Chapter 553: Chapter 501: The Worries and Fears of the Ancient Country’s Monarch

“Indeed, the Divine Dynasty has resurfaced in our Ancestral Land, and Ying Zhong led his men to the celebration ceremony of the Imperial City of this new Divine Dynasty on the day of its ascension, intending to seize the Qi Luck and steal the Golden Book and Jade Scroll. He did not anticipate the presence of a powerful being in the Divine Dynasty, who killed him on the spot.” King Yuan sighed as he slowly spoke.

He had paid a significant price at the Sky Mechanism Pavilion to gain knowledge regarding Ying Zhong and others’ demise in the Ancestral Land and to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

Upon hearing about these events, King Yuan understood their gravity and, considering its significance, didn’t dare to make a decision lightly. He had no option but to return to the Imperial City at once to meet the king and inform him about everything.

“How foolish it was – arrogant and presumptuous. Opting to return at such a time was a mistake.” King Ying Lie murmured after a moment, scolding angrily.

He had some understanding of Ying Zhong who was born into the royal family. He had initially thought that Ying Zhong was merely arrogant but hadn’t realized that he could be so presumptuous.

A Divine Dynasty ascended in the Ancestral Land – such a significant event – yet they didn’t ensure everything is settled before acting. Their rash actions not only led to their own death but also ruined the plans of the ancient country.

They should know the cost of sending a Spirit Realm Sixth Level Great Cultivator back to the Ancestral Land, even an ancient country like theirs can’t afford to waste such resources.

Moreover, the Ancestral Land has only been revived for over a decade, yet a royal empire has already ascended to the Divine Dynasty. Whether it’s a coincidence or there’s someone facilitating it from behind the scenes, it implies that there’s a significant force behind it. Even powerful entities like him should approach it with caution, let alone a mere Spirit Realm Sixth Level Cultivator like him.

“Divine Dynasty, after thousands of years, I hear this name once again, and at such a time,” Ying Lie exclaimed, looking at King Yuan, “Don’t you think this is too much of a coincidence?”

A Divine Dynasty has become a taboo in the Sky Wasteland, no one dares to mention it, and no force dares to show the intention of promoting themselves to the Divine Dynasty. Once exposed, they are bound to face a joint attack from various forces.

In Ying Lie’s memory, the last Divine Dynasty he had seen was during the final glorious era of the Ancestral Land. Even amidst a widespread disaster, the Tang Dynasty had managed to demonstrate its power, leaving a deep impression on him.

“At such a coincidental time, a Divine Dynasty has ascended in the Ancestral Land which has only revived a dozen years ago. If you tell me there’s no one backing this, I wouldn’t believe it,” King Yuan said. However, he expressed his doubt, “But according to the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, they don’t seem to have discovered any external meddling.”

As Ying Lie mentioned the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, he scoffed and spoke, “Although the Sky Mechanism Pavilion won’t sell false information, it doesn’t mean they will tell you the complete truth. If they withhold some parts, the resulting picture could be entirely different.”

Even as powerful as it is, the Sky Mechanism Pavilion is just one of the top forces. If the individuals behind this have extraordinary origins, the Sky Mechanism Pavilion would also remain silent and not leak any information lightly.

He said solemnly, “Remember, you can trust what Sky Mechanism Pavilion tells you, but you should never trust them completely.”

King Yuan tensed up, immediately understanding the king’s meaning.

He asked, “What should we do next?”

The plan was to clarify the situation and send people to continue the return, then wait for the right time.

The fact that they knew about this also means other forces probably know about the ascension to the Divine Dynasty too.

However, despite such significant happenings, all the forces in the Sky Wasteland remained oddly quiet, as if they didn’t know anything about it. This seemed very strange.

The king said, “We will proceed as planned, acting as if we know nothing.”

“Yes!”, King Yuan nodded and left.

In the quiet and empty palace, King Ying Lie muttered, “Shenxiao Sect, Pei Xuanjing, what are your origins? And which top force is making their move with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty?”

The ascension of a Divine Dynasty is not simple, and Pei Xuanjing from the Ancestral Land gaining such power in such a short time definitely hides a big secret.

All these situations combined, Ying Lie could not help but suspect that an individual or force was behind this.

The ancient Jiang Country, with its long history, had been through many Divine Dynasty ascents. So, he was well aware that many top forces would have positioned themselves well in advance, realizing the immense benefits of aiding a Divine Dynasty’s ascension.

Moreover, with the rumored emergence of a chance to Become Immortal after the revival of the Ancestral Land, the land had undoubtedly drawn the attention of countless powerful forces. Perhaps someone wanted to stir up the waters and sneak away with an advantage.

“However, no matter what, the first thing I have to ensure is the smooth passing of power in our ancient Jiang Country,” he thought to himself.

In a significant period, even the top forces could decline and perish, let alone the ancient Jiang Country?

“I must admit, Xue Country got lucky this time. That old guy would probably laugh himself to death if he knew,” he thought, remembering the relations between Xue Country and the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. He felt even more annoyed with Ying Zhong.

Divine Dynasty is a taboo, Divine Dynasty is feared.

Yes, this is indeed the rule of Sky Wasteland.

But remember, this rule was made by top forces and the most powerful beings of the Nine Realms of Spirit. The appearance of a Divine Dynasty in the Ancestral Land might annoy them, and they might aim for the Divine Dynasty when they descend.

But this is their business, their thinking. It’s absolutely not something that forces like the ancient Jiang Country should worry about.

If this Divine Dynasty failed to ascend, that would be one thing. But, now that the Great Ming Divine Dynasty has successfully ascended, there should be no more aggression.

After all, any Divine Dynasty that achieves successful ascension would be teeming with Qi Luck at its inception. Favored by Heaven and Earth, they would be unstoppable, and even the top forces wouldn’t dare to mess easily. If you could build a good relationship with this Divine Dynasty, you could gain some benefits.

But now Ying Zhong’s actions have gone ahead and sown seeds of hatred between them before they’ve even met, which could place them in an awkward position in the future.

On the other hand, the Xue Country seemed to have caught a lucky break.

Of course, if the ruler of Jiang Country knew that the people of Xue Country had arrived in the Ancestral Land, he would be even more shocked.

Back then, in the Ancestral Land, at the Great Ming Divine Dynasty in Tiandu, Taoist Academy.

The strong man from the ancient Da Xue Country, King Xue Renfang, appeared with a smile on his face. He had no trace of arrogance from being in a high position and spoke to Pei Xuanjing in a gentle manner.

“Please,” Pei Xuanjing looked at him with no surprise on his face, smiling as he said.

The two of them walked into the courtyard that Pei Xuanjing had in the Taoist Academy together.
