Chapter 754: The Eldest Princess's Dao Path Problem

【Daoist Xu, I checked the schedule; the next batch of teleportation arrays to the Isolated Island Secret Realm will open in nine days. However, if you are in a hurry, Daoist, I can arrange an expedited opening for you.

Within the next three days, you can choose any day to go, Daoist.】

Looking at the starlight message sent by Tianyang Xingjun Liu, Xu Jin smiled.

This was clearly an attempt to curry favor with him.

Although Xu Jin was not in a hurry for these one or two days, it would not matter if he waited until after nine days.

But so-called politics is about having as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

If one refuses such goodwill that is delivered to one's doorstep, although it won't add an enemy, it is equivalent to refusing a friend.

This favor must be accepted!

Of course, everyone is a smart person; there is no logic in owing a small favor and returning a large one.

【Sorry to trouble you, Tianyang Xingjun Liu; let's go in three days then.】

The reason Xu Jin chose three days later was to imply to this Tianyang Xingjun Liu that he was not in a hurry, but he accepted this favor.

It just so happened that Xu Jin could also use these few days to use up the Space and Wind Enlightenment Stones.

Xu Jin had not yet used the Space Enlightenment Stone and Wind Enlightenment Stone obtained in the first round of the Daoist selection; these resources still needed to be converted into strength as soon as possible.

Of course, the daily forging of the Star Towers could not stop either.

Xu Jin estimated that by the time he went to the Isolated Island Secret Realm of the East Profound Dao Palace, his Lightning Zhai Xing Lou would be basically complete.

Xu Jin was still very self-disciplined; apart from his daily morning and evening lessons, all other time was used to trigger the Space Enlightenment Stones for enlightenment.

Xu Jin estimated that by the time his Space Enlightenment Stones were consumed, the Space Law stars on his Arena could transform into Origin stars.

At that time, the power of the Space Law Dao would be able to improve again.

On the 16th, when Xu Jin finished cultivating again, the Mingji Star Pattern swept across the entire Yutang Royal City and discovered that the Eldest Princess Zhu Linxiao had not yet returned.

In recent days, the Eldest Princess Zhu Linxiao had become very busy, returning late every night, but every night, she would still personally wash Xu Jin's feet.

Actually, whether his feet were washed or not was not important; what Xu Jin enjoyed was this feeling.

In his previous life, the person who could wash Xu Jin's feet like this belonged to someone else, and he had to spend a little money.

Now, it was the Eldest Princess, and she was his own.

Rare!

Tonight, taking advantage of Zhu Linxiao's absence, Xu Jin directly sent a starlight message to the Yutang King Zhu Shizhen, 【Are you free? Shall we chat?】

【Brother-in-law, if you want to chat, I must be free! Brother-in-law, should I come over or will you come over?】

【I'll come over.】

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin appeared in the study of the Yutang King Zhu Shizhen; Zhu Shizhen had already prepared a jar of fine wine and six exquisite side dishes waiting for Xu Jin.

Sensing Xu Jin's arrival, he hurriedly came out to welcome Xu Jin in.

There was no nonsense; he directly poured two bowls of wine, clinked them lightly, and the two of them finished them first.

After drinking three bowls in a row, the Yutang King Zhu Shizhen exhaled a thick breath of wine and said, "Brother-in-law, why didn't I realize before that drinking wine from a bowl is so satisfying? Before, using a jade cup and gulping it down was not exciting; drinking from a bowl is satisfying!"

"Whether it's satisfying or not, you only know after trying."

Xu Jin glanced at Zhu Shizhen, and the latter's gaze moved; he immediately drove the formation of the study and simultaneously raised a layer of starlight, protecting the entire study layer by layer.

Under this kind of protection, even if a True Person were squatting on the roof, they would not be able to hear what the two were saying.

"Tell me about the situation of the Profound Saint Order." Xu Jin said while picking up a bowl of wine.

