Chapter 593: The Ancient Kingdom on the Verge of Collapse

Throughout the entire Tianyuan, undercurrents were surging, and the first to erupt was within the Ancient Kingdom.

For nearly a thousand years, Yu Xun'er had never interfered with the development of the Ancient Kingdom.

The Golden Age had arrived; it should have been the best of times. Regardless of their cultivation level, cultivators should normally have been able to rely on the arrival of the Golden Age to grow stronger and fill their pockets.

But that was not the case.

Although the overall strength and average power of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom were increasing at an extremely rapid speed, ordinary cultivators and mortals did not seem to have benefited from it.

The cultivators who had occupied the upper echelons from the beginning and held power easily stripped away the value created by low-level cultivators through layers of exploitation. After a thousand years of development, those large sects had become stronger, the foundations of cultivation families had become richer, and the national treasury had become more abundant. The overall strength of the nation was more powerful than ever before, but ordinary cultivators, on the whole, had not seen any major changes due to the arrival of the Golden Age.

No one felt there was any problem with this.

Because whether it was the Demon Court or forces in other places, it was basically the same. No one would talk about fairness with ordinary cultivators. Cultivation was inherently an act of defying the heavens; whoever occupied more resources could go further. Squeezing the resources created by low-level cultivators was obviously more beneficial to high-level cultivators.

But the problem was that the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom was different from other forces. When the First Ancient Emperor established the Ancient Kingdom, what he pursued was a cultivation nation that was as fair as possible. This was the key that distinguished the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom from most forces, and it was also the reason why the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom could gather so much power of destiny, be supported by many at the bottom, and overthrow the Immortal Alliance.

And now, as time passed, the style of the Ancient Kingdom was clearly moving closer to the mainstream trend of the cultivation world. Perhaps there was nothing wrong with this, and the Ancient Kingdom as a whole was still growing, but it caused the low-level cultivators to erupt with more dissatisfaction than ordinary cultivators under the jurisdiction of other forces.

Yu Xun'er had done nothing; for nearly a thousand years, she had just watched the development of the Ancient Kingdom. Yet, it was not that she had done nothing. She would secretly help those cultivators who were disappointed in the Ancient Kingdom due to injustice. With her current ability, although she could not help everyone, any cultivator who showed talent and potential would be taken under her command.

Nearly a thousand years had passed, and only the First Ancient Emperor knew how many capable people had gathered under Yu Xun'er. It was a group of geniuses who, in terms of aptitude and talent, crushed the descendants of those noble families, capable of turning the world upside down.

When Yu Xun'er stood before the First Ancient Emperor, large-scale disturbances had already appeared throughout the Ancient Kingdom. The Second Ancient Emperor and the Imperial Princes, whose cultivation had reached the Questioning Dao stage and who practiced the "True Dragon Secret Art," quickly and clearly perceived that the dragons of destiny of the Ancient Kingdom were slowly disappearing.

"Scoundrel, stop!"

The shocking changes in the Ancient Kingdom's destiny made the Second Ancient Emperor's veins bulge, while he was even more shocked by this descendant who had raised an army to rebel. The other party had actually cultivated such a massive force, infiltrating every field of the Ancient Kingdom. He had originally wanted to personally suppress and kill Yu Xun'er and summon the Ancient Kingdom's Questioning Dao experts to quell the rebellion.

But in the end, the Second Ancient Emperor ultimately did not choose this path.

Because standing behind Yu Xun'er was his own father.

If it were an outsider doing such an unfilial thing, he would have killed them even if he had to risk his old life.

But if it were his father's intention, he really did not want to cross blades with the First Ancient Emperor.

Furthermore, the First Ancient Emperor could only be revived by Lin Jing. The Second Ancient Emperor could not judge whether there was Lin Jing's support behind all of this. If there was, then the Ancient Clan had no hope of winning.

"If possible, I would rather seize the imperial power of the Ancient Kingdom in the way I hope."

"However, doing so would kill many, many people, and there would be many innocent ones. Grandfather, it seems you are not senile yet." Yu Xun'er shook her head. The Second Ancient Emperor's meaning was clearly also that he did not want Yu Xun'er to replace the new emperor by destroying the Ancient Kingdom's destiny.

"You, compete with Gu Youran. The winner shall be the Third Ancient Emperor."

"First Ancient Emperor, are you satisfied with this method..." The Second Ancient Emperor looked at the First Ancient Emperor, while the First Ancient Emperor picked his nose and turned his head, saying:

"What are you doing? It wasn't me who asked her to come. I didn't instigate her, no one did. She wanted to come herself. Don't ask me, I'm just here to watch the show."

The First Ancient Emperor's main point was not to participate. Everything he said was the truth. Yu Xun'er had only completed this series of operations through the internal contradictions of the Ancient Kingdom, and it was also by relying on the feedback from the buried geniuses of the Ancient Kingdom that she had cultivated to her current realm with the "Human Control Art." He had not made a move.

Of course, from the Second Ancient Emperor's perspective, if the First Ancient Emperor hadn't taught Yu Xun'er the destiny secret art to cover up the heavenly secrets, Yu Xun'er's development of forces in the Ancient Kingdom would have been observed long ago!

"Not a bad method, I agree." Yu Xun'er said slowly. Gu Xinghe and Gu Youran were the children the Second Ancient Emperor valued most. These two children had been well-cultivated by the Second Ancient Emperor, and Yu Xun'er also knew they were different from those playboys. However, even so, Yu Xun'er still had to seize the throne from their hands, not for anything else, but to give an account to those geniuses who followed her.

Perhaps one day, she would also become a new evil dragon, but at least before that, she had to slay this ancient dragon.

"I will fight you." Gu Youran took a deep breath. Without the previous astonishment, looking at Yu Xun'er, his gaze became firm. No matter what... he could not let the position of Ancient Emperor fall into the hands of this demoness!

…………

"It started just like that. She really knows how to find an opportunity."

Now, all the changes in the continent could not be hidden from Lin Jing's eyes. Regarding the changes occurring within the Ancient Kingdom, Lin Jing shook his head and did not intend to manage it; this was a matter for their own family.

From the perspective of the survival of a world, Lin Jing no longer cared about the rise and fall of nations.

His attention was now focused on a certain frog.

Everyone else had cultivated from the early Void Profound stage to the Questioning Dao stage, while this guy, ever since using that "Progenitor Blood Crystal," was still in a deep sleep.

However, Lin Jing could feel that as time passed, the other party's bloodline power was becoming increasingly powerful!

Imperial-level bloodline, Progenitor-level bloodline, Emperor-level bloodline... Immortal-level bloodline...

Just by sleeping, it had very quickly raised its bloodline power to the Immortal level. Lin Jing could only say, as expected of the Heavenly Emperor's descendant frog, and the essence of the Blood Clan. Lin Jing also understood that this might not be the limit yet.

"The frog is still the most reliable. The Frog Consort is also very generous. If this continues, the frog might actually become the first pet beast to possess a 'Monarch-level Immortal Vein'. Perhaps, even an Immortal King-level bloodline is not impossible. In comparison, what kind of trash is in the Immortal Palace."

Lin Jing was talking about that broken egg that had sucked a basin of his blood and still had no changes.

After breaking through to Questioning Dao, he had fed it quite a bit more blood, but there was still no change, which really made Lin Jing sad.

If the frog's final bloodline could be more reliable, this broken egg might as well not be hatched; he would just roast it directly to add a meal for everyone, which would certainly be a great tonic.

It was all for the sake of improving strength, why care about the form. ===== CHAPTER 594 =====
