Chapter 281

In the thirty years he was in seclusion, at the beginning, there were still people bringing him food.

However, later on, he no longer needed anyone to bring him food.

In the cave, there was an ancient well, and he only needed to drink some clear water every seven days.

For these thirty years, he had attained enlightenment on the Heavenly Dao and contemplated the opportunity to transcend life and death!

It could be said he had embarked on an unprecedented, broad path.

Thirty years later, returning to the human world, although he felt a sense of nostalgia, he felt more joy.

Wang Wang Chongyang walked to the front of the six Quanzhen disciples and looked at them one by one.

They each reminisced for a while.

At this time, Wang Wang Chongyang discovered that one person was missing.

"Why do I not see Qiu Chuji?"

Qiu Qiu Chuji was the most hot-tempered among all of Wang Wang Chongyang’s disciples.

But he was also the one Wang Wang Chongyang liked the most.

If Qiu Qiu Chuji hadn't been too radical in his actions, Wang Wang Chongyang would have wanted to pass the position of Quanzhen Sect Leader to him.

Now, not seeing Qiu Qiu Chuji come to greet him.

Wang Wang Chongyang asked about it.

Ma Yu replied from the side: "Master, Junior Brother Qiu has gone down the mountain to handle some matters."

"In these years, many things have happened in the Jianghu."

"Especially recently, the Heavenly Dao has changed, and three Golden Rankings have descended in succession!"

"Now, this third Golden Ranking, the Unparalleled Martial God Ranking, is also coming to an end!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Wang Chongyang nodded slightly, raised his head, and looked toward the firmament.

With his eyesight, he could naturally perceive the power of the Unparalleled Martial God Ranking in the firmament.

"Supreme Master Ling Donglai..."

Looking at the scene in the firmament, a flash of brilliance suddenly crossed Wang Wang Chongyang’s eyes!

"Good, I never expected that after thirty years of not leaving seclusion, the Jianghu would have undergone such great changes!"

"Supreme Master Ling Donglai is actually still alive!"

"Good, this is truly great!"

"It seems my coming out of seclusion this time is just the right moment!"

"It is just the time for me, Wang Wang Chongyang, to seek out experts and fight across the Nine Provinces!"

Wang Wang Chongyang’s words fell into the ears of the Quanzhen disciples.

It immediately made them all extremely happy.

Especially Hao Hao Datong and the others, who were even more delighted.

"Master, it is truly great that you are willing to come out of the mountains!"

"With you coming out, it will certainly greatly increase the prestige of our Quanzhen Sect!"

"Master, I think you should first ascend Mount Wudang!"

"And compete with Zhang Zhang Sanfeng to see who is superior!"

"To wash away the decline of our Quanzhen Sect over these thirty years!"

"Actually, there is no need to go to Mount Wudang first; Master wants to find experts of the world, so the Martial Emperor Gao Gao Xianzhi of the East Sea Martial Emperor City is also an option!"

"As long as Master comes out, no matter who you fight, it will greatly increase the prestige of our Quanzhen Sect!"

Wang Wang Chongyang’s appearance gave the Quanzhen disciples great confidence.

At this time.

Wang Wang Chongyang looked at the Unparalleled Martial God Ranking in the firmament and said slowly: "No rush, one by one!"

Wu Chao.

Shendu.

In the Imperial Palace, Empress Wu Zhao looked at the Unparalleled Martial God Ranking in the firmament and watched the scene within it.

For a moment, she was filled with emotion.

Ling Donglai’s appearance on the ranking reminded the Empress of the East Sea Martial Emperor Gao Gao Xianzhi!

Back then, Gao Gao Xianzhi was the same, emulating the Martial Ancestor’s hundred-mile spiritual wandering, traveling across the Nine Provinces of the world and the vast wilderness, just to step onto the pinnacle of the Martial Dao!

"Counting it up, this Ling Donglai is much younger than Gao Gao Xianzhi!"

"But Ling Donglai’s achievements seem even higher than Gao Gao Xianzhi’s!"

"This is truly shocking."

"It is enough to see that talent is truly too important on the path of the Martial Dao."

"Ninety-nine percent talent, plus one percent sweat, is the opportunity for success!"

"I thought my talent was good enough, but compared to figures like Yan Fei and Ling Donglai, it is still far behind!"

The Empress sighed with such emotion.

Di Di Renjie, who was on the side, nodded slightly upon hearing this and said: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

"Actually, no matter what one does, those with talent are always easier to get started than those without."

"Moreover, the higher one goes, the more one relies on talent."

"Effort might be able to bridge the first fifty percent of the gap."

"However, there is truly a world of difference between having talent and not having it."

"However, ninety-nine percent of the people in the world are ordinary, and those who can reach this stage in the Martial Dao are naturally rare existences."

"Your Majesty should not belittle yourself!"

"People and things in the world cannot always go as one wishes!"

"Don't you think so!"

Upon hearing this, the Empress nodded slightly and smiled: "Minister Di, every time I chat with you, I cannot help but wonder how you grew that mouth of yours, and why you are so good at speaking."

"So many years have passed, and the old people around me are getting fewer and fewer."

"There are not many people left who can handle things for me!"

"Only you, Minister Di, remain as vigorous as ever, able to have endless energy for the world of Wu Chao, just like me."

"Minister Di, you have worked hard all these years!"

The Empress’s sudden sentimentality and encouragement.

Made Di Di Renjie feel somewhat unaccustomed.

Although the Empress looked in the prime of her life.

Her age was actually not young anymore!

She was no longer a young girl in her prime.

The Empress had presided over the court for many years and had experienced far too much.

The only minister she could treat this way was Di Di Renjie alone.

It was truly because Di Di Renjie’s help to her was indeed significant.

As a ruler of a country, having a minister who can be sincere and handle most things well for you is a very fortunate thing.

An Emperor is a lonely person.

An Empress is even more so.

But the Empress is also human.

For so many years, the last bit of tenderness in the Empress’s heart was reserved for Mr. Li, who had taught her everything by the Luo River back then.

Besides that, only Di Di Renjie could talk to the Empress.

However, Di Di Renjie was so experienced in handling affairs that he immediately bowed to the Empress and said: "Your Majesty is really shaming this old minister!"

"Being able to share your worries and the worries of the people of Wu Chao is both my duty and my honor!"

"A man born in this world cannot have come for nothing; even if one does not do some earth-shattering deeds, one must be worthy of one’s conscience and do what one can."

"Although Your Majesty is a woman, your literary and martial achievements are by no means inferior to the Emperors of the Nine Provinces throughout history."

"It is my fortune to be able to be your vanguard!"

Di Di Renjie’s words were deeply moving.

Making the Empress feel a bit embarrassed.
