Chapter 475 - Imperial Court Assembly Discussions (2/2)

There were additional memories in his mind, including a method of practice called the Emperor’s Scripture. There was also some general knowledge about cultivation, such as the divisions of the cultivation realms, after which he found out that he had stopped at the Mahayana phase. He would attain immortality in the following phase.

However, becoming an immortal was indeed an extremely difficult task. The most important part of this was Dujie–the process of gaining special powers via cultivation. However, because this is against the Heavens, the cultivator would be struck with disasters. After he rode out the worst of these disasters, he would be able to ascend to the Immortal World.

Chen Jin thought that this was the so-called “inheritance.” He had found a treasure, and he was elated.

He looked at the sky, it was almost dark. He had to find a place to reorganize.

He had just checked the condition of his body. But there was nothing on of his body. He had no clothes or anything like that. There was a sword stuck into the ground beside him and a little monkey sleeping away.

The little monkey had awakened too and it looked around vacant eyes. It found itself in a strange environment. When he saw Chen Jin, its eyes that had dimmed brightened again. Obviously, it knew this unlucky wretch.

The Ancestor of the Wei dynasty changed himself into a stream of light, heading to the forest in the west. There was nothing there. The transmission array was still there, but there were no changes to it. There were no signs of even a single person crossing through the array.

The transmission array could not be used because there was no spiritual power on the other end. Even the Ancestor, with cultivation that was at the pinnacle as a powerful immortal, could not cross over into the other world using the array.

The Ancestor of the Wei dynasty frowned, then turned into a stream of light and left.

After a few days, the young man named Zhang Jin also brought a few men with him here. They left after staying for a few days.

The Wei Ancestor did not say anything when he returned to the palace. He went to the place where he usually secluded himself.

Zhang Jin of the Wu state returned and during court assembly the next morning.

Zhang Jin took a step forward to present his account, “Reporting to Your Majesty, no abnormality has been found in the border between Wu and Wei. I think that it’s only a case of someone with great power passing through, hence causing the spiritual fluctuations of the transmission array.”

“If that is so, then there is no need to take keep an eye on it. Esteemed officials, do you have any documents to present?”

….

“Then I will mention one thing. Yesterday, the messenger from Shu came to confer with me about formalizing the alliance treaty. I strongly agree with this. My esteemed officials, what are your thoughts on this?”

“The land under the Heavens has existed for a hundred years. Today, Wei has nursed the vitality of their state back to health, built up troops and stored up energy. Wei Wudi is ambitious as a wolf. He will undoubtedly raise troops and sent them to the south. The Wu-Shu alliance will certainly be left to their own accord,” The Prime Minister said.

“Also, the Wu State is currently on its third generation of emperors and they are adored by the commoners. Their sects, both large and small agree with us. Every influential family stands united in heart and mind, they are not afraid of Wei,” The head of the Zhou family said.

“The Shu State has fertile land stretching thousands of miles, it is also a rising power. They have several cultivators at the Mahayana phase which means they can go on long campaigns and perfect their warfare. They also train their soldiers with the correct methods. Their Mentors of State are so wise and knowledgeable that they nearly seem to be demons. If we form an alliance with Shu, we will be able to resist Wei!” The head of the Yunxia Sect said.

“Then the matter of the alliance is thus concluded. I will send people on a diplomatic mission to Shu tomorrow. Which of my esteemed officials are willing to go?” The King of Wu asked.

“I recommend someone for this mission. He will achieve success!” The Prime Minister said.

“Who?”

“He is the Director of the Board of Rites, Zhang Jin!”

“Is the esteemed official Zhang willing to do this?”

“I will not disappoint your expectations. I will return with news of success,” Zhang Jin said

“Good.”

……

Besides, Chen Jin went to a small village, and with his Mahayana cultivation, stole a linen garment. Wearing the garment, he could finally walk on the road.

The monkey saw that he was wearing clothes and wanted to wear it too. It grabbed and pulled at Chen Jin with no sign of stopping. What surprised Chen Jin was that this monkey has a Mahayana phase cultivation too. It was no wonder that this monkey appeared to have considerable intelligence. Moreover, it had also gone into that pond of water with Chen Jin and had its essence “washed” and its energy refined.

Hence, we saw a swordsman clad in white and a monkey with golden fur, clad in red walking together on the road. It looked very strange.
