#2695 - The more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more interesting he becomes.
In the end, Jun Wu Xie went to the imperial palace and meticulously reviewed all the political affairs handled by the court officials in the years following Ji Yinlan's departure.
The court officials of the dynasty quietly accompanied him, not daring to make a sound, their hearts filled with apprehension, sweat beading on their foreheads.
They were terrified that they might have mishandled something, displeasing the Jun God.
The officials carefully observed his every micro-expression.
Seeing his serious expression gradually relax from the beginning to the end of reviewing the political documents, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the Jun God was not dissatisfied with their handling of political affairs.
"Very good. Over the years, you have handled the imperial affairs in an orderly manner, steadily progressing in strict accordance with the imperial development outline formulated by Yinlan. The flexible handling of some special events can also be considered perfect. You have worked hard."
"Your Majesty, we are terrified!
To serve the Jun God and the dynasty, dedicating our all, is our heart's desire and our unwavering initial aspiration!
We will certainly uphold the will of the Jun God and do our utmost to make the dynasty better and better, to make this prosperous age even more glorious, so as not to betray the bloody battles fought by the Jun God in those years, and not to betray the countless sacrificed soldiers!"
"You have spoken well.
We who survived the apocalypse must do everything we do to be worthy of the soldiers who sacrificed in those years, and not let their blood be shed in vain.
These hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers, this prosperous world, were exchanged for by the blood and lives of countless heroic people of all races."
"Jun God, we implore..."
The eyes of the officials were red-rimmed, but before they could finish speaking, Jun Wu Xie interrupted them, "Each performs their duties. Your responsibility is to manage the dynasty well, maintain order for the endless beings in the lower realm, seek welfare, and ensure that their living environment steadily improves.
Going to the apocalyptic battlefield to kill dark creatures is not what you should do."
"But..."
"There are no buts. This is an order.
I know that even though the lower realm apocalypse has been over for nearly ten thousand years, you, who have experienced the apocalypse, still harbor a burning hatred for dark creatures in your hearts, wanting to kill more dark creatures to avenge those who sacrificed in those years.
But the dynasty needs people to manage it, and fighting is not your responsibility.
The armies and powerful individuals of all races who have grown up under your rule also have a share of your credit for going to the battlefield to kill enemies, so there is no need to be obsessed with this."
"What the Jun God says is extremely true. We were being narrow-minded.
Jun God, we have an idea, but we don't know if we should speak it."
"If you have any ideas, just say them."
"We believe that now that the Jun God is the master of the Three Realms, the Three Realms are still separate.
Although the Jun God has created dynasties in each realm, the soldiers and civilians of each dynasty have never been able to perfectly integrate.
The environment of the Three Realms is also different.
If we could integrate the Three Realms into one, would that be better?"
"Your idea is very good. I have already considered this matter.
The integration of the Three Realms is inevitable, but now is not a good time.
It will not be too late to integrate the four realms together when I integrate the Hongmeng Great World.
At that time, I will also be able to obtain more source power to improve the environment of the Great World.
Integrating too early will only make the darkness more fearful.
Now, the environment of our realms is already quite good, what we lack is time for development.
It is not advisable to push the darkness to a certain extent too early, lest it lead to complications and hinder our development instead."
"The Jun God is wise, and his thoughts are comprehensive. We have a low vision and see things superficially."
… …
After checking the political affairs handled over the years, Jun Wu Xie returned to the Zhuxian Sword Sect.
He went to the back mountain and saw the Ancestral Master and Ancestral Master's wife.
Although it was already night, the Ancestral Master and Ancestral Master's wife were still in that pavilion.
When they saw him, they smiled, obviously having been waiting here for a long time.
"The ancient flood of the apocalypse is about to come, and Wu Xie is becoming more and more stable now.
With your strength, dealing with the flood of the apocalypse in the ancient times should be much easier than it was in the upper realm."
As soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, the Phoenix Empress mentioned the flood of the apocalypse.
Unlike in the past.
In the past, when the Phoenix Empress mentioned the flood of the apocalypse, there was always a hint of worry between her eyebrows, worrying about him.
But this time, her expression seemed much more relaxed.
"What the Ancestral Master's wife said is correct. With my current strength, when the dark world attacks, if there are no accidents, there should be no pressure in terms of my personal combat.
It's just that the flood of the apocalypse is vast in scale, sweeping across a realm, the battlefield is vast, and there are many battle lines.
No matter how strong I am, I cannot take care of all the battle lines and major battlefields in the ancient times at the same time.
A large amount of bloodshed and sacrifice is inevitable.
Except for the Xuanjia, the battle damage will inevitably not be low. Overall, there will still be countless beings sacrificed in this dark sweeping torrent."
"That's true. After all, it's a realm war, and it's a world-destroying war. This scale is too large, and the battlefield is too vast.
The bloodshed of all beings is unavoidable, and it is the price that every world must pay when faced with the most vicious darkness invasion.
As long as the result is good, and the ancient world can be defended in the end, and the invaders can be swept away, then the blood of all beings will not be shed in vain."
"Wu Xie, don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself.
The Ancestral Master knows that you in this life are very different from you in your previous life in terms of state of mind.
