My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1500 - 558: Chaos in the Upper Realm

"How preposterous!"

A sharp voice sounded, and a gray-haired old eunuch slowly emerged: "Your Majesty, these old ministers left by the Grand Ancestor are becoming increasingly arrogant, relying on their status as veterans."

This person's name was Wei Yuan.

Back when the Grand Ancestor abolished the eunuch system, it wasn't reinstated until the era of Xuanhe.

Since then, he had risen to his current position as the Chief Eunuch of the Rites.

As for the original Dongfang Jingxing, he had been dispatched long ago, more than two hundred years back, to guard the Scripture Hall.

The Jianlong Emperor's face was indifferent: "Who's to say they are not my elders?"

"Even if they are elders, there should still be clear distinctions between ruler and minister!"

Wei Yuan said indignantly: "Your Majesty, you mustn't continue to indulge these nobles; each of them acts arrogantly like kings, and if things continue this way, it's only a matter of time before a major incident occurs."

The Jianlong Emperor glanced at him sideways.

Wei Yuan immediately shut his mouth: "It's the old servant who is being too talkative."

"Hehe~"

The Jianlong Emperor sneered: "I know you are considering the Han Dynasty, and I too have always felt that as long as these old ministers of the Grand Ancestor don't retire, it remains a nagging issue.

"However, now is not the time.

"When this battle is over, I will naturally find a way."

...

Back in the days when the Grand Ancestor Emperor had conquered Kunxu.

The court had relocated the capital there.

Outside the Kunlun Imperial Palace.

Wang Zhi returned resentfully.

Outside the door, several Aliased Kings, including Cheng Wei and Ye Fengxiu, approached.

"How did it go?"

"..."

Wang Zhi shook his head and solemnly said, "His Majesty insists on the Blood Sacrifice and disagrees on reducing the Spiritual Grain."

"That bastard!"

Meng Guangxin cursed: "I'll go teach him a lesson!"

Cheng Wei hurriedly stopped him: "Old Five, are you crazy?!"

"What's wrong with that?!"

Meng Guangxin justly replied: "Who am I? I'm his grand grandfather's senior! Do I not have the qualification to give this youngster a scolding?!"

"There must be distinctions between ruler and minister!"

Cheng Wei said: "Nowadays, there are many new nobles in the court who already harbor much dissatisfaction towards us. If you act recklessly, you'll only give them leverage!"

The Han Dynasty, having lasted nearly two thousand years.

Thanks to the Emperor's Breath Soil.

Although Divinity Transformation cultivators remain top-tier, they're no longer rare; not if you tally up the Divinity Transformation cultivators from across the continents, reaching over several dozen to a hundred.

"Truly worrying."

Rong Yanqiu said pensively: "If our junior brother knew that the fields are once again sprouting Spiritual Grain, he'd surely be furious."

"Five generations."

Ye Fengxiu spoke, as if self-talking: "Through Tian Wu, Yuan Guang, Xuanhe, Yongchu, to the current Jianlong - merely five generations, and already we've changed so much. If it continues like this, in another five generations, will the Han Dynasty still be the same Han Dynasty?"

Upon saying this,

The group fell into silence.

Together, they looked towards the Ent.

"Alas~"

Wang Zhi sighed deeply: "Who knows how our junior is doing now."

...

The Upper Realm.

The wilderness.

"Rumble—"

The Demon Seed was born, permeating three thousand worlds.

Despite Ding Xiu's multiple attempts to thwart, it was in vain.

He then turned his gaze to the White Robe: "Boy, aren't you concerned about the world's people? Do you even know what Jiang Changge is doing?"

Chen Sansi could feel the terrifying will of destruction from Jianmu, vaguely guessing.

"Hurry!"

Ding Xiu urged: "Unleash Forbidden Arts and halt his Formation, otherwise you, me, countless Daoists, billions of beings, and even the Heavenly Dao will be destroyed by this madman's hand!"

"Chen Sansi!"

Jiang Changge shouted sharply: "I've given you a chance! You lost, and now I am forced to do this!"

Chen Sansi certainly wouldn't watch Elder Jiang destroy the world.

But he could be sure.

At this moment, Ding Xiu was surely more anxious than himself.

Indeed.

Not receiving a response, Ding Xiu could no longer hold back; he transformed into a stream of light soaring into the sky, piercing through the nine heavens, shattering the firmament, arriving beneath the sun, moon, and stars, upon the Demon Seed's tree crown that nearly enveloped the world.

With both hands forming signs, his Immortal Yuan Emperor Qi inside exploded like a tsunami, crashing onto the treetop and then irrigating downwards to envelop the trunk.

Immortal Yuan True Qi.

Transforming into golden runes, embedded tightly on Jianmu's surface like chains, restraining its further growth and preventing the restrictions from fully opening.

"Jiang Changge!"

Ding Xiu threatened: "The restriction may be formidable, but with your weakened state, how long can you last? As soon as you die, I can still seal the restriction!"

Witnessing.

Jiang Changge's complexion visibly paled rapidly.

Yet he showed no hesitation, accelerating the burning of his essence to forcibly activate the restriction, contending with the Immortal Emperor: "How long can I hold on, we'll see, won't we?!"

Both fell into a stalemate.

Chen Sansi managed to catch his breath, quickly consuming elixir pills to restore his injuries.

"Aren't you leaving?!"

Jiang Changge transmitted: "You have one last chance, before I can no longer hold, return to kill Ding Xiu; else, I can only self-detonate my essence, forcefully unleashing Jianmu and devour three thousand worlds!"

Chen Sansi understood.

Elder Jiang wasn't truly mad, intent on going down together.

But wanted to use this method to intimidate Ding Xiu, trapping him to buy precious time.

"Three hundred days!

"I can last for a maximum of three hundred more days!

"After you return, immediately issue a call to arms, exposing the scandals of the Luoxiao Sect publicly, summoning cultivators of the world to besiege them!

"During this period, you must breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor!

"Otherwise, I can only use the last resort to drag Ding Xiu down, dying together."

"Elder Jiang, take care!"

Chen Sansi retrieved his fallen weapon, then turned and vanished into the void.

Ding Xiu attempted to stop him.
