emperor to dismiss the matter.

Of course, Yan Weizhong knew what this move represented and that it would provoke much dissatisfaction and envy from his colleagues, but he did not care at all and was completely fearless.

For years, to gain the Emperor’s favor and grace, the things he had done had already incited the envy of countless others, yet he still lived well, better than many.

He was clear on what his foundation was – the trust and favor of the Emperor. As long as he had the Emperor’s favor and did not lose his grace, he would be able to stay powerful within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. But if he lost the Emperor’s trust and grace, then he would no longer be able to stand in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, nor would he be able to stand Between Heaven and Earth.

Thus, rather than being frightened and cautious of the envy and dissatisfaction of those colleagues, he readily accepted it; after all, sotis the more power one holds, the less amicable one’s relations with colleagues should be, as it can easily provoke the envy of those above.

“Since the National Preceptor has currently only summoned the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect and those from the Taoist Academy and has only selected a portion of disciples, it is enough proof that the National Preceptor has his considerations. If we rashly inquire now, we might affect the National Preceptor’s plan…” Yan Weizhong continued to supply his reasoning, valid enough that even if others heard it and knew he was deliberately blocking the matter, they were unable to argue further.

Moreover, Yan Weizhong’s words were not unfounded. The people Pei Xuanjing had summoned were under his command, and selection had been made, suggesting that he might not have full confidence yet or had so reservations, which resulted in such a tactic.

One must realize that, given the character of this National Preceptor, since he had been openly sharing his entire practice skill without reservation for so many years, this proved he was not a person to hoard secrets. Once he had perfected this skill and had gained sothing from it, he would inevitably publicize the outco.

It was precisely for this reason that even though many cultivators envied the opportunity granted to the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect and the Taoist Academy, they were not eager nor did anyone rashly beg to be included.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the outco of this matter. If Pei Xuanjing really could help so many people switch their Cultivation successfully and condense Golden Cores to embark on the Golden Core Dao, it would an he had mastered the thod and it was maturing.

In such a case, waiting ant that Pei Xuanjing would inevitably make this result public later on, allowing everyone to choose whether to practice or not; it was rely a matter of sooner or later, so there was no need to be too eager, only to wait patiently.

“Minister Yan’s words are not without rit. Since the National Preceptor has made a decision, the rest of you may simply wait,” Zhu Houji thought and smiled internally, but his expression remained calm as he spoke.

Still, to placate these people, he added, “Of course, if any of you are certain of your own thods, you may find your own way to secure a placent. I will certainly not bla you.”

Even though he had blocked this matter, Zhu Houji did not entirely close the discussion but instead gave them a chance to choose.

It was impossible for to advocate for you all, but if you are capable enough to find a way and secure a placent on your own, then I would not mind.

Under such circumstances, the courtiers of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty could not say much more, and none were foolish enough to persist. The Emperor’s attitude had been quite clear, and to continue pressing the issue would only be troubleso for themselves.
