Chapter 945
But this Nine Yin Manual was, after all, merely a Heaven-grade secret manual written by Huang Shang, the Imperial Preceptor of the Great Song.
To an ordinary martial artist, it might be precious.
But to the major powers of the Nine Provinces and their high-level martial artists,
the so-called Nine Yin Manual is no longer worth a second look.
Yet, after the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking finished introducing Zhou Zhou Zhiruo, it not only bestowed upon her a reforged Immortal-grade divine weapon, the Heaven Reliant Sword,
but also repeated that ancient legend passed down in the Great Ming.
This act was tantamount to telling the world that the secret of the Heaven Reliant Sword and the Dragon Slaying Saber goes far beyond a single Nine Yin Manual.
Consequently, Zhou Zhou Zhiruo's importance has effectively risen by several levels.
"The Great Khan's words are reasonable."
Yelu Chu only then recalled that legend from the Great Ming.
He felt that taking a risk for the sake of this legend was indeed nothing to worry about.
"It's just that although the Heaven Reliant Sword is in Zhou Zhou Zhiruo's hands, what about the Dragon Slaying Saber?"
Back then, the reason the major powers all ascended Mount Wudang was because of the return of Zhang Zhang Cuishan's family.
And the reason Zhang Zhang Cuishan went missing all those years ago was precisely because Xie Xun had seized the Dragon Slaying Saber.
The Heaven Reliant Sword is in Zhou Zhou Zhiruo's hands, but the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Saber remain unknown.
Even if we invite Zhou Zhou Zhiruo here, how are we to crack the secret within the sword and the saber?
This single sentence left the few of them pondering for a long time.
After a while, Yelu Chu slowly opened his mouth to speak:
"Instead of thinking about things that may or may not be, it would be better to first invite Zhou Zhou Zhiruo and the Heaven Reliant Sword to the Great Yuan."
"The Grand Preceptor's words are reasonable."
Ogedei expressed his agreement.
"According to General General Chilaowen, most of the Great Ming martial artists have been recruited into that Academy of Worthies to complete the Great Ming's tasks.
As an outstanding disciple of Mount Emei, perhaps Zhou Zhou Zhiruo has also gone there?"
"This subordinate will go find General Chilaowen to confirm it."
Upon hearing this, Jebe immediately prepared to go find General Chilaowen.
Ogedei nodded; confirming Zhou Zhou Zhiruo's whereabouts was indeed the top priority right now.
Having received Ogedei's approval, Jebe immediately withdrew.
"Let's talk about that Han Ji!"
Ogedei changed the subject, his gaze suddenly becoming somewhat sharp.
"I didn't expect that after Minmin from the Old Chahan family made it onto this Hundred Flowers Ranking, Han Ji would also make it onto the same ranking in the same period.
And according to the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking, this Han Ji is even more important than Minmin!"
Indeed, Minmin's experiences and the rewards she received were all beneficial to her personally.
Aside from her peerless beauty, she only had her zither music to be admired.
Yes, it was merely for admiration.
And I fear that only the master of the Green Dragon Manor is qualified for this admiration.
How could ordinary people be qualified?
On the contrary, Han Ji, who comes from the same sect, is also peerless in both music and dance.
But after making it onto the ranking this time, she received a reward from the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking.
Originally, zither music and dance could only affect ordinary soldiers.
It allowed soldiers to recover faster and boosted morale.
Such a unique function is indeed extremely precious on the battlefield.
One could even say it is terrifying!
Who would have thought that after receiving the Heavenly Dao's reward, her zither music and dance can now affect martial artists!
What kind of concept is this?!
In a competition between ordinary martial artists, the most important thing is naturally the level of their cultivation realm and their comprehension of techniques and moves.
When facing battle, it is also about the timing, the terrain, the people, and the ability to adapt to the situation.
But every single one of these things is inseparable from the fighting spirit and the will to fight.
Now that Han Ji has been strengthened this time, she can actually allow a martial artist to maintain a full and sufficient fighting spirit?
This is simply terrifying!
With Han Ji around, I fear it is no longer impossible for ordinary martial artists to challenge those of a higher level.
Not to mention, if Han Ji assists, I fear the Great Yuan's state-protecting offerings can also ascend to a higher level.
Muqali is not only a veteran of the battlefield but also one of the Thirteen Wings, a master at the level of the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking.
When he saw Han Ji's information, he had already grasped the key to it.
At this moment, when Ogedei brought it up, he also immediately spoke out:
"The Great Khan's words are absolutely correct! With Han Ji around, I fear any army can be a Kheshig army.
It is no longer impossible for any martial artist to challenge those of a higher level!"
This is not an exaggeration at all.
Ogedei stroked his chin, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes.
"In that case, since we are conferring the title of First-Class Marquis upon Kuokuo this time, shouldn't we let the entire Old Chahan family come to the Imperial Court to express their gratitude?"
On the surface, it is to have the Old Chahan family come to express gratitude, but in reality, Ogedei's intention is mostly for Han Ji, right?
Yelu Chu and Muqali naturally understood Ogedei's meaning.
It's just that they felt it was inappropriate in their hearts; if Han Ji were really summoned to the Imperial Court,
and Ogedei acted on impulse and really kept Han Ji,
I fear it would instead cause trouble.
What's more, Prince Prince Ruyang was never Ogedei's direct subordinate...
The two of them had reservations, but Aodu immediately spoke up in agreement:
"The Great Khan's words are exactly right! How many First-Class Marquises does our Great Yuan have?
Now Prince Prince Ruyang hasn't even performed a single meritorious deed, yet the Great Khan has conferred the title of First-Class Marquis upon his son, Kuokuo.
This can be called Heavenly Grace!
How can Prince Prince Ruyang not come to the Imperial Court in person to express his gratitude to the Great Khan?
Grand Preceptor, what do you think?"
When Aodu finished speaking, he deliberately kicked the ball to Yelu Chu.
Yelu Chu couldn't help but curse in his heart; this Aodu looks like a fool, so how could he set someone up at such a critical moment?
If he were to deny it now, wouldn't he be slapping Ogedei in the face?
But if he agreed, it would be said later that he was the one who suggested it.
If Prince Prince Ruyang finds out, he will most likely hate him deeply.
This is truly setting him up!
But ever since Yelu Chu expressed his support for Ogedei's ascension, he had already been unable to get off the boat.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately stepped forward and said:
"General Aodu's words are reasonable. This old minister is willing to draft this document to summon Prince Prince Ruyang's family here."
"Good!"
A look of joy appeared on Ogedei's face.
This was his intention all along.
"Finally, this Miss Duanmu Rong..."
Ogedei pondered for a while longer and said,
"A Profound Yin Body can also bring people great benefits.
To be described this way by the Heavenly Dao, what kind of benefits are these exactly?
Is it a great advancement in cultivation? Or a great increase in lifespan? Or something else?"
