The interest of millions of elite soldiers, their influence is so grand!

If the imperial court were to break their promise and prioritize their self-interest, the morale of these millions of soldiers may well be lost in an instant and it would be impossible to recover.

“So how was this resolved in the end?” Wang Boan pressed on.

Now that Gu Ji has arrived, it naturally means that the situation has been resolved, but it is still unknown how it ended.

A hint of satisfaction emerged on Gu Ji’s face, as if a weight had been lifted from his chest.

“Those people are fools, but none of the Council Elders are dullards, how could they not know the consequences of breaking promises? Plus, our emperor is no ordinary person. Once they spoke out, those voices were naturally suppressed, and no one dares to bring it up anymore.” Gu Ji smirked.

Of course, he did not disclose the full details; there was more to the story.

Apart from the possible consequences and external pressures they have mentioned, there is one more point: for these Council Elders, nothing is more enticing than the promise of longevity.

If they hadn’t had the opportunity in the past, they might have been more short-sighted for immediate benefits, and let those people run rampant, even if it meant taking some risks.

But the current situation is quite unusual. After the revival of Heaven and Earth, Longevity is within reach. Although becoming a True Immortal is a dream, extending life and achieving immortality is not mere talk.

If you ask who is the most eager for the Divine Dynasty Plan, it is not Pei Xuanjing and his group, but the Council Elders in the Court who are already advanced in age. They hope to extend their lives through this Divine Dynasty Plan.

Compared with their own life and death, those benefits are not worth mentioning. At least for now, life is the most important thing.

These benefits are only useful if they can be used on themselves while being alive. If they die, what is the point of those benefits?

Furthermore, there is the Emperor, who is well-known for pursuing longevity. How could he possibly let this opportunity slip through his hands?

As for why he, Gu Ji, was so keen on making this happen, completing tasks back and forth for Council Elder Wang, it was also for the same purpose.

He did not possess Wang Boan’s cultivation talent. He could easily make thousands of miles in a day on the path of Martial Arts and have a long life.

But if he were to give up this opportunity, he would have to watch himself grow old day by day.

Therefore, the result has actually been predetermined; there will absolutely be no surprises.

Even if Gu Ji didn’t spell it out, Wang Boan had a clear understanding.

Gu Ji said solemnly, “Before leaving, the Emperor said that as long as the Dragon Vein Qi Luck could be led into the Central Plains, facilitating the plan of the Divine Dynasty, then even if all the vast grasslands were to be enfeoffed, it wouldn’t matter.”

For the Emperor, what he is now seeking is longevity. As long as the plan of the Divine Dynasty is completed, not only will he gain personal strength, but it will also be a transformation for the Great Ming Empire.

By then, if he has formidable strength, he can naturally suppress the world again and retake what was originally his.

After all, the matter of weakening the territory is not unheard of. In the past six hundred years of Great Ming, it had done so before.

“In that case, let’s invite representatives from all forces to brainstorm this matter.” Wang Boan nodded.

Wang Boan naturally guessed about the Emperor’s plan. However, he didn’t find anything wrong with it.

After all, to put it bluntly, since ancient times, a powerful territory doesn’t listen to the imperial court’s orders, behaves independently, and even starts uprisings; while the central Dynasty, when strong, starts to weaken the territorial lords.

This kind of situation is inevitable and doesn’t need to be mentioned. Those people among the great forces are very clear about it. Everyone is now playing a game of chess, betting that they will be stronger in the future and will be the ultimate winner.

Until the last moment, no one is willing to give up their interests easily.

Now that the imperial court has kept its word, it is a very good result for him.

Although he, Wang Boan, longs to be a loyal and filial subject, that doesn’t mean he wants the subordinates and soldiers who devote themselves to him to end up with nothing.

After all, while Wang Boan is a loyal subject of the empire, he is also a member of a prominent family and a Noble Official. In the upcoming enfeoffment, he will also receive a fair share.

Unless it is necessary, he doesn’t wish to give up what he deserves. Because he now represents not only his own interests but also those of countless soldiers and subordinates. The people behind him wouldn’t want to see him do that.

“Let’s go! Go meet the soldiers who have risked their lives for the empire!” Wang Boan said to Gu Ji.

Gu Ji nodded with a smile, “I’ll follow your lead, Brother Wang!”

A potential major disaster dissipated. Regarding the happenings in the imperial court of the Great Ming, even if Pei Xuanjing did not intentionally pay attention, people from all walks of life would still relay the news to him.

However, Pei Xuanjing was not bothered by it. The city of Tiandu is currently under the control of Bai Xiaosheng and Daoist Xuanming who has ascended to the Spirit Realm; they will naturally take care of everything.

Moreover, regardless of anyone else, with those elderly Council elders and that Emperor, who is single-minded in his pursuit of Becoming Immortal, all efforts of the opponents will undoubtedly be in vain.

Pei Xuanjing on Shenxiao Mountain is refining the Taoyun from the Purple Thunder Immortal Gold, and studying the Door Incense Refining God Skill at the same time.

He is not in a hurry to cultivate this skill. Instead, he absorbs the essence of this skill for his own use.

After all, the times have changed. If Pei Xuanjing had obtained this skill before the fight with the Howling Moon Gray Wolf, he would naturally cultivate this skill, even if the path of the Incense Faith has flaws.

But now he has glimpsed the possibility of cultivating the Golden Core Dao of the Taoist School. He naturally wouldn’t abandon this unparalleled Dao of the Taoist School to try an uncertain path.

However, just because he doesn’t cultivate this skill doesn’t mean others can’t. In Pei Xuanjing’s view, the person most suitable for this skill is not himself, but the current Emperor of the Great Ming, the young Jiajing Emperor.

He does indeed have an extraordinary talent in Refining Spirit; after many years, he has reached the apex of mortal Refining Spirit and formed his Divine Soul. It’s just that he is unsure about the Yin God Crossing Thunder Tribulation transformation, so he has not broken through yet.

After all, the technique he practiced was taught by Pei Xuanjing. However, so far, Pei Xuanjing has only compiled a technique on how to gather his Divine Soul, and he doesn’t have too many clues on subsequent cultivation methods.

Now, the Incense Fire God Refining Skill that Pei Xuanjing has obtained seems very suitable for that person in his view.