In your previous life, you carried responsibility and burden, and this life is also the same.
And in this life, because you grew up in the mortal world, you don't see the life and death of all beings as lightly as you did in your previous life.
It can be seen from your treatment of the fallen soldiers.
Sacrifice is inevitable, this is the destiny of all beings in the Ming universe, and there is no escape.
This is a very cruel reality, and it is also a reality that must be faced."
"To say that there is no psychological pressure at all, I really can't do it, but it won't have any impact on me, so the Ancestral Master can rest assured.
I just want to reduce casualties as much as possible.
After all, on some battlefields, once there is a complete defeat, the darkness will have enough time to obtain the origin of the sacrificed warriors.
This is their ultimate goal, and I cannot let them succeed, otherwise it will increase the strength of the Dark Ancestor, which will bring them closer to their goal, and will be detrimental to the final battle against the Dark Ancestor."
"Alas, according to this progress, the time to confront the Dark Ancestor will be much shorter than we previously estimated.
We also have to work hard, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help you much in the future.
Even though I and your Ancestral Master's wife have now entered the Heavenly Emperor realm.
But the path of cultivation is really too long and distant.
It is only this Heavenly Emperor realm that makes me and your Ancestral Master's wife unable to see the end.
Don't be afraid of you laughing at us.
Since stepping into this realm, your Ancestral Master and I have become even more confused than before.
The front is hazy.
It is clear that we already know how to walk the path of this realm, but we can never see far, we can only see the nearest scenery, and further away is all mist, as if there is no way forward, only unknown confusion and nothingness… …
Wu Xie, please enlighten your Ancestral Master and Ancestral Master's wife. Is our current state of mind and feeling about the Heavenly Emperor realm normal?
Or is it that our state of mind has deviated in some sense?"
Tian Jianyi was a little dazed at this time, looking around in the Heavenly Emperor realm, all was hazy, and even his Dao heart gave birth to a kind of negative emotion.
He knew that he could not be like this, the Heavenly Emperor Dao heart should be incomparably firm, but it was difficult to do.
The mysterious artistic conception of this realm seemed to be quietly affecting his state of mind at all times.
"Ancestral Master and Ancestral Master's wife do not need to worry about this.
This is a very normal thing. Those who have just entered the Heavenly Emperor realm, except for very few extremely amazing people, or those who grew up beside the Heavenly Emperor since childhood, will encounter such problems.
Above the Heavenly Emperor realm, although there is still the Wudao realm of transcendence and the eternal and free realm of ultimate transcendence.
But the Heavenly Emperor realm is already the ultimate path of cultivation for countless amazing talents in the world.
This realm is mysterious, domineering, and lofty.
When you first enter this realm, you naturally cannot see far when you look at the road ahead.
When you reach this realm, every breakthrough in a small realm is a huge transformation of oneself.
With your initial state of entering the Heavenly Emperor realm, how far can you see? What you see is naturally hazy mist, and you will also be affected by the mysterious and domineering Dao realm behind this realm.
As time goes by, the longer you stay in this realm, the more you will slowly get used to it, and the less and less you will be affected.
You don't need to think about anything else, just need to be firm on the road under your feet, the road you can currently see, and walk down step by step, and you will find that as long as you are not eager for quick success and instant benefits, as long as your Dao heart is like a rock, the road under your feet will also be as firm as a rock and unshakable, and every step will be steady.
The strong in the Heavenly Emperor realm, only those who cannot break through the next method of the Great Dao of Silence and stay in the current realm forever, have their Dao heart stained because of the aspects you are worried about.
Once a Heavenly Emperor, always a Heavenly Emperor, and will never fall from the realm due to self-cultivation.
The road to the Great Dao of Silence is long, and it is extremely difficult for the Heavenly Emperors who have never walked this road.
In the world, Heavenly Emperors, throughout the ages, have mostly found it difficult to complete the nine sacrifices and ascend to the peak of this realm.
Relying on oneself to explore, the road is difficult and long, and it is common to be unable to break through in one's lifetime.
Although the Heavenly Emperor has long been free from the passage of time, has an endless lifespan, and the blood will never dry up due to natural years, and will always remain in a prime state.
But this vast world is not peaceful, there are always changes, and there are always disasters coming."
"Yes, so there is a trace of worry in our hearts.
The time left for us is not much.
It may seem like a long time, but this long time is actually very short in terms of the entire vast world, and in terms of the strong in the Heavenly Emperor realm.
“ Ancestor and Ancestral Mother want to ask you to clear up our doubts, may we? ”
“ Has the law of the Ancestor and Ancestral Mother been perfected after entering the Heavenly Emperor realm? ”
Heavenly Sword One and Phoenix Master nodded, indicating that the law had been upgraded to the Heavenly Emperor Law after being perfected and refined.
“Since that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.
The doubts in the hearts of the Ancestor and Ancestral Mother should not be resolved by me.
You are already Heavenly Emperors, you should resolve your own doubts.
I can give you some insights and understanding, you can use this as a reference, study it yourself, and come to your own understanding, this is the most correct way.
