Chapter 813: After the modification -445 Change_2
“According to the rules, we should not intervene in imperial court affairs, but my royal brother once entrusted me with a word. If one day he suddenly disappears without a trace, and there is no news after six months, and you still continue to dispute, then it shall be up to me to decide, using the spirit of the Qiankun Cauldron, and choose one among you to be established as the new ruler.”
Ji Yongheng swept his gaze over King Jin and the others, speaking slowly while inwardly shaking his head slightly.
He was younger than Ji Yongzhao by a few years, but even though they were of the same generation, both born in the direct line of the royal family, he considered himself unqualified to compete with Ji Yongzhao for the throne. After achieving the Blood Exchange Realm in martial arts, he had sparred with Ji Yongzhao several times and never won.
Compared to Ji Yongzhao, King Jin and these eight princes, he was far inferior. By the time Ji Yongzhao was King Jin’s age, he had long reached the Blood Exchange Realm, rather than lingering in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, not daring to attempt the life-and-death pass to Blood Exchange.
As for the current eight princes, if any of them stepped into Blood Exchange, it would no longer be necessary for the Qiankun Cauldron to choose the new ruler. The one who entered Blood Exchange would hold an absolute advantage, and the elder members of the Ji Clan would support them, making the succession uncontested.
As for Ji Yongzhao…
Although this royal brother had kept some matters from him, he knew a bit of the inside story.
“Ultimately, he still couldn’t succeed, could he.”
Ji Yongheng sighed inwardly, understanding that such methods were defying heaven, and failure was not surprising. Even if one steps into the Blood Exchange Realm, they remain mortal, unable to escape the bounds of heaven and earth, and seeking immortality is still an elusive goal.
Naturally, Ji Yongheng would not say these things aloud, as his knowledge was limited, and much of it was speculation. He didn’t even know when Ji Yongzhao disappeared from the court. Now that he had been missing for over six months, perhaps he had indeed failed in his quest for immortality and perished.
Now.
Ji Yongzhao’s life and whereabouts were unknown, and though King Jin and the others were unimpressive, one of them must be selected.
Seeing that King Jin, King Chu, and the others were all solemnly awaiting, Ji Yongheng finally spoke slowly: “Very well, you eight, use your Inner Breath to connect with the Qiankun Cauldron and see who ultimately receives its recognition.”
With the words spoken.
King Jin, King Chu, King Han, and the others exchanged glances, each showing different expressions.
Among them, King Jin seemed the most composed. As the eldest among the eight, though he had not reached the Blood Exchange Realm, he believed his martial arts cultivation and strength surpassed his seven royal brothers. He had long been first on Da Xuan Grandmaster’s list before Chen Mu appeared.
In terms of bloodline, his was the purest.
In terms of power, his supporters were the most extensive, even among the elder members of the Ji Clan who guarded the Qiankun Cauldron. They leaned more towards him, placing him in an all-encompassing advantageous position, standing in an invincible spot.
The position of the new ruler of Da Xuan was surely his, and the Qiankun Cauldron could not choose anyone else.
As long as he received the Cauldron’s recognition, the other seven princes would have no chance to compete with him, even if they united.
Taking into account the overwhelming recognition, even those supporting King Chu and King Han would largely retreat, ceasing resistance.
Even those unwilling to give up, he was confident he could calmly divide and conquer them through various means.
In comparison.
King Chu’s gaze was deep. His thoughts differed from King Jin’s. If he could gain the Cauldron’s support, that would be the best outcome, making it difficult for King Jin to stop his ascension.
But if he did not gain the support, he had to prevent King Jin from getting it. If anyone else obtained it, there was still a chance to compete, but if King Jin got the Cauldron’s support, there would be no more opportunities.
As for the lower-ranked King Han and King Liang, they focused on striving with all their might to gain the Qiankun Cauldron’s recognition. They were at a disadvantage already, and the recent matters with Chen Mu had further shaken their foundations. The Cauldron’s recognition was their only chance to reverse the situation!
“Come.”
King Dongping, Ji Yongheng, stepped forward, and with a light wave of his right hand, the Qiankun Cauldron on the jade platform rippled, its surface immediately glowing with the Qiankun Eight Phases’ light.
At this moment.
King Jin and the others stepped forward, their eyes sharp, reaching out their hands, channeling their Inner Breath to emit eight distinct Qi Forces, casting eight colored beams towards the Cauldron’s surface!
King Jin’s force emitted a black-and-white intersecting Yin Yang Light, while King Chu cast a flowing Five Elements Qi. The other kings revealed various top-level techniques.
Buzz!!
The Qiankun Spiritual Light on the Cauldron’s surface started to ripple upon contact with the princes’ Qi, transforming into waves of fluctuating light, as if the Cauldron’s spirituality was weighing its decision.
The elder Ji Clan members guarding the Cauldron opened their eyes, some standing and some still seated, focusing on King Jin and the other princes.
Among them.
King Dongping, Ji Yongheng, observed the eight Qi Forces carefully, ultimately focusing on King Jin, with a slight ripple in his eyes.
Though none of the eight princes were comparable to their father, Ji Yongzhao, it was true that King Jin’s cultivation in the Path of Yin and Yang was the most outstanding. With his experience, choosing King Jin might cause the least court upheaval, allowing for the quickest stabilization.
The Qiankun Cauldron was likely to choose the same way.
However. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Just as Ji Yongheng thought, he noticed an eerie gleam flash deep in King Han Ji Xuanfei’s eyes. An anomaly flickered in his Internal Force Qi Mechanism.
The Cauldron’s flickering Spiritual Light, seemingly about to settle on King Jin’s Qi, suddenly shimmered intensely, surged, and then merged into King Han Ji Xuanfei’s Spiritual Light instead!
Buzz!!
Instantly, King Han’s Qi surged. He no longer needed his Inner Breath to guide the Spiritual Light, as the Qiankun Cauldron’s light engulfed him!
“This is impossible!”
King Jin’s face changed.
“What’s happening?”
King Zhao’s expression shifted.
“What did you do?!”
King Yan glared at King Han, questioning sharply.
From a distance.
Many Blood Exchange Realm masters from various factions observing the situation also changed expressions.
The Cauldron’s light had lingered longer around King Chu and King Jin, seeming to be contemplating between them, why did it suddenly favor King Han?!
“What’s happening?”
“Why King Han.”
“Among the eight, he is the least outstanding. Why did the Cauldron choose him?”
Many Blood Exchange Realm masters frowned, looking displeased.
Only one person, the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion Master accompanying King Han, usually sickly, had a sparkle in his eyes. The divination of the Mysterious Mechanism Mirror had indeed tapped into the Heavenly Mechanism; their choice was right!
Only King Han knew what had happened. It was his fortune. He had once accidentally obtained a secret technique from the Great Wilderness, not belonging to Da Xuan, capable of interfering with ‘spiritual’ Spirit Weapons.
This secret technique had little use as few Spirit Weapons possessed true spirituality. Those who could wield such weapons were the world’s top masters; many belonged to the royal family. Yet the fortuitous secret technique had a massive impact on connecting with the Qiankun Cauldron’s Spiritual Light!
Before, none expected Emperor Xuan, Ji Yongzhao, to vanish without naming a successor, leaving the decision to be made by the Qiankun Cauldron, guarded by elders like Ji Yongheng!
“Cough, cough… So it is, so it is, this is destiny, destiny…”
The Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion Master coughed, blood trickling from his mouth, unnoticed as he muttered gleefully.
