The Great Seminary

Chapter 400 Great Kindness
If the supreme human race does not suffer any calamities, he or she will have the ability to live forever.

Therefore, even though the Great Emperor did not die or ascend to the outer universe, his 'true form' was influenced by the laws of this world and returned to its original state.

His descendants could not inherit his bloodline and divine power.

Although Daqi still exists, his father Dayu is gone. As the only father and son god-kings of the human race, they are naturally connected by blood.

Therefore, the Xia Que Qi clan did not possess the divine abilities of Emperor Qi, but they did possess the divine power of King Yu.

When Yu the Great controlled the floods and saved humanity, he relied on the method of dredging the earth's veins across the vast expanse of the "Four Continents of the Earth".

Ultimately, the world-destroying torrent was completely channeled into the underground cavern, turning harm into benefit and reversing the tide, forcing the demon world into a vulnerable position...

Zhang Gui looked up at the phantom footprints left in the clouds, falling straight to the ground. They were gradually changing the landscape, and he silently thought with awe, "..."

"Yu Step, this is the Yu Step that suppresses the fortune of the Hundred Races of Earthly Demons!"

It can channel the earth's veins and instantly transform the sea into mulberry fields; this is the limit of the earth's laws and the ultimate transformation of the universe!
That really does mean, no, it means a very, very large amount!

At this moment, Shen Shijing, riding on auspicious clouds, leaned against him. Holding a massive longbow taller than himself, he looked around and said:

"How about we, the dragon and the tiger, each guarding both sides, with you to the north and south and me to the east and west?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a monster with a human face and a bird's body, wearing green snakes in its ears and stepping on red snakes, flew to the side of the two of them, carrying Su Hui's sparse hair in its mouth.

The old man laughed and said, "Cuoyang Longhu, Shen Xianzi, let's have the three of us stand guard against each other."

“That would be even better.” Shen Shijing would certainly not object.

Zhang Gui agreed, saying, "With the senior doctor in charge, I can rest assured."

He glanced at Su Hui's strange appearance, wanting to ask something, but then hesitated to speak.

After all, it concerns someone's extraordinary abilities. Even if it's unimportant, you shouldn't be curious if you don't have a close relationship with them.

On the contrary, Su Hui, being shrewd with age, noticed Zhang Gui's unusual behavior and took the initiative to explain: "Long Hu, certain techniques should be practiced in conjunction with weapons."

By unleashing certain divine powers, one can also use rare objects to perfect their true form and 'amplify' their supernatural abilities.

My ancestor was not Yu Qiang, the god of the North Sea. The hairpin I wear on my head is a relic from ancient times, transformed from a tail feather of my ancestral god.

Therefore, although I cannot manifest my true form, I can still use this strange object to connect with the gods and unleash some supernatural powers.

It just looks a bit odd.

"I see." Zhang Gui's face showed a look of sudden realization.

"Duke Su is indeed worthy of being a descendant of an important minister of the Xia Dynasty, a famous family in the Heavenly Court with a long history, and his heritage is truly profound."

Unlike me, a down-and-out, although I am also a descendant of an ancient god, my lineage has been scattered.

It's said that the oldest and most prestigious surname is Ji, but there are also surnames like Zhang, Nie, Bo, Xiong, Boshan, and so on—in short, a whole variety of strange surnames.

Since the other party took the initiative to answer his questions, Zhang Gui, being of a good nature, naturally reciprocated with even greater politeness.

At this moment, streams of pungent sap began to seep from the ground.

A nine-tongued tiger emerged from the ground, revealing a tiny bit of its fractured skull.

Then the earth's crust slowly moved and compressed, crushing everything into fine pieces of flesh and bone.

Zhang Gui originally wanted to take advantage of the "false politeness" and ask something after being modest, but when he saw this scene under the moonlight, he choked up.

The Nine-tongued Tiger is known for its thick skin, strong bones, tough flesh, and strong vitality.