Having reached this realm, the paths of others can only be used as references and for learning, but cannot be copied. Completely borrowing or copying will never reach the peak of this realm.”
“You're right, in this realm, every Heavenly Emperor needs to have their own unique understanding of the Great Dao.”
Heavenly Sword One and Phoenix Master nodded.
The reason they wanted Jun Wuxie to clear up their doubts was not to completely borrow and copy the path he had taken in this realm.
At this moment, a brilliant soul light bloomed from Jun Wuxie's brow, as radiant as the sun in the night.
Massive amounts of information entered the sea of consciousness of Heavenly Sword One and Phoenix Master through the primordial spirit soul light.
This information was Jun Wuxie's understanding and comprehension of the Heavenly Emperor Dao, as well as his own insights and detailed explanations, which were very detailed and shared with them all.
Heavenly Sword One and Phoenix Master were shocked, their eyes instantly blazing, incomparably brilliant.
Such insights and comprehension, as well as the interpretation of the Three Thousand Great Daos, were meticulous and extremely detailed from every dimension, truly invaluable!
They only focused on it slightly, and their minds were greatly shaken, feeling extremely shocked.
However, Heavenly Sword One and Phoenix Master were not in a hurry to study it, they temporarily sealed this information in their sea of consciousness.
After Phoenix Master sealed the information, her gaze fell on him, frequently sizing her up, her face full of satisfied smiles.
Seeing his wife like this, Heavenly Sword One drank his tea on his own, with a faint smile on his face.
“Ancestral Mother, what are you looking at me like that for?”
Jun Wuxie felt a little uncomfortable being watched by her.
Why does it feel a bit like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, finding him more and more interesting?
“Ancestral Mother is of course looking at my future son-in-law, the more Ancestral Mother looks, the more she likes him.
My Liuli is truly blessed to become your wife, she's much more blessed than her mother was back then.”
Heavenly Sword One, who was originally calmly drinking tea, almost choked on the tea.
“What, you dislike me?”
Heavenly Sword One refused to accept it. Back then, he was the most outstanding of his generation, defeating all opponents and was the most dazzling, alright?
“You are good, granted, the strongest talent of that generation.
But can you compare to Wuxie?”
“This… Of course not.
No, why should I compare to him, we're not even from the same era, what's there to compare.”
“So, Liuli's husband is stronger than my husband, and she's more blessed than me, you disagree?
My daughter's talent is stronger than mine, shouldn't she find a more powerful genius than the husband her mother found, is there a problem?”
“Alright, you're just twisting my words here, making me dizzy.”
Speaking of this, Heavenly Sword One glanced at Jun Wuxie, “I say, Phoenix, don't be too happy too soon, maybe we're just being wishful thinking.
Some people might not think much of our Liuli.
We're willing to marry our daughter, but they might not want her.”
Jun Wuxie was speechless and couldn't help but smile wryly.
This Ancestor is being sarcastic, he wants Ancestral Mother to put pressure on him.
She saw a deep look of disappointment on Ancestral Mother's face, her eyes even a little sad.
“Wuxie, is what your Ancestor said what you truly think?”
“Ancestral Mother, don't listen to Ancestor's nonsense.
Look at the tone he was using just now, sarcastic, with no demeanor of a Heavenly Emperor at all.
A Heavenly Emperor who has lost his demeanor in speech, can you believe what he says?
I have never looked down on Liuli, nor have I ever said that I don't want her.”
“Really?
Then what exactly do you think?
Let's get this straight, you can't refuse.
You have so many consorts by your side, you can at least leave a place for Liuli, right?”
…
Jun Wuxie was speechless, unable to refuse, thinking, you've already said that, what else can I say?
“Ancestral Mother, I just think that Liuli and I have never met, who knows what she thinks in her heart.
This kind of thing shouldn't be forced.”
“Don't worry, there's no coercion.”
Phoenix Master smiled and said, “You haven't seen Liuli, but Liuli has already seen you, although not in reality.
Many years ago, I compiled your experiences into a divine sense image and shared it with her.
Over the years, she has been adventuring in the Hunyuan Great World and other worlds, endured countless hardships, experienced countless near-death situations, and worked hard to cultivate, making herself stronger.
Not only because we want her to assist you in the future, but also because of her own will.
You flattened the doomsday torrent between the two realms and died in battle twice.
She admires you very much, and is also moved by you, and feels sorry for you.
When she was in the Hunyuan Great World, she had paid attention to you through certain channels.
At that time, every time we contacted her, she would take the initiative to ask about you, asking about your recent situation.
She knows that we intend to betroth her to you, but she is still keen to know about your recent situation, would this be forced?
Ancestral Mother thinks that Liuli has already decided on you in her heart.”
“This…”
Jun Wuxie was speechless.
Ancestral Mother has said so, what else can I say?
“You're not worried that Liuli isn't good-looking, are you?”
Phoenix Master smiled, “Ancestral Mother isn't bad-looking, right? My daughter will only be more beautiful than me.
Take a look and you'll know, you'll definitely be satisfied.”
As Phoenix Master spoke, she flicked her finger, and a spot of light bloomed in the air of the pavilion, and then evolved into a light curtain.