Zhu Shizhen picked up his wine bowl, clinked it lightly, and after drinking it in one gulp, said, "Brother-in-law, to put it mildly, the Profound Saint Order is the path to heaven in the entire Profound Domain; to put it grandly, it is like the Emperor himself arriving."

Xu Jin's gaze moved slightly; he had obtained a Profound Saint Order, and the information transmitted to him by the Profound Saint Order could only say that this thing was very valuable and could directly make one a Saint Child of the Profound Imperial Palace, with quite a few privileges.

But it was not as exaggerated as Zhu Shizhen said.

"Expand on that."

"Brother-in-law, the path to heaven is very simple; as long as you hold the Profound Saint Order and go to the Profound Imperial Palace, you can directly become a Profound Saint Child, becoming a White-Clothed Saint Child. Within ten years, if you can advance to become a Silver-Clothed Saint Child, you can continue to cultivate in the Profound Imperial Palace; if not, you must leave the Imperial Palace, either to fight or to take up a post.

If you are already a White-Clothed Saint Child, you can be directly promoted to a Silver-Clothed Saint Child.

After our Zhu clan ancestor, the Yutang True Person, passed away, the Emperor, remembering our ancestor's merits and bravery in those years, bestowed a Profound Saint Order.

It was this Saint Order that protected our Yutang Wang Fu for three hundred years.

A hundred years ago, my father, in order to prove the Dao as a True Person, took the Profound Saint Order to the Profound Imperial Palace and became a Profound Saint Child.

He had hoped to use this opportunity to prove the Dao as a True Person and revitalize the family's prestige, but unexpectedly, he died accidentally in the end!"

Speaking of this, the Yutang King Zhu Shizhen picked up a bowl of wine with a bitter expression and sprinkled it lightly on the ground, "My old father bore the fate of revitalizing the family and lived a very difficult life. He seemed to be the Yutang King, but he lived more bitterly than most people, cultivating bitterly every day, not even getting close to women, which led to me not even having many brothers and sisters."

Xu Jin picked up a bowl of wine, clinked it lightly, and drank it in one gulp, "It seems that the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family has now been borne by you; doesn't that mean you also live very hard?"

"That's not the case."

Zhu Shizhen shook his head, "The one who bore the fate of revitalizing the family at the beginning was actually my sister! It was only after my sister's Dao path was interrupted that it was my turn.

However, when it was my turn, everyone up and down already knew that there was no hope of revitalizing the Yutang True Person Mansion.

What everyone wanted to see was how long the Yutang True Person Mansion could linger on. When I took over, there were actually only two things left."

"Which two things?"

"Giving up and continuing the bloodline!

Give birth to a few more, and when the big tree of the Yutang True Person Mansion falls, make arrangements in advance to send them out and see if the Zhu clan bloodline can be continued."

Hearing this, Xu Jin glared at Zhu Shizhen, "Then why did you pull me onto your broken ship?"

A flattering smile squeezed out on Zhu Shizhen's chubby face, "Brother-in-law, isn't this a case of treating a dead horse as a living one! I didn't expect you to be invincible in divine power, with supreme talent, unprecedented in all ages..."

"Stop, talk about the main point! Continue talking about the Profound Saint Order." Xu Jin hurriedly stopped Zhu Shizhen's flattery performance.

"Brother-in-law, the second function of the Profound Saint Order is like the Emperor himself arriving, but this function depends on whose hands it is in."

"How so?" Xu Jin was curious.

"Brother-in-law, didn't I tell you that the decline of our Yutang True Person Mansion actually started a hundred years ago?

But a hundred years ago, even if our Yutang True Person Mansion had not had a True Person sitting in it for two hundred years, and no one in the mansion had any hope of proving the Dao as a True Person, no family dared to annex any star domain under our Yutang True Person Mansion; it was all because of this Profound Saint Order.

It wasn't until my father used this Profound Saint Order and died accidentally that all parties began to secretly annex our Yutang True Person Mansion and take action against us.

