But…

Suddenly, a melodious voice rang out.

"Zheng'er, is this your eldest son, Fusu?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked in great alarm at the person who had opened their eyes among the three figures at the very top.

Seeing Ying Zheng hurriedly cupped his hands:

"Reporting to Ancestor, Fusu he…"

"Hmph! Rotten wood cannot be carved!"

Jiang Xuan Chen let out a cold snort, and the surging high-pressure of a cultivator's life level descended from the sky.

In an instant, a series of explosive sounds rang out, and the many Confucian scholars who had previously followed Fusu now exploded into blood.

The smell of blood permeated the entire hall, but the next moment, a phantom of a Black Bird flashed behind Jiang Xuan Chen, and a breeze blew, making everyone feel a heart-piercing comfort.

Jiang Xuan Chen said indifferently:

"Zheng'er, today, Ancestor will teach you how to govern a mortal court as a cultivator."

"A cultivator Emperor's words are heavier than the heavens; whoever does not obey, dies!"

"Zheng'er, remember, you are no longer just an Emperor, but also a cultivator."

"In the world of cultivators, strength is respected; the weak have no qualifications to offer opinions on the ideas proposed by the strong."

"Whoever brings it up, dies!"

"Do you remember?"

582. Teaching Seeing Ying Zheng how to be a cultivator Emperor

Seeing Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, nodded, and said earnestly:

"Yes, Ancestor, Zheng understands."

Jiang Xuan Chen's expression was cold.

"Cultivators are already single-mindedly focused on cultivation and have no extra time. If you take time out to handle government affairs and still have to worry about bickering with people, then there is no need."

"You must remember that you are no longer an ordinary Emperor, nor even a mortal; everything must prioritize strength."

Seeing Ying Zheng nodded with complicated emotions.

Then, he asked curiously:

"Ancestor, you previously said that when you were refining your heart in the mortal world, you were an Emperor for over seven thousand years. How did you handle government affairs?"

To be honest, the matter of a cultivator being an Emperor was still very novel to Seeing Ying Zheng, and he wanted to learn from Jiang Xuan Chen.

As for the people below, once they heard Seeing Ying Zheng say this was his Ancestor and that he had been an Emperor for over seven thousand years, they immediately understood what was going on.

They looked at Jiang Xuan Chen somewhat nervously.

This was a genuine Ancestor.

"Handle government affairs?"

Jiang Xuan Chen smiled, shook his head, and said:

"At that time, I was the Emperor. Why would I need to handle government affairs personally?"

"Isn't it enough to just handle the people who handle the government affairs?"

Seeing Ying Zheng was silent. After a while, he said again:

"But if that were the case, wouldn't the empire…"

"That is impossible. During the years I was Emperor, the Great Xuan Empire at that time was quite prosperous."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Dang smiled and teased:

"Elder Jiang Xuan Chen is not wrong. During the years he was Emperor, the Great Xuan Empire unified the world in that realm and was prosperous and flourishing."

"However, in terms of methods, mortals might not be able to understand."

"At the very beginning, Elder Jiang Xuan Chen just wanted to be an Emperor to refine his heart in the mortal world, and then he transformed into a mortal to lead the people of that world to overthrow the tyranny."

"After becoming Emperor, he felt there were too many things to do, so he handed all the work to the people below."

"After a hundred years of seclusion, he came out and found that those ministers had not executed government affairs according to his ideas, so he killed them all, and incidentally killed more than ten million of the rebel armies that those ministers had secretly organized."

"Since then, no one in the Great Xuan Empire dared to rebel."

"Later, it became much simpler for Elder Jiang Xuan Chen to handle government affairs: just find a few talented people to be ministers, and if they didn't listen, they died."

"As for the army, Elder Jiang Xuan Chen also dispatched a bunch of generals to command them in one breath."

"Similarly, those who had disloyal hearts died."

"If any of the people rebelled, the same logic applied: no matter how many people, they died."

"Zheng'er, you must know that at that time, Elder Jiang Xuan Chen's cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. In that small world, no one could disobey him."

"If he wanted to, he could slaughter the entire world by himself."

"When you have obtained such power, everything in the empire is as illusory as a reflection in a mirror or a moon in the water to you."

"Whether as an Emperor or a cultivator, your will should not be something that mortals can disobey."

"Although we cultivators do not often take action against mortals on a daily basis, it does not mean that mere mortals have the qualifications to communicate with us on an equal footing."

"Even Shushan is like this. Do you know why cultivators in the cultivation world protect mortals?"

Hearing this, Seeing Ying Zheng shook his head blankly.

Jin Dang said calmly:

"In our long lives as cultivators, cultivation will always be boring."

"When you feel bored, you will find ways to make yourself happy. Mortals are like golden canaries kept by cultivators."

"Would you agree to let others rashly take action against your pet?"

Seeing Ying Zheng suddenly realized. Although it still felt somewhat outrageous, considering the long lifespan of cultivators, it was acceptable.

"Of course, one country has one country's management method. When I was refining my heart in the mortal world, the empire was not managed like that."

Jin Dang smiled, and looking at Seeing Ying Zheng's expectant gaze, Jin Dang said calmly:

"I bestowed a thousand years of lifespan upon many ministers under my command, and then used the method of divine sense to tamper with their wills, making each of them firmly maintain the interests of the empire."

"Speaking of which, this is much more convenient."

Jiang Xuan Chen couldn't help but complain:

"But later, Patriarch, because you found it troublesome, you cast the technique of tampering with wills over the entire empire in one breath."

"Everyone in the empire, from the moment they were born, before they could even call their parents, would call out that the Emperor's Dao is equal to the heavens."

"What is the difference between this and playing house?"

Jin Dang sighed awkwardly.

"So that time of refining the heart in the mortal world didn't have much effect… I am indeed not very suitable to be an Emperor."

"Cultivating every day already wastes enough time; where would I have the extra energy to consider the government affairs of an empire?"

"Therefore, in my ten thousand years of refining the heart in the mortal world, the most comfortable time was the three thousand years I spent as a beggar."

"There were no major events, I could still witness the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and I could go into seclusion whenever I wanted without anyone discovering me."

Jiang Xuan Chen smiled and teased:

"In the short term, Zheng'er is afraid he won't consider being a beggar to refine his heart in the mortal world at all."

"It's a matter of time."

Jin Dang waved his hand and then looked at Seeing Ying Zheng, who had complicated emotions.

"In short, no matter whose method it is, Zheng'er, you must remember."

"After becoming a cultivator, except for your identity in the cultivation world, nothing else is important."

"Everything must prioritize cultivation."

"Cultivators need a long time to go into seclusion and cultivate. If you waste time bickering with mortals, and a powerful enemy from the cultivation world forms a grudge with you…"

"When these enemies attack, do you intend to rely on a mortal kingdom to help you resist?"

"Therefore, your thinking should change."

583. Seeing Ying Zheng: Whoever works hard, I will take them to cultivate

Regardless of whether what Jin Dang and Jiang Xuan Chen said made sense, Seeing Ying Zheng had ultimately understood some of the cultivators' worldview.

For any cultivator, everything they do must be beneficial to their own cultivation.

Cultivators have a lot of time, but…

This does not mean that cultivators necessarily do not care about time. **CHAPTER 851**