The nine-tongued tiger that peeked out had a pointed head the size of a well opening.

Judging from its small size, its entire body was at least ten zhang tall, making it an absolute overlord among its kind. But even it only managed to survive the "surprise kill," while countless other demons and monsters of lesser stature had already been silently buried underground!

Time passed slowly, and Zhang Gui stood silently with Shen Shijing and Su Hui, suspended in mid-air.

After an unknown amount of time, the footprints above his head disappeared without a trace.

Su Hui formed hand seals and sensed the surroundings for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Alright, the storm has passed. You may go and rest for a while, Caiyang Longhu."

"I and Doctor Shijing must go immediately to pay our respects to Young Master Zhenyao and find out the truth..."

"Please go ahead, old doctor. I just have one question: was the one who just used the Yu Step Divine Power the true young lord Yao?"

"Yes." Su Hui's tone clearly revealed a hint of barely suppressed joy, but he insisted on putting on the air of a wise man who "remains calm in the face of great events" and answered with a single word.

Zhang Gui's eyes darted around, and he turned his head to Shen Shijing, "Fairy Shijing, you just said..."
'At the banquet of Young Master Zhenyao... I feel... he is indeed blessed with good fortune, both in literature and martial arts... and he is also the ruler of an ancient royal family... It is quite appropriate to recommend him...' So you plan to use me to do things, right?

It is truly an honor for me to be able to assist such noblemen of the Xia Dynasty and gentlemen of the Qi family.

I am ready to serve at any time.

Shen Shijing's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, and he looked at Zhang Gui and said:
"Longhu's temperament is truly capricious and difficult to control."

But a gentleman looks to conduct himself with integrity.

Since you have never been known to commit any acts of betrayal or evil, and since you have been willing to provide strong support to your old friends and brothers who were once friends in humble circumstances after you gained power.

I'm willing to help you secure a future so we can support and help each other in the future.

So just wait, after I've met with Young Master Zhenyao, I will come back to find you.

After saying that, she exchanged a glance with Su Hui, turned around, and soared into the sky.

During the journey, Shen Shijing couldn't help but ask softly:
"Lord Su, even if Young Lord Zhenyao came with the mandate of heaven and was blessed by the supreme power of the Great Qi, I never imagined he could achieve this."

The greater one's potential, the more difficult it is to overcome the insurmountable barrier to extraordinary advancement.

Of course, I know that if one can overcome this obstacle, the increase in strength will be even more astonishing.

But why did it come to this?

"Perhaps this is destiny." Su Hui, unable to answer, could only attribute it to fate, and murmured:
"In an era of great contention, heroes emerge in abundance, and those who wish to emulate the supreme ruler and dominate the world must naturally be extraordinary individuals."

Shen Shijing pondered these words and nodded slightly, "That is indeed the case."

Having personally witnessed Zhang Gui's words and actions during this "accident," what is your opinion on whether he is truly the emperor?

"It's not that important anymore," Su Hui replied calmly.
"Since the young lord Zhen Yao has mastered such great power as soon as he entered the Class B Transcendent Realm, the true form of King Yu is even more lifelike."

In the future, sects and states will naturally come to join us; it's just a matter of when or how soon they rise to power.

In situations like these, it's better to let things take their natural course than to try to seize the opportunity.

After all, a young ruler is a young ruler, not a supreme ruler. In the 'Summer Palace,' the most powerful person is only below the chief steward.

"And Zhen Yao Shaojun is already a 'Zhongdafu' (a high-ranking official), which is enough for now."

This statement would sound like utter nonsense to an ordinary person.

Since there is already a young ruler serving as the chief minister in the Xia Palace, why is Qi Zhenyao, a mere Grand Master, sufficient?

But Shin Seok-kyung, born into royalty and well-versed in history, had a different perspective on this and nodded in approval, saying, "These are excellent words."
