Chapter 2 The little one leaves home and the boss returns, no one in the world knows the king
The Emperor’s Hall is co-respected by the Kyushu, with a transcendent status, and one of its responsibilities is to mediate the forces of all parties, so as to avoid a deadly struggle between the cultivating forces and the loss of life.
Cultivating to the peak, one thought can overwhelm mountains and seas. If two people who cultivated to the peak fight for their lives, the harm it will bring to the mainland of Kyushu can be imagined.
There is such a case in history. At that time, the old emperor died and the new emperor had not yet been born. There was a conflict between the ancient religion and the imperial dynasty, which eventually turned into an irresolvable conflict.
It wasn't until the newcomer Huang Jiangli succeeded to the throne, and with the wishes of all sentient beings, beheaded the head of the ancient sect and the king of the dynasty, that the massacre of the Kyushu was quelled.
There are many dynasties and sects in the mainland of Kyushu, competing with each other and promoting each other. This is the policy set by the first emperor, and it is also the result of repeated deduction by successive emperors.
Immortal cultivators have a side that seeks longevity, but also have a brave and aggressive side. Blind suppression is not a long-term solution. It is necessary to give the cultivators a path to fight. Therefore, the Hall of Human Emperors did not suppress other forces.
It is also for this reason that there are so many countries in the Kyushu Continent.
Thousands of small countries and nine dynasties constitute the basic pattern of the mainland.
It can be called a great power dynasty if it has a national destiny of ten thousand years and lasts for a long time.
Jiang Li's hometown was located in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it was just an inconspicuous small town in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was located on a plain, with no beautiful scenery, and no mineral treasures.
In Jiang Li's memory, the strongest in the small county was only in the foundation building stage.
Jiang Yixing, who once had the opportunity to break through the golden core, is naturally considered a great genius.
…
Jiang Li stood at the gate of the city, staring blankly at Qingcheng, which was not at all similar to his memory.
The once small moss-covered Qingcheng disappeared, replaced by a towering city wall made of stainless steel and stone, and a gate that was large enough for a beast of any size to enter the city leisurely.
Young rangers roam the rivers and lakes, parents bring their children to soak up the aura of the Emperor, and practitioners hope that the Emperor will bless them to break through the bottleneck. All these lead to the humble Qingcheng becoming a low-key and rich city from the moment Jiangli became the Emperor.
Even the guards at the city gate are practitioners of the Golden Core stage.
Because of this, there are people coming and going at the gate of the city, which is extremely lively.
As soon as you enter Qingcheng, you will see a huge bronze statue. The statue is a majestic man, holding a halberd, and looking around, like a fairy patrolling the world.
It is the Emperor Jiangli.
I thought that coming back here was to "ask the guest where he came from with a smile", no one knew him, Jiang Li only wore a straw hat, and under the shadow of the straw hat was the real appearance that was the same as the bronze statue.
Who would have thought that the reality is that "no one in the world knows the king", but there are many people worshiping around the bronze statue, Jiang Li can feel the power of faith coming from the statue, he quickly changed his appearance with magic.
"Excuse me, where is the Jiang family?" Jiang Li asked a random person.
The man looked quite old, and he walked slowly.
"The young man came from another place. Who in Qingcheng doesn't know that the Jiang family is in the very center of Qingcheng, next to the City Lord's Mansion." The old man said with a smile, and pointed, "That's over there."
The old man's accent is very heavy, it is difficult for non-locals to understand, but Jiang Li is originally from Qingcheng, so it is not a big problem.
"I heard that the Jiang family was just a small family in the past, only located in a corner of Qingcheng. After Jiang Renhuang succeeded to the throne, monks kept coming here to explore the reasons why Jiang Renhuang became stronger. The Jiang family seized the opportunity and operated from it, becoming the largest family in Qingcheng in one fell swoop."
"Although the Jiang family did not move the house, with the expansion of Qingcheng, the location of the Jiang family has gradually become the most central place in Qingcheng."
The old man looked around and saw that there were too many people around him, so he pulled Jiang Li to the corner and said in a low voice, "There are rumors that the Jiang family controls the entire Qingcheng, and the Jiang family has the final say on who will be the city lord."
"The Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the country by law, how could this happen?"
Jiang Li shook his head, denying the old man's statement.
The royal family of the Great Zhou has intensively studied the way of time, can trace back time, and can tell the truth about everything. He has seen the previous generation and the current generation of the Great Zhou King, they all strictly followed the law and never overstepped.
Jiang Li has also traveled to Dazhou, seen the local customs and customs, and had disputes with local powers. The government came forward to settle the case based on the facts, and it was not biased because of the local powers of that person.
Among the nine great dynasties, only the Great Zhou Dynasty is particularly special. It binds the national destiny to the law and governs the country by law. If the monarch knows that someone violates the law and does not punish, the national destiny will be affected. In severe cases, the national destiny may even crush the monarch to death!
The rest of the dynasties advocate force, and the law is something that can be trampled on at will, either explicitly or secretly.
Jiang family can influence the city lord, he believes this, but it is unreasonable to say that whoever wants to be the lord can be the lord.
Jiang Li saw what the old man knew, and continued to ask: "Then Jiang Yixing, the ancestor of the Jiang family, is still alive, and what is his cultivation?"
"I don't know about that." The old man shook his head, "However, if you want to visit the Jiang family, you'd better wait for two days. Recently, the Jiang family worships the ancestors. The house will be closed for nine days and no outsiders will be seen. Today is the seventh day."
"I didn't expect to meet the ancestor worship once every ten years, and I don't know if my luck is good or not." Jiang Li laughed, the Jiang family did have a tradition of ancestor worship, once every ten years, his original owner was only eighteen years old when he died, and he had only experienced ancestor worship once.
The old man looked at Jiang Li strangely, and said slowly: "I heard from the older generation that the Jiang family first offered sacrifices every ten years. Since Emperor Jiang Ren took the throne three hundred years ago, ancestor worship has become more frequent, from once every ten years to once every five years, and now it's once every year."
The old man asked respectfully: "Senior, your cultivation level..."
To live for three hundred years, the cultivation base is at least the Nascent Soul stage.
Jiang Li smiled slightly, did not answer the old man's words, but thanked the old man, walked along the road to Jiang's mansion.
Jiang's closed the door and opened the formation, which is indeed a sign of closing the house to worship the ancestors.
Although protected by formations, and there are a few Jindan stage monks sitting in all directions, it is still easy for Jiang Li to get in.
As Jiang Renhuang, he would naturally be welcomed by the whole Jiang family, but Jiang Li didn't want to do this. He didn't like the Jiang family at all. He had never been back here since he left the Jiang family for 500 years.
Now that he reappears, the Jiang family will be so excited that they will take the opportunity to publicize it.
Jiang Li randomly cast a spell to hide his figure, and walked into Jiang's house swaggeringly.
