But can they accept the existence of a group of people who are above them?
"So what if you can't accept it?"
Things have already turned out this way.
"The only thing we can do is to separate the two groups as much as possible so that they don't interfere with each other," Jiang Li said in a low voice.
The rise of cultivators above ordinary people is an inevitable trend, and dynasties in the traditional sense must also change.
Either let the strongest person ascend the throne, and govern all other capitals from the center of the dynasty.
However, the Jiang family probably cannot produce such a person in a short period of time, which means that Jiang Li will be kept on the throne for a long time.
The only option is for cultivator sects to withdraw from the world.
We should try our best not to disrupt the lives of ordinary people.
This wasn't the original plan, but things developed too quickly, so they had to temporarily change their minds.
"Let this child handle state affairs for now, and then officially appoint him when the time is right."
The Imperial Guards cannot be handed over yet. Su Chen needs some time to build a new team for the new emperor.
As for these old acquaintances, Su Chen had more important things to entrust to them.
For cultivators, only greater power can suppress them.
If you want those sects to live in seclusion, you have to use force to show them that there are always people more powerful than you, and that there is always something beyond your understanding.
The current dynasty, having broken away from Su Chen, is simply incapable of achieving this.
After helping Jiang Li confirm her successor, Su Chen personally took her to the Thousand Machines Sect.
However, after three thousand years, the inheritance of the Thousand Machines has been almost completely destroyed, with only one bracelet remaining.
The cultivation technique currently used by the Thousand Machines Sect was passed down from this bracelet.
Su Chen used some tricks to persuade the current sect leader of the Thousand Machines Sect to hand over the bracelet and show it to Su Chen.
This thing has lost its original spirituality and seems to have degenerated into an ordinary magical artifact.
But that familiar scent still plunged Su Chen into memories.
Almost instinctively, Su Chen activated the bracelet.
The exquisitely crafted city appeared before everyone like a mold.
At the same time, a refreshing vitality also emerged.
Even after just a short period of contact, everyone present felt more relaxed.
"Sir, how did you know that this bracelet could be used in this way?"
The sect leader looked at Su Chen in surprise.
The cultivation technique that Qianji Sect is currently using was something he suddenly saw in a dream one day before.
The sect leader initially thought it was the spirit of his ancestors, but after learning about the concept of spiritual artifacts, he realized it might be the spirit of the artifact spreading its teachings.
Su Chen, who had only just come into contact with the bracelet, actually knew more about it than the real sect leader.
"We just happened to run into each other."
Keep this bracelet safe. I hope that one day I won't have to come to you to borrow it again.
After Su Chen and the other person left Qianji Sect, Jiang Li finally spoke up and asked the question that had been bothering her.
Have you seen that bracelet before?
We had a period of connection.
"Is it related to the crisis facing the world?"
"More or less, but that bracelet seems to be nearing its limit. If the crisis recurs, it might not be able to hold on for much longer."
Su Chen shook his head; the life force within the bracelet had become extremely weak.
If this bracelet were to be used against extraterrestrial creatures again, it would likely be destroyed in a single encounter.
Rather than using it against the enemy, it's better to leave it in the hands of the Thousand Machines Sect Master as a memento.
Su Chen's true trump card is what Dao Sheng realized back then.
This includes not only the physical cultivation technique, but also the new life gained from the destruction of the lightning tribulation.
These two items complement each other. As long as Su Chen can retrieve them, he will have enough confidence to fight against a small number of extraterrestrial creatures.
However, Su Chen always had a question in his mind: where did He Xingyao go back then?
In the game, he sacrificed his life to suppress all extraterrestrial creatures.
This does not mean that the extraterrestrial creatures that infiltrated the world have disappeared.
On the contrary, Su Chen always believed that they were still alive.
However, it may be extremely weak and require a longer period of dormancy before it can recover.
The problem now is that he can't find the group of people who were petrified.
It's as if she disappeared along with He Xingyao from back then.
Even though Su Chen had instructed Jin Bufan to search the secret realm carefully and look for similar things as much as possible.
But so far, there has been no news from Jin Bufan.
As for Lu Wuyai?
He claimed to know nothing about what happened back then, as if he had barely participated in the events.
"Is there some noise in the yard?"
When Su Chen and his companion returned to the small courtyard in the imperial city, they both keenly sensed that there seemed to be living beings in the courtyard.
The two exchanged a glance and rushed inside with perfect coordination.
They were ready for battle, after all, anyone who could bypass the guards' surveillance and sneak into the courtyard silently must be quite skilled.
However, what they didn't expect was that the people in the yard weren't human.
Instead, it was a fox that was entirely white.
Looking at that face, the two of them almost simultaneously thought of the white fox they had rescued in the mountains.
"It's you?"
Chapter 157 Changes in the North
"How did the little white fox get here?"
Su Chen used his divine sense to confirm the white fox's body again; it was still just a wild beast, its spiritual sense not yet awakened.
Jiang Li gently picked up the white fox. The little guy's fur was snow-white, and it didn't seem to have any injuries. The hind leg injury that Su Chen had treated earlier was now completely healed.
"Why don't we raise it?"
We just happened to be missing a pet in the yard.
Jiang Li teased the little white fox, then looked up at Su Chen.
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
However, it may not be able to become an ordinary pet.
"why?"
"I set up several simple formations in this courtyard, and it managed to avoid triggering any of them."
This is not something an ordinary wild beast could do.
The formation left behind by Su Chen has no blind spots.
Normal wild animals would be led away even if they came near this place, let alone enter the yard.
If they manage to break into the courtyard, there will be two defensive formations to drive them out.
This little white fox was able to remain unharmed in the yard, which is definitely not as simple-minded and harmless as it appears.
With proper guidance, this little fox might grow up faster than the monsters in the mountains.
"I don't care, let's leave this little guy here for now?"
Jiang Li played with the little fox for a while longer, and only after the guards brought over the food did she pull Su Chen to eat together.
The night was long, but the two people inside the house never had a moment's rest.
The surrounding guards had already withdrawn, leaving only the little white fox, sitting upright in the courtyard, her eyes fixed on the bedroom where the two were.
It wasn't until the next day, when the sun was high in the sky, that Su Chen slowly got out of bed and patted the slightly lazy Jiang Li beside him.
"Hey, stop messing around, let me sleep a little longer."
"I thought you were so strong, but you're just a pretty face with no substance."
Su Chen suppressed a mischievous smile.
"Go! Go! Go.
"Bad guy."
Jiang Li was not unaware of matters concerning the bedroom, but she never imagined that there could be so many variations.
Although she started the fight, Su Chen was too fierce, and the sparring continued until dawn.
It's only because she's so strong; if it were someone else, they would probably be torn to pieces.
"Shall we get married then?"
"Forehead……"
“Hua Jingyun can come along.”
I don’t mind.”
Jiang Li could see Su Chen's hesitation, something she had already considered. At worst, she would become Hua Jingyun's equal wife.
Anyway, she won't be the emperor in the future, so as long as she doesn't mind, no one else can say anything.