This is the function of the Profound Saint Order being like the Emperor himself arriving.

It's a pity my father was too impatient; knowing that the old thief Bixuan had started to act, he couldn't sit still; otherwise, that Profound Saint Order could have kept our Yutang True Person Mansion safe for another hundred years." Zhu Shizhen said.

"I don't understand this?

Isn't it said to be like the Emperor himself arriving?

As long as your Yutang True Person Mansion never uses this Profound Saint Order, then all parties won't dare to take action; let alone a hundred years, a thousand years is possible." Xu Jin said suspiciously.

"Brother-in-law, how can it be that simple?"

The Yutang King Zhu Shizhen smiled bitterly, "For one thing, it's been too long; protecting our Zhu family for two or three hundred years, the Emperor's favor is enough; no matter where, there won't be a reputation for mistreating meritorious officials.

By then, if our Yutang True Person Mansion declines, it's just that our Zhu clan descendants are not up to the task.

Secondly, because time has passed and the favor has been used, those few True Person mansions also had plans.

Find a scapegoat or an unlucky person to deal with our Zhu family, forcing our Zhu family to have to use this Profound Saint Order to report to the Emperor.

This kind of thing where the descendants of meritorious officials use the Profound Saint Order he bestowed to report, the Emperor will inevitably deal with it personally; maybe he will kill a group of people.

Then after killing them?

The favor is also used up.

The merits are also used up.

The opportunity to report directly to the Emperor is also used up.

Just waiting for the situation to calm down a little, after a few decades, giving the Emperor enough face, all parties will open their bloody mouths again and annex us without any scruples.

At that time, even if the Emperor knows, he absolutely won't ask.

It can be considered a normal cycle of heaven."

Speaking of this, Zhu Shizhen raised another bowl of wine, "Brother-in-law, this is the other function of the Profound Saint Order; in the hands of meritorious people, it is a deterrent weapon like the Emperor himself arriving; in the hands of ordinary cultivators, it is a channel to seek justice and make a comeback.

However, if ordinary cultivators use the Profound Saint Order to contact the Emperor directly, they usually can't contact him; the Emperor will issue it to the Imperial Palace to deal with.

But having said that, ordinary cultivators can't get the Profound Saint Order either." Zhu Shizhen said.

Hearing this, Xu Jin's heart suddenly moved, "What if the Yutang Wang Fu gets another Profound Saint Order?"

"Get another one?"

Zhu Shizhen was suddenly stunned, "If it were obtained a year ago, it could keep our Yutang True Person Mansion safe for a hundred years, but now, with you, brother-in-law, the effect is not too great.

Of course, it is relatively large in high-end games."

"High-end games?"

"For example, it can be used to confront the Commander Tian Zhang True Person; even if the East Profound Star Realm Central Conference denies your application, brother-in-law, it can help you get it back.

This thing, in the hands of our Yutang True Person Mansion, still has a relatively large deterrent force.

The Emperor is still unwilling to bear the reputation of mistreating the descendants of meritorious officials." Zhu Shizhen smiled, and after finishing, added a sentence, "The Emperor seems to be a bit fond of fame."

"If there is a Profound Saint Order, can it restore your sister's Dao path?" Xu Jin asked.

Hearing this, the Yutang King Zhu Shizhen was stunned, looked at Xu Jin with a slightly strange look in his eyes, and then shook his head.

"No."

"Oh, then tell me in detail about your sister's interrupted Dao path." Xu Jin said.

This was the second purpose of his coming to chat with the Yutang King Zhu Shizhen today.

Understand it clearly first, then see if there is any possibility of solving it.

"Brother-in-law, I know what you mean, but the problem of my sister's interrupted Dao path is basically unsolvable."

"Let me listen first."

In the study, listening to the Yutang King Zhu Shizhen's narration, Xu Jin's face gradually became ugly.

The problem of the Eldest Princess Zhu Linxiao's interrupted Dao path was even more complex and difficult to handle than he had imagined!
